"What!?" Dan and Natalie exclaimed at the same time. Sometimes they are just too immature, Amy thought to her self.
Amy had just gotten through with explaining to Dan and Natalie that while her and Ian would be investigating an explosion in Paris, Dan and Natalie would be working together in the CCC to help them with research. Worst of all, it was right before Christmas. It probably also wasn't a very good idea to have the Kabra's fly out at three in the morning to Boston when she and Ian had a five a.m. flight to Paris.
"Why can't you and I go to Paris instead? We don't need these Cobra's!" Whined Dan. "Plus Christmas is only five days away. This trip will take at least a week."
"We're going to be doing a lot a interrogating, so I could use a Lucian. Plus Uncle Fiske thought it would be a good opportunity to bond." Amy said.
"Fine, take your stupid boyfriend to Paris and investigate. I'll just be stuck here with the she-Cobra for Christmas." Dan grumbled, while Amy turned redder than a firetruck.
"H-he's n-not my boyfriend" I will end this stutter, Amy thought to herself.
Natalie, who had been surprisingly quiet, finally spoke up, "Wait, let me get this straight. You woke me up and got me on a plane at three a.m. to Attleboro just to tell me that while Dan and I are here in the CCC you and my brother will be investigating in beautiful Paris, yes?"
"That's right Natalie," said her big brother, " Also, Fiske wanted me to remind you all that he and Nellie will be off to Italy in two days to meet with us. Also, try not to kill each other while we're gone."
Natalie was still letting it sink in. I'll have to spend a week with Daniel Cahill. Working with him and breathing his peasant air. While be brother gets to go to Paris with the girl of his dreams.
"This is so unfair!" Natalie screamed and ran out of the room.
They were all stunned. Even Ian didn't think she'd take it that badly. At the sound of a slamming door Nellie rushed into the room since Fiske was out for the day.
"What was that noise?" She yelled when she burst into the room, gun poised in hand.
"We just got through tell Natalie the news, and she did not take it well." explained Ian, "So she stormed out and slammed the door. Perhaps I should go talk to her..."
He started to trail off as he began to walk in the direction of his siter.
"Wait. You have to be at the airport in half an hour and once you're gone, she'll have to learn to deal with Dan on her own so I say we make Dan go and talk to her" Nellie said matter-of-factly.
Dan didn't like the sound of that, but it was true. They were gonna have to deal with one another. "I see your point, but I don't like it. I will go talk to her." And with that, he went to find her.
It wasn't to hard to find her. She was right outside the room sitting on a love seat fixing her make up. My goodness she's a princess, Dan thought. And I'm stuck with her for the next week. He walked up to her.
"Um, hey. He said.
"Hello Daniel." She said. Why does she sound so congested? It's not that cold in the mansion.
She sniffled. Dan sighed. "Look I'm just gonna get right to it. I'm not happy about spending a week alone with you either and I'm especially not happy about spending my Christmas with you. And I know you feel the same way.But that doesn't give you the right to start slamming doors and breaking my house. So let's just agree to not kill each other and help our weird lovesick siblings alright?"
She finally looked up at him with red eyes. W-was she-no. Impossible. "Fine. We have no other choice anyway." She dramatically pushed him out of her way as she burst back into the living room. That was really weird, even for a Cobra. Dan thought as he casually walked back into the living room.
Amy and Dan said their goodbyes with a reluctant hug from Dan that only made Amy giggle. She was going to miss him so much. They had never spent a Christmas apart. Amy and Nellie just waved goodbye with a "See you soon kiddo!" From Nellie. Natalie gave her brother a big bear hug while holding back tears that only Ian knew were there. He whispered to her, "Try not to kill the poor boy, I'm in love with his sister remember? I can't have her grieving." He earned a small smile from me as they parted. They all waved as they got in the limo to the airport and as Dan and Natalie would deal with a life changing Christmas.
