Hi, I just wanted to thank you for reviewing :) It makes me continue, knowing that someone is actually reading this ;) So, here's the next chapter

Summer sat in Marissa's room, waiting for her to get out of the shower. They were going over to the Cohen's. Marissa had promised Ryan to hang out with him apparently and she didn't want to go home. Ryan and Marissa would probably just be making out the whole time but Seth would be there too so she wouldn't be alone with them.

They weren't together but she knew they would get together, it was just matter of time when that would happen. When Ryan left a month ago it broke Marissa's heart, she had only known him for few days but in these few days she fell in love.

She wanted them to get together because when he was here she was so happy but when he left she barely left her house. So she decided to go with her because she knew Cohen would probably be in their way, and she was not going to let that happen. Maybe he was a geek, but the boy was sweet, and he was kind of cute too.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Marissa. She just got out of the shower. She was wearing a short skirt and a top, which she probably just bought.. She was obviously trying to look good for Ryan

"Wow, I love your outfit" Summer said

"Thanks" Marissa replied, "I just got it"

"Ryan is going to faint"

"Huh, you think?"

"No I don't think, I know" Summer said, "So, what's up with you guys?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're clearly trying to impress the guy, and I've seen the way he looks at you." Summer pointed out, "So why don't you just get together?"

"Summer, it's not that easy"

"Sure it is... just say, 'Hey, I like you' and he will be like 'Hey, I like you too' and you kiss him"

"No, I mean, he lives in Texas… It's just going to be hard when he leaves"

"Then you can't let him leave this time"

"Thanks, but I don't think it's going to work… We're better off as friends" Marissa said, "Hey, can we go now?" She really didn't want to have this conversation right now

"Yeh… sure" Summer said, and with that they left

Sandy just got home from work and was met by Kirsten in the kitchen.. He walked up to her an kissed her

"So… How's your day?" Sandy asked

"Fine… I've been here all day… Seth and Ryan went to the comic book store and… I'm not sure… probably the IMAX movie…" Kirsten said.. "But I hope it's okay that I called Ryan, isn't it"

"Oh yeh… But I just thought you didn't want him around Seth"

"Yeh… I didn't, it's just he's been so down since he left so I thought I'd surprise him… He's a good kid Sandy, I see that now"

"Yes, he is" Sandy said.. "He reminds me awful much about me when I was his age"

Kirsten smiled, "I haven't seen Seth so happy in a long time" She said

"Yeh, he's finally out of the house" Sandy teased. He walked up to Kirsten and kissed her, "We've finally got the house… all… to… our…selves" He said between kisses

Seth and Ryan were walking out of an IMAX movie, "Hey Ryan, What do you say about a balboa bar?"

"I don't know, maybe tomorrow… I was supposed to meet Marissa in…" He looks at his watch "Exactly 10 minutes"

"So, what's the deal between you two? Are you together or..?" Seth asked

"Uh, no.. we're just friends"

"I don't know, Ryan Atwood – friends with beautiful girls?" Seth pointed out

Ryan just looked at him and smiled

"So you like her, she likes you… so, what's the deal?"

Ryan glared at him… "Look, it's not that easy… It's just going to be harder then for me to leave"

"Look, my mom is like a total fan of yours now, so there's no way you're leaving… You can stay here with us"

"No" Ryan shouted, "I mean I can't… Look, we should head back" Ryan said

"Yeh ok" Seth said. He didn't want to argue with him so they headed back home

Seth was in the living room playing some PlayStation when there was a knock on the door, it was probably Marissa he thought and got the door.

He was right, but she wasn't alone, Summer was with her…

"Hello ladies" Seth said

"Hi" Marissa said and they both walked inside. "Where's Ryan?"

"He's in the Pool house"... He lied. He was in the shower, he had spilt some ice cream on himself, oh well, when they got home Seth got himself an ice cream and "accidentally" spilt it on him. "Just go in"

"Ok" And she walked off… "Summer… are you coming?"

"Uh, you go, I don't want to interrupt anything"

Marissa just looked at her "Fine" She said and walked off to the pool house.

She knocked lightly and opened the door… "Oh my god… sorry!" She said. She had just walked in on getting dressed. In fact he was there, only in his boxers

"It's okay… nothing you haven't seen before" He joked. He reached for a wife beater and some jeans

"Yeh, right" Marissa said ashamed… "Seth sent me in…"

"Figured" He said under his breath

"What did you say?" Marissa said confused

"Oh nothing" He was now fully clothed… "So… what do you want to do?"

"I don't know… Summer's here"

"She is?" Ryan asked

"Yeh, she's in the house with Seth… Maybe we can go to the movies or something with them?" Marissa suggested "If you want"

"Yeh that sounds great" He said and they walked off to the house

Meanwhile in the house:

"So, Summer… what are you doing here?" Seth said

"Oh, I was at Coop's and then she had to see Ryan and I didn't have my car so I figured I'd come with"

"Ok… If you don't want to be here I could give you a ride home… Because I think they would want to be alone"

"Yeh… thanks"

And with that Ryan and Marissa came in

"Hey, do you want to go with us to the movies?" Marissa said

"Yeh we'd love to" Seth said "Don't we Summer?"

"What?" Summer said. Seth gave her 'I-have-a-plan' look and Summer said "Oh yeah, I'd love to"

"Oook" Marissa said. "Oh, I forgot my purse in the pool house"

"Uh, ok let's go get it then" Ryan said "I have to get something there anyways" And with that they left

Summer slapped Seth's arm "What was that about?"

"Look, they both obviously like each other and should be together"

"Oh yeh… that's what I want too but they won't get together unless their alone"

"Yeh, that's why we have to go"

Summer just looked at him confused

"Oh yeh, the plan… Look, we go to the movies and convince them to go some horror movie, because then Marissa will be scared and will be in Ryan's arms and when we get there and have bought the tickets you say that you just remembered that you had to be somewhere and I'll give you a ride home. Marissa and Ryan have already bought the tickets and they go to the movie" He said, and just as he finished Marissa and Ryan came in…

"Hey, so should we go?" Marissa said

"Yes… I'll drive" Seth said

So how'd you like it? Please continue reviewing... or I wont continue... LOL
