Road Trip
This is a story of the OC gang; Ryan Atwood, Marissa Cooper, Summer Roberts, Seth Cohen, Anna Stern, and Luke Ward go on a road trip. Keep in mind, that this doesn't follow too much with the actual story-line of the FOX TV Show (but does refer to it sometimes), so this fanfic can sustain some chapters without having to change due to changes in the storyline on TV. This is definitely a tale of 2/3 triangles. Ryan/Marissa/Luke, Seth/Summer/Anna, Seth/Summer/Ryan. They are going on a road trip to Vegas and back, just before school starts. Watch, as their feelings unfold.
Disclaimer: I don't own the OC, it belongs to FOX! =)
Author's Note: The rating will come for future chapters. =) And this fanfic was inspired by a late night conversation with a friend of mine. Now, go eat a cantaloupe, and enjoy the trip.

Seth Cohen got up at dawn. He was so excited, he would be in car freakin' car with 2 of the best girls he's ever known in his life; Anna Stern, the girl he most relates to and finds very intriguing and Summer Roberts, whom he often lusts over.
"I just hope I don't do something totally embarrassing, like display my kick-ass raver moves and, like, smack Summer in the boobs." Seth muttered to himself.
Either way he was so stoked to be sitting beside them, or at least breathe the same air-conditioned air as them. He began jamming some comics into his bag and he quickly stashed a game boy into the front pocket. He might want to use it and battle Anna on hers later.
"Now what should I bring to wear?" He asked himself.
He considered some of his classic tees like his "I'm with Stupid" t-shirts or those "I'm a bomb technician, if you see me running, try to keep up" t-shirts. But he decided he wanted to impress Summer so he got his plain "slimming" polo t-shirts out. He stuffed some more clothing in his bag, and changed his mind of bringing his Scooby-Doo pajama bottoms.
A few hours later, in the Cohen pool house, Ryan Atwood yawned and gazed lazily at the streaming sunlight coming into his window. He remembered that today was the big road trip that Marissa planned and invited him and Seth along to come with. He slowly got up, and got ready. Ryan was fine with being friends with Marissa, but that didn't stop him having feelings for her. In fact, he really wanted to be close to Marissa, and he couldn't deny those feelings he had when he was waltzing with her at the Cotillion. Personally for him, that was one of the best nights of his life. But unfortunately for him, she wasn't his, she was Luke's.
At the Cooper household, Marissa had a ton of clothes strewn across her bed. She couldn't decide what to bring along on the trip. The phone rang in her bedroom.
"Hello?" she said.
"Hey beautiful. I just wanna know when I'm supposed to come to your
house." Luke answered.
"Oh hey Luke. Yeah, just come around 11, ok? Now I gotta go, get ready. Bye!"
she clicked off.
Lately, things have been rocky with Luke. Ever since Ryan came into the scene Luke only got more jealous. Couldn't he see that they were just friends? However, Marissa couldn't mistake that tingly-blood-rushing-to-her-cheeks-feeling she got whenever Ryan was around. There was something about that boy, something she made her act a certain way when he was around. Whenever he was around, she didn't really care what others thought or even more so her friends. Something came out of her whenever he was around. And it was something good, too.
Anna Stern glanced at herself in the mirror and she was set. Comics, Game boy, and numerous "statement" tees with different insignias like, "Dump Him" or "Idaho? No, Udaho." were in her bag, ready to go. She even had her Powerpuff Girl pajama pants along to go with her on the road trip. She was excited, because she had finally met some people with the same interests as her and weren't as stuck up as some people she had met, especially Seth Cohen. She could tell that there was more than what meets the eye with Seth. Underneath the sarcastic, cynical, and joker façade, she could tell Seth was just another guy, wanting to be accepted by the majority of this stereotypical-rich-neighborhood environment, even though he'd never admit to it. She'd be the girl to show him that nothing is ever what it seems, and sometimes, perfection isn't always perfect. Or, as she'd like to put it, "brunettes with a good pair of knockers aren't always "sailing-to-Tahiti" worthy".
"Oh well, we ALL can't be perfect." She sighed, saying it to her reflection.
Summer Roberts was stoked to go to Vegas with her best girlfriend, even though it meant staying within 1 meter of that Sunny-Sammy-Sid boy, breathing in her air. Whatever. Like, she didn't want to waste her valuable time thinking about it. As she put her bag together she folded some of her cute miniskirts and v-neck type shirts into her cute bag. She couldn't wait to go out.
Luke pulled some of his classic puka shell necklaces into his bag, along with his button up shirts. He knew he looked good in them, like a hot Abercrombie and Fitch model. He threw in some more essentials like a shaver, moisturizer, and cleanser. Just because he was boy didn't mean that he washes his face with nothing other than soap. He grabbed some more clothing and he was set to go.
At exactly 11 o'clock everyone met up at Marissa's driveway.
"Is everybody ready?" Marissa exclaimed, rather than asked.
"Yeah!" Seth yelled, albeit a bit louder than what was expected, punching his
fist in the air.
Ryan just smiled an uncertain smile, Summer looked a little annoyed, and Anna
just sat back and smiled at Seth's outburst.
"Alrighty! Who wants to drive first?" Marissa asked,
looking directly at Luke. Luke, taking the hint, volunteers.
"Fiiiine. I will. Let's get this show on the road." He said.
'As long as Marissa stays in the front seat, then I'm good. No where near that Chino guy, then I'll be ok.' He thought to himself.
They all piled into the minivan, with Luke and Marissa in the front, Anna and Summer in the middle, and Seth and Ryan at the back. With that, they sped off, heading towards the Highway.
