Into the Gauntlet: The Ultimate Challenge
ASHLEY: Chapter 1.A
I should have known the second I woke up that morning that my life was about to be changed forever.
Mainly because it was the second week of summer, and my mom woke me up at seven in the morning.
I groaned as she turned my room's light on, shouting 'Rise and Shine!' as she pulled my blanket off of me. I looked up, glaring at my mother with a look that could kill someone if I really wanted to.
"Ashey! You have that job today, remember?" she said, shaking me back and forth.
My eyes bolted open as I shot up. "THAT'S TODAY?" I screamed, instantly running over to throw on a shirt. My local theater had offered me a job as a teacher's assistant this summer, and it paid $10 an hour; cash I needed if I was saving up to get a car at the end of the summer.
My mother shrugged. "I keep telling you that you need to get a calander." she ruffled my hair as I struggled to pull a pair of shorts on.
"Yes, but I always lose them!" I yelled, running over to get some shoes from my closet.
My mother sighed a grabbed a pair of shoes from under my bed, thrusting them at my chest. "Here's a solution; clean your room."
"I'm waiting until one day when I'm rich and famous and I can pay someone to clean it for me." I said with a wink. My mom let out a giggle before turning around to exit my room.
I walked over to my coin-bank as my mother left and plopped a couple of coins in it. "Only a few hundred more," I said with a smile, writing my new total on my white board.
The next thirty minutes was a whirlwind. I finished getting on my uniform and ate some cereal, then My mom drove me to my job.
I 'worked' for five hours (Even though I felt like I wasn't doing anything except staring at children) my mom came back and picked me up, asking me all sorts of questions about 'how my day was' and stuff.
When I got home, I collapsed on my bed and took a nice, hour-long nap. I didn't know why, exactly I was tired, I hadn't really done anything all day, but nonetheess, the nap felt good.
As I woke up, I yawned and picked up my laptop, realizing I hadn't checked e-mail all day. My inbox was crazy.
Kate: HEY!!!
Kate: Where are you?
Krissy: LOL this is so funny!!!!!
Rick Riordan: Into the Gauntlet: The Ultimate Challenge.
I raised an eyebrow. Did the 39 Clues e-mails normally say they were from Rick Riordan? And what the heck was 'The Ultimate Challenge'? A new book?
I clicked the e-mail and allowed it to load for a long moment. Slowly, the black text emerged on the white screen.
To: Ashley
From: Rick Riordan
Subject: Into the Gauntlet: The Ultimate Challenge
Message:
Dear Ashley (SteelBone2),
Hello. You have been chosen among 24 others from the vast fanbase of The 39 Clues series to compete in a Challenge. The Ultimate Challenge.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rick Riordan. I am one of the Authors of The 39 Clues series. I know this may all be confusing, so let me break it up for you.
First off, no, this is not a group e-mail. This is personal to you from me. If you want proof, I can tell you that you're Message Board Janus Leader right now.
Secondly, last week on the Message Board, we sent out a poll to every user asking the 25 most popular people. You were one of the voted ones. Congratulations.
Next up, the reason you 25 have been chosen is because many people believe The 39 Clues series is real. Sadly, at the current moment, it's not. You will change that.
You and the other 24 will be taken to one of the Scholastic Headquarters to meet me and some of the other authors in person. There, you all will be given $10,000, each. You will then be sent on an all-summer Challenge to find the 39 Clues scattered all around the world.
The best part? It will all be on television.
No one will be in an alliance. It will be one-on-one. You can make alliances throughout the challenge, but ultimately, there will be one winner.
The winner will earn a nice $25,000 to keep and be mentioned in a 39 Clues book.
Please respond saying if you are able to compete. Thank you, and remember to Trust no one.
Rick Riordan I stared at the e-mail for a long time before I screamed: "MOM!!!"

P.S. Next up: Grace.

Hey Ashley :D Sorry if this is a problem, but could I be #25? Another author (Patrick Carman, eg) could barge in with me in the middle of meeting your "Nellies" and introduce me or something. If you're looking for an Ekat, that's fine, if you don't want me to join, that's OK too, but I think it would be a cool writing experience :D (and I really want to show Joe how hard I kick, too) Please consider, thanks!

One problem, Ashley. How many people can you sponsor, one or two? I'll be sponsoring FieryAssassin155 (Madellin, V8). Also, how do we let you know if our sponsor gets 5 likes?

When I heard we were getting Nellies', I was thinking
" There is no freaking way they can raise the bar." then..."OMIGOSH WE'RE GETTING SHATTERPROOF!"
I saw Emily, Livy, Liz, and David sitting down in the seats. The authors dismissed us. But where was Jude Watson? When I was leaving, I bumped into a lady with fiery red hair and a peaceful, knowing expression. Madrigals basically define calmness. So...Jude Watson was right in front of me. I looked back and start raising my hand to her face to see if it was a hologram. I mean she is an Ekat too.
"Hello, Miks. Glad to see you came. How did your mom agree?" asked Ms. Watson
"Oh, I said there would be a long seminar/camp. One of the moderators, Jen B, I think gave her paperwork to sign and she bought it."

William: Chapter 2.
I was at the Scholastic HQ with a smile on my face because I was excited. As I walked up the steps, I saw a few authors. Gordon Korman and Peter Lerangis to name a few. I was so shocked to see them that I bumped into a person.
"Excuse me?" a voice said. I was about to say sorry when he suddenly said,
"Hello there, I'm Red."
"Hello there Red, I'm William."
"What, you're my soon to be VP of the C.C.S. soon. I never would have guessed."
"Anyway,"I said, "What do you think of Into the Gauntlet:The Ultimate Challenge?"
"Brilliant!"he said.
I was walking up the steps with Red and a few other kids beside me and we all saw a sign saying ITG:TUC. We all walked into the room and then I saw Ashley sitting on her chair, which said Ashley.
"Hi, I'm Ashley" Ashley said.
"Ashley!" a girl screamed. Everybody introduced themselves to everybody including me. I was shocked to know that Grace was actually with us walking up the steps.
I sat down on a chair which said William. Dracia's chair which said Dracia was to my left and a chair on my right said Jason. "I'm sitting beside Jason!"I thought to myself.
"Hi there William, I'm Jason." Jason said.
"Dia Duit!" I said in Irish.
"What?" Jason said.
"Sorry there it's just Irish. I said hello."I said. Just then Jason went over to a group with about six other people.
A few more people came in including Joe. Ashley suddenly said,
"Well, if it isn't Public Enemy Number One! Get over here Joe!" Joe went over and introduced himself, I presumed. He then went over and sat on his chair.
A man went onto the stage and said, "I guess Kurt won't be joining us so it's down to 24.
Most of the people suddenly shouted "HUNGER GAMES!" but I didn't.
This sumer-long competition will be a great and fun experiance for all of you, so be sure to have fun with it! I see many of you are already making alliances-" he was looking at our little group "-which is great. But just like in the 39 Clues books, there can be one winner."
Nearly the whole room groaned with annoyance.
"Gift bags are being handed out now, including your money, your passports, and a surprise."
"Shatterproof!" a girl screamed.
"We figured you would like some road-reading" Rick said.
"We now want to go over the rules. First: you were each given only $100. You're personal 'Nellie's' have the rest." A group of young adults waved at us in their 20's.
"Second: I cannot stress this enough; This is not the Hunger Games. There will be no killing. No harming in any serious way. You can trap. You can minor burn, scrape, bruise or slap, but if someone gets seriously hurt, then the person who hurt them is out for good. Understood?"
I nodded along with everyone else.
"We will have some training for you through the coming week, but nothing will prepare you for this summer. Now go ahead and meet your Nellie's!"
A young woman with brown hair and brown eyes walked over to me and said, "Hi, I'm Marie, your 'Nellie' for the summer!

Chapter 2
As soon as I read my e-mail, I ran around my house screaming "I'M RICH! I'M RICH!" until my sister did a slide tackle, and sat on me.
"Woah there. Let's stop and reflect on who is 18, and has a job. That's right, me. The almighty Cristina," she said.
Then my mom came in, grinning like a little kid. "So you finally got the email?" she said. T
hrough shock, and my sister's butt, I said, "You knew?"and she just nodded. My brother and sister were now standing up(thankfully. My sister's behind would have suffocated me), and looking puzzled. My mom gave a quick explanation, and there was a knock at the door. I knew it was Gordon Korman, because he'd been to my library once. (Not even kidding)
So, he did his whole "I'm Gordon Korman" thing, and then paused, and I just looked at him like, "What?" I guess he was expecting me to jump up and down and scream. So there was an awkward silence, and then he pulled out a picture signed by him, Rick riordan, Peter Lerangis, and Margaret Peterson Haddix. Then I started jumping and screaming like I was meeting Iron Man. So, I was whisked off to the Scholastic Headquarters, and I walked in, immediatly looking for Emily. It wasn't very hard. She, oddly enough, was the one singing 1D, and being chased by the authors to get off the tables.
I walked up to her and shouted, "MOOOOOO!" and she immediately got off the table, and "Moooooo'ed back. And so we started talking. I 'accidently' tripped Joe, and he got up screaming angrily. Emily, Miks, Liz, and I just ran away laughing.The next 20 minutes was a blur. There was something aboutthe Hunger games, then they passed out shatterproof, and then I was totally out until a guy walked up to me, and was all like "I'm Tanner," and I just stared

Anyone can post???KK
Dani's POV
"Daniella!" My mother called from the landing, "Get up already!"
I rolled my eyes and snuggled deeper into my comforter. For a moment i imagined telling her i wanted to be called Dani. Never gonna happen
.I began to drift off into dreamland again when i heard the click of the light switch . I cracked open my eyes and was glad to see that it didn't penetrate my cavern, also known as under my blanket. I started to drift off again; a candy forest and a prince that happened to look like Liam Payne started to take over my senses. Relaxation here I-
"Daniella!" her voice was harsh "A proper lady doesn't sleep past 7!" she chided.
I flew out of bed. “Seven?!?!" i yelled "I'm gonna be late for school!" “Going to” she corrected mildly, picking her way through the messiness. “I hope you were planning to clean this, young lady, because Anna has enough work making orderves (sp?) for tonight, you do remember that we have company, right?
“Sure, sure, “I replied, not really listening. I hurriedly pulled on a tank and capris. How could i be late for the LAST DAY of school? I paused for a second.
"Mother," i tried to keep my voice soft like she told me to, “This isn't like the scene in those movies where the girl thinks she's late for school and realizes that its the first day of the summer vacation that will change her life forever, right?"
She placed her hands on her hips. “No, now go change Daniella."She looked me up and down "If you insist on changing twice every morning, you'll eat breakfast on the walk to school every morning"
I sighed. If only my life was like a movie. Full of adventure and mystery, danger lurking around every bend. Like-like Amy Cahill or Indiana Jones.
I bet their lives weren't filled with etiquette classes or sitting straight or cotillions or social gatherings. I sighed as i pulled on a lacy cardigan and a skirt. I was almost tempted to put shorts on under, but mother was "in league" with the school board, which is another way to say the chairperson is head over heels in love with her. She’d find out one way or another
I heard her muttering about my wild ideas and awful manners as the click of her heels faded and examined myself in the mirror, same as every other day.
Curly strawberry blonde hair now pulled into a messy braid. A few locks drifted out of their loose hold and I blew them out of my eyes. They tickled my cheeks and framed my prominent cheekbones. I smiled.
My eyes came next, hidden under dark brows; I've always been told that they weren't noticeable, unimportant, not special in any way. My mother loved to tell me that I would be pretty if I had her brown eyes, but I've always heard about warm brown eyes being so attractive, so I doubt her stone cold ones would be that great
I liked them. A little like muddy ocean water, blue and green and grey swirled together, each color fighting to smother the others, leaving me with an interesting mix. They were exactly like my father's, except his had little crinkles at the end when he smiled, so they were always crinkled. Well, always when he was away from mother. I shook my head, trying to dislodge any thoughts of my father, which always left me bitter and unhappy. I'd always thought that I'd live with him after the divorce, but what mother wants, she gets. Apparently she didn't want my brothers though.
I shook my head again and a few more strands came loose from my braid. My muddy eyes traveled to my outfit. White tank top with navy flowers, complete with a navy lace cardigan and matching skirt. Boring as always.
"Daniella! Hurry up!" I heard my mother call from the bottom of the steps. "How would I look if you’re tardy? Get a move on!"
I rolled my eyes again and grabbed the kitten heels i was required to wear. Apparently 'proper ladies' never heard of converse. "Coming" i yelled.
I swiped an organic blueberry muffin from the hot tray Anna, our cook, was bringing to the table.
"Have a nice day, Daniella!" she called out.
She looked over her shoulder to make sure mother wasn't watching and tossed me a piece of chocolate. She winked at me and her smile made her round face look as bright as the sun, which wasn't shining in the middle of June.
"Stupid Minnesota weather!" I muttered. It had been gloomy the past few days, as if freak blizzards in winter wasn't enough.{There actually wasn't more than a couple inches of snow this year, luckily, but lets assume its a normal winter in MN}. My cell vibrated and pictures of my New Yorker friends end of the year field trip buzzed in. They went to Coney Island, as is tradition for 7th graders.
I sighed and scrolled through; wondering of they missed me as much as i missed them. Then, I noticed the time.
7:58… two minutes to walk half a mile
I was so dead! I took a bite of the muffin and glanced behind me. Mother would be applying her make up right around now. I decided to take a chance and crouched under the Morrison's blueberry bush, praying that no one found my hiding spot from April till now.
Score! I felt the smooth underside of the skateboard dad sent me for a housewarming gift. I had complained about everything in town being so far away, no well-established metro or even bus and was rewarded. I threw it on the ground and it began rolling. I ran and hopped on, my knapsack thumping against my back all the while. I began to gain speed, pushing my foot against the ground every couple minutes, but then I began to get some trouble. I swerved to avoid the pedestrians, jumping over litter and ducking under branches. I would’ve chuckled at how comical it was getting, but I was too busy steering for my life. The warning bell clanged in the distance, I wasn’t going to make it! The last crowd of kids was surging through the doors. “Outta the way!” I called frantically. They moved aside and Austin Carran, the coolest guy in school, held the door for me. I shot him a grateful smile and rolled through the door of homeroom. “Daniella Cahill?” Ms. Garbanje peered at me over her spectacles, a twinkle in her eyes. “Present” I said weakly. *’’’’’’’*”””””*””””””*””””””*””””””””* I let myself be pulled into the courtyard by my friends, a usually empty spot during lunch time. The weather was still gloomy, but my mood wasn’t. I laughed and chattered and blew straw wrappers like always, just goofing off, something that I couldn’t do at home. Suddenly, a hush fell over the crew staring at me. “What is it?” I looked myself over, examined their faces, and patted my hair I found a green leaf tangled in and pulled it put, “Better?” “I kinda liked it better with the leaf Prin” The girls’ eyes widened and stared. Arisa motioned for me to look up. “Its Daniella, Dallas” I stared at him, head bent all the way back and we looked at each other for a moment. “Prin- y’know, short for Princess” Austin sat down and looked at me innocently. “And what makes me a Princess?” I asked
“Your princess curls.” He pinched a stray lock between his fingers and pulled it gently. “Boing” It sprung up, like a spring and we laughed. The girls exchanged glances with each other, then looked at us with wide eyes, then exchanged glances again. I rolled my eyes. “That was quite an entrance today, princess” he smiled.”But I hope you know, I was only being a gentleman today.Next time your riding straight into that door “Leigh, Melody, Arisa, meet Austin” I motioned to first the brown eyed doll, then the Irish one with the red hair. “My friend” I stressed, not mentioning the fact that I had a crush on him. That would only give them ammo for blackmail Arisa was my closest Minnesota friend, yet she wasn’t even Minnesotan. She was an exchange student from Japan. Austin nodded his head.”’Sup?” They all shuffled with the awkward small talk till Melody brought out some confetti poppers. It was a half school day, so we began to count down, Austin’s friends joining us. I tossed my popper in the air when we got to ten and it rolled slightly away. A kind custodian handed it back to me. She seemed familiar with her brown eyes, brown bob and dazzling white smile. As if I saw her every day. Our countdown reached one and we all pulled the strings. The confetti exploded in the air, but mine was stuck. I didn’t think till later, on the walk home to try again. This time it opened, but there was no confetti in it, only a small, folded paper slip.

Dear Dani, aka DancingDragn49
Hello. You have been chosen among 24 others from the vast fanbase of The 39 Clues series to compete in a Challenge. The Ultimate Challenge.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Margaret Peterson Haddix. I am one of the Authors of The 39 Clues series. I know this may all be confusing, so let me break it up for you.
First off, this is personal to you from me. If you want proof, I can tell you that you're a native New Yorker with a couple Amian stories on the message board, the most successful of which is A lot has changed Amy Cahill.By the way, I enjoy it very much, so hurry up and post!
Secondly, last week on the Message Board, we sent out a poll to every user asking the 25 most popular people. You were one of the voted ones. Congratulations.
Next up, the reason you 25 have been chosen is because many people believe The 39 Clues series is real. Sadly, at the current moment, it's not. You will change that.
You and the other 24 will be taken to one of the Scholastic Headquarters to meet me and some of the other authors in person. There, you all will be given $10,000, each. You will then be sent on an all-summer Challenge to find the 39 Clues scattered all around the world.

The winner will earn a nice $25,000 to keep and be mentioned in a 39 Clues book.
Please respond saying if you are able to compete. Thank you, and remember to Trust no one, not even Austin, who you suspect has been writing those notes. Remember to tell him that you have to drop out of the play.
Margaret Peterson Haddix, author of Into the Gauntlet
PS You know what I’m about to say about you know who, but just go for it.
With a stange feeling that I could not describe, I realized exactly why I recognized the new custodian. After all, she’s on the book jacket of some of my favorite novels. I had just met Margaret Peterson Haddix. And she was giving me relationship advice

It had been gloomy the past few days, as if freak blizzards in winter wasn't enough.{There actually wasn't more than a couple inches of snow this year, luckily, but lets assume its a normal winter in MN}. My cell vibrated and pictures of my New Yorker friends end of the year field trip buzzed in. They went to Coney Island, as is tradition for 7th graders.
I sighed and scrolled through; wondering of they missed me as much as i missed them. Then, I noticed the time.
7:58… two minutes to walk half a mile
I was so dead! I took a bite of the muffin and glanced behind me. Mother would be applying her make up right around now. I decided to take a chance and crouched under the Morrison's blueberry bush, praying that no one found my hiding spot from April till now.
Score! I felt the smooth underside of the skateboard dad sent me for a housewarming gift. I had complained about everything in town being so far away, no well-established metro or even bus and was rewarded. I threw it on the ground and it began rolling. I ran and hopped on, my knapsack thumping against my back all the while. I began to gain speed, pushing my foot against the ground every couple minutes, but then I began to get some trouble. I swerved to avoid the pedestrians, jumping over litter and ducking under branches. I would’ve chuckled at how comical it was getting, but I was too busy steering for my life. The warning bell clanged in the distance, I wasn’t going to make it! The last crowd of kids was surging through the doors. “Outta the way!” I called frantically. They moved aside and Austin Carran, the coolest guy in school, held the door for me. I shot him a grateful smile and rolled through the door of homeroom. “Daniella Cahill?” Ms. Garbanje peered at me over her spectacles, a twinkle in her eyes. “Present” I said weakly. *’’’’’’’*”””””*””””””*””””””*””””””””* I let myself be pulled into the courtyard by my friends, a usually empty spot during lunch time. The weather was still gloomy, but my mood wasn’t. I laughed and chattered and blew straw wrappers like always, just goofing off, something that I couldn’t do at home. Suddenly, a hush fell over the crew staring at me. “What is it?” I looked myself over, examined their faces, and patted my hair I found a green leaf tangled in and pulled it put, “Better?” “I kinda liked it better with the leaf Prin” The girls’ eyes widened and stared. Arisa motioned for me to look up. “Its Daniella, Dallas” I stared at him, head bent all the way back and we looked at each other for a moment. “Prin- y’know, short for Princess” Austin sat down and looked at me innocently. “And what makes me a Princess?” I asked
“Your princess curls.” He pinched a stray lock between his fingers and pulled it gently. “Boing” It sprung up, like a spring and we laughed. The girls exchanged glances with each other, then looked at us with wide eyes, then exchanged glances again. I rolled my eyes. “That was quite an entrance today, princess” he smiled.”But I hope you know, I was only being a gentleman today.Next time your riding straight into that door “Leigh, Melody, Arisa, meet Austin” I motioned to first the brown eyed doll, then the Irish one with the red hair. “My friend” I stressed, not mentioning the fact that I had a crush on him. That would only give them ammo for blackmail Arisa was my closest Minnesota friend, yet she wasn’t even Minnesotan. She was an exchange student from Japan. Austin nodded his head.”’Sup?” They all shuffled with the awkward small talk till Melody brought out some confetti poppers. It was a half school day, so we began to count down, Austin’s friends joining us. I tossed my popper in the air when we got to ten and it rolled slightly away. A kind custodian handed it back to me. She seemed familiar with her brown eyes, brown bob and dazzling white smile. As if I saw her every day. Our countdown reached one and we all pulled the strings. The confetti exploded in the air, but mine was stuck. I didn’t think till later, on the walk home to try again. This time it opened, but there was no confetti in it, only a small, folded paper slip.

Subject: Into the Gauntlet: The Ultimate Challenge
Dear Dani, aka DancingDragn49
Hello. You have been chosen among 24 others from the vast fanbase of The 39 Clues series to compete in a Challenge. The Ultimate Challenge.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Margaret Peterson Haddix. I am one of the Authors of The 39 Clues series. I know this may all be confusing, so let me break it up for you.
First off, this is personal to you from me. If you want proof, I can tell you that you're a native New Yorker with a couple Amian stories on the message board, the most successful of which is A lot has changed Amy Cahill.By the way, I enjoy it very much, so hurry up and post!
Secondly, last week on the Message Board, we sent out a poll to every user asking the 25 most popular people. You were one of the voted ones. Congratulations.
Next up, the reason you 25 have been chosen is because many people believe The 39 Clues series is real. Sadly, at the current moment, it's not. You will change that.
You and the other 24 will be taken to one of the Scholastic Headquarters to meet me and some of the other authors in person. There, you all will be given $10,000, each. You will then be sent on an all-summer Challenge to find the 39 Clues scattered all around the world.
The best part? It will all be on television.
No one will be in an alliance. It will be one-on-one. You can make alliances throughout the challenge, but ultimately, there will be one winner.
The winner will earn a nice $25,000 to keep and be mentioned in a 39 Clues book.
Please respond saying if you are able to compete. Thank you, and remember to Trust no one, not even Austin, who you suspect has been writing those notes. Remember to tell him that you have to drop out of the play.
Margaret Peterson Haddix, author of Into the Gauntlet
PS You know what I’m about to say about you know who, but just go for it.
With a stange feeling that I could not describe, I realized exactly why I recognized the new custodian. After all, she’s on the book jacket of some of my favorite novels. I had just met Margaret Peterson Haddix. And she was giving me relationship advice

Sapphire: You could be a reporter! They get to write, too! I would let you in the story, but we're already up to chapter three, plus we already said why there's only 24 (Plus, if I let you in, then everyone else will be saying 'Well why didn't you let ME in???'). But you, Monkey, Spencer, and Gabriel could get together and make some sort of really funny reporting show!

Whoa....so many POV's to catch up to :/. DAVID!!!!!!! YOU JUST MADE ME REDO MY PROGESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had this perfect thing and then I read your's...NOOO!!!!!!!!! But it's ok, I like typing :). So your lucky :P. Now, this is payback. You have to read my ultra long POV!!!! :P. I'm just so nice :).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emily's POV: Chapter 2
Ok, I had to take a plane to the Scholastic Headquarters. So what? It's not like it's my first time on a plane alone...right? I'll be alright. I have to be.
"Would you like something to eat? Perhaps something to drink?" One of the flight attendants asked me.
"No thank you," I replied. There were only like, two hours until I landed anyways. In the meantime, I thought that I could catch up on some sleep. Boy, I hate those couple of days where you visit another country and you feel like sleeping in the middle of the day but at nightime your jumping all around the walls. It's annoying, but funny when people complain and then start jumping with me :).
Nearly two hours later, I was being woken awake.
"H..hmmm?" I asked, trying to get myself to wake up.
"We landed a couple of seconds ago," the flight attendant told me. I shot right up, but was pulled down again. Oh yeah, the seatbelt. I unbuckled myself, and grabbed my bag. I wasn't the last one to leave the aeroplane, which was a surprise to me. I checked the time, 9:00am. Oh thank God, I'm not late. But I still have to get my big sutcases. I got to the security checkpoints, and they told me to take off everything metal. I took my rings, necklaces, phone, iPod, watch, sunglasses and my earrings off. Those were the only things that were metal on me. They made me take off my bag and took it for inspection. They didn't find anything interesting, of course. My wallet and some other things. I went through the airport checkpoint and it didn't beep. I placed all my jewellery on me and grabbed my iPod and phone. Cannot live without them. I walked to where I collected my suitcase and nearly didn't grab it because I was watching it go round the converter.
"You might want to get that," someone told me which made me jump. I grabbed my suitcases and turned around.
"Hello?" I asked, confused.
"Emmit, you are?"
"Emily."
"What are you doing here all alone?"
"Just getting ready to go on an adventure, you?" I said, choosing my words carefully.
"I wanna see the world."
"Good luck with that, it's a big world."
"Then why was the phrase 'it's a small world' ever invented?" Emmit asked me.
"... You know what, I have no idea Emmit. Nice meeting you," I said and walked away. What's wrong with me? Why did I just talk to a stranger? Well... he kinda started talking to me first. I just shook my head and walked to a taxi that was parked on the road.
"Where are you going today Miss?" he asked me.
"Miss, I like that," I said, smiling. "To Scholastic Headquarters please."
"Okey. Wanna get famous or something?"
"Sorta like that." I replied, lying my head against the door.
Half an hour later, I was carrying my bag into Scholastic Headquarters. The suitcase? That's a long explanation. No, I wasn't robbed :P. One of the authors thought it'll be nice if they stored my suitcase so it wouldn't disrupt me when I listen to the presentation. I gladly accepted, and now my suitcase is probably with everyone elses. I walked in and looked around. Everything was abbreviated, so I looked for ITG: TUC. I saw it a couple of seconds after I started looking and walked to where the arrow was pointing.
I walked in and saw a large table and some people talking excitedly. I didn't feel so excited. There wasn't anything....funny going on, so I thought I should make a dramatic entrence.
"THE EVIL QUEEN IS IN DA HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted.
"What the-?" everyone asked, and looked at me. Time for me to stand out from the croud. Shouldn't be too hard, it usually happens naturally.
"Mmhmm," I said, nodding and smiling.
"That's Emily, definitely," I heard some people whisper, and I kept on smiling.
"So you know me?" I asked everyone.
"Yes, my faithful leader," someone said and playfully bowed. I giggled.
"You are?" I asked, walking to the person who just bowed at me.
"Ashley, the other leader," she stuck my tounge at me. I also bowed.
"Oh your highness, I didn't know I was talking to one of the Janus Leaders," I also bowed, and we giggled like crazy. We got some weird stares, and I just laughed.
"Do you usually get these weird stares?" Ashley asked me.
"I'm used it it. Hey, watch this. This'll sure to grab everyone's attention," I said, smiling evilily. I got on the table and started singing 'Up All Night' by One Direction.
"It feels like we been living in fast-forward
Another moment passing by
The party's ending but it's now or never
Nobody's going home tonight
Katy Perry is on reply,
she's on reply
DJ got the floor to shake
The floor to shake
People going all the way
Yeah, all the way
I'm still wide awake
I wanna stay up all night
And jump around until we see the sun
I wanna stay upp all night
And find a girl and tell her she's the one
Hold on to the feeling
And don't let it go
Cause we got the floor now
Get out of control
I wanna stay up all night
And do it all with you," I sang, jumping up and down like CRAZY!!!!!!
"WEIRDO!!!!!!" people shouted, and I laughed.
"HEY!!!! OFF THE TABLE!!!!!!!!!!" Peter Lerangis shouted at me.
"Whoops," I whispered, and ran around while some of the authors were chasing me. Suddenly, I hear something I've been dying to hear since we came.
"MOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Someone shouted, and I turned around. There stood a guy. He mooed. DAVID!!!!! I jumped off the table, and mooed back. We laughed, and started whooping up a conversation. Pretty soon, one by one, people come in. I watched them, and Liz and Miks entered nearly at the same time!!!!!!!! David and I ran up to them and greeted. I, being so friendly, hugged them.
"So, I'm finally meeting the people I've been telling my life to," Liz said, and I smiled.
"Yep. Feel free to be disappointed," I said.
"Why?" David asked.
"Because I'm hideous and not smart," I replied.
"YOU ARE SO!!!!!!!!" Miks shouted, and I smiled.
"Thanks, your the best," I said, regaining my confidence a little.
"No worries. Now, let's move on to buisness. MOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Liz shouted.
"MOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" next went Miks.
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" David shouted out.
"MOOOO MOO MOO MOO MOO MOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted, and we all laughed. We laughed like crazy. We stricked up a conversation pretty quickly. We basically contined our conversation from COWS. What might've took weeks on the Message Board took minutes in real life!!!!
Lastly, came in the guy I dreaded to see, Joe. Joe walked past us and David, being... David, tripped him over. He landed face first against the cold, stone floor like a pancake. Co- I mean, Joe, got up furious!!!!! Liz Miks, David and I all ran away, laughing our heads off.
"Now this is what I call random," I say.
"So true. I've never met anyone more crazier and randomer then you are Emzz!!!" Liz said.
"Awwww, thanks!!!!" I thanked.
"And only weirdo's take that as a complement," David said.
"Why thank you," I said, smiling like a fool.
"SEE!!!!!!" David shouted. "MONSTER!!!!!! SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH HER!!!!!!!!" we all laughed like crazy. Unfortunately, we all had to get to our chairs, and so we did. I got to my bag, and looked at who I was sitting next to. Liz and David. Miks was sitting next to Liz. Hey...perfect!!!!!!!
"I'm guessing Kurt won't be joining us, so it's down to 24," someone said on stage, and my head shotted that way.
"HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!!!!!" I, and a couple of other people, shouted. We all started laughing. See, only crazy people would shout out Hunger Games.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Rick Riordan-" suddenly, the room went all suspisiously and creepily quiet "- and many of you have a;ready met Peter and Gordan." Rick waved over to two other man standing beside him, which I guessed were Peter and Gordan, who both maved.
"Welcome to The Ultimate Challange!!! This summer-long," my thought there, SUMMER LONG!?!???! HELLO, WE ONLY HAVE TWO WEEK HOLIDAYS WHERE I LIVE!!!!!!!!!! This isn't gonna end well. I might've just dropped outta school there and than, "competition will be a great and fun experiance for all of you, so be sure to havefun with it!! I see many of you are already making alliances-" Rick looked at a couple of groups, including mine, "- which is great But just like in the 39 Clues book, there can be one winner."
There were so many groans. I smiled deviously. Once I set my eye out for somthing, I intend to get it. This, I'm definitely not giving up.
"Can everyone please take a seat as we explain the rules?" he asked. I was already sitting at my seat. "Gift bags are being handed out now, including your money, your passports, and a surprise."
"SHATTERPROOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed with joy, and opened the book not even a second after I got it. I went to the end, and checked how many pages were there. Lots. SCORE!!!!!!
"We figured you guys would want some road-reading," Peter winked. This. Is. So. AWESOME!!!!!! I couldn't hold in my grin, and apparently, Peter saw it too. He tried to hold in a chuckle, but wasn't succesful.
"As you guys look at your books, we want to go over the rules. First: you were each gived only $100. You're personal 'Nellie's' have the rest." Then suddenly, a group of adults, in their young adult age, waved. I waved back, and so did everyone else. Who the heck will have to stand me for a whole summer worth? Whoever it is, good luck to them.
"Second: I cannot stress this enough; This is not the Hunger Games. There will be no killing. No harming in any serious way. You can trap, you can minor burn, scrape, bruise or slap, but if someone gets seriously hurt, then the person who hurt them is out for good. Understnad?"
Everyone nooded.
"We will have some training for you guys over the next week, but nothing will prepare you for the endurance it will take this summer." Rick said, looking serious. It creeped me out. Oh forget about that, everything they're said has creeped me out. He then smiled, which lessened the creepiness. "Go ahead and meet your Nellie's!!!!"
I smiled, and got up. I walked to the person who had my name on it, holding it like a taxt driver after you got out of the airport. A young girl, with long hair up to her waist, blondish-brownish hair like me, tanned, green eyes. She slowly walked over to me, smiling. Good, a nice person. I don't want people yelling at me all the time.
"Hey, I'm your Nellie, Zara," Zara said. Hey... I've heard that name before. Oh yeah, my mum has told me that Zadar used to be called Zara. What a coincidence!!! "I'm watching over for you, and hate being called a nanny, so just called me a friend."
"I'm glad you think that, cause I was gonna call you a good friend anyways," I said, smiling.

Back! :)
Isabel's POV
A hush fell over the room when Rick Riordan spoke those words. There was so much tension in the air, you could almost grab it in your hand. I straightened up in my seat, waiting for what he would say. "Ok everyone, listen very carefully," Rick Riordan began, "I know you're all excited and nervous. I am too. But in order for this to go by fast, we have to listen to each other. Deal?" Everyone nodded. "Good," he continued, "Because these next few rules are important. First of all, as there are 24 of us, each person will get their own 'Nellie'. Sort of like a bodyguard." Someone in the room shouted, "Hunger Games!" And that got a lot of cheers. "Hush..." Rick Riordan motioned with his hands, "This is NOT a Hunger Games, even though the idea may seem tantalizing." There were many moans and groans, but it died down. "As I said before, you each get your own guardian. They are ready and waiting for you, and we will meet them after this. NOT NOW." He said, while pointing at another Cahill. That person sat down again. "Now, second of all. This is no killing feast, not a Hunger Games. You can not kill anyone, no matter how much you despise them. But..." Rick Riordan said with a small smile, "You are obliged to have people knocked unconscious for who knows how long." When he said that, the first thing I thought of was, here we go again. Just like the 39 Clues. Rick Riordan continued. "And third, you may form alliances with whomever you want. Double crossing is allowed." There were many gasps at that, but I kept my mouth shut. That was just like the old days. "Fourth, training will begin next week. Your 'Nellies' will inform you on that. Fifth, you only have a limited amount of time and money. That will be discussed later. And finally, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me or the other helpers." At that, Peter Lerangis and Gordon Korman waved their hands. "Now, go on, and meet your Nellies." Everyone stood up at about the same time, walking to the signs where names were on. There were many doors, leading to who knows where, (unfortunately I knew where some of them went.) I came across the door with the name "Isabel, CatCommando45" and opened it. My heart was pounding. Who would my Nellie be? I couldn't bear to have a stranger taking care of me. That's just not how I roll. But when I saw the person, I knew immediately that something was odd. Because there, standing in front of me, was Aurora.

As I walked towards my chair I noticed a boy and recognition lit my face. Red!
A leader serves his people and is adored greatly. A leader is the change that people LOVE to see. Madi and I will be that leader.

Anyway this is going to suck... Gonna get homesick writing this :'(
Dani's POV.
"Kay DeDee, ya gotta be smart about this!" My best NY friends looked at me anxiously."You know your mom is going to freak if you tell her you want to see the world"
I bit my lip and disguised it as nervousness for talking to my mom.Of course they couldn t know about the Ultimate Challenge, but I couldn t stand lying to them.Of course,I would have to lie to tons of people during the Ultimate Challenge, but I wouldn t think of those girls as sisters.
Heba, the one talking, bounced on the bed thoughtfully.Her short ebony bob floated up.I loved when she called me Didi, it means sister in Urdu, her first language.
"I-I have an idea" she said hesitantly, screwing her chocolate eyes closed "But you won t like it, especially since I know lying kills you"
"Just tell me!" I ignored the Guilt gnawing at my stomach and feigned excitement
" You have to tell your mom that your visiting your dad.Your first flight is from JFK, right?" she said.
Lexie cocked her head" Your mom is never going to agree to that, she hates your dad remember when she threw that really heav-"
She cut short as Heba glared at her.
"You mean she ll protest that it isn t part of the custody plan or visitation rights, right Lex?" Heba spoke slowly and stared at Lexie.
"oops!Sorry!Yeah, um, Sure" she began to blush. "Y'know sometimes my mouth isn t really connected to the only Heba esq part of my brain..."
"or any other part", Heba muttered laying back on the bed.
"hey-" Lexie began to protest as I stifled a laugh but Heba cut her off.
"Got it" she sat up so quickly that Lexie fell off.Lexie's bed isn t exactly a king... Or queen...Or even Twin.Its a good thing she s so skinny!
Heba and Lexie were silent, as if they were able to sense whenever I drifted.
Heba continued, not missing a beat. "You can say you really miss your real home and say you wanna be with your friends for the summer, instead of Minnesota"
she wrinkled her nose at the last bit and I felt a strange urge to show some Viking Loyalty
"it's not that bad girlies" I defended. "you can come next summer and I'll show you the cool stuff, like sweet water parks and maybe the MOA"
" Can we go skiing and snowboarding and skating?" Lexie asked eagerly.
"it doesn't snow all the time here." I laughed, "but it would be fun in winter break"
"Abba(dad) will never let me go" Heba said sadly."Not unless he, my mom or Arshia (her sister) comes with me."
"Arshia's so cool!" Lexie pointed out "it would be fine with her, right Dan?"
'Totally!" I said happily.
Heba chuckled nervously.She hated being the center of attention, even on her birthday." Well now that that's sorted, back to your dilemma.You can t stay at my house, fake or not. My mom would have a fit if she heard me covering for you.If she knew I even helped in this I d be grounded forever!"
"your dilemma? As in that sonny with a chance fan fiction ?" Lexie popped in "She hasn't t posted in forever!"
"but if I stayed with a spacey artist mom and an even spaceyer friend..." I trailed off and could see the pieces fall together in Heba crazy smart brain. Lexie was still blabbing to herself about fan fiction but then snapped her head up.
"What d I miss?" she chirped obliviously
"The greatest ekat plan ever to come in existence!" Heba s closed lip smile spread across her face
"whose carrying out requires the help of a very special Janus!" I added.
Scholastic headquarters here I come.

Madellin-
As Peter Lerangis was handing out bags filled with everything we needed, he said something about having our own "Nellies". A group of poeple in their early twenties walked into the room. Some of them went toward my former virtual friends, and I didn't notice guy coming up to me. He tapped on my shoulder. I turned.
"Hey. My name's Seth. I'm gonna be your Nellie for this challenge." He had an australian accent. I grinned, and held out my hand. He shook it.
"My name's Madellin." I said. His hazel eyes seemed to smile.
"I know. We have files on all our contestants." He explained. He took out an iPod, and placed one earphone in one ear. I could hear my favorite techno song blasting in his ear.
"No way!" I exclaimed. "You like DotA, too?"
"Who doesn't? Basshunter's the best DJ I know."
My eyes widened. "You know him?"
He nodded. "Wanna listen?" he offered, holding out one earphone.
I took out my own iPod, which was coincidentally the same electric blue case as his. "No, thanks. I have my own."
"Maybe you could show me a few songs?" Seth asked. I grinned even wider than before.
"It'll be my pleasure!" I said, then added; "But I'm sure you already know most of them."
"You guys are getting along splendidly well," someone said behind me. I jumped, and Seth laughed.
"Hey, Rick." He greeted Rick Riordan. Rick R. smiled at us.
"I trust she's in good hands?" Rick asked. Seth nodded, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"She's safe with me."
I turned around, looking for someone who wasn't busy talking, or arguing, for that matter. I saw Rebekah and waved. She smiled, and waved back.

Into the Gauntlet: The Ultimate Challenge
Don't you just hate when you post something really long and then your internet goes down? Welcome to my world.
ASHLEY - Chapter 3.A
I let out a thud as I hit the ground,before pushing myself up on my elbows and glaring at David. "DUDE! We can share the Monkey bars!"
David laughed as his feet dangled just above my head. I grabbed one of his feet and jerked down, causing him to shout and collapse onto the mat next to me. He galred at me for a moment, before we both erupted into giggles.
We were in the Janus Training Center, the biggest playground I had ever seen in my life, and we were all running around having a blast. There were four other Janus here, including David, Emily, Kelly, and Liz. We had all instantly bonded, and now we were trying to kill each other in the training center.
Oh, the fun.
I grabbed the monkey bar above my head and pulled myself up slowly. I didn't have the best arm strength in the world, but it was good enough to get my legs up over the ar until I was dangling from them.
"Nice hat."
I craned my head to ee Peter Lerangis looking at me, tipping his own baseball cap. I smiled. "Ditto!" I said, pointing to his head.
He let out a chuckle. "How do you keep it on when you're upside-down?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
I pursed my lips and took a bobby-pin out of my hair. "Lots of these!" I said, handing it over to him.
He chuckled and took off his hat, rubbing his near-non-existant hair. "Don't think taht'll work for me. Oh well, I've only been upside-down thirteen times this week, anyways." he shrugged softly as I giggled.
"What time does it start?" I suddenly asked with a serious look on my face.
Peter glanced down at his watch. "In about thirty minutes. I'd suggest getting Lexi and your stuff and going down to the launching dock." he turned to the whole room. "That goes for all of you! Hurry up!"
Five Janus instantly got off of whatever they were doing and rushed out the door to collect their stuff. I already had my stuff together, so I needed to find Lexi, and fast.
I had already guessed where I'd find her, but it was nice to see her face. She was laying in the 'Nellie' lounge with one of her friends, drinking a smoothie and playing ninja with her friend
I love Lexi. She is truely convinced that she's a ninja.
"Lexi?" I asked as I walked in the room. She nodded her head without taking her eyes of of her friend. "Are you ready to go?" I asked somewhat shyly.
She squatted down as the other girl send a ninja-chop at her. "Yeah. You gots your stuffs?" she asked as she leapt in the air and chopped her friend in the arm.
I nodded softly as she walked away from her friend and followed me to the launching dock.
Within twenty minutes there were 48 of us, each paired up on a small platform with our luggage in hands. There was a stage behind us, where Rick Riordan was now reviewing the rules.
I looked over at Lexi. "Ready?"
She nodded.
"...And remember to have fun. So everyone...on your amrks...get set...and let The Challenge...BEGIN!" Rick shouted.

P.S. Your POV's should end with that line. Don't begin the competition yet! The first part will be on Sunday!

Ashley, That's why you hit preview every now and then, because then you can go back into your history and find it.
If you are the leader of any group or organization, remember this: There is always a path that benefits everyone; all you have to do is find it.

This one is really going to suck cauase i got writers block
Dani's POV-Going Home[I WISH!!!}
.
"A limo?" My mother peered at me over her newest book, The Perfect Hostess."Since when can Mary Alice afford to hire a limo? "
"Remember that gallery opening i told you about?" I lied easily, something I'd been doing a lot of "She sold some of her most expensive pieces"
"Well,"Mother pursed her lips, obviously not pleased, "Congratulate her for me"
I knew that Mother didn't like Mrs.Gray(fake last name), she though she was a hobo, but she really was just Bohemian. Her style was Boho chic, free spirtied and earthy, but Mother wished she dressed in more refined, high end clothing.I didn't care, Mrs.Gray was one of the most creative, cool, spacey people i know, and her work was amazing
I heard a small beep beep from outside and picked up my two suitcases. I paused in the doorway, waiting for mother to say something.Silence. I turned away from her, hiding her face behind her book.I didn't look back
--------
I lifted my headphones off my ears and pressed my face against the window, Ignoring the wave of nausea [Afraid of heights]. I immediately picked out the Brooklyn Bridge, with its suspension cables looking as delicate as a spider's web, though i knew they could withstand more weight than i could imagine.Gray gave way to green;Cental Park was beautiful at this time of year and i hoped i had enough time to see it before heading to the HQ. I would try to swing by home too, which was a block away from the park and of course the Rockafeller Center, filled with past christmas memories
Home. The thought filled my heart with joy.
Home!
HOME!!!
I began to almost bounce in my seat.When the flight attendant announced that we could take off out seatbelts I bolted out of the plane as soon as i brushed the handles of my carry ons, the only luggage i brought.I searched for the sign to point me towards the taxi line.
"Dani!!!" A high voice rang out and echoed within the cold airport.
I was tackeled by a small figure whose force barely made me stumble.Heba bounded up after Lexie, holding a bouquet of Lilies of the Valley, my favorite flowers.She gave me a more gentle hug, taking in my appearance.
"You're taller than me!" Lexie whined, placing her hands on her hips.
"Um, Lex, I've always been taller than you" I smiled."Since we met in First Grade"
Lexie cocked her head to one side, "Oh, yeah!" she exclaimed.
Heba rubbed her eyes and groaned, she was not a morning person.
"We know you only have 2 hours before your next flight, so lets make the sappy reunion part over quick" she said in a hoarse voice.I asked some one to hold my luggage for me in the sky lounge and i met them outside. We decided to take to subway to our fave hangouts and i swear i saw at least 7 ultimate challenge people in Central Park.
I saw a girl who looked like Ashley aka SteelBone2 muttering about Peter Larangis and having more allies,Emily, i think, but she was heading in the opposite direction, David, and i heard moos, so I'm guessing some more COWS.
I wondered how many people were sightseeing.Tourists, even Cahill Tourists, can never really know New York.
-------------------------
We were running a little late so we crossed meeting my dad off the list, but i feverently prayed that the Ultimate Challenge wouldn't start without me. I almost swore when we passed the stop close to the HQ, but even my girls couldn't know what was going on.
After a tearful goodbye i grabbed my luggage and threw myselft into the nearest taxi.
"I need to go to th-" I began to say, patting my back pocked to make sure my wallet was still there
The driver turned around "To the Scholastic Headquarters" he finished smoothly. I caught his eye in the mirror and realized who he was.
"You-Your Rick Riordan!" I sputtered, not believing my eyes.
He laughed "I'll be sure to come to you if i ever lose my memory"
"Like Percy had to" i muttered, "Just when Percabeth was getting good ,too!"
He raised his hands in mock surrender, "Never mess with Percabeth.Learned that the hard way!" He showed my a couple scrapes and scars on his hands.
"Fangirls?" I guessed.
Rick nodded, "And this one's from Aphrodite" I examined a bruise forming on his forearm and smirked.
"Thats what you get!" i replied cheekily.I examined the clock on the dashboard."what are we waiting for?"
"We have to wait for someone"He stuck his head out the open window
"But we'll be late!" I protested, checking my watch again.
He shook his head "Both your ivitations had an hour earlier on it, stupid typo." He muttered "We thought if we just got you 2 together it would save time, and gas. The girl we're waiting for is huge with the enviroment"
"Really?" i leaned forward, suddenly interested.She sounded like me, so maybe we would become friends off the MB"Who is she?After all, since we're supposed to be the most well known people on the message board, I'll probably know her"
Rick smiled at me "Maybe, but she's a little new so i doubt it. She only has a couple Rps and Stories and stuff, but she's running for Ekat council.Ultimate Challenge might be the biggest thing she's done, but she's a good writer"
"Just tell me the name Rick!" I begged. I wanted to know my competition for the ultimate challenge and for the council.
"Daniella" He said simply."You might know her as DancingDragon49, Dracia. Our records show that she's always late so i guess the one hour earlier thing is good." He chucked
I looked at him for a moment, then thwacked him upside the head.
"Ow!" He cried out. "What was that for?"
Just then Dracia stuck her head through the window."Hey Rick, sorry I'm late."
Rick glared at me."Its alright Daniella, i bet your less moody then the resident V over here."
He put on his seat belt (safety first ;)!) and began to pull out.
"Your a Vesper too?" Dracia asked excitedly. "I'm Dracia, Vesper 1"
"Dracia...then...Daniella was.." I heard Rick put the pieces together."OH!" He exclaimed.
"Really Rick?!?" I wagged a finger at him "Did you even read our files?"
Dracia cocked her head for a moment as i rolled my eyes. "He thought i was you" i whispered. We exchanged smiles and then both thwacked him.
"Seriously dude, " she tutted " How does long straight black hair translate into Barbie over here?"
I shot her a look and she shrugged. "Tan and blonde and are girly. You look like Barbie."
Rick agreed and i glared at him.
I considered thwacking him again when he leaned forward suddenly.
"I'm driving here!" he yelled.
We both cracked up and Rick looked at us in his rearview mirror.
"Yup, they're the ones" He muttered, going on to the highway. We decided not to bother him anymore though, since, in his words, he's driving so we started to talk.
"Your Dani?" She paused for a moment "You wrote that proposal for the councils and cahill right?" (link to that proposal:http://www.the39clues.com/messageboard/show/22969)
"It wasn't just for the Cahill, Vespers are welcome to join in" i assured her. She seemed pretty nice, i decided, though i made a mental note to forget that when the challenge started.
We chatted easily, as if i had known her for a long time and not just 10 minutes. When we arrived she shot me a smile,"Nice meeting you for real Dani"she said. Then she bounded up the steps, eager to see how everyone really looked.
i took a deep breath and followed.

*after presentation*
A girl with jet black hair and pale white skin came up to me.
"Are you Daniella?"she squinted at the card she held in her right hand.
"Yeah, and I guess your my Nellie" I smiled at her and noticed her dark purple make up. She wore a lot of black and had a bleached white streak in her hair.
I noticed her examine me too and we both realized how different we were.
(I'll list them for the heck of it)
Pink-Black
Pale-Tan
Muddy Water Eyes-Purple
Girly-Goth
Blonde-Black
Princess Curls-Stick Straight Hair
Fun Sized-Scary Tall!
Past chin length bob-(Christina Grimmie Hair) Razor choppy mid back length
Well this is going to be interesting.
"Name's Lola" She smiled, which made her look really pretty
Dani's POV-Going Home[I WISH!!!}
.
"A limo?" My mother peered at me over her newest book, The Perfect Hostess."Since when can Mary Alice afford to hire a limo? "
"Remember that gallery opening i told you about?" I lied easily, something I'd been doing a lot of "She sold some of her most expensive pieces"
"Well,"Mother pursed her lips, obviously not pleased, "Congratulate her for me"
I knew that Mother didn't like Mrs.Gray(fake last name), she though she was a hobo, but she really was just Bohemian. Her style was Boho chic, free spirtied and earthy, but Mother wished she dressed in more refined, high end clothing.I didn't care, Mrs.Gray was one of the most creative, cool, spacey people i know, and her work was amazing
I heard a small beep beep from outside and picked up my two suitcases. I paused in the doorway, waiting for mother to say something.Silence. I turned away from her, hiding her face behind her book.I didn't look back
--------
I lifted my headphones off my ears and pressed my face against the window, Ignoring the wave of nausea [Afraid of heights]. I immediately picked out the Brooklyn Bridge, with its suspension cables looking as delicate as a spider's web, though i knew they could withstand more weight than i could imagine.Gray gave way to green;Cental Park was beautiful at this time of year and i hoped i had enough time to see it before heading to the HQ. I would try to swing by home too, which was a block away from the park and of course the Rockafeller Center, filled with past christmas memories
Home. The thought filled my heart with joy.
Home!
HOME!!!
I began to almost bounce in my seat.When the flight attendant announced that we could take off out seatbelts I bolted out of the plane as soon as i brushed the handles of my carry ons, the only luggage i brought.I searched for the sign to point me towards the taxi line.
"Dani!!!" A high voice rang out and echoed within the cold airport.
I was tackeled by a small figure whose force barely made me stumble.Heba bounded up after Lexie, holding a bouquet of Lilies of the Valley, my favorite flowers.She gave me a more gentle hug, taking in my appearance.
"You're taller than me!" Lexie whined, placing her hands on her hips.
"Um, Lex, I've always been taller than you" I smiled."Since we met in First Grade"
Lexie cocked her head to one side, "Oh, yeah!" she exclaimed.
Heba rubbed her eyes and groaned, she was not a morning person.
"We know you only have 2 hours before your next flight, so lets make the sappy reunion part over quick" she said in a hoarse voice.I asked some one to hold my luggage for me in the sky lounge and i met them outside. We decided to take to subway to our fave hangouts and i swear i saw at least 7 ultimate challenge people in Central Park.
I saw a girl who looked like Ashley aka SteelBone2 muttering about Peter Larangis and having more allies,Emily, i think, but she was heading in the opposite direction, David, and i heard moos, so I'm guessing some more COWS.
I wondered how many people were sightseeing.Tourists, even Cahill Tourists, can never really know New York.
-------------------------
We were running a little late so we crossed meeting my dad off the list, but i feverently prayed that the Ultimate Challenge wouldn't start without me. I almost swore when we passed the stop close to the HQ, but even my girls couldn't know what was going on.
After a tearful goodbye i grabbed my luggage and threw myselft into the nearest taxi.
"I need to go to th-" I began to say, patting my back pocked to make sure my wallet was still there
The driver turned around "To the Scholastic Headquarters" he finished smoothly. I caught his eye in the mirror and realized who he was.
"You-Your Rick Riordan!" I sputtered, not believing my eyes.
He laughed "I'll be sure to come to you if i ever lose my memory"
"Like Percy had to" i muttered, "Just when Percabeth was getting good ,too!"
He raised his hands in mock surrender, "Never mess with Percabeth.Learned that the hard way!" He showed my a couple scrapes and scars on his hands.
"Fangirls?" I guessed.
Rick nodded, "And this one's from Aphrodite" I examined a bruise forming on his forearm and smirked.
"Thats what you get!" i replied cheekily.I examined the clock on the dashboard."what are we waiting for?"
"We have to wait for someone"He stuck his head out the open window
"But we'll be late!" I protested, checking my watch again.
He shook his head "Both your ivitations had an hour earlier on it, stupid typo." He muttered "We thought if we just got you 2 together it would save time, and gas. The girl we're waiting for is huge with the enviroment"
"Really?" i leaned forward, suddenly interested.She sounded like me, so maybe we would become friends off the MB"Who is she?After all, since we're supposed to be the most well known people on the message board, I'll probably know her"
Rick smiled at me "Maybe, but she's a little new so i doubt it. She only has a couple Rps and Stories and stuff, but she's running for Ekat council.Ultimate Challenge might be the biggest thing she's done, but she's a good writer"
"Just tell me the name Rick!" I begged. I wanted to know my competition for the ultimate challenge and for the council.
"Daniella" He said simply."You might know her as DancingDragon49, Dracia. Our records show that she's always late so i guess the one hour earlier thing is good." He chucked
I looked at him for a moment, then thwacked him upside the head.
"Ow!" He cried out. "What was that for?"
Just then Dracia stuck her head through the window."Hey Rick, sorry I'm late."
Rick glared at me."Its alright Daniella, i bet your less moody then the resident V over here."
He put on his seat belt (safety first ;)!) and began to pull out.
"Your a Vesper too?" Dracia asked excitedly. "I'm Dracia, Vesper 1"
"Dracia...then...Daniella was.." I heard Rick put the pieces together."OH!" He exclaimed.
"Really Rick?!?" I wagged a finger at him "Did you even read our files?"
Dracia cocked her head for a moment as i rolled my eyes. "He thought i was you" i whispered. We exchanged smiles and then both thwacked him.
"Seriously dude, " she tutted " How does long straight black hair translate into Barbie over here?"
I shot her a look and she shrugged. "Tan and blonde and are girly. You look like Barbie."
Rick agreed and i glared at him.
I considered thwacking him again when he leaned forward suddenly.
"I'm driving here!" he yelled.
We both cracked up and Rick looked at us in his rearview mirror.
"Yup, they're the ones" He muttered, going on to the highway. We decided not to bother him anymore though, since, in his words, he's driving so we started to talk.

Ashley, I have a question that I posted on the sponsor page, but since you did not reply, I will post it here. What happens if a person sponsors you but they havn't posted in a while or rarely posts?

If your sposnor hasn't posted in a week *On anything, not just sponsor stuffs* You can get a new one. However to keep things fair, if your old sponsor had posted three 'Like to help's!' your new sponsor can only post two, for a total of five, since sponsors are limited to five, anyways. Make sense?

Hey, could I be Vice to Gabriel? Since he hasnt been on this post at all yet. Would that make me or monkey in charge? Anyway, here are my reporter skills!
"Hi! My name is Spencer, with Monkey and Gabriel! So let's talk! Who do you think will win?"
Gabriel gets in shape and says, "What happened to, 'don't judge a book by its cover'?
"Well yeah, so since Gabe here is occupied at the moment, we are moving on to Monkey!"
"Thank you for that introduction, Spencer."
"You are welcome!"
"Well, I think maybe Ashley, or Jason, or Red, or Dracia, or Grace, or-"
"Thank you monkey! It is possible for Jason or Ashley to win, they already have sponsers! Who would have known?"
"I would..." said Gabriel ever so slightly. I rolled my eyes. "Thank you Gabriel! We will be right back! We are getting our special guest stars right now!"

I met my allies for the first time in real life. The alliance was forged on the 39 clues site. Viper, isabel and katherine all met each other and i got to meet each of them. The hunt would interfere with my 17th birthday. Imagine how that made me feel. They all seemed nice enough. i had even met firedragon in real life. He didn't seem too bad. Other than the whole "Kill Cobra" part. We all had shirts with our 39 clues aliases on them. I was elected team leader by unanimous vote. After all, I was Lucian, i would appoint my ranks as we went. I wouldn't be abusing the power they intrusted me with. I would use it wisely.

We stood listening to the instructions Rick, Peter, and the other writers had for us. We all were provided with an Au Pair(babysitter, how annoying) and Rick sent us off. "Now Remeber to have fun. And viper don't kill anyone..." She giggled next to me. "On your marks get set Go......"
PS. What is the first clue that everyone gets.
