I'm so to the zillionth power sorry about the mega-slowness! My laptop got a virus from a website I'd been using and died, taking some unfinished chapters with it but never fear! I got Word on my main computer so I'll be using it to update!

Bookgirl39: Heeey! Ian guess what!
Ian: Well judging by the ladder in your hand you bought a new ladder!
Bookgirl39: Correct!
Natalie: Great! Now get me down!
Bookgirl39: Do the disclaimer!
Natalie: Bookgirl39 doesn't own the 39 Clues! Now get me down!
Bookgirl39: Umm….
Ian: WHAT NOW?
Bookgirl39: I-I'm afraid of heights….
Ian: SEIRIOUSLY? My God, woman!
Dan's POV
It was the third day Amy had been gone. I better make the most of my last Amy-free day.
Meow
"Hey, boy! So, buzz-kill comes home tomorrow, what should we do with our last day of freedom?"
Meow
"Good point! But we still better take advantage of the freedom tonight anyway." Yeah, I understand the cat. He just pointed out that with Amy and Ian together they'd be out together a lot so we'd be free then as well.
Meow
"I couldn't agree more! I'll go spread the word and you go… " I was about to tell Saladin to go the store for supplies but then I remembered then he's a cat.
"Umm… you can… I know! You can help me! You'll be my messenger cat!"
"Kiddo, if I were anyone else I would send you to a therapist for talking to a cat." Nellie said walking in.
"But you're Nellie and you know what happened last time." I told her.
"Exactly. Anyway I'm going to Kat's party tonight. Will you be good while I'm gone?" Kat is Nellie's friend from collage.
"Sure, Nellie. Can I have some friends over though?"
"Sure."
"Awesome."
Natalie's POV
This was my last day without Ian. That meant it was my last day of being able to listen to loud music without him complaining, my last day of being able to stay up as late as I want, and my last day of not having to see him all depressed about Amy.
Well actually he won't be after this. They'll be together. I thought.
Great. Now I won't just hear about her everyday she'll probably be over her all the time too. I guess I'll just have to get used to her. Maybe I can teach her to dress better! This could actually be fun! Yep. I'd found a bright side in my brother's new girlfriend.
Then I opened my e-mail. What the heck? Since when does Daniel Cahill send me e-mails?
Well this was new. If Daniel actually e-mailed me that means either, A) The Apocalypse is coming or B) It's important.
I read it. Wow. For such an annoying dork he had a good idea.
Where: My house! (Click link below for directions)
When: Nine o'clock tonight!
Why: To celebrate my last day of freedom.
Tell your friends! RSVP ASAP!
~Dan
I quickly responded telling him I'd be there then I sent it to a bunch of my friends.
This was going to be good.
Voice's POV
I had a plan. If I could figure out the details it would be perfect!
Details… my plan had to work! I knew Amy would wake up around one thirty and if this worked… I need to figure out how to… I thought.
I was pacing my lair (yes I call my control room my lair) and I ran into a machine me and my minions (aka friends) had been working on. We'd been meaning to test it.
I grinned and looked down at sleeping Ian. No time like the present.
Ian's POV
*Ian's Dream*
I don't remember what I was dreaming about. Probably Amy. But all of a sudden everything is white. Like a blank sheet of paper.
"Good evening, Ian" Said Voice.
"Aw come on! What can't you control?"
"The weather and minds. I'm working on it. Not the point though. I need to stall you. You should wake up when I turn off my dream machine."
"Do I want to know what you're planning?"
"Yes. But I won't tell you… let's see we have about… ten minutes? But in dream time that'd be about three and a half. Perfect."
"What are you talking about?
"Hush. Listen."
Then a song started playing. Where did she find my list? I wondered.
I don't want another pretty face
Trust me, I get plenty of pretty faces.
I don't want just anyone to hold
I just want you
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You have a beautiful soul
I know that you are something special
Very special
And to you I'd be always faithful
I would never leave you
I want to be what you always needed
Just like you're what I've always needed
And I hope that you would see the heart in me
I do have a heart, love. Not that anything I've ever done would make you think so.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
I've been chasing you since the hunt
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
Well Voice wants me to waste three….
I want you and your beautiful soul
You might need time
To think it over
Take all the time in the world
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind if you give me the chance
Just one chance
I will never make you cry come on let's try
I promise. Please just give me a chance.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Am I crazy for wanting you?
Everyone seems to think so
Maybe do you think you could want me too?
You did but I wreaked that
I don't want to waste your time
Do you see things the way I do?
Do you still? Probably not
I just want to know that you feel it too
I wish you did
There is nothing left to hide.
I don't like hiding my love for you.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Your beautiful soul.
*End Dream*
I woke up. Stupid machine. I'll never get back to sleep.
I looked over at Amy. She looked so lovely. Wait a minute… I can see her. I realized that the moon was at.
Well may as well go see it.
Amy's POV
I slept for a little while but around one or two in the morning I woke up. I always wake up around that time. Normally I go back to sleep but I didn't tonight.
I just lied there for a while. Then I noticed something. The lighting was different tonight. Last night it had been pitch black but that night there was some light.
Oh duh! I thought to myself. The window! The moon must be out tonight.
I sat up and looked at the window. I saw Ian standing there, looking out over the forest.
Since I'd given up trying to go back to sleep I joined him.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Couldn't sleep?
"Nope."
"Don't go all one-word-answer on me again."
He smiled. "Well if it bothers you that much…"
"It does."
I looked out the window. There were lots of stars. I'd never seen so many in my life.
I looked back at Ian. He was staring at me. When he realized he was staring he looked away and turned back at the stars.
"Lovely night don't you think?" he asked.
"Very. I've never seen so many stars."
"Me either. I guess without all the light pollution we can see them all"
"Yeah. And the full moon too. It might just be on of the most beautiful things a person can see."
"Oh, I wouldn't say that." He smiled.
I looked at him for a second, confused. He just continues to look out the window, smiling secretly.
We just stood there for a while. I don't know how long exactly. Just… a while.
"Love, I… I have to tell you something." Ian said, nervously.
"What is it Ian?" I asked.
"Amy-"
Oooh! Cliffhanger! :p Mwahahaha I feel so evil! You have no idea what's up my sleeve! You think you don't but you don't! Or do you? Who knows? What do you think Dan is planning? So many questions!
Interview time! I'm going to do this after chapters from now on.
Me: Ian? Amy? Where are you?
*Ian and Amy run into studio*
Ian: Stupid girls!
Me: Really Ian? Just wear a disguise or something!
Amy: I can't believe them! That is the last time we carpool!
Ian: I thought if they saw you with me they'd assume you were my girlfriend and leave me alone!
Amy: Right, me being you girlfriend! That'll happen.
Ian: Really?
Amy: Sarcasm.
Me: Anyway, what are your thoughts on the chapter?
Amy: I'm wondering what Ian's going to say. Also I think Voice's machine is a little disturbing.
Ian: I'm actually wondering where you got my list.
Amy: You actually have a list?
Ian: Maybe.
Amy: That's a little creepy…
Ian: How? How is it creepy?
Me: That's all the time we have for today!
Amy: By the way, Ian, was that part true?
Ian: What part?
Amy: The part "I don't know what I was dreaming about. Probably Amy." Was that true?
Ian: *thinks for a minute* Yeah.
Amy: Creeeepyyyy
Me: DIRECTOR! CALL CUT!
*Toilet flushes in background*
Me: Really?
Director dude: Sorry! CUT!
