I've read a lot of HB books... the Adventures, Casfiles, Super Mysteries, Undercover Brothers, the blue bound ones, Bantam, and so on. I have even watched the Hardy Boys/ Nancy Drew 70s TV show.

So, I hope you like it. Its kind of based on the TV show but loosely but also based on all my knowledge of the HB books that I have read... XD Its kind of in season one of the show. And I mean: loosely, as in that it will probably be in my mind not everything will be historically accurate. XD

I love writing in first person. My Star Wars stories are in first person.. basically almost everything is in first person. I think that this story will be in Joe's or Frank's eyes. Let me know what you think!
Oh and, this chapter might not make a little sense but it will in the next chapters. :P

Brothers

Chapter One

~Frank's Point of View~

"Are you crazy, Frank?" Joe, my sixteen year old brother hissed.

"I have to do this, Joe. Callie asked me to." I answered, picking up some of my clothes and shoving into a duffel bag.

"If she asked you to jump off a cliff, would you do it?" Joe asked, angrily. "Did you ask Dad for permission?" I looked at my brother, sighing.

"Yes, I did." His blue eyes widened as he gasped.

"And he said yes?!" I heaved a sigh and nodded, turning away back to my clothes.

"You're going all the way to California for a..a.." He stopped talking and I could hear the surprise in his voice."What are you doing anyway?"

"Little brother, you won't understand." I grimaced when my statement was met with complete silence. "Joe?" I turned around to see no one in my bedroom. I could hear pounding down the stairs. I closed my eyes letting out another sigh. Oh Joe. I hadn't been talking about anything important to Joe for awhile. Was that bugging Joe for some reason? I zipped up my bag and ran down the hallway to the stairs.

"Joe, hey, Joe!" I yelled. "Come back!" I saw him open the front door-with keys in his hands. He glared at me for the first time in years.

"What is all this yelling about?" Aunt Gertrude demanded behind me. My younger brother slammed the door right in my face. I swung the door open, ignoring my aunt. "Joe! Joe!"

I ran towards the driveway-Joe was taking out the dirt bikes of the van. "Hey, Joe, can't we talk about this?" The blond haired boy ignored me, tears sprung into my eyes. I winced when he throttled the bike and he left the drive.

"Go follow him!" Aunt Gertrude said behind me. I looked back at her, realizing she was right. "You two have been so close for a long time. Don't let a trip to California spoil it, young man." I dropped the duffel bag in my hand and got my bike out of the van too.

I roared down Elm Street, racing to find my brother.

Hi!
Its my first ever Hardy Boys fanfic. It would mean a lot to me if any of HB writers out there would give me any advice, suggestions, or anything. I'm open for any tips and/or suggestions.

My favorite Hardy Boy has always been Joe. And later in the story, I'll being showing you why Joe acted the way he acted. He's my favorite, always my fave. :) So hang on there, Joe fans!
