A/N: Hopefully, this chapter should turn out to be the longest.
"A lot has happened to me since I moved to Spain." Marina began. "I had decided to take up the violin, and in many people's eyes, I was quite good. As a result, my parents shipped me off on an airplane to America! To attend a prestigious public school in Maitland, Florida. That's where I met Will. It wasn't long until we realized, or, actually, I realized that I liked him as more than a friend. I was crushed whenever I would have to travel back to Spain during the summer, and even more so when I had to move back to Venice, even though I love it here. Will promised that he would meet me here. I had no idea he could have possibly come this soon. How on earth did you do it, Will?" She acquired, in thankful voice.
"I'm not sure. I just asked my parents if we could come here for a winter vacation, and to my surprise, they were very pleased with the idea. So now, I'm here, back with Marina, my first real crush."
Scipio seemed pleased with the idea of Marina and Will as a couple. They really were a good couple. They both used an abnormally proper way of speaking for their age. And they seemed to get a long very well, even though Scipio had only seen them together for roughly five minutes.
Marina got up and walked over to Will after a period of long silence. They embraced each other, with such care that many would have thought the two were brother and sister.
"Well, I have to be on my way you two. I'll keep in touch, or I'll try to." Said Scipio, as if he was hoping they would stop him.
Marina had apparently sensed this and replied back, "Oh, no you don't! You have a lot of explaining to do. It's best you get started."
Prosper rushed to put his clothes on. He and Hornet were running very late, and had no time to spare.
"Prosper, would you hurry up?! We don't have all day!" Hornet yelled form downstairs. She was ready to leave, and had been for some time, but Prosper hadn't gotten out of bed until five minutes ago.
"Just leave without me! I'll catch up!" Prosper yelled back. Bo was now assisting Prosper in tying his shoes, although he had no idea how to tie one. Once Prosper had gathered his schoolbooks, he noticed what Bo's handiwork had amounted to. A perfect bow, with 8 loops.
"Bo, how did you…" Started Prosper, but he had to stop to examine the phenomena more closely.
"It was easy I just took the strings and I tied them, then I tied them again, and then I tied them again. And then I tied them before I tied them the last time." Answered Bo, although he had just guessed at what Prosper's question would be.
"Bo, you're a genius." Said Prosper, as he rushed down the stairs and out the door without giving Bo's amazing talent another thought. He was just trying to catch up with Hornet.
"You rode on a magical carousel that made you grow older?" Asked Marina, with a completely skeptical look on her face. Will just stared at Scipio as if he were a nut-job.
"Yes, exactly." Scipio replied, as if his story were perfectly plausible.
"You're just too arrogant to admit that you grew 4 feet since I last saw you." Said Marina. "You're always like that. You always wanted to be an adult, but you couldn't even act like one most of the time."
"That's not true. In fact, I'm looking for the carousel so I can ride it again and become younger."
"Because you're a child on the inside, and you will be until you're married probably." Marina joked.
"I am not a child." Wined Scipio, in a childish voice.
"If you aren't a child, then why would you go and risk your life to find a stupid carousel to become a child?" Said Marina.
"Because." Replied Scipio.
"Because what?" Asked Marina.
"Because, I'm a child."
