A/N: Hey, guys! Had this idea when it snowed for the first time this winter a few days ago and my siblings started freaking out. I stayed inside with hot chocolate and my computer, and this appeared! This story was a request from TheUltimateArtist. It'll have 3 chapters. Pure Amian, mostly cliche, but hey, that's what I felt like writing :P I read it to my sister (she's my judgemental editor for the time being) and she had nothing to say to me, so I'm anxious to see how it goes :) So, here it is!

Disclaimer: Snow makes everything beautiful, until it turns mushy and the ground gets all gross, so I don't own it OR The 39 Clues. Sadly.


First Snow: Part 1

Amy Cahill's eyes flew open at the sound of someone running hurriedly down the hallway. Before she could begin to sit up in bed and figure out what was going on, she heard her brother's voice down the hallway, opening people's bedroom doors.

"Jonah, wake up! It's snowing!" Dan shouted. Jonah's door was shut, and another was opened.

"Cobra! Wake up like a normal person! The snow has finally arrived!"

Slam.

"Ham, my man, it's the most wonderful time of the year!"

Slam.

Amy groaned, sitting up and rubbing her temples, feeling the small start of a monster headache. She knew her brother was only a few doors away from her own. She heard one of the Holt twins throw something at him, and Dan shut the door before it hit him. The object shattered against the wood.

Her bedroom door flew open, and she glared at Dan's excited face.

"Amy, it's – "

"I know it's snowing!" she snapped. "Now close the door!"

Dan shrugged and pulled the door shut.

Amy laid back down, closing her eyes in one last futile attempt to fall back asleep.

After a few minutes, the wondrous smell of Nellie's pancakes wafted around her head.

She might as well give up now.

She dragged herself out of bed, ran a brush through her hair, changed clothes, and opened her door. Her first step into the hallway caused her to run into someone.

"Are you as annoyed by your brother as I am?" Ian Kabra asked groggily. His eyelids were still closed, as if he were sleepwalking. His hair was messed up, and he was still in his pajamas: A white shirt and red pants. Amy thought the sight was quite comical – Ian would never present himself to the public like this on purpose.

"I'm never not annoyed," she replied, starting to walk toward the kitchen.

Ian looked confused, as if he couldn't process what she'd just said. "Wait…what…?"

Amy gave a small laugh, her attention completely on the breakfast that awaited them. "Come on. Food will wake you up."

Ian gave a drowsy grunt of approval and let himself be led to the kitchen. Once he hit the wall of pancake smell, he opened his eyes a bit more.

"I think we've been away from your cooking too long, Nora," Ian said, leaning against the counter.

"Uh huh," Nellie said, flipping pancakes in the skillet. "Maybe if you learn my name, we'll let you come over more often."

Dan, meanwhile, was scarfing down his pancakes like this was his last meal. "Hamilton," he said, his mouth full of food, "we have to have a snowball fight."

"Absolutely," Hamilton said, also shoveling mouthfuls.

"Please, Hamilton, Daniel, swallow. Then you can talk," Natalie said, flicking pancake bits off of her shirt.

"Sorry, Nat," the two said at the same time.

At Natalie's glare, Dan swallowed and added quickly, "When you start calling me by my preferred name, I'll return the favor."

Natalie shrugged and daintily began eating again.

Amy brought her plate over to the table and sat down, grinning for no reason. Sometimes, the smallest arguments could be the most entertaining, especially between Dan and Natalie. The two had matured slightly since the Clue Hunt (Natalie more so than Dan), but that didn't stop them from bickering, given the opportunity.

She surveyed all of her relatives gathered around the table. Ian looked like he had fallen back asleep, his head resting against the cabinet. The Holt twins, Madison and Reagan, were discussing something in hushed whispers. Hamilton and Dan were talking excitedly about the snowball fight they were planning on having later that day. Natalie was talking with Nellie, confirming that her name was, in fact, Nellie, and not something else, like Nancy or Nina. Jonah was the only one not talking to anyone or deep in thought. He just sat there, contently eating his pancakes. And this scene, this view of all her family members, not poisoning each other or stealing or, in some cases, killing, made Amy smile. This was her family, and she enjoyed their company.

Most of the time.

Jonah reached over and tapped Ian on the shoulder. He didn't so much as twitch his arm.

Jonah poked him harder. Still no response.

The Wizard got out of his seat, walked over to the sleeping British boy, and slapped him across the face.

Ian jumped up, his fist moving full force toward Jonah's face. But Amy was already up and moving, determined not to let this peaceful-for-once breakfast go up in flames.

Amy grabbed Ian's hand just as it was about to make contact with Jonah's nose.

Everyone else in the room grew silent.

"Whoa, sis," Dan breathed. "Since when did you raise to Ninja Lord status?"

Amy's fingers tightened around Ian's wrist as he fully woke up, realizing what he'd almost done. Her eyes were narrowed at him, almost like she was daring him to use his strength further. Those intense green eyes, locked on him… He dropped his arm and sighed.

"Sorry," he said. "Reflex."

Jonah grinned, still looking a bit shaken up, but said, "S'okay, cuz. I kinda started it."

Ian nodded and said nothing.

Dan stood up, dumping his empty plate in the sink, and put his hands together. "Well, it looks like everyone's awake now, so…who wants to have a snowball fight?"

"How 'bout later," Hamilton said. "I know, I know, but I got stuff to do beforehand."

Dan sighed, clearly bummed. "Alright. We'll do it later."


PREPARE FOR THE AMIAN! :D

It will come...I don't know. Either later today, or tomorrow. IT DEPENDS ON HOW FAST I GET REVIEWS!

It seems kind of selfish of me, but hey, reviews boost morale and motivate the author, in case you didn't know ;) So press the big blue button!
