"And you have your lunch for the train?" Massimo asks as the group is sitting outside of the train.
"Sì." Giulia says.
"Sweater? If it gets cold?" Massimo asks.
"For the millionth time sì. I love you too Papà. Santa mozzarella we did it." Giulia says happily as she and Alexis look at the boys.
"Well Giulia can't wait to race next summer." Alberto says.
"Or we could just have fun. But in the mean time look out for my sister for me." Giulia says.
"Not a problem." Alberto says as Alexis smiles.
"Ciao Giulia." Luca says as Giulia gets on the train before Alexis goes over to Massimo.
"Dad? What are Luca's parents doing here?" Alexis asks as she sees Luca's parents.
"They're letting him go with Giulia." Massimo says as Alexis looks at him.
"What?" Alexis asks.
"Yes. It was Alberto's idea. He'll also be staying with us as well from now on." Massimo says.
"That's... that's amazing." Alexis says as she watches Luca talk with Alberto before going over hearing Luca wondering if Alberto is gonna be okay.
"Don't worry Luca. I'll look after Alberto while you're gone. Just do the same for me with Giulia." Alexis says as Luca looks at her and smiles causing her to blush.
"I will. Seriously what does that mean?" Luca asks hearing a voice speak in a different language.
"No idea. Go find out for me will ya? Go Luca! Go!" Alberto shouts as Luca gets on the train.
"Good luck Luca!" Alexis shouts as the train leaves.
*Timeskip 8 Months To When Luca And Giulia Are Back From School*
"Luca where are you taking me?" Alexis asks curiously as Luca is leading her by the hand.
"You'll see once we get there." Luca says as he smiles.
"Okay?" Alexis asks before Luca stops.
"We're here." Alberto says as Alexis looks around.
"Um.. where are we exactly?" Alexis asks seeing a secluded area next to the sea.
"A secluded area near that Alberto and I would come to sometimes." Luca says.
"Why here?" Alexis asks curiously.
"Well I wanted to see if you wanted to take a swim with me." Luca says as Alexis gives an alarmed look.
"What!? No way! I'm sorry Luca but you know I-" Alexis then gets cut off by Luca.
"Can't swim? I know. Trust me. It's why brought you out here. I was gonna see if you'd let me teach you. I may not know exactly how humans swim but I can at least help you try and learn and get used to the water." Luca says.
"I don't know.." Alexis says nervously as she looks at the water unsurely.
"How about this instead? I actually know something nearby under the water that's really beautiful. I think you would enjoy it. Will you trust me to take you down there? Don't worry. I won't let go of you for a minute and if you need air just tug on my arm or point to the surface. It's not far." Luca says reassuringly as he holds out his hand.
"Oh..." Alexis says nervously.
"I promise it'll be safe. Do you trust me?" Luca asks as Alexis nods.
"Of course. I trust you." Alexis says.
"Then take my hand." Luca says before Alexis takes his hand as the two go in the water and under it. After a short swim the two come across a beautiful area filled with coral and fish before Alexis begins tugging at Luca's arm as the two then go back up to the surface.
"Wow. I've never seen anything so beautiful. That was amazing." Alexis says as the two get on the shore.
"I thought you would like it. See? Water isn't so bad." Luca says triumphantly.
"Says the guy who lives in it. But yeah I guess you were right. Still not so keen the idea of actually trying to swim in it though." Alexis says.
"Actually... there's another reason I brought you out here with me." Luca says shyly while blushing.
"What is it?" Alexis asks curiously.
"Well.. I like you.. I mean I love you.. I guess I developed the feeling around the same time you did. Considering you basically told me you cared for me when you came to find me and Alberto on the island." Luca says as he smiles.
"You figured that out huh?" Alexis ask embarrassedly.
"Yeah... I don't know much about humans but it wasn't hard to see that. I'm just surprised you feel that way." Luca says as he smiles shyly.
"Of course I feel that way. I love you Luca." Alexis says as she smiles.
"Let me make it official then. Would you like to my girlfriend?" Luca asks curiously.
"Yes!" Alexis says happily before hugging Luca.
"Good. Now let's start trying to get you swimming." Luca says as Alexis tries to get away only for him to wrap an arm around her waist.
"Hold on! I didn't agree to that!" Alexis shouts in fear before Luca smiles and releases her.
"Worth a shot. But I will get you swimming with me eventually." Luca says confidently.
"Eventually maybe but not today." Alexis says causing Luca to chuckle.
"Fair enough. Come on. Let's go get some lunch. I'm starving." Luca says as he begins to head back with Alexis hand in hand.
