I wake up to the bright sunlight and water dripping on my face, constantly. I groan as I get up and walk out of me room eager to see outside.

To my surprise, John B was awake too, flicking the lights.

"No power, great." He says looking at me with a small frown.

"I'm guessing no service either." I say.

"Nope."

We keep walking out the hall way to the living room where JJ was sound asleep.

"Yoo-hoo! JJ, have you been outside?" I say in his face flicking his back.

"I have polio, bro. I cant walk." He says not opening an eye.

"Wha-?" I start to say but catch up to JB at the door.

We walk onto the porch. I cringe to the sight of the ripped mesh wrapping around the porch that I know we'll never get fixed. As we leave the porch and look around outside, trees ripped from the ground, and branches everywhere. I depart from John B and walk over to the HMS and see a bunch of tree branches in it.

"Agatha did some work, huh?" JJ says at the door of a porch finishing a beer, burping.

"Hell yea she did." I say taking the branches off the boat, John B joining me.

"Ooh JJ get me a beer." I say climbing off of the HMS.

"Isn't it a little early for that cupcake?" He says throwing his can to the side and crossing his arms.

"Dumb shit, you just downed one."

"Yes but we are two different people. Only the older kids get mornin' beers."

"JJ. Get me a damn beer. And stop polluting my home with your cans."

"Fine. You know what- You should be thankful that I willingly serve you."

I roll my eyes and keep walking around to look at more damage.

"Here." He tosses a can of beer to me on the boat. I nod as a 'thanks'.

"Whatcha thinkin?" JJ asks.

"I'm thinking we're gonna fish." I say before John B can answer.

"I was gonna say that."

I ran into the house leaving their conversation that was still going on and walk into my room to change. I wear basically the same thing everyday just different clothes. Today I put on a bubblegum pink one piece, some ripped jean shorts, an extra t-shirt for later, and JJ's hat that I stole last night.

We set off into the marsh making our way, observing all the damage around us. I sat quietly smiling and waving to people on the way as JJ and JB chatted and waved.

We slowed down at one dock.

"Hi Miss Amy!" I say, "You guys get through it all right?"

"Still here!" she says picking up trash.

"She totally looked at me." JJ says as we drive away.

"I saw it." JB says.

"Yea she totally did." I say sarcastically sitting back down on the nose, leaning back on my wrists.

"We'll be cleaning this all summer." JJ says still looking around.

"Hell to the no, I'm not." I correct him.

"That is my nightmare." John B adds.

We keep making our way down the marsh and stop at a dock. Pope was there spraying down the wood. "Well look who we have here." John B says in a goofy voice.
