About five years has passed since Rosetta's sudden departure. Dino has just inherited his title as boss and during the celebration following the ceremony, he searches for his friend expecting her to be there, but will she?
"Hmm…I'm pretty sure I sent her an invitation…" Dino thought anxiously while looking around. After scanning the area and seeing only his men around he sighed. "Where could she be…?"
"Looking for someone, Cavallone?" A male asked snarkily from nearby.
He turned to face the one who'd addressed him and immediately rebutted with, "Emilio…I don't recall inviting you."
The dark haired male smirked in response, staring straight at his blonde rival who stood as tall as him. He looked more groomed compared to the Cavallone and his grown out straw looking hair, with the left part of his hair slicked back and the right hanging straight and loose. He wore a dark warm grey suit and was holding a medium sized black gift bag.
"Technically you did send me an invitation," Emilio commented slyly.
"One meant for Rosetta. I sent it to you so you could send it to her." Dino added stiffly. "I'm guessing the reason you're here instead of her is that she couldn't make it after all…"
"Yep. I had no desire to do this but she's my boss so…"
"So…you're her errand boy." The Cavallone boss concluded with a victorious smirk.
The dark haired male flinched in response before his face turned red with chagrin and anger. "No! I'll have you know I'm a well respected member of the Mezzanotte! Rosetta has entrusted me with a most important task."
"Which is being the counselor at our old school if I remember correctly." Dino stated with a more serious tone, jabs aside. "But why not the Principal or Vice Principal?"
Emilio sighed with exhaustion. "Well, my father insists that he won't give up his position until he dies and ultimately we decided I'm not ready for such responsibilities so I've been working my way up to it. I quite enjoy being the counselor though."
The Cavallone boss smirked once more. "I guess it may take some time for you to catch up then, with Squalo being right hand man as well as Rosetta and I being bosses now."
"Just stop with your jabs at me and take this already!" His dark haired rival growled while shoving the gift bag he had into Dino's hands.
Dino looked down at it curiously. "This is for me?"
"Obviously. It's from Rosetta if you didn't figure it out already." Emilio explained. "Now that my job is done I'm out." He then left with a single wave.
The Cavallone boss then opened his gift, pulling out a tan colored parka with a black fur lined hood. A small card fell out of it and he picked it up.
It read, 'Dino, I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to your inheritance ceremony. Unfortunately I have to make you wait longer, as it may be a while yet before we meet again. As an apology and a congratulations I picked this coat I thought would suit you perfectly!'
He then gazed at the parka in his hand and couldn't help but smile, thinking he'd wear it proudly for his friend.
