So I decided to update again, thanks to your reviews, xie xie! (thank you) So here's your update!
And I've decided to update a while later, cause I'll be gone for like a week or two, so I decided to update before I leave. I'll be updating "Risks" too. :))
The Next Morning...
(Brady POV)
I woke up. I was on the floor. I looked up and saw Mikayla, who was sleeping peacefully on her bed. Well actually, I saw myself sleeping, but it's Mikayla. I stood up silently, but being the clumsy person I was, I bumped onto the dresser and some things clattered to the ground.
"Darn, I'm too clumsy," I muttered, after seeing Mikayla stir. After a while, she was up.
"Brady?," Mikayla asked.
"Yes Mikayla?"
"I slept here? Not back in "my" room?"
"You slept after telling me about how you heard Lanny talking about the switch."
"I see."
Just then Boomer came in. His eyes bulged in horror. Uh Oh. This doesn't look good.
"B-b-rady w-what are you doing in M-mikayla's room?," he stuttered, his horrified look on his face getting worse.
"Brady" couldn't speak. She was tongue-tied. I was at loss for words too. How could I even say anything not too stupid enough to answer Boomer. I raced through my mind to come up with the best possible reply?
" She, Uhmmm, I mean he, needed to talk to me last night about, you know, breakfast today," I tried to cover up Mikayla.
Wow. Now "Mikayla's busy thinking about breakfast instead of protecting the kings. Wow Brady.
Boomer looked at "Brady", as if confirming if what I said was true.
"Y-yes Mikayla's telling the truth."
Boomer slowly nodded. "Come on Brady," he said and grabbed "Brady's" hand and dragged "him" out of the room.
Boomer's just that gullible and clueless.
"Wait, just a moment," "Brady" said, then rushed over to me, then kissed me on the cheek. "Thanks for letting me sleep last night, and covering me up today," she whispered.
I was shocked. I stood there, holding my cheek, which was warm. Although Mikayla kissed me on the cheek for 2 times before, that is when I saved her when she was stuck on the cliff, and another just last Christmas, I felt that every kiss was just as special and precious to my memory.
Once the door closed, I just smiled to myself, while hearing Boomer and "Brady" talking outside.
"Brady! Why did you kiss Mikayla's cheek? Don't you remember Mason's warning? You're going to be so dead! Mikayla will also hate you for that"
"Will you just hush? No, Mikayla won't hate me, she's maybe even happy right now. And Mason won't know," "Brady" assured.
"There's something happening between you and Mikayla, isn't there?"
"Brady" laughed. "Yeah right, she doesn't even like me back, and she never will, right?"
I froze. Those words sounded too familiar. They somehow clicked in my memory, but I disregarded it. What I thought at the moment was something else. Was Mikayla referring to me that she thinks I don't like her back, or she's referring to herself, that she'll never like me back. Ugh, girls. I'll never really understand them.
After fixing up a bit, I went down to the throne room. "Brady" and Boomer were both busy eating breakfast. I greeted them cheerfully, "Good Morning my kings!"
Boomer just looked up and frowned, while "Brady" smiled. I seated myself beside "Brady", which only made Boomer frown even more.
"Brady" whispered, "Brady, please say out loud that you need to teach me how to hold a sword. I don't want to stay cooped up with Boomer."
"But Mikayla, I-"
"Brady, I need to teach you before my dad arrives. You need to train."
I groaned. I didn't want to practice right now. I really hope I was back to normal.
"Boomer, I need to teach you two today how to fight. But if you don't want to, I'll be teaching Brady instead," I said out loud.
Boomer stared. "Brady" was also staring at me. I guess the words came out wrong. She only wanted to to train me, not with Boomer! I would be risking Boomer to know our secret.
Boomer started slowly, "Mikayla, I guess I don't want to, but if Brady wants to, then I'm coming for his sake."
"Brady" shot me an angry look. Oh No.
"I don't want to, it's too boring," "Brady" grunted.
"Okay then, I'll just see you later," I said.
"Need to go...to the errrr," Boomer said, then raced upstairs.
I knew exactly where he was headed to.
" Where's he going?" Mikayla pointed to Boomer running up the stairs frantically.
"To the bathroom," I said simply.
"Hey that means I can train you! He's going to be there for a long time anyway," Mikayla said excitedly.
"I guess so, if he's really going to stay there for a long time."
"Well, I'm sure that he will be up there for 2 hours at the most, so let's go!"
Mikayla grabbed my hand and we headed outside in the plaza.
I just hope I don't get myself hurt.
(Boomer POV)
I need to get up to the potty as fast as possible.
"KING BOOMER!"
"Ahhhh, squirrel!" I screamed. Wow. It's just Lanny.
"Well hello, Lanny. You see, I know you really want to help me with all these king stuff, but right now, I really need to..."
"My king, I know why Brady's acted so weird around you. Why he's a little sullen in your company."
I pouted. "And how did you know?"
"He told me."
My jaw dropped. Brady trusts Lanny more than me. Not really the thought of a kind brother.
"And what is it then?"
"He and Mikayla have somewhat grown feelings towards each other and they prefer each other's company now. As long as Mason's away, they'll stay like that."
I frowned, all thoughts of going to the leak, vanished. "He told you that?"
"Yes, it appears."
"So why are you telling me this?"
"Because I know how you can get your brother alone and be with him the whole day! Go on a trip to Mount Spew and go to the oracle man and seek out the real reason behind Brady's sudden disinterest in activities you usually do."
I thought about it for a while. Yeah, it made a lot of sense. "Wait, but if you already told me, then why would I still waste time on a trip to Mount Spew to know the answer?"
Lanny paled for some reason, but quickly recovered. "Oh you know, he might be lying, and that maybe there's another reason behind it."
"Thanks Lanny. Oh and can you come with us? To make sure Mikayla doesn't follow us, you can act like guard, cause I trust you better."
"Anything for my 2 favorite cousins!"
"Thanks Lanny! Gotta go!"
(Lanny POV)
Hahahaha. They totally fell for my plan. Now everything will come out as planned, as long as Mikayla doesn't spoil the fun.
Speaking of "Mikayla," I'd better think of a way to keep HIM here, and find a way to get rid of him too.
And for "Brady" I also have to be cunning since I'm dealing with a 1/16 sasquatch, not a immature, stupid, and clueless king.
Good luck to my plans.
So ta-da! Was it okay? I know it isn't one of my best chapters, so please tell me what you think of it! :))) Again, that all for now ;)
