"can you believe they're tracking me and i have to go to midsummers? it's ridiculous!" dove exclaimed to jj.

they were hanging out. well, it was more of jj shooting a gun at random objects and her complaining to him.

"whatchu say, man? i'll shoot you again." jj threatened.

"jayj."

jj then shot the stuffed teddy bear and dove flinched and covered her ears.

"jayj! are you even listening?" she yelled.

he turned to her.

"what?" he asked.

she huffed and threw her head back.

he took off the nose cancelling headphones and put them by the stuffed bear that had fallen when jj shot it along with the gun. he then went over and sat next to the blonde girl.

"i mean, i don't know what to say about the whole...tracking you thing, but hey, at least you get to eat some nice fancy food at midsummers. and look hot in a sexy dress." jj smirked.

dove nudged him. "i bet you'd love to see me in a sexy dress."

he nodded. "oh yes i would."

dove giggled and shook her head.

"have you talked to john b?" jj asked.

she shook her head. "no. i don't think he wants to talk to me."

"he's been pretty upset since you decided you want to be just friends." jj said.

"i don't want to be just friends with bird, but i think it's for the better. every time we try, something goes wrong and i don't want things to keep getting in the way so i'm thinking it just wasn't meant to be." dove replied.

jj sighed. "well i guess jove is over."

"jove?" she furrowed her eyebrows.

"it's your ship name. john b. dove. jove." jj smiled.

"did you come up with that?" dove raised her eyebrows.

"maybe." he shrugged with a smirk.

"you're so cute and you don't even know it." dove shook her head.

"oh trust me, i know it." he nodded.

dove giggled and stared up at him. he stared down at her and smiled.

"hi."

"hey."

jj leaned down and dove moved closer to him.

their faces inched closer, their lips so close to touching.

"guys!" a voice exclaimed.

the two jumped apart and looked behind them to see pope.

"um...what are you guys doing?" pope asked.

jj cleared his throat.

"oh. just hanging out and talking. that's all." dove answered.

"okay. anyway, jj we have a problem. a big problem." pope said.

"what is it? i'm a great problem solver." jj nodded.

dove and pope just stared at the cute blonde boy.

he huffed. "pope, what's the issue?"

"they know." was all pope said.

"what?"

"they know."

dove looked between her two best friends.
