—Back in Geneva, Italy—

The girls said their last goodbyes to Giulia's mother and head inside the train where they are off to Portorosso for the summer!

"Ciao Ragazza! Tell your pappa I love you!" Giulia giggled and placed her bags down next to her side while Y/n does the same.

They both look out the window seeing the beautiful view of the sea, knowing dearly they are living such a admirable place in the world.

((No joke...Italy is magnificent))

In your mind, you begin to feel very nervous to finally meet your friends brother...scared that he wouldn't like you due to your obsession of being a hard worker...or he's not interested in girls who are short and a little weird. You were more curious about him. But you tried to save it for later and just look out at the window, calming yourself down.

After a few hours, the train made a stop in the Portorosso train station, where Giulia sees her father hold up a sign with her name on it, and by his side is Machiavelli!

So you girls grabbed your stuff and head on out to give Massimo a big surprise hug.

"Ciao Giulia! Y/n, it's great to finally meet you." The big guy said showing a caring smile under his mustache. It made you feel safe.

"Say! Where's Alberto? Isn't he supposed to be here as well?" Giulia asked and you turned red from the name.

Suddenly Massimo showed a worried face. Looks like something is wrong from his expression...

"He hasn't been home since the end of his shift...I guessed he went out with Guido and Ciccio...I'm not sure..." Massimo said in a worried tone, even Machiavelli looked down, letting out a sad low meow.

"Aww...we'll I bet he went out for a swim! I'm jinxing it pappa." Giulia said while picking up her bags.

"Come on, pappa would make his famous Trenette El Pesto, trust me you'll love it!"

You nodded and grabbed your bags then followed the two back to their home, which was a very small home. You didn't mind, plus it seems comforting and cozy!

Massimo held the door open while you and Giulia enter the place, showing you her bedroom. It was small yet cozy! So you placed your bag down and began to pull your stuff out.

"I'll unpack later, I'm gonna help pappa with dinner, you make yourself at home!" She gave you a big hug and head back down stairs leaving you in her room.

You wondered about the room, seeing so many posters of space and a few photos by the bed frame.

You took a closer look to see Giulia and two boys besides her. She told you all about Luca and Alberto...but you finally go to see what they actually looked like...You would clearly tell which was Alberto...you were surprised on how handsome he really is. It made you blush more just by looking at the photo.

"So this is him..." you said to yourself while slowly gazing into those stunning green eyes and caring smile... now your beginning to feel nervous to see him in person...

You wonder how his reaction would be when he does meet you...

That's until you heard a soft croak by the opened window...it appears to be a little frog.

You were shocked but felt relieved. You leaned closer to get a better look of the little fella.

"Aww, aren't you a cutie." You said softly to the tiny reptile.

That was until....

"Why thank you bella~" It responded back with a smirk...

Your eyes widen and let out a screeching noise, falling to your bum...

"Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to scare you Signora!!" The frog hopped by the dresser, trying to calm you down but you continue to freak out.

"Y-YOU'RE A TALKING FROG!!!!!" You shout out but the frog said something which may have surprised you.

"Yeah...but technically this isn't really me...allow me to introduce myself." It stood up with those long jumping legs.

"I am Alberto Scorfano Marcovaldo."

(Y/n's POV)

...This is Alberto?! HE'S A FROG?!?!

I've been blushing over a frog?!

That sounded shallow...but I must be going crazy from overworking or I'm literally seeing this happening to me.

"Y/n! Are you okay?! We heard you screaming?" Giulia was behind the door...I immediately rushed to the door.

"I-I'm fine Giulia! Just a spider, I killed it don't worry!" I giggled softly and then I heard her chuckle.

"Okay! Just making sure girly." As soon as she went back to the kitchen...I turned back to the talking frog.

"Y-You're Alberto...? Giulia's older brother?" I asked it and it nodded.

"Yeah!"

I looked back at the photo of him as a human...comparing the two...

It appears they both have the same eyes and freckles around it's face...

Mamma Mia it is him....

"If you're Alberto...then why didn't you come home...? Massimo was so worried about you...he even looked for you." I said to him and he gave me a worried look.

"Really? Awww man I didn't mean to make him feel scared for me...Well...funny story. I may have met some voodoo person and I'd like to have my future being told and boom! I'm a frog..."

What a complete idioti...you should never mess with a Voodoo master.

"So...you were cursed." I answered and he bites his lips which looked funny.

"I-I guess so..." He fiddled with his fingers and the way he's looking at me...almost like he's checking me out...

"Is there a cure for this silly curse?" I asked and he thought for a while, searching around the room, hopping over to the book shelf.

"Hmm, I know that book is somewhere. I remember Massimo reading a book to me and it includes a frog."

Oh...I know where this is going...

"Found it!" He opened the book and skim through the pages, then stopped at a few pictures that reveals the princess kissing the frog and he shape-shifted into a handsome prince.

Aww...this was my favorite story too.

Soon we turned to look at each other, giving me that snarky smirk...

Wait...me kissing a frog?!

"Oh heck no! I'm sorry...but, I don't think I resemble a princess! You need an actual princess to kiss." I said while turning red.

"Aww come on...you look like one to me. It's just one kiss, soon I'll be human and. Maybe you can see the real me~ if you like the kiss, I'll give you a better one~"

Okay this is just creepy...but...maybe I'll give him a chance. Does he really mean that...?

*sighs*

I thought of it...and I'm gonna regret everything...

"...okay...one kiss and live happily ever after." I leaned down and I picked him up off the dresser. Looking into those green eyes.

I took a deep breath and quickly pecked his lips...

(Alberto's PoV)

After that sweet kiss...I fell down to the ground pretty hard...

Huh...? I'm still a frog...

I looked around to find the cute girl...until I realized I saw her clothes scattered around the floor....

...oh no...

Soon, something crawled out of the clothes, revealing the girl as a frog!!

She looked down at her hands and rushed over to the mirror. Letting out a loud scream.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!?!" I screamed at me while she covers herself up...

"I didn't do anything?! I was expecting that kiss would work! But I guess...your a frog too...?"

(Y/n's POV)

God...I look hideous...I'm slimy...silky...green...UGH SO GROSS!!!

But that reminded me of something..."wait a minute...what was your fortune with the voodoo man...?" I asked him and bites his lips once again...

"Let's see...what I remember is that I dreamt of meeting the girl of my dreams and having a family and a life with her." He answered and I blushed...

Hmm...seems like a very sweet dream. Heck...my dream is to finally open up my very own bakery because of my amazing skills of baking goodies...that's why I worked everyday after school just to build up my credit...nowadays it's expensive...

"Don't tell me you have a dream of your own..." He said and I glared up at him...

Suddenly the door was about to open...oh no...it's Giulia.

"We have to hide Alberto!" I told him and he took me to the window, hiding from Giulia

"Y/n...? Where are you...?"

She said my name so many times...looking worried... then rushed to the open window.

Alberto held my hand and we hopped on the wet grass...

She looked out and back inside.

"Pappa! Y/n's missing!"

Oh Giulia...I'm so sorry...this wasn't supposed to happen...

To be continued...
