Ali had left without me, but that was okay. I read online. There was another fair in Paris, the original reason I wanted to go. I grab Eufus and my bag and run outside. Better hurry. "To Paris," I whisper to myself. All of the sudden, I feel wind rushing around me. And then I smell the most Devine smell of butter melting on the baguette as well as the romantic accordion songs played by the mimes. Someone hands me a drink. "Pour vous, mademoiselle." They say with a bright smile.
"Ooh la la." I hear women chattering. They clink there glasses together and take a sip.
"Merci," I say smiling back. "Merci boucoup."
I wait for the waiter to walk away then set the glass down and run with Rufus to the plaza where the evening will be spent. I quickly twist my hair into a braided bun and grab a name tag as well as a lab coat. I hear many French men and women talking very fast. I right down my French name and pin it on. I walk down the isle and take a seat. I had pre arranged plans so there's a seat with my name on it. I sit next to a young women and she flashes me a smile. I look at her name tag and realize she's the director of all of this. I smile back acting normal. She looks at Rufus who's next to me and her smile fades a little. "Pardon," I excuse myself leashing him up. Be good, I tell him mentally. animals are allowed in many places here, I hope he doesn't get us kicked out. Then I hear someone scoff in the microphone. It was Dr. J Mathews, an American lab doctor. Phew. I'll understand him pretty well. I cross my legs and sit up straight and tall, hands folded in my lap. Time to begin.
