A/N-I was getting super-bored, so I wrote this. Here goes.

Thirteen-year-old Amy Cahill looked at her grandmother. She had to do this. For her.

"G-grace?" She stammered. "You do know the Kabra's nearly killed us last year, right? And the Holts punched Dan till he was admitted into the hospital. And Sinead and her brothers have booby trapped or electrocuted us every year. I c-can't stand the idea of them c-coming", she added.

"My dear", said Grace, busy making a peanut butter and jam sandwich for Dan, "Your cousins may be a little mischievous and they may often cross the line, but they're your cousins all the same. And you're both old enough to manage them."

Amy went to her room. Ugh, why is my life so horrible?

"Oh, no", Dan groaned, as the bell rung.

Grace cheerfully skipped up to the door and opened it. Ian and Natalie Kabra had arrived.

Natalie regarded Grace's silk nightgown (which she hadn't changed out of, for some reason)with apparent disgust. Ian threw an equally disgusted look at Dan. Amy looked at him and turned red. She went into the room to change. Dan had always insisted that his sister was a love alien when it came to Ian Kabra.

Dan was sure he heard Natalie mutter something about Grace not at all living up to her name. He bit back a loud comment about Natalie's affliction to ninjas.

Then the Holts arrived. Amy had come into the drawing room by then. She showed them their room.

As every Cahill entered, Dan got more and more depressed. The next week was going to be torture.

Ian tapped on Amy's shoulder. It was time for some real entertainment.

The girl turned around, blushing furiously. "Y-y-yes?" She asked.

"I just wanted to ask you if you have caviar." Ian returned politely.

"Er, we don't", she said.

"I believe you've read Julius Caesar?" Ian asked. " I loved Brutus."

"Didn't he stab Julius on the back?" Natalie asked silkily. Ah, she was playing along.

"Er, I don't like Brutus much", Amy said. "But would you like to see my library collection? Or my favourite books? They're in my room."

This was exactly what Ian had hoped for. "Of course", he said. "I'm sure Natalie would like to come along as well."

Amy's room turned out to be neater than Ian had anticipated. Books were stacked on the shelf, the table and under the bed. Her school bag was plopped in a corner.

Ian pulled out Amy's folder, ignoring her protests. A valentine fell out. "Who's this?" Ian mocked. "E-van Toll-I-ver. Amy, I didn't know you had a boyfriend."

"I d-don't", she said.

"And an A minus in Science! No Cahill gets lesser than an A. Sinead!" he called, even though he himself had got C's many times. Ian Kabra did not like Science.

Sinead came into the room, tossing her long, auburn hair behind her. "An A minus? You're a poor excuse for a Cahill", she scoffed. "Oh, what have you got there? Pride and Prejudice? You're reading that?" Sinead laughed. "Why did we waste our time coming here?"

They ontinued to tease and rag Amy for fifteen minutes.

Amy struggled to hold back her tears. Grimacing, she left the room.

When Dan entered Amy's room, he was surprised to find it in a mess with Amy sitting in a corner, crying. He immediately put two and two together.

He stomped into Hamilton's room, where Reagan and Madison were debating whether two times two was six or eight. Hamilton, bored, was hacking into Ian's email account.

"Hey", he said, "Ian still has a bunny! And listen to this: Dear Mum, my science teacher accused me of cheating. I was, but that's beside the point. When will she go to jail?

Such a spoiled brat! And look: Mum, Daniel was telling me I was a bad ninja and Natalie said that everyone should be good ones. I didn't want to hurt my dignity so I didn't say anything, but can you teach me how to be a good ninja?"

Dan burst out laughing. Then remembering why he was here, he stopped. " Why were you teasing Amy again?"

"Me?" Ham stopped reading. "Get out, you lout. Before I punch you", he said.

"Gra-"

But Ham lunged. And Dan could only feel it getting black.

In half an hour, the house was already ruckus.

A/N-To be continued. So, yeah! How's it? And do review. Only then will I continue. And I will continue New Cahill Allies. I'm in the middle of the next chapter. Just not now.
