House of Secret Admirers:
Vera was in Mr. Griffin's car and they were discussing her infiltration at Anubis house.
"If it keep going like this he will melt," said Vera, who clearly enjoyed fooling Victor.
"Poor, poor Victor," said Mr. Griffin, as he was enjoying Vera's story about tricking Victor.
"That's how good I'm," said Vera.
"Did you find out anything else?" Asked Mr. Griffin.
"Jerome, he is indeed looking, I caught him in Nina and Amber's room. But I don't believe he found anything," said Vera.
"And anything else?" Asked Mr. Griffin.
"I heard something in the cellar. It could be that Victor is hiding something there," said Vera.
"Well, it's very important now that you keep a close eye on everything. We're very close, very close even," said Mr. Griffin.
Vera nodded her head. Mr. Griffin started the car and drove off.
In the meantime in the house. Victor was talking to Corbierre in his office.
"What a woman Corbierre, what a woman. A woman like that deserves something special," said Victor.
The next morning. The residents were having breakfast. Jerome couldn't help himself because he hadn't slept well because of what he saw in Nina and Amber's room.
"You okay dude?" Asked Eddie.
"What," said Jerome.
"Are you okay?" Asked Eddie.
"Why do you ask that?" Asked Jerome.
"Because you look like you haven't slept at all," said Eddie.
"I didn't really get any sleep," said Jerome.
After breakfast the residents were at school. The first few hours passed quickly and it was already lunch break. The club was in the drama room.
"Have you gotten any further with the hieroglyphics? Asked Aaron.
"No, not really," said Fabian.
"Can we help you with something?" Asked Aaron.
"I need to take another look at the wall, so if I can get photo, that would be great," said Fabian.
"Photo? What photo?" Asked Aaron.
"Off the wall," said Fabian.
"I don't have any photos of the wall," said Aaron.
"Me neither," said Amber.
"Did anyone took a picture of the new task?" Asked Fabian.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then we've to go back to the secret room," said Fabian.
"Ah that means we've to go to the cellar," complained Amber.
"That's just the way it is," said Aaron.
Suddenly Nina thought back to her dream last night.
"Guys I gotta tell you guys something," said Nina.
"What is it?" Asked Fabian.
"I had a dream last night," said Nina.
"Was it about a tutu-wearing werewolf?" Asked Alfie.
"No, it wasn't," said Nina.
"Oh I've had that dream," said Alfie.
"Alfie focus," said Aaron.
"Tell us about your dream," said Amber.
"Okay I was in the hospital and I heard a voice coming from my gran's room," said Nina.
"Was it your grandmother?" Asked Amber.
"No, it was a young woman and she looked like a princess," said Nina.
"Who was that woman?" Asked Patricia.
"I think it was Amneris," said Nina.
"Amneris?" Asked Fabian.
"Yes," said Nina.
"How can you be so sure?" Asked Aaron.
"Because she was talking about her and Tutankhamun and getting back together with him," said Nina.
"What else did she say?" Asked Fabian.
"That only the brave can complete that mission and about love," said Nina.
"Well then that's gonna be hard with Amber in our group," said Alfie
"What's that supposed to mean?" Asked Amber.
"You're not really the bravest person here," said Alfie.
"I'm brave," said Amber.
"There's a spider on you," said Alfie.
"Ahhh a spider!" Shouted Amber.
Amber jumped on Alfie's lap.
"Hey there is no spider," said Amber.
"Just kidding," said Alfie.
The club except Amber started laughing at Alfie's spider prank.
In the meantime, Joy and Fiona were at the computer lab. Joy pulled a new letter from the mailbox. Joy began to read the letter. Joy and Fiona didn't realize that Otis was peaking behind the corner and could hear everything.
"He's so romantic," said Joy.
"We already knew that. But what does he write?" Asked Fiona.
"He dreams of meeting me in real life one day. You see it's not Greg at all," said Joy.
"But if it's not Greg, who is it?" Asked Fiona.
"I don't know that either," said Joy.
Otis got a big smile on his face after hearing the conversation and walked away.
An hour later. Jerome was in the history room talking to Mr. Griffin.
"And?" Asked Mr. Griffin.
"I haven't found the Ankh yet," said Jerome.
"That's bad news for me and for your father," said Mr. Griffin.
"I searched Nina and Amber's room and found nothing," said Jerome.
"Nothing at all?" Asked Mr. Griffin.
"Well, not nothing at all, there was a girl," said Jerome.
"A girl? What do you mean?" Asked Mr. Griffin.
"I saw a girl, a kind of phantasm I know it sounds a little weird," said Jerome.
"What did that phantasm look like?" Asked Mr. Griffin.
"She looked like a princess," said Jerome.
"Amneris," said Mr. Griffin.
"Who is Amneris?" Asked Jerome.
"She is the secret love of Tutankhamun and for her he built the tomb," said Mr. Griffin.
"What is she doing in our house?" Asked Jerome.
"No idea. But it's your job to focus on the Ankh," said Mr. Griffin.
"That's what I focused on," said Jerome.
"Good, because the sooner I've that Ankh, the sooner you, your sister and your father can be a real family," said Mr. Griffin.
"I'm on top of it," said Jerome.
"Good and I'm gonna give you something that can help you," said Mr. Griffin
Mr. Griffin took a small device from his bag and handed it to Jerome.
"What is this?" Asked Jerome.
"With this device you can truly become my ears," said Mr. Griffin.
"How?" Asked Jerome.
"You've got to attach that little mic to something of one those friends of yours. And then you can hear everything they say," said Mr. Griffin.
"You want me to eavesdrop on them?" Asked Jerome.
"Do you want to see your father be a free man?" Asked Mr. Griffin.
"Yes," said Jerome.
Then you've to eavesdrop on your friends," said Mr. Griffin.
Jerome put the device in his bag and left the classroom.
A few moments later. Joy and Patricia were in the computer lab. Joy had told Patricia all about her secret admirer wanting to meet her.
"He wants to meet me in the park," said Joy.
"He's burning with desire to meet you in the park," said Patricia.
"You must come with me," said Joy.
"That's not really romantic if I tag along," said Patricia.
But I'm too scared to go alone," said Joy.
"Since when are you such a scaredy cat?" Asked Patricia, in teasing voice.
"Please," begged Joy.
"Ask Otis, suggested Patricia, as she saw Otis entering the room.
"Ask Otis what? Asked Otis.
"Otis, maybe you want to come with me to the park this afternoon,
"I...," said Otis, but Joy interrupted him.
"Never mind, this is a really ridiculous idea," said Joy.
Joy left the computer lab, Patricia followed her to see if she was okay. Joy headed to the girls' bathroom and locked herself in one of the stalls. Patricia entered the bathroom.
"Joy," said Patricia.
"Go away Patricia," said Joy.
"Joy what is it?" Asked Patricia.
"I can't do this," said Joy.
"Why not? Asked Patricia.
"I just can't okay," said Joy.
"Can you at least get them out of the toilet stall, that talks a little bit easier," said Patricia.
Joy opened the door and came out of the stall.
"What exactly is going on?" Asked Patricia.
"I can't continue this, I can't meet him," said Joy.
"Why not? You've wanted to meet him for so long," said Patricia.
"I'm too scared," said Joy.
"Why are you afraid?" Asked Patricia.
"Because what if it goes wrong, what if it turns out that he doesn't like me after all," said Joy.
"Joy, this secret admirer is crazy about you. And you're going to meet him," said Patricia.
"I'm just super nervous," said Joy.
"I get that. But since you're my best friend I'm going to bring out my inner Amber," said Patricia.
"Inner Amber?" Asked Joy
"Yes, I'm going to help you look amazing, so amazing that your secret admirer will be speechless," said Patricia.
"Thank you Patricia, I really lucky to have you my best friend," said Joy.
Patricia and Joy hugged each other and left the girl's bathroom.
In the meantime. Nina and Fabian were in a classroom. Fabian was helping Nina with her school work because she was behind.
"Thank you for helping me," said Nina.
"No problem, I'm happy to help you," said Fabian.
"You really are a great boyfriend," said Nina
"Nina kissed Fabian on the cheek and Fabian blushed and got a smile on his face.
"Can you remember anything else from your dream? Something that can help us further?" Asked Fabian.
"No, I'm sorry, said Nina.
"It's okay, don't apologize," said Fabian.
"Are these hieroglyphics really that much harder to decipher? Asked Nina
"Yeah, I can't find the logic in it," said Fabian.
"You can do this, you're the smartest person I know and If anybody figure this out it's you," said Nina.
"You're a great girlfriend," said Fabian.
Nina and Fabian kissed each other and then continued to do their homework.
In the meantime. Jerome was at his locker when Mara walked up to him.
"Hey," said Mara.
"Hey Mara," said Jerome.
"I was just looking for you, but I couldn't find you," said Mara.
"I was discussing a paper with Mr. Griffin, said Jerome.
"Paper? We don't have to work on a paper," said Mara.
"No, this is a paper I have to do because I missed some classes," said Jerome.
"Oh okay, like extra credit," said Mara.
"Yes, something like that, "said Jerome.
"If you need help, I'm happy to help," said Mara.
"Thank you for your offer, but I've to do this alone," said Jerome.
"Okay that's fine, but if you need help you can always ask me for help," said Mara.
"I will do that," said Jerome.
Jerome closed his locker and he walked with Mara to the next class.
A few hours later. Joy was in the park with Patricia. Joy was completely dressed up for her date and was ready to meet her secret admirer. Joy felt nervous about meeting him.
"I can't do this," said Joy.
"Of course you can," said Patricia.
"Do I look good?" Asked Joy.
"Yes," said Patricia.
"Really?" Asked Joy.
"Yes, said Patricia.
"My lipstick, my makeup?" Asked Joy.
"Yes, all of it is perfect," said Patricia.
"It's nice to have the date in the park. But it would be helpful if he also said where it is," said Joy
"Well I think I know," said Patricia.
Patricia pointed in a direction where a tent standing. The tent was made of beautiful cloths and it looked super romantic.
"He really has made something special out of it," said Patricia.
"Yes, he did. Please come with me just a little while longer," begged Joy.
"No, you really have to do it alone. Good luck," said Patricia.
Patricia gave Joy a quick hug and walked away. Joy sat in the tent and waited for her secret admirer. A few seconds later, Otis approached the tent. Otis was dressed up in a fancy suit, his hair was combed tidy and he was even wearing contact lenses.
"Hi," said Otis.
"Otis, what are you doing here?" Asked Joy.
You look beautiful," said Otis.
"If you think you can start taking pictures for the school paper, that's not going to happen," said Joy.
"I don't come for the school paper," said Otis.
"This is private, this is nobody's business. You'd better...," said Joy. "You're not coming for the school paper?" She asked.
"No, I'm not," said Otis.
"Then why are you here?" Asked Joy.
"I'm here for you," said Otis.
"For me?" Asked Joy.
"Yes, for you. Because I'm wrote you those letters," said Otis.
"You?" Asked Joy.
"I'm your Prince Charming," said Otis.
Joy didn't know what to say. All along, Otis was Joy's secret admirer. How will Joy respond to this?
