"This is such a stupid plan," Gina muttered as she heard Kie jump on the boat

"This is such a stupid plan," Gina muttered as she heard Kie jump on the boat.

"What happened?" Kie asked while JJ, John B, and her pretended to be fixing the boat. Kie sounded annoyed, but she was about to get a lot more annoyed because of John B's plan.

"Uh, the alternator's uh, not alternating anymore," JJ told her.

"It's not charged," John B added.

"Did you check the plugs?" Kie asked.

"No," JJ shook his head. "No, you should check 'em."

"Yeah, we couldn't figure it out," Gina said, trying to look helpless.

"You three are useless," Kie rolled her eyes.

"We know," Gina nodded as they started to back out of the room and then jumped off the boat into the water below.

"Guys!" Kie yelled, realizing what was going on.

"Are you serious?" Sarah Cameron yelled.

"Get you asses back here!" Kie yelled as JJ helped Gina on to the boat Pope was driving.

"We can't," John B called back. "Not until you two figure it out."

"I will kill every single one of you!" Kie screamed. "Even you Gina!"

"For the record, this wasn't my idea," she shouted, knowing she didn't want to be on the receiving end of Kie's anger. "But I got John B to say he was the bigger shit head in writing so..."

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

Pope rolled his eyes. "There's food in the cabin and JJ rolled a blunt."

"Hydroponic!" JJ called to the two girls while Pope started up our boat.

"I love you Kie!" Gina called with a smile as the other two girls stripped down to their bathing suits to try and swim after the retreating boat.

"Fuck you!" she yelled back as the boat got further away.

"Wait!" Sarah screamed, trying her best to swim after us. "John B, you asshole!"

Gina laughed, "Hey, JB it looks like your new girlfriend's mad at you. Trouble in paradise already?" John B just glared at her as she turned to wave to the girls again. "Love you guys! Bye!"

Later that night JJ and Gina lay in her bed, his arms wrapped tightly around her. "Do you think leaving them there was a good idea?"

"Probably not," JJ shrugged as he kissed her forehead. "But it was John B's stupid idea, so if something goes wrong he has to take all the blame."

Gina chuckled. "Yeah, but what if we go to get them tomorrow and they both killed each other?"

"Well, I don't think Sarah Cameron is capable of murder, but Kie... maybe. So look on the bright side, at least Kie wouldn't be dead," he said, like it was a really helpful, cheerful idea.

"J, I'm, like, seriously worried about them."

He propped himself up on his elbow and kissed her forehead. "You're adorable."

She rolled her eyes as he began peppering her face with kisses. When his lip's finally met hers, he pulled her on top of him. Her dark waves formed a curtain around their faces, JJ's hands getting lost in it and occasionally tugging on it just to hear her intake of breath. Gina's hands roamed under his shirt, taking in his abs. She loved everything about him. Not just his body (even though that was pretty great) but the way he made her feel, the small gestures that made her day. She wasn't sure what would happen next with their hunt for the Merchant's gold, but she knew she loved this boy eternally.

"Uh-oh!" Pope called as the boys and Gina pulled closer to the boat Sarah and Kie were on. Neither of them looked dead. So, so far so good. "You forget your keys or something?"

"You need a tow?" John B mocked. "You gotta admit it was kind of funny."

"John B," Kie glared.

"Ah, what's that?" John B asked, sounding nervous.

"Mastermind, huh?" Kie asked, clearly being sarcastic.

"I'm always plannin'," John B smiled.

"That's was some patriarchal bullshit," Kie muttered.

"Yeah, that sucked," Sarah Cameron rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, pouting like a little kid.

"You still love us though, right?" JJ asked flirtatiously and making Gina roll her dark eyes.

"You, no," Kie glared JJ. "Gigi, always."

Gina grinned at her best friend. "Yay!"

"Yeah, well whatever," Sarah said, still glaring at John B.

"Hey, you still hate me?" he asked, giving her his puppy dog eyes.

"A little," she spat. "We're both gonna get you back when you least expect it."

"We'll spare Gina, cause we love her, but you better watch your back, boys," Kie threatened.

"Well, I for one, welcome that challenge," Pope said, trying to sound tough and like he wasn't afraid of Kie's wrath.

"Me too," JJ added with a smirk.

"So did you guys, you know..." Pope tried to come up with the right word.

"Reconcile our differences?" Kie supplied. Sarah shook her head. "Not even close."

"But," Sarah added. "We're willing to work together."

"You know what?" John B asked, a smile spreading across his tan features. "That's a victory."

"Wiggedy-wiggedy-wiggedy!" Pope exclaimed, making everyone laugh.

"Alright, shut up," John B said to his friends before turning back to Kie and Sarah. "You ready to jack someone up?"
