After getting ready to leave, the three of them hopped on the pogue and set off to pick up their other two friends. As the small boat was drifting down the marsh, they passed some locals, ''Hi Miss Amy, You guys get through it?'' John B questioned an older lady.

The woman was picking up scrap off the dock ''Still here''

''She totally looked at me'' JJ whispered to John B.

The boy nodded in agreement ''I saw it''

Bella heard the two and jokingly rolled her eyes chuckling.

JJ looked over at the girl ''Is that jealousy I can sense back there''

John B slapped his shoulder ''Dude that's my sister back off''

She laughed ''Me? Jealous of your shameless flirting with Miss Amy?'' turning to focus back on their surroundings.

''Dude look at this place'' John B mentioned as he noticed where his sisters eyes had drifted too.

Bella looked down at all the floating objects in the dirty water ''Jeez, this is not looking good at all''

JJ whistled lowly ''Agatha what did you do?''

''She is a crazy lady'' John B looked up at the sky.

The blonde boy sighed frustratedly ''We'll be cleaning this all summer''

John B shook his head ''That is my nightmare''

Bella averted her eyes from her brother and onto the passing docks, noticing that they had reached Pope's. A smile instantly formed on her face from seeing another one of her favourite people, two counting his legend of a father. Heyward likes to act as if he hates the kids his son hangs out with but in reality he loves each one of them, and he definitely has a soft spot for Bella. JJ noticed the girls instant joy as she saw Pope and felt an odd feeling arise in him, thinking it was strange, he just brushed it off.

''Well look who we have here'' John B says putting on a strange voice. Putting his mouth to his shirt as if he had some sort of communicator on it, he spoke into it ''We have a safety meeting, attendance mandatory.'' mimicking the static noise of a walkie talkie.

Pope was hosing down some mess that was undoubtedly caused by the storm ''I can't. My pop's got me on lockdown''

''Come on man'' JJ then decided to join in and do the same thing as John B ''Your dad's a pussy, over'' also talking into his shirt.

Heyward's head shot up ''Oh I heard that you little bastard''

''Hey Heyward'' Bella said sweetly to the man

''Hi sweetheart'' He waved, melting her heart, him already showing the soft spot he has for the girl.

John B looked directly at the man ''We need your son''

The blonde boy walked to stand directly behind Bella ''Yeah, and island rules, day after a hurricane's a free day''

Pope looked in his fathers direction, the man rolling his eyes in disbelief ''Who the hell made that up''

''Uh pentagon I think. We have security clearance, I have a card'' JJ continued.

''Do ya'll think I'm stupid?'' the man asked rhetorically.

Bella still answered though, after perking her head up and dramatically smacking her chest in shock ''I could never even muster up such a thought'' He just looked at her with his lips slowly upturning until his son started talking to him trying to wriggle his way out of his chores.

''I'll do it tomorrow! I promise. Tomorrow'' He persuaded.

''No. No. Hell no, You doing it right now'' His father said back to him not giving in.

The two boys on the boat had started whispering to Pope ''Get in the boat'' John B encouraged

JJ nodded his head in their direction ''Make a run for it''

''Boy if you get on that boat-'' Heyward started.

But Pope listened to them and jumped on the Pogue ''How does that feel'' JJ asked the boy, after he uncharacteristically disobeyed his dad.

''Bring yo ass back up here'' the man carried on scolding his son even though he knew it was useless.

Pope sat down on the boat looking over at his dad ''I promise I'll do it tomorrow''

''When you get back, you gonna clean shrimp, you gonna clean fish, You'll clean your dirty ass room'' He carried on shouting at his son.

Bella laughed at her brother when he turned around and said ''Love you Pops. We'll bring him back in one piece, I promise!''

''And I don't like your friends'' Heyward finished.

''Well I love you so much Heyward'' Bella shouted to the man as the boat got further away from him, blowing lots of kisses at the man.

The small boat carried on down the canal as they started to pass Figure Eight on the way to get Kiara. Pope and Bella sat at the front dangling their legs feeling a slight splash of water every so often, he had his arm over her shoulders as they conversed about how the South side looks much worse than Figure Eight does. John B was driving the pogue and JJ was standing next to him whilst staring at Pope with a clenched jaw, not even knowing why he was even envious of the boy at that moment of time.

''Oh, top o' the mornin' to ya'' JJ said in a horrible attempt of an Irish accent as he saw Kiara coming down the ramp of her dock.

''Good morning Boys... and Bells'' She giggled back.

''Hey darlin', how are ya on this fine morning'' Bella looked at the girl, as JJ held his hand out preparing to help step onto the pogue, in a less chaotic way than Pope had previously.

''Watcha got? You got some juice boxes?'' Pope joked sweetly.

She was holding a large cooler in one hand ''Oh you know, just some yogurts and carrot sticks''

Bella smiled at her friends interaction ''Mmm my favourite''

''How about my kinda juice box?'' JJ asked as she was stepping over, obviously talking about the beer that Kiara brings, as it's the kook kind. Looks more expensive and tastes it.

''Yeah'' she replied in a cute tone.

''Get me one of those'' Bella went and perched next to Kiara on the edge of the boat, Kiara resting her head on Bella's shoulder whilst JJ opened the cooler and handed each of his friends a beer, apart from Pope as he didn't drink as much as the rest of them.
