"I
bought you guys a copy of my first two comics. The first one is going
to be released tomorrow," Seth said. He handed each of them a
copy of each one. "The idea isn't surprising," Sandy said.
Seth laughed. "Thanks to an old friend for the
idea."
Ryan
flipped through the pages. Sparkles was a pretty, popular kid. Oats
was a geek and a nerd. One day, he magically acquired powers and used
them to attract Sparkles. They work together fighting crime and
helping their friends.
"I
used real situations, as you can tell. Look. I'm sorry I can't stay,
but you can catch me on the Wayne Brady Show tomorrow. I have to film
it now. I'll be back as soon as I can," Seth said. He went
outside and drove away.
"He
really came back. Do you think he's going to come back later?"
Ryan asked. Sandy shrugged. "We can only hope."
"Hey
Seth! Nice to meet you. I'm Wayne, as you probably know," he
said. "Nice to meet you. Isn't today your 12th anniversary of
when you first went on the air?" Seth asked. "It is. Did
the writers tell you that?" Wayne asked. Seth shook his head. "I
watched it for the first time today. I remember. I was fourteen. I
was bored, so I put on ABC and saw you come on the screen. I
recognized you instantly from Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Seth
said. "Well, I read your comic and I loved it. It was really
good."
Summer
woke up at 9:30. That's pretty late. Summer is a lawyer at
Sandy's law firm, alongside Ryan. She is one of the best in the firm
and has only lost one case, but even a blind person who hadn't seen
the evidence could tell. Summer has a daughter. Her name is Jamie.
She's 9 years old, the same age as Cody.
Three
days after Seth left, Summer was supposed to get her period. She
never got it. She was pregnant. With Seth's kid. The same Seth that
is in Tahiti.
Summer
sat on the couch and turned on the TV. Jamie was sleeping over at
Cody's, so she can watch TV in peace.
She
put on the Wayne Brady Show and made some breakfast. From the kitchen
she listened. "Today on our show, Friday news and the weekly
song. Also, comic book writer Seth Cohen stops by." Summer came
running in. She saw a picture of Seth on the screen.
She
sat down and waited 10 minutes. "We have a very special guest
today. He has the biggest comics in almost every other part of the
world, except for the US. His first comic is released tomorrow. Here
is Seth Cohen!" Seth came out, and Summer almost went into shock
as he shook Wayne's hand and sat down. "So Seth. What are your
comics about?" Wayne asked. "Well, the series is called the
Adventures of Oats and Sparkles (Summer gasped). It is about an
unpopular boy nicknamed Oats who is the number 1 target for bullies.
He is in love with the most popular girl in school called Sparkles.
One day, a boy Oats' age comes to live with him. The boy named Ry
gives Oats powers. Sparkles falls in love with Oats and his powers.
He gives her powers to. They help people together. It sounds cheesy,
but it's the number 1 seller in Asia, Mexico, and Australia."
Summer was freaked out. He wrote a series of comics based on us
and our plastic horses.
A
few minutes later, Jamie came in. "How was Uncle Ryan and Aunt
Marissa's house?" she asked. "It was-"she stopped. She
looked at the TV. "That's Seth Cohen! He writes the best comic
series EVER!" Summer looked at her daughter. "How did you
get his comics?" she asked. "Uncle Ryan gave Aunt Marissa
both of the comics. He spent the night at Sandy's and Kirsten's
waiting for his friend." Summer looked at her. "We're going
to see them," Summer said.
Twenty
minutes later, they were at the house. Jamie ran up and rang the
bell. Ryan answered. "Hi Summer. Hi Jamie. Sorry I wasn't there
last night," he said. "Did your friend come? Mommy wanted
to see him." Ryan laughed at her. "He didn't come yet. Why
don't you go inside? Cody just came here. I know you spent the night
with him, but he's bored," Ryan said. Jamie ran inside. "She
said Seth writes the best comics in the world. I want her to meet her
father," Summer said.
They
went inside and watched TV with Kirsten, Sandy and Marissa. They were
watching The View when the doorbell rang. Sandy got it. "Hey
Seth. Someone's here to see you," he said. He directed Seth
inside. When he saw Summer, his eyes widened. Sandy, Kirsten and Ryan
left them alone.
"Hi
Summer," Seth said looking at the floor. "Seth, there's
someone I want you to meet," she said. Summer went inside and
got Jamie. Jamie gasped. "Mommy! That's Seth!! Remember? He
writes the comics which are really cool and the girl is the same name
as your horse." She went on and on. "Jamie. Do you know who
your daddy is?" Summer asked. Jamie nodded. "He's the man
that made me who I am. He sailed away to a place called Tahiti and
never came back," she said. "Jamie, this is your daddy."
Seth stared in amazement. I have a daughter. Jamie ran over
and hugged him. "I'm so happy I finally have a daddy. Are you
going to leave again?" Jamie asked.
"I will leave for a little while because I have to tell people about my comic, but I will come back. Forever. Just to see you. If it's OK with mommy." Jamie looked up at Summer. "It's fine with me." Summer said. Jamie ran over, and hugged her daddy for the first time ever.
