The title says "The house of the Cities of Spain." All cities in Spain that have been accepted go here. And remember that not all of the cities here will have the same mother. Their father will always be Spain (played by me). I'll just start with my two girls: Barcelona and Madrid.
Barcelona bounced up and down excitedly. "¡Barcelona! ¿Va a calmarse, por favor? Es sólo otra visita de papá," Madrid said quietly. "¡Lo sé, Madrid! Pero es por eso que es emocionante! Por lo general nos trae regalos!" Barcelona said happily, running around the room. Madrid just sighed, watching her sister. She knew that their Papá Spain would be here any minute and that their Papá Spain was the only person in the world who could calm her down.... that she knew of at least. Then Madrid heard her inbox chime. She sat down at her laptop and sighed, looking over the new email. "Papá says 'Lo siento, hijas. No puedo hacer hoy. Estoy organizando una reunión nación europea. Enviar las otras ciudades de mi amor'," Madrid said, a little sadness edging her voice. Barcelona sat down, sighing sadly. Then she said, "Hey! Maybe we can go to the European Nation meeting with him!" "NO!" Madrid sighed, "It's a nation meeting. Not a nation and city meeting." Barcelona lowered her head, embarrassed by what she had just said. "Lo siento... I didn't think that one through," Barcelona laughed, standing up, "Maybe we could go visit some of the other cities!" Madrid smiled quietly, replying, "Alright. But first, let's make sure that someone is here to watch the younger ciudades." "I'll do it. Go on, you two," a voice said. Madrid spun around to see her older brother Cádiz smiling at her. "Alright. We owe you one, Cádiz," Barcelona cried, running out the door. "See you later," Madrid said before following her sister.
