Italian Food(Transcript)

The main 6 were making a presentation about the COVID-19 in Europe. Mostly Italy. It wasn't until Alicia came in running to the library.

Alicia: Guys help, my dad owns an Italian restaurant and the food started disappearing.

Zoe: Cool, I love Italian food, so how did the food disappear?

Alicia: Just follow me to the Georgetown Italian Restaurant, my dad needs you.

George: I would love to eat Italian food.

Zoe: All of us do, now let's go.

The main 6 followed Alicia to her father's Italian restaurant. They met Alicia's 8-year-old sister, Asia.

Asia: Alicia, who did you bring?

Alicia: I brought my friends here to investigate the table dad has been complaining about.

Asia: Oh, this way.

Reece, Blake, Troy, Brad, George and Zoe followed the sisters to the round table where they met the Carbone sisters' father.

Mario: Hi, I'm Mario, but you can call me Mr. Cabone, I own this Italian restaurant.

Reece: I'm Reece, and this is my friend Blake, his siblings Brad and Zoe and my choir mates, Troy and George.

Mario: I thought you guys are in the theatre club.

Zoe: We just need to investigate this round table you've been talking about. I need 3 plates of lasagna.

Mario went to the kitchen and got 3 plates of lasagna, then it disappeared.

George: Odd, what about 6 plates of pasta?

Alicia and Asia got 6 plates of pasta and it started adding 4 more plates. Which means it adds up to 10.

Blake: What the? I am so confused.

Zoe: It feels like I learnt this in preschool when I was 3. Let's go to our thinking space in the library. In school. C'mon.

Alicia: Can Asia and I come to?

Brad: Then let's go.

They walked back to school and went to the library and to the thinking space. Zoe grabbed her Kindle to look at what's going on.

Zoe: First, I need a number line in order for us to understand better.

Asia: Why do we need a number line? Are we rounding or something?

Zoe: Exactly, just like what the round table did. For example, when I add 3 lasagnas, it all disappears which moves it to 0. When I add 6 plates of pasta, it goes up to 10. That means it is rounding or estimating. Let's go back to that Italian restaurant your dad owns.

They went back to the Italian restaurant to meet up with Alicia and Asia's dad and mum.

Alicia: Mum, dad.

Maria: Hi Alicia, who did you bring?

Alicia: I brought my friends in, Reece, Blake, Troy, Brad, George and Zoe, this is my mum, Maria.

Maria: Hi.

Protagonists: Hi.

Zoe: We are here to investigate why your table is rounding off.

When Zoe touched the table, she turned into a 10-year-old girl.

Zoe: What the? Please tell me I turned into a tattletale again.

Blake: No you didn't, this table turned you into a 10-year-old. Because you are 13 and if you round off, 13 turns into 10. Like when you put 3 lasagnas on this table.

Blake also touched the table which turns him into a 20-year-old.

Blake: Oh geez, I became a 20-year-old man.

Reece: What are we going to do? Zoe turned into a primary school student and Blake turned into a university student like that.

Alicia: We need to find an invention, Zoe is a good inventor right?

Zoe: Of course, but the only thing we have here is a table.

Brad: Maybe you should sing to the table to persuade it to turn you back.

Blake: Hope it works.

Song: A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

Zoe: #The day we met #Frozen, I held my breath #Right from the start #I knew that I'd found a home for my heart beats fast #Colors and promises #How to be brave? #How can I love when I'm afraid to fall #But watching you stand alone? #All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow #One step closer #I have died everyday waiting for you #Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you #For a thousand years #I'll love you for a thousand more#

Blake: #Time stands still #Beauty in all she is#

Both: #I will be brave #I will not let anything take#

Blake: #...away #What's standing in front#

Both: #...of me #Every breath #Every hour has come to this #One step closer #I have died everyday waiting for you #Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you #For a thousand years#

Zoe: #I'll love you for#

Both: #A thousand more #And all along, I believed I would find you #Time has brought your heart to me #I have loved you for a thousand years #I'll love you for a thousand more... #Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh#

Zoe: #I'll love you for#

Both: #A thousand more! #Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh #One step closer#

Zoe: #I have died everyday waiting for you #Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you #For a thousand years #I'll love you#

Both: #For a thousand more #And all along, I believed I would find you #Time has brought your heart to me #I have loved you for a thousand years #I'll love you for a thousand more #I will love you #A thousand years #Mmmm, mmmm#

Blake: Hope this will work.

Zoe: Fingers crossed on that, 1 2 3!

Blake and Zoe both touched the round table and turned back to normal. Zoe became 13 again and Blake became 17, it is like a miracle.

Zoe: We did it!

Blake: Yeah.

Brad: Now what are we going to do?

Zoe: We need to figure out who might be under that table and sabotaging it.

Asia: I'll check, I'm smaller than you lot after all.

Asia looked under the table and saw a device stuck under the table. She grabbed it and showed it to us.

Asia: Guys, look.

Zoe: A device, I think we should go back to school and have this device checked. Asia, Alicia, I need you guys to go with us, c'mon.

They went back to school and into the library, that's when they went to their thinking space as Blake scans the device with the Kindle.

Blake: Okay, this device is called the Estimator, it can round off anything in different numbers including any peoples' ages.

Zoe: Like 13 and 17. But if you round off 13, it turns into 10, if you round off 17, it turns into 20.

George: What about 14?

Reece: It turns into 10.

Troy: Try 15.

Alicia: It turns into 20, even though 5 is at the middle, give it a nudge it turns into 10 in the number line.

Asia: What about 8?

Zoe: It turns into 10. Anyways, about this device, I know who invented this as an inventor, Annika O'Neill and her mean girl gang.

Asia: The half Spanish half Native American you've been talking about, Alicia?

Alicia: Yeah, she is a bully.

Brad: Then what are we waiting for? To the Year 11B classroom. Where they usually vape.

Asia: Who would like to vape in school? It isn't allowed right?

Reece: We all know, but let's go.

The main 6, Alicia and Asia went to the Year 11B classroom where they caught the mean girls vaping. Then Zoe showed them the device they stuck under the round table.

Zoe: Who put this device in Alicia's dad's restaurant? I know it is you lot.

Hazel: (mocks) Oh, we've been caught.

Annika: But you're right, we put this device in the Georgetown Italian Restaurant. Why? Italian food sucks.

Asia: Oi! That's not a very nice word to say.

Alicia: Yeah.

Zoe: This is not a good thing to do, you put a device in Mr. Carbone's restaurant just because you hate Italian food? Unbelievable! First you hate Asian food and now Italian food. What's next, British food?

Annika: Who cares about this? When me and the mean girls can do this instead of eating rubbish food.

Song: Material Girl by Madonna

Annika: #Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me #I think they're okay #If they don't give me proper credit, I just walk away #They can beg and they can plead #But they can't see the light #'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash is always Mister Right #'Cause we are living in a material world #And I am a material girl #You know that we are living in a material world #And I am a material girl #Some boys romance, some boys slow dance #That's all right with me #If they can't raise my interest, then I have to let them be #Some boys try, and some boys lie #But I don't let them play, no way #Only boys that save their pennies make my rainy day #'Cause we are living in a material world #And I am a material girl #You know that we are living in a material world #And I am a material girl #Living in a material world #And I am a material girl #You know that we are living in a material world #And I am a material girl #Living in a material world #Living in a material world #Living in a material world #Living in a material world #Boys may come, and boys may go #And that's all right, you see #Experience has made me rich, and now they're after me #'Cause everybody's living in a material world #And I am a material girl #You know that we are living in a material world #And I am a material girl #Living in a material world #And I am a material girl #You know that we are living in a material world #And I am a material girl #A material, a material, a material, a material world #Living in a material world #Living in a material world #Living in a material world #Living in a material world #Living in a material world #Living in a material world #Living in a material world #Living in a material world#

Zoe: You know how much I hate that song.

Blake: Yeah.

Alicia: So do I, my dad would usually open Italian songs rather than Madonna.

Annika: Who cares?

Brad: If you don't want to be punished, you need to admit your deeds to Mr. Carbone.

Annika: Fine.

The mean girls followed the main 6, Alicia and Asia to the Georgetown Italian Restaurant where they met Mr and Mrs Carbone.

Alicia: Mum, dad, these girls need to apologise.

Maria: What for?

Asia: For putting this weird device under that round table and criticising our restaurant.

Mario: That is terribly not good.

Maria: Bloody terrible.

Annika: We're sorry.

Maria: Okay, you lot may leave now.

Mario: Also, you lot can sing a song for us before we open this restaurant for business.

Song: Teenage Dream by Katy Perry

Zoe: #I think you're pretty without any make-up on #I think you're funny when you tell the punch line wrong #I know you got me #So I'll let my walls come down, down#

George: #Before you met me, I was alright #But things were kind of heavy, you brought me to life #Now every February #You'll be my valentine, valentine#

Brad: #So let's go all the way tonight #No regrets, just love #We can dance until we die #You and I, we'll be young forever#

All: #You make me feel like #I'm living a teenage dream, the way you turn me on #I can't sleep, let's run awa #And don't ever look back, don't ever look back #Cause my heart stops when you look at me #Just one touch, now baby I believe #This is real, let's take a chance #And don't ever look back, don't ever look back#

Troy: #We drove to Georgetown, got drunk on the beach #Got a motel and built a house out of sheets #I finally got you, my missing puzzle piece #I'm complete#

Blake: #So let's go all the way tonight #No regrets, just love #We can dance until we die #You and I, here we go, we'll be young forever#

All: #You make me feel like #I'm living a teenage dream, the way you turn me on #I can't sleep, let's run away #And don't ever look back, don't ever look back #Cause my heart stops when you look at me #Just one touch, now baby I believe #This is real, let's take a chance #And don't ever look back, don't ever look back#

Reece: #Cause I can feel your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans #Be your teenage dream tonight #Let you rest your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans #Be your teenage dream tonight#

All: #You make me feel like #I'm living a teenage dream, the way you turn me on #I can't sleep, let's run away #And don't ever look back, don't ever look back #Cause my heart stops when you look at me #Just one touch, now baby I believe #This is real, let's take a chance #And don't ever look back, don't ever look back#

Mario: Maybe you could visit Italy, nice place isn't it?

Reece: It is a nice place and we all wanted to go but because of the COVID-19 outbreak going on, we can't. Plus we aren't allowed to go anywhere else in Europe because of that. Mainly Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Cyprus, Hungary, Lativia, Lithuania, Norway, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine. They don't allow foreigners to come.

Mario: I see.

Zoe: So what are we doing here in the UK?

Mario: My wife is British, also because my parents wanted to open an Italian restaurant here in Georgetown. We also got Alicia here along with Asia. This year, we are planning to go back to Italy but because of the COVID-19 outbreak, we can't.

Blake: I see, we gotta go, we have a project to finish.

Alicia: I have to go back to school with them.

Maria: Okay, good luck with your projects.

Asia: See you after school Alicia.

The main 6 and Alicia went back to school. Before entering the building, Alicia talked to the main 6.

Alicia: Guys, I would like to say, thank you for helping me back there.

Zoe: No problem, Alicia.

Alicia: How much do I have to pay you?

Reece: You don't have to pay us, Alicia.

Alicia: Really?

Blake: Yeah, our parents are already rich but dad decided to raise me and my siblings in the suburbs so that we won't act like spoilt brats. Like Annika and her mean girl gang.

Alicia: Okay.

Zoe: If you need help, tell us, we can help you.

Alicia: Alright, see you in the auditorium later.

Alicia wandered off to the auditorium.

George: Shall we finish our project?

Brad: Then let's do it.

The main 6 went back to the library to finish their project. They are doing it in their thinking space.

Zoe: So what is this project for?

Reece: It is a group project for students from all classes to do. We should do it in groups of at least 6.

Blake: Also we should make a presentation about the COVID-19 happening across the continent of Europe along with the impacts caused by it.

Zoe: I can help you with the required information, and help you decorate this future board.

George: I can help too.

They started doing their work while Zoe and George were looking for the info in the Kindle. Meanwhile, Annika, being as sneaky as usual is watching. She got her walkie talkie with her too.

Annika: Look girls, it seems like they are doing their work. The group project everyone has been doing.

Yuka: So what are we going to do?

Annika: Sabotage their work and then make ours the same.

Victoria: Good idea Annika.

While researching, Zoe noticed that someone is sneaking to copy their work. She knew instantly that it was Annika.

Zoe: Oi, guys, I think Annika is sneaking so that they could sabotage our work.

Reece: Really? Why would they do that?

Blake: Just to make us look bad of course.

George: Try to mix things up a bit, so that they'll know that their plan didn't turn out the way it should be.

Zoe: George is right, let's do it.

Everyone: (laughs)
