It was the kick-off carnival and anna and the awsome foursome was there...but ryan and marissa were taking a "break". After the whole Oliver thing, all these two needed was a break but all marissa wanted was ryan more than ever before...

"Cmon Coop. You bailed out on me last year. this time you're not getting away with it!" summer wailed from the front line of the ferris wheel

marissa, ryan and anna walked over to the front of the line where seth and summer were. ryan felt awkward around marissa and seth could tell so he made up an excuse to go get fairy floss and dragged ryan along with him.

"thanx man" ryan said relieved.

"this is clean-slate ryan. This past year its been lady drama for you...dont get caught up in that again" seth advisably gave ryan.

"who thought of the day when seth would be giving me advice" ryan thought as they walked back to the ferris wheel.

"listen lady, only 3 people to a ferris cage ok?" the ferris wheel operator told summer.

"Look ok..! my best friend made this carnival possible so...like you should let us on right now or you in alot of trouble mister!" summer said sternly.

"hey whats going on" said seth

"oh, this guy wont let us have more than 3 people on a ferris wheel. i mean like cmon, its like our carnival!" summer said fed up.

"hey its ok, this is perfect. marissa will go with us and ryan can go with anna" seth said nudging ryan sarcasticly.

"..oh...oh yea! coop you cant bail out on me this time. you've got no excuse!" summer said brightly because summer thought ryan and marissa were great friends apart, but together was a disaster.

Marissa glanced over at ryan trying to make it not obvious but it caught ryan's eye.

"you can go you know...its ok" ryan said sadly as if he were dissapointed (he was a bit)

"um, ok sum lets go" marissa said depressly as she left ryan standing there alone with anna.

Within the next available ferris cage, summer, seth and marissa jumped on nearly falling over. Ryan and anna were still waiting there and marissa was still overlooking the guy who was the most important thing in her life. she was dumb to not believe him...she was the only guy she could trust...why did she throw it away...

"so...is this the end of you and marissa?" said anna

ryan felt uncomfortable talking about it bbut reluctantly said"oppose to the oliver incident, i think it is" said ryan sadly.
"but how bout you and seth. it must be hard for you to see him with summer"

"yeah i guess. but you know i guess it was for the better. because u know if he were still going out with me and still having summer on his mind every time we..."

"hey.. its going to be ok. theres other guys out there...ur as special as summer" ryan said assuringly and put his arm around anna.

for once, anna felt safe and suddenly she had this butterfly feeling in her stomach... something that wouldnt go away when ryan touched her.

"hey you two lovely dovey birds" the ferris wheel operator said. "get on"

ryan and ann looked at each other embarassingly.
ryan helped anna onto the ferris wheel and this electricity went through her body when he held hands with him to get on. when he let go, the electricity circuit was lost. she wanted that feeling back.

Marissa couldnt see ryan from her view and looked at summer sadly.

"its going to be ok coop...you know what they say: let go of the one you love, if they come back, you know its true love but if they dont, u never had them in the first place" said summer proudly saying smart stuff.

"what" seth said stunned. "where did you learn that from?"

"the valley" summer said proudly but seth couldnt hold his giggles and started to laugh. summer hit him. "owww" seth whined and summer said "dont be such a baby...sigh do you need a kiss to make it better?" suddenly his face brightened up and they kissed.
marissa looked at them. their kiss had just sealed it off that she was the biggest ass ever...

when ryan got on, he started to sweat and anna remembered instantly that he was afraid of heights. she giggled abit at him and he looked at her.

"u know this isn't funny."ryan said angrily

"ohhh yea.. i know" anna said covering her mouth. she overlooked the whole carnival and started to daydream. she looked over at ryan who was still shaking and said

"you just need ta' relax. think of something else even more scarier and dangerous" said anna.

"oh and you think that would help? that would add more pressure to the situation!" ryan said softly as words were hard to come out of his mouth.

she suddenly slid her hand on top of his which was grabbing the plastic seat hard. they looked at each other dazed and he slowly was letting go off his grasp. she slid her slender fingers through the middles of his fingers and suddenly...what do you know...there holding hands. ryan could not let go neither could anna. they knew this would make ryan's situation worse but couldnt stop.

all they did was look at each other the whole time knowing they couldnt do anything about this urge...or could they?...
