"Where's Scip?" Bo cried once more.
"Come on, everybody!" Hornet exclaimed. "Let's find Scipio!"
The gang nodded their heads and ran off in search for Scipio, forgetting all about Serena. So she decided to follow the last person who ran off: Hornet.
"Scip!" Hornet cried out in the streets of Venice. "Scip!"
"Who's Scip?"
Hornet suddenly spun around and found Serena standing right next to her.
"Serena? What the heck are you doing here?"
"I want to find this 'Scip' everyone suddenly cried out and started looking for," answered the French girl.
"Well, we don't need your help!" Hornet snapped, and started walking away, but Serena grabbed onto her arm and said, "Well, Venice is such a big city. You need a lot of people to hunt to find just one person."
"How would some French girl know that? You're from France, okay? It's impossible to know everything about a country where you don't belong."
"Actually," Serena stated. "It is possible."
"What are you talking about? Of course it's not. Now leave me alone, or I'll…!"
"I've been reading about Italy when I went to school back in France," Serena explained. "and, I've done a dozen of projects and reports about Italy, including Venice."
"So? What's your point?"
"My point is that it is possible for one to have knowledge of a foreign country," Serena finished off.
Hornet glared at here. Hmph! Show off! she thought.
"You know what?" Hornet raised her voice. "I. Don't. Care. You French people think you know everything, 'cuz you're from Fancy France. But I would care less about people like you."
Then, she ran off, leaving the hopeful Serena behind.
