THE LAST CHAPTER! I can't believe I'm writing this…
Hopecahill39: Jonah! Get your hip-hop butt over here!
Jonah: Yo, hopecahill39 don't own me, any of my 39 clue homies, Glee, or any of their cover songs.
Hopecahill39: Thank you Jonah.
Hope woke up in a room she'd never seen before.
She turned on her side to realize she was in a hospital bed, but this wasn't a hospital.
"How're you feeling?" Anna asked.
Hope smiled.
There were her friends, Daniel and Anna.
"Fine, but I feel like a bunch of pins and needles got taken out of my legs." She moaned.
"That's because Sinead just did." Daniel said, smiling.
"WHAT!" She screamed.
Amy came running into the room.
"What happened?" Amy asked.
"Nothing!" Anna, Daniel, and Hope said at the same time.
Sinead and Nanny came in.
"Hope, Sinead has a going away present for you." Amy said.
Hope looked at what Sinead had wheeled in.
"Let me guess," Hope said smiling. "Not only is it a wheelchair…"
"… It's an epic wheelchair!" Nanny said.
Sinead smiled at her little sister.
"It has several settings. It is mechanical, so you just have to move the joy stick." Sinead said.
"Also, if you press this button here…" Sinead pointed at a yellow button.
"You might want to get in it." Nanny said.
They all helped Hope in the wheelchair.
Hope strapped herself in.
She pressed the yellow button.
She rose in a standing position.
"It will help you walk, run, but not hop, sadly." Sinead said.
Hope had a wide smile on her face.
"Thank you times 39!" She squealed.
"Do you want to go home, or would you guys like to stay here for a few more days?" Amy asked.
"Let's stay." Daniel said.
Hope and Anna nodded.
"Can I go upstairs really quickly?" Hope asked.
"Sure!" Amy said.
"Silver, Gold, Mercury, Blood…" Dan murmured.
He heard a knock on the door.
He hid all of the clues and opened the door.
"Hi." Said Hope, her wheelchair in regular mode.
"Can I-" She started to ask.
"Sure!" Dan said.
She wheeled into his room.
"Wow, still like ninjas, huh?"
His room was decked with ninja outfits, swords, pictures, everything.
Dan grinned like he was still eleven.
"Yup." He said.
Hope pressed the yellow button.
She became eye level with him.
"Daniel Trent." She said seriously.
Dan winced, but didn't correct her.
"You think I didn't know you're collecting clues, all over again? You think that will solve your problems?"
She asked, but she sounded now to Dan more of an authority figure than an eleven year old.
"Trust me. I know all thirty-nine clues too, and, and…" She started to tear up.
"If you make the serum, well, it will kill you.
Before the hunt 500 years ago started, Gideon Cahill himself took the formula, and he almost died from it.
I, I-, I don't want you to die either."
She said before she broke down and cried.
Dan pressed the yellow button for her and sat down.
"How do you know about my collecting of the clues?" He asked softly.
"Cahill authors." She sniffed.
Dan cursed himself in German.
"Please, Dan, promise me you'll not continue collecting clues." She pleaded.
Dan raised his right hand and promised.
"Thank you. Now, I have something planned for you and me to do to Ian." She said.
"How fun?" Dan asked, smiling.
She smiled mischievously.
"Cahill fun."
"KARIOKE NIGHT!" Sinead hollered.
All of the Cahills came rushing down like a herd of bison.
"Amy! You're up first!" Hope called.
"What am I singing?" Amy asked.
"One of my favs. 'Rumor Has It/Someone Like You' mash up by Glee." Hope said.
"Okay." Amy said.
She was very uneasy.
She thought she couldn't sing that well.
(Bold- lyrics slanting- Amy's thoughts underlined-Ian's thoughts)
Oooooh!
She, she ain't real,
She ain't gonna be able to love you like I will
She is a stranger,
Amy is a bit of a stanger to me… but we had the clue hunt, so not really.
You and I have I history,
Ian and I do have a history… a bad history.
Or don't you remember?
Sure, she's got it all,
If he did have a girl friend, she would.
But, baby, is that really what you want?
It most likely wouldn't be for Ian.
Bless your soul; you've got your head in the clouds,
You made a fool out of you, and boy, she's bringing you down!
She has the voice of an angel from heaven.
She made your heart melt but you're cold to the core,
She did make my heart melt, and people do say I'm rather cold.
Ian's really cold and he made my heart melt in Korea.
Now rumor has it she ain't got your love any more.
Rumor has it!
Rumor has it!
Rumor has it!
Rumor has it!
Don't forget me! I beg!
I remember you said,
I heard… that you, settled down,
Amy did settle down.
That you… found a girl,
She found Evan.
And you're, married now.
I heard that your… dreams came true
My dreams did come true, I guess. Until he told me he was a Vesper.
Guess she gave the things I didn't give you…
He did…
Rumor has it!
Rumor has it!
Rumor has it!
Rumor has it!
Don't forget me! I beg! I remember you said,
Sometime's there's lasting love, but sometimes it hurts, instead.
Definitely true.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you.
Ian's sort of like him….
I hope she thinks I'm good enough.
I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
Uh, no.
Don't forget me! I beg! I remember you said…
He was my first boyfriend. I'd hate for him to forget me.
Sometime's there's lasting love, but sometimes it hurts… instead.
Sometime's there's lasting love, but sometimes it hurts… instead…
Everybody cheered, but Ian was the loudest of them all.
"Oh I-an!" Hope, Sinead, Nanny, and Anna cried simultaneously.
"It's YOUR turn." Dan said, grinning mischievously.
"Oh crap." Muttered Ian.
"The song you've got is Lucky, Glee cover as well." Hope said.
"Anyone want to do the duet with him?" Anna asked.
No one volunteered, but Amy blushed.
(Same as last time)
Do you hear me? I'm talking to you.
How I ask in the dead of night, when Natalie is asleep.
Across the water, across the deep, blue, ocean under the open sky!
Oh my, baby I'm trying.
Amy stepped up and took the other mic.
Boy I hear you, in my dreams.
I hear you whisper across the sea.
I do. In the dead of night, I hear Ian apologizing over and over for Korea.
I keep you with me… in my heart.
He will always be in my heart.
You make it easy when life gets hard.
He does, sometimes…
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend.
Cousin!
Lucky to have been where I have been.
Not really.
Lucky to be coming home again.
Ohhhh, Ohhhh.
They don't care how long it takes,
They don't.
Waiting for a love like this.
Every time we say good bye, I wish we had one more kiss.
I'll wait for you I promise you I will.
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend.
Cousin…
Lucky to have been where I have been.
Lucky to be coming home again.
Ohhhh, Ohhhh.
Ian looked at Amy, and she looked at him.
"Oh crud!" Jonah said.
Ian leaned down and kissed Amy full on the lips.
Amy put her hands around his neck.
"This," Hope said to Dan. "Is Cahill fun."
"I believe you." Said Sinead.
Dan smiled.
A true smile he hadn't shared for many years.
Epilogue
Hope lived happily at school, standing up to bullies, getting A+ in all her classes, even getting 100 in gym! Daniel, Nanny, and Anna took care of her. Amy called her when they needed her for a mission. She was very good for undercover work. Dan stopped collecting clues and altogether was happier than before. Ian and Amy got together, and so did Sinead and Jonah (which caused many fan girls to cry). The Cahills destroyed the Vespers and found A.J.T.
The End
It's been an honor writing this story for you guys! BTW, Hope in the story actually represents me, and Anna and Daniel are friends of mine in real life, but I don't have a wheelchair…-hopecahill39
