Thanks for all the reviews!! I don't own any characters.

Ryan sighed as he entered the Cohen house. How was he going to do this? Marissa jumped up to greet him, "hey, what was that about?" she asked, referring to Theresa's and Ryan's conversation.
"Oh, nothing really," Ryan said quickly, "But guys, I think Seth had a good idea for once with the whole, Operation Maryether. I think we should start it tomorrow and the four of us will spend all day together, hanging out or whatever."
Seth leaped over to Ryan and slapped him on the back, "You have been converted!"
Marissa and Summer giggled and agreed. "What time should we meet up tomorrow?" asked Summer.
"I don't know, 11?" answered Ryan.
Seth shook his head, "I have a better idea. It's already after midnight so....." he tossed a pillow and blanket to Ryan and Marissa, and pulled Summer closer to him. "Good night". He finished.
The whole group smiled, "and your parents won't care when they wake up and see us all sleeping together?" asked Marissa.
Well, theres nothing like anxiety about teen orgies in the living room to get their ol' tickers pumping again." Seth replied as he settled in on the couch.
Marissa smiled as Ryan pulled her closer and the whole group settled down to sleep.

Theresa entered the kitchen shortly before nine the next morning before leaving for her last day at the bakery. When she saw the two very content couples asleep on the couches, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty about breaking that apart. She willed herself to ignore that, reminding herself that in less than 24 hours, Ryan would be back in Chino, with her, where they belonged.
Just then, Sandy and Kirsten entered the kitchen and smiled at Theresa, but then they noticed the four sleeping teenagers. Kirsten's mouth dropped in awe and she looked to see Sandy's reaction. Sandy broke into a grin and said, "Hon, do you realize that the same son of ours who talks to a plastic horse, is currently having a better sex life than me?!"
Then it was Kirsten's turn to break into a grin and she hit Sandy in the stomach, "Seriously Sandy, what should we do?"
"Make them breakfast!" he replied eagerly, "but I'll do all the cooking. Theresa, what would you like?" Theresa smiled at the Cohens, but she turned them down, "Sorry Mr. Cohen, but I really have to get to work. Thanks anyways, I'll talk to you tonight." Kirsten waved goodbye to Theresa who was heading out the door, and then turned back to the dozing teens. She couldn't help smile as she saw Seth's arm wrapped tightly around Summer, and Ryan's around Marissa. They had come so far since the beginning of the year, she never thought that Ryan would fill a void in her life that she didn't even knew she had.
All of a sudden, Sandy picked up an orange that was sitting in a basket on the counter, and threw it at Seth's head. "Son of a-" Seth replied sleepily, rubbing his head. With his movement, Summer also arouse. "Where am I?" She questioned while yawning, but then looked around and saw Seth stared back at her. "Oh yeah," Summer said again as she let her head drop to the pillow again.
"Seriously though," Seth continued, "What the hell was that?" Seth looked around and grinned when he saw his parents staring wide eyed back at him. "Oh, hey guys. Uh...Surprise?" Seth asked and his parents couldn't help but smile.
"Ok," Said Kirsten, "Party's over guys." She gently tapped Ryan with her foot. When Ryan refused to wake, Seth hurled the ball at his head." Ryan went to rub his head where the orange had hit him, but he accidentally elbowed Marissa in the face. Marissa groaned and Ryan looked shocked to find out that she was there. Seth and his parents were laughing while Summer hid underneath her pillow to block out the sound. It took Marissa and Ryan a minute to figure out what was going on, but then Ryan sheepishly grinned, "Oh, hey Sandy, Kirsten. Uh, sorry about this....we fell asleep."
Sandy laughed, "Yeah, we figured. Ok guys, now that everybody is up, who wants pancakes?" The group looked at each other unsure of what to say, "And, they were made by me, not Kirsten" Sandy said reassuringly. The group smiled and all agreed to have some.

"So," started Summer, "What are we going to do today? Will I have to shower, because I don't really want to."
"Well," answered Seth, "Why don't we hit the beach for a little while, high tide is in about an hour. After that we can go to 'Ride n Slide', it probably won't be crowded since its early in the summer."
"What's 'Ride n Slide'?" asked Ryan looking up from his pancakes.
"Its pretty cool actually," mumbled Marissa, her mouth full of pancakes, "It's basically a bunch of rides and then you can go paint balling, and mini golfing. I think they have go karts too."
"Yeah, that sounds awesome!" agreed Summer eagerly. "For dinner we can grab a meal at the Lobster Shack on the pier!"
"Hey Ryan, don't you work there?" asked Seth, looking up from his meal.
"Actually, I'm not really sure," answered Ryan, "I guess so, but the last time I worked was before Tijuana."
Marissa became a little quiet. She didn't like to be reminded of Tijuana. Her life was so messed up then, everything was good now, so there was no reason to think about TJ. Ryan gave Marissa's hand a little squeeze underneath the table and Marissa smiled at him. "Ok, so Summer to answer your question, I don't think you'll have to shower if we go to the beach first." Seth answered, trying to catch dripping syrup from his fork with his tongue. "But why don't we finish this and then get going." Seth suggested taking another heeping bite.
"Cohen, you're a pig."
"But an adorable pig right?"
Summer smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "Yeah, an adorable pig."

Ok, I know that chapter didn't have anything really exciting in it. It was basically just a set up chapter, but I update everyday...or maybe even more than that, so RELAX!!
