Sinead POV

I checked my email after I took a nice hot shower when I got home from the beach. Still drying my hair with a towel, I opened my laptop. I smiled. This was the first thing I ever put together when the boys and I were about 3. Mom and dad were so proud of me. Of course the boys also created their own laptop. Over the years I took pieces apart and replaced it with more high tech parts. No one in the world had that same beauty like the one I have.I placed my laptop on my bed and looked around my room. I started living her at the Cahill mansion after the Vespers. I didn't think that Amy could forgive me for what I did to the family, to her. Amy seem to be a somewhat different from the timid girl from the Clue hunt. She seemed… a bit more distant from the family. She had really grown up, into a leader. But something kept nagging at my brain that something was somewhat wrong with her. Somehow, she let me stay here with her as Ted and Ned travelled around going to tech conventions and competition. Both of them got jobs at architects and designers of buildings. I stayed here and finished online university courses. I became the head scientist at NASA and I'm proud to be the youngest there. I met a guy, a year older than me named Kyle Pen who was one of the scientist in my district. He and I went to lunches sometimes to talk about some of our projects. My life was as normal as it could get. My walls were light green and my closest and normal clothes from Old Navy. I had a lot of dark colour clothes. I bought a white desk with a white chair for when I wanted to put things together. I couldn't help it so I had my tools displayed on the walls. Beside my white bed I had a white lamp table where I kept my poisons and blades for emergencies. I took precautions so I put a blade and poison by my bed, bathroom, under my desk and a few of them in my closet. As I changed into some comfy clothes (baggy t-shirt and sweats).

I heard a car come into the garage and I opened my door. Amy and Jake huh? I thought. Then I saw a snap of light as the two of them were about to kiss.

"Oh get a room guys!"

Of course it was Dan and Atticus being kids. I closed my window and picked up my book and began to read. Technology for Dummies had some mistakes that I loved reading about. Those things that were "impossible" were things that I proved was possible when I was a kid. Bing! my phone sounded. It was a picture of Amy and Jake almost kissing. Dan must have uploaded it to our family chat. After the Vespers, Dan made a huge chat that included the Kabras, Starlings, Holts, Wizards, and Rosenblooms. Thats how Amy called a huge family vaca here. I laughed at Dan's caption: aww lovey dovies...Better watch your back for kissing my sis Jakey. Att must have done some editing to it because there was heart drawn on the picture. I set it down as I heard the front door open and close and footsteps running to a room. Then I heard the front door open and close again

I hear a sound. Bing! I looked at my screen. New email. I sat on my bed and used the command system I installed into my laptop.

"Open email Katherine."

I named the voice on my computer Katherine after Katherine Cahill.

"Opening email from Hammy."

I blushed then cleared my throat. I read the email while combing my hair into a ponytail.

Hey Sinead. So uh… I was wondering if you would… you know want to do uh something with me tomorrow… You know… just the two of us. Meet me at the ice cream shop down the road at 1pm tomorrow. And um if you could just keep this between you and me, that would be great.

Ham

I smiled, then realized that this would be a date. What would I wear? I had to ask the fashionista in the house for help. I never thought I would need to call her for help on anything.

"Katherine, video call Natalie."

"Video calling Natalie."

I waited a while until Natalie's face appeared on my screen. She looked ever tired yet so beautiful even though I knew she was having her "beauty sleep".

"Ugh what do you want Sinead? Can you see I'm having my-"

"Beauty sleep I know. It's just...um well…" Ham said not to tell anyone so I had to think of a lie to tell her.

"This better be good or else I'll shoot you with my sleeping poison dart in your sleep." Natalie yawned.

"Last week I met someone…a boy… and he asked me out tomorrow. I need help with what to wear." I looked away from her. I slowly looked back to my screen to see that she wasn't there. I heard footfalls and a knock on my door. I slowly got out of bed and took my blade from my lamp table with me as I walked to open the door.

There stood Natalie in her pink tank top and shorts with her hair in a high ponytail.

"You got me at you met a boy."

Hamilton POV

23 year old Sinead just look so beautiful in her swimming suit today. Not that she was pretty when we were against each other during the Clue hunt when she was 18. She was so concentrated while she worked on her inventions. I just wish I had the guts to talk to her like Jake did with Amy. Since the Vespers I went to College to become a personal trainer which was easier than I thought. I spent most of my time at the gym. Most would say that my life was boring but really, it was a lot of fun. Last year when Amy invited the family to come over and live at the mansion for vacation I was so excited to see Sinead again. When I saw Amy coming down the stairs, she wore clothes that the even Natalie approved of. She was much...older. For some reason I kept an eye on her. When the gang and I went to the beach before Amy and the two guys, I pulled up the security cameras onto my laptop and saw Jake sneak up on Amy. She was more jumpy than usual. But it really wasn't my place to say if she was ok or not. I was just happy that she invited the whole family here. My mind travelled back to Sinead. I regret never really talking to Sinead after those 3 years, but it was only because I was nervous of saying something stupid like "hey you, you are so complicated like your tools and I just like that." She was 3 years older than me, and so I just wouldn't be able to take it if she rejected me. She was so stunning when she wore that navy blue dress on the first day. She was just..she was amazing. I knew she would never like me back so I did date another girl. I thought about the few years after the Vespers.

I was walking into the gym to meet my training partner. Nikki was at the reception and pointed at the blond, tan skinned girl stretching out on the yoga mat. I nodded back to the receptionist and walked over to the girl. She saw me coming and got up. She was wearing a black sports bra and black yoga pants with runners on. Her blond hair tied up in a high ponytail.

"Hi you must be Hamilton Holt my name is Amanda Perry."

From there, she and I started to become friends and after a while, we began to date. She was my age, 20 years old, and we, well I loved her. We would work out together, go and watch movies together, and go to the beach together. I loved the way she laughed, the way she would kiss me. But something was missing. I missed Sinead, she was always the girl I loved.

One day we were going on a walk on a trail and Amanda stopped walking.

"What's wrong babe?" I asked.

She turned towards me and took my face in her hands and kissed my lips tenderly.

She pulled away and looked up at me, "Ham, I… I'm moving."

I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest. Like she was putting a hole in life.

"Amanda what are you talking about? You're leaving? Where are you going?"

She looked away. Her huge, brown eyes melted my heart. She began to tear up and hugged me. Then she walked right out of my life.

I shook my head. I can't be thinking about Amanda. Not anymore. Opened the door to my room. It was painted blue and everything in the room was blue. My closet only had shorts and t-shirts. I sat down on my bed and put some music on while I looked through a fitness magazine. I heard the garage open and I looked out my window. Amy and Jake were going to kiss in front of the front door. Snap! Dan must have taken a picture. I sat back down on my bed when my phone buzzed. Dan sent a picture of the two to our family chat. I laughed. Maybe it was time for me to start acting like a man rather than a wuss. I took out my laptop and began typing.

Natalie POV

After we came back from the beach, I took a well deserved shower. I dried my hair with my hair dryer and I plugged in my curler. Dear Amy must have made this room specifically for me. It was painted pink with pink bedsheets, pink pillows and a pink lamp. There was a white desk with a white chair with a pink sitting pillow. There was a pink, fuzzy rug on the floor. I changed into my black shorts and pink tank top as I put my hair back into a high ponytail. When Amy called the family to come and have a vaca here, I "dropped everything" to come here. To be honest, I just brought my work here. This mansion was not as extravagant as Ian and my old home back in England. That was a spectacular place with servants everywhere. Here only had Nellie. Not that she was bad however, she was...interesting. Anywho, I was astonished by what Amy wore when she came down those stairs on the first day. Those short clothes? Beautiful. How it hugged her clothes and matched her hair and size, it, surprisingly, inspired me for my next line of clothes for women. Me, Natalie Kabra getting inspiration from a former bookworm. Something was very different with dear Amy, and I intend to find out. However Daniel took over my mind. I took my phone out of my pink purse and started to text Daniel. Ever since he came back from the military and found me that one day, it's felt like heaven. He is such a beautiful man now, 16 years old. He was the same age as me. I became such a fashionista through my amazing talents and world connections. My life is fashion. My fashion consultant, Levi Thomas, was always so helpful. He is 17 years old and he started in the round table business part of my company. He started he was 16 as an internship and last year I promoted him to the round table. His style was amazing as well. His piercing blue and and blond hair was always on my mind. I wonder if he has a girlfriend, not that I want him to be mine...though Levi was strong...and smart..and handsome...but I love and and we are as tight as ever. I still don't know how he got in and out of military school, yet he buffed up. He was a bit more mature then that child who used to play pranks all the time. Though he still does once in a while.

(Natalie Dan)

Hey Babe!

As I waited for a reply, I put on nail polish on my little fingers.

hey baby what's up with my beautiful girl?

I smiled. His girl. I was his girl.

Oh Daniel! Wanna know a secret?

All ears babe

Ian is going to do something for little Amy soon So sweet!

Uh what is he going to do :/ ?

Oh that is all I will tell you about the secret, you will find out soon do not worry :)

Ok fine. Wanna meet me on the beach tomorrow at 2pm? Gotta surprise :P

Sure hon! I need to sleep now. Goodnight love

Woah you sound like your brother...I don't really want to date you brother… jk love you. Night :-*

I switched off my phone and set it aside on my pink lamp table and placed my purse on the pink, plush chair next to the closet. I smiled and thought about the first time he and I went on a date. It was so romantic. We had flown to the Eiffel Tower and there sat a table for two. White cloth, silverware and butlers awaiting us. I smiled at the happy memory. I imagined me in his warm arms wrapped around me. The minute I switched off my phone and the lights were out I heard a Bing! I picked up my phone and saw a picture of Amy and Jake almost smooching. Aww lovebirds! I saved the photo onto my phone and brought my pink and black sleeping mask over my eyes and sighed.

Bing! I grumbled. The whole family knew that I need my sleep to look fabulious. It was my laptop binging. Sigh...why can't people just talk to me in the morning?

Atticus POV

There was something wrong with Jake, I just don't know what. His face was usually calculated but something is up. When he told me about Amy I just knew it was destiny! Dan and I've been planning on this the whole time. Ever since I first saw Amy, I...well...I thought she was the most beautiful creature in the the world. But when Jake saw her, I guess he thought the same thing. When he was being mean towards her, so many times I wanted to punch his arm or elbow him in the stomach. I knew that she was out of my league but hey, a guy's gotta dream right?

Anyways, something was up with Jake and Amy. When I saw Amy on the first day, she was so pretty. But anyone could see that there was a love battle between Ian and Jake over the fair maiden, Amy. I didn't want to be stuck between them so I just butted out. I couldn't really talk to Dan about Amy 'cause he would punch me for liking his older sis. Of course as a 14 year old boy, I've wanted to have a girlfriend for a while. But no one really got me like Amy. She just knew how to cheer people up. I looked at the picture Dan took of my brother and Amy on my phone and put it on my computer. I used my photoshop to cut out Jake and put Amy as my screensaver. I sighed happily. I really missed Amy after the Vespers and the Clue hunt. Sure I came over once in a while to game with Dan but...Amy changed over the years. Into an even more beautiful 19 year old woman. Oh Amy...
