Part 2: Brian

I got up early, but Colleen was up already and gone to Becky's. We're to present our projects next week starting on Monday. I went into the main room. With Colleen gone, that meant I'd have to eat Ma's breakfast, and Ma's cooking hasn't been to good since she lost that thing, can't remember what it is. Anyways she keeps burning things, as bad as when we first came to live with her after our real ma died. She thinks she's suddenly remembered where it is, and with all the places she's looked you'd think she'd found it by now.

I looked around, Ma was still asleep. Was I hungry! I wonder what was Sully still doing here? He and Ma are still on the bed curled up half sitting, and he's snoring like he's pup or wolf. I don't remember my real Pa ever living with us. It was always just my real Ma and us, then Ma and us. Maybe this means they're getting married and he'll be our real pa if he's staying over? Maybe they did get married? After I went to bed? I don't blame them, keeping quiet. Having to dress up, weddings are annoying. I remember Miss Emily's Wedding, and just now, Robert E.'s and Grace. I had to carry the ring.

What for breakfast? I went outside, Matthew was up feeding the animals. "Morning Bro'," He said. "Want to go to town? I'm leaving in a few minutes, once I finish with these animals. You can ride with me, good practice for you"
"Alright!" I could get breakfast in town. I had a ten cent piece in my pocket from some chores I did for Robert E. Then I could get a few more things I need for my project. "You going to see Ingrid"

"Yep, I'm bringing them some food and staying for breakfast, no burnt toast for me today." He started to saddle up his horse. "You can join us if you like"

"Nah." I could get gumdrops for breakfast. "I've got my own plans. I need a few more things for my project"
"What is your project?" As he asked I shut my lips tight and shook my head. "Alright," he laughed, "let's go then." He helped me up and got up behind me. We rode into town, with him having me guide the horse with the reigns. He dropped me off at Grace's, but I didn't stay. Who wants oatmeal when one can have candy?

I walked up the steps to the general store, Dorothy greeted me. "Morning Brian." I wished her good morning back, walking straight to the candy section. "Brian?" She followed me. "Is Michaela in town? She's been so busy lately I haven't been able to see her"

"Just Matthew and I came in." What to pick? "She and Sully are still asleep." Maybe I should smell each one first? "She's been so tired, getting no sleep this past week." The first one smells real good. "There's something she checks once a month, she told me but I forget what it is." I put the cover on that one and turn to the next, smelling the sent of licorice. "I don't really understand, but she's worried"

"She and Sully?" She stares at me, and I sheepishly take my hand out of the jar, I'd put my fingers into the good chocolate. Worth more then ten cents.

"Yea. You think it might mean I'm going to have a pa now? I hope so." Maybe the smaller chocolates.

"I guess. What do you want to use it for?" I didn't answer, I went back to looking through the candies. "Brian?" Dorothy again. "What do you mean that your Ma's missing something this month? Did Sully sleep over last night"

"I don't know really. She and Colleen won't explain it to me." Maybe the penny candy? "I asked Colleen and she said I wouldn't understand." No, Gumdrops. Just melt right in your mouth. "But Ma's been going through everything to see if by chance she might be wrong." What flavor gumdrops? "I don't get it." The lemon ones? "None of us are getting any sleep, especially not Sully." I do like the red ones. "There's some sort of solution and Ma's been sending Sully in search of this and that." The purple ones are good to though. "I don't really know." I made up my mind. "A mixture of gumdrops." I took a handful and handed over my ten cents, read to enjoy. "I came here to buy some candy, thought I'd let them sleep, anyways candy is better then burnt oatmeal. They were both asleep. You know Sully snores just like Wolf does."

"Brian, I'm worried about Michaela. Will she be in today"

"Don't know. Ma hasn't been her self lately." Then I saw it, the last thing I needed for my project. I picked it up, and handed over my ten cents, forgot all about the candy and ran out the door to finish my project.
