Hey guys! Thanks for reviewing Chapter One! I hope you'll like this one. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own POK in any way. If I did, Season One would have Brady, be WAY better, and Brakayla would thrive (Sorry I took this disclaimer from you, Wendy. It's just that I totally agree with you).

Mikayla's POV

"Mikayla!"
I turned around. There were Kinkow's two biggest idiots, King Boomer and King Boz, coming towards me, looking angry.

"We're having a fight. You can help us settle it," Boomer said.

I rolled my eyes. Why did it always have to be me?

"Boz says he's smarter than me. We both know that's not true. I'm smarter! Tell him, girl."

See what I have to deal with?

"My kings, you are both equally… uhhh…"

"Equally dumb." Their cousin Lanny had magically appeared out of nowhere, something he did all the time, but it was still annoying. "You two numbskulls are equally stupid idiots."

"Stay out of this, Lanny," I told him crossly.

He just shrugged. "I'm just saying."

I turned back to Boomer and Boz. "My kings, you're triplets," I tried hard not to think about the third triplet, "you have equal abilities."

"Not always. I still say I'm way smarter," Boz said.

"You were raised by apes. How smart can you possibly be?" Boomer demanded.

"Oh, you wanna go?"
"Shut up, you two! Lanny's right," ouch, that hurt, "you're both idiots. Now don't you have anything better to do than argue about something that doesn't matter?"

"You're right. Rebecca should be home from school by now, I'm gonna go Skype her." Boomer started walking up the stairs. "Mikayla, I need you to come for protection."

"Why do you need protection? You're just going to be in your room."

"I'm a king, someone's always trying to kill me."

I rolled my eyes, but I followed him and Boz up to their room anyway.

It was probably a good thing I'd come, because Boomer had completely forgotten how Skype worked, and Boz had never used it before, being raised by apes and all.

Rebecca's face came up on screen. "Hey Boomer! Hi Boz! Oh, hi Mikayla!"

"Hi Rebecca!" We chorused.

"Oh my gosh, Boomer, the craziest thing happened to me today! I saw your brother at school today!"

"Brady?" Boomer asked.

All the air rushed out of my lungs. Brady? I tried so hard not to think about him… But now he came back to me in a rush of memories. His goofy grin, his cheesy but sweet compliments, his girly scream, his clumsiness, the way he looked at me…

I remembered the time he tried to win Iris just because I asked him to. I remembered when he'd risked his life going into the Waka Waka hive to save my life while I was dying. I remembered all the times he'd done stupid, but brave and noble things to impress me. He'd always done whatever it took to get my attention. He'd really liked me. And even though he could be a stupid, thick-headed, cheesy goofball, I might have liked him too. I just didn't know…

"Yeah, Brady. He said he hasn't talked to you since he left. He hadn't even heard about Boz yet."

Rebecca's voice jerked me back to reality.

"He hasn't even tried to contact me since he left. I didn't even know he was going back to school or anything! And what did he say when he heard about Boz?"
"He said…" Her face scrunched up a little, trying to remember. "He looked like I'd hit him with a bus or something. I'm kinda worried about him, Boomer," she continued. "Everyone keeps teasing him, calling him a loser and stuff, just like old times. And Rondo still hangs him on lockers and everything. He's such a jerk," she finished, scowling.

Boomer frowned, looking worried. "How's he taking it?"

Her face darkened. "Not too good. One of my friends is in his homeroom, and she told me that Rondo was throwing spitballs at his neck this morning and calling him names, and finally Brady turned around and punched him in the face. He got in SO much trouble."

"That doesn't sound good," Boz said, looking concerned.

"It's not good," Boomer said. "Rebecca, can you…"

"Try to look out for him? You know I will."
Boomer smiled at her. "Thanks Rebecca. And can you please tell him to contact me? I really miss him."

"Okay, I will."

"Clear out, guys, I need time with my lady," Boomer told me and Boz.

"I thought you needed protection," I said sarcastically.

"Not anymore, I think I'll be just fine on my own, thanks Mikayla. Now you and Boz scoot."

"Fine. Bye Rebecca. Come on, Boz." I left, dragging Boz with me.

"Boomer really misses Brady, doesn't he?" Boz asked me.

I nodded, trying not to think about Brady. "They've been best friends since birth. They've never gone without each other."

Boz bent his head. "I guess I can't compare to that, can I?"
I patted his shoulder. "Boomer and Brady have something special. But so do you and Boomer. You guys clicked instantly, and you two became close really quickly. You don't have the same bond with Boomer that Brady had, but you two are still brothers. Boomer thinks of you as one of his best friends."

Boz grinned, then frowned again. "Do you miss Brady, Mikayla?"
Did I miss Brady? Yeah, I did! I'd thought of him and missed him every day since he'd left. I wanted him to come back so badly…

"Yeah, I miss him. He was a good friend."

I knew Boz could tell there was more than that, but he didn't say anything, for which I was grateful.

Then Boz left me, and I went down to the throne room, where my dad and Mahumma were talking in low voices.

"What's going on?" I asked.

They both looked up, then Mahumma left quickly. In fact, I'd never seen him go so fast.

"Daddy, what's going on?" I asked him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, baby girl," he said, so quickly and guiltily that I knew he was lying.

I pulled out my machete. "Just tell me. It'll be a whole lot easier."
My dad sighed. "Mikayla, something's stringing on the dark side. Something bad. The elders think it's because King Brady left."

"Is it?"
"I don't know. Don't worry about it, Mikayla." My dad patted my shoulder, smiled at me, then left.

But I did worry. Why did Brady have to leave and mess things up for everyone? I clenched my hand into a fist over my machete hilt. I wanted him back. I just wished I knew how to get him back.

That's it for this chapter! I'm really sorry these chapters are so dull, they're sort of like a prologue, to show you Brady and Mikayla miss each other :( But I put some impending doom on the horizon, to spice it up a bit. The next chapter will hopefully be a bit more interesting. When you review, please tell me if you want me to stick with Brady and Mikayla POVs, or do Boomer and/or Boz too. Please review and tell me what you think! Freaky freaky freaky freaky fresh! Word. (To quote Oliver Oken, played by Mitchel Musso who also plays Brady Parker)
