okay, yes i realized it would probably take longer for Summer to cool down. and i'm sorry i sorta sped that up. but mainly, right now. Summer is actually kind of in shock and the whole situation hasn't really soaked in for her yet. As for Ryan, I figured because he was in the same situation with Theresa eariler...He'd be a little more understanding of it all. But, dont get me wrong,they aren't over it yet. That will take some time for them to heal. They just realize that the past is done and they can't change it. But ya'll probably know how they'd really react in the show if it happend. As for the parentals (Julie and Jimmy) I'll add an extra chapter with them in it. I forgot to do that originally. Thank you to Dogsbody for reminding me! you rock!

Marissa and Seth were asleep in the motel. Suddenly, Marissa awoke, sweaty and shaky and out of breath. She had a dream about Ryan. This one was way intense. It was in the future, her and Seth were married and had three kids. One day Seth went to work and never came home. She got a call at three in the morning that Seth was in a bad accident and that he was dead. Her and Ryan were at the funeral. Then Ryan came over to Marissa and kissed her, she kissed him back. Then, Ryan's wife died and him and Marissa started dating again and soon Seth and Ryan'd wife were forgotten. Ryan and Marissa got married and had a great life together. they had another kid.Then, Ryan took off leaving her a note.The note said that he loved her but what Seth and her did 8 years ago will never be forgotten by Ryan. He loved her and told her that the great life she and Ryan had now would have been even better had Seth not have gotten her pregnant when she was 16.It also said that he wasn't ever coming back. He said this is what she gets for her actions in the past, him leaving her.Then that's when Marissa woke up

She started to cry, because the dream scared her. She was deciding whether she should wake Seth up or not. She decided not to trouble him.

"Marissa? Why are you crying?" Seth asked her from his spot on the floor.

"You're awake, I'm sorry I woke you. Never mind about me just go back to sleep" She said through sobs.

"Marissa, you know if you tell me you're alright and you're crying when you say it, I know you're lying so just tell me what's up. Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yeah, I..had a nightmare."

"Want to tell me about it?"

"Yeah, ok."

Marissa told Seth about her dream and after she was done, Seth just looked at her with wide eyes.After all, what Marissa said happened in her dream was just too scary for him to think of anything.

"So.What do you think it means?"Seth finally asked her.

"What do you mean what it means? Dreams don't always mean something will automatically happen. It meant nothing"

"Nope,not true. I think what your subconscience is trying to tell you is that, we are all gonna move on eventually and you don't want to forget your feelings for Ryan. Marissa it's ok, I understand your feelings for Ryan. Those are what my feelings are like for Summer. God, I miss her!"

"So what should we do about this?"

"Well, let's just sit back concentrate on the baby we're having and stop thinking so much about the past. it happened already. Let's focus now on the future. Plus, who knows? maybe someday, you'll end up falling madly in love with me and we'll kiss passionately all day long!" Seth said jokingly, at least he thinks he was just joking.

"Ok. Seth you know what?"

"Hmmm?"

"You have great advice, you should become a psychiatrist!"

"Ohh thank you, Marissa for realizing my true potential. No! I don't want to earn tons of money sitting on my butt all day listening to alot of rich people complain about how rich they are! Not my idea of a career,sweetie!now good-night!" Seth let the 'sweetie' word slip. But he was too tired to even notice it. Marissa however noticed it.

Marissa layed there in her bed, thinking of what Seth just said. It made her shiver when he called her sweetie.

'What the hell is wrong with me? I'm not supposed to like him! I'm not! he's just a good friend. NOTHING MORE!' Marissa said to herself, over and over again. As if trying to convince herself. 'This is just too strange.'

Could she actually be liking Seth? NO!She still loves Ryan! But, she can't do anything about her love for Ryan. They will never be together now. Unless Seth was right,some version of that dream could happen someday. But, hopefully it will end in a happy ending.

Seth went to the bathroom and sat in the chair by the window,across from Marissa's bed watching her as she slept. She makes him feel good about himself, even when she's insulting him a little. Could he be liking Marissa? as in more than just friends? Could he be falling the teensiest bit in love with her? No! He loves Summer, but where is she right now? probably out with a jock right now. Besides even though he's in love with Summer, he can't do anything about it now. Oh well, he thought as he got back down to the floor to sleep

to alm: im sorry about this being a marissa-seth story. i myself like seth and summer together on the show more also.they r sooo cute together! but i just wanted a different story out there instead of the usual Summer getting pregnant and running away (dont get me wrong, i LOVE those stories. they r very good). hope u understand. but i did like ur idea. lol, very creative.
