Emily mentioned that she and Pierre and played it for three hours. D.W. wanted to know who was Pierre. Emily already told D.W. about Pierre. Emily and Pierre played in tag along the Seine and hide and seek in the Louvre. D.W told Emily that she, Tommy, and Timmy did cannonballs in the pool for four hours. Then D.W. said that one time Tommy got water up his nose. Then, Emily forgot to tell D.W. the best part. Emily said on her last night in France, Pierre kissed her. D.W. was grossed out and knew that she dared him to. But Emily mentioned they were at a marionette show and right when the baker was about to hit the bandit with a rolling pin, Pierre grabbed Emily's hand and...it happened. It was like Emily had been kissed by a princess. Then, Nadine told D.W. that she has been kissed by a lot of people. Nadine said her mom, her dad, and even Arthur kissed her. But D.W. wanted a kiss from a real boy and then the Tibble Twins heard D.W.'s conversation and wondered if she is going to kiss them. So they run away and say that D.W. has cooties. At preschool, they were sleeping and D.W. imagined being kissed by James and then he turned into a frog and so did D.W.. Then, D.W. asks Arthur if he understands anything about kissing. Arthur says that he doesn't realize anything about kissing. Then D.W. observes a book and tells Arthur that he does understand something about kissing and asks about the name of the book. Arthur says it is entitled Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Arthur says they are reading it in class and gives her a mini plot about it. Then, D.W. got kissed by James.
