Ryan awoke the next morning to Seth standing over my bed.

Ryan: "What the hell?"

Seth: "Hey buddy!"

Ryan: "It's too early Seth,"

Seth: "Well this being your real birthday and all I thought we'd go out, since last night was kinda a disaster,"

Ryan: "I don't really feel up to it today," (Not wanting to have to talk to Marissa about what happened)

Seth: "You know by we I mean just you and me?,"

Ryan: "I'll get dressed.... So where we going?

Seth: "Thought we'd go down to the crab shack... treat you to some lobster, maybe some pudding? I know you like it simple,"

Ryan: "Nice, let's go now, I don't really want to talk to anyone else,"

With that they were off towards the pier, Seth skateboarding along and Ryan riding his bike, like the old days.

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

Marissa and Summer came over to the Cohen house.

Kristen: "Hello girls, do you have all the stuff for the party?"

Marissa: "In the car, is Ryan around?"

Kristen: "Actually no, I havn't seen him or Seth all morning, I guess they went out somewhere"

Summer: "Wow the boys going somewhere without us, this is new," (Giving a slight laugh)

Sandy walks up.

Sandy: "Hey girls, all ready to set up the party,"

Summer: "Yes Mr. C we are, we got everything we need,"

Sandy: "Look you guys, last night was a disaster let's be careful today with what we plan and do,"

Marissa: "I just can't believe my mom would do all that on his birthday,"

Kirsten: "Honey it's not your fault, your mom is just...your mom,"

Marissa: "Ya but I feel like Ryan's mad at me, last night he seemed so distant,"

Summer: "After this party he'll get over it, now move people!"

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

Ryan and Seth are sitting in front of eaten lobsters (Like in episode 5)

Ryan: "No matter how many times I have it, still good,"

Seth: "Oh my god, I'm going to explode,"

Ryan: "Good then you won't have room for pudding,"

Seth: "Ryan, you should know by now, I always have room for pudding,"

They start walking down the pier to get some pudding.

Seth: "Isn't that Luke,"

Ryan: "Oh man, I don't think he'll want to talk to me right now,"

Luke looks up and sees them.

Luke: "Hey guys," (Sheepishly)

Ryan: "Hey, look man last night..."

Luke: "It's ok man, I get it, she pushed you too far, and it was bound to come out sooner or later,"

Ryan: "Really sorry man,"

Luke: "I guess Newport will never be the same for me, I thought I could come down for a bit and hang out like old times but it will never be like old times... I'm going back to Portland tomorrow,"

Ryan: "Well then we'll have to make today count,"

Luke: "Let's head off to the beach,"

Seth: "Great... the beach... I love the beach, with the Abercrombie guys,"

Luke: "Ugh, shut up Cohen and hurry up,"

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

The Cohen's house was filled with food, drinks (Non-alcoholic), and loud music.

Summer: "Great! Everything is prepared, he'll love it,"

Marissa: "Ya, as long as my mom doesn't show up,"

Marissa's cell phone rings.

Marissa: "Speaking of the devil," (Looking at her caller id)

Answering the phone.

Marissa: "What!"

Julie: "Is that any way to talk to your mother?"

Marissa: "I can't believe you! You come over on Ryan's birthday, say all that to him and want my respect?!"

Julie: "Look Marissa I didn't call to argue, I called to tell you your having dinner here tomorrow night, you've been gone long enough and I want to know what's going on in my daughters life, I wanna know how badly that trailer trash has ruined you,"

Marissa: "How can you talk like that and still expect me to come?!"

Julie: "You're still my child dammit and you will come tonight, you're being very rebellious, maybe I should call Dr. Melano,"

Marissa: "Fine, one dinner... and if you say anything about Ryan I'm gone,"

Julie: "We'll see... goodbye Marissa, see you tomorrow," (In a fake cheerful voice)

Marissa: "When will that women stop!"

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

A few hours later Ryan, Seth, and Luke came back to the Cohen's

Ryan: "What's that noise?" (Hearing the music)

Seth: "No idea..."

They walk in to see a room filled with people (Half of which they didn't even know) and a big banner saying "Happy Birthday Ryan!!!"

Ryan: "What is going on Seth..."

Seth: "Um... ya about this..."

Just then Marissa and Summer run up to Ryan.

Marissa: "Surprise!!!" (Pulling him in and kissing him)

Summer: "Happy Birthday Chino..."

Ryan: "Wow, I never expected... wow," (Smiling)

Seth: "That's a typical Ryan response..."

Summer: "Wow that's like the first time I've seen him smile since.... I can't even remember,"

Marissa: "I'm so sorry about last night and my mom"

Ryan: "You know... I really don't care about your mom," (Smiling, he leans in and starts kissing Marissa) "This parties great guys thanks, but who are all these people?"

Marissa: "Summer got a little carried away with the invitation process,"

Summer: "I just wanted it to be exciting, plus it means more presents for you Chino, so don't complain,"

Laughing they all just go in to enjoy the party.

Kirsten trying to talk through the music: "Sandy who are all these people!? Their tearing apart this house!"

Sandy: "Don't worry about it, can't be worse than when Hailey had the New Year's party... plus look how happy Ryan is..." (Looking at Ryan actually dancing!)

Kirsten: "I'm going to go call a cleaning service for tomorrow,"

During the party Ryan and Marissa slip into the pool house.

Ryan: "I love you so much," (Kissing her)

Marissa: "I love you too... oh your present!" (Pulling away)

Ryan: "You know... it can wait... the kissing was nice... uh come on," (Smiling)

Marissa: "Calm you!" (Giggling)

Marissa hands Ryan a wrapped box. He opens it to find a watch with engravings on the back that read "I will always love you, -Marissa"

Ryan: "I love it... isn't this the..."

Marissa: "Ya, it's the watch we were looking at last Christmas, and don't worry I didn't steal this one," (Laughing)

Ryan: "I never though it was possible but I love you even more," (Pulling her on himself for a make out session)

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

The party had ended and everyone had left... all that remained was Seth, Summer, Ryan and Marissa.

Sandy: "So kids, have fun?"

Ryan: "It was great... thanks guys, it really meant a lot"

Seth: "Oh, he's getting all sentimental,"

Summer: "Shut up Cohen!" (Playfully hitting him)

Kirsten: "Oh, Ryan it's time for our present,"

Ryan: "You guys have already done enough, I don't need anything,"

Sandy: "Nonsense come on,"

Leading him to the front where a brand new SUV stood.

Sandy: "Do you like it,"

Ryan: "What?"

Sandy: "It's yours... well actually yours and Seth's,"

Seth: "Awesome! A present on Ryan's birthday!"

Kirsten: "Nice try buster, it counts as your birthday present too,"

Seth: "Whatever!" (Running towards the car)

Ryan: "I can't accept this,"

Sandy: "You can't accept a birthday gift?" (Giving a smile)

Ryan: "Ya but like my biggest birthday gift was like.... A basketball,"

Everyone gave a sad look realizing just how bad Ryan had it.

Sandy: "Well this your gift," (Giving Ryan a hug)

Ryan: "Thanks, really, this was the greatest birthday I've had,"

Everyone smiled knowing that was as sentimental Ryan got.

Seth: "Ready for a test drive man!?"

Ryan: "Ready ladies?" (Smiling)

The girls just laughed, got in and they all drove off to the pier.

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

Ryan and Marissa were sitting in the front and Seth and Summer in the back bickering.

Seth: "Dude this is such a sweet ride, let me drive!"

Summer: "No way! Remember Tiawana?"

Seth: "Hey that was your fault,"
Summer: "Was not you goof,"

Marissa: "Calm down you two," (Giggling)

Ryan: "This is perfect,"

Marissa: "Ya it is," (Pulling close) "Until tomorrow that is," (Suddenly upset)

Ryan: "What's tomorrow?"

Marissa: "I have to have dinner with my mom or face Dr. Melano,"

Ryan: "Wow, that's harsh... need company,"

Marissa: "You would come with me after what she did last night?"

Ryan: "Hey she came to my dinner, it's only polite if I go to hers," (Giving a little grin)
