A LOUD KNOCK OF HER door startles Kali awake. Somehow when she was sleeping her and Rafe got cuddled up in her bed. "Kali?! Why's your door locked?" She hears Kie from the other side and tries to wake up Rafe "Rafe you have to hide now" Kali says as he gets up with a confused look but Kie's knocking snaps him back into reality. He goes to Kali's closet and hides there while Kali walks to her door.

Kali opens her door with a yawn "what Kie?" she says to her sister as she leans on her door a bit. "uh Pope needs us, apparently it's important" Kie says as she looks into Kalis a bit "ok..I'll be ready in a bit just wait downstairs for me." Kali says as Rafe drops one of her shoes from the shelf.

Kie makes a face at Kali "what was that.." Kie says trying to look into her sister's room more. Kali pulls her door closer to her. "Nothing just go away I'll be out in a minute." Kali says slamming her door in Kie's face. She leans on the door with a sigh and Rafe comes out with a smirk on his face.

"That was a bit harsh Lii" Rafe says walking out of Kali's closet and she rolls her eyes "whatever I'm gonna shower and get dressed so stay here and don't move" she says grabbing a pair of shorts and a blue crop top and she walks into her bathroom.

Kali finished her shower and comes out with all her hair products. Rafe is laying in her bed on his phone "I didn't know you still had that picture" he says pointing to the picture on her bedside table. Kali looks and she takes a shaky breath "I forgot to tell you but..Sarah found out." She says and Rafe sits up "was she mad?" Kali just looks at him with an 'are you actually asking me that?' look.

Rafe sighs and rubs a hand over his face "well I guess we don't need to hide it anymore." He shrugs as Kali starts to braid her hair "hide what? It's not real Rafe." She says looking at him through the mirror. She sees a hint of sadness at her words in his eyes but it goes away quickly.

Kali finishes her hair and puts all the stuff back "I'm going with Kie now please please lock the door. If you need anything I have you Madi's number." She says going to walk out of the door "wait Kali before you go I just wanted to say thank you.." Rafe says standing a few inches away from Kali. She nods her head "you don't need to thank me. It was me returning your kind gesture on midsummers" she says with a smile as she walks out of the room.

"code red" Pope says once he sees the girls "what the hell is going on?" Kie yells at the boy as Kali crosses her arms "JJ, John B, and Lucy conked out in the marsh they need a tow" Pope says as Kie and Kali get on the boat "uh ok but what does that have to do with us?" Kali says standing next to Kie "we need you for mechanical" Pope says sweetly making Kali roll her eyes playfully.

They speed off and get to the marsh pretty quickly "John B and JJ are up in the alp and Lucy's trying to fix the problem" Pope says as they get closer and closer to the boat "can't you guys do anything without us?" Kie says as Pope stops and Kali gets on the other boat.

Kali walks to where the boys and Lucy are and stands behind John B "what happened?" she says as she looks from the two blondes to the brunette "the uh alternator's not alternating anymore" JJ says as Kie stands behind Kali "it's not charged" John B says as Kie moves past her sister to get a better look "did you check the plugs?" She asks them "no uh no. You should check 'em" Lucy says as JJ agrees.
