I'm back again! How was your Valentine's Day? Did you get lots of candy? I barely got any. I don't really like sweets, anyway.

And I will always love you...

Dan's P.O.V.
"Ow! You're stepping on my foot!"
"Why is this closet so small?"
"I can't even stand in here!"
"Ow! Did you just hit me with a broom?"
Natalie and Dan sat in the dark closet. It was too small for them to stand up in. Apparently, they were in a broom closet.
"Why would Jonah even have a broom closet?" Natalie asked, rubbing her head looking irritated.
"Well, where else would you put the cleaning supplies." said Dan.
Natalie glared at the door. "When I get out of here I'm introducing Belle to my dart gun."
"I can't believe she locked us in here." Dan grumbled. He banged on the door. "Hey! Open up!"
"Nope!" Belle said from behind the doorway. "Not until you two start getting along!"
Natalie grumbled something under her breath that Dan couldn't hear. He wasn't sure he wanted to, anyway.
Dan slumped up against the wall. "What do we do now?"
Natalie sighed. "I suppose we should discuss the party."
Dan shrugged. "I still think we should have a chocolate fountain."
Natalie glared at him and hit him with the broom.
"Ow!" Dan yelled, clutching his head. "What was that for?"
"You were annoying me." said Natalie.
Dan glared at her and picked up a spray bottle filled with water.
Natalie's eyes widened. "You wouldn't."
Dan gave her a wicked grin and held it out in front of him.
"Don't do it, Dan." said Natalie, scooting away as far as she could. She bumped into a mop. She grabbed it and held it out in front of her. "I'm not afraid to use this."
"And I'm not afraid to use this." said Dan, shaking the bottle for emphasize.
They both stared at each other. Then, the broom, again, hit Natalie's head. And Dan attacked.
He sprayed the water on her. Natalie slammed the dirty mop in his face.
"Gah!" Dan said, pushing the mop from his face, dropping the bottle in the process.
Natalie snatched it and sprayed it at him. Dan pushed the mop blindly towards her. It landed on her hair. Natalie shrieked and crashed forwards, landing on top of Dan. Just then the door opened, letting sunlight streak in.
Ian, Amy, Jonah, and Belle stood in the doorway. Ian and Amy looked at the scene, open-mouthed. Jonah and Belle were grinning.
Dan and Natalie suddenly realized the position they were in.
"Hey, what were you two lovebirds doing in here?" Jonah asked, teasingly. "Perhaps kiss-"
"No!" Dan and Natalie both shouted.
Dan felt his cheeks burning. Natalie looked the same.
"Why are you two wet?" Amy finally managed to ask.
"And why is my sister on top of you?" Ian demanded.
They both quickly tried to get away from each other. In their haste, they both just ended up on top of each other again.
Belle laughed. "This worked out better than I thought." She murmured.
Natalie quickly got off of Dan and raced out the door. Dan got up and brushed himself off. He walked out of the door. Amy gave him a look that said, "What happened?" Dan quickly shook his head and walked away.
He just wanted to forget what had just happened.

I hope life treats you kind...

Amy's P.O.V.
Amy walked into Belle's room. Belle stood in the center of the room. An easel was in front of her. She seemed to be painting something.
"Belle?" Amy said, knocking lightly on the doorframe. "May I come in?"
Belle looked at Amy and grinned. "Sure."
Amy walked into the room. She looked at the painting. It was a beautiful sunset that was different colors. Pink, blue, purple, orange, red, and yellow could be seen there.
"It's beautiful, Belle." said Amy with a small smile on her face.
Belle smiled. "Thanks. I'm not a Janus for nothing."
"So, you don't sing?" Amy asked.
Belle shook her head. "I'm more of a painter than a musician. I suck at singing. I can never play an instrument right." She turned to Amy. "So, what are you doing here, Amy?"
Amy shuffled her feet, nervously. "I-I wanted to see if you could recognize this handwriting." She held out the card she had gotten that morning.
Belle took it with raised eyebrows. "Why'd you come to me?"
Amy blushed. "Well..."
Belle smiled. "You think Luke sent this to you, don't you?"
Amy looked down and nodded.
Belle opened the card and examined it. "This doesn't look like Luke's handwriting."
Amy looked up. "Really?"
Belle shook her head. "It's nothing like his."
Amy was confused now. "Then who sent it to me?"
Belle shrugged. "I don't know. It could be anyone, really." Belle looked at Amy. "Have you even thought that it could have been Ian who sent this to you?"
Amy blinked. She hadn't thought of that. Amy then sighed. "But it doesn't look like his handwriting. Besides, he wouldn't do something like this, would he? He's already my boyfriend."
Belle shrugged and smiled. "People do crazy things for love."
Amy rolled her eyes at that cliche line. "Thanks anyway, Belle."
Belle nodded and got back to her painting. Amy walked out the door. If Luke hadn't sent it, who had?

Bittersweet memories, that is all I'm taking with me...

All of the Cahills stood in the living room. Jonah had called them all there. It was nighttime and it was dark outside. It looked like a storm was coming.
Amy was debating whether or not to tell Ian about the secret admirer issue. Dan and Natalie were going out of there way to avoid each other. Ian was staring suspiciously at Dan and Natalie, obviously still wondering what had happened in that closet. Belle was snickering at Dan and Natalie's expressions. And, well, everyone was doing anything besides talking.
Jonah came rushing in, looking breathless. "Guys! You'll never believe what happened!"
"What is it, Jonah?" Luke asked.
"I-"
Just then the lights turned off.

I will always love you...

I thought about putting down more, but I decided just to leave it there as a cliffhanger. :) You'll just have to wait and see what happens next. Could you all do me a favor and go to my profile and answer my poll? It's about whether I should do a sequel after this one. It'd be about the Cahills' vacation on spring break. Please, review!
IronShadow007: I never thought about pairing Luke and Jazmine up, actually. Maybe they will get together. ;)
Evanescence456: There you go! I put the lyrics of "I Will Always Love You". I never actually realized that Whitney Houston sang that song. I like it though.
criticderomance: I put some Natan romance in there. ;) I'm not particularly a fan of Natan. But I don't hate it either.
: Ha. I actually cried after my hair got singed by fireworks, too. After that, my dad kept trying to get me to go outside of the garage where I was hiding so I could see the fireworks. But I wasn't going to risk getting my hair burned again. XD
addicted2reading9: On July 4th my dad bought those mini firecrackers to make fireworks in front of our house. He put one down on the driveway and it suddenly exploded towards me. I wasn't even that close to the firecracker. It didn't hurt, but it was bright and hot. My hair smelled terrible. :( I had to cut some of it off. So, yeah. I'm not letting my dad buy anymore of those next year. XD
