Rated: PG-13...It's better to be safe than sorry...
Summary: I got very lax in updating after the first couple of chapters and a lot of things have happened that I need to work into the mix. Basically it's a Seth/Summer pairing, Anna's just there to make things interesting...lol. Enjoy!
A Brand New Day (Chapter 4)
"Hey! You can't do that!" Seth cried, punching the buttons on his controller with such fervor that his shoulders even leaned in the directions his character moved on the screen.
Anna laughed evilly, watching as the little Donkey Kong that Seth was powering exploded and flew off the tiny floating island they were battling on. "The beauty of being Kirby is his flying power. You can't ask me not to take advantage," she said with a smile.
He took a fraction of a second to send a withering stare her way, but she took the initiative and threw another bomb at DK, sending him to the grave once more. With a frustrated growl, Seth said, "Well, in Smash Brothers-ology, it is an understood rule that Kirby should hover lower so Donkey Kong can at least commit with it! Why not jump into the fray, Miss Confidence?"
Looking over at him she smiled, slowly lowering Kirby to the huge ape's level...before throwing a box at him and killing its last life. Anna valiantly suppressed her laughter as she watched his mouth drop open and his controller slip out of his hands while he watched her little bubble accept the trophy. "Why so quiet, Seth?"
Seth turned to face her and sneered briefly before offering his hand in concession. "Good match, Anna. But just remember, you may have won this game, but there will be others."
She threw her head back and laughed, causing a huge grin to over take his features. Anna was so beautiful, partly because she was usually chuckling or smiling. She made him feel good, which was an incredibly rare sensation in itself.
"So," he said, leaning his arm on the couch cushion and his head against his hand, "How was your trip, anyway? I forgot to ask."
She sighed and her eyes drifted shut for a few moments as she was drawn back. "Oh, Seth, Tahiti was incredible. The sunsets there...I've never seen anything so beautiful in my entire life." Her warm brown eyes rose and slammed into his as she smiled. "One day, you and I will sail down. Just us and the open ocean. You'll love it."
Sitting upright, he jokingly clapped his hands together and said, "I'm game, let's go!" Rising to his feet, he humored her bubbling laughter and paused. "Wait! Are we going to take your yacht or mine?"
She reached out her hands to him and he helped her to her feet. Still giggling, she replied, "Hold on, Huck. Wow, I don't think I've laughed that hard in a while." Anna looked up at him, her natural pink lips quirked into a half-smile, and ruffled his hair. "You're one hell of a guy, Seth Cohen."
"And you're pretty awesome yourself, Anna Stern," he replied. Seth couldn't tell if it was the unstable California dirt shifting beneath them or her, but she was moving closer and closer by the second.
Like watching the scene in slow motion, he felt their lips connect in a quick kiss. It wasn't desperate or furious, but nice. He could hardly stop the grin that crossed his face afterwards, but Anna bolted, throwing a quick "Good bye" over her shoulder as she ran out the front door, slamming it behind her.
"The perfect ending to the perfect day," he said shaking his head as he sat down on the couch and flipped on the TV, watching as news came in on a mudslide in San Diego, the Govonator's latest speech full of fun Austrian pronunciations, and a Golden Retriever mowing its owner's lawn in Venice Beach. Shaking his head, he sighed with a smile, "Good, it's not just me."
