Let's pick up where we left things.

Introduction: Today is the day! The day where even the dark-side's residents put all their scheming to a pause. A day where love is in the air, everywhere you look. Waka-waka bugs are chirping, mermaids are singing lullabies to dolphins, Tarantulas are smiling etc. It's Valentine's Day!

Mikayla just came back from her guarding session and went up to her room. In her room she put away her machete in her closet. She turned around and headed towards her desk. She had some paperwork that needed to be finished. On her desk she saw the most beautiful heart-shaped card.

"Probably from one of those love-sick surfers at the beach." she thought by herself.

Inside the card was written:

To my one and only love, Mikayla

The more I explore you, the more I adore you.

The more I try to get away, the more I fall in love with you, every day.

Please be my Valentine…

Yours always, Brady

At first Mikayla was smiling, touched by the beautiful poem. "Awwww, that's so sweet." Then she realised that Brady already has a girlfriend and that he probably sent her the exact same poem. "That jerk! I really thought he was different, but he is exactly like the rest of the guys on this island!" She threw the card into the dustbin and stormed out of her room.

Brady was sitting with his arms wrapped around Peyton in the throne room, when Mikayla bursted into the room. (Lanny was also sitting there).

"Hi Mikayla, Brady said as he stood up to give her a hug, happy Valen…" "You jerk!" Mikayla interrupted him and gave him a slap. "Wow, Brady said as he was holding his cheek, well happy Valentine's Day to you too. So are you going to tell me what I've done or what?"

"Oh please, don't act so surprised! You know exactly what you've done. You had the nerve of sending me a Valentine's card while you are dating this girl." Mikayla said and pointed to Peyton.

"Brady, is this true?" Peyton ask with a trembling voice. "No, I have no idea what she is talking about." Brady replied. "I can go show you the card, if you don't believe me, Peyton." Mikayla said.

"Don't worry, Mikayla. I believe you. I know that he had a huge crush on you before I arrived, I just didn't know that he would be such a two-timing jerk just to get you." Peyton said and she slapped Brady. She then bursted into tears and ran off to her room.

Mikayla also started walking to her room when Brady ran after her. Mikayla was in her room, sitting at her desk, when Brady entered. "What was that about?" Brady asked upset.

"Oh please Brady, just stop. Peyton is not here so you can stop lying." Mikayla said. "I'm not lying, Mikayla. I, honestly, have no idea what you are talking about." Brady replied.

Mikayla turned around and saw the serious look on Brady's face. "If you didn't send me any card, then explain this." Mikayla said and took the card out of the dustbin and handed it to Brady.

"I didn't write this, Brady said with a confused look on his face, Mikayla, I have written letters to you before. If you look closely, you can see that this is not my handwriting."

Mikayla went over to Brady and looked at the card. "You're right; this is not your handwriting. But who…" "Oh no, Peyton! I have to go tell her before it is too late." Brady interrupted her and ran out of the room.

Mikayla still just stood there, shocked by everything that has just happened. "Wow, so Brady really didn't give me a Valentine's card." Mikayla said, a bit bothered by this. "I really overreacted there. I better go and help him out of this mess since I'm the one that got him into it. Even though I really don't like that Peyton-girl."

Mikayla found Brady in the throne room where he was standing, looking very sad and upset. "I'm too late. She's already gone. You're dad toke her with the balloon." he said. "Brady, I'm really sorry." Mikayla said. She was very upset to see Brady this way and it made it even worse that she was the one who caused all this.

"It's okay. It's not your fault, Brady said as he turned around and looked at her, but I must admit, it did hurt to know that you actually thought that I would write one girl a Valentine's card while dating another." Now Mikayla felt even worse and just looked down at her shoes, not knowing what to say. She only acted so fast on the card, because it felt so good to know that she received a Valentine's card. Because it was from Brady? She thought. No, of course not…

"It's okay. I get it. It just sucks that all of this had to happen today. I really thought that once in my life, I would actually have a date on Valentine's Day." Brady continued.

"I can go on a date with you, the words accidently slipped out her mouth, I mean I can go on a sort of a make-up date with you to make up for what I've done."

"Thanks, but no thanks. I've rather have no date than go on a pity date." Brady replied. "It won't be a pity date. It'll just be two friends, going out for dinner on Valentine's Day. That's all!" Mikayla said, with a smile. "Okay, if you put it that way. And how can I say no if you smile at me like that?" Brady joked and returned her smile. "So, it's settled then. See you tonight!" Mikayla said and turned around and walked away.

Meanwhile Lanny was sitting in his room, talking to Yamakoshi. "Yamakoshi, you're one brilliant fish!" Lanny said. "You're plan worked! Peyton has left the building!" Lanny said and both of them started laughing. "Now for Step 2!" Yamakoshi said.

That's it for now! Let me know what you think by leaving me a review. Coming up in Chapter 10: Mikayla and Brady go on their 'make-up' date. What has Brady planned for this 'make-up' date and how will it go? Found out next in the Chapter: THE ONE WITH THE MAKE-UP DATE… P.S. I add a new character ,Ethan, in the next chapter.
