(Alright, here's chapter 2 of "Detective Rachel". Thanks to Juansmarts, Caroliina, Ito-chan88, Umi Sagara, Kudo1412, The Time Traveler, and luna nuova for reviewing. Hopefully you readers will like this chapter as well. We're sorry for the long wait. Demon Brat 2000 had trouble thinking of what to write.)

(Rachel's P.O.V.)
I awoke from my deep slumber. Today marked one day since I solved that case before Jimmy did. I think he was still pissed off about it, judging from the way he was acting yesterday.
"Wow, what a beautiful day," I said happily after I opened up the curtains in my bedroom.
The sun was shining brightly once again; today was another perfect day to be poolside or on the beach!! I reached into one of my dresser drawers and pulled out one of my bathing suits. I ended up grabbing my dark blue one-piece suit.
Gee, I wonder if Jimmy's over it with yesterday? I thought as I changed out of my sleepclothes and into my bathing suit.
When I grabbed my towel, my sunscreen, and my T-shirt, I turned on my cell phone and called up Mathew.
"Hello?" I heard Mathew's voice say.
"Hey, Mathew, it's me," I said, cheerfully.
"Oh, hey, Rachel," Mathew said, happy to hear me.
"You set to go to Jimmy's to swim again?" I asked him.
"You bet," Mathew responded.
"Great, I'll come and get you," I said.
"What about Angela?" Mathew asked me.
"Don't worry, I'll call her up when I'm done speaking to you," I said.
After we hung up, I called up Angela.
(From Demon Brat 2000)
(Angela's P.O.V.)
I was just about done with breakfast when my cell phone rang. I picked it up and checked who it was. The caller was Rachel.
"Hey, Rachel, what's up?" I asked.
"Hey, Angela, you ready to go swim?" Rachel asked cheerfully.
"You sure sound happy," I assumed.
"Sure, I'm going. What about Mathew?"
"He just called. He's going," Rachel said.
"Ok, I'm going to take my things then. See you later, ok?" I said.
"Ok, see you." Rachel said.
I hung up and went up to my room. I got a bag out and got my orange one-piece swimsuit, my towel, sunscreen, and just in case, some extra clothes. When I was done packing, I pulled out my phone and decided to call Jimmy, just to see how he was doing. Surprisingly, he answered -- I wasn't expecting him to answer since he was so mad yesterday.
"Hello?" Jimmy answered.
His tone was a bit better than yesterday, but not exactly happy.
"Hey, Jimmy, it's Angela," I said.
"What?" He asked rudely.
"I was just wondering if we can come and swim," I asked.
I heard Jimmy sigh.
"Fine. But Just don't include me in anything." He finally answered.
"Well, how would we swim if you don't--" I tried to say.
I didn't get to finish my question because he hung up. I frowned. Jimmy never usually hangs up on someone unless he was busy!
(From Mat49324)
I couldn't believe it -- Jimmy was still in a bind about yesterday when Rachel solved the case before he did. For people who get beaten... even by a girl, it should be a little embarrassing, but you should commend someone, not go berserk on her over one little case.
"Well, I should go and meet Rachel," I said as I grabbed my bag.
I decided to change into my swimsuit after we got to Jimmy's. When I came outside the front door of my place, Rachel and Mathew were already walking by.
(Rachel's P.O.V.)
"Oh, Angela," I said as I saw her running to us.
"Heya, guys," Angela said to me.
"Nice to see you again on this beautiful day," Mathew said to her.
"Nice to see you guys, too," Angela said.
The three of us started to walk to Jimmy's house to swim again.
"Hey girls," Mathew said to us.
"Should we go to the beach around 1:00 today?" He asked us.
"Yeah, why not," I said.
"What about you, Angela?" Mathew asked her.
"Sure." Angela said.
"Did anybody try calling Jimmy?" Mathew asked us.
"I did," Angela responded.
"And..." I said, wanting to hear from the answer.
"He's still in a cranky attitude over yesterday," Angela finished.
"When will that Jimmy ever learn?" I asked myself.
(From Demon Brat 2000)
"Let's go." Angela said, ushering us to go.
We walked over to Jimmy's, when we arrived, Mathew rung the doorbell.
"Hey Jimmy, open up, it's us." He said.
The door opened up, revealing Jimmy in a black t-shirt and jeans. He gave us all a stare.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"Come on Jimmy, we're going swimming. Didn't you get ready?" Angela asked.
"I'm not going to swim, guys." He said.
"Why not? You said you would, I thought you liked swimming! What's with you?" Rachel asked.
He gave everyone a cold stare, when he reached me, I thought it grew even colder.
(Jimmy's P.O.V)
I wish these guys would just go on without me, I just want to be left alone! What can't they grasp from that?
"I'm not going to swim, ok guys? Just leave me alone today." I told them.
Rachel stepped in, she's probably still mad.
"Jimmy, what's with you after I solved that case? Will you stop holding grudges?" She demanded.
I was closing the door by now, but Mathew stopped me and said, "Hey Jimmy, don't be like that ok? We're just asking if you want to go swimming, and you don't. I'm fine with it, but if you need anything, just call. Angela, Rachel, and I all have our phones with us. If you want to come, just give us a call anytime."
Good grief, they are leaving… I closed the door on them after Mathew finished talking.
(Rachel's P.O.V.)
Stupid Jimmy, why can't he just let the fact that I got ONE case and he didn't?
"Hey guys, why don't we just go to the beach then?" Mathew suggested.
"Sure." Angela said.
I agreed as well, so the three of us took a bus to the beach. The day was pretty warm, and many people crowded the beach. It took us a while to get a seat, but we got one pretty close to a little snack shop. Angela said she would settle down for a while before she swims. Mathew told us he would go swimming, so he left his things with Angela. I told Angela that I want to see what the snack shop had to offer, so I left her for a while.
I arrived at the old, beaten down shop. Although it was in such a bad condition, there was an old man cooking and people seem to flock the front. I looked at the menu, maybe I should get something.
(From Mat49324)
(Angela's P.O.V.)
"So, what'll it be little missy?" The old man asked me.
"Maybe three fries, please," I responded.
"Coming up," The old man responded.
While I waited, I tried calling Rachel's cell.
"Hello?" I heard after 2 rings.
"Hey, Rachel," I said.
"You want some fries or something? I'm getting some right now."
"Yeah, okay," Rachel responded.
"And get some for Mathew, too."
"I am," I reminded her.
"Okay," Rachel said.
"I'm gonna swim now."
"Alright," I said.
"I'll come back with the food in a little bit."
"Okay," Rachel said and we hung up.
(Rachel's P.O.V.)
After I ended my call with Angela, I looked onward at the ocean and saw Mathew swimming in there freely. I decided to join him.
I gotta get wet anyway, I thought.
I wonder if Angela will come in the water, too when she comes back?
I went off to join Mathew in the water.
(From Demon Brat 2000)
"Hey Mathew, wait up!" I called out to him.
"Hey Rachel, I found these rocks all the way over there," He said to me.
"Once Angela is here, we could see what's there."
I shrugged.
"Sure, Angela is getting some food right now. Maybe we should go to see if she bought them already." I continued.
Mathew and I swam a bit, then we reached our small little site. Angela was waiting for us, holding out our food. I thanked her and got one.
"Hey Angela, Mathew thought we should take a look at those rocks over there, we both decided once we're done eating, we're going to take a look. You want to come?" I asked.
"Sure," Angela said, finishing her snack.
So once we all finished our snacks, all three of us got to the water.
(Jimmy's P.O.V)
I thought about going to the beach. I sighed and thought, maybe I should go after all… Didn't Angela tell me to call them when I want to go? I quickly dialed the first number than came into mind, Rachel's.
After a few seconds, there was no one there. Maybe she had forgotten her phone? I dialed Angela's and Mathew's. They must not want to talk to me.
"Sheesh, telling me to call them but they don't answer…" I grumbled angrily to myself. I decided to go to the beach anyways, so I took my things and headed for a bus.
The bus was too hot for my liking and it was also loud, but I finally made it to the beach. I scanned the place for a while, no sign of them. Could they have not been here at all? Did they trick me?
(From Mat49324)
After I got to the beach, I began to look for the girls and Mathew. This was going to be like finding a needle in a haystack.
(Angela's P.O.V.)
Mathew and Rachel had took me off to the rocks and they turned out to be great rocks to jump off of into the drink, and that's what we were doing.
"Man, is this a ton of fun or what?" Rachel asked after we all had jumped into the ocean.
"Yeah, we could do this for hours," Mathew responded.
"Mm-hmm," I agreed.
We were having a ton of fun jumping off the rocks; each time we did it, we had so much more fun than the last jump.
"Say, shouldn't we head back?" I asked.
"One more jump from each of us," Rachel responded.
"Okay," Mathew responded.
One by one, the three of us jumped from the rocks back into the drink before heading back to our spot on the beach.
(From Demon Brat 2000)
(Rachel's P.O.V.)
"Wow, that was fun," I said to the other two.
"Too bad Jimmy didn't come," Angela said.
"We had fun anyways," Mathew stated.
I stretched my arms. I was about to run ahead of the two when I saw someone by our stuff.
"Hey guys," I said seriously.
"Who's that?" I asked pointing to the said person.
Mathew squinted to see.
"I don't know, Rachel, but whoever it is… I think he is messing with our stuff!"
Suddenly Angela gasped.
"I left my phone there!" She cried.
She began to run ahead of us.
"You two, I'll go ahead and see if he stole anything!" Angela said to us.
"Oh no, I left my phone there too!" I cried.
"And all my other things!"
(Jimmy's P.O.V.)
"Sheesh, I found their things but I can't find THEM!" I cried, exasperated.
Then, I heard footsteps. I turned to see Angela running towards my direction. She stopped when she saw me and gasped for breath.
"Oh… It's just you… Jimmy…" She said to me.
"Yeah, it's me," I said.
"You told me that I could come anytime. When I called you, you weren't on. Neither were Rachel or Mathew. So I just came."
"Heyyyy!! Angela!" I heard Rachel yell out.
I peeked behind Angela and saw Rachel and Mathew running towards us.
"Hey guys," Angela said.
Rachel looked at me. At first, I thought she was going to yell at me, but she said, "Hey Jimmy, glad you came."
"Yeah…" I replied.
"I'm going to change, then…"
I headed off to the nearest changing rooms.
(Mathew's P.O.V.)
It was good that we saw Jimmy and that he's starting to act normally again. He still sounds kinda bitter though.
"Hey, I'll go with him in case he gets in any trouble," I told the girls.
"Yeah, like his swimsuit is too small for him?" Rachel laughed.
"Yeah, like that," I ran off.
"See you guys in a while."
"Ok, see ya," Rachel responded.
I ran towards the changing rooms where I thought Jimmy had ran off to. I knocked on one of them.
"Hey Jimmy, is that you?" I asked.
A muffled sound came from the door, but it was Jimmy.
"Yeah, be out in a sec." He responded.
"The girls are going to wait for us, ok?" I said.
"Ok, I'm out," Jimmy said as he walked out in his blue swimshorts.
(Angela's P.O.V.)
"Hey Rachel, do you think Jimmy will start to act normally again?" I asked.
Rachel smiled.
"I'm not 100 percent sure, but he will be." She responded.
"Do you think he'll be mad if you take another case again?" I whispered, knowing the boys will be back in a few moments.
"I really hope not," Rachel sighed.
"I mean, I'm his best friend. Why would he get so mad at that? That Jimmy…"
"Ha, yeah…" I said.
"Hey girls, miss us?" I heard Mathew ask from behind us.
"Well, I have to say, you almost killed me with fright!" Rachel cried.
I smiled at her.
"Well, that would be a strange murder! 'Girl dies in beach!' No one will know why! And it's all because she got scared!" I joked.
"Haha, come on, let's go swim," Rachel said getting up from our seat.
I brushed myself off of excess sand and followed along after the running Rachel. The boys followed along. Maybe this day won't be so bad after all.
End chapter.
