A/N: I know Iola is dead but in the earlier Nancy Drew and Hardy boys supper mysteries that were paperback and full of short stories Nancy and Iola had met and were friends so my story is before she is dead. Also, at this time I don't remember what Mrs. Hardys first name is so I'm giving her the first name of Alicia. Along with this I am making Chief McGinnis brother the police chief of Bayport. I also am making up my own geography because its my fan fic and no one is making money of this so. its going to be my way..
Chapter 1: Wait a minute who is with who?
Washington D.C. ~ The White House
The applause had just died down after the Presidents speech. Nancy, Frank, and Joe went up and received their medals of honor for their last case. "Speech!" "Speech!" the audience cried out as Nancy and the Hardy's stood in front of the podium. " What can we say about the case or us the won't get us in trouble with all our debriefings?" Joe asked. "That's easy. We just let Nancy do the talking." Frank said as he put his hand in the curve of Nancy's back and gave her a gentle shove to the front of the podium. Nancy just gave him a look of sheer death, "First off the three of us would all like to thank our parents and family who have been so understanding about us running off at the drop of a hat; because of sudden leads, clues, or late-breaking developments. Next we would like to thank our friends, for their support and willingness to help solve not only this case but also others. We would also like to thank both Chief McGinnis for giving this case, and to the government who let us stay on the after it started to expand. It has been a long year and half but we have solved the case, and now were moving on to a new case." Nancy said with such ease and poise. " How to have a vacation with out a mystery!" She finished as the audience broke into to laughter, applause, and a standing ovation. Nancy, Frank, and Joe stepped down off the makeshift stage and moved towards the tables where their families and friends were siting. The ceremony was over and people began filing out the door to crab their coats and find their cars. Their family and friends gave them hugs and congratulations, and soon they too moved to the door to get their coats and find their cars. "Hey Dad, have you seen Ned? I don't want to leave him here, but I don't seem him anywhere. " Nancy said a little concerned her boyfriend was missing in action. "Has anyone seen Callie? I swear I saw her come in here earlier." Frank said a little ticked that she hadn't gone to find him. Fenton and Carson looked at each other. "Well, why don't you.."Carson trailed off. "both wait till we get back to the hotel." Fenton added. "We will talk then." Carson finished as he, Fenton, Alicia, Hannah, Aunt Gertrude, and Aunt Eloise all got into the first Imo. "Do you get the feeling something funny is going on?" Nancy asked Frank. "Yeah, and I don't like it. I wonder if Joe, Iola, or Chet know something? Or even if Bess and George know something?" Frank asked in response. "Look there they go all into the second limo without a word to us! Something fishy is definitely going on here. But what?" Nancy pointed out as Frank helped her on with her coat and they walked over to the third limo. Frank just shook his head and said, "Why do I have the feeling they are going to tell us something really bad that we don't want to hear?" "I feel that way too. But what are we going to do?" Nancy asked as the driver took a sharp turn. Nancy flew on to Frank, her head in his lap. She and Frank just blushed and he helped her sit up. As he helped her up her noticed a tear in her eye. He put his arm around her and pulled her in close, "It's going to be okay. Whatever happens I am here for you." "The same goes for you Frank."

Fenton walked away from the phone and said, "Bad news they just left on a plane. Also Frank and Nancy just arrived." " This is not going to go well at all. We have all known about this for months and didn't tell them." Carson said. "Well, at least you aren't going to get the brunt of their anger. I was working a case with them and I knew and I never told them. My own brother and best friend what I knew. I am toasted." Joe said as he hung his head in his hands. The adults grimaced because they knew he was right. "Well, I know this may sound bad to the adults here but I think we should play stupid and let the adults break the news to Frank and Nancy." Iola said as she rubbed Joe's back. "That's a great plan. I'm for it!" Bess added. "Yeah, but theirs one problem Iola. When Frank and Nancy ask Joe, and the rest of us if we knew I cant lie to them." George said. "She's right. Sorry sis." Chet added his two cents between the room service he had sent up. "I think we should all just sit them down when they walk in, give a little background."Alicia Hardy trailed off. "as to why we couldn't tell them."Aunt Eloise picked up. "and then make sure they understand the consequences of us telling them in midst their big investigation.." Aunt Gertrude added. "and then all we can do is tell them. Let them react, lash out on us, and probably leave before they see what we did we did in love." Hannah finished as Frank and Nancy walked in. The plan hadn't gone exactly the way the wanted it to. It had started out just fine with everyone giving them the background of Ned meeting Callie when they thought Nancy, Frank, and Joe had been killed. But the had really just infiltrated the criminals gang. Then they told Frank and Nancy how they needed to keep their concentration on the case at hand and the criminal's activities or they could have been dead. Also, they discussed other possibilities of if they had told Nancy and Frank what was happening when it did they could've broken their cover and gotten the whole family killed. Frank and Nancy finally stopped them in midst of their explanations. "Just tell us whatever you have been beating around the bush to not tell us." Nancy said straightforward and to the point. "Well, Ned and Callie met. They talked about how they were sick and tired of waiting for you guys to come home with out a mystery. Ned was tired of seeing Nancy take these life risking risks with out a thought to anyone if one of them proved fatal." Carson spoke. " Callie was tired of Frank running off during prom and ball for another mystery and to help Nancy." Alicia spoke. "Ned hated seeing Nancy being so close to Joe and Frank. Especially after your case in Egypt where you and Frank played a married couple, you two were too perfect together. It was one of his last straws." Hannah spoke quietly. "Callie tried to deal with you being so close to Nancy, you finish each others sentences and thoughts. Your mother and I have only achieved that after almost fifty years of marriage." Fenton said. "So during your case this past year and half Ned and Callie fell in love and were married." Aunt Gertrude said delivering the mind, soul, and shattering blow. " Yet, and I think I can safely speak for everyone here who knows you both and seen you work on your cases together and rush to each others aide no matter what; that you both belong together. This is just one more thing pushing everyone around you to believe this. I have seen you both work on cases and never be happier then when you are together." Aunt Eloise finished. Nancy and Frank were shocked. "Joe. did you know about this?" Frank asked. " I can't lie to you. Yes, I di." Joe got out before Frank was pummeling him with punches. Frank's words were not clear, but it was clear he was taking all his anger and frustration out on Joe. Meanwhile, Nancy was screaming at her Aunt, George, Bess, and Hannah. Fenton, Chet, and Carson pulled Frank off of Joe, who wasn't fighting back. Nancy couldn't believe her friends and families deception. Frank was fighting the hold the three males had on him. Nancy came over, took Franks hand and led him out the door. Now as the two sat in the little café, Frank in his tuxedo Nancy in a stunning blue gown. They were drinking hot chocolate, and just absorbing everything that had happened. Their minds were reeling at all their families had told them. "We did this to our selves. Frank. we caused this and yet we took it all out on our families." Nancy said as she shook her head. "I got in a fight with Joe, no matter how hard or where I hit him he wouldn't hit me back. He will never talk to me again. I screwed up big time." Frank said as he lowered his head to the table and banged it slowly. Nancy put her hand on his head and spoke, "Don't beat your self up over this. We need to go back and apologize, beg, and grovel. We were completely out of character." " Let's head back to the hotel. We can't hide out here forever. I just hope and pray they can find it in their hearts to forgive us for behaving so badly." Frank said as he stood up, threw some money on the table, and took Nancy's hand and helped her up and walked out. The Ritz Carlton Hotel ~ Penthouse Suites
Everyone was stunned at the ferocious way Nancy and Frank reacted, they knew it would be hard on them but their actions were almost inexcusable. Alicia and Aunt Gertrude tended Joe's cuts and scraped from Frank as Iola stood by. Bess and everyone else were sitting on the couches or chairs just thinking about all that happened. Everyone was just about to head to bed when they heard the door open and close. Frank and Nancy walked in. Everyone else just held their breath afraid of a repeat of earlier. " We both wanted to apologize to everyone. We caused this, yet hearing it made it sink in and instead of thinking before we acted we just reacted." Nancy said. Frank walked over to Joe and said, " I know sorry isn't enough for what I did, but at this moment it's all I have to give to you." "It's okay Frank. I understand, if something like this happened with Iola and I. well, I would've acted just like you." Joe said. Frank gave him a big hug and whispered, " I love you bro." Joe smiled and held the embrace for awhile. Nancy said her individual apologies, gave hugs, and then yawned.
"It's been a long few days. Why don't we all head to bed?" Hannah asked. Everyone nodded and headed off for their rooms, yet Nancy and Frank stayed. "I can't believe Joe and everyone forgave us." As he pulled Nancy in close for a hug. "Yeah, I mean we acted so horrible. I." Nancy broke off as she looked into Franks eyes. Frank leaned down as Nancy stood on her tiptoes and shared a slow and sensuous kiss. Finally they broke apart, yet they drew in for one more kiss before heading off to their separate rooms.
"Wow.it's about time. I didn't think they would ever kiss again! Maybe, if we can nudge them just a little we'll have a wedding. maybe even a double one!" Joe laughed to himself as he walked out of the bathroom and into his room with Frank.
