'Hey Ryan man.' Seth called, 'How do you feel about a little Seth/Ryan time, well actually a lot of Seth/Ryan time?'
'No can do dude, gotta meet Marissa.' Ryan answered.
'You know Ryan man, I think you're abusing Seth /Ryan time.'
'Well Seth, how can I abuse Seth/Ryan time when you and Summer live with Marissa and I.'
'That's funny Ryan; I didn't know you were funny. You must be really happy.' Seth pointed out.
'I am. Anyway, when are you and Summer getting your own place?' Ryan asked – hinting.
'Are you and Coop chucking us out?' Seth said sarcastically, 'Summer and I are affected by an earthquake in Rhode Island, and we transfer to Berkley to be with our best friends and this is how you treat us.'
'You left Rhode Island because the comic books prices are cheaper here and Summer came here because she missed getting a tan.' Ryan pointed out.
'GP.'

'Soooo Coop,' Summer said whilst walking in the mall alongside Marissa, 'How is things with you and Chino?'
'Good.'
'Good or really good?' Summer asked.
'Fantastic.'
'Well somebody got some last night.' Summer laughed.
'How did you know?' Marissa asked blushing.
'Well…your face turned to a shade of crimson, Seth and I heard you, and you're waking around with the cheesiest grin on your face.'
'Ahh, the walls are too thin.' Marissa sighed.
'What are you guys up to this weekend?' Summer asked.
Well, Ryan's away down to Newport for 2 days'
'Why are you not going?' Summer asked.
'End of term exam, it sucks.' Marissa sighed.
'Tell me about it, Dr. Summers totally gave me detention because I dumped Zach. And Dr. Summers Is his dad.'
'Sounds fun.'
--
'Hey kid.' Sandy said as Ryan waked through the front door of the Cohen house.
'Ryan, we've missed you.' Kirsten said whilst pulling him into a tight hug.
'Where's Marissa?' Sandy asked.
'Yeah, where's our future daughter in-law?' Kirsten asked.
'Now Kirsten they're not married – yet, or engaged.'
'Yeah, that's actually what I'm here for – Marissa's not here because I came down here to tell you that I'm going to propose.' Ryan announced.
'Oh my god Ryan! That's amazing.' Kirsten screamed.
'Congratulations son.' Sandy said pulling Ryan into a hug again.
'I need to see Julie – do you guys know where she is?' Ryan asked.
'Yeah she'll be at the Robert's planning her own wedding.' Kirsten answered.
'Good Luck.' Sandy said.
'I'll Need it.'
--
'Hey Seth.' Marissa said coming into her and Ryan's apartment with Summer behind her.
'Hey Coop, Hello Summer.'
'Hey geek.' Summer greeted.
'Seth, have you ordered the food?' Marissa asked.
'See, at least someone's being nice to me – and yes Marissa I have.'
'Allright, I'll go and get it.' Marissa said walking out the door.
'Bye.'
'So Cohen…Can you explain this?'
'Explain what?' Seth asked.
Summer disappeared for a minute and came back holding a small black box.
'This.' She answered she read the inside of the silver band of the ring. 'Marissa I love you – marry me.'
It was a sliver ring with a large diamond in the middle with two pink sapphires at either side.
'Ohh, where did you find that? That's the ring that Ryan's going to propose to Marissa with.'
A sound was heard at the door and Seth and Summer started scrambling around the room.
--
As Ryan knocked on the door to the Roberts' mansion, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Sure his little bit of friendship with Julie had gotten better, during time they could now stand each other.
As he heard the keys fiddle at the other side of the door, he thought he was about to faint.
'Ryan?' Neil said greeting Ryan by shaking his hand.
'Dr Roberts, how are you doing?' Ryan asked.
'Good thanks, come in, and how about yourself – going good with you and Marissa?'
'Yes actually really good.'
'So what brings you to Newport?' Neil asked.
'Well I'm going to propose to Marissa and I want to get Julie's blessing.'
'Congratulations Ryan, I'll go and get Julie.'
--
'Ryan.' Julie said as she walked up towards him.
'Julie.' He said as she pulled him into a hug.
He realised the only way to-do it was to get it over with straight away.
'I want to marry your daughter.'
'Kaitlin?' Julie asked.
'No, Marissa.' Ryan answered.
'Ryan, I know that we haven't got on that well over these past years but now its time to put that behind us – because we're family.' Julie said.
'Thanks, But that was weird.' Ryan said.
'God I know I've never been so kind before.'
'Do you think she'll say yes?'
'Of course, she will, Marissa's loved you since she was 16 and now she's 19, there's no chance that she'll say no.'
--
A week later.
'Marissa, I love you, and I promise to love you and take care of you for the rest of your life. I really want us to get married, Will you marry me?' Ryan asked.
'Of Course Ryan, Yes'
I hope you enjoyed it.
