The pogues had vaguely mentioned some sort of plan they had, leaving the two little sisters behind at the chateau. They tried to protest, but their brothers didn't relent, forcing them to stay out of it.
"Boys are stupid." Rosie grumbles as the two walk along the beach.
"Tell me about it." Cora huffs. "Why do we have to be related to them?"
"Guess JB's right. We really can't have anything good in life." Rosie sighs and Cora rolls her eyes.
"We should've had Kie as a sister." Cora comments.
"That'd be cool." Rosie says. "I wish we could swim without them."
"Why can't we? How would they know?" Cora shrugs.
"I think they'd find out when one of us drown, dummy." Rosie remarks.
"Don't call me dummy." Cora pouts, lightly shoving her friend. "And I wouldn't drown. I can swim."
"Except when a big wave comes." Rosie says. "Then we're both fucked."
"Whatever." Cora grumbles. "Sandcastle?"
"Yeah." Rosie grins, the two quickly getting to work.
"We can make it giant. Like the size of a kook house." Cora grins, the two girls' eyes sparkling with excitement.

After spending hours building sandcastles, the two girls made their way to Heyward's shop.
"And where are your brothers?" Heyward asks.
"Teenage boy stuff." Cora shrugs.
"I don't wanna know." Heyward says.
"Can we have ice cream?" Rosie sweetly smiles, flashing her puppy dog eyes, knowing the man always caves anyway.
"You got the money?" Heyward asks.
"We can write an I owe you note thingy." Cora smiles.
"Mm-hmm." Heyward nods. "All right, just tell your brothers they owe me for two ice creams." He says making the girls grin. "You know where to find them."
The two girls immediately race over to the freeze, Rosie pushing the lid open.
Cora grabs an orange push pop while Rosie goes for the chocolate covered ice cream bar.
"Don't be making a mess on my deck now." Heyward warns.
"We're going home. We'll melt them on public ground." Rosie promises.
"Y'all be careful!" Heyward calls out as the two girls.
"Thank you!" Cora yells back as the two leave.
"Children." Heyward sighs and shakes his head.
"I spy... something green." Rosie says.
"The grass." Cora says.
"Dang it." Rosie grumbles and Cora giggles.

The two girls are playing Chutes and Ladders, trying to pass the time. They hear a vehicle pull up, listening to the familiar banter of their brothers.
Rosie looks up when the door opens, the two boys walking in.
"What'd you guys do?" Rosie asks.
"Nothing." John B tells her making the girl roll her eyes.
"I'm hungry." Cora whines.
"Ah. Good because we come bearing gifts." JJ grins, shaking the take out box around. "Free food from The Wreck." He gives Cora the food.
