A.N. :Hello! Thank you all for the ideas you guys throwed at me, but there are way too many, so I decided to combine them, sorry about it!

Amy was just glad to be home, so she decided to explore the house, she tried to tug Dan to explore with her, but him eyes were glued to the TV screen and he had earphones on so he couldn't hear her. I guess I'll have to go by myself, she thought.

She opened every door she can find, or at least try to, dozens were locked, and some were just huge walk-in closets, but then she came across something that made her gasp, right there, on the last door on the left side of the hall, in bold golden letters, were the name, Ian.

Amy turned the door knob without thinking, to her surprise, it was unlocked, so she went in.

Ian's room looked like he never left, his laptop was still on, with a glass of cherry coke next to it, the floor of his room were sparkly clean, with not a speck of dust on it, while his desk was a mess, with papers and comics lying all over, Amy took a look at the title, Calvin and Hobbs, one of her favorites, even without Ian, the room had a nice, warm, comfortable, inviting feeling to Amy, not like the rest of the house, even her room, it makes her want to smile and cry at the same time.

Amy sat on his chair, now any signs of wanting to cry had left her, and just when she is enjoying life for the first time since Ian died, a black sharpie marker flew from the desk, pop its cap, and began writing on the wall.

After the marker was done writing, Amy looked at the message, it says:

Amy, at least knock the next time you come into my room.

Amy blinked, am I out of my mind? She thought. Amy went over to the wall and rubbed her finger on the tip of the 'A', there was ink on her finger, the message is real.

Part of her want to run, another part of her wan't to try to communicate, if it really is Ian.

But Amy didn't have time to react when the marker starts writing again, this time, it reads:

Sorry Amy, as much as I love to chat, I can't, I don't have much time.

And with that, the marker fell lifelessly on the floor.

Amy nodded on instinct, and left the room, she knows where to spend her boring summer.

Dan's POV

I was still watching TV when my door creaked open, I just ignored it, the rope will do the work, and sure enough, there was a thud, I turned around, and found my sister on the ground.

''Don't you ever knock?'' I asked.

''Like you can hear, any way, don't start, I already have someone complained to me about that.'' Amy said.

''Who, Nellie?''

Amy seems to hesitate. ''Like you care.''

I shrugged, and went back to watching TV.

''I'm going to go exploring again.''

I pretended not to hear, sometimes, it's better not to drag yourself into stuff.

As Amy left, I heard another thud and a ''Uugghh!''

I smiled, lots of things are useful without you realizing it.

Amy went back to Ian's room, this time she knows what to do.

She knocked, and the door swung open, Amy went in.

The room was still the same, except the full glass of cherry coke was empty.

''Ian?" I must be out of my mind, Amy thought.

The marker start writing.

Yes?

"Is it you thats trashing the house?"

No.

"Who is it then?"

Natalie.

"Tell her to stop."

Sure.

Amy turned and walked out of the room.

"Bye." She called over her shoulder.

Natalie is so in trouble.

Dan was so tired of watching TV, maybe he should think of setting another trap outside the door, because Amy already knew about his old one.

He began to draw on the paper on how to make a pillow hit the visitor's face when they open the door and make a balloon pop at the same time.

Half a hour latter...

Dan stoped to look at his work, there is a string attached to the top of the door, the string goes all the way to the middle of the left wall, where it is stuck to the wall by loose tape, and the other end of the string goes all the way to the middle of the back wall where it fasten the pillow from swinging across the room. A small water balloon is place in front of the door, it will be hard to see unless you try to look for it. Plus, he put something extra, so he know who came.

"Victor!" Dan called, he will need someone to test out his new trap.

Dan's trap worked. As soon as the servant opens the door all the tape came loose, and the pillow hits him square in the face, Victor steps back, and the balloon pops, causing him to lose his balance, fall back, and trip over the the rope he placed.

Dan smirked, "You are excused, I just need someone to test my trap."

The servant looks angry, but left the room without a word.

Dan couldn't wait to see Amy's expresion when she falls in the trap
