FLASHBACK TO TAHITI

Seth tied Summer's Breeze up to the docks while singing his new favorite song:

Summer breeze

Makes me feel fine

Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

See the curtains hanging in the window

In the evening on a Friday night

A little light shining through the window

Lets me know everything's alright

Summer breeze

Makes me feel fine

Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Sweet days of summer

The jasmine's in bloom

July is dressed up

And playing a tune

When I come home from a hard day's work

And you're waiting there

Not a care in the world

See the smile waiting in the kitchen

Food cooking on a plate for two

Feel your arms reaching out to hold me I

n the evening when the day is through

It took one month of pulling and he finally- "Excuse me!" Seth turned around. "Are you Seth Cohen?" he asked. Seth nodded. "Welcome to Tahiti! I'm Chip. I control this section of the docks. If you have any questions about your boat or anything just let me know," he said. "OK. I'll ask you if I need anything," Seth said. "You can ask me anything," Chip said. "What's a good hotel around here?" Seth asked. "Well.... Depends on how much you have," Chip said. Seth thought for a moment. "I have more than $200,000 in my bank account." Chip's jaw dropped. "Try the new place they put in. I think it's called Holiday Inn. I've never heard of it until they started construction."

Seth looked up at the building. It was one of the biggest buildings in Tahiti. It had at least 20 floors. He went inside and decided to check in.

"Welcome to the first Holiday Inn in Tahiti. I'm Susan. Are you checking in?" Susan asked. "How much is it?" he asked. "It's $900 a night for a suite, $600 for a normal room and $300 for a crappy room or a one- nighter. It's the one all the hookers take their 'partner' to. I wouldn't recommend it," she said. Seth laughed. "I'll take the suite." He handed her his credit card. Thank God mom and dad lied about my age so I could get one. I wonder how they are... "Here you are. Just sign here."

That was the most exciting thing he did his first two years there, other than buy his apartment. He picked up the phone several times to call his family, but he never did.

Five years later, Seth graduated from college. He took classes at Tahiti National High and went to a local community college. He majored in Art and English. Seth was going to complete his childhood goal.... Seth is going to write comic books.

It took him three months to come up with a main character. One day, he went into his closet and took out Captain Oats. "Hey buddy! Do you miss Sparkles?" Seth sat for a moment, and realized his idea.

He logged onto his laptop and opened Microsoft Word.

THE ADVENTURES OF OATS AND SPARKLES

From there, Seth had a plot. Eight months later, he finished. He sent his comic to a few people. One month later, Marvel Comics, wanted to publish his comic book.

Seth went to their office in Tahiti and the man loved him. He would tour the world promoting the series and his first book. The order would be Tahiti, Canada, U.S., Mexico, Asia, and Australia. He thought it was much, but Marvel posted their comics around the world.

Three months later, he started touring. After one year and of touring, the comic came out in Asia, Mexico, and Australia. The comic was a success. It would come out in the other places a few years later.

Eight months later, comic number two was finished. He sent it to Marvel and they had him promote it again. He did Tahiti, then the U.S.

It took only a few days to tour Tahiti. "Great job Seth! They love you!" Mr. Hopkins said. "Thanks sir. Where am I off to next?" he asked. "Let's see.... Cohen's next stop is Oregon," he said. "Wait a sec. There's a change. You're heading to Newport Beach, California to promote at the third biggest comic book store in the world." Seth's jaw dropped. I'm going home. Oh God.

Two days later, he woke up in a familiar hotel: The Mermaid Inn. He should see his parents. He looked at the calendar. Mom and Dad usually don't work today. Maybe I should visit them. He took 40 copies of his own comics, his old backpack, and went into his 2015 Hummer H1.

He drove to the familiar house and knocked on the door. Ryan answered. "Hi Ryan," he said.
