*at giulia's house*

*alberto and giulia returned*

Massimo: Oh, there you are, I made your favorite, trenette al pesto

Massimo: Where's Bambina?

Alberto: Oh...she- she left signor marcovaldo

Massimo: Do you know where she went?

Alberto: No, But I don't think she wants anyone looking for her

Massimo: Maybe not, But just in case

*massimo leaves with Machiavelli to go find beatstar*

Alberto: Okay, okay well the- the two of us can still do the race

Alberto: You'll swim, you'll eat, you've done both before-

Giulia: Alberto i-

Alberto: and i'll do the ride! I- i mean, tha- that's allowed, right?

Giulia: Alberto, Alberto?

Alberto: Ye- yeah It should be fine, we're still okay

Giulia: Alberto! *splashes water onto alberto's hands*

Alberto: ah!

Giulia:...*sighs* 'sleeping under the fish' Now i get it!

Alberto: uhh okay i know this looks bad but-

Giulia: of all the places for a sea monster and an ali-human to visit, Portorosso?

Giulia: Have you seen this town? my father hunts sea monsters!

Giulia: Alberto you have to get out of here

Alberto: B- but i thought we were underdogs

Giulia: Do you think I want you to leave? this is the happiest i've *inhales deeply*

Giulia: Look, it's just not worth it

Alberto: You don't understand

Giulia: No, i don't, Risking your life for a Vespa?

Alberto: I made a commitment to bring her home, that's why we did all this...but it's over now...goodbye giulia...i'm sorry *walks out of giulia's house*

*At the shore*

*alberto looked over at his tower in the distance on the island and so he decided to go talk to beatstar*

*when he arrived at the island he noticed stuff strewn out all over the ground and the ladder knocked down, so he had to climb up the tower to get into the main room*

*as soon as alberto reached the main tower room, he noticed stuff was knocked off the shelves, scratch marks all over the wall, and bite marks on the shelves and he looked down and noticed her headband and necklace on the ground*

Beatstar: Why are you here?

Alberto: *turns around and sees beatstar sitting while holding her knees*

Alberto: *sighs* okay beatstar...i owe you an apology...i'm really sorry, i should have never done that...and i wish i could take it all back

Beatstar: yeah yeah whatever, now just leave me alone

*Beatstar walks off to a campfire she made at the top of the tower*

*alberto looks down and sees a paper with marks and picks it up*

*then he walks up the steps and sees beatstar*

Alberto: Beatstar?...What are these marks on this paper?
