June 15, 20xx 10:45 A.M Saturday

"Ugh, I made it!" Tsuna said, tired and sweaty from walking, wearing a cap, sunglasses and carrying a bag. Tsuna wiped his sweat with his shirt then got his water bottle to drink.

After Tsuna finished, he put the water bottle back to his bag. He then looked amazed at the beautiful beach of Sperlonga and seeing from afar, the sandy beaches with many seat umbrellas.

The people are having fun with their family and friends, playing games, eating, and taking naps. Few reporters are there with their camera men too. Tsuna was more amazed with the young surfers.

Even the foreigners are also joining in and trying their best to surf in the famous waves just to plant their signature flags on top of the huge rock that is almost near the island but they keep on falling from their board.

Tsuna even saw the huge rock that has already two old flags on top, and its sides has few flags also. "Wow, Nero san was right, every surfer comes here to do that" Tsuna thought as he was looking at the whole beach.

Flashback/one hour and forty-five minutes later

"I know you're supposed to be working here at 8 A.M. today but me and Felicia are giving you a day off." Tsuna was puzzled at what his boss, Nealon said while he was grinning.

"W-What? Really! But I just got here and what if there are lots of customers!" Tsuna said.

"You don't have to, me and Felicia have discussed and decided that we were giving you a day off. The reason for this is because today is the surfing season and that means there will only be few customers. Today is the day that Quello grande is coming." Nealon said as Tsuna tilted his head.

"Quello grande?" Tsuna asked.

"it means "The Big One", It is a famous gigantic wave that hits only once in every 24 years in Sperlonga, Terracina beach. People who lives in Sperlonga and tourists, who comes will not only be going to surf the big waves and have fun but they're also going to plant their flags on top of a huge rock while riding Quello grande." As Nealon said that, Tsuna was amazed.

"Isn't it dangerous for the surfers to ride the gigantic waves just to put their flags on top of the rock, isn't it that crazy for them to do those things?" Tsuna, concernedly asked while his boss disregard the question.

"Yes, they know that riding those waves are dangerous and crazy but the reason that they are doing this, is so that they can be like their famous Sperlonga surfers, Vittorino and Danito." Nealon said.

"Vittorino, Danito... who are they?" Tsuna asked.

"Well Vittorino and Danito are two greatest legendary surfers that rode Quello grande all the way to the top of the rock." Nealon explained while Tsuna nodded.

"I don't know about Vittorino story well but all I know that he was the first person to rode and plant his flag on top of the rock on that day. But for Danito, even though I don't know him well I've seen him riding the Quello grande and it was the greatest feat I've seen in my younger years." Nealon said as he made a small smile.

"Really, what happened?" Tsuna asked him.

Nealon suddenly leaned forward to him as his eyes was filled of excitement with a big smile. "Do you want to hear about it?"

"S-sure" Tsuna agreed anxiously with a sweat dropping in the side of his face. A minute later, Tsuna started listening to Nealon's past story.

"44 years ago, when I was a child, I came with my pop to Sperlonga beach for the weekends just to see who's going to be the second person to plant their flag on top of the rock. People from different cities came and showed up with their family to have fun, to see and cheer the surfers.",

After 25 minutes or so, people including me and pop are cheering for the surfers who are trying to plant their flags. Some of them gave up since they keep on falling from their surfboard because of the heavy waves. Others who didn't give up can only put their flags only in the side the rock. While they were competing, a huge tidal wave came which made the concerned lifeguards warned the people and surfers to head back quickly to higher ground for safety. When the competitors reached the shore, they went directly to the higher ground with the rest of the people. We all notice that there was but one surfer who stayed in the water, and that surfer was Danito.

A lot of people including my pop tried to warn him to come to the higher ground for it was too dangerous. Danito didn't listen to them and instead he went towards the tidal wave. We were all thinking that he's crazy, that he will get himself killed, but boy we were all wrong.

When the tidal wave came close to the rock, we all saw Danito rode the top of the wave. He managed to position himself close to the rock, and plant his flag on top of rock, next to Vittorino's."

"And that's how Danito became a surfer legend." Nealon said happily, finishing the story about what had happened that day.

Tsuna has mix feeling of being astounded and shocked by what he had heard. Suddenly Tsuna realize. "What about since then, did someone become the third legend surfer?" Tsuna questioned.

Nealon swayed his head. "No, no one had managed to put their flag on the rock but from what I heard about 24 years ago, on that day the first legendary surfer, Vittorino died of old age. Bless his soul. But I am hoping that today, someone will be able to conquer Quello Grande and be the third surfer legend." Nealon said as Tsuna's Hyper intuition is urging him to go there.

"Nealon-san, since you gave me a day off, may I go to Terracina because since you told me about what's going on there, I'm quite eager to see." Tsuna said.

Nealon nodded. "Sure go ahead. I know a man of your age should work but sometimes you should at least take a break for at least a day. So, don't worry, I'll just asked my daughter, Cita to give us hand in the shop since she has a week off from college." Nealon suggested as Tsuna thanked him and quickly headed out from the entrance door of the store. Suddenly Nealon remembered something and rushed out of the store.

"Oh, when you get back from Terracina please tell us who's the third... no wait, you know what, never mind, don't tell us. We'll just will see it in the live news from the T.V." Nealon said as he went back Inside his shop.

Flashback end

When Tsuna was back in his apartment, he packed a few things and after he finished, he took a taxi to Terracina beach which took an hour drive. When he arrived in Terracina, there was a total traffic. Instead of waiting for the traffic to clear, he paid the driver and decided to walk. It took him thirty minutes to walk, asking people for direction to the beach and he also bought a water bottle in the store. Which comes to this.

So as Tsuna was about to step on the sand. "Nosa-Chan, Isn't that Tsuna?" Tsuna turned his head on the right and saw Nosaru and Bluebell with their bags and surfboards.

Tsuna smiled and waved at them. "Hey kids."

Nosaru and Bluebell walked towards him. "Tsuna-San, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be working" Nosaru said as Bluebell jokingly gasped. "Is our Tsuna-Chan skipping work?" Bluebell teasingly said to Tsuna.

Tsuna twitched his eyebrow "Hey! I wasn't skipping, Nealon-San and Felicia-San gave me a day off and I heard from them about what's going on here in Terracina. So, I decided to go, relax and see who's going to be the third legend surfer." Tsuna said as he crossed his arms and turned his head away from them. Nosaru and Bluebell chuckled.

Tsuna turned to them and noticed two people are missing. Nosaru, Bluebell why Kyota and Zia-San aren't with you guys? Usually when something interesting happens, Kyota would come with you in interviewing some people and have fun. Zia-San would come also and watch over you guys since she's your manager and part of the Varia member. Did something happen?" Tsuna said with a worried look.

"Kyota is taking care of I-pin who got sick today. Zia-Chan is sick too," Bluebell said.

"Oh, so that's why they aren't here. Well I hope that I-pin and Zia-san will get better soon since they are being taken care by Federico-San and the Varia." Tsuna sigh in relief.

Bluebell and Nosaru looked at each other then they looked back at Tsuna. "Well about Nono's son and the Varia gang, they even got sick today including your ex guardians." Bluebell said as Tsuna was in shock.

"W-What, all of them are sick even X-Xanxus!? How did that happened?!" Tsuna shockingly asked.

"Do you remember two days ago, that Kyo-Chan told you while you're still at work that she's going out with us while there's a meeting between Vongola and the Varia gang." Nosaru stated.

"Yeah" Tsuna nodded slowly.

"Well...Chrome explained to Kyota that during that meeting two days ago, Mr. Shamal had the flu first but the guys didn't know until half of the meeting and then meeting got cancelled. For I-pin, she stated that Mr. Shamal accidentally sneeze on her." Nosaru explained

"Oh my gosh, how are they?!" Tsuna asked.

"Kyota told us that the doctor informed them that they're sick and they need some rest, drink their medicine and eat healthy, they will get better in no time. And besides her, Fuuta, Bianchi-san and Tetsuya-San are also taking care of them." Nosaru explained.

Bluebell step on the sand. "When I see that old perverted man next time, I will ask Byakuran-niisama to beat him in the face for making I-pin sick and making Kyo-Chan to take care of her." Bluebell declared as she started walking on the sandy beach while Nosaru followed her.

"I don't think Byakuran will do that to him." Nosaru told to her, while he and bluebell were walking in the sandy beach, Tsuna smile at them then looked at the sky "I hope everyone are all right" Tsuna thought in a worried expression.

Meanwhile in the Vongola HQ

"Achoo!" The sneezes were heard throughout the mansion. All the subordinates, maids and butlers were warned not to go near their Vongola Boss including his guardians and even poor I-pin. They were told of what happened so the subordinates were now avoiding their boss and his guardians to avoid being sick. But all the maids were currently avoiding Dr. Shamal, thinking that he's also sick. Though he's now fully recovered and crying that the maids aren't going near him.

Any way...

(In Federico's Room)

"Note to self, when you call the person who is sick for the meeting, let them explain first." Federico weakly said while he was laying down on his bed. Reborn smirked as he eyed Federico's laying figure, continuously cursing himself.

(Gokudera's Room)

"I should be with Federico-Sama, protecting and taking care of him but instead I got myself sick by that Idiot perverted doctor. I am really, deeply, one million percent sorry, Federico-sama, that I haven't noticed the flu until half of the meeting. I failed you! I'm not suited to be your right-hand man!" Sick Gokudera shouted, weakly while continuing to blame himself.

(Lambo's Room)

"I still don't feel getting better." Lambo said, not feeling like himself.

"I know Lambo, in a few days, you will get better in no time." Fuuta concernedly said, wearing a face mask while he was checking on Lambo.

(Yamamoto's Room)

"Hahaha! I thought Gokudera said that idiots can't get the flu." Yamamoto cheerfully said as he then suddenly sneezed again.

(Ryohie's Room)

"CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A GLASS OF WATER, I'M EXTREMEMLY THIRSTY!" Ryohie energetically demanded and soon afterworld he begins to cough hardly.

(Hibari's Room)

"Here's the tea that you requested, Kyoya-San." Tetsuya wearing a face mask, kindly said, as he gives the tea to Kyoya.

"Hn" Kyoya grunted as he drinks his tea. Kyoya's face showed no emotion that he's ill. He didn't say anything after being ill but inside, his pride was suffering like it was thrown in the trash or burned to the ground.

(Chrome's Room)

"Do you want anything, Chrome?" Bianchi asked, as she got the bowl from Chrome.

"No, I'm fine. Thank you, Bianchi." Chrome kindly rejected then laid down on her bed. Bianchi nodded and got out Chrome's room.

(I-pin's Room)

"All right I-pin, here's a soup for early lunch." As Kyota entered I-pin's bedroom, wearing also a facemask like Bianchi, Tetsuya and Fuuta. Kyota walked besides I-pin's bed and sat on the chair.

"Arigatou, Kyo-Neechan." I-pin thanked her while Kyota gave the bowl. As I-pin was eating, Kyota checked her temperature by her hand. While Kyota was doing that, her phone buzzed. Kyota then get her phone from her pants pocket. It was WhatsApp message from bluebell saying.

"Hey kyo-Chan!😁

Me and Nosa-Chan are already here in Terracina beach!

In a few minutes, we're going to interview the 👱👫👥!

Oh, by the way, Tsuna is also here in Terracina.

Since you're not here, it's our turn to look after him.

Don't worry well take good care of him. 😄"

As Kyota read Bluebell's mail, she texted back. "Roger that 🖒.'

Bluebell answered by sending a photo.

"Hn" Kyota grunted with a small smile when she looked at the photo of Bluebell and Tsuna. I-pin heads up from her food to looked at Kyota.

"What's going on, did something happen?" I-pin asked as Kyota looked at her.

"Oh, it's nothing, its only Bluebell texting me that she and Nosaru finally arrived already in Terracina beach. In a few minutes, they'll be interviewing the people." Kyota told I-pin but not the text about Tsuna being in Terracina. Then I-pin turned her head away from Kyota

"I'm really, sorry Kyo-Neechan. It's my fault for having the flu, If I didn't get sick you would be with Bluebell and Nosaru-Kun in that beach." I-Pin upsetly said as Kyota glanced at I-pin and noticed tears coming out from her eyes. Then she quickly gets a tissue from the tissue box and wipes the tears of I-pin.

"Hey I-pin don't cry. It's not you and the people who got sick, I blame the pervert doctor. He sneezed at you." Kyota comfortingly said as she blames Shamal while I-pin chuckled.

"True" I-pin said.

(With Shamal)

"Achoo!" Shamal sneezed in the mansion's hallway. After he sneezed, he noticed the two maids moving away, trying to avoid him as they are thinking that he is still having the flu

"Wait my pretty ladies come back, I'm not sick anymore it's just only a sneeze!" Shamal desperately shouted while he was chasing them.
