And time jump! It may only be five days, but it is more than enough for this story. Besides, nothing really happened those days and it brings us way closer to the confrontation. I'm guessing there still are five or more chapters, and then it's over. But until then, let's go to the reviews:

Wendy Pierce: Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, we're really getting closer. I guess the first confrontation won't be too far away. I'm sure you'll love this chapter!

Enjoy!

"So, when exactly is the full moon?" Boz asked, pacing in the throne room. Boomer was sitting on the throne and Brady on the couch. Brady actually had wanted to sit on the throne, but Mason told him he shouldn't. Brady was "fired" as a king when he left the island. If he ever wanted to sit on the throne again, he should be crowned again. And a coronation was the least of their worries right now.

"Don't you remember?" Brady said, "It's tonight, genius. How could you forget?" Boz ignored the comment and continued talking.

"And how much have we got?" He asked as he continued pacing. Curiously, Boomer noticed Boz always took longer to return to Brady than to walk away from him. The difference may be just a few seconds, but Boomer noticed.

"Do you really need to ask?" Brady said, clearly annoyed, "We've got zero! Seriously, nothing happened the past five days!" Boz stopped walking and stared at Brady.

"Nothing happened?" he began, "Nothing happened!? FYI, a lot has happened. First, I get to meet my triplet brother. We hear there's some girl who likes to take male bodies, who also happens to like drowning islands. Then Mason tells us we probably have to take a life to save our people – I don't know about you, but I just can't take a life. Can you? not to mention the tension there's been between us since you arrived." He had walked closer to Brady during this rant and now placed his finger on Brady's chest. Brady looked from the finger to Boz' face and then stood up. Boz was a little taller than him, but that didn't intimidate the lost King.

"We have tension?" Brady asked, a faint smile visible on his face. these three words in combination with the way they were spoken and the faint smile infuriated Boz. Did Brady really think this is a joke? Because, according to Boz, this was a matter that needed to be taken very seriously.

"Don't push it!" Boz warned. As Brady and Boz readied themselves to do something – probably start a fight – they were interrupted by a servant who brought three glasses of water with him. Brady and Boz immediately moved away from each other and pretended nothing happened. Only Boomer, Mason, Mikayla and Mahuma knew there was some tension between the two brothers. Other people either didn't see it, or didn't want to see it. Nobody even knew yet Brady had returned. Mason suggested they waited for the right time.

As soon as the servant had placed the three glasses of water on the table and had left the throne room, Boomer got up and walked to his brothers. These arguments between Brady and Boz grew slightly worse with each passing day, starting with the moment Brady realized his bed was gone. This needed to stop. They could only stop this Mutaku if they worked together.

"Stop it!" he said, "We need to work together. We have nothing, yes, and the time's almost up, but we still have until the moon rises. We have less than 24 hours. And that is enough for the three of us to save our island! Again." He added. He stepped back so Brady and Boz had the room to apologize. They stared at each other for a long time, waiting for the other to make the first move. Eventually, Brady started the conversation with Boz anew.

"Well, all this talking did make me thirsty." He said. Boz smiled and pointed at the table with the glasses of water placed on it.

"There's the water. Go ahead." Brady looked over Boz' shoulder at the glasses of water. He immediately decided what he was going to do.

"No, you go first. I insist." Boz shook his head, still wearing a smile on his face, although he had the idea it would soon fade.

"No, please. You are thirsty, not me. You go first."

"No," Brady then said, "you go first."

"No, you go first."

"No, I go first!" The two brothers looked up and noticed Boomer picked up a glass of water and he took a sip. He held the glass in his hands and realized he now had to act (a little) like Mason to make them apologize. Who knew having two brothers would be this difficult? "And now you two take a glass at the same time."

Brady and Boz obeyed this order and they both reached out. They also hesitated a little, looking at each other and looking at what the other would do. Eventually, they both had grabbed a glass, but they had yet to drink. Even though Brady was thirsty, he waited to see what Boz would do. And Boz did exactly the same thing.

"This actually wasn't too bad." Boz said. Brady, for once, nodded.

"Didn't think I'd say this, but yeah. Wait, did we really just fight on who would get to pick up the glass?" He added when realization hit him. Boz also started to understand they had been fighting over some small detail. Heck, they shouldn't even be fighting, they're brothers! And after nineteen years, they've finally met each other. They should make memories, not fight.

"I like it," Boz said, "Agreeing, I mean. Not fighting." Brady nodded. It looked like he finally made peace with his brother.

"No more fighting?" Brady asked, and Boz agreed with it. He repeated the words and they finally smiled a genuine smile. At last, they were friends.

And unknowingly, Boomer ended their five-second friendship nearly immediately.

Boomer never intended to end their friendship. Yet, he couldn't help it that he suddenly felt like throwing up. As Brady and Boz were making peace, Boomer put away the glass of water and sat down on the throne, unable to say anything. He feared that if he opened his mouth, his breakfast would come back. Much quicker than Boomer could've ever expected, the room grew darker and the voices of his brothers grew fainter until there was only darkness and silence.

Brady and Boz noticed something was wrong when they heard how Boomer fell on the ground. They simultaneously turned their heads to their brother. They shouted his name and from that moment on, they ignored the water. Boz even dropped his glass.

And then, they blamed each other. Boz used small words, while Brady could be able to say everything he wanted to say in one hour. Brady even said it should've been Boz lying there and not Boomer. And as Brady ranted, Boz stayed silent and with his brother. Brady eventually just left Boomer behind with Boz – even if he at first didn't want to leave Boomer at all – to get some guards.

Boz was alone, and could finally use the silence to examine Boomer. He was breathing – that's a good sign – and after an analysis of a minute, he had no idea what could've caused this. Then, his eyes fell on Boomer's glass.

Boomer had drunk a bit of it. Boz grabbed Boomer's glass and sniffed it. It had a weird smell, something that didn't belong to water. He then also sniffed at Brady's glass. It also possessed that weird smell.

The prophecy. It mentioned each would be challenged. Food was mentioned, but not water. But they also eat a lot of sea fruit since they live very close to the ocean. And that's when Boz realized Boomer had been challenged by the water that servant brought in.

The servant! Boz immediately became very angry. What did that servant think? He would not get away with murder! And he most certainly wouldn't get away with that murder attempt either, if Boomer lived. Boz had no idea who he was – probably a new guy – but the day they find this man would definitely not be his lucky day.

When Brady returned with Mason and Mikayla, however, Boz remained silent until they were on their way to the small Kinkow hospital for five minutes.
