3rd person POV

John B woke up after sleeping through the storm. He grabs his phone and turns it on only to see there is no service. He gets up and walks out of his room, and tries to turn on the lights. Nothing. The power lines are all down. He walks out in the living room and notices Janeen lying on top of JJ, cuddling into him. Though he doesn't like the idea of JJ and his sister together, he takes a picture for blackmail later on. Jeanie was the reason John B made the "no pouge on pouge macking rule". He didn't want anyone to ruin the friendship between each other.

JJ is on his back, and Jeanie is lying on top of him. "Yo, JJ, Jeanie, you guys been outside?" John B questions walking up to the screen door.

"I have polio bro, I can't walk," JJ responds, trying to fit in a few more minutes of sleep.

"I can walk, but JJ is just too comfortable to get off," Jeanie replies in her cheery morning voice, giving out a small giggle before going back to sleep.'

JJ turns his head to peek at her pretending to sleep before he flips them over. He is now on top of her and starts to tickle her to wake her up.

"JJ...stop...stop," she breaths out as she laughs her ass off. If anyone were best friends with Jeanie, they would know how ticklish she is.

JJ smirked and got off of her before going to the kitchen area and grabbing a beer. Jeanie gets up and throws on JJ's shirt from the floor and her flip-flops. She then holds her vape and goes outside right after JJ. 

John B is surveying the yard, "Oh no, that is not good. Not good at all." He's pulling all the large branches and twigs into a large pile while Jeanie and JJ stand on the porch.

"Agatha did some work, huh?" JJ asked as he took a sip of his beer.

"Now we're gonna have to clean it all up," Jeanie complains as she takes a hit of her vape, the thick smoke coming from her nose and mouth.

"Watcha thinking John B?" JJ asks, taking another sip of his beer.

"I'm thinkin' that storm surge pushed all the crabs out on the marsh maze. All those drum are going to chase the crab," He answers, cleaning out the HMS Pouge. JJ and Jeanie are doing nothing to help.

"What about the DCS, wasn't that today," JJ questions, taking another sip of his beer.

Jeanie rolls her eyes at the thought of the DCS before explaining, "Yeah, but they're not getting on a ferry after that storm." 

Janeen walks over to help her brother clean up the boat before putting it in the water. "Think about it, JJ. It's God telling us to fish," John B says, jumping into the boat. Janeen and JJ follow, Jeanie laughing her ass off for no reason, probably already high.

"Come on, boys, let's go pick up the gang," She giggles while pointing towards the main docks.

The boat is slowly traveling through the water, passing by everyone's docks that need to be cleaned. Jeanie whistles while looking at the ports. "I sure hope Guffy's boat didn't sink," JJ exclaims while wrapping an arm around Janeen's shoulders.

Jeanie nods her head in agreement, "He doesn't have insurance."

They pass by Ms. Amy's dock, where they say quick hellos and travel farther down the pass. "She looked at me," JJ mentioned looking over his shoulder back to Mr. Amy's dock.

"Yeah, I saw it," John B agrees, while Jeanie shakes her head.

"JJ, she's like 15 years older than you," She lectured, taking a hit from her vape. JJ laughs and sits down next to her, putting his arms around her. She snuggles into his chest, breathing in his scent, weed, saltwater, and cheap cologne, her favorite. 

"Don't worry, JC. I could never replace you," JJ claimed, bringing a smile onto Jeanie's face.

John B turns around for a second to glance at them before clearing his throat to get their attention, "JJ," He starts, slightly glaring with a smirk on his face.

"Hands off the little sister," He called out, making Jeanie groan.  JJ smirks, knowing that John B is partially playing with him. He gets up and looks over at the pier instead.

"Dude, look at this place," JJ states, looking at the mess in the water and on the shore.

"Agatha is one crazy lady." Jeanie stands up and goes to the front of the boat, looking out ahead of her for Pope's dock. 

"We'll be cleaning this all summer,"  John B says, making JJ and Janeen groan. 

"This is my worst nightmare," They all agree with JJ before pulling up right next to Pope's dock.

"Look who we have here," Jeanie noted as they pulled up to the dock.

Making his voice sound staticky, like a walkie-talkie, John B says, "We have a safety meeting...Attendance mandatory." the causes Jeanie to laugh.

"I can't guys, pop's got me on lockdown," Pope explains, with sad eyes

JJ mimics John B's staticky voice before replying, "Your dad's a pussy, over."

"Oh, I heard that you little bastard," Hayward yells at JJ, making Jeanie laugh at him.

"Hey, Mr. Heyward, we need your son today," Jeanie calls out, hoping to get Pope out of whatever chores he has to do.

"Yeah, and Island rules, day after a hurricane is a free day," JJ states, trying to find an excuse for Pope.

"Who the hell made that up?" Heyward is having none of JJ's bullshit.

"Um, pentagon, I think. We have security clearance. Jeanie has a card," he says, sticking his hand into JC's back pocket, who pops him on the back of the head.

"You think I'm stupid?" Heyward asks, getting annoyed with JJ.

Pope drops the hose, "I promise I'll do it tomorrow," He says, starting to walk towards the boat. 

"Oh hell no, you doin' it right now," Heyward yells at his son.

"Get in the boat," Janeen and John b whisper.

"Make a run for it," JJ adds. Pope quickly runs from the dock and into the boat making the friends cheer.

"How does it feel," JJ asks, a sense of pride washing over him after getting his friend to come along with them

"Go, go, go," Jeanie says to John B so Pope can't get in more trouble than he already is. 

John B starts driving the boat further down the pass before Heyward calls out, "You gonna clean shrimp, clean fish. And You'll clean your dirty-ass room!"

"We'll bring him back in one piece," Janeen yells back.

"And I don't like your friends," He said, making Jeanie pout.

"We love you too, Mr. Heyward," Jeanie shouts at the dock.

They travel a bit further till they get to Kie's dock, next to her parent's restaurant. She was waiting on the pier, cooler in hand.

"Top of the mornin' to ya," JJ greets in an awful accent as Kiara gets on the boat. The rest of the group greets her with a string of good mornings.

"Kiara, my wife!" Jeanie yells out, going to hug her and kiss her cheek. "What did you bring?"

"Oh, ya know, just some carrot sticks and apple slices."

"What about my kind of juice box," JJ questions going to look through the cooler. 

They all grab beers and click them together, "Skoal," they all said, and Pope continued to drive the boat. Some cheering, laughing, and yelling came from the friends as they made their way through the marsh.

Jeanie suddenly calls out, "JJ and I have a party trick."

She pulls JJ to the bow, and they stand on the edge. "Pope, go a little faster," JJ calls out.

"Oh lord, I'm moving. We've tried this like 6,000 times, it doesn't work," John B explains.

"Don't worry, big brother; it'll work this time."

Pope speeds the boat up, and JJ and Janeen hold the bottles to their faces, hoping the wind will get the beer in their mouths. Instead, Kie yells, "You're getting beer in my hair!"

"All right, you're done; that's enough," the friends say to JJ and Jeanie. They keep going until the boat suddenly stops flipping them off the edge and into the water while John, Kie, and Pope yell out to them.

"Hey Jeanie, JJ, you guys okay," John calls out to them.

"I think JJ kicked me in the back," Jeanie groans.

"I think my heels touch the back of my head," JJ groans louder.

"Pope, what the hell did you do?" Jeanie asks, getting ready to climb back into the Pouge.

"Sandbar, the channel changed."

"Yeah, well, no shit," JJ points out.

"This is probably going to mess this whole place up," Jeanie says.

"I saved the beer, though!"

"Congrats JJ."

"Hey guys, I think there's a boat down there," Pope calls out nervously.

"Shut up."

"What?"

"No way!"

"You're kidding!"

"No, guys, I'm serious. There's a boat down there."

Jeanie swims over to Pope's line of vision, "Holy shit guys, there's a boat down there; Pope is right."

"Shit, he's right, let's go," JJ says, ready to swim deeper into the water.

"You think there's a dead body down there?"

"Oh, come on, Pope, don't be gross, get your ass in here," Jeanie exclaims.

The friends dive deep into the water, looking at the boat. It's white and looks like it hasn't been under very long. A realization comes to Jeanie, and she recognizes the ship. She's running out of air, so she swims back up after the rest of her friends. 

"You guys saw that, right," Jeanie questions when her head breaks the surface. They all get back into the boat, laughing with each other.

"I did."

"Definitely saw that."

"That was a Grady white; one of those is like 500 Gs, easy. That's a primo rig," JJ says, and Jeanie lightly smiles at JJ's love and knowledge for boats.

"Yeah, that's the boat John B and I saw when we surfed the surge," Jeanie points out, her recognition for the boat finally coming together.

"That's my girl, pouge style," JJ says, lifting Jeanie off the ground and twirling her. Her cheeks are coated in blush, and her heart is beating rapidly. JJ wouldn't understand, but she's in love with him; she has been since 6th grade. Just being called his girl brought butterflies to Jeanie's stomach that made her feel like a little kid. She always knew that to JJ; she would always be John B's little sister.

"Do we know whose boat it is," Pope speaks up, pulling Jeanie from her thoughts.

"Nope, but we're about to find out," John B replies, getting ready to jump back in.

"Dude, it's too deep."

"Only, for the weak and feeble JJ."

"Okay, well, I'm not resurrecting you, just stating that upfront."

"That's fine."

"Please be careful, John," Jeanie says, not too worried about her brother; he knows how to swim.

"Don't worry, Bean; I'll come back," He responds dramatically. Both Jeanie and John are theatrical people, so though Jeanie is not too worried about her brother getting hurt, she still needs to play the part.

"John B," Kiara calls out softly, and Jeanie turns to look at her.

"What."

They look at each other, holding some sort of longing stare, and to break the awkwardness starting to form, Pope steps in, "Diver down, fool."

"Yeah, he is," JJ says, and he and Jeanie push John B into the water.

They sit on the boat for a while waiting for John B, and that's when Jeanie feels it's right to strike up a conversation with Kie, "So, do you like my brother."

Kie looks at her weirdly, "Why would you say that?"

"Because of the way you've been looking at him, you seem really worried about him."

"Why wouldn't I be? I'm his friend; I'm surprised your not more worried than I am."

"I am worried; I just know that the water is JB's natural habitat. There is nothing bad I should be worried about."

"Do you like JJ?" Kiara questions making Jeanie choke on air.

"What, pshhh, no, I don't." 

"You totally do!" Kie exclaims, making Jeanie blush.

"Well, I'm going to see if John B is back yet," She tries to avoid the subject. Kie pulls at her arm. 

"Or you're just trying to spend more time with JJ."

Jeanie smiles wide and walks to the other side of the boat, where JJ and Pope are standing. JJ wraps an arm around her waist and kisses the top of her head. "Hey, princess."

"Hey, do you think we should get him yet," She asks, but John reaches the surface just in time. They race to help him on the boat.

"Oh god, that took forever, any dead bodies," Pope asks.

"Or looting potential," JJ and Jeanie question together

"No, but I found this motel key."

"Oh great, John B just wonderful, a motel key," Jeanie exclaims, exasperated.

"Guys, we should report the wreck to the coast guard," Kie points out

"Maybe we'll get a finder's fee," Jeanie agrees.

"And not have to work all summer. Thanks, Agatha, ya batch," JJ calls out and drives the boat to the coast guard. Everything is alright.
