It was a cold rainy night as Prosper looked out the window of Ida's house. He couldn't imagine how Scipio would be coping with his father. After he got changed into an adult, Scipio went back to the island. He found a piece of paper left from the Conte that had his new address written on it along with Scipio's name. So, Scipio got on his father's boat and left to find the Conte. As it turned out, they were able to fix it wih some glue and wood filler so Scipio begged to be turned into a kid again. They didn't see anything wrong with it so they let him ride it. And so he was a kid again. Now he went back to living with his father after they found him sleeping in the Stella because he didn't want to live at Ida's.

"Prosper?" Prosper turned around to see Bo standing behind him. He had gotten taller after they ran way about a year ago.Bo is now six and Prosper was now thirteen. Riccio and Mosca had moved back into Ida's after the police had found the empty warehouse in Castello that they were living in. Riccio made a fit about staying with Ida but he got used to it and even made friends at school. Same with Mosca who got moved up a grade for his excellent skills in Math and science. Prosper and Hornet are still friends and Prosper is afraid that it will stay that way but he thought it was enough...for now. They still never heard from Scipio.

"Prosper." Bo said again bringing Prosper back to present times. "Ida said we have to go to bed now because we have school tomorrow. He looked at the clock. 11:31! It was almost midnight. He would be sleeping through algebra class the next day. Bo left and went up the stairs to his room with his teddy bear dangling from his hand.

Prosper got up from the seat next to the window and turned off the light in the living room since nobody else was even awake. Then he followed Bo up the stairs and went into their room. Bo and Prosper slept in the same room since Bo was afraid of being alone in the dark. Their room was right next to Hornet's room. All the rooms had doors that lead to the next room. Bo was already in his bed, curled up in a ball and breathing slowly. He went to bed fast.

Before Prosper went to bed, he went over to the door that led to Hornet's room and opened it up to walk inside. He went over to Hornet's bed, kneeled down next to her, and listened to her even breathing. She was so cute when she slept. He got back up and went back to his room. Just as he was in the doorway, Hornet shot bolt up and mummbled something. She looked at Prosper with dazed eyes.

"Ida?" Hornet asked but before she could get a good view at who she was looking at, Prosper ran out of the room and closed the door behind him.Hornet just went back to sleep. Prosper stood with his back to the door for a minute before he went to his own bed. His face was flushed with red from embarrassment. He didn't want Hornet to see him.

He pulled the blanket up to his nose and began to fall asleep. tomorrow was a new day of school, but he wasn't really looking forward to it.t The only thing he was looking forward to was seeing Hornet's face tomorrow in the morning at breakfast.
