A/N: WOW! I got reviews already! SWEET!

Violet Aiken: Hmm...maybe. I'll have to think about that one.

Blah: Why thank you! It is a quadruplet that they must find, before it is too late! AAAAAHHHH!

MyPreciousss188: How would a story be sexist? I don't get it. Thanks for the compliment though!

AZWildGreen: Well, almost. And you forgot one. Quatro (four), in Spanish. Don't worry, I'm an Aunt Josephine too.

The Notebook Brigade

Chapter Two

So Much for my Wish

"Izzy!" Duncan screamed at the top of his lungs. He saw his sister dangling out of the window, then he saw her fall. He clenched his eyes shut, hoping against hope that she would by some miracle land in the hedges directly below the window. To his enormous luck, she did. Duncan opened his eyes to see Isadora lying unconscious in the bushes. "Isadora!" he yelled, and ran over to her. He took her hand and tried to shake her awake. Her eyes slowly flickered open.

"Quig...ley?" Isadora asked weakly.

"No Izzy, it's Duncan," Duncan said.

"Dun...can?" Isadora asked her voice stronger and her eyes fully opened. Duncan let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding in.

"Are you okay, Izzy?" he asked tentatively.

"I-I think so," Isadora said feebly, using Duncan's arms to pull herself up. "OW!" she shrieked. Her ankle had failed her. Her leg twisted painfully and she toppled over. Luckily, Duncan caught her before her face hit the ground. He draped her arm over his shoulder and together they walked/limped towards the nearest neighbor's house.


"Duncan?" Isadora asked her brother.

"Yeah, Izzy?"

"What happened to Quigley?" Duncan had to ponder this for quite some time. They had all been playing football when Mr. Quagmire suddenly froze. He had grabbed Duncan and Quigley by the arms and planted Duncan under the window and then ran into the house with Quigley. It was about a minute after he shut the door that the glass in the little window in the door cracked and flew out, making the menacing orange flames in the laundry room visible. It was a few minutes after that that Isadora had jumped out of the window. Duncan explained all of this to Isadora.

"So that must mean Quigley is..." Isadora didn't want to finish her sentence, and she couldn't have, for at that very moment there was an ear-piercing scream and the ugly sound of breaking glass. The two siblings turned their heads and saw that every window in the Quagmire mansion had cracked and exploded. Then the roof on the second floor fell in.

"Yes, Isadora. Quigley is. They all are," Duncan said solemnly. Then Duncan looked at Isadora's face, and saw a tear role down her cheek.

"They're gone," she whispered, and with that the west wall fell in. "So much for my wish."
