Sandy and Kirsten were sitting on the couch in the lobby anxiously waiting for Seth to walk through the door. After about ten minutes of waiting, they saw Seth and Ryan walk through the door. Kirsten immediately stood up and ran over to Seth.

Kirsten: Seth!

Kirsten wrapped her arms around her son, tears rolling down her face.

Seth: I'm okay mom.

After a few minutes Kirsten let go of Seth and Sandy had his turn hugging his kid.

Sandy: Don't ever do this again.

Seth: I won't.

After a few minutes Sandy let go of his son and the fully reassembled family walked over to the couch and sat down.

Sandy: So, son, I heard you picked up a girl here in Tahiti.

Seth: More like she picked me up.

Sandy: Okay…explain.

Seth: The wind was getting rough out at sea, it ripped my sail and I lost control of the boat. I crashed into these rocks and was stranded for about a day and a half. Eventually I saw another boat and flagged it down, it was Andrea. She picked me up and brought me here, she lives in Tahiti, so she pretty much took me in. But it's not what you guys think…or what Summer thinks, for that matter.

Kirsten: So where is this mystery girl?

Seth: I'm pretty sure she went home.

Ryan: (Interrupting) Speaking of which, I'm going to go up to my room, I'll see you guys later.

Sandy, Kirsten and Seth nodded and Ryan walked toward the elevators and went up to his room. Sandy and Kirsten immediately returned their attention to Seth.

Sandy: Where is your boat?

Seth: Ah, Summer Breeze is a casualty. We had nothing to tow the boat back in with so I said my goodbyes to her, and I left her out at sea.

Kirsten: I'm just glad your safe, God only knows what would have happened if she hadn't come along.

Seth: Look, I'm really sorry guys…I just didn't know what do.

Kirsten: I just wish you would have talked to us.

Seth: I didn't feel like I could talk to anybody.

Sandy: Well, consider this your one get out of jail free card. Why don't you go upstairs and get cleaned up, you'll stay with Ryan, room 305.

Seth: Okay, thanks.

Seth got up and walked toward the elevators, Sandy and Kirsten watched him go; feeling as though the weight of the world had been lifted off their shoulders. Seth walked down the hall and found room 305 and walked in, he found Ryan sitting on the bed.

Seth: Hey man.

Ryan: Hey.

Seth: Thanks…you know…for coming to get me.

Ryan: You're my brother man; I had no choice.

Ryan and Seth smiled at each other.

Ryan: Did you talk to Summer?

Seth: No; not yet.

Ryan: What are you waiting for?

Seth: What room is she in?

Ryan: 303.

Seth got up and left the room and walked down the hall to Summer and Marissa's room, and knocked on the door. A few seconds later, Marissa opened the door.

Marissa: Hey Seth.

Seth: Hey.

Marissa: I'm glad you're okay.

Seth: Thanks. Is Summer –

Summer: (From inside the room) Go away!

Marissa: You know what, I'm staying out of this one; I'll be with Ryan.

Marissa walked out of the room and left the door standing open, Seth tried to walk in but Summer immediately got up and walked over to the door and blocked his way.

Seth: Summer, please, just let me explain.

Summer: I'm not interested Seth!

Summer slammed the door in Seth's face, and walked over and sat on the bed. Seth stood outside the door, he tried the doorknob but it was locked.

Seth: (Yelling through the door) Summer, it's not what you think!

No response from inside the room.

Seth: (Yelling through the door) Summer…Summer!

Still no response, eventually Seth gave up and walked back to his room. Seth opened the door and walked in on Ryan and Marissa sitting on the bed making out.

Seth: Ah, the two of you look chummy, glad to see you've reverted back to your former state.

Ryan and Marissa parted and looked at Seth and smiled a little bit.

Ryan: So any luck with Summer?

Seth: Nope, it's like Vegas all over again…except, you know, without the prostitutes.

Marissa: Prostitutes…

Ryan: Uh…

Marissa just looked over at Ryan waiting for his response.

Ryan: It's…uh…it's kinda a…long story.

Marissa: Really, cause I've got time.

Seth: (Interrupting) So, Ryan…how's Theresa, the baby?

Ryan: (Looking down at the floor) Theresa lost the baby.

Seth: Oh man, what happened?

Ryan: Eddie hit her; she had a miscarriage.

Seth: Wow, I'm really sorry man.

Ryan: Thanks.

Seth: So did you ever figure out who the father was?

Ryan: No.

Seth: Wow, I thought I had problems.

Marissa: Speaking of which, who was the girl on your arm?

Seth: Andrea, she picked me up and brought me to Tahiti.

Marissa: Picked you up from where?

Seth: Also a long story.

Marissa: Right, so I think I'm going to go check on Summer…but Ryan, we're talking about his later.

Marissa gave Ryan a kiss on the cheek and walked out of the room. Seth turned towards Ryan.

Seth: Sorry man, I didn't mean to salt your game.
