"This place is so cool," I told Brady.

"Yup and it is all mine and Boomers," he said, "oh and Boz."

"Do you not like him being here?" I asked.

"Trust me I am happy I have another brother but..." He stopped for a minute, "I feel like I'm being replaced."

"Brady, your brother will always love you and so will your kingdom," I said, "you'll never be replaced." I wrapped my arms around him and touched our foreheads together. He smiled and closed the distance between us. After about who knows how long we broke apart.

"Ready to go back," Brady asked.

"Do we have to," I whined.

"You can't have a party without the guest of honor," he said.

"I suppose not," I replied. He smiled at me and together we walked back to the castle. When we got there they took Brady away to do some king stuff, but before he left he told me I could go explore the castle. The place looks small on the outside but there was a lot of hallways. I think I got lost about five times. I came upon a hallway that had a painting of Brady's parents. Their father looked very strong and had kind eyes, and their mother had the same kind of eyes. Her smile was so beautiful and she looked so full of life.

"Wow," I whispered. As I admired the painting the sound of flip flops was echoing off the wall. I looked up and saw a girl with medium brown hair and brown eyes.

"What are you doing here," she said in alert as she pulled out her knife.

"I..." I stumbled for words. It's really hard to think with a weapon to your face. The girl then grabbed my hair and dragged me towards the exit. "Let go!" I screamed. She just held on tighter to me. Out of reflex I hit her hand and stepped on her toes. She let go with a scream and I bolted.

"Hey!" She yelled. As I was running I looked everywhere for a sign of Brady. I finally saw him talking to one of the guards. He saw me running towards him.

"Taylor?" Brady said surprised. I threw myself behind him and tried to hide from be monkey girl. "What happened?"

"I was exploring the castle when this monkey girl came and tried to drag me out!" I explained. The Boomer and Boz came in.

"Dude! Mikayla is so cra cra!" Boomer said.

"Yeah she is bananas!" Boz said.

"Guess calm down," Brady said, "Mikayla is what?"

"There she is guards arrests her," Mikayla said as she pointed at me.

"Ah! Monkey girl," I yelled and hid more behind Brady.

"EVERYONE STOP!" Mason yelled and everyone paused. "Mikayla you can't just arrest people without a good reason."

"But I found her wandering the halls! She could be a thief," Mikayla said while pointing at me. Then she stopped and looked up at Brady astonishly, "Brady?"

"Hey Mikayla," Brady said awkwardly. Mikayla was at first surprised then she ran over and gave him a hug. I admit part of me was jealous but I tried not to show it. When she pulled away her eyes looked at me again.

"What are you doing touching the king?" Mikayla asked harshly.

"Um...I'm Taylor Malcolm," I said, "Brady's girlfriend."

"Brady you have a girlfriend?" Mikayla asked in shock.

"Surprise?" Brady said.

"Awkward," was all Boz could say.

So far my trip here wasn't pleasant. I was almost drowned, stung, and killed by a monkey girl all in one day. I was just so happy when it finally came time to the party. I have never seen Brady so happy, well maybe once when I got him churros for his birthday. Clearly Brady felt really happy that the people didn't forget about him and he and Boz were getting along well. I wish I could say the same for me. All night Mikayla has been giving my stares and glances like I'm about to do something bad and she is waiting to catch me in action. I try to ignore it and enjoy the party because its Brady's night. When it was time to eat I was about to go over and sit with Brady but I was stopped by Mikayla. "Only kings sit up front," she said.

"Oh sorry," I replied then went to go look for another seat. I decided to sit next to a teenage looking islander, who seemed to be enjoying the party way too much.

"You enjoying the PAR-TE!" He yelled. I just nodded and tried to sit as far away from him as possible. I saw Boomer, Brady, and Boz all sitting up front and I saw Mikayla and Mason sitting to her left. When Brady saw me, he waved for me to come sit next to him, so I did. And let me tell you Mikayla did not look happy at all.

"You having fun?" Brady asked.

"It's a party? Of course I'm having fun," I answered and he just laughed. After the food everyone left the room and went to the court yard where they all decided to dance. I wasn't going to miss this opportunity to have fun. The music and people were so lively, it was exciting. I danced with so many people, faces became a blur as I was passed on from person to person I became so dizzy that I ended up tripping over something. Luckily the impact never came, I was caught by strong arms. I looked up at the face of my savior and saw that it was Brady. I gave him a smile and thanked him. He smiled back as a welcome.

"Want to dance?" He asked.

"What kind of question is that?" I replied as I wrapped my arms around him and we swayed to the music. It was a nice slow song with a steady beat. We moved from side to side caught up in our own little world, ignoring the outside. I rested my head on his chest and he snuggled into it. His hair tickled me so I started to giggle a bit.

"Your so cute," he said and I just blushed. Our moment was interrupted by a cough. We broke apart and saw Mikayla standing there.

"Mind of I borrow him for a minute?" She asked.

"Oh," I said, "yeah go ahead." I said then backed out off of the dance floor. I walked to a quite part of the party and just looked at the stars. I sighed a little and thought how pathetic I was for not being strong enough to do anything. I just can't rely on Brady forever.

"What are you thinking about," said someone behind me. I turned around and saw Brady standing there.

"I thought you were with monkey girl?" I asked. He chuckled and shook his head.

"I told her I needed some air," he said, "now back to my previous question."

"You think I was stupid," I said shyly.

"Aw, come on baby I would never do that," he said, "beside they can't be as stupid as mine?"

"That's true."

"Hey!" I laughed.

"I was thinking how pathetic I am," I said softly, "I can't protect myself, I'm afraid of traveling, I get lost way too easy."

"Taylor it's fine I'm here for you."

"That's the thing Brady, I can't rely on you forever."

"I don't mind."

"But I do! I need to learn to be strong otherwise I'll lose..."

"Lose what?"

"I'll lose you," I said quietly hoping he didn't hear.

"Taylor," he said, "you won't lose me and I promise I won't lose you. You're the only one that I know of who can deal with all of me." I laughed at that statement.

"Really?" I asked.

"Truly," was his answer. I realized our faces were only two inches away so I decided to close the gap between us. We kissed for a while and only separated when we needed air. Sadly we were interrupted again by someone. This time it wasn't Mikayla, but her father.

"Sorry to interrupt this lovely moment," Mason said.

"Yeah me too," Brady said.

"But we are about to cut cake," he finished.

"Cake!" Brady yelled and then ran as fast as he could towards the cake. I could only giggle at him.

"You like king Brady I'm assuming?" Mason asked.

"Yup," I answered, "we have been dating for almost 2 years."

"Really?" Mason asked.

"I know I was surprised to," I replied, "I admit he does have his ups and downs but he always puts others before him."

"Sounds very king like," he said.

"Yeah..." I said, "I guess it does." Then I left to go join the rest of the party.
