The Next Day

The Sun was shining brightly, high in the sky. Kirsten thought it would be a good day for Seth to get Ryan out of the Pool house. She walked up to the door and knocked. Surprising, Seth didn't answer. She turned the knob and walked into his room.

She was shocked! Seth's clothes were lying all over the floor, and not just his. She saw Captain Oats lying on the floor too. She turned to his bed, she was utterly stunned.

Seth was lying, completely naked under his blanket… with Summer! She never thought that she would walk in on Seth like this. Instead of waking him, she left quietly.

Kirsten walked out to the kitchen. Sandy was pouring himself coffee. Her eyes were wide, and her hands shaking. Sandy turned to her.

"What's wrong, Hunny?"

She waited a moment before replying, "I just saw Seth, our son, in bed with Summer!"

Sandy just acted like it was no big deal. He walked over to Kirsten and gave her his coffee. He could only smile. Seth had come to him when it had first happened. He had forgotten to tell or talk to Kirsten about it, he knew he was dead.

"He was going to have it happen sometime," said Sandy resting his hand on her shoulder, "and you might not want to go into the Pool house."

Kirsten looked up at Sandy, distressed, "Theresa?"

"No," Sandy replied happily. "Actually he's with Marissa."

Kirsten let out a sigh, she couldn't believe that just a few weeks ago, neither of her boys were doing this, and now both her boys were sleeping with girls! It was too much for her to take.

Sandy grabbed the phone and handed to her Kirsten. She just gave him an odd look as she tried to figure out what she was going to do with the phone.

"Spa," is all Sandy had to say.

Ryan opened his eyes. Marissa was laying in front of him. It hadn't been a dream, she had come back. He had his arms wrapped around her, she was cuddling into him, pressing against his chest. He could just smile and ran his fingers through her hair.

"Ryan?" Marissa asked, just now waking up.

Ryan leaned over and kissed her cheek, "Morning, Sunshine."

Marissa snuggled closer to Ryan yet. She didn't want him to get up, she wanted to stay in his arms forever. He took the hint and hugged her tighter as the snuggled.

"Hungry?" asked Ryan

"Sort of," she replied.

"I'll take a shower first," Ryan said, "then I will make you breakfast."

Marissa just smiled. Ryan got up and grabbed his clothes for the day and entered the bathroom. Marissa got up, looked through Ryan's clothes and grabbed one of his wife beaters. She tossed it onto the bed, followed by the rest of her clothes. She grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom. There was already steam from the shower. She smiled, let the towel to the floor, and opened the door to the shower…

"Seth?" asked Summer, finally awake.

"Huh?" is all the still-sleeping Seth could reply with.

"I'm glad we're together," Summer said with a smile.

Cohen finally got up on his knees from laying on his stomach, smiled the best he could do to the tired factor, "Me too."

After a few minutes Summer finally asked, "What ever got you to even talk to me?"

"Ryan,"

"Chino? Really?"

"Yep!"

"Remind me to thank him someday," Summer said smiling, and then kissing Seth.

"We should get up," Seth said suddenly. "My mom is probably freaked out I'm not up yet."

"As long as we can take a shower," said Summer, a mischievous smile crossing her face.

Seth smiled, "Fine by me, Princess."

They grabbed towels and rushed out of his room. They hurried to the bathroom in fear of the parents seeing them. They weren't seen, luckily. Seth got the water going, and closed the door, throwing his towel to the other side. Summer smiled, threw hers over the divider, and joined Seth…
