Hey guys, sorry its taken so long. As always, thanks for the reviews. Not
much more left! ( I don't own them, oh, except for Nicholas....but you can
steal him if you want, just a minor character.
Chapter 11
Summer and Ryan jumped into Summer's car quickly and sped to Summer's house. Once they got there, Summer led the way to the kitchen where there was a list of names and phone numbers on the fridge.
"What are all these names?" asked Ryan curiously, scanning the list.
"Oh, those are all the people who work for us." Summer pointed to the fifth person down on the list, "That's Nicholas, he's my dad's pilot."
Ryan stood stunned, "All of these people work for you guys?"
"Yes," Summer answered impatiently, "The first two are the maids, then our caterer, the pool guy, my dad's personal trainer, and I'm not sure who the rest are. Now close your mouth Chino. We've got stuff to do!"
Ryan shook his head and followed Summer.
The sun was lowering in the sky, and Seth and Marissa were preparing to bring Summer Breeze in for the night. They sailed to the coast of a small island, according to one of Seth's maps. The sea had become silent and the only sounds that could be heard was the bickering between Seth and Marissa.
"Are you even listening to yourself?!" Seth yelled at Marissa.
"Yes! You must be disturbed! Ben Folds clearly improved his music by dropping the band!" Marissa shouted back.
"Hah! The band behind him developed him into what kind of music he made! He sold out by dropping the rest of the guys!"
"Ok, the band did help him develop his music, but now that he's got that down, they were holding him back!"
"Please, Ben Folds dropping the Five is almost as bad as the plan to remake the Goonies."
"You don't think that the remake is gonna be good?"
"Ok, you are no longer worthy to argue with me if you think that the Goonies remake is a good idea."
"Oh my God Seth, you are so wrong." With that, Marissa shoved Seth into the shallow water near the shore. Seth swam under the boat and grabbed Marissa and pulled her in from the other side. Marissa screamed and splashed Seth and then slowly trudged on shore.
"Hey Nicholas? This is Summer. Do you think you could give me and a friend a lift to visit a friend?" Summer nodded, "Yeah, they are um...vacationing on a small island not too far from the coast. They know were coming. Please please puh-lease Nick!" Summer squealed, "Thank you so much! We'll see you at 8."
Ryan shook his head and smiled as Summer hung up the phone. "Do you always get what you want?"
Summer smiled, "If we find Coop and Cohen, then yes, I do."
"This look like a good place to camp?" Seth asked Marissa lying down their stuff.
"You mean, as opposed to anywhere else on this beach, where everything looks exactly the same?"
Seth laughed sarcastically, "Oh Marissa, I knew there was a reason you came....you're humor!"
Marissa rolled her eyes and laid back in the sand. "Seth, are you sure were allowed to be here? What if this isn't a public island?"
"They all are. It's legal to sleep on the beach. I googled it."
"Oh, well if you googled it..." Marissa closed her eyes peacefully. "I don't know why I'm so tired. All we did was sit in a boat all day."
"You ready to turn in?" asked Seth as he pulled out two damp blankets from Summer Breeze's cargo."
Marissa nodded, "Oh and Seth?"
"Yeah?"
"The Goonies remake is going to turn on a whole new audience to this genre of movies!"
Seth sat up and began to angrily debate with Marissa.
"So do you think you can do it Nicholas?!" Summer asked hopefully as she watched Nicholas scan her map and plot out the circled island.
"Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem, I think I've even flown there before. You said you have friends vacationing there?"
Summer nervously glanced at Ryan, "Yes?" she answered unsure of why Nicholas sounded skeptical.
"Summer, I've known you since you were a baby. Lets try that again. Why are you going to this island?"
Summer sighed, "Nick, our two best friends sailed there because Ryan left. Ryan came back, and found me, and we need to get them back! This is the summer before senior year! We need them!"
Nicholas looked at Ryan who nodded, and then rolled his eyes and reached in his pocket. "Summer, here is my number, you call me if anything happens, plus, here's some cash. You're dad can pay me back. But, my only concern is, are you sure you want to go in the night?"
Summer nodded eagerly, and then she and Ryan broke into smiles and Summer began, "Thank you SO much Nick! When do you think we can leave?"
Nicholas looked at the map again. "It should only be like, a 30 minute flight, so why don't you give me an hour to plan our route and think about how a 17 year old girl got me wrapped so tightly around her finger."
Summer smiled, "Thanks so much Nick!!"
"Ah yes, that's how." Nicholas replied shooing Ryan and Summer off to the other room as he went into the kitchen.
"Chino, I'm just going to grab some things from my room, you can help me decide what to bring."
Ryan entered Summer's room cautiously, but he wasn't sure why. "Summer, what's going to happen if we find them?"
Summer shrugged, "I don't really care. I just want to find them. I mean, the only reason they left is because you did, so now that you're back, they should have no reason not to come home."
Ryan nodded slowly, "but what if, I mean, what if they are having a good time? I mean, I don't think that Marissa or Seth would be too eager to return to Newport."
Summer threw down the sunglasses she was putting in a bag and marched up to Ryan, "Don't tell me you're wimping out on me Chino. I will go without you if I have to, but to be honest, it would be more fun to go with you." Summer went back to packing her things. "Plus, its ridiculous to assume that they could be having fun. I'm not there am I?"
Ryan rolled his eyes, "I swear Summer, you are getting to be more like Seth all the time."
"Yeah, it rubs off."
Seth stirred in his sleep. He sat up groggily, "God, Marissa sure is a snorer, huh?" he asked Captain Oats who was nestled between himself and Marissa. Seth checked his watch, it really wasn't even that late. It was only a little after midnight. Seth got up and stretched his legs. He looked down at Captain oats who also, was awake. "I know buddy, I should have asked you if you were ready to leave Princess Sparkle. You guys seemed pretty attached." Seth walked down to the shore and sat with his feet in the water. He once again let his mind wonder.
Ryan carried Summer's enormous bag to the car while she struggled with another one. "Summer, I'm putting my foot down. You have to pick a bag. You only get one, this is ridiculous!"
"Ryan, I'll put my foot somewhere else, if you don't shut up and help me."
"Wow, Seth wasn't kidding about those rage black outs." Ryan muttered as he helped Summer with her second bag.
"Cohen says I need no embellishment." The ride to the garage where the helicopter was only a few miles and they once again struggled to get Summer's bags out of the car. Nicholas pointed to the stairs. "You guys have to go wait on the roof, I'll be up with the chopper in a few minutes."
"Stairs..." Ryan muttered as he fought the battle against Summer's luggage.
"Fine Chino, you win. I guess I only need this one." Summer pointed to one of the bags and let Ryan put the other back in her car.
Ryan and Summer walked up the stairs to the roof and waited patiently for Nicholas to arrive. They heard the helicopter before they saw it. It pounded their ear drums to the core and then they began to feel the wind of it. Summer pulled on Ryan's shirt, motioning that they had to crotch down. As the helicopter landed the two wearily climbed into the back seat and prepared for it to take off. As the helicopter began lifting in the sky, Ryan and Summer both stared out their windows, if Newport was pretty usually, it was nothing compared to what it looked like from above.
The flight was pretty quiet, except for the ear shattering drone of the blades cutting through the air. After about 25 minutes, Nicholas turned on his headset and began talking with Summer. "Summer, this is it. I'm going to fly down a little bit and see if we can see your friends anywhere."
Summer looked out the window, "This is the island?" She shouted to Ryan, "but it looks so big! It didn't look this big on the map!"
"Summer..." Ryan started, but Summer cut him off, "Yeah, I know, that was stupid shut up."
Ryan chuckled and looked out his window. He heard Nicholas's voice in his earphones again, "You guys think that they would be by the shore right?" Ryan confirmed and then they began to circle the island, looking for their friends.
"What the hell?" asked Seth out loud as he saw a helicopter flying very low. "What is going on?" The helicopter was now low enough so that he could feel the wind from it. It was causing a huge racket, and Seth looked over to Marissa who amazing, was still asleep.
"Oh my God!" Summer exclaimed, "There they are!!" She tugged on Ryan's sleeve excitedly, "Nicholas, can you land here?!"
Ryan quickly turned his headset on and said, "No Nicholas, can you land maybe a mile or so down?"
"Aren't these your friends though?" asked Nicholas confused.
"Yeah, but I think it would be a whole lot more fun if they didn't know we were here."
Summer smiled and said, "Yeah, can you take us about a mile down?"
