The days were passing, and Federicco was still obssesed with Marianna, Gerardinni was still worried about his brothers obssesion, but every attempt of helping him, always ended in aggresive discussions, but even when there is problems, the life still goes on, and the Pizzalini Bros. were still working on their restaurant, and of course, Federicco was still thinking about her, but she didn't came back yet, but he always was waiting for the moment of seeing her again.

Until one normal afternoon, with was a sunny and warm time, Federicco went to have a little and relaxing walk in the park. Where the leaves were greener than the pears, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the people walked.

Federicco was casually walking across the park, just enjoying the beautiful day, until he saw her, Marianna was also in the park, wearing a wearing casual clothes, very different from the traditional dress in which he first saw her, but without ceasing to be beautiful.

Federicco subtly went closer to her, and with a happy voice, he said:

"Ciao Marianna!"

Marianna immediatly recognized that voice, it was the same guy who offered to her free food on the restaurant, so she replied with a calm voice:

"Ciao... Uhm... You are... Federicco, right?"

Federicco inmediatly got very excited and happy to see that she remembered his name, and with a happy voice said:

"YES BAMBINA! I'M FEDERICCO! I'm glad that you remembered my name, also, you look so pretty and cool with that haircut!"

Marianna got a little embarrased and confused, she blushed, and replied:

"E- ewww... Pl- please ragazzo, don't say that, anyways... Thank you? I guess..."

Federicco, while he was smiling replied:

"Anyways bambina, i'm here to help you in any favour you need, I live in the 16-A house of the street who is right from that statue of Leonardo da Vinci"

Marianna smiled a little and said:

"Uhmmm... Thank you... I guess, anyways, I also live in that same street, so maybe I can ask you for some favour, if sometime i need it

"No problem bambina, you can count with me!" Replied Federicco, and he just go back to his home.

One hour later, Federicco and Gerardinni were in their house eating macaroni, the Doorbell sounded, and Gerardinni woke up from his chair and went to look at the door peephole, and he saw it was the same girl that his brother was obssesed, and when Federicco asked "who is there?" Gerardinni just said, "I have no idea bro", anyways, Gerardinni opened the door and asked to her what she needed

"Ciao! You're Gerardinni, right? My brother said that he and you live here, and I could ask to him for help if I needed it"

Federicco inmediatly recognized that voice, and went running, pushed away his brother and inmediatly said:

"Oh bambina, I'm glad to see you, what do you need?"

"Oh, my TV is too old, and its having problems to turn on, you know how to help me to fix it? Could you do it please?" Said Marianna

Federicco get very, very, very, very excited and replied:

"OF COURSE BAMBINA! I can fix your old TV!"

Gerardinni immediatly heard that, and replied

"MAMMA MIA BROTHER, ARE YOU CRAZY? You don't know literally nothing about how to fix a TV, It's very dangerous, don't do it!!!"

But Federicco just ignored his brother, and went to Marianna's house to see what he could do.

So Federicco opened Mariana's TV, it was a old Color TV from the 90s and said:

"Oh Bambina, I think i saw the problem, Its a broken wire, I think I can replace it..."

But Federicco forgot to unplug the TV before trying to fix it, and when he grabbed the cable, inmediatly got electroshocked

"BRRRR... AAAAAH..."

He felt an intense pain on his fingers, and at the same time, Electric sparks were out, they reached a floor carpet that was near in the same room, and it got easily in fire, and while Federicco was screaming in pain, Marianna got desperate when she saw the fire, and fastly, she grabbed and used an emergency extinghisher that she was saving for any unexpected fire (after all, it's not the first time she's dealt with an accidental fire).

Some time later, Federicco was very embarrased and ashamed, he said to Marianna:

"Sorry Marianna, i couldn't fix your TV... I tried, but i'm bad at these things"

"Dont worry ragazzo, anyways it was already time for me to buy a new one" Replied Marianna

Federicco went back to his home, frustrated for that embarrasing experience, meanwhile, Gerardinni was watching the news on his TV, then Gerardinni asked to his brother:

"So... You could really fix that thing?

"No bro, I don't want to talk about it, it was so embarrasing, and I accidentaly burned her carpet" Replied Federicco

Gerardinni hardly laughed and said:

"Hahahaha... Mamma mia bro, I hate to say that I told you so but... I TOLD YOU SO!"

And that's how Federicco, obssesed in his own fantasies, humbled himself again for impressing the girl he loved!
