Blue and JJ lay naked under the blankets of their bed. The sun shining through the windows lights the room and the wind blows softly through the open window. "We gotta get up and go over to JB's." JJ sighs as he plays with Blue's hair. She groans and pulls the covers over her face turning away from him. "Come on, and after we help with the plan, i'm gonna take you on a real date." He says and pokes her arm. Blue slowly turns her head and moves the a blanket just enough so her eyes peek out. "Really? JJ Maybanks has planned a date, we better mark our calendars." She says sarcastically. "No, like, actually, a real date just me and you, baby. I've got it all planned out." JJ smirks as he gets up and puts his boxers and shorts on. Blue's never gone on a real date before, not with anyone, not even JJ. When she was younger all the boys thought she was weird for only hanging out with John B and JJ, then as they got older the boys were scared to talk to her because of John B and JJ.
After getting ready for the day, the two walk over to John B's house and down to the dock where John B and Sarah wait. "I still don't think this is a good idea." Blue whispers to JJ as they approach the boat. "It's going to be fine." He whispers back. "Good after noon, captain." JJ salutes John B as he boards the boat and then helps Blue get on. She notices a small blue cooler and opens it curiously, it's a pack of beer on ice. "Nice, you brought the goodies." She says nodding her head with a grin and takes one, popping is open on the side of the boat. "Toss one over here babe!" JJ shouts from across from her, she grabs one and throws it to him and he immediately opens it. Beer spraying everywhere, getting all over everyone and the boat. "Seriously?" Sarah Cameron asks angrily. "If you're gonna hang with the pogues, you better get used to getting dirty." Blue shrugs as she sips her drink. Suddenly the boat stops and Blue sighs, knowing the plan is still happening. "JJ, i'm gonna need your expertise." John B shouts from the cockpit. Blue's job is to watch for Pope coming with Kiara and then get Sarah to go look for something under the storage and basically lock her in. She stands in the cockpit with the two boys and sees the HMS Pogue driving towards them. "Hey Sarah, they need some pliers, can you go down to the storage?" Blue asks. "Can't you go down and get them?" Sarah questions. "Well, no, because i'm claustrophobic and deathly afraid of the dark." Blue explains, which is true, she has many fears. "It's true, she'll have a full on panic attack down there." John B agrees, needing his plan to go smooth. Reluctantly Sarah goes down to the small storage compartment while Blue holds it open and as soon as Sarah's fully in she slides the hatch closed.
"What happened?" Kiara asks, clearly still angry at John B. "Well, hello to you too." Blue scoffs, she loves Kiara with all her heart, but that girl can't control her anger. "Uh, the alternators not alternating anymore." JJ answers pretending to be his regular air-headed self. "It's not charged." John B says. "Did you check the plugs?" Kiara asks walking closer to the engine. "No, they didn't, but maybe it'd be safer if you did." Blue suggests. Kiara crouches down and Blue sneaks behind her to get read to jump off the boat. "Go, go, go, go." JJ whispers and the three dive into the water and swim to the HMS POGUE, leaving Sarah under the floor board and Kiara in the cockpit. Pope helps Blue up and the two boys climb up on their own. Kiara and Sarah y'all at the group for leaving them stranded alone. "I will kill every single one of you!" Kiara shouts. "Hey, I told them this was a bad idea!" Blue shouts back as she sits down on the bow. "There's food in the cabin, and JJ rolled a blunt." Pope shouts at the two angry girls. Pope drives off in the boat just as Sarah Cameron jumps in to swim after them.
"JB, you've done it this time, now they're both going to hate you for sure." Blue chuckles, it's just her and John B sitting on his front porch, JJ had to go make some finishing touches for their date. "Really? I think it'll be good for them." He shrugs. "I'm sad you're not my neighbour anymore, I wish my mom would've adopted you." Blue says out of no where and not making eye contact, she stares off into the ocean. "Yeah, me too. But hey, at least i'm not over on the mainland." He responds shrugging his shoulders. He look at Blue's sad face and wraps his arm around Blue's small frame giving a light squeeze. "Dont worry, B. I'll still be around, you can't get rid of me that easy. B and Double J always." John B tries to reassure her, he puts out a fist waiting for her to finish the fist bump. "Always, you promise?" Blue questions looking directly in his eyes. "I promise." And with that the two fist bump, right in time for JJ to run back up on to the porch. "Everything's set. M'lady." JJ bows in front of Blue with his hand out, she puts her hand in his and stands up. "No funny business you too and bring her home by midnight." John B says impersonating a strict father. Blue and JJ laugh as the start to walk to the boat. "I'm not making any promises!" JJ shouts
The HMS POGUE is lined with blankets and candles ready to be lit when night falls. Blue steps on to the boat and is mesmerized at what this boy has done for her. "God, you hate it." JJ sighs dropping his head in disappointment. Blue puts her hand underneath her chin and tilts his head up. "I love it and I love you." she says and lightly kisses his lips. JJ starts the boat and begins driving off with Blue by his side. She stands next to him watching as he concentrates on the open ocean and fells complete joy. Only she knows that underneath his bad boy exterior is just a sweet and sensitive boy, that adores this cheesy, right out of a rom-com stuff.
"Alright so, I've got all your favourites. Chicken strips, mangoes, apple juice, those little candies you like and of course the booze and finally the ultimate Blue favourite, a cheese and cracker board." JJ says uncovering each item, the two sit on the bow of the boat on the blankets. "Charcuterie board." Blue corrects him. "Yeah à Char-whatever board." JJ says. "Thank you, this is perfect. Y'know what? it kinda reminds me of Tangled, when they let up the floating lanterns in the canoe." Blue smiles comparing the movie to her real life. "Exactly what i was going for, I even got-" "You didn't!" Blue cuts him off as he pulls out two lanterns from a bag. "I did. Aren't I just the best?" He says cockily. The two sit and eat the food JJ packed, laughing and talking about whatever comes to mind.
Blue holds a lantern in her hands as JJ lights it with his lighter. She waits to let it for as he lights his own. "Ready?" JJ asks grinning. "One, two, three." Blue counts slowly and they push up the lanterns into the darkening night sky. The floating flights dance around each other in the wind and fly up into the sky until neither can be seen anymore. "Have I ever told you I love you?" Blue asks grinning. "Yes, but you can tell me again." JJ smirks pulling her in close. "I cannot believe you did this for me, this night is perfect." She says honestly. "Baby, I would do anything for you, like literally anything, I would go to the ends of this earth to make you happy."
