Disclaimer: We finally got the rights to the O.C.!!!! Pfft! It's awesome when you humor us and tell us that we really had you fooled! We don't have the rights to the Real World,either.
Author's Note: Ok, so the second half of what you're about to read (Previously...) wasn't in the last chapter, but it was supposed to be! It got taken out... Which is kinda weird, and a little freaky, but whatevs... It's here now.
Chinogirls Forever, L & R
Previously on the Real World: Orange CountyAnna begins to cry : I'm in jail.
Seth disbelieving : Wait, can you repeat yourself? Did you just say you were in jail?
Anna tearfully : Uh huh.
Seth: When can you get out?
Anna: Tomorrow. I think.
Seth: I'll come get you then.
"Do you mind if I sleep with you? There's something in our room. I mean, I wouldn't do anything, just sleep." Ryan asked her.
"No, sure. I don't mind." Marissa replied.
"Wait, do you snore?"
"No, well, I don't think so. I've never actually slept with some one before."
"Yeah, me neither. I'm usually crawling out the window. Or back into the front seat." He said with a smirk.
"OK! Enough sharing!" She replied.
---------
Seth: This is the true story
Holly: of seven strangers
Oliver: picked to live in a house
Anna: and have their lives taped.
Ryan: To see what happens when

The Hello Kitty alarm clock in the pink room started to ring at 8:45. A groggy Summer reached over to hit the 'snooze' button, a sleeping Ryan nuzzled his head in Marissa's neck. A bed-headed Seth stirred and climbed out of bed. He walked out to make a pot of coffee. Ryan opened his eyes, to realize that he was spooning with Marissa. He rolled over onto his back and she rolled so that she was slightly leaning on him, looking over her shoulder.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to, uh,"
"I know"
"I can, uh, go back to my room, if you want."
"No, it's ok. I think it's time to wake up, wake up."
"Right."
Marissa and Ryan came out. With mischevious smiles on their faces.
Ryan sat down in just his boxers and Marissa walked around the counter, to get two cups for their coffee.
"So, Ryan, how'd you sleep?" She asked.
"Great, better than I had in months. In years, maybe. You?"
"Good. I'm glad. You don't snore, by the way." She said, with a wink.
"You don't either. But you're kinda a blanket-hog."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, I got it. You guys had sex." Seth said, with a big light bulb over his head.
Marissa's eyes popped, and Ryan replied, "No, Seth, if we had sex, you would know."
Marissa blushed, "Ryan! No. Hello? Getting married over here!"
"Sorry," He said with a sparkle in his eyes. They sipped their coffee while Seth buttered a bagel. The phone rang and Seth ran to answer it.
Seth: Hello?
Anna: Hey, Seth.
Seth: Anna. What's up?
Anna: You're coming to get me?
Seth: Yeah, I'm on my way.
Anna: K. Bye.
Seth: Bye.
Seth finished getting dressed and got into his Range Rover to where Anna was locked up. When she saw him, she ran and gave him the biggest hug.
"Seth! I'm so glad to see you!"
"Hey, Anna."
Anna: It was just so refreshing to see a familiar face when I got out.
They got in the car and she immediately blurted out, "Seth, I know about Summer."
Seth: Oh,bleep, bleep, bleep! My life is officially over.
Awkward silence followed them all the way home, where the duo found that everyone had left, except for Summer, who was drying herself off after a shower. Seth and Anna went into the living room and sat on the couch, their awkward silence continuing. Summer practically skipped into the room, but her face fell when she felt the silence.
"Brr. It's cold in here! What's goin' on? Tinkerbell, how was jail? Sucky? Become anyone's bitch?"
"I think we need to talk," Anna stated.
"Huh?"
"Yeah, there's something you should know, Summer. Anna, where do we start?"
"I kissed you!" Anna said. Summer looked perplexed.
"I know."
"What? I kissed you!" Summer said.
"So true." He replied.
"Wait, so he's been with both of us?"
"Yup," Anna replied.
"Oh, my god! Cohen, you're such an ass! I almost slept with you."
"You di-you were?"
"Yeah," She turned around to leave but he tried to stop her.
"Summer, don't leave."
"You want me to stay?"
"You want her to stay?"
"Yes."
"Ok, then, I'll go."
"No, Anna, don't go."
"Cohen, make up your mind. I like you. So does she. If we don't put an end to this soon-"
"Some one's gonna get hurt. She's right, you can't have both of us, Seth."
"I'm going to go. Now." He said as he walked out of the room, headed for his room, upstairs.

Commercial Break:
A little kid ran up to his sister, who was laying on the beach. He squatted down, and put his finger close. "I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you."------------
The four girls were walking and talking, while sipping on coffees in the mall.
"Oh, my god! I am officially in love with South Coast Plaza!" Summer exclaimed.
"Oh, god. Abercrombie. My fiancé? Their biggest fan. I swear to god. I couldn't get him in anything else if I paid him." Marissa exclaimed. And the other girls all laughed.
"Ooh, La Perla! Oh, my god, you guys, we have to go in!" Summer squealed.
"Isn't it like really expensive? I heard that Britney Spears spends like 150 on one pair of their underwear," Holly asked.
"So? C'mon! Let's go!" Summer commanded as she pulled Anna and Holly by their hands into the store. Marissa followed close behind. Summer picked up a thong, "Coop! Look at this. I know I'm kinda thinking ahead, but wedding, or honeymoon?"
Marissa laughed, "Sure Sum, in a million years. What about this?" She asked as she picked a light blue bra.
"Oh, yeah! I like it. I think I have to try it on," she said as she leafed through the hangers to find one her size. "C'mon, you guys have to tell me what you think." She pulled Anna, Holly, and Marissa into the dressing room. After it was on, she asked, "What do you guys think?
Holly: Holy crap. Summer looked so bleeping hot! I like have a huge crush on her! What the hell am I supposed to do? I have no idea. And I can't ask anyone, because then Summer'll find out, and then there'll be some kind of tension, and I don't want that.
"I think it looks hot, Sum." Marissa complimented. "Don't you guys think it looks hot?"
"Oh, yeah, yeah," Holly and Anna agreed. Holly, a bit hesitant.

"Dude, what do I do? I know I asked you before. But now they both know. And they want me to choose." Seth asked Ryan, again.
"Seth, man, I'm sorry, I really don't have an answer for you. Like I said before, I've never been in that position. And I'm not really the boyfriend type."
"Yes, exactly, Ryan, you are a pimp. And that is exactly why I ask you. You, have luck with women."
"Seth, I'm not a pimp. And you're acting more like a pimp than me. I mean, look at you, two girls at the same time, in three weeks."
"Ryan, you're not helping."
"And that's because I can't help, you, Seth."
"Oh, look, here they come. All four of them. With large plastic bags. Oh, dear god. Ryan, I think they went shopping," Seth observed.
And sure enough all four of the girls were headed towards the house from the driveway. Holly, with a hefty bag from American Eagle; Summer, with bags from La Perla, American Eagle, and Abercrombie; Marissa with bags from Lacoste, La Perla, and Abercrombie; and Anna with bags from Wet Seal and Rampage.
Summer and Marissa went straight to their room, so Summer could try on the rest of her clothes. That's the way she was, she grabbed, and paid, never did she try anything on in the store. Well, except for that pricy La Perla bra. Holly went to the computer room, and Anna went to her room, to put away her purchases.
"Well, Ryan, I think I want to go see what Marissa's doing. I could use a woman's insight. Even though I think Anna's probably smarter, I can't ask her what I should do, now can I, Ryan? She'll just probably tell me to pick her."
"Right, I'll come with you. See what Marissa's doing."
The pair walked out of their room, to the pink room, where Marissa and Summer were trying their clothes on, Summer in the La Perla bra and jeans, helping Marissa "zip-out" of the dress she was wearing. Seth and Ryan walked in, not thinking about what they could witness. And when they did, they were pleasantly surprised, because just as Ryan walked through the curtain, Marissa's dress fell, and she stood there, in her bra, and panties. She picked the dress up, to cover herself up.
"Hi, Hi, Summer," Seth said, with a poo-eating grin.
"Hey, Cohen, what do you want?" She asked, as Anna walked in, noticing the awkward situation. Ryan was in awe, and Anna had no idea why. Ryan had to duck out of the room, before he started drooling. Anna ducked out with him, to confirm her thoughts.
She whistled, and then asked, "You're into her, huh?"
Ryan just looked at her. Which she correctly interpreted as a 'yes', "Man, are you in trouble."
"I know," he replied.
"Yeah,"
"Yeah"

Commercial Break:
The sensation that swept America is coming back this November. The Valley. Thursday, November 4th, 8/7c
------------
"I still can't believe you're getting married to Luke Ward." Seth remarked while he, Marissa, and Ryan were seated around the backyard fire-pit.
"That bad?" Ryan asked.
"No, Ryan. Worse."
"Seth! When did you ever meet Luke?" Marissa asked.
"Once, for about 5 minutes, when me and my parents were visiting my Nana in the Bronx."
"What's your problem, Cohen? What did he ever do to you?"
"He tried to kick my ass. I don't know why. Maybe he's just angry."
"Ok, well, fine, I'll admit, he can have a temper when he's drunk, but what did I ever do to you? What did I do to deserve to hear this kind of smack being talked about my fiancé?"
"Nothing. Your dad and my aunt have only been going out for forever and you've never done or said anything. Or come to visit me, Cous."
"Oh, my god! You're the one that doesn't come to visit us! I don't understand how you can visit your 'Nana' in the Bronx, and not take the short trip on the subway to visit my dad, Hailey, and I in Manhattan. You think you're so much better than everyone."
"I do? If you say so, Marissa," he said before picking up his book.
"Hey, Seth. Liking On the Road? It's my favorite book."
"Mine too," he said, almost ashamedly. The trio sat there in an awkward silence for a few seconds until Seth couldn't stand it. "So, Marissa?"
"Yeah?"
"Since you're a girl. What should I do. Or, what can I do to make it so that both Anna and Summer is ok?"
"Seth, I'm sorry to tell you, Cous, that I don't think there is anything you can do. No matter who you choose, the other one's not gonna be ok with it. And every minute you wait to tell them your decision, you're gonna change your mind. And then, guess what? You keep digging yourself deeper into the trench."
"Wow, such words of wisdom coming from you. The girl who's marrying Luke Ward."
"Will you please shut up about Luke, Cohen?"
"I'm sorry, it's just too easy."
-----------
"So, Seth, nervous about talking to Anna and Summer?" Ryan asked.
"No, I've got nothing to be afraid of. They don't scare me." Ryan just looked at him. "Ok, I'm not afraid of Anna. But yeah, I gotta go do that."
Seth: I guess Marissa's right. I can't choose either of them. I'm just going to be a lonely guy for the rest of my life.
"Hey, Anna?"
"Yeah, Seth?"
"Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Uh, sure."
Once he got them so that they were "private", he broke the news. "Anna, you're a really great girl. And I like you a lot, but I'm not choosing you over Summer. I'm sorry."
"No, Seth, don't worry about it. It's fine."
"You sure?"
"Yeah." She said as she threw her arms around him for a friendly hug. He and she parted ways, and he was off to find Summer.
He finally found her, in the confessional.
"Hey, Summer?" He asked, as he knocked on the door.
"Yeah?"
"Can I come in?"
"Sure, Cohen."
He walked in and sat down so that he could face Summer.
Summer: Hey, Cohen. What's up?
Seth: Nothin'. Well, actually somethin', but uh, yeah, let's not get into that right now.
Summer: You made your decision, didn't you, Cohen? Well, out with it.
Seth: Summer, I really, really like you. And I wish that things could have stayed the way they've been the last couple of weeks for our whole stay. I'm not going to sugar-coat it for you. Because I know you wouldn't sugar-coat if for me. You're cool like that, very tough and you can take the truth.
Summer: Yeah, and?
Seth: I couldn't pick you over Anna.
Summer: Whatevs, Cohen. My ex is coming in a few days, he just called and told me. And, like, I think I'll be hanging around with him. So it's good that you didn't pick me, 'cause, like, maybe he and I'll get back together, or something, and I wouldn't want to feel attached to you. So, I'm ok.
Seth: Right. See you in a little bit.
Summer: See ya. Seth leaves I hate Cohen. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him!
Summer walked out and cornered Anna, "I just wanted to say congratulations."
"Why?" Anna had no clue what the heck Summer was doing.
"For getting Cohen."
"Wait, no. I thought Seth picked you."
"No, he couldn't pick me over you."
"He couldn't pick me over you."
"Oh, my god. He did it again. That tricky little bleep" Summer muttered.
"Seth!" They both said, barely audible.
On the Next Episode of the Real World: Orange County"Hey everyone! This is my... my Brad!"
