"We're going to the beach! Wakey-wakey, everybody!" JJ yells running through the house. He runs into his shared room with Estrella collapsing on top of her. Estrella groans loudly, "Get up, baby. We're going to the beach."
"No."
"No?" JJ exclaims, "What do you mean?"
Estrella groans taking the pillow beside her and placing it on her head. JJ laughs as he sits up yanking the pillow off. Estrella groans louder as he turns her onto her back, "Come on, let me see the big browns."
Estrella smiles though she tried her not to. JJ smiles softly as she looks up at him, "Beautiful. Come on. We gotta go."
JJ drums his hands against her sides before he stands up and leaves the room. Estrella groans again as she turns over burying her head in her pillow.

"Yeah, baby, now that's a perfect swell. It's probably the best of the year." JJ says looking at his phone
"Come on. Are you guys seriously surfing today?" Pope says walking past with his backpack on his shoulders. Estrella looks up from her board with a frown.
"Oh, don't. Don't." John B says
"As opposed to what?" Estrella chuckles
"Well, I don't wanna sell the million dollars I have in my hand for 50K, so I'm gonna look into this."
"Wait. Pope, you just heard me, right?" JJ asks, "I said it's a perfect swell day."
"Yeah, and there'll be other swell days."
"Oh. Wow." Kie says as Estrella gasps
"That's like saying there's other pizza to eat, all right?" JJ says, "Like, come on. Are you serious?"
"Wow." Kie repeats, "Listen to your Earth Mother, Pope. 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."
John B turns to Sarah, "You wanna maximize beach day?"
"I'm gonna maximize this tan." Sarah says
"Mmm." Charlotte hums
"Okay, everyone have fun maximizing." Pope says
"Wait, wait. Hold on. Wait, where... where's Cleo?" John B asks
Pope pulls out his phone, "Oh, yeah, she just texted me."
"Yeah." Estrella says looking around
"She said that she was on Pogue patrol, and she's looking for bait in The Cut."
