Amy Cahill was preparing for the reunion that Fiske had planned for the younger Cahill generation. He was working on a surprise and wouldn't tell them what it was when Dan or she asked questions about it. Just by the way he was acting, they were in for a huge surprise.

Amy was just finishing her chores when Dan stepped into the kitchen and took out some cereal to eat for lunch.

"Isn't cereal it a little late for lunch?" Amy asked, a confused look evident on her face as he ate his cereal not making a big deal about it whatsoever.

"What? I can't enjoy having a breakfast meal for lunch?" Dan responded.

Amy rolled her eyes. "No, I didn't say that! But I think that you should be preparing for the reunion like Fiske told you to do," she stated, pointing out her brother's refusal to help, ending in her doing everything to prepare. Like always.

Just then, the siblings both realized something. They realized that Nellie, their now legal guardian, had been absent the entire time. Normally she would be cooking something up in the kitchen.

"Where's Nellie?" Dan wondered, taking note on her strange absences and the fact that whenever she was there, she wouldn't explain anything about it or would abruptly change the subject.

"I honestly don't know. Maybe at a meeting with Fiske? I've seen them having secret conversations together lately," Amy said.

For the past couple of days, Fiske and Nellie were having quiet conversations together and would change the topic whenever Amy and Dan approach them. Amy could tell they were talking about the huge surprise that they arranged for the reunion and didn't want them to know because they wanted to tell the entire family together.

"How big is the surprise? It must be huge if they can't even tell US!" Amy thought silently, contemplating the entire thing in her head. Are they taking us somewhere? Are they making a huge celebration? Amy started making many predictions in her head, but gave up and decided to ask Nellie later.

Dan on the other hand, daydreamed about what the plan could be. "What's going on? Are we going somewhere fun? Is it a vacation? I wonder if were going to a ninja convention?" Dan made many guesses and opinions but his train of thoughts were broken when Nellie walked in the room.

"Hey, kiddos," Nellie said. "Ready for the reunion?"

"Yeah," Amy replied, "What's the surprise that you and Fiske were talking about for the past couple of days?"

Nellie tensed up, not knowing how to tell them without spoiling the entire reunion. She decided to lead the subject to something else other the "huge surprise." "So how was your morning so far?" Nellie asked nervously, hoping that they would talk about their day and that they wouldn't press her on the subject for too long. But neither of them bought the cover-up that she had attempted to create.

"You didn't answer the question," Dan pointed out. "What is it?"

Okay, how am I going to explain this in the most discreet way possible? Nellie thought as the pair were waiting for an answer, their patience deteriorating.

"Well what's going on is that your uncle was making a plan to make the reunion different and take you guys somewhere instead of staying in the mansion for the entire time.." Nellie explained, trying not to let too many details slip through.

"And?"

Before Nelle can answer, Sinead walked in last minute to see if anyone was there. She decided to visit the Cahills early. "Guess the explaining would have to wait." Nellie thought, pleased with the fact that she wasn't under pressure anymore.

"Good morning! How are things going?" Sinead exclaimed, being in a good mood but was short lived when she saw that something was up. "Don't tell me that there's another reunion happening." she said, shuddering about what happened the last time they had a reunion and it ended badly, which included Dan and his attempts of trying to be a ninja and tried to throw a shuriken, which made a huge dent on the wall and nearly slashed Natalie, which ended with her threatening to sue and everyone restraining her from attacking him for almost killing her. Then there was Hamilton who tampered with Sinead's projects which almost burned down the house and she was still holding a grudge against him for destroying her objects which took a long time to rebuild. So, Sinead was reluctant to have another reunion, afraid of worse things occurring.

The others looked at each other. "Yes, there's another reunion happening." Amy informed her, anxious for what her reaction would be.

"And everyone is going to be there, even the Cobras", Dan added, not excited about seeing his relatives, especially the Kabras. He wouldn't admit it, but he's scared to see Natalie again, after what happened last reunion. He was relieved that everyone was there, or else... he didn't want to think about what would happened if they were alone.

"Okay, anything else?" Sinead asked, hoping to get over the dreading fact that the others are coming to visit again.

"There's a surprise in the reunion but she won't tell us", Dan pointed out accusingly at Nellie.

"Really, what surprise?", she wondered, thinking that it might make a huge difference for this reunion.

"Oh, great not again" Nellie thought again, now having to explain herself. "Well, it's probally best if Fiske explains it, he's actually the one planning it" she admitted, hoping that it would be enough.

"So when's he going to tell us?" Amy questions.

"When the others get here" Nellie replies.

"Oh." They ran out of things to talk about and an awkward silence filled the room until they heard the door bell ring. A signal that their relatives have finally arrived. As they prepare to go and welcome them, little did they know, they were in for a surprise that may change their lives forever.

Well, I hope you like how it's going so far. I actually started this nearly two years ago and I took a break from fanfiction since well, it's high school and it's not easy. Now I'm back and about to edit & publish my first fanfic ever. Anyways, read and review and I'll update soon.

Yours truly, N

P.S. Where do you think the Cahills are going? I wanna know what you think :p
