The sun had long gone down and the Pogues were partying and having fun together. Evelyn laughed at JJ who had put an empty beer container on his head and used the handles holes to see out of.

"You look ridiculous," Sarah laughed.

"I think I look pretty good," JJ said confidently.

"I'd have to agree," Evelyn said.

"Oh really?" JJ said.

She couldn't see his mouth but she could tell that JJ was smirking under the box.

"Of course you do," Evelyn said, "We can't see your face."

The group erupted in laugher all except JJ.

"Haha, very funny," JJ said pretending to pout.

"Oh come on J, I was just kidding," Evelyn laughed.

"All right Pope," John B said, "Lets see some of these rap skills that you supposedly have."

"Yeah come on Pope," Kie said.

"I never made good grades in school. When I get out, I act like a fool. They say I come in the party and cause a commotion," Pope rapped as JJ beat boxed, "I'm smooth. Yeah, call me lotion."

"Get it Pope!" Evelyn yelled as the group laughed at the horrible lyrics Pope had come up with.

"Just like the good Lord intended," JJ said looking around at all of his friends.

"That was way too genuine," Sarah said.

"Come on. Give me...give me that shit! Give me it," JJ yelled.

"Ahh," Pope said walking toward JJ and giving him a hug.

It had been awhile and JJ and Pope were now wrestling with one another.

"Ah! Good, good, good, good, good," JJ said, "Get on the leg!"

Pope took out JJ's leg with his own making him fall to the ground.

"Ah with the single leg sweep!" John B said.

"You've got a new technique now," JJ laughed from the ground and Pope got up cheering.

"When did you start wrestling?" John B asked.

"I dunno," Pope admitted.

"Pope, a man of many talents," Evelyn said.

"I'm done. I'm out of here," Pope said throwing up his arms.

"Did you have too many beers?" JJ asked in an accent, "You want a round two?"

"Yeah, I think I'll take my losses," Pope said as he walked toward the dock.

Evelyn looked over at Kie who slowly got up from her chair to follow Pope.

"Really?" Sarah asked as she saw the girl.

"Way to be discreet!" JJ yelled.

"I leave, and this is what happens?" John B asked.

"Are you blaming us?" Evelyn asked.

"Just a little bit," John B said looking down at his beer, "Uh-oh. Your boy's out. Beer time."

"You guys are the ones that died, okay," JJ said, "That was--"

"Literally one job, JJ," Sarah said.

"Okay," JJ said.

"No Pogue-on-Pogue macking!" Sarah joked.

"One job?" JJ asked.

"One job," Sarah repeated.
