Thanks for the reviews! DON'T WORRY ABOUT SM AND RS! THAT WOULD BE
GROSS!! I don't own O.C or Green Lantern. These chapters are a little
more coincidental than I would like...but I can't figure out a good way to
reunite the four.
Chapter 10 – The Green Lantern
Summer and Ryan reached Newport in about half the time it took Summer to drive to Chino. They braked in the Cohen's driveway and rushed inside. It had been a quiet car ride home, Summer and Ryan were both thinking about other people. Ryan slammed the Cohen's door behind him and Sandy and Kirsten jumped in the kitchen!
"Ryan!" Kirsten shouted happily!
"And Summer?!" Sandy included. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Ok" started Ryan, "I'm going to give you the short story because were in a hurry. Basically, Theresa was lying about the baby so she could get me back. Once I found that out I called Summer to pick me up and found out that Seth and Marissa had gone to Tahiti. But, the only reason that they went to Tahiti was because I left, so now that I'm back we are going to go find them!" Ryan and Summer left the kitchen and went to Seth's bedroom leaving Kirsten and Sandy stunned in the kitchen.
"So how much did you know about Seth's plan to go to Tahiti?" Ryan asked Summer.
"Not much, he mentioned that he wanted to spend two weeks in Tahiti and 'soak it up' something. Oh, and he said that he wanted to visit this place, but I can't remember what it was."
"That's great Summer." Ryan said sarcastically.
"What do you expect? He was talking during The Valley! Plus, apparently, you know him better than I do Chino....so shut up!" Summer hit Ryan playfully and smiled. Ryan started rummaging through the clutter of things in Seth's desk. He ruffled through CDs, records, comic books, and Magic cards, until he found a drawer that was devoted to Tahiti! Ryan was shocked with his luck and didn't know that Seth had this planned for so long. Ryan pulled out a map first and read that Tahiti was about 320 miles from Newport. "Ok, Seth mentioned to me that it would take him about 42 days to make a round trip." Summer interrupted him, "So, 42 minus 14, because he wanted to spend two weeks in Tahiti. So that's 28, so divide that by two and that's 14. So, it will take him approximately 14 days to sail 320 miles, so that's.....about 23 miles a day, and they've been gone for two and a half days, which means they've sailed 57.5 miles." Ryan stared at Summer blankly. "What?!" Summer asked. "Just because I'm pretty doesn't mean I'm stupid Chino!" Ryan broke into a smile, "Ok! Sorry!" Ryan looked on the map he pointed to a small cluster of islands, "According to your math tomorrow night, they'll spend the night on this island." Ryan looked up at Summer and smiled, "I think were actually going to find them."
Summer sighed and collapsed onto Seth's bed. "So" Ryan started, "What are you going to do when we find them?" "Before or after I kick Seth's ass for leaving me here alone?" Ryan grinned, "Hey you can't be mad...I mean, I left, and I'm hard to get over!" Summer rolled her eyes and hit Ryan in the stomach, "You're starting to sound like Cohen. I love him, but one Seth is plenty." Ryan smiled but was quiet for a minute, "You love him?" Summer was silent, but she nodded. "A lot." She whispered.
Seth and Marissa were sitting on opposite sides of Summer Breeze. Seth was flipping through Marissa's CD case, and Marissa was braiding Captain Oats' mane. It had been quite for a long time now; Marissa and Seth were both content. Marissa eventually broke the silence, "What are you going to do when we get back to Newport? With Summer I mean." Seth didn't look up, "Before or after she kicks my ass for leaving her?" Marissa broke into a smile, "How mad do you think she's going to be?" "See, I can handle her being mad, because I can woo her. I'm an excellent wooer. I just hope she understands." Marissa nodded and continued on Captain Oats' mane. "Seth?" "Hm." "Why Tahiti? I mean, of all the places, why Tahiti?" Once again, Seth didn't look up, "Series 1 volume 12 of 'The Green Lantern.' You see, his power bar was so low, that he had no chance of defeating his arch nemesis, so he escaped to his secret lab in Tahiti to refill and enhance his abilities." Marissa rolled her eyes, "Do you mean to tell me that this whole escape for you was based on a comic book?" Seth sighed and looked up at Marissa, "Marissa, think on different levels! 'The Green Lantern' was my metaphor of life! Harbor and Newport are my arch nemesis, and with Ryan gone, it's like my power bar is empty. I need to get away for a little while, and refill." Seth expected Marissa to bust out laughing, but she remained quiet. "Was I a nemesis of yours?" Seth smiled, "You and Luke were 'The Penguin' and 'Cat Woman' in my world. You two represented everything I wasn't, everything that I couldn't be a part of, and everybody who ignored me." Marissa looked down, "I'm sorry Seth." "It's ok. I'm happy with everything now. You and Summer have both changed." Marissa smiled and they became silent again.
"Ok," Ryan said. "How are we going to get to this island? It's too small to fly to, but if we sail there then we won't catch up." Summer shrugged, "It's no problem, my dad has his own helicopter because he travels so much. This week, he's only in San Diego, so he drove. That means that the 'copter's available."
