*Later that night*

*Alberto was carrying some fishing stuff and a lantern and headed to Massimo's boat, unaware he was being followed*

*in the middle of the water*

*alberto was setting up the fishing equipment and then started the lantern when he noticed Machiavelli staring at him, causing him to yelp and fall in surprise and accidentally knock over the lantern*

Alberto: Machiavelli, how did you get here?

*Machiavelli meows at Alberto*

Alberto: He won't mind! Once he sees the big catch we bring in right? I'll make him proud and finally beatstar will feel acquainted with living far from home

*Machiavelli meows again but this time out of fear seeing a large fire behind Alberto*

Alberto: Uh 'meow' yourself...*sniffs fire and looks behind seeing the fire* The fire's leak- THE FIRE'S LEAKING!

*meanwhile*

*beatstar was looking around for Alberto*

Beatstar: Alberto! Alberto!...where is he at?

*Suddenly her ear twitched when she heard...Screaming? and panicked meows?*

*suddenly she recognized WHO were making the noises and her eyes shrunk in realization and rushed to the shore*

Beatstar: Alberto!

*Meanwhile*

*Alberto and Machiavelli managed to escape*

Beatstar: ALBERTO! *hugs him tightly* Are you okay?! are you and machiavelli hurt?!

Alberto: Don't worry, We're fine

*massimo rushed to the condition of his boat*

Alberto:...*turns to beatstar and puts Machiavelli down* Stay here...

*Alberto walks to massimo slowly*

Alberto: Massimo...

*massimo turns to alberto angrily before redirecting his attention to the boat*

*Alberto looked down sadly with his ear-fins drooped down, before he walks away upset, without muttering a word, with beatstar looking at him worriedly*

*Machiavelli meows and places his paw on her foot to as if he's telling her 'go to him...'*
