Alberto smiled back at the girl. "You did that, Akiko!" Guido yelled from the other Monument piece.
"You did!" Bella added. Akiko looked at her Violin, then back at Alberto, in disbelief. "I did that?" She asked. Alberto nodded, still smiling. Akiko was amazed with how much the Positive Energy effected Bosnia & Herzegovina. Akiko gathered her friends for a selfie as she readied her camera. "Okay, guys, selfie time! Selfie time! Everybody say 'Sea Boys!'" Akiko exclaimed.
"Sea Boys!" Everyone else replied as they smiled. The picture was taken as Akiko received two copies from the camera. The Japanese Girl gave one copy to Luca and Alberto for them, Giulia, Guido, and Ciccio to keep, and kept the other for herself and her family. Guido walked up behind the Japanese Girl. "Akiko." He said. Akiko looked Guido's direction in reply. Guido took a few seconds to speak again, and after five seconds, he did. "We. Are so going to make it back to Portorosso!" Guido exclaimed as he gave Akiko a flower. The flower was a Camellia Japonica, which grew originally in Japan. Guido had picked it for Akiko to give to her when he felt like it was time to do so. The Camellia Japonica consisted of pink petals, that had a circular pattern, and a small, yellow pollen bed. The pink flower glowed pink as Akiko touched it. Guido, along with the others, climbed down the Monument and after a few moments, Akiko did the same and everyone started on their way near Croatia as the night sky followed them. Hours later, the moon was full and high above the sky. While Guido and Ciccio playfully chased Luca, Alberto, Bella, and Astro, Akiko looked up at the well-rounded, full Moon. As the Moon illuminated Akiko's eyes, Akiko smiled as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. About five hours later, everyone surrounded Akiko as Akiko played a sample of a song called 'Saturn' by 'Sleeping at Last' on her Violin. She played her Violin as the Musical Positive Energy manipulated a tree that had a tall stump, long branches, and leaves that were Akiko's favorite color, pink, the color that represented love, hope, kindness, playfulness, and passion. The glow of the tree was the same color. As the branches gently swayed to the beat of the music, one of the branches carefully picked up Luca and Alberto. Another branch picked up Bella, and a third branch picked up Astro, and a fourth branch picked up Ciccio and Guido. The group was very careful not to fall out of the tree. As a branch picked up Luca and Alberto, Alberto was held by one of his feet as he dangled upside down. He swung back and forth until he was upside right as Luca and Akiko laughed. As Akiko finished the melody, she smiled, looking into Alberto's emerald green eyes. An hour later, everyone, except Guido, laid down, under the tree, and looked up at the billions, if not, trillions, of stars. "Guys, we really need to get another early headstart if we're gonna make it to Austria." Guido said.
"Well, Ercole and his team are nowhere near here." Akiko replied.
"For now. Which is exactly why we need to go, before they catch up and then something bad hapPENS!" Guido was startled while talking by Akiko pulling him near the tree so he could rest. "Better?" Akiko laughed. Guido adjusted as he laid on his back with both hands under his head. He smiled. "Aha, yeah." Guido replied. Alberto's emerald green eyes shimmered with the glistening stars. The Sea Boy smiled with sincere happiness. "I always hoped to spend a night or two like this. Out in the open, taking in a breeze, and sleeping under the fish." Alberto said. Akiko looked at Alberto. "The fish?" She asked.
"Yeah, Alberto and I like to call the stars 'fish'." Luca explained.
"Oh, that's cute." Akiko said in a sincere tone.
"What's gonna happen? You know, when Luca and Alberto get back to Portorosso, will you guys still wanna hang out?" Astro asked. Bella put a hand on Astro's shoulder for support. "Of course!" Akiko replied. As everyone looked up at the 'fish', the group fell asleep about half an hour later.
