BTW, the title means Hello Friends in Italian because that's where I went! Hello, how is everyone? As you know now, I'm back from my 2 and a half week trip to Italy, and now I want to tell you all about it. Warning, I tend to ramble sometimes and talk too much, so this could get long and slightly boring, but only because I want you guys to feel like you were there with me. I also have pictures to show you guys of Italy, so I'll post them up maybe in this post. Ok, here we go, a detailed description of my trip, day by day. Don't worry, the first couple of days aren't that interesting.

Day 1- June 23rd: Even though this day doesn't technically count because that is when our flight left in the evening. Our flight was supposed to be at 8pm, but it got delayed to 11:30pm, 3 and a half hours, which sucks. So, we finally got on and started our 8 hour trip. BTW, my mom, dad, sister and my mom's mom came with us for the trip, just so you know

Day 2-June 24th: Ok, so now, we arrive in Rome, Italy, about 1:30 their time, if I remember correctly, so it would be 7:30 Eastern Time (I'll be referring to Italy time from now on). So, one of our relatives, Guitano, comes to pick us up and we drve 1 and a half hours south to where our relatives live, in a town called Sora. When we arrived, we were practically attacked by my Nonna's (my mom's mom) sister and brother in law. Of course, an hour after we arrived, all of our relatives came over to say hello for about 3 hours or so. Now, everyone in our family that lives in Sora speak Italian, except for Guitano, my mom's cousin, and my mom's other cousin Frank, and his daughter Eleanora, so when everyone else speaks, we have no clue what they are saying, so we just smile and nod. After that, we had a huge dinner.

Now, let me tell you, our family is very old fashioned, they get up early, don't eat breakfast, I don't think they eat lunch, and they have a huge dinner, which consists of chicken or lamb, beans with disgusting beet sauce on it, bread, and more vegetables. Honestly, our family's cooking sucks. The chicken tastes like, I'm sorry for this description, but it tastes like the chicken had just been killed and skinned then cooked then put on our plate. I wouldn't be surprised, since my Nonna's sister and her brother in law, also known as my Zia and Zio, live on the side of a mountain, and they have rabbits, bunnies, chickens and roosters in their backyard.

Of course, I only had some bread, since the other food tastes gross. After that, we kind of chilled, just unpacked and then after that, we went to bed at, like, 10pm, again, Italy time.

Day 3- June 25th: Ok, so my Zia and Zio, as I mentioned, has chickens and roosters in their backyard, and there's this stupid rooster that crows every single morning at 4 freaking am in the morning! Unfortunately, their house does not have screens, and their windows are the old fashioned windows with the little gaps through the wood. To top it all off, my sister and I are closest to where the rooster lives, so we naturally wake up at 4am. Also, because trucks rumble down the mountain, and that's very VERY loud, louder than if you live right beside a highway, yeah, louder than that. Also, my family, as I said, very oldfashioned, so they get up at 4am. Of course, my sister and I fall back asleep and wake up at 8am, luckily. There's no food for breakfast in the house, so we don't eat anything. Our second cousin Julia comes over for the whole day. She can speak a little bit of English, but not much, so we attempt to talk to each other.

Now, another thing about my Zia and Zio. They like to take naps at 2pm-4pm. Now, then we have to be quiet, and there's nothing to do, cause the nearest town is 20 minutes walking, so we just sat around, talked, went to go see the baby bunnies that had just been born. Finally, they woke up, Frank and his family came to visit, we had dinner then my family and Julia's family went out for gelato, or icecream as we call it.

Day 4- June 26th: This is similar to day 3. We woke up around 8am, no breakfast, then this time we went to town to this market thing where we shopped around a bit before going back for a little bit of lunch. After that, Julia came over again and we watched TV, then afterwards we had dinner then went to church on a mountain. Yes, a church. It was all in Italian and I had no clue what they were talking about, but it finally ended an hour later where we came back then we watched the Eurocup between Spain and Russia I believe, well it was Spain and somebody. Then we said goodbye to everyone then we went to sleep. So overall, this day was boring and uneventful

Day 5- June 27th: Finally, the very last day of staying at my Zia's and Zio's. I can finally eat again! We wake up earlier than usual, because we're leaving at 11am to go to the cruise ports to go on our cruise, Carnival Freedom. Unfortunately, that day, I have a sore throat, and a cough. So, Guitano takes me and my mom at 10:30 to his children's doctor. We just walk on in, no appointment neccesary which is cool, and I get this antibiotic. Did you know, in Italy, you don't have to buy prescription drugs up to a certain age, because the government pays for it?

Anyways, finally, we arrive back at the house then it's time to say goodbye. We finally arrive at the port at 2:00pm or so, because the port's a long way away. We get on the boat. We're on the 8th deck, just below the Lido deck, or pool and food deck. I slept in my parents room and my sis and Nonna shared a room. Of course, you have to do a boatdrill before you left, so we did. 1 freaking hour to get to the 'Muster Station', wait till everyone got there, then the Cruise Director Todd explaining about the boatdrill, what to do when it happened, what boat we go to, ect.... then repeating it in Russian and Spanish! Because the majority was Russian, English and Spanish speaking people.

Oh, did I eat that night? Oh yes, I ate a lot at the buffet, I was starving, like my parents! And the boat started going to our first port!

Day 6-June 28th-Naples, Italy: Our first port of call was Naples, which is down south. Now, I'm sure you've heard of Capri, right? If not, it's an island off the coast of Naples, famous people go there. Well, we didn't go there, it was too busy. Instead, we went on a taxi tour to the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento and Pompeii. Now, this taxi driver was so nice. He stopped a few times for breaks to eat and stretch our legs, and he showed us a lot. Now, the Amalfi Drive is the way to get to the Amalfi Coast, and it was beautiful! Now, I'm not going to post the picture I took for this, most likely cause it sucks, but here's a nice picture of it

That's very similar to what it looks like. The water's a bit bluer, but it is absolutely gorgeous. Now, along the way, we met these super nice people doing the same taxi tour as us, from our cruise ship. Gina and Pasquale, I apologize if I spelt that name wrong, and their 15 year old daughter Juliana, and their 13 year old daughter Alessandra. We became close friends with them throughout the whole cruise.

Now, after this, we went to Sorrento, Pompeii, which is a ruin that is being rebuilt after a volcanic eruption destroyed the whole city within minutes. After this, we went back to the ship, had a good meal, and actually, we started talking to the table next to ours. Ok, you see, on Carnival, before you arrive, you have to choose what time you want to eat, at either 6pm or 8:15pm for dinner. You choose then you are given a table number and that's where you eat for the whole cruise, unless you want to eat in the buffet. So, the table next to ours had a Chinese family. A husband and wife, whose names I forget but they were cool and non traditional, and their two sons, Jeffery, whose 20, and Alex, whose 16. They were really nice. So, after dinner, while my mom and Nonna were shopping for jewelery, we played cards with them. Afterwards my sis met up with Juliana. Sadly, I got seperated from my sister, and had no clue where to meet them.

Day 7- June 29th- Sea Day: Now, a sea day is obviously, a day out at sea. We didn't do much. Me and my sister hung out by the pool, where we met up with Juliana again. Me and Juliana went down the water slide, which was fun, afterwards going into the pool. The rest of the day was swimming and tanning. After dinner, Alex, Jeff, my sis and I played cards then went to go see the main show in the lounge. It was a dance type show and was fantastic. After that, we went to this teen club with Juliana and we met some people there, like this guy Phillip, and Dustin.

Ok guys, that's all I'll give you now, most likely cause I have to go right now. But I'll post the next part later.

Yeah, I was randomly listening to What Time Is It from High School Musical 2, and decided to put this up.

Yay! Finally, after 10 months of torcherous education, it is summer! My last exam, Georgraphy, ended yesterday, so now I am officially on vacation! Whooooooo! I've been waiting for this for ages! School is goodbye! Hello Summer!

There, a picture, that will hopefully show up, for you guys to see and enjoy. Of course, I'll be in Italy by this time next week, but who cares? It's summer, and it'll be so much fun. I hope you guys have a wonderful summer, as most have you have already started like me. So, that's enough of my yapping! Yay summer!

ZOEY

I'm sure Dad.

MR. BROOKS

Ok. So, do you want me to walk you to your dorm?

ZOEY

No, you should go drive Dustin to PCA and help him unpack

MR. BROOKS

Ok. But you know if there's any problems, you can call. And when you have days off, go visit your brother once in a while to make sure he's ok, since PCA's only about 20 minutes from here

ZOEY

Ok Dad, I'll make sure I'll do that

MR. BROOKS

Ok, love you

ZOEY

Love you too

Zoey hugs Mr. Brooks, as he gets the rest of the bags out of the car. He hugs back

Zoey opens door and carries her bags in. Brunette girl in dorm turns to Zoey. We see it's Nicole Bristow

ZOEY

Nicole?

NICOLE

Oh, hey Zoe!

They hug

ZOEY

What are you doing here?

NICOLE

Well, my mom sent me here after I cured my OMGD

Nicole walks to window and spots a cute boy outside. She smiles and winks at him

ZOEY

sarcastically Yeah, I can see you're over your OMGD

NICOLE

So, where's everyone else?

ZOEY

Actually, we planned to all meet in the parking lot in, Zoey checks watch about an hour or so, because that's when Logan gets in, along with Vince

NICOLE

Vince? Vince Blake? That football player?

ZOEY

Yeah. You've missed a lot since you left

NICOLE

So, you and Chase got together yet?

ZOEY

How'd you know?

NICOLE

Zoey, it has been painfully obvious since Chase and you met that you both liked each other.

ZOEY

Yeah, it was quite obvious

NICOLE

Oh yeah

ZOEY

Well, as soon as we all meet up, we'll catch you up

NICOLE

That's great

The two start unpacking their stuff

Scene 3- Edison Hall- Room 278

Quinn walks into the dorm. The brunette haired girl turns then smiles. We see it as Paige Howard, from Zoey 101's 'Paige at PCA'

PAIGE

Hey Quinn

QUINN

Paige? Aren't you supposed to be, in like, 3rd year university?

PAIGE

Actually, after a few months of university, I called it quits and went to this highschool in Maui. I want to enjoy my life at the age I'm at

QUINN

So, you're still smart?

PAIGE

Oh yeah!

QUINN

That's...great

PAIGE

Look, Quinn, I know we hadn't been the best of friends, or any friends at all. But I'd like that to turn around. So, friends?

QUINN

Sure, friends

Quinn and Paige hug

PAIGE

So, again, I'd like to thank you for helping me stop Paige Power all those years ago. It does mean a lot

QUINN

Don't mention it. It's in the past now. So, what have you been up to lately?

PAIGE

Well, I've been thinking of making a time travel machine

QUINN

Really?

PAIGE

Yeah. I haven't figured it all out yet. So, do you wanna help?

QUINN

Would I? Of course! I have been thinking of a new project for university myself, and this would give me the right amount of challenge

The two laugh and smile

Scene 4- Garland Hall- Room 136

Lola and Lisa are in the room, unpacking

LOLA

I can't believe you're my roomate. I mean, what are the odds?

LISA

I know. I was afraid of getting a crazy roomate like last year.

LOLA

You mean Ana Gale?

LISA

Yeah, and boy, was she crazy. She used to steal my jewelery to 'analyze the weight and colour' or something like that.

LOLA

Wow, she sounds even worse than Quinn when we first met her!

Lisa and Lola laugh as they finish unpacking

LOLA

Wow, we have about half an hour before we have to meet the others. What now?

LISA

Why don't we explore the campus?

LOLA

Yeah, that sounds great! Maybe we'll run into some cute older guys

LISA

Lola, you're dating Vince!

LOLA

Yeah, but it doesn't hurt to flirt

LISA

I guess. I hope Michael won't mind me flirting

LOLA

I'm sure he won't. Let's go

Lola and Lisa leave the room

Scene 5- Faulkner Hall-Room 210

Chase and James are sitting on their beds

CHASE

I cannot believe we're in college!

JAMES

I know. I still remember when I was a freshman in highschool.

CHASE

I remember when I was a senior in junior high

JAMES

That's when you met Zoey, right?

CHASE

Yeah

Chase notices James' sudden quietness

CHASE

Sorry dude. I know how touchy you still are from junior prom with Zoey and all

JAMES

Yeah. But, hey, if she hadn't of broken up with me, you guys may not be dating, and we wouldn't be friends

CHASE

I know

JAMES

So, you wanna go walk around a bit, get some fresh air?

CHASE

Totally

The two grab their keys and leave

Scene 6- Eames Hall- Room 228

Michael and Vince are tossing a football back and forth

VINCE

So, you actually set your room on fire?

MICHAEL

Actually, I set my little sister, Tamika's room on fire. What? She had a candle lit in there and I accidentally knocked it over! Just be thankful it didn't fall on me!

VINCE

Instead it fell onto her matress and the whole thing nearly blew up?

MICHAEL

Hey, her room was saved just in time

VINCE

Because your sister had the fire extinguisher right outside her room

MICHAEL

Well, that was lucky

VINCE

So lucky

Michael checks his watch

MICHAEL

Wow, time flies by fast. We only have 20 minutes to meet the gang in the parking lot. Let's go

VINCE

Totally

The two leave

Scene 7- Parking Lot

Vince and Michael arrive as do Quinn, Paige, Lola, Lisa, Nicole, Zoey, James and Chase. A limo pulls up as Logan steps out

ZOEY

Chase!

Chase and Zoey share a kiss, as do Vince and Lola, and Michael and Lisa. Quinn sees Logan and Nicole and goes to hug Nicole

QUINN

Nicole, you're here!

NICOLE

Hey Quinn! How is everyone?

MICHAEL

Excellent Nicole. How was that all girls boarding school?

NICOLE

Great, I guess. Sorry for not keeping in touch. I've been busy.

LOLA

That's ok. We all have been busy

ZOEY

So Nicole, this is James, Vince, Lisa and....Paige?

QUINN

Yeah, Paige Howard. She's my roomate

NICOLE

Wait, Paige Howard? The girl that invented Paige Power but it went wrong?

PAIGE

Yeah, that'll be me. Please to meet you....Nicole

Logan walks over as Quinn gives Logan a kiss

NICOLE

Woah, lots have happened since I've left. Quinn.....and Logan?

ZOEY

Trust me, we were as shocked as you. We found out in junior year, months after they started dating. We'll explain later.

NICOLE

Ok.....

CHASE

So, how was everyone's summer?

EVERYONE:

Excellent/Perfect/Fantastic/Great

CHASE

Well, we'd all love to hear about each other's summer, and Nicole, Paige, I'm sure we'd love to hear about what you two have been up to

LOGAN

Yeah, I'd love to, but I need to unpack. But I'll call you guys when I'm done and I'll find you guys, k?

QUINN

Sure. Do you need help?

LOGAN

Naw, I'm good. You guys go ahead. Men?

Two men are lugging the suitcases and bags out of the limo. They start dragging it behind Logan

QUINN

See you!

Logan blows her a kiss then he leavesa

LOLA

Well, some things never change

JAMES

Are you surprised?

LOLA

Not really

NICOLE

But he looks like he's changed since I last saw him

ZOEY

Trust me, he has. He's mellowed, he's become...sweeter in a way

NICOLE

Quinn, I'd love to hear how you two got together. What happened to Del Figs? Finally realize he wasn't the guy for you?

QUINN

Well, I guess it all started when Mark told me he wanted to take a break...

Scene 8- Flynn Hall- Room 253

Logan opens his dorm room and the two men carry his bags in. Logan pays them

LOGAN

Thanks men. My father will give you more later.

The men leave and Logan turns to the brunette boy in the room sitting on a bed

LOGAN

Uh, hi, you must be my roomate. Logan Reese. And you are?

BOY

My name's Adam, Adam Lavito. So, you're Logan Reese. Your dad's some major director, right?

LOGAN

Yeah, he is. That's where I get my good looks from

The two laugh

ADAM

Funny. So, I guess that's why you're taking acting as a course

LOGAN

Of course. I love acting, as I guess you do

ADAM

Of course.

Logan smiles, and starts unpacking

Scene 9- Outside

NICOLE

So, you and James broke up because of Chase?

ZOEY

Yeah, and we've been dating ever since

NICOLE

Wow, that sounds great. I haven't had a boyfriend since I left PCA. My mom didn't want me to relapse

LISA

So, I figure you faked being better?

NICOLE

Yup, because I wanted to come to PCU, hoping you guys would be here too.

LOLA

Well, it's great to see you

VINCE

Yeah, it's great to meet you

PAIGE

Yeah, but I can see why you like guys. I have a feeling they like you back, because you're majorly pretty.

NICOLE

Aw, thanks

CHASE

Now, where have I heard that one from?

ZOEY/LOLA/MICHAEL/CHASE/QUINN

Rebecca

PAIGE/VINCE/NICOLE/LISA

Who's Rebecca

CHASE

A long story

NICOLE

Well, we have time

CHASE

Well, Rebecca is my ex girlfriend....

Scene 10- Flynn Hall- Room 253

Logan is finished unpacking and is sitting on his bed

ADAM

So, you're dating this science girl, Quinn?

LOGAN

Yeah, she's awesome. She changed me, and made me become....nicer. Trust me, if I wasn't dating her, I'd be outside, flirting with at least 10 different girls by now

ADAM

I know. I had this girlfriend, Natalie, and I loved her. She changed me. But then we broke up in the summer, and I changed back to my old ways, flirting with girls, dating them temporarily. But I can never truly go back to the person I was once upon a time. She has changed me, and I'll never forget it

LOGAN

I know how you feel. If Quinn and I broke up, I think I'd be devestated

ADAM

I nearly died when Natalie dumped me

LOGAN

Hey, you want to go meet my friends?

ADAM

Sure

LOGAN

Great. I'll just call them.

Logan dials number. Someone answers

LOGAN

Hey Quinn, it's me. Where are you guys? I'll be there soon. I'm going to bring my roomate. I'll see you soon baby. Ok, bye

Logan hangs up

LOGAN

They're near the library near Allen Hall. Shall we go?

ADAM

Of course

The two leave

Scene 11- Outside

(Music, Follow Me by Jamie Lynn Spears, plays again. The gang are walking and talking. Logan and Adam catch up. With no words heard, the gang greets them, and they smile as they continue talking. They walk out, laughing, as after a few seconds, the screen fades out)

Ok, so that was probably short, but it's the pilot. I couldn't think of anything. I hoped you liked it. The next episode should be out soon.
