I want to thank all of my reviewers! It makes me so happy to when I get them! CC is still welcome. So here is my second chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own the 39 clues
It was 10:00 a.m., and already Amy and Dan had their first guests. The Holts came in with their purple coats and heavy suitcases.
"Amy, Dan!" said Hamilton as he gave them a bone crushing hug.
"Hi, Hamilton," came the strangled reply.
While Amy and Dan caught their breath, Nellie and Fiske grabbed some of the bags and led the Holts upstairs. After, Hamilton and Dan made a beeline for the arcade room, with Madison and Reagan not far behind. Amy went downstairs to read and wait for the other guests.
Just as she got comfortable, there was a large crash down the hall, but before she could check it out, the doorbell rang. Nellie ran out of the kitchen and told her to answer the door while she checked out the crash.
Amy opened the door to find the Starlings on the doorstep. They looked freezing so she let them in quickly. Just as they came inside, Nellie was rushing Dan, who had a bunch of blood on his face, into the kitchen to get the first aid kit.
"Never a dull moment at a Cahill reunion, even after you just get there," said Ned.
All four of them rushed into the kitchen to see what had happened. They found out that Dan had insulted Reagan's driving in Mario Kart, so she punched him, and he fell into the TV. Dan was just lucky that Hamilton could hold his sister back, so she couldn't hurt him anymore than she already had. After smacking Dan in the head, Amy showed the Starlings to their rooms.
Ned and Ted wandered off to find the others while Amy and Sinead waited at the door and talked about how annoying their brothers were. It wasn't long before the doorbell rang again. Amy opened the door, and Jonah came in with his dad.
"Hi Jonah," said Amy.
"Hey Amy."
Amy picked up one of the suitcases, and Sinead picked up another one to help her. Amy led the way to the Wizards' rooms. Jonah's dad stayed in his room while the three teens went downstairs.
When they got to the bottom step, they heard something that sounded like an explosion come from the kitchen. They rushed into the kitchen to find Dan, the Holts, Ned, and Ted hiding behind a table and some chairs. Jonah, Amy, and Sinead were too shocked to speak. Suddenly, Nellie burst into the room.
"What happened?" asked Nellie.
"Um, Ned and Ted were talking about one of their inventions that makes a mini explosion, so I asked them if they could show me it in the kitchen. The Holts came with us to the kitchen, and we experimented," explained Dan.
"So you're telling me that you ruined the kitchen, my favorite room in the house, because of a dumb experiment!" Nellie exclaimed.
"Y-yes."
"Seriously guys? Can one person come without some catastrophe happening? Nellie asked exasperated. "I'm done cleaning up your messes. Everybody sit by the front door, and wait for the next guest. No talking, moving, or anything!"
Everybody hurriedly ran to the front door to sit down. Nellie sounded so serious, that Amy, Sinead, and Jonah were too scared to tell her they didn't do anything wrong. Everybody sat in silence, not wanting Nellie to start shouting again.
A few hours later Dan was asleep, Amy, Sinead, Jonah, and Hamilton were whispering, and Ned and Ted were watching Reagan and Madison thumb-wrestle. Finally the doorbell rang. Nellie came out of the kitchen, and told them not to move. She opened the door, and Ian and Natalie came in.
"Why is everyone sitting by the door?" Natalie asked.
Before Nellie could answer, Saladin jumped on top of Ian, scratching and biting him.
"Are you kidding me?" Nellie shouted as she took Saladin off of Ian. "I have to watch the Cahill cat too? I quit!"
"See Nellie," Dan said, "we sat and did nothing, and something still happened."
Nellie stormed out of the room, and upstairs towards her bedroom. After Nellie left, Dan gave a treat to Saladin, and Amy got the first aid kit.
It wasn't long before Alistair, the last guest, came. Fortunately, nothing bad happened. Amy showed Alistair to his room, and the Cahill reunion had officially begun.
How did you like the chapter? Were the characters too OOC? If you have any tips please put them in a review.
