Disclaimer: I do not own Nancy Drew or any related characters or places. The only things I do own are copies of some of the books and the games.

A/N: Here's another chapter! I felt a bit bad about the quality of the last one, so I decided to edit this and post it right away!

I've written a couple chapters later on that are from Scott's point of view. Would anyone be interested in me posting them instead of a Nancy pov chapter? Or should I stick to just Nancy?


Entering the rustic store Nancy sighed. Driving the truck? Big mistake. She hadn't been able to see over the hood at all, and had ended up hitting virtually every pot hole there was to hit.

Pa looked up when she entered and smiled. "Why hello there, Nancy. Back already?"

His cheerfulness was so infectious that she couldn't help but return his smile. "Can't a girl come see a friend without an ulterior motive?" she asked, sidling up to the counter.

"That she can," he said. "But something tells me you want more than just to gab. That about right?"

"Yep."
