Note: I wrote this story and the description when season two came out, but I, obviously, didn't get around to releasing it until now. So some things about season three will be different.

We're the Pogues, and our mission this summer is to have a good time, all the time.
~~~~~~~
The Outer Banks, Paradise on Earth. It's the sort of place where you either have two jobs or two houses. Two tribes, one island.
All right. So, Figure Eight, the rich side of the island. Home of the Kooks. So, guess where we don't live.
Then we have the south side or the cut. Home of the working class who make a living busing tables, washing yachts, running charters. The natural habitat of...... drumroll, please....... The Pogues.
That's us.
Pogues, pogies, the throwaway fish, lowest member of the food chain. Okay. So, the downside of Pogues life is we're ignored and neglected. But the upside of Pogue life? We're ignored and neglected, which means we do whatever we want, whenever we want.

That's JJ, my best friend since the third grade. He's about as local as they come. Latest in a long line of fishing, drinking, smuggling, vendetta-holding salt-lifers who made their living off the water. Best surfer I know, just don't tell him I said that. Mild kleptomaniac and a future tax cheat.

And that's Kiara, or Kie, as we call her. When not saving turtles, or listening to Marley, or getting a dolphin tattoo, she hangs out with us. I'm not really sure why though. 'Cause, she's a rich kid, actually. Foot in both worlds. Her family owns The Wreck, this Outer Banks institution. Total cash cow with the tourists. You know, I'm not really sure how her parents feel about us. Guess we boys all sorts have a thing for her.

That's y/n. The sassiest, most colorfully-worded person in the world. I've know her my whole life. She's like the annoying little sister I didn't want, but still love. She's a rich kid too; but, not.
