Chapter 1 – Big Time Past
"Ok so we've been here for two weeks now and we've transformed are crib, went to The School of Rocque and got enrolled in the Palmwoods School. Oh nearly forgot, and got in a shit load of trouble!" Brona said recapping the week. She was in the week old kitchen making pancakes for breakfast as they let Mama Knight rest.
"Yes how could you nearly forget the shit load trouble?" James said sitting at the table with Kendall, Katie and Logan.
"Ok, Carlos you can crack the egg now." Brona said looking at the table seeing an empty seat. She looked over at the couch to see Carlos playing video games with the volume up to high.
"Carlos. Carlos. CARLOS GARCIA!" Brona yelled but still no response. She went over and grabbed the controller. Carlos looked at her and turned the TV down.
"I'm not a kid. You don't have to come over and take the controller off me; you can just talk to me." Carlos said.
"Sorry Carlos. Well do you still want to crack the egg?" Brona asked.
"Oh yes please." Carlos said childishly and did a little hop. Brona rolled her eyes and went over and supervised him.
"Can you believe Gustavo gave us the day off?" Kendall asked.
"No, is he being nice?" Katie asked.
"I wish. His sister is visiting." Logan told her.
"Kelly says she's even more imitating then Gustavo." James mentioned.
"Carlos, ok, sit." Brona said aggravated.
"Pancake on the roof?" Kendall asked.
"Yup. One out of thirty." Brona said. She went over to the table and gave them out and put syrups, cream, sugar, butter and chocolate chips in the middle. She then sat down beside Kendall.
"So want to go out night?" Kendall asked.
"Sure. We discuss details later?"
"Ok."
There was a knock on the door and a letter slid through.
"That's weird we usually get our mail from down in the lobby." Brona remarked. She stood up and got it being closer to the door.
"Who's it for?" Katie asked.
"Me and Logan."
Logan's eyes widened. "Must be for that game show we put our names down for a laugh." He said not knowing what it really was.
"We'll open it later."
"So what's everyone doing today?" Katie asked.
"Kendall and I are going to hang out at the park." James said.
"Get all handsomed up and make the Jennifers fall in love with me." Carlos said.
"Talk to my friends back in Ireland. Sinèad's heart is broken." Brona lied.
"My computer has a virus so I have to sort that out." Logan also lied.
After Breakfast. Down In the Lobby
"You open it I can't. I really don't want to know what's in it." Brona said and gave the letter to Logan. They were sitting at a table in the lobby.
"Ok." Logan braced himself and took the letter out of the envelope and placed it on the table.
"I know what you did. It makes me sick. I'm telling." Logan read out.
"Wait it can't say that." Brona said and looked at the letter. "Ok, so it those say that."
"Wait look." Brona said and pointed to the arrow on the page. "Turn the letter over."
Logan turned the page over. "Meet me at the pool at four o'clock, and we'll discuss this more in what I'm going to tell and what will keep me quiet."
"Oh, that's better. Well, whoever it is they're a Desperate Housewives fan." Brona laughed.
"You don't think it could be what we did after Chip broke your heart."
"Oh Logie that's in the past. And no one saw us and we told no one."
"You're probably right." He agreed. "So what do you want to do between now and four?"
At The Park
"So where you taking her?" James asked Kendall. They were sitting at a table drinking pink smoothies.
"To the movies. Probably."
"So you can yawn and plant one on her?"
"How did you know this is the night I'm planning to kiss her?"
"I didn't. I just know you have terrible moves."
Kendall looked at him and raised his eyebrows.
"All right I'll help you. What you need to do is charm her. I suggest taking her too th-"
"Kendall." A girl with black hair who was far running towards them shouted.
"Who's that?" Kendall asked.
"She looks familiar."
"Ivy." They both gasped.
"Kendall, Kendall." Ivy ran over and stopped at him.
"Hey babes." She said then looked at James. "James."
"Nice to see you too." James remarked.
"Ivy what are you doing here?" Kendall asked.
"I come to visit my boyfriend." She replied
"Oh that's nice. Who is he?" Kendall asked and sipped a bit more of his smoothie.
"You, silly." She said. Kendall spit out the smoothie and looked at her.
"Bad smoothie babe? Here I'll get you a new one." She said and went over to the stand.
"I thought you and Ivy broke up." James muttered.
"We did. After three weeks of dating she dumped me for Steve Jones." Kendall explained.
"She must be a gold digger." James told him.
"No, her father is filthy rich."
"Then she's a fame digger."
"Quick she's coming what do I do?"
"You accept the smoothie and break it to her gently. Gently enough so that it's clear bot soft so her father's body guards won't beat you up."
"Hey miss me?" She flirted.
"Thanks." Kendall took the smoothie and sipped it.
"So we should go somewhere tonight and make out." She said.
Kendall spit his smoothie out again.
"I'm not getting you another smoothie." She said and sat down.
"No the smoothie is fine. Em, I thought we broke up. Or you broke up with me."
"No were on a break."
"Oh, this is awkward." James said.
BEEP
Ivy looked at her phone "I have to go my dad wants me. Let's meet here say five. To discuss are date plans." She gave Kendall a kiss on the cheek and walked off.
"Dude why can't you just kiss Brona on the cheek like she kissed you there?" James asked.
Kendall gave him a look.
"Oh Brona?" James said. "Yeah, she's going to kill you."
The Lobby
Katie looked around the lobby for Brona.
She went over to Bitters and rang the bell more than once.
"Yes" He said grumpily.
"Have you seen Brona?"
"She was her left an hour ago."
"Did you see where she went?"
"No." He said and stuck out his hand.
"Uh, fine." Katie said. And took out a five dollar bill from her pocket.
"She went back to the apartment."
"I already checked there, like thirty minutes ago."
"Yeah well she really left fifteen minutes ago."
Katie rushed off to the apartment.
"Have a Palmwoods day."
2J
Brona was in her room putting on earrings looking in the mirror.
"Cause when I look in a mirror. I don't even recognise myself. I've got a heart of a winner, but looking back I'm someone else. No regrets, no regrets. No point in crying over yesterday." Brona sang.
"Seriously that's the song you decided to sing just now." Logan said lingering at the door.
"Logan stop lingering and just sit on my bed."
Logan walked in he was amazed in what he saw. "I like what you've done with the place."
"Thanks, it's not finished yet."
"Don't you think that top is a little too revealing?" Logan asked looking at the top.
"Yeah, I figured if the person is a dude all I have to do is take my hoodie off and flirt."
"And if the person is a girl?"
"Logan I'm up here. I spill something on your top and you take your shirt off. Even though you don't have much to show."
"Really, I've a lot to show. Here feel." Logan said and lifted up his shirt. Brona touched his chest.
"I've felt better." Brona admitted.
"I'm insulted."
"I've dated jocks, football players; I punched a few boys that beat you up, and randomers at Banada."
"Banada?"
"I'll explain later." Brona said and looked in the mirror.
Katie walked into the room and Brona zipped up her hoodie.
"Brona our curtains are in today and everything is in tomorrow except for the bathroom stuff which comes in next week. But they can't get the pre-made shelves we want so there giving us the DIY ones. And they said that they need us to pick them up at four. So let's go."
"Where did you get the money for all that?" Logan asked.
"Katie's V.I.P room and selling my Cranberry secret drink. Really four?"
"They said they needed to clear space that's its very busy."
"I can't go. You go and I'll get Camille to bring you." Brona suggested and went over to a big picture of her, Katie, Logan, Kendall, James and Carlos all dressed up and sitting on Kendall's stairs, taking by a photographer and took it of the wall. Which covered a safe. Brona keyed in the password and took out the money.
"Ok here's the money and here are the pickup receipts." Brona said and handed it to Katie.
BEEP
Logan looked his phone "Yeah Camille said she's able to take you Katie, I walk you to her apartment."
"Meet you down there." Brona whispered.
The Park
"Kendall that's like your tenth smoothie calm down." James said.
"I'm freaking out! What do we do?"
"What do you mean we?"
Kendall gave him a look.
"Alright. Ok she's coming back at five right. So schedule your planning date thing with Brona at five thirty. Let Ivy down easy and it's so simple too."
"Yeah, it's just Brona is one of a kind. And I don't want to mess this up. And Ivy is the past."
"I feel ya. Anyone would be stupid to let her go."
"Let's go play touch football" Kendall suggested and they went off.
At The Pool
"Ya, it's just Kendall is one in a million, and I don't want to mess this up." Brona said to Logan.
"I can't reply to that I'm a dude." Logan said. They were sitting at a table at the left of the pool close to the back and shaded. "When's the person coming?"
Brona sipped her lemonade "I'm guessing now." She said saying a figure in black hoodie walking towards them. Its hood was over he's head so you couldn't see your face. It sat down.
"It's a guy look at his hands." Brona whispered and Logan nodded in agreement and Brona zipped down her hoodie.
"Hello." Logan said.
"Call me Mr Y." He said with a disguised voice.
"Ok Mr Y. I'm guessing you're a fan of desperate housewives." Brona said.
"Yes I do like to watch it now and again."
"Well could you please tell you what we did that makes you sick and wanting to tell." Logan said.
"Oh yeah sure. You made out with each behind Mr Knight's back."
Logan was afraid of this.
"So it wasn't wrong if you heard our side of the story." Brona complained.
"Well I don't have time for stories Miss Cox."
"Wait how do you know my last name is Cox? Only twelve people know and one of them is dead." Brona said.
"I'm willing to keep my mouth shut for a fee."
"What's your fee?" Logan asked and put his hand on top of Brona's hand to comfort her.
"Well it depends. Whose relationship would it hurt more with Kendall?"
"Mine." Logan admitted.
"He'd probably be mad at me."
"Then Mr Mitchel you have to do my homework for me until the school year is out."
Brona looked at Logan she saw the years of bullying pass through his eyes.
"I'm sorry he can't do that." Brona said.
"Brona-" Brona shushed him.
"Then I'm just going to tell Kendall now."
Brona looked back at Logan as Mr Y began to leave. She saw fear in he's eyes.
"Oh no you don't." She muttered. The figure was half way to the lobby and Brona ran. As she was just a bit behind him she tackled him.
"Time to see who you are." Brona said and un-zipped the hood. She was shocked.
"Mr Garcia?"
At The Park
"Ok, I'll be over there if you need me." James said to the blond and sat on the bench. He held up a newspaper that had holes for his eyes.
Someone put their hands around Kendall's eyes "Guess who?"
"Ivy?"
"You're really good at this game." She took a seat beside him. "So I was thinking we could go to the best restaurant in LA tonight."
"Well, see when you broke up with me my heart was broken so badly, so I -" Kendall was cut short.
"So what you're saying is that, I'm your missing person piece to your heart."
Before Kendall could answer
"Aww you're so sweet. We'll meet here at seven. Ok." Ivy said and skipped off.
James ran over to Kendall who looked confused.
"Why those she look so happy?" James asked.
"She thinks she's my missing person piece."
"Why those she think that?"
"She twisted what I was saying. I started off with; When you broke up with me my heart was broken so badly so I. Then she cut me off. And she wants to go on a date tonight at seven."
"Great I think I have a plan but tell Brona you thought you said tomorrow night for your date and her she comes. I'll be over there getting that girl's number."
Brona walked over to the table Kendall was sitting at and sat down.
"Hey." She smiled.
"Hey babe."
"You only call me babe when something up."
"I was only trying it out."
"Ok, then I think it's sweet."
"How is Sinèad?"
"She's holding up. Even though she broke up with him, she's kinda shook up over it."
"Why did she break up with him?"
"He was a jerk to her. Going around kissing other girls, going on dates with girls behind her back. We didn't want to tell her we more or less showed it to her." Brona telling him what happened three weeks ago.
"So did I see we go out today or tomorrow?" Kendall asked.
Brona saw her chance "I think it was tomorrow. I could be wrong though."
"So tomorrow it is. I'm going to take you to the best restaurant in LA."
"Kendall you don't have too."
Kendall put his hand on top of her hand. "You deserve the best."
Brona blushed a little.
"And you don't bring any money."
"But you'd faint when you see the price. How about we half the price?"
"Ok. So did you and Logan get accepted into that game show?"
"No, but I'm kinda glad. Logan would die with all the pressure."
"Yeah he would."
There was a moment of silence.
"So we'll go there at eight or seven." Brona said.
"How about seven?"
"Ok pick me up at Camille's?"
"Why Camille's?"
"Because if we were back in Minnesota you'd have to collect me at my house and seeing that we live together… please tell me you see where I'm going with this."
"Yes I do." Kendall said. "Have you seen Carlos?"
"No actually I haven't." Brona lied. "Oh my God, I thought I saw Ivy early on."
"What … no way … why would she be here?"
"I don't know maybe to get you back, I wouldn't blame her. But it was probably just a girl who looked like her."
Kendall looked into her blue eyes. Her brown hair was straight but turned wavy near the bottom. Her side fringe being grown out. Her skin was flawless. She knocked all guys dead. She was going to be on the cover of a lot of magazines if they became famous.
BEEP
They both looked down at their phones.
"Looks like dinners ready." Brona said.
"Let's go." Kendall suggested and put out his hand. Brona grabbed it and he put his arm around her.
2J
When everyone was at the apartment Kendall went over to Mama Knight who was serving dinner.
"Mom, remember when I saved you from choking. That was a clo-"
"What do you want?"
"Well Ivy is here and every time I try telling her I don't want her back gently it gets all twisted and now I have a date with her in an hour."
Mama Knight looked at Brona sitting at the table. "Does Brona know?"
"No and I'd like to keep it that way."
"Just be honest with Ivy."
"I know mom. So can you see I have to go somewhere or something?"
"Ok, just sit down at the table." She said and Kendall did as he was told.
"Oh Kendall can your Godmother is in town and she wants to meet with you at this restaurant so go put on something nice and a cab will pick you up." Mama Knight said.
"Good thing our date wasn't on tonight." Brona said.
23:00
Brona's and Katie's Room.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Katie screamed waking up from a bad dream.
Brona turned on the light. "Katie are you ok?" She asked, concern was written all over her face.
"Sorry Brona bad dream."
"No need to be sorry. Can you get back to sleep?"
"I don't think so."
"I don't think your brother is back yet." Brona said and walked over to Katie. "He usually sings to you right?"
Katie nodded.
"What does he sing?"
"We have our own special song."
"How about me and you have a special song?"
"Ok and he sings another song after that just to make sure I'm asleep."
"Yeah I have my own song to help me through life."
"What is it?" Katie asked.
"I have a dream. Ok Katie close your eyes." Brona said thinking what song to sing that would be their special song.
"Today's all burnt toast running late dad jokes has anybody seen my left shoe. Close my eyes take a bite grab a ride laugh out loud; there it is up on the roof. I've been there I survived, so just take my advice. Hang In There Katie, Things Are Crazy But I Know Your Futures Bright Hang In There Katie There's No Maybe Everything Turns Out Alright Sure Life Is Up And Down But Trust Me It Comes Back Around Your Gonna Love Who You Turn Out To Be. Hang in there Katie." Brona sang.
"I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream." Brona sang.
Katie was sound asleep, Brona turned to go back to her bed but she saw a figure lingering in the door way.
"Did Katie have a bad dream?"
"Yes Mama Knight but don't worry she's asleep. How did you know?" Brona asked.
"I heard the scream."
"Ah, (Brona looks at the digital clock on her night stand. 11:12) Where's Kendall?"
"Em, His Godmother lost her key to her hotel room and there looking for it he'll be back soon." She lied. "Want a cup of tea?"
"I don't mind. Do you want a cup of tea?"
"Yes."
"I'll go see if the boys are up." Brona said and went into their room. Carlos head popped up. From the top bunk on the left bunk bed.
"Brona is that you?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah it's me. You woke up when Katie screamed didn't you?"
"Yup, Logan is a heavy sleeper and James fell back asleep."
"Do you want tea?"
"Yes." Carlos said and got out of the bed, and climbed down the steps. He was wearing boxers and a t-shirt.
"Carlos put on bottoms, Mama Knight is down there."
Carlos grabbed his tracksuit bottoms and they both headed to the door.
"Oh, I dropped something I'll catch up with you." Brona lied and went back into the room and went over to Logan's desk and grabbed a marker. She went over to a sleeping Logan. She drew kitty ears on his forehead and Meow in the middle of the kitty ears. She blackened his nose and drew whiskers under his nose. "Look Logan you're a kitty." Brona laughed and went to the hallway and turned left and entered the kitchen.
"I put the kettle on." Mama Knight said.
"So did you get what you dropped in our room?" Carlos asked Brona who was wearing pj shorts and a pj top saying I heart Ireland. The shorts had shamrocks, hearts and soccer balls.
"Yes I did."
"What did you drop?"
"An earring."
"You're not wearing earrings."
"Busted."
"You drew on Logan's face didn't you?"
"Yes, could you blame me?"
"What did you draw on his face?" Mama Knight asked not mad at all.
"Kitty ears, whiskers, and I wrote meow." Brona said.
They both laughed Carlos tickled her at her sides and she giggled in-controllably. "Carlos stop." Then he picked her up and spun her around (his chest to her back)
"Brona kettles boiled." Mama Knight said.
"Let me work my magic." Brona said and went over to the kitchen.
After tea
"You two don't stay up long." Mama Knight said.
"We won't." We both said.
She went to bed.
"I'm still mad at you." Brona said and sat on the couch.
"Brona listen to me." Carlos went over and sat beside her.
"Remember I have this weird condition were I only here what I want."
Carlos looked at her.
"Ok, I hate serious Carlos. It means you're low on sugar and you're not even diabetic."
"Well, see. I got worried when I heard you and Logan made out and that made my imagination run overboard. So you have to be honest."
"Promise."
"Ok, are you and Logan secretly in love and Kendall is just the cover story?"
"No Carlos." Brona said and threw a cushion at him. "I kissed him first. I was hyped up on sugar because the bus boys brought me out and Logan wouldn't shut up!"
"Ok, remember I have an over imaginative imagination."
"Yeah I know I have one too." Brona admitted.
"Want to watch TV?" Carlos asked.
"So that we fall asleep and when Kendall comes home he finds us sleep and when Kendall comes home he finds us sleeping. He puts a blanket over you and he carries me to my bed then he goes to kiss me on the head but he misses and he kisses my lips and I wake up."
"My Mind is under imaginative compared to yours."
"Wait in Logan's defence about continued kissing me is" Brona took out her phone. "Wasn't looking for trouble, but it came looking. I tried to say no but I can't fight it she was looking lovely. She kinda reminds me of a girl I know of a girl I know. This pretty young thing that I got waiting for me at home. She's got my engines turning this happens every time. I see a pretty girl and I want to make her mine."
Carlos clapped his hands. "Do you want to find where Mama Knight hid our sweets?" Carlos asked.
"Ok Garcia."
"Ok Cox fan out."
00:15
Kendall walked in to find Carlos and Brona sleeping on the couch. Carlos' head resting on Brona's lap and Brona lying kinda sideways. Kendall went to their room and grabbed a blanket and put it over Carlos. He went over to Brona and picked her up. Kendall wrapped her arms around his necks. And carried her to her bed. "Good night babe."
The next day, The Palmwoods Park
"James, Ivy how could you?" Kendall shouted.
"Kendall it's not what it looks like." Ivy said. Kendall just caught her and James making out.
"Ivy I think its best you just leave." Kendall said.
"I guess you're right. (Looks at James) Call me." Ivy left.
"Thanks bud I owe you one."
"You do. Now go get ready for your date."
2J
"Camille you get the shoes I get the clothes." Brona said grabbing her dresses.
There was a knock on the door.
"It's open." Camille shouted. The door opened to see Katie.
"Need help?" She asked.
"Get the accessories." Brona said.
Katie went over and grabbed Brona's jewellery and her purses.
We were all standing at the door our hands full and of course the door had to be closed.
"Step aside." Brona said. Brona holding dresses backed back she ran and kicked open the door.
"Impressive." Camille admitted.
"Ok run." Brona said.
"Mitchel open the door." Brona shouted as the ran to the door and Logan opened.
"Cox calm down its four." Katie said.
"Knight don't talk just run." Brona said.
4J
"I like the blue one with the silver belt." Katie said.
"I like the red one with the sweet heart neck line." Camille said.
"I can't decide." Brona moaned.
Katie and Camille went over and looked through the pile and picked up a dress.
"I love it." Brona said.
They were holding up a light purple dress that went just up the knee. The straps were thin. There was velvet around the bottom of the dress. There was a velvet belt with a bow just above the chest.
Camille picked up a pair of gold sandals with a thin heel.
"These match. Go put them on."
After getting dressed.
"So I was thinking we tie your hair to the side and we curl it." Camille said.
"Ok."
"And I found these small gold earrings." Katie said.
"Great."
Later
There was a knock on the door.
"Brona go get it." Camille said and pushes her to the door.
Brona opened the door to reveal Kendall holding a bouquet of roses.
"Hey you." Brona smiled.
"Here you go." Kendall said and handed her the bouquet of roses.
Brona sniffed them. "Thank you, there lovely." And she put them in a vase Camille handed to her.
Katie and Camille rushed out the door.
"What was that?" Brona asked.
"Don't know should we go?" Kendall asked.
"Ok." Brona said and grabbed her purse.
"But first put on this blindfold." Kendall said.
"Really? But I know were where going."
"I thought it might be fun."
"Ok put it on." Brona said and Kendall put it on.
"I forgot to tell you. You look beautiful."
"Thanks."
Palmwoods Park
"Start playing." A voice said and violins started playing.
"James?" Brona asked blindfold still on. Kendall took the blind fold. They were in the Palmwoods Park but there was a table for two violinist and waiters and waitress.
Logan came up to them in a waiter outfit. "A table just opened up, please follow me." We followed him. Kendall pulled out a chair and let Brona sit down.
"Here are your menus." Logan said and handed them.
"Kendall you organised this?"
"Maybe."
"You're so sweet."
We looked at the menus for the starter it was mushroom soup, for the main course was steak, and for desert was ice cream with chocolate cookies.
Camille come up to us "Are you ready to order?"
"I guess." Brona smiled.
"Here I'll see if I can get your order right." Kendall said. "Two mushroom soups, two steak dinners and two ice creams with cookies."
Camille wrote it down and left.
"Exactly right. Are you Physic?" Brona joked.
The Kitchen
"Aww look at them laughing." Camille cooed.
"Katie you're on." James said.
Katie nodded and walked over to them.
"Flower for the lady?"
"Sure." Kendall said and gave twenty dollars and took the lily and handed it to Brona.
"Kendall you don't have to spend that much money on me."
"But you deserve it."
Kendall got lost in her eyes and leaned in. Brona came closer.
Author's Notes
