I think this is the second to last chapter. Maybe third if we're lucky. Dang I love this story but it must end. I do have two other movies that I wanted to do 39 Clues parodies of if y'all like this kind of thing. I was thinking The Hangover (the first part cuz I haven't seen the second) and White Chicks but neither would really be romance. I mean there'd be little parts but not really major romance. They'd both be starring Dan and Ian (Hamilton and Jonah too in The Hangover) so we'll see how that plays out one day.

Also if Maximum Ride is popular with y'all I had an idea for Maximum Ride based off of Alpha and Omega but again, for the future.

I own nothing!

Ah, White Horse… that song/video reminds me of Amy and Ian. "Do you love me?" "Yeah…" "Then will you give me another chance?" "No…" so sad… But Grenade seems to fit Ian at this point in the story. "But I'd still catch a grenade for ya"

delarose – correction: I did not say no more sadness. I said no sad ending.

SHORT NOTE! YAY! MIRICAL!

Amy's POV (again)

I got to homeroom early so Hamilton had to take that opportunity to talk to me.

"Hey, Amy!" he said with that grin of his face.

"Hi" I replied.

"So… I… umm heard about you and Ian… umm… I'm sorry to hear…" he seemed unsure of what to say. He wasn't really sorry but he didn't want to be rude. If I hadn't known better I'd think he was being really sweet.

"It's fine. But I did want to talk to you…" I began, taking the penny out of my pocket. I wasn't sure if this was his or not. I needed to find out. I "accidently" dropped it.

As predicted he picked it up for me. Nothing happened. "Here, you dropped this."

I swore silently. Wrong coin. At least now I know which one is which.

"What did you want to talk about?" he asked.

"Right… umm… you know how Ian and I broke up?" he nodded "Well it was because of… well I don't know how to explain this."

"Is it because he was jealous? God, I'm so sorry-"

"No, no, not at all. It's… this is going to sound stupid but it's because of this coin." I took out Ian's coin.

Hamilton was confused. "A coin? That's… interesting."

"No it's not just a coin. Remember in Rome when I had to take those coins from the fountain?" he nodded "When I took the coins, the people who put them there feel in love with me. It's some kind of magic about the fountain." I explained.

"So you're saying you took his coin?" he asked.

I nodded. "And Jonah's. And yours."

Hamilton shook his head. "No, Amy that's not why I like-"

"Here," I said taking out the quarter "take this then tell me if you still feel the same way."

He took the coin. Nothing seemed to happen but he looked at the coin oddly. "I guess you're right… I still like you a lot but like a sister. Not a girlfriend. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard yet it's true…" he said the last sentence mostly to himself.

Then I remembered something. "Oh! Your wish was supposed to come true too. What was it?" I asked.

He looked a little embarrassed. "I… well right after I put the coin in Madison told me that I should have put in a smaller coin so I wished I had the quarter back… that was kind of stupid wasn't it?"*

I laughed. "Well congratulations! You got it back." I told him.

~~~~~~~Skipping class cuz it's boring~~~~~~~

After class I decided to find Jonah I had five minutes before class. Hopefully I could find the gangster in five minutes.

Turns out, that wasn't hard. You know how in movies the girl closes her locker and the guy is standing right there leaning on the locker next to her? That's what Jonah did. The guy's been in too many movies.

"'Sup?" he asked.

"Umm… nothing." I replied.

"You don't sound sure."

"Well… I did want to talk to you." I told him.

"About?"

I took the penny out of my pocket. "This."

"It's a penny, babe**." Jonah explained, looking confused.

"I know that. But it's a magic penny."

Jonah looked at me as though he was worried for my mental health. "Amy, are you okay? Maybe you should see the nurse…" he tried to feel my forehead "Are you on any meds or drugs?"

"No, Jonah I'm fine. It's really a magic penny." I told him.

"Okay then, what does the magic penny do?" he asked, still looking worried.

"Well the penny isn't magic. I got it from a magic fountain. The one you dared me to steal from. It made you fall in love with me." I explained.

"I doubt the fact that you have a penny made me like you."

"Here, hold it. You'll change your mind."

Jonah took the penny and did the same thing Hamilton did, stared at it.

"So?" I asked.

"I stand corrected. I still like you and all but not like before. Like my cuz."

"Perfect." I smiled "Your wish is supposed to come true too."

He grinned. "I needed to write a love song for my next album. I wrote that a long time ago." He explained.

"Awesome. Good luck with it." I said, turning to go to my next class.

"Wait, Amy. Did you give the other coins back?" Jonah asked.

I looked down. "One of them. Hamilton got his but I don't know how to get Ian's back…"

Jonah gave me a sympathetic look. "I heard about that. Sorry… it's my fault. I didn't mean for the dare to be such a big deal… I just thought maybe a cop would yell at you or something… maybe arrest you…"

I laughed. "Thanks" I said sarcastically "It's fine. Don't worry about it."

~~~~~~~Skipping toward the end of lunch~~~~~~

I'd written Ian's note during one of the particularly boring classes and taped the coin to it. The note was like this

Ian,
I'm really, REALLY sorry about last night. I didn't want to do that, I love you, I really do. I feel horrible about leaving you but I had to. You don't really love me. No, I'm not being weird and paranoid or testing you or any of that dramatic crap that some girls do. I'm serious. You're under a magic spell (a REAL spell not like you said yesterday). The fountain I took coins – yours, Jonah's and Hamilton's – from put a spell on you guys to make you fall in love with me. If you don't believe me take the coin. You'll know. I really didn't want to do this but it seemed wrong and selfish to keep you under a spell and from finding someone you really love. Also if I kept you under the spell forever there's a chance that our future son would go crazy and kill us and try to take over the world (or maybe that only happens in books).

Crap. I should so not have told you that because you'll hold it over my head forever. Oh well you were bound to know eventually anyway.
Love (sadly, yes, love),
~Amy

PS Your wish is supposed to come true too.

Now all I had to do was slip it into his locker.

That seemed easy. I found it and he wasn't around so I slid it in and turned to walk away.

But I ran into someone.

Okay I'm pretty sure there's only one more chapter unless I make an epilogue which I have no idea at all for… maybe one teeny tiny idea but not much.

Who knows who it is? It's really, really obvious but it was worth the stopping point any way ;)

*Sorry I couldn't think of a better wish for him plus it was funny and I could picture him doing that.

**Gross I couldn't even type that. I really hate that nickname but sounded like something Jonah would say.

Interview:

Me: What do you think?

Amy: I wouldn't write that! I don't like Ian!

Me: Yes you do! It says so.

Amy: But he will hold it over her forever.

Me: Over you.

Amy: I am in no way the same as her.

Ian: I think you look the same. And you have a nervous stutter and have a brother called Daniel, sister, Nikki and uncle, Fiske.

Me Amy and audience: IT'S NELLIE!

Ian: Okay, okay. Anyway, I'd say you have a lot in common with her. Plus you both love me.

Me: Oh yeah! Ian, what do you think?

Ian: Why didn't I have a part?

Me: Cuz you play a HUGE part in the climax. Is that the right word?

Director dude: CUT!
