Dreamprite5: Hi again

Serena: so what horrible thing are we going to do to William next?

Dreamsprite5: What don't you think gluing his wig down is enough?

Serena: innocent look no.

Dreampsirte5: I think it's his turn to do something to you. Evil grin

Serena: What!

Dreamsprite5: Yep it's his turn to do something to you.

'Wow who knew that it could be so boring to be alone' I sighed and then groaned. I rolled over until I was hanging upside down over my bed. Looking up at the ceiling I decided that I should paint it. 'But what color? I know silver!' where I came up with silver I have no clue, but I couldn't paint the whole ceiling that color, so I would paint runes on it and the walls and I would have to coolest room ever!

30minutes later

"Paint. Where would they put the paint?" I said while searching through the garage. I had already looked everywhere else except for the attic and I had somehow managed to make a huge mess that I would have to clean up before Mr. and Mrs. Holmes got back from work. It wasn't my fault that the broom decided to fall on my head and then fall on top of a self and knock everything off of it.

Giving up in the garage I sighed. You really would think that paint would be easier to find.

"Ding dong."

"What the hell!" I ran towards the door praying that Mr. and Mrs. Holmes weren't home yet. There in the door was John and Joel/William. Hiding my smirk I opened the door.

"John you do know that you're not supposes to be over here right? And hi Joel how are things going with you?" I chanced a look at Joel/William. 'Wow he looks like he's been through the wringer and back again. What the hell happened?'

"Sorry Serena but this is business," Joel/William walked past me and headed up to his room. "And just so you know I don't appreciate you putting glue in my wig."

Normally I would have put on an innocent look and convinced him that I didn't do it, but something was wrong cause both of them were looking serious as they headed up to Williams room. I opened my mouth to say if I could go with them, but John shook his head no and went up after William.

I sighed and went into the Kitchen to clean up the broom's mess.

10 minutes later

Putting the last of the cereal boxes away, I stood up and surveyed the kitchen. It was finally clean. I headed up the stairs to search the attic for that paint. Walking by William's door I had to resist the urge to listen in on them.

'Wow their attic is messy. They must never come up here.' Poking my head through the attic door I sneezed because of the dust.

I started going through everything trying to find paint. Nearing the end of the attic I came across some old trunks and me being as curious as I am had to look in them. Opening one of the trunks I grinned as I saw some Victorian clothes. Holding up a green ball dress I grinned as I thought of what it would be like to have gone to one of those dances. I kept digging through the trunk and I found photos of a man and a women. The woman was wearing the green dress and man was wearing a tuxedo and was carrying a cane.

I dug deeper into the trunk and found an old journal. Grinning I put it down next to me so I could read it later. Next I found an old cane just like the one in the picture. I held it up and turned it around in my hands so I could look at it better. There were the initials J.W. near the top of the cane. The top of the cane was carved in an L like shape and was defiantly too big for my hand.

I looked at the picture again and sure enough the man's hand was huge in the picture. I then took a closer look at the man in the picture. He was fairly tall and stood straight up like my uncle Rob did when he was saluting one of his captains. So I took a guess and assumed that this man had been part of the army at some point and that something had happened to his leg and that he had to use a cane. I again looked at the cane and it showed heavy use. Again I looked at the picture having fun with my little guess and check game. He had a kind looking face and a nicely groomed look about him. His dark hair and mustache were clean and neat. He looked like the type of man who was careful about his appearance and overall a nice person. I focused my attention to the woman.

She was short compared to the man, but she also stood straight in the picture. She had fairly light colored hair and dark colored eyes. I took a guess that her eyes were green, because of the dress.

She was a good-looking woman and I took a guess that they were married. I put down the photo and started to dig again. This time I was looking for wedding rings or a wedding certificate. I found a pair of pearl earrings, two wedding bands, and an old-fashioned revolver.

"Wonder if they know that this is in their attic?" I said out loud. I opened the chamber of the gun and checked to see if there were any bullets. Seeing none I closed the chamber and I made sure the safety was on just in case. I then put it back into the trunk. When I put it in the trunk I accidentally dropped it and it hit the inside corner of the trunk and the whole bottom flew up scattering photos into the air.

"Why me?"

I started to pick up the photos, but I made sure to look at them before I put them back into the secret bottom. They were mostly pictures of the couple, but there was one or two that had a picture of a really tall man in them. The last picture I picked up had both the really tall man and a woman that I hadn't seen before. The woman was holding a baby and the man had his arm around her.

Curious I didn't put it back in the trunk with the others I put it with the journal and the dress.

After putting most of the stuff back into the trunk I brought the dress, the can, the photo, and the journal downstairs with me and I put them into my room.

Looking at my clock I saw that it was eleven fifty-nine.

I grinned and went down stairs and started to make lunch.

John

"Room service."

"What the heck?" William looked at the door.

"Hi Serena." I grinned

"No fun," I could almost see her pouting on the other side of the door. "Can I come in I got lunch?"

William looked at me and shrugged.

"Depends on what you have." I smiled

"I have a little bit of everything."

"Please say that the kitchen is intact." William said almost praying that the kitchen was intact.

"I'm coming in and yes it's intact and clean." Serena poked her head through the door and stuck out her tongue. She was carrying a tray piled high with food; potato chips, soda, bread, mustard, Mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, and the list went on and on.

"Where's the army?" William dryly asked

"I'm the army," Serena grinned and cleared a space off William's desk. "So why are you wearing that wig? And I defiantly didn't put glue in anything. Are you sure that Joel didn't do it?"

'What in the world is she doing?' Serena was going crazy that was the only explanation possible.

William looked at me and grinned, "Well I guess that Joel did do it cause he had motive and opportunity."

"Well why were you wearing it to begin with?" Serena grabbed some bread and started to put mustard on it.

"We went undercover today and I had to wear a wig."

"Oh."

Watching Serena eat was fascinating. She had to put everything on the sandwich one at a time and then she sliced it diagonally and ate the crust off first.

"So any way Joel wanted to ask if you would go out on a date with him after we're of groundation." William smirked and reached for a soda.

Serena looked up grinned and said, "Sure I'd love to."

William looked at her for a moment smiled and said, "Well he asked me to see if dinner at the Flower?"

Serena looked at William and then me and said, "Why do I think I'm getting in over my head?"

"Cause you are." I said dryly.

"Ok what am I missing here?"

"The Flower is one of the most high end restaurants in London." William said while somehow managing to glare at me.

I glared back.

"So does that mean I have to get a dress and learn how to eat with all that silverware?"

"Yes it does." William smirked.

"Help!" Serena defiantly had a panicked look on her face.

Dun dun dun…

Snowwolf: here you go the date with Joel

Hermione Holmes: Good point I should write out the numbers, but I was feeling lazy LOL
