Chapter 7
A/N- Sorry it's been so long since I updated. I got sidetracked. I'm also sorry this is so short.
Disclaimer- I don't own Pair of Kings.
This chapter takes place during Journey to the Center of Mt. Spew. The events won't be exactly the same as on the show.
So today is my birthday! I'm turning 17! Well, not me. The younger me. Brady finally learned to listen to me, so he's not hitting on Mikayla every second of every day. Young Brady and Mikayla are really good friends now. I mean, I know Mikayla and I were friends when we were their age, but they are much closer than we were.
Unfortunately, my 17th birthday was also when Boomer and I got into the whole 'I was born first' argument. The younger me was obsessed with the fact he 'remembers' that he was born first.
"Brady! No one knows who was born first, so give up!" "But I specifically remember asking Boomer if he wanted to go out first. Then he didn't say anything so I went." "If you remember what happened right before you were born, then wouldn't you remember Boz being there to?"
Brady thought about it for a second then said, "But I was still born first." With that, young me stormed off. Later at the party Boomer made his wish to see which one of us was born first. Just great. The young, stupid me has once again made my brother angry.
The next thing I knew I was at Mt. Spew. I entered Mt. Spew through a secret passage at the base of the volcano. Above me, the whole situation with the oracle was going on. Young me and Boomer had just decided not to see who was born first.
After that the oracle went crazy because apparently, 'once someone asked for an answer he must give it to them.' Boomer threw the scroll revealing who was born first down into the volcano. However, instead of falling into the lava, the scroll fell onto the ground beside where I was standing.
Should I open it? No, I shouldn't. It needed to be destroyed. I picked up the scroll and prepared to drop it into the lava. Just as I was about to let go, I opened the scroll and read the name written on it.
Brady Parker
So I really was the firstborn. I really was meant to be the one king of Kinkow. Then again, the whole reason I came back in time was so that I wouldn't have to be the only king. I dropped the scroll into the lava. It was instantly destroyed. I will be the only one ever to know what that scroll says. I will never tell anyone.
When I got back to the castle, I saw something completely unexpected. "Mikayla, will you go out with me?" The young me was asking out Mikayla in the middle of the plaza.
Mikayla smiled at Brady and said, "I guess you'll figure out after the night hunt." Mikayla walked off and Brady came over to me. "What's a night hunt?" he asked, sounding terrified. Oh yeah, I forgot about the night hunt.
A/N- I know in the show the night hunt took place before Journey to the Center of Mt. Spew, but since in this story Brady wasn't hitting on Mikayla, he never asked Mikayla out, so the night hunt never took place. Sorry if that was confusing. Also, I will be writing a new Pair of Kings story. It will be called A Royal Affair.
