I woke up the next morning with a text from Pope. 

New Message From: Pope
JJ and John B conked out in the marsh. Need to tow them. Code Red. Meet in 30.

I looked at the text oddly. "Why would they need me for that?" I asked myself as I got up and got myself ready. I showered and wore a baby blue bikini, black denim shorts, baby blue converse, and a small white backpack.

I grabbed my keys and headed over to the dock. First, I picked up Kie so she wouldn't have to walk there. We soon arrived, got out of the car, and rushed to the boat. "Code Red," Pope said as he was untying the boat from the dock.

"What the hell is going on?" Kie asked him. "JJ and John B conked out in the marsh. They need a tow." Pope said. Kie and I looked at each other with odd looks. "Uh, okay well, what does that have to do with us?" I asked Pope.

He looked at us nervously before answering. "We need you two for mechanical," Pope said. "Mechanical," Kiara said as she nodded her head with a scoff. "I know cars, not boats," I said to him.

Pope shrugged. "That might be useful." He said. "If there's a car on the boat," I muttered and soon we were on our way to the marsh.

"Can't you guys do anything without me?" Kie asked Pope as we approached John B and JJ on Heyward's boat. Kie and I hopped onto the boat and saw JJ and John B trying to fix the boat. "What happened?" Kie asked the boys.

JJ looked up at us as he responded. "Uh, the alternator's, uh, not alternating anymore," JJ said. "It's not charged." John B added. "Did you check the plugs?" Kie asked. 

"No. No, you should check 'em." JJ said to Kie. The two boys stood up as they handed Kie some tools. "Give it a whirl," JJ said to her as they both left the room. "You guys are useless," Kie said. "Sorry about that." John B said. 

I backed out of the room to let Kie work. "Please don't hate me," JJ begged me. "Why would I hate you?" I asked with a concerned look. "Come on!" John B whispered. "Go, go, go!" JJ said as they both jumped off the boat and swam to the boat Pope was on, the HMS Pogue. 

"There are no plugs, like, at all," Kie said. "Uh... Kie, they're leaving." I said to her. She stood up and came outside to the boys swimming away. "John B, let me out!" Kie and I heard Sarah say from underneath the boat. 

It soon made sense. They were stranding us so Kie and Sarah could make up with each other. I picked up the door and saw Sarah. She looked at me with relief but when she saw Kie she jumped out. "What? Wait." She said. 

"What the hell?" Kie asked. "Are you joking?" Kie asked as they watched the boys hop onto the other boat. "Get your asses back here!" Kie shouted at them. "We can't. Not till you two figure it out." John B said. 

"Keywords: you two! Why am I stuck here?" I asked them. "Peacemaker, Scar! You're Switzerland!" JJ said with a smile. I rolled my eyes and flipped him off. "I will kill every single one of you!" Kie shouted.

"You can't just leave!" Sarah shouted. "There's food in the cabin, a bottle in the fridge, and JJ rolled a blunt!" Pope shouted and held up two thumbs. JJ made an "okay" hand sign, "Hydroponic!" JJ shouted as they began to drive away. 

Sarah took off her shoes, "This is ridiculous!" Sarah said as she took off her clothes. "Well, I'd rather drown than stay here with you, so..." Kie said. "Fine, be my guest. Maybe you'll finally shut the hell up." Sarah said. 

"You don't even know where you're going!" Kie said to her as she took off her shirt and shorts. I shook my head. "JJ, I swear to God, if you leave me here with these two..." I said to him. "Sorry, sweets!" JJ said as he made a hand heart.
