'Let's go.' Natalie said dragging Scott to the Ferris wheel.

'I hate heights.' Scott argued.

'Scott...'

'Fine.'

'Thank you.'

At the top of the Ferris wheel.

'Oh god.' Scott said looking over the edge.

Natalie giggled softly.

'Not funny.'

'Do you need something to take your mind of it?'

'Maybe, that would...' Scott was cut off by Natalie's lips.

'Wow.'

'Ya.'

Scott leaned in and kissed her again.

They reached the bottom of the Ferris wheel. Scott gave the guy a twenty and said 'One more time.'

"Cut!" The director yelled.

"What?" Ryan asked.

"I'm changing that." The director explained.

"Where?" Marrissa asked.

"Don't say your lines after the first kiss, just break apart look at each other with question in your eyes and then kiss again." The director ordered.

"Doesn't that make us seem desperate?" Ryan asked.

"Ya?" Marrissa agreed.

"Hmmm." The director said thoughtfully.

"I agree with the director." Summer said, and Seth nodded his agreement.

"I don't." Chris said.

"Hmm?" Ryan asked looking at him.

"I think they're right, it does make them seem to desperate." Chris said.

"I don't know." The director said.

"Our first conflict." Chris announced.

"How do we deal with it?" Seth asked.

"We talk to the writers this is their decision."

"Okay." Summer nodded, "But what do we film now?" Summer asked.

"Let's do the next scene, on the boardwalk." The director said.

"Who's in it?" Seth asked.

"Summer and Marrissa." Chris announced.

"Cool." Summer said.

"Head to wardrobe and then go to the ice-cream parlor we'll be there." The director said.

"Okay." Marrissa says as she walked away.

Summer followed after her.

"What do we do?" Ryan asked.

"You guys are done for the night." Chris said with a wave of his hand.

"Coolie." Seth said.

"Are we gonna wait for the girls?" Ryan asked as they walked away.

"Summer will kill me if I don't." Seth pointed out.

"Ah, rage blackouts."

"Yep."

"Hard life?"

"For sure."

"Do you ever think about yours and Summer's future?" Ryan asked Seth, Ryan's fingers touching the box in his pocket.

"All the time."

"Oh." Ryan said opening the box.

"Why'd ya ask?" Seth replied.

"No reason." Ryan answered closing the box. 'Snap.'

"What was that?" Seth asked curiously.

"Nothing." Ryan lied.

"It came from your pocket." Seth argued.

"Impossible." Ryan said.

"Let me see it."

"No."

"Ryan..."

"Seth..."

"Please."

"Will you laugh?"

"No."

"Fine." Ryan agreed taking the box out of his pocket.

"Wow!" Seth said staring at the box.

"Ya." Ryan agreed.

"Do mom and dad know?"

"About the ring?"

"About you proposing?"

"I'm not proposing! This is a clada ring."

"A clada ring?"

"Ya."

"What does it do?"

"It's it a crown with a heart on top and two hands facing out on either side of the ring and when the tip of bottom heart is facing down you're available."

"And when it's up?"

"You're taken."

"Who's idea was this?"

"Mine."

"Yours?"

"Ya."

"Ryan Atwood?"

"Ryan Cohen."

"Right."

"Ya."

"Your idea?"

"Yes Seth."

"But why?"

"I got it the second day that Marrissa was in the hospital."

"From where?"

"Tiffany's."

"The diamond store?"

"No Seth the drug store."

"Oh."

"Yes the diamond store you idiot."

"Can I see?"

"Sure." Ryan said handing him the box.

"Wow." Seth awed when he opened the box to see a shining ring. It was silver with three hearts stacked on top of each other, and on the bottom heart there was a three-karat diamond.

"It cost me the hair off my back." Ryan admitted.

"How much?"

"Around 450."

"Where'd you get the cash?"

"Crabshack."

"It's pays that well?"

"That's half a summer's worth of working there."

"On a ring?'

"Yes, it's important."

"When are you giving it to her?"

"When the time is right."

"Soon."

"Why?"

"You don't want to waste $450."

"Why would it go to waste?"

"Another Oliver might just come along."

"Seth."

"Just kidding."

"Very funny."

"Ya."

"Let's go watch their scene being shot."

"'Kay." Ryan agreed trailing slowly after Seth.

(ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE SHOOT, RYAN'S POV)

"See ya Summer." I said when we reached the Cohen house and she climbed into her car.

"Bye Coop, bye Chino." She agreed.

"Se ya Sum." Marrissa said taking my hand.

"Come to the poolhouse?" I asked her.

"Sure." She agreed. Following me as I walked around back.

"What's up?" Marrissa asked sensing my nervousness.

"Nothing." I lied.

"You sure?"

"Yep."

"Okay."

"What do you want to do?"

"Let's talk."

"About what?"

"Are you feeling okay?"

"Fine why?"

"That was our first day back after..."

"I'm fine Ryan."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"What's up?"

"I tired of being asked 'Are you okay, are you okay?' over and over again."

"Sorry."

"It's okay."

"We only do it because we care."

"I'm sure."

"Seriously."

"If this is all you wanted to talk about, I'm leaving." Marrissa said standing up.

"No!" I cried.

"What?"

"There's something else."

"What is it?"

"This." I said taking the box out of my pocket.

"Oh." Marrissa said before she fainted.

(IN THE COHEN DRIVEWAY, SETH'S POV)

"I know something." I hinted.

"What do you know?"

"Lot's I'm at the top of my class."

"Cohen." Summer said slapping my arm.

"Fine. I know something."

"What?"

"Lot's I'm at the top of my class."

"Cohen." Summer squealed again this time slapping the back of my head through the open car window.

"Alright, alright."

"What is it?"

"Ryan is giving her a ring."

"Coop's getting married?"

"No, its a different ring."

"How so?"

"It just symbolizes their relationship or something."

"Oh."

"I was surprised when Ryan told me."

"How come?"

"Because it's Ryan."

"So at least Chino gets Coop stuff."

"I get you stuff."

"Like what?"

"Give me a second." I said putting my hand on my chin.

"Exactly Cohen now get out of my car, I'm leaving."

"Fine." I said kissing her on the cheek and pulling my head out of the door bumping it on the car.
