Okay guys, I have the first post of season 2! It is not necessary to read season one first, but I highly recommend it. I will give a quick recap of what happened last season.
Seth and Marissa, best friends their entire life, started the season as relative loners. Throughout the season they got close to their respective partners, Summer and Ryan. Ryan and Marissa got together early on, but faced various problems stemming from Ryan's past in Chino.
Meanwhile, Seth and Summer took a longer root, derailed by Summer's early rejection and Seth's misguided choice of Alex in episode ten. They finally get together near the end of the season. Through it all Seth and Marissa remain close friends, with only a brief rough-patch after Caitlan died.
At the end of the season Ryan was being charged with drug trafficking, and had to return to Chino to stand trial. Marissa, despite having some last minute doubts, decided to go with Ryan to Chino. Last season ended with Seth and Summer together and happy, while Ryan and Marissa were leaning for Chino.
This fic is a TV style fic, so I post in episodes, and as if it were a script for a TV show. Therefore, my fic is more dialogue driven than description driven. Every episode has 5-6 scenes in it.
I probably won't be able to post as often as I did for the first season, but I'll do the best I can. As always please review, because otherwise I don't know if anybody is reading.
Season 2
Episode 1- The Return Home
Scene 1:
There's a long pause.
"So… you guys coming home soon?"
He asks, breaking the silence.
"Yeah probably"
She responds plainly. He nods to himself.
"Well good, because you'll both be coming home to a big surprise… I've convinced Summer to go blonde"
He says, hoping to elicit a response.
"Okay well, that's great."
She answers unenthusiastically. There's another pause.
"So… I guess I'll be seeing you soon."
"Yeah, you will."
Seth shrugs to himself.
"Bye"
"Bye"
Seth hangs up. He looks over at Summer on his bed. He sighs.
Su: And?
Summer asks. Seth shakes his head.
Se: Nothing.
Seth replies. He lies down on the bed next to Summer.
Su: Nothing, really? Even when you told her I went blonde?
Seth shakes his head.
Se: Nada.
Seth repeats.
Su: Well, were you convincing enough? You always do this thing with your voice when you are lying.
Se: I don't know, you were right here, did it sound like I was lying?
Summer shrugs.
Su: I think already knowing that you were going to lie, may have impaired my judgment a little.
Summer replies, condescendingly.
Se: Yet somehow you can always tell when I'm lying to you.
Summer nods.
Su: Like just last week, when you pretended to forget my birthday but then threw me a fabulous surprise party and gave me this…
She tugs at a necklace around her neck.
Se: Yeah well, you didn't really need a polygraph for that one…
Seth points out.
Se: I spent an entire week in second grade just trying to memorize your birthday.
Summer smiles.
Se: Over and over again, 8-15, 8-15, "Seth, what is seven times six?"
He says, mimicking his second grade teacher's voice.
Se: 8-15, 8-15. My teacher thought I was retarded. She even gave me a key to the special handicapped bathroom right next to the room.
Summer smiles. There's a pause.
Se: What were we talking about again?
Seth asks, half-seriously.
Su: Marissa!
Summer replies. Seth nods.
Se: Right, well I don't know, it's like all the humor has been completely sucked from her body. I know, maybe Ryan's house has humor-sucking cockroaches in it.
Seth suggests.
Su: Very clever.
Summer says sarcastically. Seth shrugs.
Se: Well hey, I have to pull out my best material if we are going to pull Marissa out of this funk.
Seth says, ignoring Summer's sarcasm. Summer sighs.
Su: I don't know Seth, I am really worried about her…
Seth shrugs.
Se: She'll be fine, Marissa's a trooper. Ryan has been acquitted, so they can move on, everything will be fine, you'll see.
Seth says confidently. Summer shrugs.
Su: I hope you're right.
Summer says less confidently. There's a pause. Seth grabs one of his shoulders. Summer moves over behind Seth.
Su: Your shoulder's sore?
Seth nods timidly. Summer starts to massage his shoulders.
Se: Wow… that feels great.
Seth compliments.
Su: How could you be sore? You haven't done anything all summer.
Summer asks skeptically, but keeps rubbing his shoulders.
Se: Well, we got a new 21 inch plasma TV for the living room last week, and the new remote is quite heavy…
Seth replies.
Su: Oh, poor baby…
Summer jokes. Seth nods. Summer stops massaging and ruffles his hair.
Se: You like the jew-frow?
Seth asks.
Su: Yeah totally, you look like Schreech from Saved by the Bell.
Seth looks at Summer. He turns around and pins Summer to the bed. Summer giggles. Seth kisses her.
Se: Do I kiss like Schreech too?
Seth jokes. Summer smiles. They kiss again.
