[ ONE OF THESE STUDENTS DOES NOT BELONG...

A hand shoots up and soon, the girl who owns it is standing, too. ]

Okay! Um, hi... everyone! I'm Lin Xiaowan! Wait, no, that's not what I mean... I was going to say Taiwan, but then I changed my mind, but then I thought - ah! My name is Lin Xiaomei, but you can call me Taiwan, you know! It's nice to meet you!

[pasodoble]

( ( What do you mean? No, Spain isn't going to notice. ) )

Sí! Lin Xiaomei that's. . . ( ( Scrolling down the roster to find the name. He'll find it eventually. ) ) Oh, Taiwan! This is a pleasant surprise.

[hwamei]

[ She isn't going to notice this is Mayfield Elementary, either... ]

Staying at home is really boring, so I decided to come to school this year!

[pasodoble]

¡Bien! Good! Education is a very important even if it's a little boring.

[Raising her hand.]

Mr. Spain? What's all that other stuff you wrote on the board?

[pasodoble]

Yes? Well, those are my names! ( ( Pointing to each one, ) )

Antonio Fernandez-Carriedo is the town this gave me and this one is "Kingdom of Spain" which is my full name but most people know me as ( ( circling Spain one more time. ) ) the greatest country in the entire world! Spain.

[friendly_ghosts]

[She digests this information thoughtfully, then raises her hand again.]

I thought Prussia was the greatest country...

[pasodoble]

( ( No, get out. Prussia doesn't even compare to the beautiful country that is Spain. ) )

Prusia? Nn-- He's good too! ( ( But he can't bring himself to rain on this cute girl's parade. Oh. ) ) He's a good country too.

( ( Toro was bobbing in and out of sleep but when the bell rang, he looked up, wide eyed and alert. It takes him a moment to notice Nina but when he does, he stares at her with dark eyes, flicks his tail in the air, and huffs.

Toro would never charge at a woman. ) )

[idkmybffspain]

( ( Staring, staring. . . he'll let her get closer and he even sticks is nose out a bit to sniff her hand before letting her pet him. Again, he sneezes and flicks his tail around happily at her.

Yes, this is his way of saying hello. ) )

[There's a Canadian and her bear watching from the tree in their front yard. For a moment, she's confused, then she gets worried and hops down, directly in line with where the bull seems to be going. Is that the smart thing to do? Of course it is. She's Canada.]

( ( AND TORO IS CHARGING AT SPAIN. CHARGING, CHARGING. . . HE'S GOING TO GET SPAIN THIS TIME.

and suddenly there's a woman and Toro veers off course into someone's frontyard and begins to stamp at the grass, turning around and trying to figure out what happened.) )

[pasodoble]

( ( Meanwhile, Spain is some way down the road before he realizes how much easier running is. . . He stops a few houses down and looks around, looking just as confused as his simple friend. ) )

Ay! Toro! What are you doing all the way back there? ( ( Spain begins to jog back, out of breath and smiling still until he sees Canada. ) ) Huh? Oh, hello! You aren't hurt, are you?

[welljustwatchme]

[Canada is trying to figure out how to befriend a bull and hoping it's sort of like befriending a moose when the poor fellow being chased starts heading back. Then she takes a polite step away, half turning to him.]

Oh, no, I'm quite fine, thank you. [Staring at him a little bit because hey familiarity. But she's not going to be rude and bring that up first.] Is this bull your friend?

[burnmycapital]

[Approaches the bull. What is a bull doing at the elementary school? Janitor Ivan decided to have a look at it. Not that he minds.]

[idkmybffspain]

( ( Toro isn't afraid of Russia so he only stares at Russia but he watches carefully knowing that this is someone even Spain got chills from. ) )

[burnmycapital]

[Crouches down in front of the bull and tries to pet his head.]

[idkmybffspain]

( ( yes, you can pet him. but he'll sneeze all over russia in greeting first. ) )
