(Annabella Pov)

"G-Giulia! I-i-im almost slipping!" I yell over to Giulia as she didn't listen but kept on paddling

Looking over her shoulders, we see two elderly ladies walking up hill and towards us

"H-hey! Ma'ams!! Look--!!" Before I can yell to them, they both move aside while contuing eating their ice creams

"Ciao Giulia." They both said to her

"Ciao!" She replies back as she continues on down the hill in full speed. As I was holding onto dear life, we finally make it at the bottom of the hill go were the fountain was

Hearing Giulia pant, she turns to me excitingly

"So! How was my record this time??" She turned around over her shoulder, I felt my soul leave my body by that exciting/life exoerince my whole life

"2-20 minutes...i think I'm gonna be sick.." I mumbled to her, as she cackled happily while i was left to deal with my heart attack

"Ha-ha! New personal best!!" She cheers before she looks over to coast and gasps

"Santo pecorino..." she whispers to herself, making me lift up my head over to what made her wow'd. It was as if Mr. Massimo was given the blessing by the fish gods.

A stack of fish on his boat as Alberto shoo's the seagulls away while Luca was standing on the side helping Mr. Massimo off the boat along side with his cat

We walk over to them happily seeing they've gone done great

"Your friends do know fish" Mr. Massimo tells us patting onto Albertos shoulder as a sign of gratitude

"Benissimo!" She cackled as I run up to both of them and giving them a high five

"You guys did awesome! Good job you two." I tell them as I look over to Alberto, he smiles softly as I felt my heart glee in pure happiness

"Let's go sign up!" Giulia tells us as Luca laughs happily as he grabs Albertos arms as Albertos grabs my hand. Feeling my heart burst out as my cheeks gone red, feeling Albertos warm hands hold mines. It's as if my whole world felt complete. After Mr. Massimo gave her the money to sign in, we hear off to the sign up booth

Making it there, we all stop to see a group of kids gather around to a lady who speaks in riddles and stories with having a fake mustache under her nose. Distracted by her announcement, Luca walks forward next to Giulia as I stand next to Alberto

"Fellow Portorossans! It is I, Giorgio Giorgioni! Slayer of sea monsters and beloved purveyor of pasta!" She proudly says

"Slayer of sea monsters?" Luca says to us as Alberto shruggs his shoulders not caring until Giulia explains to him as if it's nothing.

Feeling my hand a little sweaty, I look down onto my hand. Still, we had our hands together. I felt in my palm a scale, as if touching fish. Until I see some hint of shiny purple and blue in his hands, my eyebrow raise as I bring his hand closer to me.

Before I knew it, we both stare at eachother as he felt someone move his hand. We let go of eachother, feeling my cheeks gone red once more and look over to him

"S-sorry! I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfterble.." I whisper to him as he looks away

"N-no, it's fine. It's fine.." he whispers back as I look over his cheeks seeing a hint of pink as his eyes looked away from mines. Gulping to myself as I bring my hands to my chest, feeling my stomach go crazy but my heart stop
