"Summer stop it that hurts." Seth yelped.

"Stop trying to hold my hand, and I'll stop twisting your arm." Summer replied.

"Guys, we are in public you know." Ryan reminded.

"Right." Summer said dropping Seth's arm.

"Ow." Seth mumbles as he rubs his arm.

"I don't see any paparazzi yet." Marrissa said looking all around them.

"You're not supposed to see them that would be the point." Ryan reminds slipping his arm around Marrissa's waist.

"Right." Marrissa remembered.

"Come on Bendels next." Summer said ushering them out of the boutique they were in.

"Alright, alright I'm going god." Seth said as she pushed him out the door.

"Can we stop at this little boutique I saw on the way?" Marrissa asked.

"Where is it?" Ryan asked.

"About 2 stores away from Macys."

"Okay." Everyone else agreed.

As they approached the store, Ryan suggested that after this store and Bendels they grab some lunch. Everyone else agreed and they entered the store slowly.

"Guys, let's hurry I'm hungry." Seth whined.

"We have another store after this." Summer reminded.

"Damn." Seth complained.

"I love this dress." Marrissa commented from the other side of the store.

"It's nice." Ryan agreed.

"Oh, I'll find something else."

"I said it was nice."

"Ya, but I like this one better." Marrissa said holding up a dress that was so beautiful. It was a light, pale green, with blue threading. It flowed out nicely and was tighter at the top than at the bottom.

"It's very pretty." Ryan agreed.

"How much?" Asked Summer joining them.

"150." Marrissa answered.

"That's not bad." Summer agreed fingering the material gently.

"Where would you where it?" Seth asked.

"How fancy is that animal testing thing tomorrow?" Marrissa asked Ryan.

"It's casual dress." Ryan informed.

"That would be perfect." Summer said holding it up to Marrissa.

"Ya, I think I'll get it." Marrissa agreed taking up to the checkout.

"That will be $172.50." The cashier announced.

Marrissa handed the cashier her gold card.

"Let's go to Macys quickly so we can eat." Seth urged.

"You cannot rush a girl at shopping." Ryan told his brother putting his arm around Marrissa's shoulders he added, "Right?"

"Right." Marrissa confirmed kissing Ryan quickly as they leave the shop.

"Oh my god." Summer squealed when the got outside.

There were photographers everywhere all snapping pictures of the teens as they rushed out of the boutique.

"What did you buy Marrissa?" One reporter called.

The teens looked at each other and went back into the boutique slamming the door in the photographer's faces.

"May we use your back door?" Ryan asked the cashier.

"Why?" The cashier demanded.

"There is paparazzi outside and they are attacking us." Seth rushed dramatically.

"Who are you?" The cashier asked.

"The stars of UCLA, the TV show." Summer informed reaching out her hand.

"Oh cool. If I can get your autographs I'll let you out the back way." The cashier proposed.

They all looked at each other deciding if they should do it or not. Seth nodded and simultaneously all the others agreed.

"Who should we make them out to?" Ryan asked.

"Alyssa." The cashier answered.

"That's a pretty name." Summer commented.

"Ya, my daughter loves it." The cashier agreed.

"These are for your daughter?" Marrissa asked.

"Ya, she's a big fan of the show." The cashier explained.

"Who's her favorite?" Seth asked anxiously.

"She loves Loraine but she practically adores everyone else to." The cashier said.

"Aw poor Seth you're not her favorite tear, tear." Summer said patting his shoulder.

"Leave me alone Summer." Seth snapped.

"I thought you guys were all best friends." The cashier said bewildered.

"We are." Marrissa smiled.

"Guys let's go, if we want lunch anytime soon." Ryan suggested.

Everyone else agreed and they left through the back door sneaking through the alleys to Bendels.

(AT BENDELS, SETH'S POV)

"Summer could you hurry up?" I whined.

"I could." Summer replied.

"Then will you?"

"I don't know. What do you think of this?" She asked coming out of the change room.

"It looks...wow."

"It does doesn't it?"

"Ya."

"Coop come and see." Summer yelled.

"Wow summer you look great." Marrissa said when she came over.

"I do don't I?" Summer replied.

"Are you getting it?" Seth asked.

"I don't know." Summer said fingering the delicate material as she watched the beautiful purple dress flow over her curves.

"It looks gorgeous on you, why wouldn't you?" Marrissa asked.

"Excuse me miss?" Summer asked, "Do I look good in this dress?"

"What?" The lady asked turning around.

"Oh my god. You're Hilary Duff." Summer squealed.

"So I hear." Hilary laughed.

"Hilary Duff." Marrissa echoed.

"Yep." Hilary repeated.

"This is so cool." Seth said, "Can I have your autograph?"

"If I can have yours." Hilary compromised.

"Sure." Seth agreed.

"Yours too." Hilary said to Summer and Marrissa, "And where's Ryan?"

"Over in the jewelry section buying Kirsten's Christmas present." Seth said.

"Oh, who's Kirsten?" Hilary asked.

"Their mom." Summer explained.

"Seth Cohen, and Ryan Atwood. Whose mom?" Hilary asked confused.

"Both of ours." Seth said.

"Oh."

"Now how about those autographs?" Marrissa intervened.

"What did you ask when you were trying to get my attention?" Hilary asked.

"I asked if I looked okay in this." Summer said gesturing to the dress she was still wearing.

"You look great, you should buy it." Hilary said.

"Cool." Summer smiled.

"What are you guys doing in LA?" Hilary asked.

"We're going to a fundraiser for the use of animals for testing." Summer filled in.

"Really, the one at Beverly Hills convention center?" Hilary asked.

"Yep." Marrissa agreed.

"Me too." Hilary exclaimed.

"Really?" Seth asked.

"Yep." Hilary smiled.

"Awesome, I guess we'll see you there." Marrissa said as she and Seth turned and walked away, and Summer retreated into the change rooms.

"Wait, are you doing anything to night?" Hilary asked quickly.

"Are we?" Seth asked Marrissa.

"I don't think so." Marrissa said thoughtfully.

"You should come to this awesome party tonight." Hilary suggested.

"I thought you didn't do parties?" Seth said.

"And how would you know that?' Marrissa asked.

"I saw a glimpse of an article in a magazine." Seth covered.

"I don't usually do parties but this is special one. It's my best friends birthday." Hilary smiled.

"Who's your best..."

"Lindsay Lohan." Hilary smiled.

"Oh right." Summer said like she knew that.

"The party is at Disco, the knew club on LA boulevard.

"We'll be there, I mean if we can, we're not saying we will be, I mean it' no big deal, Right guys?" Seth rambled.

"Sure Seth." Summer said.

"I guess I'll see you there." Hilary smiled turning away.

"Bye." They all called after her.

"Who was that?" Ryan asked as they approached him.

"Hilary Duff!" Summer squealed.

"Really?" Ryan asked.

"No I'm making it up." Summer said sarcastically.

"What were you talking about?" Ryan asked.

"She invited us to a party at Disco." Seth said.

"What's Disco?" Ryan asked confused.

"A hot new club." Marrissa informed.

"Who's the party for?" Ryan asked.

"Lindsay Lohan." Seth said as if it was no big deal.

"Really?" Ryan asked interested now.

"Yep." Seth said smiling broadly.

"Interesting." Ryan said with a smirk on his face.

"I'm right here." Marrissa said looking at Ryan.

"What? Oh, right." Ryan said coming back down to earth.

"Did she tell us what time it was?" Summer asked suddenly.

"We'll show up at 10." Seth said smartly.

"Oh guys," Hilary panted running over to them, "It's a surprise party so be there at 9."

"Okay..." Seth said and the four burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Hilary asked.

"We just realized we didn't know what time to be there and Seth said we'll just show up at 10." Marrissa explained.

"Oh." Hilary said.

"Seth's a moron and he does stupid stuff all the time so it's funny whenever he does." Ryan explained further.

"Oh." Hilary said smiling this time.

"I guess we'll see you around 9 then." Marrissa said smiling.

"Sure." Hilary and left, this time for good.

Because they are worst enemies in real life and they are best friends in my story.
