Darling, everything's on fire...

Amy's P.O.V.

"I can't see!"

"What's going on?"

"Ah! Someone touched me!"

"That was me, you imbecile."

A loud crack of thunder sounded outside, making everyone jump. Hard rain poured down and a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, brightening the room for an instant.

"It seems the storm knocked the power out." said a voice that sounded like Ian.

"Okay, everyone stay calm!" Jonah, maybe?

"Someone's stepping on my foot!" said a shrill voice from a few feet away.

"Oh, that was your foot?" said an innocent voice that sounded suspiciously like Dan.

"You little-"

"What do we do now?" Amy was sure that was Nellie's voice.

"I guess we just wait until the storm passes." That was Belle.

"Wonderful, I knew I shouldn't have stayed here." That was Jazmine for sure.

"No one wanted you here." said Dan.

Jazmine let out a shriek of protest.

"Shut up!" cried Belle. "We can get through this without killing each other. It's only for tonight."

"Belle's right," said Jonah.

"So, what do we do until then?" Amy asked.

"Well... I guess we can just do whatever we want to do now, yo. There's not much we can do in the dark, though." said Jonah.

Amy sighed. This was going to be a long night.

The war outside our door keeps raging on...

Dan's P.O.V.

Dan sneaked up on Natalie Kabra in the living room. He could make out her silhouette in the darkness. He crouched behind the couch on which she was sitting on, making sure not to let her hear him.

"Boo!" Dan shouted, shooting up from his hiding spot.

Natalie screamed and fell off the couch. Dan laughed and ran away from the living room. His plan was to scare everyone before the power turned back on.

"Dan!" Natalie shrieked behind him.

Dan kept on running. He made his way towards the kitchen where Ian was. Ian sat at the table, eating something Dan couldn't make out. He tiptoed inside. Ian's back was turned towards him.

"Boo!" Dan yelled, right into Ian's ear.

Ian screamed and choked on whatever he was eating. Dan grinned, hit Ian on the back, and ran out of the room.

"Dan!" Ian roared in outrage from the kitchen.

Dan ran outside towards the pool. Jazmine sat at the edge of the pool, enjoying the night air. Dan smiled and walked silently towards her. Once he was close enough, he struck.

"Boo!" he yelled.

Jazmine let out a screech and fell into the water. "Not again!"

Dan let out a laugh and ran back inside. He ran towards the nearest bathroom. Amy stood in front of the mirror, brushing her teeth. She wasn't paying any attention to him. Dan stood near the doorframe, holding his breath, hoping Amy hadn't seen him in the mirror.

"Boo!" he yelled from outside the bathroom.

He heard Amy scream and spit out toothpaste. Dan put his hand over his mouth to stifle the laugh that was trying to come out, and ran away.

"Dan Cahill!" his sister screamed from behind him.

He heard various footsteps behind him. It seemed everyone that he had scared was running after him.

"Come back here!" Amy yelled.

Dan ran as fast as his legs could carry him. He ran into the nearest room and locked the door.

"Where did he go?"

"Follow me!"

He heard their footsteps going in the other direction. Dan let out a sigh of relief and slumped against the door.

"Any reason why you're in my room?"

Dan turned around. A tall silhoutte stood in front of him. He squinted his eyes, trying to make out who's room he was in.

"Luke?"

"Dan?" said Luke in confusion. "What are you doing here?"

Dan quickly explained the situation. Dan swore he could hear Luke stifling his laughter.

"Are you serious? You actually did that?" asked Luke.

"Yeah," said Dan, smiling. "I really couldn't help myself."

"Man, I wish I would've thought of that. Everything's so boring here since the power went out." said Luke with a sigh.

It was like a lightbulb went on in Dan's head. A mischievious grin split across his face. "Hey, Luke? Why don't we pull a prank?"

"What kind?" Luke asked, interested.

"Here's the plan..."

Just close your eyes, the sun is going down...

Jonah's P.O.V. The next day...

Jonah walked into the kitchen. It was morning, and the lights had turned back on a few hours before. He looked down at the kitchen table. A note lay there, addressed to him.

"What's this?" he said to himself, picking it up. He read:

Dear Jonah,

I dream of you every night. Your voice sings me to sleep. Everytime I see you it's like my heart is beating as fast as a butterfly's wings in flight. Would you ever be mine? Meet me outside at the pool in half an hour.

~S.

Jonah raised an eyebrow at the note. Who could have sent him this? It had to be someone here in his mansion. But who? He looked at the ending of the note. His eyes widened. There was only one person who's name started with an S. Sinead. Jonah gaped at the note. Sinead of all people had written him this note? It seemed so unlike her, but then again, Jonah didn't know a lot about the Ekat. Should he meet her? He bit his lip in concentration. He had no romantic feelings for her. He nodded, determined. He'd go meet her to set her straight. He just hoped it wouldn't break her heart too much. Jonah stuffed the note in his pocket and walked out the door.

Dan and Luke entered the kitchen. Dan suddenly burst out laughing.

"Oh, gosh, did you see his face?" Dan said, grinning.

Luke held back a laugh and nodded. "I can't believe he actually fell for that."

"Let's hope Hamilton does, too." said Dan, setting a note on the table.

Just then, Hamilton walked in. "Morning, guys."

"Morning," Dan and Luke said in unison.

"Hey, what's that?" Hamilton asked, looking at the note on the table.

"We don't know. It was on the table when we got here. It's addressed to you." said Luke.

Hamilton picked it up and read aloud:

Dear Hamilton,

I've watched you from afar for a long time, Hamilton. I've always had a huge crush on you. Whenever I see you, I can't breathe and my heart beats so fast. Can you be mine? Meet me at the pool in half an hour.

~S.

Hamilton gaped at the note while Luke and Dan tried to keep a straight face.

"That's some note, Hamilton." said Dan.

"I can't believe someone would leave me this..." Hamilton said.

"Who's S?" Luke asked.

Hamilton thought for a moment, then his eyes widened. "Oh..."

"What?" Dan asked.

"Sinead," Hamilton said. "It's from Sinead!" He started to pace the floor. "Oh, wow. I never knew she felt this way. How could I not have seen it?"

"So, are you going to meet her?" Luke asked.

"Should I?" Hamilton asked.

"Yeah!" Dan said, standing up. "You don't want to hurt her feelings, do you?"

"Of course not." Hamilton muttered. "I don't want to hurt her anymore."

"Then go!" Dan said. "It's in half and hour."

"Alright," Hamilton said. Then more determined, "Alright! I can do this."

"Go for it!" Dan said, as Hamilton walked out the door.

Dan and Luke looked at each other, then burst out laughing.

Come morning light...

"Where are you taking me?" Sinead demanded as Dan and Luke pushed her outside.

"You need some fresh air, Sinead. You've been cooped up in there for so long." said Luke.

"I just went outside yesterday." Sinead said.

"Exactly," said Luke.

Just then, Hamilton and Jonah walked outside.

"What are you two doing here?" Hamilton asked, looking at Dan and Luke.

"We just happened to be here the same time you were." said Dan, innocently.

Luke smiled. "What a coincidence, right?"

Jonah turned to Sinead. "Uh, Sinead?"

"What?" Sinead said.

"Um, you sent me this note, didn't you?" Jonah said, handing the note out to her.

"What? No. She sent me a note." said Hamilton.

Jonah looked at him in confusion. "No. She left me a note. On the kitchen table."

"That's where she left me a note." said Hamilton.

"What are you two talking about?" Sinead asked, looking lost. "I never wrote a note to any of you two."

"What?" Hamilton and Jonah said at the same time.

"Let me see it." Sinead said. The two handed her the notes. She gaped at the note. "I would never write this."

"Then who did?" Jonah asked.

Sinead turned to Dan and Luke. "Dan, Luke, did you two write the note?" she said in a dangerously calm voice.

"Dan and Luke are our secret admirers?" Hamilton said in disbelief.

"What?" Dan said, innocently. "Us?"

"How could you accuse us of such a thing?" Luke said, looking hurt. "We're perfect little angels."

Sinead snorted. "Now I know you two wrote it."

Safe and Sound...

A/N: Goodness, I hated writing those two notes. Blech, they were so cliche and cheesy. Please, review!
