A/N:  I speak French and may have gotten a bit carried away in places.  The translations are in bracketed italics after each French sentence.  Also, sorry for not replying individually to reviews.  I appreciate them all, and I will be better for this chapter!

YAY! It's nice to see a C/A fic includes French (which I speak), instead of Spanish (which I don't).

Oh, my goodness. I would be so frantic and terrified. I feel so awful for them.

This was brilliant, though. Very, very well done.

Yay French! I can generally get what people are writing in Spanish in fics from context, but I definitely don't speak it. I need to get back into the habit of speaking French, so this was definitely fun for me.

Thank you!!

God, I loved this chapter! I actually went to Paris about one month ago and two of my friends got pickpocketed on the subway. I suddenly saw thiefs everywhere. I did not feel safe anymore.

I feel so bad for Arizona. She wanted it to be perfect and that stupid dude completely ruined everything. I hope Callie won't be too mad.

I speak French as well, so I loved how you used some French. I found a little mistake though: 'tout comme elle dit', that should be 'tout comme elle a dit' since it's the past tense. :)

Great chapter! Thank you.

I was pickpocketed in Paris, too. It's definitely a terrible city as far as that's concerned, but I can't help but love it.

I'm sure Callie will get over it...eventually. ;)

Thanks for pointing that out. I've changed it. Definitely should have proofread this haha.

Thanks!

I loved this chapter. I was smiling thru the whole thing.

I'm sure Callie won't be mad, she'll understand, right?
oooh, and I loved the Pierre guy.

I didn't know that in France they pickpocket people. that's awful.
also, thank you for adding the translation of French at the end of each sentence...it seems like everyone here speaks French but me. I speak Spanish, does speaking Spanish compensates that? ;)

great job, lady! looking forward to know what happens next.

You're so sweet. I'm glad you like it!

Most fics seem to use Spanish for Callie, so I thought French would be a nice change. There might be some Spanish in a following chapter, courtesy of google translate. ;)

They pickpocket people in a lot of big cities, but I've definitely noticed it more in Paris.

I really like this story! I love anything french haha. This chapter was sweet and funny. Arizona tried but some days are like that...where everything that can go wrong, does.
Awesome update.
