It's was June 1th it's was the last day of school and because of that Luca can finally get to see Alberto again, both Luca and Giulia were getting ready for school.
"Come on Luca, we're gonna be late you don't want to miss your last day of school do you!?" said Giulia while Luca quickly get out of bed and put on his uniform, they went downstairs as Giulia's mother Abagail was making their breakfast. She sees the kids were eating really fast.
"Woah, woah, woah slow down you two." She stopped them. "Hehe sorry Ms. Marcovaldo, we're just so excited because it's the last day of school and we're going to see everyone back from Portorosso!" Said Luca as he keeps on eating. "Oh that's reminds me, did you let dad know that we're coming later on in the afternoon?" "Yes but there's one problem." They both stop eating as they started to get worried. "You see both me and your decided that we are moving together." "Wait does that means..." "Hehe yes! We're all moving back to Portorosso!" Both Luca and Giulia jump with joy "Oh thank you mama! Your the best! We have got to tell Alberto the good news!" They were about to reach for the phone but they were stop. "Wait, your father hasn't told your brother yet so we have to keep it surprised." "Okay, but wait what about school?" "That you don't have to be worried about, since your graduate for elementary school your going to be in middle school over there, same goes for you Luca." They nodded "Alright you two, you better get going or else your gonna be late." "Okay mom, love you!" "Love you too honey." "Bye Marcovaldo!" "Bye Luca, you two better be good!" They walk out of the front door as they begin to walk to school.
"So you excited to see everyone Luca?" "Heh yeah, but I'm really excited about we're moving to Portorosso, do you think they have other schools over there?" "I'm pretty sure they do." "I can't believe that we're moving back, man I can't wait to see Alberto's face when he sees us." He said with excitement on his face "You know ever since that you came to school you been talking about Alberto none stop, is there something going on with you two?" She gives him a sly smirk and start teasing him "Wh-what do you mean by that?" He started to get embarrasses "Oh come on Luca, don't think I know about you two." She smiles softly as Luca took a deep breath "Okay it's true...i kinda...shorta...like-like...Alberto" His face turning red "Aw that is amazing, I think that you two are cute together." "You really think so? You don't think that it's weird that two boys like me being...together?" "Are you kidding me? I don't think it's not weird at all plus you guys are perfect for each other. What makes you think that it's weird?" "The other day I over heard...Monica and her friends talking about two people who are the same gender shouldn't be together or they should get rid of them." He felt sadness as Giulia felt anger in her and then she stop him from walking as she put her hand on his shoulder "Luca you need to listen to me, you let anyone control who you love, this is your life not theirs you can be with whoever you love guy or girl don't matter. You are you and you should be proud for who you are." He smiles softly and started to cry a little "Come on we're going to be late!" They quickly run to the school.
As few hours past Luca and Giulia made it home to help Abigail to move stuff from the house. "Thanks for the help you two." She smiles as they finished with the last boxes "Of course mom, oh did you getting the train tickets?" "Yes I did." She handed them their tickets "So how do we get these stuff in the train?" Said Luca "Don't worry I talk to the train conductor and he got an empty space for our stuff to put in, plus we still have time left come on let's head to the train station." They nodded as they went to the train station. Later on they finished packing their stuff in the train "Okay that's the last one, we still got a few minutes left come on let's get something to eat. " They nodded as they went to the nearest dinner. "Have you talk to Mr Marcovaldo that we're coming?" Said Luca as he eats his food "Yes, and he said that hum and your family should meet us at the train station in a few hours until we get their." "But wait there's only two rooms, does that mean I have a share my room with Alberto?" "Well actually we got a new home with three bedrooms so that you both have your own rooms, plus your father own a business right underneath the house." "Really? That's amazing! But wait what about you Luca do you have to go back to the ocean?" "I'm not sure my parents hadn't told me the news yet so I have to wait and see." Few minutes gone by, they went to the train station and handed their train tickets to the train conductor. Both Luca and Giulia took one last look at the town as they finally say their goodbyes and then the train started to move and headed to Portorosso.
After a long ride from the train station, Luca slowly wakes up as he realized that he made it to Portorosso, he look closely and he sees his family and Massimo Giulia's dad.
"MOM, DAD, GRANDMA!!!" "PAPA!!!" They both run to their families and start hugging them "Oh my baby boy, I am so happy to be see you *gasps* oh my look how big you gotten, ooh and that hair it's nice on you." "Hehe mom please stop *laughing* your embarrassing me!" He started to laugh "Hehe I'm sorry honey but you know how much I miss you." She kisses him all over his face while he still laughing "So tell us, did you learn everything tell us how was school?" "Hehe yes dad, hey where's Alberto?" He said as he looks around "He's at work Luca, but don't worry he'll be home soon." Said Massimo as Luca smiles softly, and then he sees his wife who she smiles and cries "Abigail, how I miss your beautiful smile." "It's been so long since we see each other I miss you." They both smiles softly "Come on let's head back to the house." They nodded as they went back to their new home.
"Woah this is amazing Mr Marcovaldo." Said Luca "Thank you Luca, I am very happy that we finally started to new business." "What kind of business?" "I'm making my famous trenette al pesto to the whole town." Both Luca and Giulia smiles brightly "Wow that's amazing papa! Hey since mama is an artist she and sell her art or maybe put in the museum!" Said Giulia as she gets excited "Hehe I'll think about it, oh shoot that's reminds me we need to get our stuff from the train." "Here let us help you." She nodded as they went to the train station "Hey I'll be right back I'm gonna look for Alberto." "Okay don't be gone too long, we're having a party later." Said his mother as he nodded. As he left the house he begins to look for Alberto but he wasn't around, he asked everyone in town if they seen him but none of them didn't seen him so he look the one place where he used to go. He start swimming all the way across the island to his old home, he began to search everywhere but he couldn't find him but he then look at the top of the cliff to get a better view but he doesn't seen him but then.
"LUCA!!!!!" He heard a voice from a distance, he slowly turned around seeing Alberto running to him with a smile on his face as soon Luca was about to say his name they both fell off the cliff and land on the once where they were in sea monster form.
As they were underwater they both stare each other for a moment but they snap out of it and went to the surface. "Man you have no idea how happy that I am to see you!" He gives him a huge hug. "Um Alberto i-i can't breathe!" "Oh Hehe sorry about. When did you get here?" He said while he let's him go "Well we got here like a few minutes ago, by the way where you at the train station?" "Sorry I was busy cleaning up the place since I'm moving with my family." He continues cleaning "You know it's really amazing that they adopt you." "Heh yeah, and ever since that you left I told him about everything what happened with my real dad, so he decided to adopted me." He slowly smiles "I think it's wonderful that you finally got someone to look after you, and not only that you had a dad but you also have a mom and a sister who loves you." He smiles as they finally finished cleaning up. "Alright that's everything." He took a moment to look around to his old home "You okay Alberto?" "Yeah I'm okay, come on let's race over there." They started running to the cliff and jump into the water as they started swimming.
Later on they made it back to the house as everyone getting ready for the welcome home party. "Hey you two, what's took you boys so long?" Said Abigail "Sorry we um been busy." He smiles "Uh-huh, okay you two you better change into your party clothes." They nodded but then Luca stop his mother "Wait mom, did you have something to tell me?" "Should we tell him?" "Tell me what?" "Well you see Luca...it's took us a while to think about it and...we decided to stay here and move into the service." "Really? W-wow! That's incredible!!!" He hug both of his parents "But wait what about the ocean, you guys been living their for so long are you really sure that you guys wanted to do this?" "Yes sweetie, we've been living in the ocean and now it's time to move on and learn new things like how you learn things." He smiles and hugs his parents again.
