Me: Dan, do the disclaimer.
Dan: Seriously, after what happens in this story?!
Me: DAN. DISCLAIMER. NOW!
Dan: Shesh, I get it already you crazy fangirl! Leah Sora-Parker does not own the 39 Clues or any of the characters, only the story idea.
Me: Thank you, now you may go. IAN!
Dan: WHAT?! This wasn't in the deal!
Me: *evil fangirl grin*What deal?
Ian: *walks in* What?
Dan: NOOOOOOO!

So seriously now, this is a DanXIan story or Dian for short! 3 I know flamers, "EEEWWWW! THAT'S DISGUSTING! My DanXWhoever pairing is soooooooo much better!" Yeah, well guess what flamers? I DON'T CARE. Thank you, good day, and continue all you ppl who aren't going to flame this.

P.S. This is an AU where it's after the whole Vesper thing and Natalie, Evan, and Alistair are still alive! And everyone lives super near to each other, so that they could all stay in touch and stuff.

Ian Kabra wouldn't say he was in love. Sure, he did have some feelings for Amy left over from Korea, but that's all they were. Feelings. Nothing more, nothing less. It wasn't like he could go out with her anyways. Not with his mother being their parents' murderer and Ian himself and his sister Natalie leaving them for dead on numerous occasions. And trying to kill them. And almost succeeding.

It wasn't like Ian wanted to have these feelings. Everyday he told himself to forget it and move on. There were plenty of girls just waiting for him to say the word and they would drop everything to go on a date with him. But those girls weren't Amy.

Forget it Ian, he told himself. It would be less painful if he did. Besides, she was having her own relationship problems with Jake and Evan. No need to add another guy in the fray. By now it was around ten, the time he usually would go over to Amy's house. Just to check in on HQ, of course. Nothing else about it.

Slipping his shoes on, Ian Kabra strolled down the lane to Amy's.

P~a~G~e~B~r~E~a~K

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Hamilton Holt asked his sisters Reagan and Madison. Reagan laughed.

"Of course!" she said. "Just imagine the looks on their faces!" Hamilton did agree, the amount of horror on Dan's face would be equal to none. It made him break into a grin.

"See!" Madison said. "You're already grinning. You just grab the Cahill and we'll grab the Cobra- I mean Kabra." She said Kabra with a roll of her eyes.

"Are you in or not?" Reagan asked. Hamilton hesitated for a second. Then: "I'm in."

"Great, you know what to do. We'll grab 'em both and stick 'em in the closet. Remember, no matter how much they plead and beg, they can't get out until they kiss. And be sure that the camera is running and in night vision before you throw them in there!"

"I know, I know. Let's get going already!"

Man, Hamilton thought to himself as he walk down the hall to Dan's room. They had arrived at HQ this morning to check up on how their parents were doing on their honeymoon. Dan is going to be so pissed at me for setting him and Natalie up. But this is so worth it!

Meanwhile, Reagan Holt was having a similar thought as she watched Ian Kabra walk up the house's drive. Amy is so going to get me for this. She might not even forgive me. So worth it!

In a different part of the house, Madison Holt was setting up the "love room." Camera? Check. Night Vision Mode? Check. Dark Room? Check. Now all that was left were the poor, unsuspecting victims.

P~a~G~e~B~r~E~a~K

Ian didn't know what hit him. Actually, he did know but he refused to admit it. 100% pure Reagan Holt slammed into him as he walked through the door and carried him off kicking and screaming to some old closet that was probably filled with dust and spiders. Or worse: Saladin. Ian tried to scream again when he thought of this but was immediately silenced by a hard hit to the stomach. He decided that being quiet was better for his health.

They arrived at their destination and Ian was thrown into an old closet like he suspected. He noted with relief that Saladin wasn't here. He sat in the dark for a while and waited. He knew he couldn't overpower the Holt twins so he would just wait for their demands. The door opened at the opposite end of the room and someone landed with a thud. Then Reagan shouted her demands at them.

"There's no getting out until you two lovebirds kiss!"

Great, Ian thought. They want me to kiss Amy. Just great.

"I don't hear any smooching in there!"

Ian sighed. Fine, he would do it. Not because he liked her or anything, he just wanted out. That's all there was to it. His eyes began to adjust to the dark and he could make out her figure. He leaned in and so did she. He just had to get this kiss over with. At the same time though, Madison Holt had brought up a very concerning point outside.

"Um... Ham, Reagan. Why did you throw Dan and Ian in there together?" she asked. Their eyes widened as they both spoke at the same time.

"I thought you meant Dan!"

"I thought you were getting Amy!"

Then: "Wait!Then are they...?!"

"Don't do it!" Hamilton cried as he threw the door open. Too late, Ian and Dan had already locked lips. Their eyes went as wide as moons as they leaped away from each other with shocked cries of:

"DAN?!"

"IAN?!"

TO BE CONTINUED...

R&R ppl, that's all I want. It would also be helpful if you DON'T FLAME. It's just a thought really. Also, Amy is in the description and will come in later. That's all, bye~
