Two hearts, One ocean

Chapter 6

*at giulia's house*

Giulia (whispering): All right, just let me do the talking and act casual, he doesn't do well with fear

Beatstar (whispering): consider these lips *makes a zipper motion across her mouth* zipped shut

Giulia (whispering): good

Giulia: Hey, Papà! I brought some friends for dinner

Giulia: Is there enough room for four?

*before beatstar and alberto turned the corner they saw harpoons which nearly made beatstar yelp in fear before alberto slapped his hand over her mouth*

Beatstar (quietly while muffled): Sorry...

*alberto slowly took his hand off of her mouth*

*then when they turned the corner in the kitchen they saw a large man with only one arm*

Beatstar: Um...Hi

Alberto (whispering to beatstar):...What do you think he kills with those?

Massimo: *chops off a fish's head* Anything that swims

Massimo: Hai visto il giornale today?

Giulia: *sighs* That photo is a fake, Papà

*giulia shows beatstar and alberto a picture of the ocean with a sea monster silhouette that resembled alberto*

Giulia: Everyone in Portorosso pretends to believe in sea monsters

Massimo: Well, I'm not pretending

*massimo grabs the picture from giulia and stabs it into a cork-board with more sea monster related news, causing beatstar's wings to accidentally expose in pure terror*

Alberto: *notices beatstar's wings* ack!

*alberto grabs beatstar and pulls her onto the floor with him on top of her*

*beatstar and alberto stare at each other awkwardly as they blushed and they notice giulia's cat; Machiavelli grumbling at them*

*then alberto cocks his head to beatstar's wings and beatstar sets the spell back up and makes her wings invisible again*

*they sit up again chuckling nervously*

Beatstar: Slipped

Giulia:...eh

*giulia turns back around to help her father make dinner*

Beatstar: Phew

*beatstar and alberto smile at each other*

*Machiavelli growls at them until he climbs down*

Massimo: Dinner's ready

Massimo: Trenette al pesto

Massimo: Mangia *sits down*

*alberto grabs some pasta by a handful and throws it into his mouth and then chows it down while beatstar does the same while giulia looks at them a bit confused*

Massimo: Where did you two say you were from?

*Machiavelli grumbles as he rests on massimo's shoulder*

Giulia (nervously): They're uh, classmates from Genova; Alberto and...uhh Bambina!

Massimo: And what brings you to Portorosso?

Giulia: Oh uh funny you should ask, they came for the race

Massimo: The race?

Giulia: Yeah, uh you know what? Don't worry about it

Massimo: *scoffs* 'Don't worry about it'?

Giulia: Mm-hmm don' worry about it!

Massimo: *sighs* Giulietta, a word

Massimo: I don't want you doing the race again, you get so upset

Giulia: Papà per favore, i have a team now

Massimo: There's also the entry fee, money is tight

Giulia: I'll work double shifts at the pescheria, Whatever you need

Massimo: I can't sell what I don't have, What I need is more fish in my net

Beatstar: Uh excuse me, but we could help

Massimo: you know fish?

Alberto: Oh, we? We know lots of fish

Giulia: Can this face lose? *smiles at massimo with puppy dog eyes*

Massimo: *sighs heavily* You want to work? I'll put you to work

*beatstar, alberto and giulia laugh in celebration and giulia hugs her father but then Machiavelli goes into beatstar's face and growls at her*

Giulia: Machiavelli! *shushes Machiavelli* Don't you...!

*Machiavelli pounces beatstar's face and starts attacking her*
