A/N: Here's another short chapter and I still don't own the show. Okay, let's get on with it...


Theresa couldn't believe it. They had been there for barely three hours and Ryan and that skinny bitch were already getting it on. She felt sick. Ryan was supposed to be hers!

How could they get back together so quickly? Well, she had the answer to that. It was Summer's fault. Stupid bitch, Theresa cursed. She had been so nosy and irritating. What's more, she kept getting in Theresa's plan of getting back with Ryan. Well, Marissa and Summer had better be ready to play round two 'cause Theresa sure was.

Theresa stood quietly in the doorway, surveying the scene in front of her.

Marissa and Seth were just exchanging places so that Seth was now with Summer. Marissa was occupying Seth's previous seat and was sitting on the couch with Ryan in front of the playstation. Just as Marissa picked the controller up, Theresa walked in.

"Ryan, can you help me massage my back? It hurts." Theresa asked in a sickeningly sweet voice.

Summer turned upon hearing the voice and scowled at Theresa. She had to hand it to her; Theresa had perfect timing. She was always interrupting when Chino and Coop got to spend some quality time together.

Ryan hesitated, not knowing what was the 'right' thing to do. He was afraid that if he obliged, Marissa would get angry with him. Yet, Ryan knew that it was his responsibility to take care of Theresa, no matter where they were, in Chino or Newport. Feeling lost, he looked at Marissa, then at Theresa, before turning back to Marissa again.

Marissa tried to keep calm. She knew Theresa was definitely not going to give in so readily and that she was going to fight with her for Ryan. Marissa also knew that this was not easy on Ryan. Marissa squeezed Ryan's hand, nodding reassuringly that she was fine with it.

Ryan gave her an are-you-sure look and Marissa nodded once again, this time with a small smile.

Theresa felt immensely irritated. Why should Ryan care what that bitch thought?

Walking purposefully towards the couch, Theresa wanted to settle herself in between Ryan and Marissa but that was kind of hard though since the two of them were already sitting so close to one another. Theresa spent a considerable amount of time trying to find a space to fit herself into while Seth and Summer looked on, highly amused.

Summer tried to stifle her laughter then pretended the whisper to Seth yet making sure her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear. "She's just in her first trimester yet she's getting fat already! Oh my gosh, how much bigger will she balloon to?"

Seth was enjoying himself too, "Maybe by another eighty pounds!"

At this, even Ryan had to do his best to hide his smile as Theresa pretended not to hear anything Seth or Summer had just said. Finally, she gave up and thought it was better to be seated in Ryan's lap.

Theresa caught Ryan unaware and suddenly plumped herself down in his lap. Ryan let out an 'oof!', surprised by Theresa's sudden weight on him.

Seth snickered, "Maybe she's already gained twenty pounds."

Theresa, deciding not to ignore the comments any longer, turned to glare at Seth. Her sudden turn of her head caused her ponytail to smack Ryan's face.

"Ouch! Theresa..." Ryan glared.

"Opps. Sorry." Theresa apologized, slightly embarrassed. Ryan wasn't her target, the two bitches were!

At this point, Summer couldn't control her laughter any longer. She burst out laughing and Theresa shot her a glare.

"I'm... going to.. get us... a drink," Summer managed, trying to catch her breath.

"I'll go with you," Marissa stood up as well. She turned to Theresa, "Want do you want?"

Theresa smiled her fake smile again. Boy was she using that a lot today. "I'll just have tea please."

"No problem." Marissa returned a genuine smile. Why should she be so bitchy towards Theresa? It wasn't as if she was afraid of her.

As Summer and Marissa headed to the kitchen, Summer turned around and shot Seth a look. Seth understood her silent message, they had earlier agreed that they would never leave Ryan and Theresa alone while they were together.

In the kitchen.

"I'll make Theresa's tea." Summer offered.

"Um, okay."

"What's wrong?" Summer asked, confused.

"You've never liked Theresa so why are you making her tea now?"

"You'll see." Summer simply said as she stirred the tea. Then she reached over to grab the peppershaker.

"Summer, what are you doing?" Marissa asked slowly.

"Coop, what does it look like I'm doing?" Summer shot back, adding several doses of pepper into the tea.

"Right, Summer. Right." Marissa headed on out to the couch with the other drinks in her hand.

Summer followed close behind and laid the cup on the table in front of Theresa. "Here's your tea!" Summer exclaimed, a bit too eagerly.

"Thanks..." Theresa replied, suspicious. She took a sip of the tea. Hmm... it tasted slightly weird but it was okay. Maybe Summer was just spoilt and didn't know how to make a decent cup of tea.

Summer, upon seeing Theresa taking in the tea without a word of complaint, had to fight back the strong urge to burst out laughing again.

"I'll be right back." Summer quickly said as she rushed towards the bathroom to laugh.
