Hello! I was planning to update this on Wednesday, my birthday, but I couldn't wait any longer. Thanks to all my reviewers and favoriters. A few notes: I'm changing this to a Hamead fic, as they are probably my favorite pairing at the moment, but I will still have Amian. I'm also changing the rating to T. But anyway, read and review, it means a lot!

Sinead was working on the next tablet in her workroom when she heard a disturbance behind her. She turned to find Hamilton wincing at the noise and saw a test tube on the ground.

"You're lucky these things are shatterproof," she told him as she picked it up. She laid it on a table and led him over to a workspace. "Your job is to put these parts together." Sinead gave him to a pile of wires and memory boards. "The instructions are there." She pointed to a blueprint. "Any question?"

"Nope." He started following the instructions on the paper. Sinead watched him for a minute. After making sure that he knew what he was doing, she restarted the tablet in her workspace. They worked silently for more than half an hour. All of a sudden, he stood up, stretched and walked over with the half-complete tablet in his hands.

"How's this so far?" She took it from him and looked it over.

"This is prefect!" she said, impressed. "Do you want me to finish this and you can start a new one or do you want to complete it?" He didn't respond for a moment.

"You can. I don't want to mess it up now. I'll start another." He shuffled back to his work spot. This time they kept up a stream of chatter, talking about siblings, braches and teachers.

"I totally agree you about Mrs. Flores. But Mr. Sanchez? He's the second nicest, not the second scariest!"

"Are you kidding? The work today could be classified as cruel and unusual punishment!" Sinead cried.

"Fine, he may not have been the easiest teacher, but not the scariest! What about Professor Higgins? He seems creepy." The teens continued to argue as Sinead finished the next tablet and started the one Hamilton gave her.

Two hours later, they took a break. They had completed two more, so three total tablets were done. Sinead considered this to be a little less than a miracle. Almost as soon as Sinead sat down, her phone chimed, signaling that she had received a text. She pulled out her phone and scrolled to the message.

"Hey Hamilton?" He picked his head off the table.

"Yeah?"

"Grab your bag. The others want us to join them in the meeting center to do homework," Sinead said as she stood up herself, slinging her bag over her shoulder. He did the same, and they walked up the stairs leading to the bedrooms.

"Do you want to go through my room? It's closer," suggested Sinead uncomfortably. He nodded.

"Sure." She was glad she had cleaned her room the night before as they entered. She saw him scrutinize the room as she walked over and lifted the rug. She opened the trapdoor and gestured.

"After you." He smiled as he swung himself down the tunnel. She counted to ten, and then followed, hoping she gave him enough time.

Ian had been the latest to arrive, besides Sinead and Hamilton. Everyone was spread out across various spots. He was sitting next to Natalie. Everyone was still working on homework, including Dan this time, much to everyone's suprise. By the time Hamilton had slid down, Ian had had finished code breaking during study hall, math and another two chapters of English.

Ian had just looked up as Sinead shot out of the chute onto Hamilton.

Hamilton's arms instinctively went around her waist to steady her as she fell. She did stop moving forward; the plan actually backfired as she fell onto of him. He let go and she quickly stood. Sinead held out her hand to help him up. Well, tried to anyway. She pulled while he laid there like a rock, smirking. She eventually rolled her eyes and toted her book bag to sit over by Amy.

After checking that no one was listening, Amy immediately started questioning Sinead.

"Why were you late to English?" she probed.

"I tripped." Sinead replied.

"Why was Hamilton late with you?" Amy questioned further. Sinead looked furtively over her shoulder before leaning in.

"I…tripped," she whispered secretively before leaning back. "He just stopped to help me. I don't know what's so hard to understand about that." Amy sighed.

"Whatever. I can see I'm not getting an answer. What homework are you working on?"

"I gave you an answer. It just wasn't the one you wanted to hear. I'm on math. I finished code breaking." Amy smiled.

"Same!" They both started scribbling equations and such, stopping to compare answers. By dinner, most everyone was completed with math and code breaking. Dinner was just in time too. Everyone was starving.

Dan was bouncing in his seat as he waited for the steak to be done. He was disgusted with Hamilton at the moment, so he sat next to Jonah and Nora. Hamilton was almost as bad as Amy at hiding that he liked someone, and that person was obviously Sinead. Thankfully, Sinead was pretty oblivious when it came to nonacademics.

Dan quickly grabbed his eating utensils as the food finally arrived. As he dug into the mashed potatoes, he decided love was stupid. It makes people do idiotic things, like trusting a Cobra. Oops, a Kabra. Amy had been so depressed after Korea. Dan had no clue why people willingly submitted themselves to that.

Depressing thoughts aside, he was in a good mood as he went up to his room to hang out. He had acutally finished his homework with help from Ned and Ted. Though they were older then him, they were still pretty cool. He stared at the ceiling on his bed for a few minutes before finally grabbing a blank piece of paper to start brainstorming.

-a samurai robot with ninja powers.

-a webcam and microphone disguised as earrings. (Easier to spy on older sister.)

-those awesome contacts you see in movies but haven't been invented yet.

Dan decided to choose the middle one, just so he could keep check on Kabra. If Ian hurt her one more time, Dan was going to set Fiske on him. And by extension, the whole Madrigal branch. He decided to sketch them out and was working hard when the door burst open. Ned and Ted came in, Ted holding something in his hands, though Dan couldn't see what.

"Want to see our project for Ekat class?" Dan was confused.

"I thought it was a single person project," Dan quizzed. They nodded.

"It was, but he already made a pardon for us and Sinead and Hamilton. He'll probably let you pick if you work with someone tomorrow. Anyway, wanna see?" Ned asked. Dan nodded and Ted opened his cupped hands. Inside was a little beetle scuttling around. "Paint beetle," explained Ned. "Set a timer and they will explode, splattering paint everywhere."

"Clever," Dan remarked. They boys decided not to do a demo, so the Starlings left, leaving Dan deep in thought. A partner would be useful but who? Hamilton, Ned, Ted and Sinead were already working on something. Ian or Amy would ruin his plan. Reagan, Madison, and Jonah didn't have the skills needed. That left Natalie and Nora. The only problem was Nora seemed too… honest.

That left Natalie. In a way, it made sense. She was his age. Her brother was his target, along with Amy. She knew fashion, so she knew what to make it look like. She also had a devious streak that would be useful. Finally, she was close to Ian. That would benefit the final step. He grinned. After all, it would be weird for Dan to give Ian earrings for Amy.

Any suggestions? I'm sorry if it's awful, I'm really tired. Anyway, please review on:

-Any ideas for projects, moments, anything you want to see.

-Do you think I am focusing too much on the sixteen-year-olds?

-Any grammar. I went through it, so I hope it's better than the other chapters.

-opinions of how you like it so far.

Anything else! You guys are always so supportive. It means a lot. I am joining the beta reader community, so wish me luck! But I might take a while to update. I'm going through and fixing the mistakes you pointed out. Thanks again!

P.S. The Tomas and Madrigals will get you if you don't review.
