I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know...

Ryan and Marissa got back from taking Theresa to the airport at around 11 o'clock, that morning. They pulled up to the Cohen's driveway and got out of the car, racing each other to the front door. They both knew that this was kind of childish, but they had that strange affect on each other, that made them do unpredictable things. Just before opening the door to the Cohen's house Ryan leaned into Marissa giving her a quick, yet passionate kiss on the lips. She smiled, and took his hand as they entered the huge house.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

"Hey," Seth greeted them as they walked in the door. He was sitting on the couch in the big, open family room with Summer right next to him.

"Hey guys, I'm so glad you are back...Cohen was boring the hell out of me, talking about Princess Sparkles, his fake plastic horse." Summer said, desperately.

"Oh yeah, I've heard a lot about the little plastic horse, too." Ryan said, as he tried to hold back laughter.

"Who do you two think you are, talking bad about Princess Sparkles and me?" Seth asked with disbelief. "At least I have Marissa on my side." he finished. Then, he looked over at Marissa..."Right?"

"Well, actually Seth it is a little weird that you talk to a fake horse!" she replied.

Seth frowned after hearing this. "Well I guess my friends don't respect me! So, me and Princess Sparkles are just going to go take a ride on Summer Breeze." he spat back at them, while picking up his plastic horse and heading out the front door.

"Oh he'll be back," Summer said as Ryan and Marissa sat down on the couch. "Until then who's up for play station?" she asked.

"Oh I'll play!" Marissa cheered.

"Well, I guess I will too," Ryan replied.

"Great," Summer said as she walked over to the play station. Just as she sat back on the couch and they were about to play, Seth walked in the door.

"Well, aren't you guys coming?" he asked, rather frustrated.

Ryan, Marissa and Summer all looked at each other and smiled. Then, they got up off the couch and followed Seth out the door.

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear...

I've found a reason for me

At the Dock

Ryan, Seth, Summer and Marissa arrived at the dock and walked down to where Summer Breeze floated in the water. They all piled onto the fairly small sailboat and Seth took the ropes and got the sailboat moving swiftly through the water.

"Summer, will you hold Princess Sparkles for me?" Seth asked, breaking the silence.

"Sure...Cohen." she said reluctantly, taking the plastic horse from him.

As Summer held Princess Sparkles in her hands, Marissa sat on Ryan's lap. He stroked her hair softly as they sailed across the glistening ocean.

To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

Once they had gotten to a calm spot in the ocean, Seth slowly let go of the ropes and sat down on Summer's lap. "Cohen, you're to heavy," Summer whined as she got up from underneath him. As she was doing this she loosened her grip on Princess Sparkles and the horse fell into the cool water. 'Oh shit' she thought to herself, 'what should I do?'

Seth saw his horse floating away in the water...Then, all of a sudden he heard a splash...Summer was in the water swimming towards the plastic horse. Seth jumped in after her and swam over to where she was, "The things I do for you Cohen," Summer said as Seth kissed her on the lips.

Then, Ryan picked up Marissa and jumped into the water. After, coming back up to the surface Marissa yelled at Ryan, "What was that for?"

"For fun!" he replied with a smile as he wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her passionately and after a minute they pulled apart with smiles on their faces.

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

The couples got back on the boat after a few minutes and then sailed off into the sunset.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

Back at the Cohen's

Seth and Summer headed upstairs to Seth's bedroom to change clothes and dry off.

Meanwhile, Ryan and Marissa went out to the pool house to do the same.

The Pool House

Once inside the pool house Ryan got Marissa a white wife beater and a pair of boxers as he did the same for himself. Once they changed into dry clothes they laid down on the bed. Ryan scooted closer to Marissa and they kissed passionately. Then, Marissa wrapped her arms around Ryan and whispered, "Night, Babe... I love you too."

"I love you too Marissa...more than you know," he whispered before falling asleep himself.

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you.
