Back... Again.

DISCLAIMER;

Me; Hey! Hey, Jake! Hey, Jake, HEEEEEEEEYY!

Jake; What?

Me; Do You believe that you are the hottest guy in the world?

Jake; who said that?

Me; Uh... Lindsay. On chapter four or something

Jake; *gets weird look on his face* Oh. Well, I know I'm hotl but for Lindsay to say that is kinda—

Me; Yeah, yeah. Disclaimer. Now.

Jake; *sighing* TooBusyBeingAnAwkoTaco does not own The 39 Clues or their characters, only her own: Emma and Lindsay

We got home around 2 in the morning, laughing and talking. Dan opened up the door, and I almost had a heart attack.

Amy was squatting on the island, knife in her hand, her eyes red and blood shot, bags under her eyes, and she was ready to call bloody murder on us.

"Amy?!"

She launched the knife at us. Dan pushed me to the ground, and he fell beside me. The sharp pointy scary thing lodged itself in the wall.

"Calm down, sis..." Dan chided. He stood up, and cautiously walked over to her. I was still lying on the ground, scared as hell.

Amy's breathing steadied. Then she started screaming at us. "Dan?! Lindsay?! Dan, I gave you a curfew! I thought you were kidnapped! Dead, even! What the hell did you think you were doing, staying out past midnight?!"

"Amy, Amy... We were just having fun. Calm down, and get to bed." Dan ordered. Amy grumbled some colorful words under her breath before running upstairs.

Dan turned around and smirked in my direction. "Sorry my sister's a lunatic."

Now out of my scared-as-hell state, I was standing up, giggling. Maybe Emma was right when she said I was bipolar...

"She is quite a lunatic."

Dan took one of my hands, and wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

He lightly kissed my nose. "At least you're not a lunatic."

I shoved him. "Shut up."

"I can't shut up. You love my voice too much."

"The space pirates also told me that lying is a sin..."

"Hey!"

I grinned. "Sorry."

He scoffed. "Sorry my ass."

"How will I make you forgive me?"

"You know how."

"Uh, no I don't. Sorry I don't read minds."

Dan poked my stomach. "Don't be smart."

I bit my bottom lip. "I had another smart comment, but I didn't say it because I'm going to listen to you."

"Wow. Lindsay Sapphire Jane Walker Wizard Cahill is listening. Can we get a round if applause?"

I punched his chest, trying hard to contain my laughter. "Shh! You're going to wake everybody up!"

"I prefer them awake."

"Why?"

"Ian drools, Hamilton snores, Sinead sleep talks... Oh, and Jonah sleep raps."

I burst out laughing. "I know! One time when we were younger, we went camping, and in the middle of the night he started rapping about bathrooms. Bathrooms!"

Dan cracked up. "Last week he was rapping about all of us."

My eyes widened. "What did he say?"

"Hamilton's a buff tough machine, Emma's a crazy beautiful fashion freak... Uh, Jake's stealing his swag... Atticus is a creepy genius, Sinead is like a smart pumpkin from hell, Amy is a mess of books and worms, I'm an awesome ninja, and you're a weird Ruffles-loving freak."

"Leave it to Jonah..."

Dan and I started walking up the stairs. About halfway up, I yawned and almost fell backwards. Dan caught me and scooped me up bridal style.

"You're scary when you're tired."

"You're scary period."

Shaking his head at me, he said "You really need some sleep."

That was when I actually felt my tiredness weigh in. My eyelids felt heavy, so I simply shut my eyes. It was a minute before I felt the cushion of my bed underneath me.

Dan kissed my lips. "Night, Lindsay."

Just when he was about to walk away, I blindly grabbed is sweater. "Don't go."

He sighed to himself. Dan lay down beside me, and I snuggled up closer to him, his warmth making me feel safe.

"Lindsay, Amy will have a cow if she sees us like this in the morning."

"It is the morning."

He chuckled. "I'm serious Lindsay."

"Then just wait till I'm asleep. I want to end this perfect night with you."

"I thought you said it was the morning."

"Don't be smart."

The last thing I heard was his adorable laugh before I fell asleep.
