"Wakey wakey, everybody!" Brooklyn groans as she hears her boyfriend yell. She listens to footsteps pound on the floor, sighing when the door swings open. "Up and at 'em, princess! Swell day!"
"Nooo. Sleep day." Brooklyn whines, turning to her other side.
"Nope." JJ says. "Swell day, you gotta go to the beach." He says, lying on her.
"Jayje." Brooklyn whines.
"You'll love it." JJ kisses her shoulder. "Let's go, baby."
"I don't even surf." Brooklyn huffs, letting him pull her up.
"I'll teach ya. You'll love it. And if you don't, we got a giant umbrella, you can nap all you want without having to worry about a thing." JJ assures. "Sound like a deal?"
"I'll make it a deal after food." Brooklyn says.
"You got it." JJ pecks her on the cheek. "Let's go get you fed, milady." He leads her out of the room.
"You're weird." Brooklyn mutters.
"And you love it." JJ grins.

"Yeah, baby, now that's a perfect swell, bro. It's probably the best of the year." JJ says.
"Come on. Are you guys seriously surfing today?" Pope asks.
"Oh, don't. Don't." John B pleads.
"As opposed to what?" Kie asks.
"Well, I don't wanna sell the million dollars I have in my hand for 50K, so I'm gonna look into this." Pope says, putting the amulet in his bag.
"Wait. Pope, you heard me, right? I said it's a perfect swell day." JJ says.
"Yeah, and there'll be other swell days." Pope says.
"Oh. Wow." Kie remarks. Sarah lets out a quiet laugh. Brooklyn winces at her cousin.
"Ohh. Oh." Zack holds his chest in pain. "Ow. Ah, that hurts. Shit, I think it's a heart attack."
"Pope, that's like saying there's other pizza to eat, all right?" JJ remarks. "Like, come on. Are you serious?"
"Yikes." Finn whispers.
"Listen to your Earth Mother, Pope." Kie tells him. "She's, like, begging you to surf."
"I think my Earth Mother is telling me to maximize our intel." Pope says.
"Mine's telling me to maximize the swell." Kie says.
"You wanna maximize beach day?" John B asks Sarah.
"I'm gonna maximize this tan." Sarah says.
"I hear that." Brooklyn high fives her.
"Okay, everyone have fun maximizing." Pope says.
"Wait, wait. Hold on. Wait, where... where's Cleo?" John B asks.
"Oh, yeah, she just texted me." Pope says. "She said that she was on Pogue patrol, and she's looking for bait in the Cut."
"Lame. Tell her we're closed." Kie says.
"I'll text her right now." Pope says.
"Pope, hey, hey, rule number one, Pope, is no working on a swell day." JJ says, holding his phone up. "That's rule number one." John B wraps an arm around JJ.
"Okay. Hey, somebody's gotta do this." Pope says.
"You can do it tomorrow." Erin says.
"You guys have fun. Catch a nasty one for me." Pope tells them.
