Sarah and I decided to sleep on the boat considering it was the only place with air conditioning. I groan to the sound of metal
"Wheezie shut up" I say.
But I sit up to see John b with the tanks in his hands
"You're not Wheezie." I say
"Correct. Sorry." He says
"What are you doing?" Sarah asks him
"Uh... I'm just dropping off some scuba gear" he tells her.
"What are... what are you doing... here?" He asks
"It's our boat" Sarah tells him
"It's also the only place with air conditioning" I add
"Right." He mumbles
"Did you um... top up the tanks?" Sarah asks
"Uh no no the powers down so the compressors were off" he tells her
"So you're sneaking onto our boat at 5:00 a.m. with empty tanks? I'll make sure to tell Ward." Sarah tells him
"I'm just gonna drop these off" john b says putting them down
"Yeah yeah the middle of the room is fine." I say
"Yeah this is pretty much what he told me to do" John B says
"Yepppp bye" I say trying not to laugh
"Bye" Sarah says
But John B turns back around
"Actually you know what... what exactly were you gonna tell your dad?" He asks
"Nothing much. Just that you poached our scuba gear." She says
"Okay fuck. I borrowed it for a few hours.
Okay? And then I brought it back intact and unharmed" John B tells her
"Minus air" Sarah says
"Look please don't tell him. Okay? He'll fire me" John B tells her
"What are you gonna do? Pull a gun on me?"
Sarah asks
"Ha that was a good one" I laugh giving her a small fist bump
"I didn't know JJ would do that" John B says
"That's convenient to believe. Maybe you should get better friends. Maybe ones who don't poach" Sarah tells him
"Look please just don't tell him. Okay?" John B begs her
"Relax dude. She's not gonna tell him. Your secret's safe with us" I laugh
"Yeah it's just funny seeing you stress out" Sarah says
"Agreed" I laugh
"Thank you." He smiles while letting out a sigh
"Okay you can leave now" Sarah says
"Right. Yeah. Uh... I'll leave... I'll leave that right there." John b says
"Yep there ya go" I tell him as he walks out
"You totally knew he took the tanks right?" Sarah asks me
"Most definitely." I laugh
"You know if topper knew that he would flip out on you" Sarah says
"Yeah well he can do what he wants, I don't give a damn of his opinion on my life" I roll my eyes
"That right there is how I know your my sister" she smiles
"Guilty" I laugh

I slept for a little longer before finally getting up.
After I got out of the boat I was met with the neighbors daughter
I kneel down to her level smiling
"Hi Amy." I say
She points to the boat her family owns
"I think my stuffed elephant is on there." She tells me
"Oh you left her in the boat?" I ask her
"Mm-hm." She nods her head
"Okay can you tell me what she looks like?" I ask
"She has a trunk and blue ears." Amy tells me
"Okay. I'm gonna get her for you" I smile at her
"Be careful of electricity" Amy says
"Don't worry I'll be okay" I say walking on a beam avoiding the wires
"Hey there's 14,000 volts in those wires" my mom yells at me.
I almost lose my balance and let out a small yell
"Hey Stella be careful!" Topper yells at me.
"Oh you gotta be kidding me. Stella get down now!" my mom yells
"Mom calm down. I'm an athlete. I got this" I tell her
"You're gonna get electrocuted! Get down!" my mom yells
"Are you kidding me? Get..." she starts to say again
"Stella, that's not funny" Topper says
"When I tell your dad about this Stella..." my mom says trialing off.
I keep walking and see her elephant
"I see her." I yell to amy
I hear her giggle with happiness.
"Stella! When I tell your dad-" my mom starts to say but is cut off by me screaming and pretending to fall
"Stella!" Amy yells
"Stella! Stella!" Topper yells
I laugh swinging the dead wire in the air
"It's disconnected." I tell them laughing
Topper looked pissed at me but that just made it even funnier
"For the love of God" my mom says
"Absolute sucker." Kelce says
"Yeah. Okay yeah I'm sorry that I care. All right guilty" Topper tells him
I walk over and give Amy her elephant.
"Thank you Stella." Amy smiles and hugs me
"You are very welcome." I smile
"What's up Top? Hey sneezie." I say as they walk up to me
"That's not my name" Wheezie tells me.
"What no way" I laugh rubbing her head
"Hey I've been looking all over for you." Topper says
"Ugh. God" Wheezie groans and walks off
