Amy was sitting in a beach chair in Hawaii. It had been a month since the 39 clues ended, and as soon as they got off the Reconciliation island- which was what after a long discussion they had named the island where the entire Cahill family had been reunited at last- and were riding in a helicopter towards New York, Nellie had made a decision.

"The first family trip will be to Hawaii." She had said.

Dan looked like he was ready to fly to the tropical island then and there, Amy wanted to go as soon as possible too, but being Amy she had a question "Do you mean our family?" She asked drawing an invisible ring around Dan, Nellie, the former man in black now known as Uncle Fiske and herself "Or the entire family?" She said making an around the world motion with her hands.

Nellie had giggled and said "great way to express yourself Amy. And I meant our family" she said making another invisible ring around them. "I mean I know you're a, like, chilled family and all now, but I highly doubt you still want to spend quality time with the Holts and vice- versa."

"That's what I was thinking about when I asked, so I just wanted to make sure." Amy shrugged.

Dan was doing a victory dance in his seat when all of a sudden he looked up at Amy frowning "This doesn't mean I have to dress in a leaf skirt or learn how to climb palm trees, right? Because flagpoles were enough, thank you very much."

The new family had all laughed their laughs harmonizing, it seemed as though they hadn't almost died several times before as if the 39 clues had been a game.

Now Amy and Nellie were relaxing in their chairs, pink Yankee hats on their heads, 50 dollar sunglasses over their eyes getting some necessary tan time while Dan was trying to convince Fiske to get into the water. While the girls were getting ready tan time,

Dan had somehow gotten their uncle into gray trunks and a camisole, so the man would probably give in soon enough.

She was dozing off when she heard a startled "Amy? " She quickly sat up and pulled off her sunglasses to search for the person who had called her name.

She was standing on her left in a hot pink one-piece swimming suit. "Natalie?" she asked incredulously.

Nellie who had been dozing off too woke up as soon as she heard Natalie Kabra's name. "Whoa, family reunion… you look strange you're smiling at each other that's creepy." she said then she saw Amy's raised eyebrow and went on "it's good to see you really are getting along, and it's nice to see you again but it's random I guess."

Natalie smiled at her and said "Yeah I suppose it's gonna take some getting used to, but I admit it's nice to be able to walk up to you without trying to kill you…" and as if they had been friends forever they all started a fit of giggles which turned to real laughter after about a minute.

When they had sobered up enough to breathe properly Amy asked so where have you been? What have you done? How's life? I want to know what happened after we became a real family."

"I'll go get Ian so we can both tell you." Natalie decided

"Good idea. We'll go get Dan and Uncle Fiske" Amy said.

"That's the man who was next to Mr. McIntyre?"

" Yeah, oh look Dan got him in the water!" Amy said. Looking at him "Doesn't look very happy about it does he?"

"Not at all" Natalie replied laughing.

She was about to walk off when Amy stopped her "Wait a sec. Isn't that Ian right there?" She said pointing to a boy floating next to Dan.

"Yes, I think it is!"

"Oh, convenient" Nellie said suddenly

"What do you mean?" the girls asked simultaneously.

"There's three female and three male." Nellie explained "Alright girls, I believe it's swimming time!"

Natalie couldn't believe it. A month ago she would have seen Amy relaxing at the beach and would have told her that her swimming suit made her look fat. Yet today she was splashing her in the water as they swam towards the boys. Maybe miracles do exist.

She was so concentrated on beating Amy and Nellie, she didn't even notice that Dan was right In front of her and that if she didn't stop she would run into him.

She didn't stop.

"Ouch!" Both 11 year-olds said.

"It's nice to see you too, Natalie." Dan said with a smile .

Natalie just blushed.

Nellie and Amy were laughing so hard that Amy didn't notice when Nellie pushed her hard enough to make her bump into Ian. "S-sorry" Amy stuttered, then cleared her throat and said clearly "Though I shouldn't be the one apologizing should I, Nellie?"

Nellie snorted "It's not my fault your such a scrawny little kid."

Amy gasped dramatically and before Nellie could process what the very offended gasp meant she was hit with water. Not wanting to let Amy win Nellie splashed back, but during Nellie's offensive comment, Amy's arm had somehow ended up around Ian's waist as Ian's had found that Amy's shoulder was a quite comfortable armrest. So when Amy had tried to turn away from the splash her and Ian had gotten into a tangled embrace their faces merely inches away from each other.

Natalie found herself hoping that Ian would make the move. As if reading her mind that's exactly what he did.

A/N I know I'm a hopeless romantic what can I say? That I am super-mad that Amy and Ian didn't end up together? I don't know? Any how depending on your reviews I will keep going and just because my head is full of 39 clues I'll make another chapter no matter what your reviews say. J

I'm just curious my awesome reviewers what Cahill branch would you like to be in?
