I slowly wake up in our(me and Lincoln) hotel room in Italy, only to see bitter glares being given at me by several of Lincoln's old and "new" friends, terrifying me into screaming and hiding in the blanket, only for them to claw it downwards, leaving me to deal with those angry stares being given to me by Liam, Ronnie Anne, Stella, Sid, Mollie and Jordan on the left, Clyde, Zach, Andrew, Kat, Jenny(Brown QT) and Joy on the right, and Cookie, Artie, Hassan and Rusty in the center. Here's my idea for the audio, which Wattpad won't put in recordings of.

Me: *makes soft wake-up noises, then notices them* Ahh! Ahh! *hides under the blanket for half a second, only for some of them to pull it down* Ah! Uh! Uhhh... Uhhhh... Uh... Uhhh... Uhhhhhh... *says sheepishly* Caio?

Lincoln: *wakes up with a yawn* Good morning, Ka- *looks and sees the bitter people* Uhhh. What's going on here?

Me: *whispering to him* What does it look like here?! A lot of people I didn't allow to join us are bitter towards me!

Lincoln: *knowing my reason for keeping them out* And many of them are my friends.

Jenny: That's right, Lincoln.

Joy: Actually, would you mind staying out of this? We have a huge bone to pick with Kaden.

Everyone starts glaring at me again.

Cookie: Yeah! You got some nerve not letting us come with you guys.

Rusty: Real smooth, Kaden. Real smooth.

Me: No! Guys! You don't understand! *mouths to Lincoln in the hopes that they don't know what I'm doing* You're involved in this is your decision and yours alone.

Liam: Oh no! You are NOT getting Lincoln in this nor are you gonna get out of things THIS time, Kaden!

These guys are REALLY irked at me.

Me: Du-! *speaks in a sort of high tone out of stress* But I wasn't even making a sound! *gets a wee bit lower* YOU CAN'T HAVE KNOWN WHAT I WAS SAYING!

Stella: Unless we're familiar with the likelihood of you doing that.

Jordan: Just why did you have to keep Lincoln and us away from each other?

She and everyone else start lashing out at me for this, with me saying phrases like "Now guys, let's talk about this!" and similar phrases to calm everyone down, and hope they could hear me out. The pressure would still result in Lincoln yelling...

Lincoln: *shouting* QUIET!

We all stop and look at Lincoln.

Lincoln: Guys, two things. One, Kaden told me his reasons for why he's done what he did. And two, you guys are gonna wake up the other guests.

Everyone: !

Lincoln: Now, just stop and hear him out.

Everyone looks at each other, though they somewhat agree to listen.

Me: Although we should talk about it at breakfast.

Some stomachs are seen/heard growling, and they agree to let me and Lincoln get ready while waiting for us outside. I would shower and get cleaned without stalling anyone, and Lincoln and I would join the rest and find a good place in Rome for breakfast, me having done a currency conversion to Euros upon first landing in Italy, a member of the Eurozone.

And somewhere in Italy, we find a place for some breakfast.

Artie: So, Kaden...

Me: Ain't it obvious what you're gonna ask me?

Artie: ?

Rusty(annoyed): Why have you allowed Lincoln to come to Italy, but not any of us?

Me: As Lincoln said, I had a good reason. *turns to Kat* Kat, do you remember our encounter with Chandler?

Kat: I do.

Me: And were any of you guys at the Monterey Bay Aquarium when Lincoln and I were being chased and shot at?

Liam: I was.

Clyde: Me too.

Stella: So was I.

Jordan: Me as well.

Zach, Hassan, Kat, Jenny, Ronnie Anne, and Sid were also there.

Me: Those people aren't gonna stop until Lincoln is dead. Those people, the Visalia Mafia if I may call them that, are basically gonna be in many places that Lincoln and I might be.

Lincoln: Kaden wants the both of us to keep a low profile.

Me: Which you guys, and Lincoln's sisters, will unknowingly and unintentionally make it harder to do. You and they, I worry, might end up doing things to get their attention, which is the last thing I want.

They react with some looks and maybe a few gestures that seem like a perfect response to me getting that idea.

Rusty: Relax, Kaden. They didn't follow you here. So you're safe. And you could've included us as well. We'd be there for Lincoln no matter what.

Me: Come on, Rusty. As you all should know, they're not the only mafia that exists. There are countless others the world over. Some are of Italian heritage, others of Irish, the list can go on. But keep Americans off the list as there is no such thing as American ethnicity. Still, the first mafia group that formed in the early 19th century continues to exist under its original name Cosa Nostra. And there are other mafias/syndicates in Italy. I don't want them involved in this whole fiasco. It's already bad enough Lincoln and I are dealing with just the local one.

Lincoln(a bit afraid): I actually learned it myself from him. From him showing me this movie called "The Irishman" and that trip to the aquarium, I'm actually afraid for my life now. Although since that bus ride with Kat, I've been hoping to reunite with my original family.

Me: So have I, but not as long as we're gonna be hunted down like quarries.

Mollie: You're worrying too much, Kaden. What's the worst that could happen?

Me: You don't know gangster stuff like me and Lincoln do, or like Martin Scorsese and the Coppolas do. And Lincoln, you've known for a very long time that you're a cartoon. Am I right?

Lincoln: Of course.

Liam: Clyde and I have known that ourselves.

Me: However, when Chris Savino and his former comrades created you guys, they never gave you immunity to death or even the ability and right to cheat death. You can die.

Lincoln: I don't want any of you guys to die. Or any of my sisters.

Me: Or your parents.

Lincoln: And especially not at their hands.

Me: And to contradict your earlier statement, Rusty, none of you are gonna always be there alongside Lincoln.

Rusty: What are you talking about?

Liam: I once told Lincoln that we'd be tighter than a bunch of geese.

Lincoln: Then I guess our first few days of middle school proved you wrong.

Rusty: That's different.

Me: Is it, Russell?

Rusty gets surprised at me calling him that?

Me: I have a philosophy that Lynn and I could agree on regarding Lincoln.

Lincoln: ?!

Me: The philosophy is that not all individual beings are gonna be accompanied forever. In fact, knowing you guys, you won't always be together forever.

Lincoln: I learned that from Lynn before that cabin trip.

Stella: Where we were learning to enjoy new things?

Jordan: With different people?

Lincoln: *nods* I might've felt left out during that trip, but despite my wrongdoings and us sorting things out, I still learned some things.

Liam: Like my dislike for hiking?

Me: And that not everyone's gonna always have time for each other, being with other people and doing different things. You should've kept that in mind when you guys entered middle school.

Rusty: I said that was different!

Me: No it's not! You may think two things are completely different, but they might actually have similarities to each other!

Lincoln: I agree with Kaden and likely Lynn on this.

Clyde: *gasps, then grabs a paper bag to breathe in*

Me: Some friends of him you are, even for sabotaging that magic act of his to "protect his reputation". *gets up and leave with money to pay for my meal to-go*

Lincoln: We're all gonna have to learn to do things ourselves someday, guys. *joins me in leaving*

They're all aghast at what has transpired, and rack their brains to put things together, in regards to the events of FiDP, Schooled, and Saved by the Spell.
