Everyone had returned home and were watching tv, Summer was sitting on the floor waiting to hear news of Seth while Ryan and Marissa were cuddled up on the couch.

Marissa: "I can't believe you're back, life can't get any better."

Summer: "Hello.... Coop! I'm happy for you and all but I still have a missing Seth to be found."

Ryan: "Sorry Summer, I'm sure Seth will come up in a day or two, he can't survive without pudding and Playstation."

The conversation had been broken up by the ringing of Summer's cell phone.

Summer: "Hello, oh hi daddy how's your trip? What! You found who?!"

Dad: "Hold on I'll put him on."

Seth: "Hey Summer, how's it going?" (Asking cautiously, expecting Summer to explode at any moment.)

Summer: "Cohen where have you been! And why are you with my dad?"

Seth: "Well he kinda, sorta, well rescued me. I must really look like a real man now."

Summer: "Do you know how scared you made me, get home right now!"

Seth: "Ok, ok I'll have your dad drop me off at the next port."

Summer: "Well he's coming back, thank god he's ok, my dad had to "save" him."

Marissa: "So are you two going to be ok?"

Summer: "We've gone through too much to quit over something like this, but if he thought those few months of no sex were bad before wait till he gets back, he won't have any till he's 30!!!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Summer and the Cohen's went off to pick up Seth, leaving Marissa and Ryan to have some alone time.

Marissa: "Thank god we have some time to ourselves, we haven't really made out in awhile you know." (Smiling)

Ryan: "I don't know Marissa, the doctor told me to take it easy," (Giving a little grin).

Marissa playfully grabbed a pillow to beat him with.

Ryan: "But of course we can always make exceptions!"

They curled up together and made out on the couch until both were exhausted, they then fell asleep in each others arms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking into the house.

Summer: "Seth if you ever do something like that I'm going to kill you and my dad won't be around to save you."

Seth: "Ok, get it wasn't the smartest, next time I'll take a train or something."

Summer gives Seth a killing look

Seth: "Kidding, kidding"

Summer: "So what did you and my dad do during those few hours together?"

Seth: "Summer I don't think I should talk about my male bonding time, the time between a boy and his girlfriends' dad is sacred."

Summer lightly hits him in the stomach.

Seth: "Ok, we'll you know we talked about girls, kicked back had a few brew skies."

Summer gives him a "yeah right" look

Seth: "Right... ok, really, he was mad that I had left, didn't help show that I would be a good guy in your life, he said I proved I would abandon in tough times after stating that there was 5 hours of uncomfortable silence."

Summer: "Well it sounds like you had your punishment, how bad was it out there?"

Seth: It was tough, Captain Oats didn't make it.

At that point both of them noticed Ryan and Marissa on the couch.

Seth: "Great I'm coming back from my conquering quest, a returning hero, a survivor, and this is the greeting I get, two sleeping people. Ryan... RYAN!!!"

Ryan and Marissa stirred up.

Ryan: "Oh hey man, how's it going?"

Seth: "Oh nothing just had a shipwreck, almost died, lost Captain Oats...."

Summer: "Enough with Oats!"

Seth: "Ok, well what's up with you?"

Ryan: "Hmm, had a car crash, almost died as well, found out Theresa had already gotten rid of the baby,"

Seth: "Cool, cool, Ryan I do believe we've had some traumatic last few days and we deserve some pudding, Summer could you get me some pudding?"

Ryan: "Ya Marissa, pudding would be nice...."

Summer and Marissa grab nearby pillows and beat on the guys

Seth: "Hey be nice were fragile!"
