Ryan walks over to the front door laughing and opens it, Seth and Summer walk in. Summer waves then runs into the kitchen to see Marissa and Seth kinda hugs Ryan.

Seth: Good to see you man

Ryan: You too

Summer: MARISSA!! You miss me?

Marissa: You were only gone for one day and yes I did very much. I wouldn't of had to sit through the torcher today if you were here.

Summer: What? What do you mean?

Marissa: I had to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre to pass the time.

Ryan: You didn't have to, you wanted to.

Summer: I LOVE THAT MOVIE!! Me and Cohen saw that together I though he was going to pee his pants he was so scared. Did you like that part where he gets that one dumb chick in the dark room and…

Seth: Ok you can stop now, I don't need to hear about it again. I wouldn't have a problem if I never saw blood again.

Summer: You are such a baby Cohen, that movie is awesome.

Ryan: You were the last person I would have ever expected to say that.

Summer: Are you kidding me? I love scary movies but Cohen just never wants to see them with me.

Seth: Have too! Who saw Darkness Falls with you?

Summer: Ha you call that scary?

Seth: I was so scared of the dark for like 2 weeks after that one, good thing i had good ole captain oats by my side.

Ryan: Good to have you back bro.

Seth: I knew you would miss me I was kinda hoping I would get a tear when I walked in, make you a little emotional guess not.

Ryan: You will get plenty of tears from your mom, she has been freaking out.

Seth: Yea I know man better get to it…. He says and walks upstairs and Marissa, Ryan and Summer all sit down to watch the special features of the movie.

Summer has the control and is flipping through deleted scenes, and Ryan moves his arm so Marissa can lay back on him and watches her as she closes her eyes and tenses up.

Summer: I wonder how they make it all look so real. You know Chino?

Ryan: No clue

Marissa: You two are actually talking to each other this is new.

Summer: Funny

Marissa: I have to go to the bathroom she says and runs out of the room just as blood splatters on the screen.

Summer: You're missing the good stuff

Marissa: I like the view from here better she says and Ryan laughs know she didn't have to go to the bathroom in the first place she just wanted to get on the other side of the room away from the TV. Summer is sitting in front of the TV with her eyes glued to the TV watching the extras.

Summer: That is so cool

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Seth walks into Sandy and Kirsten's room to see both of them crashed in bed. Kirsten is holding Sandy's hand snoring softly, Seth walks over and kisses his moms forehead and shakes his dad.

Seth: Good afternoon sleepy heads.

Sandy: Seth your home!!

Seth: Have been for a while, I just wanted to let you sleep you looked so peaceful I know that now I'm going to be getting it.

Kirsten wakes up to the sound of Seth's voice and sits up. She leans over and hugs him crying, all of her 3 boys were home like it should be.

Kirsten: Oh Seth, we aren't mad we were worried. Well I guess a little mad but I will be over that in a while.

Sandy goes over to them and hugs both of them real tight.

Sandy: Maybe I should leave so when I get home I could get some loving.

Kirsten: Real funny Sandy!

Sandy, Kirsten and Seth walk downstairs and Seth runs into the kitchen to avoid the movie and sees that Marissa is doing the same thing.

Marissa: Want some popcorn? I told them I would make some; it gave me an excuse to leave the room.

Seth: You haven't made any…

Marissa: Yea I know I'm stalling plus I'm not sure if I want to make them some, for making me watch the movie and all she says and Seth nods and smiles, Sandy walks in knowing that Seth doesn't like scary movies he eggs him on winking at Kirsten.

Sandy: You know what Kirsten? I haven't seen that movie have you?

Kirsten: No I haven't, but I heard it's good.

Sandy: Well since Seth's home let's watch it tonight as a family.

Marissa: I am not getting into this one she says and walks out into the living room and sits in the chair opposite from Ryan just to tick him off. It works and Ryan picks her up and sits down and puts her on top of him.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Seth: You think that's funny? I will run away again…

Kirsten: Don't ever say that again! We love you here Seth.

Sandy: I'm just joking kid, I love you to tell you the truth.

Seth: Yea I know, I'm hungry he says and goes to the fridge and pulls out 3 tapiocas out of the fridge. Nothing is better than having you favorite pudding on tap.

Kirsten: Why don't you just eat one I'm ordering takeout

Seth: I will one for each day I was gone.

Summer walks in and grabs a glass and goes to the sink to fill it up.

Summer: Look how cute they are, Marissa on Ryan's lap scared. That will never happen to me due to the fact you Seth will be on my lap.

Seth: I am sick of that attitude; I can see the modeling side coming out of you he says and walks over and kisses her on the cheek getting himself a glass of water while shoving tapioca in his mouth.

Kirsten: Modeling?

Summer: Yea like an intern job I don't know we were just talking about it the other day.

Seth: We were talking about it today Sum.

Summer: Really? Dang it's been a long day.

Sandy: I'll bet…

Ryan and Marissa walk in and Marissa is still shaking.

Marissa: Whoever thought of that movie is really disturbed.

Ryan: It's a true story.

Marissa: It is…holy crap

Summer: Yup kinda scary huh?

Marissa whispering into Ryan's ear: Maybe I'll spend the night with you I can just see my mom coming after me with a chainsaw.

Ryan laughs: Fine with me

Doorbell rings

Sandy: I love takeout, it's the greatest invention since the surfboard, and it's here in only 10 minutes.

Kirsten: Girls would you like to stay? We have plenty.

Summer and Marissa: Yea sure

Marissa: As long as there's no scary movies after dinner she says looking at Ryan,

Ryan: I promise he says and everyone sits down and starts eating dinner.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The end of the summer

Summer and Marissa sit down on the beach together, reading magazines and tanning.

Marissa: You know what Sum?

Summer: What?

Marissa: I love spending time on the beach and all, and spending time with the guys like every night and day. But I think that we need to go on a trip I mean summers almost and WE haven't done anything exiting.

Summer: Yea I know, I can see your brain working. What were you thinking?

Marissa: Well, Newport is cool and everything but I really want to go somewhere cold. Like…THE SNOW! Up in the mountains

Summer: Like a trip?

Marissa: Yea one with just the 4 of us, do you think you can make it work?

Summer: No probably not, but it's worth a try. Plus it gives me a good excuse to get like cute sweaters and other stuff like that like mittens, scarfs and cute hats.

Marissa: Yea that would be so much fun, although we probably won't use them again unless Newport freezes over.

Summer: It's not my money I'm spending, I can ask daddy! It's my birthday coming up anyway he will buy me anything, maybe this trip could be my birthday present.

Marissa: It could be like one long party.

Summer stands up and pulls out her cell phone.

Summer: Let me give my daddy a call, he could hook us up with the flight, a cottage in the mountains, and a credit card to shop with.

She dials her dad's number and waits for him to answer. She uses her cute little girly voice when he answers.

Dad: Summer sweetie! How are you? I haven't got a call from you in a long time what's up?

Summer: Hey daddy, just wanted to call to say that I love you and miss you. When are you going to be home?

Dad: Soon, probably late tonight, want to go for breakfast tomorrow and catch up on things?

Summer: Of course, would I ever pass up on that opportunity?

Dad: I hope not, listen sweetums I have to go. I will see you tomorrow morning ok?

Summer: Ok daddy, love you bye.

She shuts her phone and smiles.

Summer: Everything is going to work out fine,. Now all we need is to get permission from your parents and the Cohen's and we are all set.

Marissa: But you haven't even asked yet.

Summer: Trust me my daddy loves me and it's my birthday. He will do just about anything, we are going to have breakfast tomorrow morning and I will just ask him then, now let's go shopping.

Marissa: Sounds good

Summer pulls Marissa by the arm leading her to the car, trying to pull a shirt over her bathing suit at the same time.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Seth and Ryan are sitting in Seth's room playing the x-box, and tapioca laying all around them. Half the containers gone on one side, on the other side is 2 full boxes of full containers.

Seth: You suck man!

Ryan: It's not my fault I can beat you at this game.

Seth: But I am the master and you are making me look bad.

Seth pulls out the game and throws it across the room and puts in a game that Ryan isn't good at in.

Ryan: Ok now you suck, you know I'm not good at this game.

Seth: My point exactly.

He grabs another package of tapioca and eats it while he's killing Ryan.

Ryan: I think you need to lay off the pudding its making you even more weird and I didn't think that was possible.

Seth: Whatever Ryan, pudding makes you strong just ask Captain Oats over there.

Ryan: Like I would talk to a plastic horse…

Seth: Don't you dare offend Captain Oats.

Ryan's cell starts ringing, he pauses the game and stands up and walks over to the Seth's nightstand where his cell is sitting right next to Captain Oats and see's that it is Marissa and picks it up.

Ryan: Please save me…

Marissa: Hey to you too, why what's up?

Ryan: Seth he is driving me insane.

Seth: I heard that!

Ryan picks up Captain Oats and chucks him at Seth who has took the game off pause and was attacking Ryan's guy.

Seth: OWWW

Ryan: What's up why are you calling?

Marissa: I have got GOOD news!

Ryan: Yea what is it?

Marissa: Well me and Summer are shopping for the trips of our lives.

Marissa: Vail!! It's in the mountains.

Ryan: Really? When are you going?

Marissa: When am I going don't you mean when are we going?

Ryan: No…wait what do you mean we?

Marissa: You, me, Seth, and Summer it's Summer's birthday present along with a million of other things.

Ryan: Birthday when?

Marissa: Don't tell her you don't know ok? She will be pis sed.

Ryan: Yea ok, but why are we going?

Marissa: Aren't you excited? Just for fun, it's a trip, just for fun in the mountains.

Ryan: Well yea I'm excited it's just kinda sudden.

Marissa: Yea I know it's not for sure yet, Summer still has to ask her dad. He will be taking care of the flights and cottage and stuff.

Ryan: You mean you guys haven even asked yet?

Marissa: That's the easy part for us, the hard part is shopping for snow clothes. AS for you, you have to convince your parents. Tell them its her birthday ok? I have to go i am trying on some clothes, Love ya bye

Ryan: Love you too…

Ryan hangs up the phone and looks at Seth who is still playing the game and still killing Ryan.

Ryan: Give it a rest.

Seth: I love you too…

Ryan: Are you mocking me?

I don't know… what will you do? Hit me with a cute compliment.

Seth says in a high voice still mocking Ryan. Ryan walks over to the outlet unplugging both cord making the screen go blank and Seth's game shut off.

Ryan: No I can just do that, I have to go ask kir…I mean mom something.

Seth: JERK! It's not my fault you sound funny when you say I love you.

He walks over and plugs the cords back in.

Seth: So what are you asking?

Ryan: You'll see

He walks out into the hallway and down the stairs.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Marissa: Cute Color Sum, it will match your gloves.

Summer: And scarf, I like this shade of pink. Goes cute with jeans too, don't you think?

Modeling in front of the mirror, and turning in all different directions seeing every angle.

Marissa: Totally, so do you think this lighter shade of purple is good? Or the yellow? Or even the blue?

Summer: I like the blue, but the lighter one so it doesn't clash with those jeans you just bought.

Marissa: Yea I think it's cute too.

Summer: Ok so i have 2 pairs of gloves, 2 scarfs', 4 new pairs of jeans, a dozen new sweatshirts. What else am I missing? A HAT! Can't believe I forgot. What do you still need? Its getting late the mall is going to be closing.

Marissa: I need a scarf and shoes, we are going to be sharing sweatshirts and I have 6 so I'm all set there, and if I get this coat I'm good.

Summer puts her things on the counter and waits to be get rung up. Marissa sets her stuff up there too they both sign there receipts and pick up there bags.

Summer: I wish I had either Cohen or Chino right now.

Marissa: I know that's one thing they are good at carrying bags.

They both giggle and load there stuff in the trunk of Marissa jeep.

Marissa: I'm gonna drop you off ok? I have to ask my dad to see if I can even go, I'll call you later?

Summer: Ok, oh and call Ryan later and see if the both of them can go.

Marissa: Why don't you call Seth, he is your boyfriend?

Summer: I know but I have to come up with a cute little speech for my dad and get a cute outfit ready. Plus I have to online and look for a cottage in the mountains.

Marissa: Ok I understand, here we are bye Sum.

Summer: Bye Coop, call me?

Marissa: I will after I ask and call Ryan.

Marissa pulls out of the driveway and up the street towards her dad's house. She didn't plan on asking her mom who she had been hiding from ever since she got back from her honeymoon. She knew she had a better chance with her dad anyway, she walks in to see her dad eating Mac and Cheese.

Jimmy: Hey kiddo, what's up with all the bags?

Marissa: Hey dad I have a question for you.

Marissa walks over to her dad and sits on his lap and give him puppy dog eyes. She begins to ask…

Jimmy: Spill

Marissa: Well Summer has her birthday coming up and she's having a party and I'm invited.

Jimmy: Well that doesn't explain the bags unless you got her one heck of a present.

Marissa: No, actually I haven't even thought about that. Anyways I want to go, but there's a sort of a catch… it's in Vail.

Jimmy: Vail? As in up in the mountains?

Marissa: Yea just the 4 of us.

Jimmy: Who? You, Summer, and her parents?

Marissa: No the four of us meaning me, Summer, Seth, and Ryan.

Jimmy: No Marissa sorry.

Marissa: But dad nothing will happen!

Jimmy: We had this happen last year! Not again I'm not going to lose you.

Marissa: But I'm older, plus I'm not going out with Luke anymore. Everything will be fine.

Jimmy: But you're dating Ryan! What's the difference?

Marissa: The difference is that Ryan doesn't drive me crazy.

Jimmy: And neither did Luke!

Marissa: I love him dad!! I trust him.

Jimmy saw that she really wanted to go, and that it was senior year finally broke down.

Jimmy: Fine you can go.

Marissa: Thanks dad.

She gets up and hugs him.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Back at the Cohen's

Ryan: Please you can trust us

Sandy: NO! NO! NO!

Ryan: Why not? It's senior year…

Sandy: We almost lost both of you

Kirsten: Listen Ryan we can't, you guys are too young to be alone by yourselves for a whole weekend.

Ryan: We are almost 18 mom

Ryan calling Kirsten mom made her so happy.

Kirsten: Ok you can go.

Sandy: Wait a second, Kirsten can I speak to you in the other room?

Kirsten was still in shock.

Kirsten: Yea of course.

Sandy: What are you thinking?

Kirsten: That they are old enough and he just called me mom!

Sandy: Yea I heard, do you really think this is a good idea?

Kirsten Why not? It's just for a long weekend.

Sandy: Whatever

Kirsten: Plus we can tell them the news when they get home.

Sandy walks back into the room and nods his head of approval to Ryan.

Ryan: Really? Thanks, I gotta go tell Seth.

Ryan gets up and runs upstairs to tell Seth.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
