Brady POV

Ever since last night, I've finally gotten my thoughts straight. I've figured out that I need to focus on training my brothers and the war, not my love life. While I wish that I could have Mikayla, right now is not the time for those kind of wishes. It kills me to know that I can't have the girl of my dreams, but it's only for a little bit. After the war, we can all go on with life as it was before, except with Boz, and Mikayla and I together.

"Brady, can you do us a favor?" My attention was pulled from my thoughts as I looked for the source calling my name. "Hey guys, what's up?" My brothers walked over to me. "The villagers are kind of on edge right now, and we were thinking about hosting a festival to calm their nerves." I suddenly understood what my brothers were hinting at. "You want me to sing." They both nodded. "That's half of it. We kind of want you to sing a song… with Ezio." I looked at my brothers confused.

"Why do you want me to sing with Ezio?" My brothers looked at each other. "Well, the villagers don't seem to really trust him, so if it seemed like you two were friends, maybe they would trust him more?" Boomer responded. "The villagers don't really trust me either though." I pointed out. Boz shrugged. "They trust you more than him, especially since you were king before you left, plus if the villagers see you singing then maybe they might trust you more."

I nodded, finally understanding their point. "Alright then. I'll sing with Ezio." I slowly stood up before following my brothers as we walked out of my room and to the plaza where there was a stage set up as well as a few tables with food on them. There were lights set up around the plaza, and a ton of villagers were already there. My brothers walked on ahead while I stayed behind in the doorway between the throne room and the plaza. I didn't really want to go talk to the villagers, because I still didn't really know of their opinions on me. Some of them hadn't even liked me before I left, so they probably hate me now.

"Hey. I guess we're singing together, hmm?" I shifted my attention from the villagers to Ezio. "Yeah, I guess so." There was still a mutual distrust between each other, but since he had helped me save my friends and family, I trusted him a little bit more than I had when we first met. "Yeah, I guess so." I nodded. "What song do you want to sing?" Ezio questioned. I shrugged as I leaned against the doorframe.

"Have you heard the song 'The Boys Are Back' from that High School Musical movie?" I stared at Ezio in confusion. "You watched the HSM movies?" Ezio shook his head. "No, I was walking past some village girls and they were listening to the song, so it became stuck in my head and I've known it ever since." I nodded in understanding. "Hello everyone! Thank you all for coming to the festival! Now, please welcome our brother and our friend, Ezio!" I turned to Ezio. "Are you ready?" Ezio nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be." We both then walked over to the stage before hopping up beside my brothers. Boomer handed both of us a microphone before hopping off the stage, Boz following behind. The music began to play, and Ezio and I got ready.

(A/N, listen to The Boys Are Back by Zac Efron and Corbin Blue to hear the song. Think of Brady as Troy and Ezio as Chad or Brady as Zac and Ezio as Corbin in case you don't know the characters names.)

After the song

Ezio and I finished singing right as the music ended before taking a bow and hopping off the stage, leaving the villagers to cheer. As soon as we were inside the castle, I turned to Ezio. "Alright, I have to give you credit. You're a pretty good singer." Ezio smiled slightly, just a small twitch of the corners of his mouth. "Thanks. You aren't half bad yourself." I smiled slightly as well.

"Hey guys, nice job out there!" Boomer and Boz came rushing into the throne room, both of them congratulating us as they came into the room. "Thanks guys." Ezio and I turned to them. "Well, I have to get going before I'm bombarded by villagers, so I'll see you guys around." With this Ezio pulled up his hood and took off running. "Well, I have to get going as well. I promised Lanny I'd help out on Lanada today. Since I've come back here I've been neglecting my duties as head guard on Lanada." Boomer and Boz nodded at my words before I took off running as well, rushing to Lanada.

A few minutes later I rushed into the training grounds of Lanada. All of the guards were already training, so I walked over to Lanny. "Hey cousin!" I greeted, earning Lanny's attention. "Hey. Are you here to train the guards?" I nodded. "Very well then." Lanny turned to the guards. "Guards, stop training. Mitchel is here to teach you some fight skills!" The guards shifted their attention to me. I saw Tate smile.

"Alright everyone, we're going to learn a new move today, except this time it's going to be with a machete instead of a sword." Everyone nodded before they all sheathed their swords and pulled out their machetes. "Is everyone ready to start?" I received several nods in response. Smiling slightly, I pulled out my own machete. "First things first, you must be sure to keep your weapon with you at all times. Now, who's ready to learn how to fight better?" Several of the soldiers raised their hands, the rest of them nodding. "Let's get started then. Now, in order to inure your opponent as well as sweep their feet out from under them…"

A Few Hours Later

I had finally finished training the guards, not stopping until everyone had the move perfect. I myself was exhausted from demonstrating the moves several times, as well as letting the warriors try to use it on me. "Good job today everyone. I complimented my warriors as they all packed up for the night. I then waited for everyone to leave before turning to Lanny. "Are you going to go back to Kinkow or do you just want to stay on Lanada for the night?" He questioned as we began walking back to the castle. I was about to respond by saying I was going back to Kinkow when all of the stress and exhaustion from today crashed down onto me, leaving me feeling as if I was dead on my feet. I apparently looked the part as well because Lanny looked at me worriedly.

"Brady, I think it would be best if you stayed on Lanada for the night." I nodded, too tired to speak. "I'll call the others and tell them that you'll be here tonight. You can stay in your old room for now." I nodded once more before walking up to my room as we reached the castle. As soon as I reached the room I sat my weapons down before lying on the bed, falling asleep immediately.

Boomer POV

I looked at the others worriedly. It had been almost thirty minutes since Brady was supposed to arrive home from Lanada, and he still wasn't here. "Where is he?" Mikayla questioned, fear and worry evident in her voice. "I don't know. He should've been here by now, and Brady isn't one to keep people worrying." I responded, my nervousness beginning to show in my voice. Boz opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by my phone ringing. We all froze, the noise scaring us slightly.

I slowly picked up my phone only to see the call was from Lanny. This slightly relieved me while making my worry increase a little. "Hello?" I greeted the person on the other end. "Hey cousin! I was just calling to tell you that Brady's staying on Lanada tonight. He was really tired so he decided to stay here instead of walking back." I sighed in relief, happy to finally know where my brother was. "Alright, thanks Lanny. I'll see you soon." With this I hung up and turned to the others. "Well?" Everyone questioned anxiously.

"That was Lanny. He said that Brady is going to stay on Lanada for tonight." Everyone sighed in relief. "So he's just going to be on Lanada for tonight?" I nodded, answering Boz's question. "Well, since that problem is over it's about time we all start to head to bed." We all nodded at Mason's words before splitting up, everyone going to their respective rooms.

Boz and I quickly got ready for bed before lying down, both of us relaxing from the hard day of training we had earlier. "Boom, do you think things will ever go back to the way they were before Brady came back, except this time with Brady?" I shifted my gaze to Boz, his question catching me off guard. "Yes, I think things will go back to normal eventually. We just have to make it through this whole 'King Blackfire' thing, and we'll be able to have everything go back to normal, with Brady that is. He isn't leaving this island ever again!" I finished, earning a laugh from Boz. "Yeah, I second that!" He chuckled, causing me to smile. "Good night Boz." I lay down on my bed. "Good night Boomer."

Mikayla POV

He's just on Lanada for the night. He's ok. King Blackfire doesn't have him. Everything is ok. He's just on Lanada. I tried to reassure myself that Brady was ok as I got ready for bed. He's ok. King Blackfire can't get to him while he's on Lanada. He's probably curled up in bed, fast asleep. I smiled to myself at the thought of Brady curled up in his bed like the night I had hidden all of his weapons.

I loved Brady, so of course I was going to worry about him when he wasn't near me. However, I did need to take his words into mind: We couldn't be together as long as the war was going on, and who knows how long that is going to last. Oh well. At least I can have him when this is over. With this thought, I lay down on my bed and fell into a deep sleep almost immediately, not even bothering to set my weapons back in my closet.

Did you guys like it? Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think about the chapter!

Lots of Hugs,
