"I'm going to kill the boss."
Fugo blinked, his eyes going wide.
"If you step onto this boat, you will become a traitor.  None of you have to go with me, its alright."
Giorno stepped onto the boat almost immediatley, with Abbacchio being dramatic as usual and following him.  Mista was next. 
Fugo could see the pain in Narancia's eyes as he spoke.
"B-Bruno, I- I don't know what to do."
"Are you scared, Narancia?"
"Y-Yes.  But if you order me t-to come with you, I'll be confident."
"Narancia," started Bruno, "I order you to stay away.  Stay with Fugo."
Bruno looked to Fugo.  "Protect him.  I trust you, Fugo."
Fugo finally found his words.  "You've got to be kidding me!  You're going to kill the boss?! You're all traitors.  Nara and I are leaving." 
Bruno simply nodded, then turned around to start the boat.
Fugo wrapped his arms around the shorter boy, letting him cry into his chest.
"It'll all be okay, Nara.  We'll be okay."
"I'm exactly like T-Trish."
"Huh?"
"I'm like Trish.  I have to protect her!"
"Nara, wait!"
Narancia was running towards the dock, after the boat.
"Nara!  Hold on for a second!  Let's talk this over."
"I want to go.  You don't.  I realized that me and Trish are alike.  We should break up."
"Wait- Nara, I didn't ever say I didn't want to go."
"Huh?"
"I was staying back to be with you.  If you go, I'll go."
Narancia grabbed Fugo's hand, pulling him into the shallow water.
"Then let's go swimming."
They made it to the boat, sopping wet and cold.

"Glad you could join us." Said Abbacchio sarcastically.
"Hey, at least we're here," panted Fugo, wrapping an arm around a shivering Narancia.
"Thank you, Fugo.  And you too, Narancia.  Well, thank you to everyone, actually.  I don't think I could do this alone." Said Bruno, smiling at the odd group.  "Now let's go find the boss."
