Anyway I just want to thank all of you guys for reviewing and leaving me a bunch of comments on how you like the first story, Top of the World. I hope you enjoy this one as well and again thank you guys very very much for everything!
"Taylor where are you?" came a voice from the hallway. I looked up from the Great Book and walked towards the doorway. When I reached it, I poked my head out just in time to see Brady come into view. "There you are." Brady said as he walked towards me.
"Here I am," I stated with a smile, "what's up?"
"Well...there is something I need to give you," he said while looking down at the ground and putting his hand behind his head, like he always does when he get's nervous. I laughed a little to myself and at his kid like reflect. Brady then reached into his pocket, but before he could give me whatever he wanted there was a knock on the outside wall. We both looked up to see Mason standing in the doorway.
"My king," he said, "it's dinner time and we would like for you to join your brothers downstairs."
"Okay I'll be down in just one minute," Brady said.
"I'm sorry but I need you to come down now," Mason said, "we can't start without you both there, and I'm afraid Boomer and Boz will eat their napkins soon if you don't hurry down." Brady sighed and mumbled something to himself, but gave into Masons demands. He took my hand and lead me pass Mason, all the way to the dining room. When we got there we sat down next to Boomer and Boz, who were in fact real close to eating their napkins, and a empty chair. It was clear that someone would not be joining us for dinner or any other meals for today, which made me kind of sad for some reason, but I brushed it off.
"What took you guys so long!" Boz shouted as he stabbed the corn next to him and shoved it in his mouth. Now satisfied that he could eat some real food
"Yeah!" Boomer said with a mouth full of steak and sauce, "we have been waiting for like ever! Mason wouldn't let us touch our food until you got here, but I told him don't bother cause they'll be too busy being all in love and getting it on." At that comment Brady spat out his water and I almost choked on a piece of corn that I was eating.
"Ex...excuse me?" I managed to say after giving myself the heimlich.
"You heard me," Boomer said with a wave of his fork, "first comes love, then comes mawwiage, then comes little Boomer jr. in a baby carriage."
"Boomer Jr.?" I asked.
"Clearly it's going to be named Boz J," Boz said, "it's just an awesome name."
"Mawwiage?" Brady questioned, whether is was the pronunciation or the word that confused him I will never know.
"Yeah be a man Brady and put a ring on it!" Boz shouted with a wink and a knowing smile.
"My kings don't you think you torchered your brother enough?" Mason asked.
"Naw," Broomer and Boz replied. Finally with that conversation out of the way, the rest of the dinner was filled with food eating and the topic of Boomer opening a llama petting zoo.
"Well that was a fun dinner," I said on the way back to our room.
"I don't think I can ever live that down," Brady said, "like ever." I laughed at his comment and poked fun at how red he was getting. When we entered the room, Brady went to go brush his teeth and I walked over to the bed and pulled out the Great Book so I could finish reading the chapter on Tralanchela people. I was almost done the same time that Brady was finished with brushing his teeth.
"What you got here?" he asked as he walked over and sat down next to me on the bed. He got a closer look at the page then reached over and moved the cover so he could see it better. "This isn't the Great Book is it?" I nodded my head as a reply and kept reading. "Where did you get it?" Brady asked while taking it from my hand and moving it into his lap.
"Hey!" I shouted, "I was almost done! Give it back." Brady just laughed and shook his head.
"Not till you tell me where you got it from ya nerd," he replied.
"Mason let me look at it," I said.
"So Mason let you take it out of the secret vault and bring it upstairs to our room, unguarded, so you could look at it?"
"Okay so maybe I wasn't suppose to take it with me, but I was almost done with a page. Plus I found a chapter on shells in there and I saw the one from my dream." I moved over, took the book from him, and sat on his lap before I flipped to the chapter about shells. "See!" I said while pointing to the shell that I saw in my dreams.
"The Looking Glass Shell?" Brady read, "this shell allows the user to look into a different part of the world or time, past and future. What is shown is what will, has, or is happening at that point in time and or place."
"This shell is exactly, well almost exactly, what I saw in my dream on the island," I said.
"So if it's real then…" Brady began to say.
"Then we should go get it!" I finished for him.
"But that's all the way on the island of Hinowan," Brady whined, "and it's where that guy is."
"Gino?" I asked, "of course he is there silly, he lives there."
"Well I still don't want to go," Brady pouted.
"Okay now you're just being a baby," I said with a smile.
"Me? Well if I'm such a baby I guess I don't have to give you my present then."
"Wait that's not fair I still want to know what it is!" I yelled crawling off of him and turning to face his mischievous smile.
"Look who's the baby now!" Brady teased and I recoiled with a light shove to his shoulder. He then grabbed my hand and held it up to his face. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a shiny object with he placed on my ring finger. I pulled my hand back to me to take a closer look.
"Oh my god…" I said looking at the ring.
"I know it's not perfect or one of a kind, cause my brother has the other one, but I hope it will do for now," he said. I looked at the ring then back at Brady and gave him a huge smile.
"It's perfect," I said thinking nothing can ruin this moment
"And I have great news," Brady said, "according to Boz you can never lose that ring because it will now be permanently stuck to you!" My smile dropped from my face
Considered this moment ruined.
