Hey everybody! This is my entry for KeepDreaming39's original Cliche contest! And without further a do I present All Bets Are On
Amy frowned as she prepared for the upcoming Cahill reunion. It was the same every year. The Cahills came in exactly the same order. The Holts, The Wizards, Ned and Ted Starling(since Sinead already lives there), and The Kabras. When they got there it was exactly the same routine. Dan and Natalie argued. Sinead fought with Hamilton. Ned and Ted tried to hide from Madison and Reagan. Jonah explained why everyone acted this way to Phoenix, and Amy did her best to avoid Ian. She didn't know why she just did. It wasn't like she liked him or anything…right? It was just ever since the last reunion, where they had to act like a married couple for one of Fiske's bonding activities, she felt different about him. She hated it. At least she thought she did. She heard the door bell ring and she went to go answer it. At usual it was the Holts.
"HAMMER!" Dan yelled running into the room and jumping up onto Hamilton.
"Hey little buddy!" Hamilton said hugging Dan.
"Hey Ames do you know where th…"Sinead said walking in the room, "oh great Hamilton's here."
"Be nice," Amy whispered to Sinead.
"Ok how about we make a bet," Sinead suggested, "I'll be nice to Hamilton if you tell Ian you like him."
Amy began to blush fiercely.
"I don't like Ian," Amy said.
"Oh come on Amy," Sinead said smirking, "I saw how you two were acting at the last reunion."
"Well yea," Amy agreed, "but that was because Fiske made us act like a married couple it's not like I actually like him."
"Mmmhmm," Sinead said disbelievingly, "well I guess I'll just go fight with Hamilton then."
"Sinead," Amy whined.
"What?" Sinead asked innocently.
"Fine," Amy grumbled, "if you don't fight with Hamilton then I'll tell Ian I like him."
"It's a bet," Sinead said smirking, "and besides you got the easy end of the bet I have to somehow avoid fighting with Hamilton Holt."
"Oh come on Sinead," Amy said, "he's really not that bad."
"Yea and neither is Ian," Sinead said smirking.
Amy scowled and she and Sinead walked back into the living room. When they got back into the living room the Wizards, and Ned and Ted had already gotten there. That only left one more family. Amy gulped. There's was a knock on the door. Sinead nudged Amy and Amy walked slowly to go open the door. Amy opened the door and saw a bored looking Natalie and a distracted Ian.
"C-come in," Amy said cursing her stutter.
As Natalie stopes inside Dan ran and hid behind the recliner.
"Hide everyone!" Dan yelled, "it's Cobras!"
"How very childish of you Daniel," Natalie said rolling her eyes.
"How very bratty of you Natalie," Dan said mocking Natalie's accent.
"Shut up Daniel," Natalie snapped.
"It's Dan, Cobra!" Dan yelled.
"It's Kabra, Daniel!" Natalie retorted.
"British Brat!" Dan yelled teasingly.
"Stupid American git!" Natalie yelled furiously.
"Guys!" Amy yelled interrupting the two.
Dan and Natalie stopped arguing and looked at Amy. Everyone else in the room turned to look at Amy too. Amy blushed from all of the attention. Ian finally looked up from his cell phone to direct his attention to Amy like everyone else in the room which made Amy blush even more.
"I-I'm gonna go g-get everybody some snacks from the kitchen," Amy said turning to leave.
Sinead began to cough and clear her throat. She looked at Amy who's eyes were pleading.
"Sinead are you alright?" Ian asked.
Amy couldn't believe it but she was actually jealous of Ian's concern for Ian. What is wrong with me?
"I'm fine Ian," Sinead said smiling at Amy, "I was just making sure Amy didn't want me to go get the snacks."
"I'm fine Sinead," Amy said through gritted teeth.
"Oh but I insist," Sinead said, "everyone can go back to their arguing and you can talk to Ian since he's the only person not arguing with anyone."
Before Amy could protest Sinead ran out of the room into the kitchen. Oh great, now that meant she had to talk to Ian.
"Love?" A voice asked from behind her.
Amy spun around and saw Ian standing behind her.
"I told you not to call me that," Amy said annoyed.
"Right sorry," Ian said.
Amy and Ian stood in an awkward silence. Amy was confused. After she told him not to call her he usually just called her that again and again until she gave up. This was going to be a long reunion. She might as well tell him and get it over with.
"Ian," Amy said nervously, "there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it Love?" Ian asked smirking.
Amy rolled her eyes. He was not making this easy.
"Welll… I," Amy began.
"Good Afternoon Cahills," Fiske's booming voice interrupted from over the houses intercom, "welcome to the 3rd annual Cahill reunion. I would like all cahills to meet me in the command center immediately for further instructions. That is all."
All of the cahills rushed upstairs to the command center.
"You can tell me later love," Ian said kissing Amy's cheek and hurrying to join the others.
Amy was left alone in the living room. Somehow she was more confused than she'd been earlier.
"This is going to be a loooong reunion," Amy thought.
Amy hurried up the stairs and joined the others in the command center.
Authors Note
Well that's chapter one. I think there's going to be at least 3 chapters together, maybe 4.
