The Cross Road

(A/N: .... eeeeeeeeeeee, also i bought even more JJ stickers the other day im so excited.)

John B strolled up the beach in Charleston. Y/N and Sarah sat on the boat, Y/N chucked John B the anchor. He chucked it down, a sharp spike pierced the sand as John B kicked it in. He then jogged over to help Sarah and Y/N down from the boat.Y/N felt bad. Like really bad. Like 'every step made her want to cry' bad. "Okay ready?" John B asked Y/N as he scooped her up, Y/N nodded, and he slowly brought her down from the boat. Feeling the ground on her feet made her whimper. Y/N reached up behind her as John B carried her down, grabbing two red empty jerry cans along the way."Here." She handed them to him."Thanks," John B took the cans and smiled at her, "Okay so here's the plan. We're gonna get some gas, find a phone, and get out of here. Okay?"Y/N nodded quietly, limping behind them."How are we gunna pay for the gas?" Sarah asked, revealing a hole in the plan. A rather obvious one."Don't worry about it. We'll figure it out." He quickly replied.Y/N chuckled."What?" John B turned to look at her."Steal some gas then?" She asked, half smiling half wincing."...Yeah."

Kie, Pope and JJ were driving along the big, rich seaside houses in Charleston. Their beaten up, but working, truck stood out from the surroundings. "They're fancy people." Kie told the group, "They've had three governors in the family. They've run Charleston for like 300 years.JJ piped up, "These Kooks make our Kooks look like Pogues."The truck slowly came to a stop next to a big, three story house. It had two balconies and a terrace on one side, and then a smaller balcony on the second floor, facing the front. It was an off-white colour with a white accents and a black roof. Short brick chimneys poked out from the roof top. The house was quite beautiful with it's old architecture. "You sure this is the place Pope?" JJ asked, looking at the house outside of the window.Pope lent forwards slightly to look, "Yeah. Pretty sure.""All right." Nodded JJ, opening up the door and climbing out. Kie jumped out after him. Pope got out of the door his side. He was still thinking about what Kie did last night..."Fat city for sure." JJ commented.The three of them walked up to a big black-iron gate with a matching fence running around the house's property to keep out intruders.Pope held up the letter, "Twenty-seven king street."JJ brushed his hand on the fence, "Talk about home security." He looked to the top of the fence, seeing big menacing spikes on a line of barbed wire, stretching around the fence. It was practically unclimbable. "Those spikes to keep people out?" he asked."No." Kie said sadly."Slave quarters are over there." Pointed Pope. He sighed, "Those spikes were to keep people in."

Sarah, John B and Y/N walked along the boardwalk. Y/N's body was craving food. She eyed someone's sandwich hungrily. Sarah and John B did the same."That looks so good.." John B's stomach rumbled."I'm starving." Sarah agreed.They passed the eating man slowly, staring at his food.They looked up from the boardwalk and saw a restaurant up ahead."We gotta get some food." John B said, "Follow my lead."Y/N put a hand on John B's shoulder to steady herself, my wound was crying out with every movement. She held him tightly and stood for a second, trying to catch her breath up the stairs."Okay.. okay yeah."Indistinct chattering filled the air.Y/N hung back with Sarah. She held Y/N's arm to try and help her walk. John B speed walked ahead on them and bumped into a waiter. He threw water all over a man sitting at the table. Glass shattered as the glasses hit the floor. His table gasped."Oh my god.." John B asked.Sarah gasped and Y/N's eyes widened."Sir are you okay?" Y/N asked, looking worried.He looked furious. "You idiot!""I am so sorry!" The waiter assured him."Oh my god.. Your shoes." Sarah fussed.The man took his jacket off and shook it out. "This is a 1,700 jacket!" He hissed."If you didn't want to get it wet sir, maybe don't wear it at the beach." Y/N glared, she didn't like how he spoke to John B. "Y/N..." Sarah put her arm out in front of her."It was.. 100% on me sir, I bumped into him."Y/N and Sarah were with the two women at the table, "Is there anything I can do?" She said, as they got a bit wet too. When doing that she stole something, and slipped it into her pocket. Y/N did the same."I'm really sorry sir.. I wish I could help you-" John B began."You saying you gunna pay for this?" The man argued with him."I can't sir I'm broke. I don't have any money."The man looked him up and down, "Of course you don't. Pathetic!"The server rushed in, "Let me talk to a manager okay?"John B looked down, trying to hold his tongue. The richer man liked this. He felt powerful."I'm sorry..." John B uttered. Sarah walked over to him, holding a hobbling Y/N, and began to walk away."There was no need for name calling. Sir." Sarah said to him."Did you get it?" John B asked when they were out of earshot."Get what?" Sarah asked him.Y/N pulled some bread out of her pocket."What Y/N no I mea-"Sarah pulled out a wad of cash."OH!" Y/N chuckled, then whimpered. Looking at her bread and waving it around before staring to eat it. John B and Sarah knew she needed the food more than they did."Oh my god..." John B sighed in relief. He was thinking for a second that they caused all that commotion for nothing.Sarah still had one arm with Y/N on, and she reached her spare one around John B. "I'll be sugar mumma." she chuckled mischievously."I was hoping you'd say that." Smiled John B.

Pope knocked on the big wooden door. The ring in the lion's mouth bashed loudly. It has a small groove in the door due to use, and it fit perfectly."You think that was too much?" Pope asked quietly.JJ grinned, "You shook the whole house that's for sure. So they definitely heard it.""Maybe no one's home. We are really late." Kie offered.Pope reached forwards to knock again. As more echos rung out from the knocker, the door opened up inwards, making Pope almost fall inside.It was Aiden, leaning on the door frame. "Hey guys. Can I help you?" He had a new scar on his lip, and a piercing in his eyebrow. "AIDEN!?" JJ tried to jump forwards but Kie grabbed him. "Hey hey no no JJ.." She whispered in his ear. "I hate Aiden Westin too but we need this evidence JJ."JJ knew she was right. He fixed his cap and sighed. "Okay..""JJ... How's Y/N? As beautiful as ever? I did some nice work on her huh." He pointed at his stomach.JJ lunged again but Kie held his tighter, "JJ...""Pope." Aiden looked over at him. "You're late.""Um.. you're not Mr Limbrey right?" Pope asked, his eyes narrow."MS LIMBREY, was expecting you yesterday.""Our car.. it broke down on the way here." Pope replied quietly."Carburetor blew up in the middle of nowheresvil." JJ said quickly.Aiden turned slowly, and glared at him. "Sorry about that..." JJ mumbled."Yeah she was uh... real upset. When you didn't show.""We tried to call but there was no number so." Kie added. "We got here as fast as we could."JJ cleared his throat to try and break the awkwardness."She also expected you... to come alone." Aiden growled."I mean.. but we all found the royal merchant together so..." Pope looked to his friends."The instructions were explicit your friends can wait outside."JJ walked forwards, "We're kind of a package deal.""JJ." Pope stopped him. "It's okay. I got this. I'll be good." He nodded. Kie reached down andheld his hand. "Be so careful."Pope smiled at her, and followed Aiden inside. Just before the door closed, he growled "Keep the car runnin-" Then the door bashed shut.

Pope walked through the grand entrance hall, following Aiden into a tall long room with a crystal chandelier. Full of tables littered with paper, pictures and globes. The walls painted in a Victorian fashion, covered in old paintings."Wait in here." Aiden said, walking off. "Ms Limbrey will be right with you." He flicked his brown hair out of his face, showing his glowering green eyes.Pope fiddled with the letter in his hands, wandering around the room, exploring.He stared into a renascence like painting of Jesus and his disciples' sitting on an easel, it was unsettling.He moved on, to a mantle, seeing some burnt down candles and more pictures. The painting mounted behind it also depicted religion. This one was Jesus, curing the blind. Pope walked to the side, looking into a built-in bookshelf. The four first books he saw were, "Divine miracles", "Divine healing", "faith and miracles", and "Whyte's history of the turf."He was about to bring one of the books out, when he heard some clunking footsteps. A blonde woman appeared, hobbling over with her crutches. "Mr Heyward." she greeted him."I'm Carla Limbrey." Her voice was soft, but not soothing."Uh, Pope." He introduced himself. "People call me Pope."Ms Limbrey wandered over slowly, sitting down slowly in a chair. "Have a seat." She gestured to the seat opposite her."Thank you so much for this, it means a lot to me." Pope said quietly.Ms Limbrey propped her crutches up between her legs. "Can I offer you something?" She pointed to a tray with a tea set sitting on top. "I'm okay thank you." Pope replied, ever polite."Well, you look thirsty." She poured them both a cup anyway. Carla held the cup out to him, her hand shaking. Pope took it to be polite, but had no intention of drinking it. "I think, a toast is in order." She suggested. "To finding the unfindable." and she took a sip. "Against all odds, you and your friends managed to beat everyone to the royal merchant. Including me. Lord knows I tried. I also know that you've since lost the gold to Ward Cameron."That bit stung. "How do you know that." Pope asked her, leaning forwards slightly."Ward Cameron and I have a long.. tortured history. I funded his first development project-""But he wouldn't tell you-" Pope began, cutting her off."But he didn't need to. Ward and I were partners in the search for the Royal Merchant. I'm afraid that Big John Routledge was not the only one Ward double crossed." She gave him a smile. A fake smile."Okay.." Pope commented, putting his cup down. He inhaled, "What else do you know?""I know that Rafe Cameron killed Peterkin. I have proof of it." She hissed silkily."So you can clear John B's name.""Easily. At any time." She brought out a tape recorder, gently placing it on the table next to her. Pope was beginning to notice how she did everything with poise, grace and care. Ms Limbrey pressed play, it was Gavin's voice. "-of the gun. He's protecting his son. It was Rafe Cameron who killed Peterkin.""Gavin..." Pope breathed.Carla paused the tape. "I know exactly what happened on that tarmac.""So you have the evidence and you know he's innocent.. Why don't you just go clear his name it's the right thing to do.""My friend..." Ms Limbrey said in her silky, unsettling voice, "The Limbrey's did not maintain their position in the Lowcountry for these past 300 years by giving away something of value for free. Yes, I can exonerate your friend, but first. There is something I want. It's a little thing, really. I think you know what it is." Pope shook his head slightly and pierced his lips. "I want the key.""A key..?" Pope's heart dropped. He didn't have a key.Limbrey scoffed."Like the truck keys? I have house keys sorry I don't know - - A key?""I'm afraid our relationship won't be very productive if we aren't honest with each other." Limbrey replied in her high voice.Pope looked worried."Denmark's key.""As in Denmark Tanny?""Yes.""Ms Limbrey I'm sorry but I have no idea what you're talking about. But for my friend I'll- I'll go find it. I'll do what I need to do. I'll go find one if you need it. But I don't know what you're talking about but I will go find it."Carla got her crutches and began standing up. "Come now."She took him to one of the paper-covered tables, and pulled out a sheet of printed paper. "Do you recognize this?" She asked him. It was in black and white. A pretty pattern and in the foreground, a key. Pope stared at it."Ring any bells?" She asked again."No. I'm sorry it doesn't." He handed it back to her."Hmm... You can keep that." She let him hold onto the paper. Chuckling tearfully. Her hopes had been crushed.She turned and walked away.Aiden appeared behind Pope again. His fluffy hair pushed aside in dark curtains. His green eyes looked angry. Despite his smile.Ms Limbrey stopped, "Come with me. I'd like to show you something. I think.. I think you'll find it interesting."Pope turned to see Aiden, looming behind him. He didn't have a choice but to follow her.

"Look," Kie said to JJ from the passenger seat, "If Limbrey is legit, then Ward get's arrested and maybe Sarah get's the gold."They looked out of Kie's window to see Pope being led along roughly by Aiden. Following behind a blonde, frail looking woman on crutches. "Does that look voluntary?" Kie asked, suspicious.Pope looked back at his friends, but Aiden pushed him, forcing him to turn his head, "Keep walking.""That would be a negative." JJ answered."Come on." Kie went to leave.JJ held her shoulder, "Hold on Hold on Hold on.""What?""They're going into the alley."Kie realized what he was saying. "Go around back?""Go around yeah yeah, we'll meet them around the other side." JJ started the truck up and drove off around the block."Hey be chill, be chill." Kie advised him. She didn't want to arouse suspicion. "Yeah sure."

Mrs Limbrey was walking down the overgrown alley. Plants sprouted from all around them- Trees, Ferns, even old lamp posts. It's beauty didn't take away from an unsettling feeling Pope had. "All of this... All the way down to the Ashley River was owned by my family. The Limbrey's have lived in this house since it was built 280 years ago." They passed an old square building on the left."That's where the slaves were kept." She commented nonchalantly, "Thank goodness we've made progress since then.""Yeah. Thank goodness." Pope murmered.

Kie was staring out of her window into the Limbrey's land, "Where did they go?""What if they went underground?" JJ offered, he was driving with one hand and using the other to emphasise. "Because in C.H.U.D when they took people down into the sewers, it would turn the human's into humanoids because of radiation, and then all of a sudden--""JJ please focus that doesn't make any sense." Kie cut him off."Right sorry." JJ put both hands back on the wheel. "Did you see him?""No."

"All right." John B put down two jerry cans to fill up. "How many hotdogs we want?"Y/N leant on the pump and sighed, "What no steak? Lobster?" she smiled and winced, allowing the pressure to release from her feet.Sarah handed the cash to John B, "Like fifty.""Fifty hot dogs?""Or one hundred. I don't care." she chuckled."Right-o." John B said, walking inside.Sarah looked over at Y/N, she was covering her eyes as she lent on the pump. Sarah put a hand on her shoulder. "You ok?"Y/N brought her head up, revealing her red eyes. "Not really." She sniffed. "I feel like dying.""Oh Y/N..." Sarah hugged her friend gently. "Once we're home and my dad has told the truth we can get you some real painkillers."Y/N sighed... "If you say so S." she sniffed and pulled out a pump, "here let's fill these up."The pair of them started to fill up the jerry cans- but Sarah heard someone coming over. "Shit." It was the people from earlier. The ones the had robbed."What? Oh fuu...." Y/N noticed them too. She winced as they put the fuel taps back. "You get John B." Y/N told her as she screwed the cap on the cans, sliding out of sight.Just as Sarah went to get John B- he came out on his own."They ran out of the real deal. They're vegan." John B said with his mouthful. "Sh!" Sarah hissed, also in hiding with Y/N. Y/N pointed over at the couple. "He's right there dude!" Y/N dragged John B down, biting her lip to stop from crying out in pain."Hey!" The man narrowed his eyes, "You! Come here!"Y/N snatched a jerry can, John B grabbed another and the three of them stood up. "Thieves! You stole my money" He shouted at them. John B handed the hotdogs around and they began to run off while biting their hotdogs.Y/N whimpered as she ran, shutting her eyes to try and block out the searing pain in her hip. "GAHH!" She cried out.

Limbrey had taken Pope to the edge of the woods, under a big tree was a unkept graveyard. "Here lies Denmark Tanny. The famous ex-slave." She brushed the words on the overgrown gravestone. "You know the story.""Wait.. what story?""Denmark Tanny was a freedman. A wealthy planter. He was able to buy the freedom of all three of his sons. But, when he tried to buy his wife and daughters freedom, my paternal ancestors refused. When his wife, Cecilia, tried to run with the baby. They set the hounds on her."A bell rung out in the distance. Mourning for the dead woman."Cecilia drowned, trying to escape the baby survived.. and Denmark was hung." The bell in the distance still ringing out loudly."Allegedly for abetting a slave revolt but really... for gathering the remains of his wife. You've never heard this story?""No." Pope said quietly. "and I think once is enough." He began to walk away."Hey!" Ms Limbrey jumped on her crutches to face him. Aiden jumped to attention.Ms Limbrey got very close to Pope's face. "You think I'm stupid?""No. no, no I don't." he backed up against the wall."Why else would the Routledge boy involve you." She sneered. "Your family has the key.""I don't know what you're talking about.""Hey. Did Ward get to you?"Pope looked scared, "No. Ward Cameron are you crazy?""The key leads to the cross the cross of Santo Domingo 'the real treasure lies at the foot of the angel'." She spoke quickly. "Denmark's last words.. Ring any bells?" She smiled."No it doesn't it doesn't ring any bells no." Pope slipped out of the grave and backed up even more. "Uh thank you but I- I- I'm going back to the 21st century now." He adjusted his shirt and walked off quickly.Aiden picked up Ms Limbrey's jacket and laid it over her shoulders."We'll trade with his father. His son for the key."Aiden smiled. He was waiting for the go ahead.

He walked quickly after Pope, not wanting to alert him."Crazy people." Pope whispered and started to run. He reached a tall gate- locked. Aiden turned the corner behind him, and quickly walked over.Pope ran back down the path to find another exit, almost running into Aiden. He stutted to a halt and jumped backwards. "What you got!?" Pope threatened.Aiden pulled out a small black box, and flicked it on. Bolts of electricity zapped between the two top points.He ran at Pope, but Pope hit his arm and knocked it away. He bought just enough time to run towards the wall and try to jump it, but Aiden grabbed him and pushed him roughly against the wall, punching him in the ribs. He threw Pope back onto the path where he landed roughly. Aiden grabbed his tazer again and grinned, "That's what I got Popie." Pope grunted on the floor as Aiden stood on top of him, holding him down. "Talk about deja vu." He grinned, bringing the tazer closer and closer. Pope grabbed Aiden's hand and tried to push it away, just managing to free one of his legs and kick Aiden in the groin. "Don't disrespect me or my friend ever again." He hissed, crawling over to the tazer. They were fighting over it just as JJ leapt the wall and bolted towards them. That was a sight for sore eyes all right. He kicked the tazer under him towards Kie who picked it up deftly. "Let's go!" she called.JJ grinned and stamped on Aiden's bullet wound from not too long ago. Aiden glared up at him and went to grab his leg until Pope grabbed his head and brought it smashing to the floor. JJ helped Pope up before giving Aiden one last punch in the nose goodbye.The three of them jumped the fence quickly and scrambled back towards the truck. Kie still had the tazer, but Aiden was still a danger when he got back up."Scoot over." JJ told Pope as he jumped in after him."Ow-" Pope winced as JJ brushed his bruising torso."Who was she!?" Kie exclaimed."We're getting the hell out of here!""Get us outta here JJ!"The truck threw up dust as it span in a 180 and screeched away down the road.

Aiden busted out of the side-gate panting. He got into his own car and took off after them. Ms Limbrey gave him an order and he intended to fulfil it.

For an old truck, it was fast. JJ handed her beautifully "Here we go now!" He shouted as they drifted another corner. Aiden right behind them. "I think he's following us!" Kie said, looking out the rear glass."This is a one way!" Pope said over the revving engine."Go left." Said Kie bluntly."I know all right!" JJ sighed."Go that way." Pope instructed.JJ didn't."This is a one way!" Both Pope and Kie said."There's a car!" Pope panicked."They're following us!" Kie shouted out."Turn now!" Pope grabbed the wheel and tried to spin it, but JJ was stronger and held it until the last moment. He seemed to be smiling. "Jesus look out!" Pope shouted as JJ almost ran over three people bolting down the road with two red jerry cans."GET OUTTA THE ROAD!" JJ shouted."Those were people oh my god!" Pope scolded him.

Y/N was dragged across the road by Sarah, her legs were tired and the pain was growing. She stumbled and fell as Aiden almost hit the man chasing them. "Y/N! Come on!" John B helped her up and half carried her down the road."Maniac!" Y/N shouted."You punks..." The man muttered.

"That was evasive driving technique right there y'all!" JJ smiled."What almost kill someone!" Kie shouted at him.

The three pogues looked at the car ahead."Wait..." Y/N uttered."Is that..."John nodded, "Heyward."They ran off after it."Hey! Come back!" The man continued.

"Where we going?!" Pope asked JJ."Hang on I'll lose him!"He drifted another corner."JJ!""DUDE!"The engine hissed again. "You said he fixed the carburetor!" JJ complained, hitting the wheel."no no no no!" Kie struggled with her seatbelt."He did fix it!" Pope shouted."Shit!""Get out!"Pope groaned."Damn it!"Chaos ensued."Okay. What now Mario!?""Number one, NEVER trust these mechanics! Number two, Mario was a plumber!"Kie grabbed her bag from the back just as Aiden came around the corner."Come on!" JJ shouted.Pope slammed his door, "Go! Go! Go!"They bolted, leaving the truck smoking behind them.Aiden jumped out to pursue, slipping something into his pocket."Guys I think he has a gun!""Shut get down!" JJ crouch-ran."Come on Kie!"

"Go go go!" John B shouted.They ran around a corner and saw their friends... Of course. Who else would be having a car-chase in Heyward's truck."POPE KIE JJ!" John B shouted."Guys!" Y/N called. "Quick get on this." She heaved herself onto the back of a bike with a basket. "RUN!" They heard JJ yell."I think I'm cramping" Pope called back to him."Shit." Sarah saw the man chasing them close behind. "Get in!" She jumped onto the back of the bike quickly. John B jumped onto the front."Hey!" The bike's owner shouted."Sorry!" Sarah called.John B didn't have momentum yet, so Y/N and Sarah pushed at the floor with their feet to get started.Now they had two men chasing them.

"Go! go! go! go!" Kie shouted."We might have to split up!" JJ shouted. "I don't know where to go okay!?"Pope and Kie bolted after him as fast as they could. plants growing along the alleyway hitting against their legs."We gotta lose him!" Pope shouted.JJ suddenly shouted out as he ran into a man holding a bunch of boxes- sending them flying. "Woah! Jesus! Shit!" JJ hit against the wall as the man fell over.Pope and Kie leapt out of the way. "Shit!""Watch out!""Sorry!" Kie and Pope shouted."Yeah sorry about that!" JJ shouted too, not breaking his stride.Aiden jumped the boxes and kept on after them, running out of breath.

Y/N, Sarah and John B were losing the two men chasing them, it was a huge relief...

"Here!" JJ said as he saw another alley to dip into."Go on!""Okay!" Kie panted at the back."He's right there!" Pope shouted."GO! GO! GO!"Aiden was gaining as the Pogues ran out of breath. "GO!""I am going Pope just keep up!" JJ called back."He's gaining!" Kie panicked.They flew out of the alleyway and skidded to a halt. Almost ran over by a bike.

The three of them stopped. Their family were there... right in front of them. The Pogues. The world stood still. They all stared at each other with pure joy. It had been... So long. Too long. Everyone's face broke out in a grin."Get in!" Y/N shouted"Get in! Come on!" John B agreed.Kie leapt into the foot-hold of the cart, Pope and JJ held onto the back.Y/N put a hand on JJ's. "Jay!""Y/N!" He pulled a hand off of the cart and held her face, kissing her. "My baby!" He buried his head into her neck."JJ! Push!" Pope nudged him as they helped John B gain momentum."Oh my god!" Y/N laughed as she saw three men bolting after them."Pedal faster John B!" Sarah called as John B stood up in his pedals.The men on Y/N, John B and Sarah's tail gave up.Aiden didn't."Is that..." Y/N breathed."Yes." Pope looked at her seriously. "And we kicked the shit outta him baby!" JJ laughed."That's my boy!" She wrapped her hands around his neck.Kie grabbed onto Sarah and Y/N's legs, making Y/N wince.JJ jumped onto the side foothold and went from pushing with running to just using his foot. Pope was suddenly getting left behind."He's gaining man!" JJ said as he pushed harder."Oh man!" Pope shouted as he fell and rolled onto the floor."Pope!" Kie shouted. "Pope come on!""Get up let's go!""Take our hands Pope!" Y/N called as she and Sarah reached out for him. He reached for them and grabbed a hold. Leaping onto the side foothold, aided mostly by Sarah as it was her side.The air was full with electrified shouting. Aiden grabbed a hold of the back of the basket, so Y/N snatched the tazer from Kie and smiled at him, "Fuck you Aiden!" And brought the tazer down on his neck.He spasmed and rolled backwards onto the tarmac."See you later alligator!" John B shouted!Y/N grabbed JJ's hand and grinned at him, "WHOOOO!!" They both yelled, making the other pogues laugh. She stood up and they hugged for a moment."See you asshole!" Pope shouted"Woo Hoo!" Sarah called.Kie threw her hands up, "POGUES FOR LIFE BABY!""POGUES FOR LIFE!" They all shouted together."Oh my god!" Pope laughed, "That was crazy!""Just like old times!" John B agreed.

They took the bike directly back to the boat. As soon as it stopped Kie leapt onto it with Sarah. John B tossed the jerry can's down with Pope and JJ picked Y/N up, swirling her and putting her back on the ground."Is this you!?" Kie grinned looking at the boat."Gah!" Y/N laughed, she didn't care how badly it hurt. Nothing compared to the pain of losing him- this felt amazing. She reached for him and smiled, "You got the gun or are you just happy to see me?" She grinned."God I love you." He smiled back and kissed her. "Never leave again Y/N please I think I'd die.""I ain't going anywhere you beautiful idiot!" She hugged him tightly."Lovebirds lets go!" John B shouted as they poured fuel into the boat.Y/N pulled the anchor out of the sand and tossed it onto the boat. Sarah helped her up as she tensed with the pain of movement.

JJ and Pope pushed the heavy boat out and climbed on board, John B already at the helm.They were whooping and cheering just like they used to! Everything was perfect so so perfect. Pope climbed the side of the boat and held his hands out to celebrate their reunion. Kie threw her hands up and spun around on the deck. Sarah stood in John B's arms as he steered the boat, shouting and whooping. JJ scooped Y/N up and kissed her over and over. They recounted their tales together. They told them about what getting the texts from John B was like. They told about Cleo and Terrance and Ward and Rafe. Stories arose about the letter and Aiden too! Y/N even showed off her new scar. "You can't kill a Pogue!"The boat was full of the laughter of old reunited friends. Friends who were determined to be together forever. No matter what. The Pogues rolled around and played, dancing to the music on an old boombox pulled out from under the deck. The sunset lit up the stage beautifully, filling the air with excitement and joy. Everything was finally right again.

The moon rose high in the sky, illuminating the Pogue's happy faces. They laughed deep into the night, dancing around and joking just like they used too. Everyone's wit merging perfectly together. Y/N took over steering for John B. she could feel JJs hand on her as he guided her perfectly. She could hear Kie's laughter behind her, ringing out in the night air. She turned to see Pope's amused face as he looked at her. She could taste the salty air and feel John B and Sarah dance on the deck behind her to a song playing on the beat up old boom box. The gentle winds brushed along her face and JJ brushed the hair from her cheek. (A/N: If you got that reference ily)"Babygirl..." He buried his head into her shoulder, and she lent on him. "I missed you.""I missed you too J." Y/N smiled, weakly leaning back on him."Woah where you going there baby." He laughed."I'm tired, now shush beds don't speak." She teased him."Oh you want me to shut up now!?" He pretended to be hurt. JJ slowly slid down and as Y/N was leaning on him she slid down on top of him. "I'm wounded!" JJ groaned."Oh poor baby." Y/N laughed, she brushed his hair from his eyes and kissed him again. For longer this time.JJ sat up, still holding her on his lap. He finally pulled back. "You're pretty good at that kiss of life.." He stood up and brought Y/N up with him, taking her onto the deck. The music was still playing and John B was sitting with Sarah in the corner, almost asleep.Kie was lying along the side bench while Pope was next to her on the floor. JJ lay Y/N along the bed/bench she sat on with Sarah the other day. He held her hand and steered at the same time.JJ kissed her gently, "Since I don't wanna waste any time this time around... You wanna be my girlfriend again?""Sorry JJ. I made a deal with the devil when he brought me back to life. We're married now."JJ's face fell for a moment. "Oh..""Side hoe?""Main hoe."Y/N chuckled sleepily. "Deal."JJ looked at her as she lay there, "God you're so beautiful." He breathed."Seriously, I'd love to be your girlfriend again." JJ smiled. "Good. You didn't have a choice babygirl I love you too much."Y/N smiled and sighed, almost asleep."This better not be a dream.""Don't even joke about that." Y/N gripped his hand tightly."I'm hungry..." JJ murmered."Oh are you mister?""Yeah.. and you're a snack baby.." He reached over and sucked on her neck."Jayyy.." Y/N laughed, "Jay everyone is here.""When we get back then?""When we're alone again.""Or in prison.""Yeah or that" She laughed.He took his cap off and put it on Y/N's face, shielding her E/C eyes form the moon and stars.He kept his hand with hers as he drove back home, he didn't want to let go and he wasn't going to. Never again.
