A/N: Hey everyone, this is my very first PoK fic ever! I don't know what I will do with it, I decided to write something down while watching an episode (one with Sir Rocco) and well, let's see what happens. Sorry the summary sucked so bad.
Enjoy! :)
Mikayla walked into the throne room, knowing the Kings would be there. Like she expected, they were sitting on the thrones eating waffles and bananas in a cone. So disgusting.
"Kings!" She shouted, stomping her foot down. They both jumped in their seats, Brady dropping his waffle. He pouted. Mikayla rushed to clean things up after them while once again warning them. "How many times have I told you to keep this place clean?" She scolded.
"I dunno... you've been telling us for the past two weeks." Boomer said as he handed Brady another waffle in a cone.
"Yeah, I mean," Brady stuffed his mouth with waffle, "Wuts so special bout this cuzin of yours anyway?" He said with his mouth full.
"I told you, my Kings, I haven't seen her for 13 years and I want this place to look presentable when she gets here." She said, pushing Brady's legs off the coffee table.
Brady sat up suddenly, "Wait, she? You never said anything about your cousin being a lady." He said, wiggling his eyebrows.
Mikayla scoffed, "Please, she would never fall for a guy like you, King Brady." She said, rolling her eyes.
"So... when is this mystery lady arriving?" Boomer asked, popping his collar and straightening his crown.
"We-" She had started.
"Mikay-kay! Open in 10!" Someone shouted loudly from outside the castle.
"Now!" Mikayla rushed over to the doors and pulled them open in time for someone to come dashing inside, running into the coffee table, flipping over and landing on the couch on the other side.
"How was that, cuz?" The person asked as they rolled over to their feet.
"That was great but you have to work on your landing." She said, rolling her eyes and chuckling. "What have they told you about skating without your pads?" She warned, crossing her arms over her chest with authority.
"Blah, blah, blah, Mikayla." She said as she pulled off her helmet that had covered her eyes. She froze when her eyes landed on two boys with crowns on their heads sitting on the thrones. She removed her helmet completely and bowed down in respect, "Kings, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were there otherwise I would have entered like a civilized person." She giggled awkwardly.
The Kings got to their feet and shook her hand casually, "Hey, I'm King Brady and this is my twin brother, King Boomer." Brady said with a sly smirk on his face, trying to be cool.
She smiled and her teeth weren't as yellow as Mikayla's. Brady melted a little, smiling like an idiot. "It's an honor to meet you, Kings. My names' Jamie but friends call me Jay."
"Jay." Brady sighed dreamily and Boomer elbowed him.
"Forgive my brother, sometimes he can be an idiot, I'm the more smarter twin." He said, giggling like a school girl.
"You expect her to believe that after saying 'more smarter'? That's not gramatically correct, Boom." He said proudly.
"King Brady, it's grammatically and stop flirting with Jamie, she's not interested!" Mikayla said, pushing her away into the castle.
Boomer turned to Brady and sighed dreamily, "Did you see how her pretty blonde hair moved in the ocean breeze? It's so long and wavy and her green eyes and pink cheeks and perfect smile." He sighed again.
Brady shared the sigh, "Yeah, she's perfect." He said dumbly. "She's so pretty with those aqua highlights and she has a pretty body." He said, zoning out.
Boomer cocked his head at that, "Brady, I never heard you say anything about Mikayla's body." He said in wonder.
"Huh? Oh well... I guess..." He never really thought about it. Mikayla has a beautiful face and nice hair and pretty eyes too but other than that... the girl didn't have much to give. "Jamie has... more to offer if you catch my drift." He admitted.
"Brady!" Boomer scolded. "That's not a way to be thinking about a lady!" He said, trying to be a gentleman though he didn't fail to notice these qualities. Jamie did have more to offer than Mikayla and she was slightly shorter too.
"I can't help it, Boom, it just happened, man." Brady said, dropping into the throne.
Boomer noticed a strange look in his eye and he had rarely seen it before. Somehow, it was a bad sign. He knew what it was and he needed to talk him out of it, "Brady, you want her, don't you?" He said knowingly. He didn't know why he used the term 'want' over 'like' but he found that it fit in the situation better.
"I don't think so." He said sadly, "It's too soon, man." He said, shaking his head.
"You asked Mikayla to marry you the first day in Kinkow, Brady. For you, it isn't too soon." He said, rolling his eyes.
Jamie waited for Mikayla to shut the door to her room before bursting in girly screams, something she never did before. Mikayla covered her ears and yelled at her to stop. "Jamie, what's wrong?" She asked.
"Mikayla, King Brady is so hot!" She said, falling back into one of the two beds in the room. She sighed dreamily. Mikayla scoffed loudly.
"Are you serious? Brady?" She said skeptically. "Jamie, Brady isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed and he's... well, he's Brady, Jamie and Brady... Bleh." She said for a lack of words.
"I think he's great." She said dreamily.
"Jamie, you don't even know him." She said to her cousin. She found this very strange coming from her tomboy cousin. She dressed normally though, not butch, just to be clear.
She sat up suddenly, "You're right, I have to go talk to him!" She said as she rushed toward the door.
Mikayla grabbed her and spun her back into the room to face her, "Really? You're going to hang out with Brady and not me, the person you came to see?" She said sadly and offended.
Jamie felt bad now but she couldn't get the image of Brady out of her head, "B-B-But..." She couldn't argue with the look Mikayla was giving her. She sighed and was about to give in but she got one last spark of hope, "Come with me then!" She begged hopefully.
"No way." She said sternly, turning her back to her.
"Come on, Mikayla, please, please, please!" She begged, getting onto her knees and everythign.
Mikayla could never say no to her. She sighed but still looked away from her, "No..." She listened to the silence that came from Jamie and softened up, "When you get back, we get to do whatever I want. Even paint your nails and do your hair and dress you up." She said, turning to look at the expression on her cousins face. She expected pure horror but instead she smiled brightly.
"Anything you want, Mikayla! Thanks, you're the best!" She said, rushing toward the door.
"Wait!" She called out. Jamie stopped and looked back at Mikayla who now had something in her hands. She threw it at Jamie, "Put that on, you'll look prettier and it's pretty hot here in Kinkow anyway."
Jamie looked down at the pretty sleeveless sundress in her hands. It was black and had flowers designs on it. She smiled and ran into the bathroom to take a shower since skating her had made her sweaty. She put the dress on and it was shorter than she expected. She couldn't make any rash movements otherwise... things that should not be seen will be seen.
She combed her hair out that reached down to the small of her back and if straightened, down to her bottom. She brushed her teeth and then tied the small brown belt around her waist and repuffed the bust of the dress. She pulled on some black sandals, put black liner, mascara and eyeshadow on along with clear strawberry lip gloss and came out of the bathroom where Mikayla was waiting.
"You clean up nice, cousin." She complemented as Jamie twirled around.
"Thanks." She said, giggling.
"King Brady should be in his room. Usually at this time King Boomer is playing pinball with the guards. Brady isn't very good at pinball so he goes upstairs to play his guitar until Boomer finishes his game." She informed her. "You have to go to the very top of the castle, it's the only room there." She said. Jamie gave her a look and Mikayla smiled, "Don't worry about me, I've been dying to read this book and I took the week off since you're going to be here. I love the peace and quiet, seriously, don't worry about it."
Jamie nodded and the nerves she hadn't felt before finally reached the pit of her stomach. She swallowed hard, pushed the nerves aside and walked toward the King's room.
Brady sat on the wall on the balcony of his room, staring out at his kingdom as he strummed some chords to a little melody he put together a while ago. He sighed. The stars twinkled and they reminded him of Jamie's sparkling green eyes.
He realized that he had fallen head over heals for this girl he didn't even know. He tried thinking about Mikayla now. How she's so pretty and... Nothing. He couldn't. Now she seems skinnier to him for some reason and it's kind of a turn off. He's not entirely over her, of course not but he was having a hard time getting Jamie out of his head.
He never really believed in love at first sight but... is this what it is? He really wanted to talk to her but he knew Mikayla wouldn't allow it.
He heard a knock on his door and expected it to be Mason, checking up on him. "Come in!" He called out, staring up at the sky.
There was a light tap on his shoulder. That's not Mason... He turned and realized it was Jamie. He nearly fell off the balcony hadn't she grabbed his arm.
"I'm sorry, King Brady, I didn't mean to scare you!" She said, pulling him back to safety.
Brady straightened his shirt out and sniffed, recomposing himself, "I wasn't scared, I was merely startled, I was expecting someone else." He said. Her face fell and she mumbled a small and disappointed 'Oh'. Brady's eyes widened and he held his hands out in defense, "No, no, it's not like that! I-I was expecting Mason or Boomer. It's not like I have a girlfriend or anything." He said frantically, hoping he didn't screw up already. She smiled and he was seriously relieved. "S-So did you want anything?" He asked.
Jamie hadn't really thought this through. She looked down at the floor nervously. Brady stretched his head out, waiting for her answer but it never came.
"Hey, do you, um..." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, "you wanna walk?" He asked. He never asked a girl out like this before and his hands were sweating like crazy.
She looked up at him and smiled brightly. She wanted to scream so badly, "Yes." She said softly.
"Great!" He said excitedly. He cleared his throat and lowered his voice a notch, "I mean, cool." He said coolly. She giggled. She had to force the smile on her face before her cheeks went numb.
Brady lead her down to the beach and they walked on the shore, talking about each other for hours. They had laughed so much. Brady had told her everything about his crazy adventures with Boomer and was so happy she didn't think he was a total dork or anything, she only laughed and told him about one of her crazy adventures. She was seemingly perfect to him and they connected so well, it was hard to believe.
Brady was everything Jamie wanted in a guy and surprisingly more. I know it sounds corny but it was true. She likes guys that are adventurous, daring, brave, caring, funny and good looking. Brady was all of that plus charismatic and very sweet and charming. She never stopped smiling with him and he didn't seem to stop smiling either which she was grateful for.
Brady was so comfortable with her that he absentmindedly let his hand brush against hers, something he wouldn't dare do with a girl in fear that he'd get slapped. They were walking in silence now but it was a nice silence where you could hear the roar of the ocean and when the waves broke on the shore at their feet. He tensed when he felt her pinky hook around his for a split second. He looked over at her with the corner of his eye and she was looking away with a smile on her face. Was he imagining it? He had to be.
Jamie was dying for him to grab her hand, it would be so perfect right now. Was he scared to? Was he uncomfortable with it? Did he not want to? Every doubt washed away when he snaked his fingers around her hand slowly, asking for permission. Jamie giggled and grabbed his hand, lacing their fingers together.
Brady grinned from ear to ear now. She actually grabbed his hand! He never got this far with anyone before! He felt so at peace right now but where exactly did this leave them? Are they just friends or something else? He hoped it was somewhere in between, he didn't want to be too forward but he also didn't want to be stuck in the friend zone.
He looked up at the sky and then down at her. It was getting late and Mason didn't like it when he was out late, it was dangerous for the King to be out past nine but Brady wanted to keep a hold on her hand a while longer so he decided to walk to the rocks before letting her know it was time to end their walk.
Jamie never wanted tonight to end. It was so perfect, it was almost like a fairytale. She really liked Brady but she didn't want to be too forward with him or anything. Besides, he is the King, she didn't know what that bought along with a relationship.
She wanted to hear him talk now. She already missed the sound of his voice. Was she that into him? "Do you know how to surf, King Brady?" She asked him.
He looked down at her and shrugged, "Yeah." He said simply. He didn't feel the need to lie/brag about anything. "And call me Brady." He said with a smile. She blushed lightly, he barely noticed but since she was so pale, you could tell a difference.
"Are you sure?" She asked, referring to the name addressing.
"Yup." He said, kicking the sand up slightly. "You know how to surf?" He asked.
"Yeah." She said. She didn't want to add that she's been surfing since she was 12 so he wouldn't think she was bragging or anything, she hated that.
"Cool." He said as he stopped walking. He sighed and looked at her, "It's getting late already and Mason will come out looking for me if I'm not back soon. He has to be worried about you too, you are his niece after all." He said sadly.
"Yeah, we should head back now." She said but she didn't let his hand go. Brady wanted to giggle like a little girl out of excitement and happiness but he kept his cool.
He decided to make conversation on the way back, "So when do you have to go back to your village?" He asked, hoping she didn't say tomorrow.
"I'm staying in Kinkow the entire week." She said sadly.
Brady on the other hand was so happy she would stay longer than a day at least. "Cool." He said simply.
"Hey, Brady," She said, looking at the ground.
"Yeah?" He asked, trying to look into her face.
She looked up at him and smirked, "Race ya' back to the castle!" She said before taking off really fast.
Brady laughed, "Hey, that's not fair! Come back here, cheater!" He shouted after her as he started to run across the sand quickly. He has to admit, the girl can run... but not fast enough. Running away from the Tarantula People made him faster over time. He caught up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, trying to stop her. They laughed as they toppled over and fell into the sand. Brady twisted around at last second so he wouldn't crush her with his weight and slightly regretted it because she fell hard on top of him.
She panted, "You're... really... fast!" She said between breaths. Then they started laughing. Brady has had a great day today and Jamie couldn't ask for more as she gazed up at the stars on the beach with King Brady.
"I'm really glad I came to Kinkow." She said with a smile hidden from Brady.
"Me too." He said, putting his hands under his head to keep himself from hugging her or something since she was on top of him.
"You are?" She asked.
"Well, sure. I had an awesome time with you, Jamie. I'm glad I met you." He said honestly. "That was so corny." He admitted.
Jamie laughed, "Perfectly corny. Oh and back at ya', Brady." She said, rolling off of him and sitting on her legs next to him, looking down at him. "We should go." She said, grabbing his arms and trying to pull him up.
"Fine." He almost whined. He got up and brushed the sand off of his clothes as he followed after her. He finished dusting himself off and went to catch up to her but he was caught looking at the way her hips swayed and that bought him down to- Brady! Not now! Stop it! He warned himself sternly as he walked up next to her.
"Hey." She greeted.
He chuckled. She was so adorable, "Hi, what's up?" He asked, playing along with her.
She blushed, "Just getting to know this really cute guy." She admitted.
He smiled brightly, "Really? Small world. I'm getting to know this really amazing girl." He said, nudging her arm lightly.
"You think she's amazing?" She asked casually, playing along still.
"Yup. I've never really met a girl like her before and... I kinda like her a lot though I don't know her thoughts... on me." He said, slightly nervous.
She felt like fainting, "Well, it just so happens that girl is my best friend and she said; she really likes you too. You're just so cool and... amazing... that's what she told me. I think you're okay but I kinda like this other guy. He's the King of Kinkow, you know." She said with a smirk.
"Really? Well, he's a real lucky guy but I'm happy with being friends with this cool gal." He said, putting his arm over her shoulders and holding her close. She laughed and poked his stomach which was flat and hard. She felt tingles run through her body and she bit her lip.
He noticed this and smirked, working out with Mason was paying off. He was really falling for this girl, hard.
They finally reached the castle. He opened the door for her and she did a curtsy and smiled. He chuckled. When they entered, they wanted the ground to open up and swallow them down. Everyone was waiting for them. Mason, Mikayla, Boomer and two guards ready to search for them at Mason's command.
"Oh, well look at the time, I'm bushed, 'night everyone!" They said at the same time, racing up the stairs, ignoring everyone's calls.
Everyone decided it would be best to talk tomorrow morning.
