I do not own anything except this plot and few other people.
In the Cahill mansion, Dan and Amy were fighting over the T.V remote. Dan wanted to watch the "Ninja Show" whereas Amy wanted to watch "Interview of the Authors." Nellie was half-listening to her I-pod and half-trying to break the fight. Saladin was glaring at the little Evamy the dog, named after Evan and Amy. Everything was normal. Until, the phone rang.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING…
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING…
Dan, Amy and Nellie raced for the phone. Nellie picked up the phone.
"Wazzup, Cahill residence"
"Hello Nellie."
"Fiske!" At the name, the sibling stopped fidgeting with the remote and paid attention. They could hear a muffled sound and Nellie going "What?" "Why?" or "OK." These sign didn't look very good, thought Dan. Then, Nellie put down the phone.
"We've got problem Kiddos" she announced. Before Dan could say anything Nellie continued "Quickly run up and pack your bags. No more than 2 suitcases each. We are going to London" She glanced at Amy "at the Kabra residence for 2 weeks."
Dan's POV
My mouth fell open. And I knew Amy's did too. We were going to the Kabras' mansion! That was the last place I wanted to go to. I was shocked. And I think Amy was too.
"But… but… but Nellie why are we g-g-going to the Kab-Kabras'?" asked Amy definitely shocked.
"For a crazy Cahill reunion" replied Nellie "Now go pack your bags." She must've seen the look on my face because she said "Dan, no more questions until you pack your bags and get dressed. And dress in formal attire. Like a suit for you and dress for Amy. You have 15 minutes. Let's see if you can be as quick as a ninja."
That last sentence did it. I ran off leaving Amy open and close her mouth like a fish. I could hear her asking Nellie why they weren't have a usual reunion in our house. Nellie said she wasn't going to reply until we both get ready and come down.
I went to my room. I quickly found a wrinkly suit from last month's farewell. I took it out and asked Rosy our maid to iron it. Then I went in the shower and as soon as the water wet me, came running out. I dressed up in my now clean suit and did some final touches. I stuffed like 4 pair of pants, 4 T-shirts, few socks, 1 jacket, 2 books I wanted to read about ninjas, my prank box and few packets of chips. (The Kabras don't eat them.)
I looked at the watch. I still had 4 and ½ minutes to go. Contended I sat down at the living room sofa and waited for the girls to come out.
Amy's POV
My mouth fell open just 2 seconds after Dan's. This couldn't be happening. I possibly can't go the Kabra's mansion… can I? Not after what happened during the hunt. How Isabel tried to kill me and Dan numerous times. How Natalie sneered at me every time she saw me and most of all how Ian acted like he loved me, took my heart and then stepped on it and left it to break into 1000 pieces. I can't possibly live with those… animals.
Dan raced up to his room after Nellie said something. This couldn't be happening. If we had to have a reunion why not have it at our house? I asked Nellie but she wouldn't answer me until I packed up. I went up to my room feeling numb, horrified, hatred, angry and… excited? I had quick shower and then dressed up in my emerald ball gown. I was beautiful with long and short edges. At least, I thought Natalie will like it. Then I let my wavy red hair fall into my back.
I packed few clothes, books and other necessities. Barely knowing what I was doing I went down to see Dan impatiently walking around and Nellie in her I-POD. I was 2 minutes late. I saw a Limo parked outside the house belonging to Fiske. I cursed the reunion and sat in the 45 minutes drive to the airport of Boston.
Hamilton's POV
I was sweaty. Sweaty and smelly and wet but not tired. I had been running around the block for 4 hours now. Still, I wasn't tired for two reasons. 1) My dad would literally kill me if I was and 2) Holts never got tired. Just as I was thinking about all of this the phone rang. My mum, Mary-Todd picked it up. After few exclamations she cut the phone.
"Well my children" she said looking at Reagan and Madison. The changed her mind. "Reagan, Madison and Hamilton. Dress up in gowns and suit. Then, quickly go and pack your bags. One two suitcases for each of you. You are going to London –-"this brought some cheers "to the Kabras" this brought some cheers as well- cheers of disappointment.
I raced to my room to do my bidding. I packed 2 pairs of track suit, one t-shirt and one pant, few socks, 2 dumbbells and few hats. Then it was the bad part. I, Hamilton Holt, had to wear suit. Ugh! The agony of being trapped in a suit unable to run or jog was unbearable. I tried not to think of it as I put on the suit.
As soon as I came outside I could see Reagan and Madison were not too thrilled to be wearing a gown either. In fact, it got worse when then had to wear high heels. I grinned at them and they scowled back at me. I wasn't too worried about this reunion. The only thing bugging me was that Sinead was going to be there. I tried to shake it off. I mean I have a girlfriend now. Why should I worry about Sinead of all people?
Sinead's POV
I was looking at all the poison I had stacked in my bedroom. Looking at them made me sick. But then they also made me excited. I had to get them ready for my next experiment. I was thinking about this when the phone rang and made me jump up a mile.
"Hello, Starling residence. Sinead speaking."
"Ah Sinead." said the voice from the other end which I recognized as Fiske's "I was hoping you'd pick up the phone."
"Fiske?"
"Why, of course. I have to tell you an important massage. Are you ready?"
"Yes, Fiske. I am." I replied a little impatient.
"Well, I want you triplets to quickly pack up two suitcases each. In fifteen minutes, a limo will be waiting for you outside your house. Dress up in gown and suits. Oh and don't forget warm jumpers and jackets. You are going to the Kabras at London. Any questions?"
"Um… I was well… doing my experiments. Can I not come?" I knew it was a feeble but true excuse. Cahill reunions were always crazy. I specially did not want to see Hamilton.
"No. You can do it at the Kabras'. You, along with all other clue hunters are staying for 2 weeks. Well, see you there."
I slumped back in my sofa and called my brothers to announce this dreadful news. They were not so horrified.
Ian's POV
I was walking up to my room after a day of school. I needed some rest. Today was my first day of school. Fiske had insisted on me going to public school so that I could interact with other children. God knows why? I mean, they are such peasants. They eat this- this unthinkably disgusting food called hamburger. It is so greasy and oily that looking at that made me want to throw up. Natalie looked like she might cry though right now she is in her room in the luxurious company of her servants.
"Why did this happen?" he wondered out loud. "Why Amy, why?" he asked again look at the portrait of Amy beside his bed. He wanted right now for her to come flowing from the portrait with her red hair and jade eyes. He wanted her to so badly hold his hands and comfort him saying this was a dream and that she loved him even though no one else did. He really wanted her to say that he didn't have to go to the school after all and through the constant complaining of Natalie.
But, then again, who was he kidding? Amy was never his. Well, maybe she was but he put a stop to it while at Korea. She definitely isn't his now. She had a boyfriend, some Tolliver creep. Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up.
"Hello, Ian Kabra speaking" I answered to the phone
"Ian. This is Fiske here."
"Yes Fiske I realized that."
"Well, anyway I just called to tell you your ball today will also host the Cahills that made it to the Gauntlet. All the preparations have been made. They will arrive in 5 hours. I'll tell Natalie about this. After the ball finishes, the Cahills will stay at your house—"
"Mansion"
"mansion for 2 weeks. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Fiske."
"Bye Ian."
I sighed and put the phone down. This was not going to be good. I mean, so many Cahills under one roof is definitely not good. But at the same time, I was VERY excited and nervous to see a certain red-headed and green-eyed girl.
Natalie's POV
I was sitting in my room, with Miranda and Maggie doing my hair. Sally and Angeline were polishing my nails in my hands. Gabrielle and Mya were polishing my nails in my feet. Destiny was applying make-up on my face. Chelsea was picking an outfit for me to wear. Just as I was enjoying my comfort the phone rang. Chelsea picked it up.
"Hello, Kabra Residence, Natalie Kabra's Household."
"Can I speak to Natalie Kabra please?"
"Can I know who I am talking to sir?"
"Fiske"
"Hold on a minute sir while I get madam Kabra on line." As soon as she said this, Chelsea came up to me.
"Ma'am. There is a man, sounded old—"
"Get to the point Chelsea." I snapped annoyed.
"Yes, Ma'am. There is a man called Fiske on the line and he wants to talk to you."
I sighed. Then I motioned for my maids to go out so I can talk in private. After I was sure they went, I talked to the phone.
"Hullo, Fiske. How are you doing?"
"I am fine thank you Natalie. I just wanted to tell you some, ah, interesting news. You remember the ball you are hosting today Natalie?"
"Of course, I was actually getting prepared for it. I mean 2,387 people are coming—"
"I'm afraid there's been a change of plans, Natalie. 11 more people are coming. They are all Cahills, the ones that made it into the Gauntlet. If you need to ask anything, you can contact Ian. I've filled him in with everything." And then, he hung up.
I sighed and called Ian to see what else I needed to know.
Ned's POV
I was intrigued. Ted and I were trying making a blueprint for everyone we knew. It was a long process we knew, but it is still fun. Then, I hear Sinead calling Ted and I. Seconds later, she appears.
"Ted, Ned go pack up. We are going to the Kabra's for 2 weeks. Apparently they are hosting a ball today when we arrive there so go and dress up in gowns."
We looked at each other, shrugged and went away to dress. Both Ted and I wore a black suit with white shirt inside. After that we came out. Sinead was wearing a lovely red dress that was strapless. She had a red velvet leather jacket, red leather high heels, red shiny earrings and white gloves half way up her hand. Her hair flowed behind her. She looked lovely.
"Sinead, I swear if I was a not your sister and had not knew how annoying you were, I would have fallen for you right now!" Ted exclaimed.
She laughed.
"Come on. You don't look that bad either. We need to go." She said. And, off we went!
Ted's POV
Sinead, Ned and I got into the car. Then, my phone vibrated and I just knew it was Argen, my girlfriend. It felt weird really, to have a girlfriend. Sinead, Ted and I were born together. We grew up together, went to same school and had every single dinner together. Yet, right now I was the only one of us triplets that had a girlfriend (or a boyfriend.)
I looked at my phone. Sure enough, it was Argen and she just sent me a message. It read- "How are you dear? I haven't seen you for like 17 hours! I am going to England tomorrow, so we won't be able to meet for like 1 more month. Let's have another date today, if you are ok with this"
I sighed. As much as I'd like to I couldn't. But then, I realized something! She was coming to England! My destination! I was just about to reply this back to her when Ned stopped me.
"Don't!" he said. That caught me back a little. As I was just about to ask him what he meant he spoke again.
"Don't send her a message saying that you are going to pick her up in England. Think about how surprised she will be when you go there as a surprise!" I thought about it. I figured he was correct. Then, a thought struck me.
"Ned, you are smart, good-looking, kind and everything else I am. I know that more than 9 girls have a major crush on you. They've asked you out. But then how come you never date them or even look at them? It's almost as if you are occupied" I concluded. It was true. It was also the only secret he had kept from me.
Ned looked at me smiled a sad smiled. It wasn't depressing, neither was it disturbing. It was just plain sad. Believe me when I say I know what sad means. I am an Ekaterina. I have literally memorized a whole dictionary.
"It's because I am Ted." He stated. Sinead and I looked at him, our mouth agape.
Madison's POV
Ham actually grinned at us! We obviously, scowled back. Then, we had to get in the limo. Hamilton, Regan and I raced all the way to the limo. Hamilton fell down twice and so did Regan. I, on the other hand fell about 5 times. These heels were killing me! Hamilton got to the car first. He sat down just after Regan did. Then, I got in. Regan was sitting in my gown that threatened to rip apart. Hamilton was sitting on hers.
"Ham, get off my gown!" Reagan whined.
"Reagan, get of mine too" I shot at her.
That started frenzy until the chauffeur cleared his throat. We automatically shut up.
"Ma'am and sir, I need you to sit quietly. Ma'am, if you need more room, tucker up your gown and sit peacefully. I hope you enjoy your travel." He said and turned around. I saw a look of disgust cross his face and sighed. It really was hard being a Holt and inexperienced with gowns and parties. And that is when I noticed the car of the Slingstars.
Regan's POV
Madison was looking outside her face all weird. Then, I saw what she was looking at. It was the Slingstars. I mentally cursed them. I hate them. The Slingstars are also Tomas. They have 3 kids too. 2 boys and a girl. The older girl, Ainsed was Ham's girlfriend. The boys, twins, Netar and Detar were so annoying. Nevertheless, Netar was Madi's boyfriend. Detar was constantly trying to flirt with me!
But, I would have none of that. I loved someone. Someone who was a genius, 4 years older than me and will never like me I heard, he even had a girlfriend. Still, I loved him.
We followed Slingstars all the way to the airport. Then, Detar saw me.
"Regan, you are here! What are you doing here?"
Then, Netar and Ainsed noticed us. More likely, they noticed Hamilton and Madison. Ainsed came over and kissed Hamilton on the cheeks. Madison went over and kissed Netar on the cheeks too. I nearly gagged. Detar crept from behind me.
"Where's my kiss?" he demanded. I glared at him and he shrank back. I mean, I was still a Holt even though I was dressed up in gown.
"Get lost, Deter." I said and then added "If you want to live."
He went off muttering about rude and all. But I wasn't listening. I just that they were on the same plane as us. Across an aisle. Ham was just talking about it! Now, obviously Ham and Ainsed were going to sit together and so were Netar and Madi. So that meant, I was next to Detar for few hours! God save me.
Jonah's POV
I looked around. I was up in a stage. I had my concert going on right now. Any second I had to sing. But, hey I wasn't nervous! I've done this thing like a million times before! I looked at my audience. I could see my dad, my aunt and my cuz Phoenix. He winked at me and I winked back. My dad gave me thumbs up and I flashed my famous grin around. My fans screamed.
I started to sing. I sang and sang and sang and sang. I just finished my 5th song. I had to rest now. Or so I thought. As soon as I got off stage and started to walk down the aisle, girls streamed down me and leaped on me.
I flashed each of them my grin and signed their hand, face or lips. Then, I got tired of that. I sat down at the chair and about 20 guards were trying to block girls from streaming to where I was. Then, a guy dressed up in suit came. He smiled at me. I smiled back. Few seconds later, a guard came up to me and said-
"Sir, you have a guest. He says he is an Alrigmad. He also said that it is very important for you to meet him. He has orders from Fiske Cahill."
"Let him in. He's ma homie."
So the man came in. He told me that me and Phoenix had to go to the Kabra's for 2 weeks and had to dress up in suits and all that. I didn't hear the rest. Because, after singing 5 songs in front of all those people, I was actually nervous!
Hey! Please rate and review. It's my first fanfic so please do review. I will be grateful! Maybe next time I should add Phoenix's POV as well. What do you think? Please give me your opinion so that I can improve! Oh and, have you noticed that all the gf and bf of character are anagram of some other characters that they should be with. i.e. ted is with a-r-g-e-n which is r-e-g-a-n too!
