Chapter 1,
The Cake Store
'Boy, I wish I could have some sweets,' Thought Riccio as he looked in the window of the Bakery. "Would you like one?" he is asked by a girl who looked about his age, but was obviously not an Italian. But her Italian was pretty good, although she didn't have the accent. She has dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.
"I said would you like a cake." The girl said breaking him out of his thoughts. "Yes please, by the way my name is Riccio."
"Hello Riccio my name is Rebecca; I'm from the United States. Which cake would you like?"
"That one," he pointed to a chocolate cream filled one was they walked into the store, "The United States, Where did you learn your Italian?"
"We had a program at school."
"Would you like to meet some of my friends?" He asked.
"Sure where do they live?"
"We all live together in the Stella." Riccio answered
"With your parents?"
"We are all Orphans or runaways," he answered as he stuffed the bought cake into his
mouth.
"You what? Really - why? maybe I can help you and you can all come home with me. When can I meet them?"
"Now."
As they walked to the STELLA he recounted the last year's events.
As Riccio knocked on the door the sun was setting behind the two teenagers, and Rebecca's white clothes were illuminated by the sun set. "What's the password?" Came Scipio's voice through the door.
"Cakes," Came Riccio's reply (They made the passwords simpler).
Then Scipio opened the door and stopped pushing his hair back midway, and stared. He stood stock still after his hand just dropped to the side. He stared at the girl and Mosca came up behind him. "What's the matter…?" Mosca started and stared.
Then Hornet came to the door and said. "What's the matter boy, Bo is beginning to worry, a new girl welcome, Scipio why don't you welcome her."
'Wow she's beautiful, who is she...?' "What" he answers mid thought?
"I said why you don't welcome her."
"Hi, I'm Rebecca" the girl says, and holds her hand out to Scipio.
"I'm Scipio, Welcome to the Star Palace." He grabs her hand and didn't release it.
