Amy was reading History of Cahills. Though during the hunt she have learnt quite much about Cahills, but still there were things she wasn't aware of. For instance that her childhood's crush was standing right before her...
"Hello love. Missed me much?" Ian asked.
Amy looked up. Well you would expect her to stutter and become nervous. But Amy has grown with time. She was calm as anyone could be.
Amy called behind her back, "Hey Dan! What the hell is a cobra doing in our garden?"
Dan, coming out in his ninja gear, asked, "Where's the cobra? Where is it?"
Then he saw Ian and said, "Oh, it's you."
Ian raised his eyebrows and asked Dan, "Still obsessed with ninjas, are you?"
"Still obsessed with my sister, are you?" Dan asked him.
Ian blushed and said, "No... It's nothing like that."
Amy rolled her eyes and said, "I'm bored. You two can carry on with your reunion. And maybe reminiscence how many times this backstabber, manipulative bastard tried to kills us."
Ian came face to face with Amy and said, "Oh now, I see. You have changed, haven't you? Not that old Amy huh? No stutter, no shyness. Too sad, because that was the Amy I fell in love with."
She met his eyes and said, "I...I..."
Dan pretended to be all emotional and said, "Oh my God! Such an emotional scene! I can't stand it. I'm going to... I'm going to... PUKE!"
"Then go away, would you?" Amy asked irritated.
Dan said teasing, "Oooooh, want to talk in private with your long lost love huh? Go ahead. But don't forget to tell him about Jonah now."
"Jonah? Who Jonah? Jonah Wizard?" Ian asked, jealous.
"Yeah, that psycho pop singer." Dan said.
"What about him?" he asked suspicious.
"Dude, don't you watch news? He proposed Amy in front of the media. But Amy said she wants some time to think." Dan said.
Amy blushed and said, "Dan! There was no need to tell him that!"
"Of course there was. Where would be the fun then? Hey do you smell something burning?" Dan said teasing.
"You said you will think about dating Jonah?" Ian asked angrily.
Dan said, "See Amy, I told you he would want you to move on. You should have said yes."
"No idiot. Why didn't you say no?" Ian asked, fuming.
Meanwhile Amy was in thinking mode, "Oooooh! The Cobra guy is getting jealous! For me! Of course I don't like that pop guy. I can't understand most of what he is saying...
Ian... he has grown with time... His black silky hair... amber eyes...
Ughh, this guy is seriously messing with my brain. But you know what? I'm not going to make it easy for him"
Ian's thinking mode was something like this, "Ughh! I can't believe it. She likes that Jonah-freaking-Wizard guy. Hoodies can never compete to Armani!"
Dan was thinking, "Hey! My Ninja Turtles episode is going to start!"
"You two can carry on with your 'Oh Amy I was such a jerk. I love you' and 'Oh Ian, you don't know for how long I have waited for you' I have better work to do." Dan told them and ran inside.
Ian and Amy said at the same time "Hey! I don't sound like that! Do I?"
"Great, my brother left me alone with the snake." Amy said, frustrated.
Ian folded his hand, still furious and said, "You didn't answer my question."
"Do I look like one of those girls who worship you and would do anything for you?" Amy asked haughtily.
"Well, you were one of those back in Korea." He replied in the same tone.
Instantly Amy's fingerprints were printed on Ian's face.
"And that's exactly your problem Ian Kabra! You think every one around you look up to you as if you are some God." Amy shouted at him, her voice cracking a bit.
Amy's conscience said to her, "Well he does look like a Greek God."
"Shut up!" Amy shouted at her conscience.
Ian got scared and said, "But I didn't say anything."
Amy said, "I was not talking to you! But get this thing straight, I don't like you. I never did. You were just a fucking teenage crush I had on a very wrong guy! And you know what? I will answer your question. I didn't say no to Jonah because maybe I sort of like him. At least foxes don't strike as hard as snakes do."
Ian could not decide whether he was embarrassed or angry or regretful or just mad.
Isabel shouted in Ian's earpiece, "Hey that peasant girl! How dare she disgrace a Kabra! Slap her back!"
"Shut up! Shut up!" he shouted out angrily.
"You are telling me to shut up!" Amy said angrily.
"Not you idiot! Mum" he said.
He took out his earpiece and jumped on it many times. "Shut" -jumped- "the" –jumped- "hell" –jumped- "up" –jumped- "you" –jumped- "bitch!"
Amy gasped and said, "You called your Mom bitch!"
Amy's conscience said to her, "Rebellious... Amy likey."
Amy said, "Shut up!"
"Oh now YOU SHUT UP!" Ian said, deadly furious
Amy flinched back and said, "But-"
But Amy instantly shut up. Of course how could she talk when someone kisses her! Especially when that some one was Ian Kabra!
Isabel screamed out from the nearly broken earpiece on the ground, "Idiot! I told you to slap her! Not kiss her!"
But who was listening. The two were in la la land!
