Ryan and Marissa are still sitting out on the beach, it had been about forty-five minutes since they had left Seth and Summer in the ice cream shop.

Marissa: You ready to go back to the hotel?

Ryan: You're room or mine?

Marissa smiled and the two stood up and started walking back to the hotel. About ten minutes later they walked through the doors and into the lobby, they immediately walked over to the elevators and went up to the room. Ryan slid his key into the door and slowly opened it. The happy couple entered the room and found yet another happy couple lying on what was Ryan's bed, making out.

Ryan: Aw man, that's my bed!

Summer and Seth immediately parted looking somewhat embarrassed that their friends walked in on them.

Marissa: That didn't take very long.

Seth: What can I say, I guess I just…

Summer: Cohen! Remember what I said about shutting up.

Seth: Right.

Marissa and Ryan laughed at Seth and Summer.

Ryan: You know what…you two stay here, we'll go in Marissa's room.

Seth: Yes good idea, bye!

Ryan and Marissa turned and walked back out the door. A few seconds later they were sitting on Marissa's bed.

Marissa: So it looks like our plan to have a normal summer will work out.

Ryan just looked over at Marissa.

Marissa: Yeah…probably not.

Ryan: Well…we can try.

Marissa: Yes…we can.

Marissa leaned over and started to kiss Ryan. Ryan lay back on the bed and Marissa lay on top of him, continuing to kiss. After a little while Ryan and Marissa let up and Marissa lay her head on Ryan's chest. They lay in silence for a little while, until Ryan broke the silence.

Ryan: So, how has life been living with your mom and Caleb?

Marissa: You mean life in the dragon's lair?

Marissa looked up at Ryan and Ryan smiled at her.

Marissa: It's weird. My mom is trying to be all buddy buddy with me, and Caleb…well Caleb is never around.

Ryan: Really.

Marissa: Yeah, I think something is going on with him…that or he's just avoiding my mother.

Ryan: Can't see why he'd want to do that.

Marissa: You know, I think Seth's sarcasm is wearing off on you.

Ryan: (Smiling) Maybe a little bit.

Marissa leaned up and kissed Ryan again, Ryan wrapped his arms around her and the happy couple soon fell asleep. The next morning Marissa woke up in Ryan's arms, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Summer: God, look at the two of you…you look so…cute.

Marissa immediately raised her head from the pillow.

Marissa: Summer? What are you doing in here?

Summer: This is my room too ya know.

Ryan who heard voices slowly opened his eyes and saw that Marissa was awake and looking over his shoulder.

Ryan: Morning.

Marissa: (Looking down at Ryan smiling) Hi.

Summer: Morning Ryan!

Ryan turned in bed slightly and looked over at Summer. Summer smiled at him and waved, Ryan immediately turned back towards Marissa and buried his head in Marissa's neck.

Ryan: (Speaking softly so only Marissa could hear) It's too early to deal with Summer.

Marissa laughed a little bit, and looked down at Ryan.

Summer: What are you laughing at?

Marissa: Nothing. What are you doing?

Summer: Packing, we are leaving today.

Marissa nodded and tried to get out of bed but Ryan wouldn't let her move.

Marissa: Ryan, I have to get up.

Ryan: No you don't.

Ryan pulled her closer and tightened his grip around her.

Marissa: Ryan.

Ryan groaned a little bit and eventually let go of Marissa. Marissa gave him a kiss and got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom.

Summer: So Ryan, what's up?

Ryan looked over at Summer and then rolled onto his side with his back to Summer and pulled the covers up over his head. A few minutes later Marissa came out of the bathroom and saw Summer packing and Ryan buried under the covers in bed.

Summer: Your boyfriend is grouchy in the morning.

Marissa: Not usually.

About an hour later Ryan was downstairs loading everybody's bag's into the back of an airport shuttle, and soon after that they all piled in and went to the airport to head home. A couple hours later their plane landed in Newport and the group walked out of the airport.

Seth: Smell that fresh beach air.

Ryan: Seth, we just got back from Tahiti, the whole place is a beach.

Seth: You know what Ryan…

Ryan: What?

Seth: It's good to be home.
