The Princess and the Sea Monster: A Luca/Sofia the First fanfiction

Chapter 8: A Night with Alberto

Amber sat out in the treehouse as Luca, Giulia, Alberto, and Massimo ate their dinner. She looked over the beautiful ocean sea and thought about her friends and family. Amber suddenly got scared by the sound of Alberto and turned around quickly, facing Alberto. "Sorry, didn't mean to frighten you again," Alberto said as he climbed up and sat in the treehouse. "Here I brought you some spaghetti. It's freshly made," Alberto offered handing Amber the spaghetti with tomato sauce on it. Amber was starving so she gobbled up the spaghetti really fast. Alberto chuckled at Amber then looked away, blushing. Amber dapped her mouth with the napkin. "Wow, you were really hungry," Alberto told her. Amber nodded then looked out at the ocean again as Alberto sat next to her. "Beautiful view isn't it?" Alberto asked Amber. Amber fake smiled and nodded. Amber sighed while looking out at the ocean. Alberto could see Amber was troubled. "Look I'm sorry about the whole sea monster thing. It's not everyday that someone I have never met has seen a sea monster," Alberto sighed. Amber looked over at Alberto and felt bad for him. "Well it's not easy being a royal princess either," she chuckled. Alberto was about to say something then he was shocked. "You're a princess? Like royalty?" he asked as Amber nodded. "I was born to be a princess in the kingdom of Enchancia and to be rightful heir to the throne, but now I will never get the chance since I can't find my family." Amber said and started to cry. Alberto sighed. He knew curiosity would lead to consequences. Now he took a princess and her family must be missing her! Alberto still felt terrible but he wanted to help Amber get back home. "Hey I know! Maybe I can help you get back home! I'm sure Massimo won't mind. I'm kind of an expert at things," Alberto chuckled. Amber wiped away a tear. "You think you can help me?" Amber asked. "Think?! I know I can!" Alberto said. "Trust me, your family must be worried about you so I'm here to help," Alberto stood tall and proud. Amber gave him a big hug. "Thank you Alberto," she said. "Sure, no problem," Alberto said. They separated their hug and blushed at each other. "Hey, uh, I never caught your name," Alberto rubbed the back of his head. "It's Princess Amber," she said. "That's a great name," Alberto said. "You sure you're okay up here?" Alberto asked. "I'll be fine," Amber said. "Goodnight princess," Alberto said and climbed down the treehouse. Amber giggled then looked out at the ocean when Alberto left. As Alberto went back to his room, he heard singing coming from the treehouse:

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back, I want you back
My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I had, you're all I had
At night, when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Oh-oh
I'm feeling like I'm famous, the talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad
But they don't know what I know
'Cause when the sun goes down, someone's talking back
Yeah, they're talking back, oh
At night, when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Do you ever hear me calling?
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
'Cause every night, I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?
Oh-oh
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away

Amber was humming when she laid down, and fell asleep. Alberto, who was still awake, was watching Amber sleep. She sleeps just like an angel. Am I crushing on her? Is this what love feels like? Alberto thought. He closed his window, sitting on his bed, looking out at the moon. That's when he started to sing:

Ooh, whoa, whoa
Ooh, whoa
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside, it was a rush
What a rush (what a rush)
'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much
Just too much (just too much)
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You've got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just a perfect crush?
Do you catch your breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way I do?
'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away, yeah, yeah, yeah
Goin' away, yeah, yeah, yeah
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hangin', spendin' time girl
Are we just friends? Is there more?
Is there more? (Is there more?)
See, it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever
Forever
Do you ever think, when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just a perfect crush?
Do you catch your breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way I do?
'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away, yeah, yeah, yeah
Goin' away, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why do I keep running from the truth? (Why do I keep running?)
All I ever think about is you (all I ever think about)
You've got my hypnotized (hypnotized)
So mesmerized (mesmerized)
And I just got to know
Do you ever think (ever think), when you're all alone (all alone)
All that we could be, where this thing could go? (Go)
Am I crazy or falling in love? (Crazy)
Is it real or just a perfect crush? (Perfect crush)
Do you catch your breath when I look at you? (Yeah, yeah)
Are you holding back, like the way I do?
'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away (whoa)
But I know this crush ain't goin' away, yeah, yeah, yeah
(This crush ain't) goin' away, yeah, yeah, yeah (goin' away)
Goin' away, yeah, yeah, yeah (do you ever think, when you're all alone)
(All that we could be, where this thing could go?)
Goin' away, yeah, yeah, yeah (do you catch your breath when I look at you?)
(Are you holding back, like the way I do?)
Goin' away, yeah, yeah, yeah (do you ever think, when you're all alone)
(All that we could be, where this thing could go?)

Alberto yawned and then went to sleep, dreaming about Amber. What they didn't know was someone was listening to their conversation and tiptoed away quietly.
