It's been two years since the hunt for the 39 clues. Amy and Dan won. Nellie, who is now 22, adopted them to save them from Social Security. Dan is now 13 and Amy is 16, they live in Grace's old estate but they've built a new mansion, of course. Ian and Amy finally both realized their feelings for each other and are now dating.

Amy: you forgot the disclaimer…

Madeleine421: oh yeah…you do it…

Amy: Madeleine421 does not own the 39 clues or any of the designer labels in this story

Madeleine421: my cousin thinks your brother's cute

Amy: really? Weird…

Madeleine421: she's a Lucian

Chapter 1 Dan's friend who's a girl

Dear diary,

Ian is being absolutely awful. Why does he have to drag me to Boston too? Who cares if he wants me to like Amy too, I don't! Besides, Daniel Cahill will be there too, ew! Him and his stupid ninjas. Ian is being a fool, so what if she's now even richer and more famous than us? (which is the ony reason mother and father allow him to date her anyway) Deep down inside Amy and Daniel are still the same orphans, a nerd and a dweeb.

Moving on to even more depressing subjects, mother is leaving for Italy again and father's in Austria, even though the hunt for the clues is over they still have businesses to run.

However, my day hasn't been all that bad, I got the latest from Armani, a Versace cocktail dress and a custom made pair of Louis Vuitton shades. Aside from that, my Vera Wang evening gown for tomorrow night's ball is ready. Oh but I forgot to mention that I am no longer attending the ball and all because Ian drags me off to Boston! Well, a gown so beautiful must not be wasted; I suppose I must attend the private Cahills-only ball, coincidentally in Boston as well (hmmm…I wonder if Ian has anything to do about that?). Good bye for now, and goodnight.

Hugs and kisses,

Natalie

Dan's pov

I knew I would regret the day Natalie Kabra would step foot in our house, but I had to welcome them in because Amy wanted everything to be so perfect for Ian (what does she see in that jerk?). Now I had to put up with two Kabras instead of just one. Why couldn't Ian just leave Natalie at least?

Third person pov

Emily Greene saw Dan's pained expression as Amy explained that the Kabras would be coming. Emily had not met the Kabras before, she had just heard of them (after all, who has never heard of the gorgeous Kabra siblings?) She had heard stories of their vileness from Dan and she had a preconceived idea of Ian as a manipulative jerk and of Natalie as a shrill spoiled brat. Of course she did realize that her ideas may be prejudiced since Dan does really hate the Kabras and she has been his best friend since last year, even though she isn't rich or famous. Plus, Amy is usually a good judge of character so if she's dating Ian then he mustn't be all that bad. Still, Emily put a consoling hand on Dan's shoulder and smiled.

Natalie pov

Our private jet landed in Boston and we were taken to the Cahill Estate via stretch limo (no big deal though). As soon as the limo stopped Ian climbed out and gave a surprised Amy a hug that showed how much he missed her. I took my time, adjusting my skirt, blouse and hair. I daintily stepped off of the vehicle and put on a poker face. I wouldn't be impressed no matter how huge the Estate is. However, it was not the estate that practically slapped my poker face off, neither was it the (cheesy) fact that Ian and Amy where now clinging on to each other for dear life (absolutely vile).

When I saw him, I was impressed. Time had been kind to Daniel Cahill. He was now much taller than I expected and he no longer looked like an annoying little kid. In fact, he even had a girl beside him; tall, slender and kind of pretty in a way, she was nothing compared to what time had done to me. Dan looked at me sardonically. We obviously had the same questions in our heads: What am I doing here and why did Ian have to bring me along?

Dan's pov

Natalie got out of the car slowly, (ha! As expected, she is still so vain). The moment our eyes locked I could see wonder in them, then it turned into a sort of probing look. Was she looking for the Dan two years ago who she could easily point a gun at? Let her point a gun at me one more time (I gave her a mocking look that said what are you doing here?). Then her eyes flipped to Emily then back to me. She seemed to be calculating her chances of survival (what a Lucian).

After I contemplated how much I hated her, I gave her a long look. She was even more mesmerizingly beautiful, I admit. Her black hair cascaded down up to her slim waist, her skin was as flawless as before and her face still tantalizing yet intimidating in a way. She was also a lot taller now, but she still wasn't at eye level to me, she had to tilt her head up slightly.

Third person pov

Natalie stepped closer to Dan, and gave him a long hard look with amazing eye-contact. She seemed to convey an intimidating message: Don't mess with me. Dan, however, was unfazed. He continued to smile at her sarcastically: Ooh! I'm so scared! This mental exchange of words passed between them briefly and soon Natalie turned on her heels (literally…Gucci) and followed Ian and Amy into the house.

Nellie sighed reminiscently and gave Dan a laughing smile.

Emily pov

I felt a tinge of concern (and jealousy?) as I saw how Dan seemed to look fondly at the dazzling girl (a.k.a Natalie Kabra) as if he had a secret or that he was enjoying her visit more than he let on. Why, I would never know. I had never felt anything more than friendly love for Dan, until Natalie Kabra showed up. I swore never to let her get in the way of our friendship. Still, I felt a bit hurt as Dan looked smilingly after Natalie like he was remembering the "good ole days". I dismissed this thought. I was, after all, his best friend, right? Why should I be jealous?

I sighed mentally, this was gonna be two very long weeks. And a lot can happen in two weeks, I added.

Natalie pov

The butler took me to my room. It was huge, probably about as big as my actual room in London. The butler carefully laid my suitcases in the walk in closet saying that he would arrange my clothes for me if I wished but that I was free to arrange them for myself. I told him to just leave the suitcases there.

I looked out the large window that almost took up an entire wall. Its long heavy drapes where tied so they didn't obstruct my view. The large estate was absolutely gorgeous, even when it was Grace Cahill who lived here, I had always loved it. The sun was setting; casting a spectacular pinkish-orange glow on the garden and making the trees look like dark silhouettes against the burning sky. I saw two dark figures beside the sparkling cherry-pink pond. One was obviously a boy, the other a girl. I thought at first that they might be Ian and Amy, enjoying a romantic stroll around the garden (at sunset too), but then the shadows were shaped differently. With a jolt of sudden unknown emotion I suddenly knew who the two figures where. They were Dan and Emily, conversing under a tree in the garden at sunset.

Well? How was it? My first real fan fiction…please review…

I know the plot kinda moves a bit too fast…I think…but I just basically wrote what seemed right to me…

I wanted to show a more fragile side of Natalie…you know…beside all that scary spoiled brat attitude…maybe I could do better in the next chapter…if you guys like this chapter I guess I should make another…

Just please review…
