A/N: Hey guys. So I'm about to start the first chapter. I was planning on picking up exactly where they left off. For some reason I thought they had cliffhangers but it pretty much told us what was going to happen. So I've decided to skip a few days rather than pick up exactly when Ava and Johnny kissed. But don't worry, I'm not changing anything else I was planning on doing.

SUMMERLAND

Guest staring: Lauren Graham as 'Gina'

Episode 3x01: Bring Me to Life

Playa Linda, California

Ava was in her bedroom getting ready for her date with Johnny. She couldn't believe she was going out with Johnny once again. Just a few nights ago, while they were on the beach, they both realized they needed to be together. It was their fate. They had dated many years ago but yet still were a great part of their lives. He had been there for her like Susannah and Jay were when her sister and brother-in-law died, leaving her Bradin, Nikki, and Derrick. The only one thing she was hoping for this time around was not just having a good time, but possibly a real future. One where she didn't have to find another possible husband. Having her neice and nephews living with her under her care made her want to have a family. Sure she had her fashion career to think about but now her top priority had changed. Friends and family were the only things you really needed in life. Without them the world didn't seem like a place she wanted to be in. Maybe there really was something good in her sister and brother-in-law dying; she wouldn't know or understand what it was like to have a family such as the one she had now.

Susannah was waiting downstairs with Johnny while he waited for Ava to come downstairs. After ten minutes had gone by without a word from her, she decided to see what was taking her so long. She knocked on her door. After hearing no answer, she walked into Ava's bedroom.

Ava looked at her door and saw Susannah. "How long have you been there?" asked Ava, slighty surprised.

"Just a few seconds. I knocked but there was no answer." she explained while moving over to sit on her bed that was covered in clothes. "I see the clothes are attacking."

Ava turned around and rolled her eyes. "I couldn't decide what to wear. I still don't." She looked down at the outfit she was currently wearing.

"Well you look fine." And she really did. She had on a black dress with diamond earrings, a silver bracelet, and a diamond necklace. One she remembered to be given to her by Johnny for their first anniversary.

Ava appeared doubtful. "Are you sure? Not overdoing it, underdoing it?"

"Well," Susannah started, "I don't know how much you're doing it," she joked, "but you look perfectly fine. Now go down before he changes his mind or you do." Susannah got off the bed and pushed Ava towards the stairs.

Ava walked downstairs and saw Johnny waiting on the couch. She cleared her throat, letting her know of his presence.

When Johnny heard Ava, he got off the couch and turned around. "You look absolutely stunning." He said, taking in her beauty.

"Thank you. You look great yourself." She said smiling, taking in his tux. She always loved him in one.

"Shall we?" He asked guiding her towards the door. When they were outside, he opened her door and closed it when she was in. He then proceeded to get into the driver's side. Once he was in, he drove to the restaurant.

Honolulu, Hawaii

Kara was in her room looking at her InStyle magazine when she heard a loud bang come from the living room. She already had an idea about what it was but it never hurt to check. She got off of her bed and opened her bedroom door to find her mother on the floor. She quickly rushed over to her side to help her up. "Mom. Come sit on the couch."

"I'm fine." Her mother yelled, slighty drunk.

"I'm trying to help you." Kara said, trying to keep her voice calm. It was hard for her around her mother to keep her cool. Especially when she was drunk. She loved her mother but she knew she was a bad example for Bailey and herself. Her mother just never understood that.

Gina made her way to the couch with the help of her daughter. She quickly fell asleep, leaving Kara to clean up the mess her mother had made.

Kara looked down at the cups, sunflower seeds, and spilled coke on the carpet. She shook her head. "I can't believe this." She made her way to her sister's room and opened the door, not bothering to knock. She was on a mission and this mission was one she had to accomplish before it drove her to drink herself.

Bailey was on her bed watching the local surfing channel. She loved the beach and especially surfing. A few years ago, when she was fourteen, she had started surfing. Sure it was considered late at fourteen if you lived in Hawaii but at least she knew how to now. That was all that mattered. Back then, waking up at five in the morning to catch some killer waves was like living in hell. She hated getting up that early. Now, she was up at four and by the water no later than four thirty. She saw her sister barge into her room, knowing full well something was up. "What now?" She knew of her mother's daily routine and didn't approve of it. Sure she drank herself, but not to the extent of her mother and not every night.

Kara didn't even wait a few seconds before answering. "We're leaving." She commanded.

"What?" Bailey was surprised. Never had her sister ever talk about leaving. Maybe she had thought about it but she had never actually spoke to her about it. "Where are we going to go?"

Kara nodded her head. "I think you know." She stared at her sister for a few seconds. "I'm booking two tickets to California. Be ready in a half hour okay?"

Bailey nodded her head, cueing Kara she would and that she could leave. She looked around her ocean green walls. She was going to miss her bedroom, her friends, and the waves. You could surf in California but there were no waves anywhere else like Hawaii. She grabbed her duffel bag and started packing her clothes along with her other belongings. She grabbed her surfboard and headed downstairs.

When Kara entered her pink and orange room, she grabbed her suitcase and packed all the items she couldn't live without. She grabbed a peice of paper and pen and started writing a letter to her mother, explaining where they were and why they had left. She finished quickly and then headed downstairs, taking the note and her suitcase with her. She put the note down on the dining room table and looked at her sister. "Ready?"

Bailey nodded. She got out her cell phone and called a cab, while Kara called the airport for tickets. Twenty minutes later the cab arrived to take them to the airport.

Hey guys. I hoped you liked the beginning. I wasn't planning on having just these two scenes but I changed my mind.

Next on Summerland: Ava still doesn't know which restaurant they are going to. Where they go is considered a special place where you can tell he fully thought about it.

Bailey and Kara arrive in California and visit someone they know very well. How will they get along with everyone else?
