The alarm went off next to Amy's head. She groped around, trying to find the snooze button. She was very tired because she had stayed up until 2 in the morning celebrating New Year's. Her and Dan had been invited to New York city to drop the ball. She could only lay in bed for five more minutes as she had to get up to go to a book signing in Washington D.C. She had written books about her and Dan's 'escapades' as the book reviewers called it. Ever since they had won the 39 Clues and everyone found out that Amy had written the Clues books using a series of pen names, Amy had no time to be with Ian, let alone to have to herself.
It had been a year now, yet people still wouldn't leave her alone. She couldn't leave the house without at least five shouts of, "Amy! Can I have your autograph?" and once she had even been attacked by a mob of people who were in love with the 39 Clues books. So now, she had to have a bodyguard named Arnold. He was a very big and Chunky man. Just a little bigger than the Man In Black. They never did find out the Madrigal's name.
Amy's alarm went off for the second time. She got up and took a shower. After her shower she got dressed in a white denim miniskirt, a blue tank top and white sweater. She put on a pair of really cute blue ballet flats that had white trim (perfect for that outfit.) She brushed her hair so that the part was over on the right side, and blew it dry. She added her diamond earrings and Grace's necklace, which she was never seen without. She then went across the hall to wake Dan up and make sure he would get rid of his bead head. After not even five minutes of her being in Dan's room, Nellie knocked on the open door.
"Hurry up, Dan." She said "We have an eleven 'o clock plane to Washington and the book signing is at four. We need to be there by three."
Nellie had to be with them because she was their legal guardian and Amy wasn't quite eighteen yet. Well, she was hardly seventeen. They all had to go to the book signing because, even though Amy had written the books, the signings attracted larger audiences when the trio was all together. Sometimes they even invited Ian along, as lots of people liked him despite the image that the books gave him. Even though Amy loved him now, she didn't understand why other girls did just from reading about him. He did do some pretty bad things to her, but he made up for it over the years.
