Hey guys! I'm new at FanFiction and this is my first story! So cut me some slack! And now you can start reading my story! (It would be nice if you welcomed me…)

Disclaimer: I don't own the 39 Clues. Duh!

Amy's POV

Today was the last day of school! After today, I won't be a freshman, but a sophomore! How cool was that? Wow, now I sound like Dan. Anyways I couldn't wait for summer to start! Just thinking about sitting at the beach, sipping ice cold lemonade made me sigh with happinesss. Ahhh…

Suddenly, Dan bounded into my room, yelling like he was chasing a ninja.

"YESS! Today is the last day of school! FREEDOM!"

He shot out of my room, crashed into the wall, and fell onto the floor. He blinked three times, got up, continued yelling, and sprinted down to the kitchen.

"Dweeb," I muttered, shaking my head.

I came back from school and opened the door just to find the house a mess. Suddenly, I saw a spot of Nellie's crazy turquoise, orange, and magenta hair and Saladin's majestic silver fur.

"HIII AMYYYYY! HELPPP MEEEE CATCHHHH SALADINNN!" Nellie shouted.

I started running around our house, trying to catch the cat. I ran around the library, study, and kitchen when I finally caught him in the living room. Nellie and I were both panting.

"Thanks, kiddo. Saladin was introduced to the coffee beans in Dan's room. He went high on them and knocked over the dressing table. That made the bookshelf fall onto the table. So now, we need your Uncle Fiske to call people over to clean this up," she explained.

"Okay, Nellie," I answered.

She went off to wash Saladin off because he had collided with his milk bowl.

"I'm home!" Dan yelled, dropping his backpack in the middle of the mess.

"No way, mister! Pick it up! Just because you are now in 7th grade doesn't mean you're the king of the house!"

"You mean ninja."

"Whatever."

Dan huffed, picked his backpack up and trudged upstairs. Right when I was about to go to my room, the phone rang.

"Hello?" I said, picking it up.

"Yo cuz!" a voice I hadn't heard for a while shouted.

"Oh hi, Jonah. How are you?" I asked, feeling confused about why he called.

"Hey, Amy! What's the haps? So, today, in an hour, a plane will come at the Madrigal airport to pick you, Dan, Nellie, and, of course, Saladin up. I'm having a beach party with all my clue hunt peeps!" he explained.

I sighed and shook my head. It was typical of Jonah to give such a late notice. On the other hand, I thought it was thoughtful of him to invite us for a beach party.

"It'll be in California, so pack clothes for warm weather! We'll be there for a week."

"Wow! Thanks Jonah! That's really nice of you to invite us! So I guess I'll see you later."

"Yeah. Bye!"

"Bye." I put down the phone and rushed off to tell Nellie and Dan the great news.

Nellie, Dan, Saladin, and I stood at the Madrigal airport, waiting for Jonah's plane. I was so excited to go to the beach! I was finally going to see everyone again! Even though we are all Madrigals, I haven't seen the Holts, Starlings, or Kabras in such a long time.

And then it dawned on me: I was going to see Ian again.

So…How was my first story? I think Amy was a little OOC. I hope you guys like it!

Is it too short, too boring, too…un-original?

If you liked it or not, REVIEW so I know what to make better. Please…
