*At giulia's house*

Giulia (whispering): Alright, just let me do the talking and act casual

Giulia (whispering): He doesn't do well with fear

Giulia: *turns to her father* Hey, Papà! I brought some friends for dinner, is there enough for four?

*massimo turns to face them causing beatstar to let out a tiny squeak of nervousness*

Alberto: Whoa...what;s wrong with you stu--

*before alberto could finish what he was saying beatstar slapped her hand over his mouth while shushing him*

*A few minutes later*

*Alberto and beatstar were seated at the table looking up at some harpoons*

Alberto (whispering to beatstar):...What do you think he kills with those?

Massimo: *chops off a fish head* Anything that swims

Massimo: *hands giulia a picture of a newspaper clipping of a sea monster* Hai visto il giornale today?

Giulia: *groans and takes it* That photo is a fake papà

Giulia: Everyone in Portorosso pretends to believe in sea monsters 

*Giulia shows them the newspaper clipping and for some strange reason the silhouette looked strangely similar alberto*

Beatstar (thinking): Wait a sec...why does that picture remind me of alberto? i mean i get that its a sea monster but it looks...eerily similar to him, practically identical...

*Alberto's eyes widened as he darts his eyes around the room nervously*

Massimo: *snatches the photo from beatstar* Well I am not pretending!

*Massimo takes a knife and stabs the picture into a corkboard with other sea monster propaganda causing beatstar's wings to pop out out of shock*

*Alberto notices her wings and lets out a gasp and pulls her under the table making beatstar yelp in surprise*

*Under the table*

Beatstar (whispering): Alberto! what the heck was that for?

Alberto (whispering): Your wings are showing! I had to do something

Beatstar (whispering): Oh *uses her magic to make her wings invisible again* Done

*Back out from under the table*

*Alberto and beatstar pop back up with nervous smiles*

Beatstar: Uh slipped *chuckles nervously*

Giulia:...Eh *turns back around and helps massimo prepare dinner*

*beatstar and alberto sigh of relief quietly*

Beatstar (quietly): That was close...

*then they hear growling and they see massimo's cat, Machiavelli peeking up at them growling*

Massimo: Dinner's ready

Beatstar (thinking): And not another moment too soon

Massimo: Trenette al pesto

Massimo: Mangiamo *Sits down*

*Beatstar notices a fork and stares at it before chuckling nervously at massimo*

*then alberto slowly grabs a fist-ful of it before he throws it into his mouth before he begins scarfing it down before beatstar does the same*

Giulia: Okay?

Massimo: Where did you two say you were from?

Giulia (Nervously): They're, uh, classmates, from Genova, Beatstar and, uh

Beatstar (whispers to giulia): Alberto

Giulia: Alberto!

Massimo: And what brings you to Portorosso?

Giulia: Oh! uhh funny you should ask, they came for the race

Massimo: The race?

Giulia: Yeah! uh you know what? Don't worry about it

Massimo: *scoffs* 'Don't worry about it'?

Giulia: Mm-hmm *takes the empty dirty plates to the sink* don't worry about it

Massimo: *sighs* Giulietta, a word?

*Giulia hangs her head in defeat*

*a minute later*

Massimo: I don't want you doing the race again, you get so upset

Giulia: Papà, per favore, I have a teammate now

Massimo: There's also the entry fee, Money is tight

Giulia: I'll work double shifts at the pescheria, Whatever you need

Massimo: I can't sell what I don't have, What I need is more fish in my net

Massimo: Mi dispache Guilietta

Beatstar: Uhh excuse us? but uh maybe we could help

Massimo: You know fish?

Alberto: Oh we? we know lots of fish

Giulia: Can this face lose? *Look up at massimo with a sweet smile and puppy-dog eyes*

Massimo: *sighs heavily* You want to work? I'll put you to work

Beatstar: Really? Haha! yes!! *hugs alberto from the side as he and beatstar smile at each other*

Giulia: *laughs* Oh grazie papa! *hugs massimo*

*then beatstar lets go of alberto before she hears a yowling sound and turns to see machiavelli growling at her and getting closer to her*

Giulia: Machiavelli! *shushes* don't you!

*machiavelli gets ready to pounce*

Beatstar: Noo- hey don't test me I-- AH!

*machiavelli pounces her face causing her to fall backwards*

Giulia: Machiavelli!

*A few hours later*

*Beatstar, alberto and giulia exited the house with beatstar and alberto covered in scratches from machiavelli*

Giulia: I'm so sorry about the cat, I don't know what got into him

Beatstar: Oh no- It's fine! really! I just-

Beatstar (mutters under breath): Ah jeez, I think it nicked my jugular

Beatstar: *clears throat* So uhh anyway, we're gonna head back to, uh

Giulia: Oh! do you two need a place to stay?

*In giulia's treehouse*

Beatstar: *looking around* Sick

Giulia: Oops! *picks up her books* Sorry, this is my-

Alberto: Your hideout

Giulia: Huh yeah, My hideout

Giulia: Buonanotte you two

*giulia goes onto a tree branch that leads to her room and walks on it but slips and falls into her room*

Giulia (sheepishly): *chuckles* Uh slipped! Uh, see you in the morning

*giulia closes her bedroom window and turns out the lights before beatstar and alberto smile at each other and sigh of relief*

Beatstar: That was close

Alberto: I know, like how big was that dad human? that guys kills things for sure

*alberto said as he gave a pillow to beatstar and laid down with his head on another*

Beatstar: I thought we were gonna die like- 100 times 

Alberto: Hey relax, we're incredible at this humaning stuff

Beatstar: Hm, yeah guess you're right al...hey y'know i wanna say thanks for pulling under the table earlier, if giulia or massimo saw my wings, I would have been dead on the spot

Alberto: Ah hey it was nothing, 'cause the moment we get our vespa, you and I are outta here

*Beatstar chuckles before looking up at the stars*

Beatstar: *sighs softly* I can't wait...

*Then beatstar lets out a yawn before curling up with her head on the pillow and falls asleep*

*alberto takes notice of her sleeping form and smiles softly, then notices a blanket before he picks it up and drapes it over her small body*

Alberto: 'Night beatstar...

*alberto falls asleep with his back turned to her before beatstar extends one of her wings and drapes it over alberto as they fall into a deep slumber*
