The Kook Princesses Reunite

"Oh yeah, it's nice down here!" Cory grinned, looking up from the cabin of the boat at Sarah, her hands held in a thumbs up.

Cory heard the roar of an engine from in the distance.

"Come on down!" She gestured to Sarah.

Cory was currently sitting in the tiny compartment in the floor of the boat the boys were using to trap the girls in together. Her job was to lure Sarah down, and keep her in there quietly until the boys had sailed away in the HMS Pogue, leaving the three girls trapped together on the boat.

"Alright," Sarah shrugged, climbing down in with her and sitting on the floor.

Cory grinned at JJ, who returned the smile, closing the top over them.

They were left in pitch darkness, which initially scared Sarah a bit, so Cory tried to calm her down.

"Ah yes," she said awkwardly, hoping her acting was convincing enough. "My favorite activity." She pulled out a blunt from her pocket. "A blunt and pitch darkness, out on the water." Sarah frowned, though Cory couldn't see it in the darkness. "The feeling when you come out into the sun after simmering in the darkness for a while? Insane."

She grimaced, taking a hit of the blunt and hoping that she was convincing Sarah.

Cory heard footsteps from above–Kie's going into the cockpit.

"You should try," Cory offered, trying to keep Sarah distracted.

"No, no, that's alright," Sarah dismissed. "I don't even really drink."

Cory chuckled. "Please. I saw you at the kegger."

Sarah laughed as well.

Then there were two retreating pairs of footsteps from the boys, and splashes from the water.

Cory grinned.

"Shit!" Kie's voice came from above.

Sarah's head twitched, and she immediately reached up, pushing up on the compartment.

She pushed it open, revealing Kie above them.

"What?" Sarah snapped.

"What the hell?" Kie asked.

The two girls angrily ran to the edge of the boat as Cory climbed out after them, a grin on her face.

"Are you serious?" Sarah yelled after the boys.

"Are you joking?" Kie asked. "Get your asses back here!"

Cory sidled up next to them, waving at the boys and blowing them a kiss from across the water. Pope swerved it, and JJ grabbed it, putting it in his pocket with a wink. Cory laughed, looking at the girls.

"We can't," John B said, climbing onto the HMS Pogue. "Not 'til you two figure it out!"

"I will kill every single one of you!" Kie yelled.

"Y-you can't just leave!" Sarah added.

Pope stood up on the boat, giving the two girls a thumbs up. "There's food in the cabin, and JJ rolled a blunt."

"Hydroponic!" JJ said excitedly.

"This is ridiculous," Sarah said, beginning to kick off her shoes and pull her clothes off.

"Well, I would rather drown than stay here with you," Kie said, also beginning to pull off her clothes.

"Not the best idea," Cory said, grinning.
