"Poguelandia sounds stupid." Rosie says.
"I like it." Cora shrugs.
"Thank you, Cori. See, this is why you're my favorite." JJ says making her grin.
"There are so many better options." Rosie remarks.
"Hey, nobody changed it, did they? Sarah was a little against it, but she came around. You will, too." JJ says.
"Doubt it." Rosie gives him a crazy look. "Gilligan's Island was cooler. They had a radio and huts and clothes."
"They didn't even name the island." JJ scoffs.
"Still better." Rosie shrugs.
"You guys didn't have ice cream? Or root beer or anything?" Cora asks.
"Nope. Berries, coconuts, and fish if we caught any." JJ says.
"That's so sad." Cora pouts, her chin resting on top of her brother's head.
"It wasn't that bad." JJ says. "Only would've been perfect if we had our two little weirdos with us."
"You're weird." Rosie retorts.
"You're weirder." JJ mocks, sticking his finger in her ear making her swat him away.
"Put me down, put me down." Cora says, repeatedly tapping her brother's head as they approach the chateau.
JJ takes her off his shoulders and puts her on the ground, the two girls racing ahead of him towards the chateau.
"Yo!" JJ calls out and whistles, watching the two run inside. "John B!"
"Hey, J." Kie calls making JJ turn to her.
"John B not here?" JJ asks, walking over.
"Nope." Kie answers. She awkwardly clears her throat.
The two girls leave the house after not finding the Routledge boy.
"Kie!" Rosie grins, spotting the girl. She breaks into a sprint towards the teenager, Kie's nervous look turning into a bright smile.
"Rosie!" Kie cheers, holding her arms open and Rosie practically jumps into her arms. "Oh, I missed you so much!" She swings the girl back and forth. "You got so big. You reach my stomach, what happened?"
"You guys got stranded." Rosie says.
"Right. Yeah, duh." Kie remarks, gently hitting her head.
"Kie!" Cora runs over and hugs her.
"Hi, sweetie!" Kie picks Cora up, giving her the same swaying hug she did Rosie. "Ugh, it was so boring without you two."
"Really?" Cora asks with an excited smile.
"Really." Kie nods.
"Okay, okay, reunion, yay." JJ says, earning an annoyed look from the three girls. "You were saying." He motions to Kie.
"Uh... well, I-I guess John B and his dad went and got the Twinkie." Kie holds up a note that JJ takes from her.
"What do you mean dad?" Rosie frowns.
"She doesn't know?" Kie gives JJ a wide eyed look.
"I thought John B should've told her." JJ shrugs. "But, you know... you work, too, apparently."
"What do you mean dad?" Rosie asks again.
"Um... well, honey..." Kie crouches down to be the girl's level. "When we... we were in Barbados and, uh... and John B found your guys' dad. He-- he was in a bell tower or something and had been staying there for a while, I guess. I don't know a lot of details. But... but he's alive an-and John B brought him home."
