Ignazio:
 

"Senora Lupe, tu eres muy chistosa. I love all of your jokes, and had fun talking with you." I said giving a hug to Sheena's mom. She was smiling warmly and thanked me kindly.

"Tu tambien, Ignazio. Your very nice person, thanks for the new jokes you gave me too." She said looking up at me. I grinned. At that moment Piero walks next to me and tells me we should be going.

"Well, it was great pleasure in meeting all of you... And I hope you finish that 66 mustang, Manuel. I'd love to see that car when its ready." Piero said shaking Sheena's fathers hand. He grinned happily as he shook his hand.

"Yes, maybe on your guy's next concert I'll bring it and show you Piero." He said smiling. He then yawned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"We better go then, long ride back home... Let's let you guys get some shut eye too. It was an honor for meeting you and what you did for my daughter. I won't for get it, thank you." He said great fully. Me and Piero smiled at each other as they turned to leave. Then Kate walked over to Piero, she was having trouble keeping her eyes open as she said goodbye to Piero and me.

"Well, it was nice meeting you guys and thanks for the autographs, Piero. My grandma is going to love them. Also thanks for being so nice to my friend, I thought we were goners until you came along." She said earnestly. Piero blushed, and gave her a hug.

"It was no problem. We would have been goners if it were for you and Sheena buying us time for the show. By the way I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Sheena. Can you tell her I said thank you and goodbye for me and Ignazio?" He said kindly. Kate had fallen asleep for five seconds when she suddenly woke up.

"Oh! Sorry! I must of drifted off, I'm so tired its insane. Of course I'll tell her. She must of went to the car already with her parents." She said apologetic. She then waved good bye as she made her way out the entrance. Piero then turned to me and sighed.

"Long day huh, Ignazio? I'm exhausted... Voglio solo cadere nel Milo letto... E dormire tutto il giorno domani, amico." He said resting his hand on my shoulder. I smirked and patted his back as he turned to go inside the tour bus. As I made my way in, something caught my eye. I peered under the bus and saw a curious whiskery face peering back at me. At first I thought it was a big rat, but then I saw its long body and friendly face, and saw that it was just a ferret.

"Aww... Come here little guy. I won't hurt you." I coaxed it to come to me, it was hesitant at first but then scurried closer to me, that I could grab him. He was very docile as I held him, and yawned as I scratched his head.

"Huh, your a nice ferret aren't you? What are you doing out here in a parking lot, little guy." I cooed to him. His little beady eyes looking at me curiously. I smiled and decided to take him home, then an idea popped into my head. I looked up and saw Piero was still at the door of the tour bus, and I slowly walked up to him.

"Hey Piero... Meet my new little friend." I said lifting the ferret up to him. He then turned around confused and saw the ferret and let out a high pitched scream and jumped back. I then burst out laughing, as I watched the panic look in his eyes.

"Dio mio! È un tropo gigantesco! Ignazio! Stop laughing! Why on earth are you holding that thing?" He exclaimed turning red in the face.

I stopped laughing, and smirked contently as I pet the ferret.

"Just to mess with you Piero, I needed a good laugh before I went to bed. I'm sorry I scared you so bad, you screamed like a little girl." I said jokingly. He just scoffed and puffed up his collar offended.

"Very funny Ignazio. I did not scream like a little girl. Where did you get that thing anyway?" He said agitated. I frowned as I held the ferret.

"Its not a thing its a ferret, and I found it lost under the tour bus. He must of gotten abandoned or ran away. Can't we keep him Piero?" I begged. He stared at me in disbelief.

"Your kidding. You can't bring that animal with us in the bus. What if it attacks us and go's after us in our sleep?!" He cried. I then pouted and looked up at him with puppy dog eyes. He crossed his arms across his chest, as he refused to give in.

"Ignazio, stop doing that. Its not going help, you can not bring that ferret with us." He said sternly.  I continued to beg.

"Please?... Per favoro, amico? Look at how docile and sweet he is? He wouldn't hurt a fly." I coaxed. Piero gave me one last hard look and sighed.

"Fine. Just make sure he doesn't get into any of my stuff or runs around causing a catastrophe." He said grimly. I smiled happily, as I gave Piero a big bear hug.

"Grazie! You won't regret it Piero, he'll grow on you and you'll start to like him." I said brightly. He shook his head in distaste, as we walked inside, I then immediately started to look for somewhere to put the ferret. I then saw a large red bucket in the corner, and began to prep it for the ferret. I tore up some cardboard and newspaper and made some makeshift bedding and put a little bowl of water for him to drink. I then put him gently into the bucket. He then looked around studying his new habitat, he scratched at the walls of the bucket and then he just yawned and curled into a ball and fell asleep. Piero just stared at it confused.

"That's the strangest creature I've ever seen." He said as he turned around to go change.

I smirked, and slipped the bucket under my bed, so it wouldn't tip over when the bus moves to leave to the next concert.

I then grabbed my PJs from my bunk and started to change for bed. I yawned as I made my way to the bathroom, Piero was brushing his teeth at the sink. I slipped in to the small bathroom as I scooted over to the second sink to brush my teeth. I grabbed my tooth brush while Piero started to gargle mouth wash. After he was done he turned to me confused.

"Hey Ignazio, has Gianluca gone to bed already?" He asked me. I was still brushing my teeth, so I spit out the tooth paste and gargled some water to clear my mouth. I then thought a moment, it was true I didn't see Gianluca get into the bus.

"I don't know, Piero. I haven't seen him get in the bus." I said. He shook his head.

"No, he did. He went in to show the inside of the bus to Sheena, so he probably stayed inside after she left. He was as exhausted and tired as us, go check if he's asleep in his bed." Piero said running his fingers through his dark hair. I nodded and walked over to Gianluca bunk, his curtain was covering his bunk. Which usually meant that he was sleeping, but I pulled a crack to see if he was in there.

The first thing I see is him dead asleep and his back facing me. I smiled, and saw that he left the TV on in his bunk so I reached for the remote under his hand and turned it off. I then closed the curtain, and made my way to my bed. I then glanced over to Piero who was already taking off his shirt and pants to go to bed. He then slipped under the covers of his bed And was about to turn off the light when he looked over to me.

"Was he in there?" He asked me as he put on his eye mask. I slipped under the covers of my bed and turned to him.

"Yeah he was there. Dead asleep, he had left the TV on too. He was probably trying to wait for us but didn't make it. Poor GG..." I said smirking. Piero smirked and clapped his hands to turn off the lights.

"Aw, well buona notte Igny, and buona notte Gianlu." He said. I heard a light grumble from Gianluca's bunk in response. I chuckled, as I started to fall asleep.

"You too..." I yawned.

At some point in the night I heard Dan and the bus driver getting ready to start to drive the bus.

"How long until we get to las Vegas for the concert?" Dan asked dryly. I heard the engine start as we began to leave the parking lot.

"In a couple of hours, we should be there in the early after noon at the most." Our bus driver mike said coolly.

After that I drifted off back to sleep, I started to dream about ferrets chasing Piero around the place.

Even in my dreams I'm messing with Piero I thought to myself incoherently.
