WOOGITY WOOGITY

The next morning Trinity woke up from the sun beaming through her shutters. JJ was beside her with his arms wrapped around her waist. She gently sits up and reaches for the remote on the bedside table to switch the TV off.

Trinity looks down at JJ who was fast asleep. Subconsciously she starts to smile from how peaceful he looks.

"Are you watching me sleep?" He mumbles.

Trinity taps him, "Get up. We told JB and Pope we would be back around eight,"

"What time is it?" He sits up and rubs his eyes forcefully.

Trinity looks at the clock on her wall, "Half seven,"

JJ puts and lets his head drop back, waiting for his tiredness to fade, "Give me a second,"

The girl gets off the bed and walks around to his side, pulling the covers off, "Come on," She stands for a minute just looking at him. "JJ, I'm going to get ready by the time I'm out you need to be ready too."

"Mhm,"

Just under ten minutes later, Trinity steps out of her closet wearing black shorts, a light blue bandeau and a dark blue flannel layered over the top. She also had a pair of black air force one's in her hand ready to put on.

JJ actually listened and got ready too though he was still visibly tired.

"Are you okay to ride your bike?" Trinity asks, slipping her shoes on and tieing the laces.

JJ nods, "Let's go."

They lock up and head out to the porch where JJ mounts his bike and revs the engine, waking him up. Trinity steps up and swings her legs around so she too has mounted the bike.

"Go!" She shouted, wrapping her arms around JJ.

Trinity smiled to herself watching the scenery go past so quickly. It gave her a slight rush of adrenaline from how fast JJ drives and the two weren't wearing helmets, not that they cared at that moment.

At the Chateau Pope and John B were stood by the HMS Pogue, not really talking but just waiting for the duo to turn up. John B's eyes flick up as soon as he hears a motorbike approaching.

Pope lets out a sigh of relief, "Finally," And he runs around towards the porch where Trinity and JJ were just talking by the bike. "Ahem!" He clears his throat gaining their attention.

"Oh right, yeah!" JJ looks past Trinity, "Let's go."

Pope gets up and shouts to the two girls sitting at the edge of the boat, "Uh oh!"

JJ joins him and smiles widely, teasing the girls, "You forget your keys or something?"

John B took them right next to the boat and laughs, "You gotta admit, it was kinda funny,"

"Mastermind, huh?" Kie says flatly, raising her eyebrow.

"Always plannin',"

"Some patriarchal bullshit." Kie jumps into the boat, followed by Sarah.

"Yeah, that sucked."

The two girls notice Trinity sat in the boat and it made them wonder where she was yesterday and if she had anything to do with the boy's plan.

"You still love us though, right?" JJ smirks adjusting his sunglasses. Trinity looks up at him which JJ notices. He makes eye contact for a second and winks before looking back at Sarah and Kiara.

John B looks to his girlfriend, "Still hate me?"

Sarah shrugs and folds her arms over her chest, "A little. We're both gonna get you back when you least expect it."

"Watch your back boys," Kie adds,

Pope raises his hand, "I welcome that challenge,"

"Me too," JJ nods.

"So, did you guys reconcile your differences?"

The two girls shake their heads but Trinity saw right through that and started laughing quietly, Sarah grins at Trinity and sticks with their plan, "But we are willing to work together."

"You know what? That's victory!" John B cheers.

The boys all put their hands into the centre, "Woogidy - woogidy - woogidy!"

"You know what it was guys? Hydroponics,"

Pope immediately shuts JJ down, "Don't say that."

"Alright shut up," John B silences everyone, "You guys ready to jack someone up?"
