Woohoo! The next chapter! I've decided for this story to be about 10 or more chapters long since it's only going to be about Ian and Dan getting together. The sequel will be about what happens after they confess/start dating. It will be... dramatic and may or may not have Vespers, Vesper moles, new love interests, lots of Dian fluff, and a little gun that may go off. So now the disclaimer!

DISCLAIMER: Me? Own '39 Clues'? What drug are you on?

Amy Cahill had no idea what was going on with her brother, Dan Cahill. Or Ian Kabra for that matter. Or Sinead Starling. Or- really, the only one that acting at semi-normal was Fiske, but even that definition of normal was far from the actual meaning. She sighed. Maybe this Cahill reunion for the 4th of July was a good opportunity to find out what exactly was going on.

The other Cahills gradually trickled in. Sinead and her brothers, Ned and Ted, arrived first; then the Kabras arrived; next was the Wizards; Alistair Oh; and finally the Holts. Sinead, Hamilton, and Jonah gathered in a huddle not soon after and it seemed they sent the younger ones off on some sort of errand. Amy looked around for her brother and saw him and Ian walking outside. Next to each other.

She opened the door, which didn't go unnoticed by the trio in the corner, and followed them. She almost caught up to them when a hand yanked her back. She almost broke the offending person's wrist when she saw who it was.

"Sinead?"

"Shhh," Sinead said, motioning to Ian and Dan. She pulled Amy into the bushes surrounding the house. "It's just getting good."

Amy didn't know what Sinead was talking about but she settled down to watch. This is what she saw:

Dan: D:

Ian: *rolls eyes* -_-

Dan: ):

Ian: *talks*

Dan: *rolls eyes*

Amy was wondering what they talking about. It seemed as though both of were embarrassed about it but wanted to through whatever it was. She heard a crunching sound and looked over Sinead, Hamilton, and Jonah eating some popcorn. Wait. Hamilton? Jonah? When did they get here? Before she could ask, the sound of yelling grabbed her attention and she swung back to see what was happening between the two enemies. She could tell Dan was pretty flustered and angry by the tone of his voice even if she couldn't make out the words. Ian, in turn, returned them with just as much emotion as Dan. They entered a stalemate but neither side was willing to back down.

They were standing rather close to each other. Too close if you asked Amy. Then it seemed they were both leaning in and oh sweet Gideon Cahill, was Ian going to kiss her little brother?! Or, the better question would be, was Dan going to kiss Ian?! Not that she minded but, for one, she thought they hated each other and two, she wasn't sure she could entrust her little brother to him.

"DAN!" a very familiar voice rang out and Dan and Ian jerked away from each other, each staring at the ground with flushed cheeks. Madison and Reagan Holt then proceeded to drag Dan away for Gideon knows what. Ian was left alone, standing in the same spot while staring after Dan. Amy decided to make her move.

"Ian," she said, stepping out of the bushes while ignoring the trio's complaints. Ian jumped and turned to Amy with a nervous smile on his face. A small part of Amy's brain couldn't help but think about how fun it was going to be to mess with him. The larger part told it to shut up.

"A-Amy," Ian squeaked out, hands nervously doing what looked like a spastic routine. Oh yes, this was going to be fun. "W-What are you d-doing here?"

"Nothing," Amy said coolly, taking in his anxiousness. "Just watching you almost kiss Dan."

"K-Kiss D-Dan?! Never!" Ian panicked. Amy smirked in response, seeing the 'I'm-so-screwed' expression on his face.

"Now Ian," she began. "I have nothing against you or who Dan decides he likes. But if said person he likes were to, say, hurt him in any possible way then that would become a problem. Now you don't want to be a problem, right Ian?"

"Y-yes Amy."

"Good. I expect you to remember that in the future. Goodbye Ian."

"Goodbye Amy."

And with that, Amy Cahill leaving a shock silence behind. After all, she had her own boyfriend troubles to worry about and she was sure Dan would make the right choice. Besides, from the cheering from the bush trio and the glare Ian sent their way, she was sure Dan was in good hands.

So this is another kinda pointless chapter but I wanted to put Amy's reaction in. I hope you liked it! Other than that, there are only a few chapters left! The horror! But don't worry, I'll be sure to put up the sneak peek to the sequel soon, so look forward to it! With that, Leah is out!
