"Whoa!" JJ said the second we stepped in.

Sarah and I gasped.

Inside the green was… a boat!

There was a full size boat hidden within the trees.

"Holy crap!" I whispered.

"Someone has obviously been here before," Sarah said in awe.

"Yeah…"

We all went around to see the boat closer.

It looked a little old and there was paint peeling, but besides that it looked as good as new.

I knew we were all thinking the same thing: now what?

"So… what do we do now?" JJ questioned.

Sarah raised her shoulders and I shook my head.

"We should definitely show the others, but then what?" I asked.

We all looked at each other.

Eventually, we decided to go back to our group and tell them what we'd seen.

"...and now we need to figure out what to do," JJ finished.

"Well shit," John B said.

"Cheese on bread!" Cleo whispered.

I wasn't exactly mad… or jealous of Cleo, but the feeling wasn't exactly comfortable.

"So, now what?" Pope pondered.

"That's the next step; to decide what to do," I replied.

"We could leave it there." John B thought.

"Or turn it into a secret hideout!" JJ laughed.

I looked at him and he smirked.

We all threw out ideas of what we could do, until finally, a lightbulb went off in my head.

"What if we use it?" I interrupted John B and JJ's argument about who could be the captain of the boat for our "secret hideout".

Sarah gaped and looked at me. "Wait, that's not a bad idea,"

Cleo nodded in agreement and so did Pope.

I quickly looked away and glanced at John B and JJ.

"I guess… but only if I'm captain." JJ nodded.

John B stared at him and said, "Yeah. It could work. We could go see it tomorrow and figure out how we want to use it."

"So it's settled!" I decided. "We now have a stable boat that we can use - maybe."

The six of us looked around at each other and nodded.

JJ cupped his hands around his mouth and declared, "Attention, all members of Pougelandia, we have a boat!"

Everyone cheered.

But I was thinking: once we got off, where would we go?
