Chapter 4 Call the Elders!

Disclaimer I don't own Pair of kings.

No one's POV

"I don't have much time left and I needed to come see you guys one last time. I probably stay for a few weeks if that's okay with you guys?"

Boomer shook his head. "No it's not okay! You're dying and we only get to be with you for a couple of weeks?!"

"I'm sorry Boom, but I can't stay very long, and I'm sorry I left in the first place, it was stupid, I shouldn't have left you and the island because I was selfish."

He waved my apology aside angrily. "Who cares about that now, we need to find some way to cure you."

"You're going to find a cure for cancer?" Brady asked dryly.

"Of course not, we have people for that. Minions!" He clapped his hands and 5 servants gathered into the throne room. "Alright minions, Brady has cancer and need all of you to find some way to cure him, now go get working and if don't you're fired."

The servants exchanged glances before rushing out of the room to do Boomer's biding. Or to pack their bags.

Brady should his head, amused by his brother and how he hadn't changed but saddened by his attempts to save him. As often as he and Boomer failed they always hated it and he knew this was one thing in particular that Boomer would hate to fail at. He was about to inform Boomer that what he asked was impossible but Mason stepped in for him.

"Your majesty, I'm afraid you can't ask the servants to find the cure for cancer, it's not possible."

"Well find the elders, they're supposed to be able to do the impossible, how else can they walk around dressed like that and not get laughed at."

"Boomer you should calm and try to think straight, but if it'll make you feel better I'll go get the elders and see if they know of anything they can do to help Brady." Boomer nodded in thanks before Mason quickly headed to find the elders.

"So should we go upstairs while we wait for Mason, maybe try to get to know each other?" Boz asked, his eyes haven't left Brady, he couldn't believe he was finally meeting his second brother, it amazing having one brother but now two, well for a little while two.

Everyone agreed and headed up to the king's bedroom, Brady was shocked to see his bed was gone and replaced with a log hanging from the ceiling with ropes, as well as a number of banana peels. He was happy to see that his brother's side of the room hadn't changed, Beyonce pictures and CD's carefully placed in boxes and under his bed, t-shirts thrown in a pile in the corner of the room, and some blueprints for fun stunts and projects spread across the pool table.

They settled onto the couch and chairs in front of the TV, feeling a little awkward.

Boomer's POV

I have no idea what to say, I mean it's not everyday your brother shows up after being gone for months and announces he has cancer. Everything feels so tense, Brady and Boz keep eyeing each other probably unsure of what to make of the other. I know Boz really wanted to meet Brady but Brady was always the jealous type and now he's coming home to a new brother who you might say took his place in all of our lives, well accept Mikayla's, and he's not even a king of legend anymore.

"So," Brady broke the silence. "what's happened since I left? Other than the fact that I have a new brother."

"Well we saved Mikayla from getting eaten by a gorilla, kidnapped a tarantula baby, fought a girl with who doesn't shave her armpits, went on a cruise, tricked Boz's ex-girlfriend, started a new club after the old one got destroyed from the storm, got Mikayla fired, bought a restaurant, started a fire in the restaurant, sold the restaurant, did a dance off, fought a sponge man, got chased by a werewolf, went to the dentist, got turned ugly, and competed in a thumb war competition." I replied, counting off the items with my fingers.

Brady looked shocked. "Wait….. You actually went to the dentist?"

I nodded my head. "I know, it's crazy but it's true."

"Where's Lanny? I haven't seen him yet."

"Oh I forgot to mention we gave him an island ."

"Wow, I've really missed a lot." He said sadly.

I couldn't help but feel really sorry for him, even though he abandoned me and the island, he still deserved to have been here with us and shared those experiences.

"Well don't worry bro, once the elders get here they'll find some way to cure you and we can have tons more fun together."

Brady gave me a pitying look, as if I was a child who couldn't understand why his fish was floating upside down.

"Boomer," Mikayla cut in. "you can't expect that the elders will be able to do anything, as much as I hope so we can't expect that of them."

"I know, but I'm not going to just give up."

Everyone grew quiet again, and seemed quite fascinated by their shoes, especially Boz. He hadn't said anything this entire time, probably feeling unsure how to approach his new brother. I'm sure they'll get along just perfectly once they get to know one another… probably.

I was trying to think of something else to say when the sound of footsteps running up the stairs to our room drew my attention.

Mason came running in a few seconds later. "My kings the elders have arrived."

Author's Note

Sorry for the long wait on this chapter guys but I hope you all enjoy it and please give me your thoughts. Anyway does anyone else feel like summer is just slipping away? It feels like it just started but now it's already halfway over. Mine hasn't been too great so far, I'm homeschooled and I have only certain days I can take my exams so I was studying till the end of July and that's why I haven't been writing for a while but I hope to make up for it this month. Also one of my dad's friend's son died the other day, he went out for a walk then decided to take a dip in the lake and he never came back. His dad went looking for him later and found his body. So I hope you're having a better time than me.
