THE PARKER FAMILY

As Mikayla's work day came to a close, she heads up to her bedroom to seep for the night. As she reaches for the bronzed-doorknob belonging to her room, drowsiness overcomes her. Yawning, she twists the knob, granting entrance to the room. Suddenly wide-awake, she rubs her eyes not believing the scene, hoping she was hallucinating.

With no avail, she lets out an echoing screech throughout the castle, "BRADY!"

Plastering the walls of Mikayla Makoola's room were posters of Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, and One Direction.

Tuesday:

Usually, Brady takes his "nap" during the afternoon, but today just wasn't one of those days.

At 2:15 P.M, Brady jerks his head off the fluffy-white pillow as he hears his phone go off...

"...And we danced all night, to the BEST SONG EVEEERRRR..."

Confusion takes over as he attempts to unlock his phone to stop the tune, when the phone keeps vibrating, and displays on screen, "passcode is incorrect." After tapping in the same passcode over and over again, he eventually locks himself out for five minutes.

"...I think it went OH, OH, OH..."

"...I think it went YEAH, YEAH, YEAH..."

Rolling his eyes, his index finger lands on top of the ON/OFF button, but before he presses it, he notices something different about his lock screen.

On his lock screen was a selfie of Mikayla blowing kisses into the camera with one hand and the other, holding a card reading, "NICE TRY PARKER!"

The last thing running through Brady's mind before tossing his phone into a drawer, was...

This. Means. War.

Is she your girlfriend?"

Brady looks to the left as the empty spot on the wooden-bench is now occupied by a blonde, blue-eyed, youngster.

"I'm sorry, what did you just say?", Brady asks, not fully comprehending the question. The child, dangling her legs from the seat, points across the room, her eyes landing upon a certain brunette. Brady glances up to notice Mikayla peering through a glass window, paying full attention towards the colorful-tropical fish, swaying its tail in the enormous tank, and half smiles.

Brady, with the idiotic smile he has, turns back to the girl and simply says, "Yes, she is."

"She's really pretty and smart, she even showed me Dory and Nemo!", the blonde says, now naturally swinging her legs back and forth in the air. Before Brady got to say something, the girl asks a surprising question, "Do you love her?"

Right when Brady was about to answer, an older version of the girl comes up to them, "I'm sorry, has she been bothering you?"

He gives a soft chuckle and replies, "Not at all."

With a quick farewell, the little girl left as Mikayla sits next to Brady on the bench, revealing the map in her hands. She points to the Saltwater Area on the map, and starts throwing out random facts about the creatures, "Did you know that Jellyfish is mostly water, and..."

As Mikayla was lecturing Brady about the coastal sea-life, he couldn't help, but notice the glint of sparkle in her eyes. It reminds him of himself on Christmas morning, waking up to the scent of Aunt Nancy's hot chocolate, and Boomer jumping on his bed, disturbing his sleep. But, Brady knows why Mikayla is like that around aquariums. Mason told Brady, that when his wife was alive, her and Mikayla would visit the ocean and tide-pools, as his wife would lecture Mikayla about the sea creatures. Even though she was young at the time, the memories of her and her mom visiting the ocean is one of the only things she had left, to remember her.
