Chapter 5
*When beatstar arrived at the human town she cast a spell to make her wings and horn invisible*
Beatstar: Okay now i just have to wait for alberto
Alberto: Actually i'm already here
*Beatstar yelps in surprise and turns around to see alberto*
Beatstar: Oh, phew! it's just you
Alberto: Who else? also what happened to your wings and horn?
Beatstar: Invisibility spell
*Alberto and beatstar peek from the other side of the wall*
Alberto: This will be a breeze, just don't get wet and don't let the spell wear off
Beatstar: Got it
*Alberto and Beatstar walk into the human town*
Beatstar: Huh...this actually looks...good
Alberto: Yeah i know, pretty cool right?
Beatstar: Yeah very
*suddenly they see someone driving in on a vespa the distance and they gasp*
Alberto: It's signor vespa!
Beatstar: Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh!
Police Officer: Mannaggia! Here we go
*the man on the vespa greets the town in italian with two of his minions following him holding up a long sandwich*
Priest: Oh mamma mia! Please, no more revving
Woman: *complains in italian*
???: Ciao! Ciao!
*then beatstar notices that he's driving towards them and so she pulls alberto out of the way*
???: Beep, beep! Pride of Portorosso coming through!
*finally he parks the vespa and sits at a table*
???: And now, who wants to watch me eat a big sandwich? Hmm?
*alberto and beatstar direct their eyes at the vespa*
Alberto (whispering): There it is! That's how we're gonna get you home!
*suddenly a ball rolled in front of beatstar*
Kid: Hey! little help?
*Beatstar stares at the ball confuzzledly before she kicks it and it strangely goes to the side*
Beatstar: Uhh that's not normal, is it?
*the ball lands on the vespa causing it to tilt*
???: *notices his vespa tilting and gasps and exclaims in worry*
*then one of his minions throws himself onto the ground to block the vespa from the ground*
Ercole (talking to his vespa): Oh, mamma mia! talk to ercole, are you hurt?
Ciccio: Well, my head kind of hurts-
Ercole: Not you ciccio! out of the way
*ciccio gets out from under the vespa*
Ercole (talking to his vespa): Oh, piccolina, if there is so much as a scratch...
*ercole sighs of relief*
Ercole: Someone got lucky today, hm? who got lucky?
*the group of kids point at beatstar and alberto*
Beatstar: Whoops...
Ercole: Mhm...Out-of-towners, eh? *walks over to them* let me welcome you *welcomes in italian and takes his wool sweater off around his neck and drops it into ciccio's hands* Ciccio?
*ciccio gasps and walks off to the side*
Ercole: I am delighted to meet you, Number One and Number Two; I love your stylish clothes! Where did you get them? A dead body? *laughs while ciccio and guido snickers* I'm kidding
Beatstar: Uhh-
Alberto: Look, Signor Vespa--
Ercole: Signor Vespa? *laughs* this guy funny, hmm? *laughs*
Ercole: I am Ercole Visconti! Five-time winner of the Portorosso Cup
Alberto: The portorosso what?
Ercole: The portorosso cup! *exclaims in italian*
Ercole: How do you think I paid for my beautiful Vespa?
*beatstar tilts her head to get a peek at the vespa*
Ercole: Hey
*beatstar gasps*
Ercole: stop looking, she is too beautiful for you
Beatstar: I, uh...well-
*ercole imitates beatstar mockingly before laughing*
Ercole: I love it, the little girl can't even get a word out
Ercole: Oof and she smells like behind the pescheria *scoffs*
Alberto: Hey, Watch it! she smells AMAZING!
*alberto told ercole as he stepped in front of her while beatstar blushes slightly*
Ercole: Sorry sorry, I'll make it up to her
Ercole: Ciccio? Guido?
*then ciccio and guido grab alberto and pull him away before ercole grabs beatstar by her hair and drags her to the fountain*
Beatstar: OW! h- hey! what are you doing?
Alberto: Beatstar!
Beatstar: Alberto!
Ercole: Ah, just a little bath, it's funny!
Beatstar: LET GO OF ME!
*ercole tries to dunk beatstar's head into the fountain but she begins to resist letting an animalistic growl slip from her throat*
Ercole: Huh?
???: Hey ercole! Basta!
*A red-headed girl rides in on a bike filled with fish*
*ercole lets go of beatstar and beatstar fixes her hair before hiding behind the cart and alberto goes beside her*
Ercole: Oh, look who's here; Spewlia *chuckles* Wow, That's how you're training for the race?
???: *points a fish at him and replies in italian* Your reign of terror is--
Ercole: 'Coming to an end' You mean like a year ago? when you quit in the middle of the race?
Ercole: Because you couldn't stop *fake gags* throwing up?
???: I didn't quit! they made me stop!
Ercole: I think that is worse *eyes beatstar and alberto* Now go away, I'm having fun with my new friends
*Beatstar hides behind alberto slightly while alberto glares at ercole*
???: They're coming with me!
*The red-headed girl turns to them*
???: Hop on, I could use the extra weight *blows raspberries at ercole while alberto and beatstar climb onto the back of the wagon and she pedals away with them*
Ercole: Fine, Go start a club, For losers!
*ciccio and guido laugh*
Fisherman: Maggiore, Another sighting! In the harbor this time
Police Officer: I know, We are setting up a reward.
Police Officer: Someone's gonna win a nice prize
Ercole: *gasps* Me! Me! I win the prizes! *slaps ciccio* CICCIO! get your daddy's harpoon! we're gonna catch a sea monster!
*meanwhile with the red-headed girl, beatstar and alberto*
???: Sto imbecille! thinks he can be a jerk 'cause he keeps winning the race, which he shouldn't even get to do anymore, 'cause he's too old and too much of a jerk!
???: *giggles sheepishly* You know, we underdogs have to look out for each other right?
Alberto:...What's under the dogs?
*beatstar and alberto slide off the wagon*
???: Underdogs, You know; kids who are different, dressed weird, or a little sweatier than average
Beatstar: Uhh...
???: Too much? too much
???: So, are you in town for the race?
Alberto and Beatstar:...
???: The Portorosso Cup?
Alberto and Beatstar:...*blink at the same time*
???:...Well good talk! I gotta deliver these, Always be training you know?
*then as the red-headed girl pedals away beatstar gasps*
Beatstar (whispering): Alberto, I got an idea! We should ask her about this Portorosso Cup race! that's how ercole said he got his Vespa
*meanwhile with the red-headed girl*
*she finished delivering fish to a customer when beatstar and alberto walk up to her*
Alberto: Hey uh, Spewlia?
Giulia: GIULIA! my name is giulia
Beatstar:...Right so we were kind of wondering, when you race in a cup...what do you get?
Giulia: Soldi, Prize money
Beatstar: Ohh
Giulia: Oookay then *pedals away*
*then before alberto could walk off beatstar got behind him and began pushing him to giulia's direction with her head*
Beatstar (whispering): No no! Keep going!
Alberto (whispering): What? why?
Beatstar (whispering): Ask her about the prize money!
Alberto (whispering): But that stuff is useless
Beatstar (whispering): Maybe that becomes a vespa, i dunno
Alberto (whispering): How does that-?
Beatstar (whispering): Would you just ask her already?!
Alberto (whispering): Fine, fine, fine jeez
*alberto and beatstar catch up to giulia*
Alberto: Hello again
Giulia: Ciao
Alberto: Can we turn the money into something else? something like...-
*beatstar closes up alberto's mouth and turns his head to a vespa*
Beatstar: That!
Giulia: Pfft no, But it could get you that *motions to a rusty and run-down vespa*
*Beatstar and alberto's eyes sparkle in fascination*
Beatstar: Trolly moly, it's so beautiful
Alberto: Yes we need it
*giulia begins to pedal away*
Alberto: Great, so we'll just win the race
*giulia upon hearing this, brakes in her tracks*
Giulia: You'll have to beat ercole
Alberto: Okay, so we'll beat Ercole
Giulia: Huh, really? *chuckles and gets off of her bike*
Giulia (talking to herself): Thinks he can beat ercole, this guy *chuckles*
Giulia: First of all, GET IN LINE!
*beatstar yelps as she accidentally jumps into alberto's arms*
Giulia: Every summer that JERK! makes my life MISERABLE! so no one's taking him down unless it's me!
*beatstar and alberto glance at each other awkwardly before she crawls off of him*
Giulia: Second this isn't any old race, It's an epic, grueling, traditional Italian triathlon
Giulia: Swimming, Cycling and eating pasta, so you'd need a teammate
Alberto: Well we'll figure it out, Thanks human girl *walks off while giulia pedals away in the opposite direction*
Beatstar: Ehh *walks after alberto and grabs his arm* alberto hey hey hold up! What if we join her team?
Giulia (in the distance): Grazie! Arrivederci!
Alberto: Hmm, better idea
*alberto and beatstar walk to giulia*
Alberto: Hey spew-...girl!
Giulia (exasperated): Santa mozzarella...
Alberto: Congratulations, you're joining our team!
Giulia: Ha! i race alone
*but before giulia could pedal farther one of the eagon's wheel get stuck in a gap and alberto and beatstar help her get unstuck*
Beatstar: Uhh y'know maybe we could be under the dogs too
Alberto: Hey, it's okay beatstar, she'd rather do the whole race alone again
Alberto: Maybe this time she won't throw up as much
Giulia: Uh- hang on...!
Giulia:...You wanna be on my team, eh? let's see what you got
*Beatstar climbs onto the bike but falls off*
Beatstar: I'm okay
Alberto: Alright, try jumping onto it
*beatstar jumps onto the bike but falls off again*
Alberto: No, no, no, you gotta show it you're the boss!
*Beatstar again climbs onto the bike and proceeds to try and wrestle with it only to fall off...again*
Giulia: *sighs exasperated* Santa mozzarella- eyes up!
Beatstar: What?
Giulia: Looking down is what's making you fall
Beatstar: Uhh...okay then *climbs back on the bike and starts to pedal without looking down*
Alberto: Soo can we be on the team?
Giulia: *replies in italian*
Giulia: Can you dodge obstacles?
Giulia (raspy): What if an old lady crosses your path?
*beatstar steers away*
Giulia: *suddenly appears beside beatstar causing her to yelp in surprise* Can you withstand passive-aggressive verbal assaults?
Giulia (imitating ercole): 'Nice bike, Number One and Number Two, I was kidding, Your bike is a disgrace' *imitates ercole's laugh*
*then giulia sets up a platform using wooden planks on the fountain*
Giulia: Finally, can you handle the course's fiendishly difficult terrain?
Beatstar: Ohh...crap *shakes head* Silenzio bruno *begins to pedal up onto the planks* eep! okay this doesn't seem too hard...*looks down* okay nevermind *falls off the bike and lands on the ground as the bike lands on top of her* I'm good! at least i think i am
*alberto goes over to get the bike off of beatstar*
Giulia: Hmm
*alberto gets the bike off of beatstar and she stands up dizzingly*
Giulia: Stop, *points at alberto* what about you? can you swim at least?
Alberto: Yeah i'm amaz... *trails off* ingly bad at swimming
Giulia: You can't swim, you can barely ride a bike *exclaims in italian* i mean where are you even from?
Alberto: She's not telling you her secrets! she's lost
Giulia: Lost? I dunno ragazza
Beatstar: Please? a storm pulled me from my home, i was torn from everything i love but if we win this race....i could get to go home
Alberto:...My life's great, i'm just helping her out
Beatstar: Just give us one more chance! I can do it please!
Giulia:...No, You want it just as bad as I do
Giulia: You have the hunger, that's the most important thing
Alberto: How 'bout she does both?
Beatstar: Wait what?
Giulia: Perfetto! You eat and bike and I swim
*beatstar and alberto chuckle*
Beatstar: That was easy!
Giulia: Underdogs?
Alberto and Beatstar: Underdogs!
Giulia: Great! now we just need the entry fee...from my dad
