"Rise and shine!" Giulia says as she and Alexis wake Alberto and Luca up.

"Morning boys! Time to start the day!" Alexis shouts happily.

*Timekip*

"Only two days till the race." Giulia says.

"What's this?" Alberto asks as Alexis pours him and Luca a dark looking drink.

"Espresso." Giulia says as the boys give confused looks.

"Coffee?" Alexis asks before the boys try the drinks.

"Mhmm." The boys say as they quickly drink down the espresso.

*Timeskip*

"You can do it Luca!" Giulia shouts as the group is riding on the bike.

"That's it! Keep- uh where are we going?" Alexis asks as Luca goes off the path.

"Uh… A shortcut." Luca says.

"Steeper. Rough terrain… I like it. Why aren't you training?" Giulia asks.

"I'm always training." Alberto says as he keeps eating.

"Timeskip*

"Amazing." Alexis says as the group comes to a stop.

"Bravo Luca. That was your fastest yet. Ooh guys look! That's the train to Genova." Giulia says as the group stops at the top of a hill and sees the train in the distance.

"That goes to your school?" Luca asks curiously.

"Yeah. That's the way to her school alright. I don't go though." Alexis says.

"I was wondering actually is your school open to everyone?" Luca asks curiously.

"Well it costs a little money but I guess." Giulia says.

"Great. Thank you girls for showing us the boring thing that takes us to the terrible place. Now can we focus on what matters? If we lose this race we're not going anywhere." Alberto says annoyedly.

"Santa mozzarella. The downhill." Luca says as he goes toward the hill.

"It's okay Luca. Just breath." Alexis says.

"I know it looks scary. But here's what you need to know-" Giulia then gets cut off by Alberto.

"Would you stop bossing him around?" Alberto asks angrily.

"Alberto what is the matter with you?" Alexis asks annoyedly.

"I'm his friend. I know what he needs." Alberto says.

"Oh yeah? Well then what does he need?" Giulia asks.

"Me. We'll just ride it like we did on the island. Together." Alberto says as he gets on the bike and goes down the hill with Luca.

"Luca! Alberto!" Alexis shouts as she and Giulia run down the hill after the two boys.

*Timeskip*

"You're alive!" Giulia shouts as she and Alexis find Luca and Alberto by the water.

"Thank heavens you're alright!" Alexis says in relief.

"Hey! You're never allowed on my bike again. Stick to food big guy." Giulia says as Alberto growls slightly.

"Is something wrong? What's wrong?" Alexis asks curiously.

"Nothing. Let's just get back to training." Alberto says annoyedly.

"Actually we have something to ask you. We were wondering if we could come with you to your school?" Luca asks curiously.

"Santo pecorino! That's the best idea ever! Yes! Of course!" Giulia says excitedly.

"Uh Giulia your school does it take all kinds of people? I mean what if some of them were not human?" Alberto asks as the others look at him.

"Alberto…" Luca says annoyedly.

"What if some were oh I don't know sea monsters?" Alberto asks.

"Sea monsters?" Alexis asks.

"I doubt your school would even accept sea monsters right?" Alberto asks as he goes toward the water.

"Ah that's a weird joke Alberto." Luca says angrily.

"Yeah. I know it's kinda hard to imagine. So let me just show you!" Alberto shouts.

"No!" Luca shouts before Alberto gets into the water and emerges as a sea monster much to Alexis and Giulia's shock.

"Alberto?" Alexis asks in shock.

"Help! Don't hurt us!" Giulia shouts.

"See? I knew this would-" Alberto then gets cut off by Luca.

"Sea monster!" Luca shouts as Alberto gives a hurt look before people arrive causing Alberto to reluctantly flee.
