Spoilers: It is AU

Disclaimer: Some yes…most no…

"So now what do you do now?" Abby asked Kate as the two girls sat out on Anna's porch finishing their breakfast. Anna had a large porch that overlooked the water. In fact if you walked down the front lawn, you would find yourself on Anna's beach.

"Well," Kate said slowly, "we kind of destroyed our rowboat two years ago…"

"How do you destroy a rowboat?" Abby asked interestedly.

"It is a very long story," Kate told Abby.

"Come on," Abby pleaded, "Give me the short version."

"Alright," Kate said and took a deep breath, "It was a wooden rowboat that was already starting to go before it got caught in a huge storm and was beaten around the beach for hours. Then I don't actually know what happened to it last summer, but I was informed we had a new rowboat that was in need of assistance…"

"What kind assistance?" Abby asked very curiously causing Kate to roll her eyes.

"Is there anything that you will not give a makeover to?" Kate asked.

Abby considered for a moment. "Yes," she told Kate, "I don't give myself makeovers."

"Of course," Kate replied, "How could I forget?"

"Now what does this rowboat need?" Abby asked with a smile clasping her hand together.

"A good scrubbing," Kate told Abby. Abby looked mildly disappointed but decided that it was better than nothing. She and Kate exchanged a nod. Then Kate went upstairs to get dressed. When she was done Abby took her turn. They met out on the lawn where the boat was sitting.

Abby and Kate looked at each other amused. Though they had not discussed it, they had both appeared in swimsuits. Kate noticed with a slight pang that they were the exact swimsuits they had been wearing the day of the accident last summer. She did not bring it up though. They had an unspoken agreement not to mention it because Abby did not want any form of pity.

Kate had two brushes and a hose ready for their use. Abby took one brush and Kate took the other and Kate gave the boat a once over with the hose. They scrubbed away at the boat for a while.

"Does this vessel have a name?" Abby asked as she scrubbed away at the front.

"I think so," Kate replied going around back to look on the stern. Abby having gotten distracted from the conversation reached for the hose to rinse of some of the dirt she had removed.

Without thinking about it she turned sprayed water down the length of the boat. This would have been fine except the blast hit Kate. Abby let go of the hose but by this point Kate was already dripping in water. Her hair and swimsuit were completely sopping and she turned to Abby with her fake smile.

Abby knew that smile. That was the smile the meant Kate was about to get her revenge. Instinctively Abby grabbed the hose and pointed it at Kate.

"Stay where you are or I fire," Abby threatened. Kate's eyes narrowed then she disappeared between the hedge and the house. Abby waited for her to reemerge but after a few minutes of waiting curiosity go the better of her. She poked her head around the hedge and immediately found herself soaking in water.

Kate emerged from the bushes wielding another hose. Abby backed away and a little and then realized that she still had a hose. She pulled the trigger and her stream connected with Kate's. Kate however had slightly higher water pressure so she managed to get Abby to back up.

Suddenly Kate's hose caught on something and she turned around to undo it. Abby took immediate advantage of Kate's lack of attention. She ran to the other side of the boat and hid behind it, but she set her hose so it arced over the boat to where Kate was standing.

Having freed the hose Kate whipped around just as the water hit her. She moved a step to the left and when the water did not follow her she realized Abby was not holding it. Quickly and quietly she crept up to the boat and shot down on Abby from the top.

Abby looked up at Kate and in a decent imitation of a video game voice announced, "Kill shot."

With that Abby fell back on the ground and lay motionless. After a moment her head rolled to the side a little and her tongue lolled out of her mouth. With her hair spread out around her on the grass, she actually had a pretty good dead act going. Of course Anna chose that moment walk out of the house.

"Caitlin," she asked walking over, "What happened?"

"It is a very long story but I can assure you she is not dead," Kate told her grandmother. "Abby get up." Abby did not move and Kate rolled her eyes. "Abby Grandma Anna has chocolate."

Abby sat bolt up right in the grass. "I'm alright," she told the other two. Then she glared at Kate because there was no chocolate.

Anna laughed at their antics and left to go to her appointment. She did not mind as long as she did not have to explain why a houseguest ended up dead in her lawn.

Kate pulled Abby to her feet and they looked at the boat. "It's wet," Kate commented.

"Good so we have proved that it doesn't blow up if it gets wet," Abby continued.

"A good thing to have in a boat," Kate said with a nod.

"We should probably finish scrubbing it shouldn't we?" Abby asked looking at the sort of white mass of fiberglass.

"Only if you want to go sailing tomorrow," Kate told her.

"Weren't you issuing threats to anyone who stood in the way of that?" Abby asked cautiously.

"Yep," Kate nodded, "Brush?" Abby grabbed it and dropped to her knees rubbing the boat fervently. Kate laughed and began her work on the opposite side of the boat.
