It was late in the afternoon in Newport Beach, and Marissa's silver Jeep was pulling up the long Cohen driveway. She brought the car to a stop right outside of the large front doors, and then exited the car carrying a small bag with her. Marissa opened the front door, and let herself into the house. The house was quiet, and at first she wasn't sure if anybody was home, but then she heard voices coming from the living room. Marissa made her way into the living room and found Seth and Summer sitting on the couch watching The Valley.

Summer: Hey Coop.

Marissa: Hey Sum, hey Seth.

Seth: How's it goin'?

Marissa: Fine, is Ryan around?

Seth: Yeah…

Marissa immediately started walking for the backdoor.

Seth: …he's in the pool house.

Marissa was halfway out the door before giving a response to Seth.

Marissa: Thanks Seth.

Summer and Seth looked at each other and then went back to watching The Valley. Marissa approached the pool house, and peered through the window. She saw Ryan sprawled out on his back in bed. Marissa slowly opened the door and made her way in without waking Ryan. She set her bag down and stood over the bed smiling. Within a matter of seconds, Marissa had crawled into bed next to Ryan. She shook his arm slightly, and Ryan let out a slight groan, and slowly opened one of his eyes.

Marissa: Hey…wake up.

Ryan opened his other eye and a smile soon appeared on his face.

Ryan: Morning.

Marissa: Don't you mean afternoon.

Ryan: (Smiling) Whatever.

Ryan leaned over in bed, wrapped his arms around Marissa and softly kissed her. After a few seconds the two parted, and Ryan nuzzled his head into Marissa's neck and closed his eyes again.

Marissa: Are you feeling okay?

Ryan: (Mumbling) Yeah…why?

Marissa: It's just not like you to sleep all day.

Ryan: I didn't get much sleep last night.

Marissa: Why?

Ryan raised his head and looked at Marissa, and a sly smile appeared on his face.

Ryan: You.

Marissa looked confused and was about to say something, but Ryan beat her to it.

Ryan: I got so used to you spending the night with me…I guess I couldn't fall asleep without you.

Marissa: Well I had to put in some sort of appearance at my dad's…especially if I'm staying here all week.

Ryan: (Smiling) Yeah, I know…besides, now I have you all to myself for a whole week.

Marissa: How is that any different from any other week.

Ryan: No parents…

Ryan leaned in and kissed Marissa again. He shifted himself on top of her and the two continued to make out, but were soon interrupted by Summer who barged into the pool house.

Summer: God, do the two of you ever let up?

Ryan and Marissa quickly parted and Ryan rolled over in the bed so he wasn't on top of Marissa.

Ryan: (Quietly) No parents, and yet we still get interrupted…

Summer: What?

Ryan: (Quickly) Nothing…I'm going to go see what Seth's up to.

Ryan exited the pool house, and the girls were soon to follow. The three of them walked in the house and found Seth still sitting in the living room.

Seth: Welcome back to the land of the living man.

Ryan gave Seth a confused look.

Seth: I tried to wake you up a couple times, you passed out as soon as we got back from the airport.

Ryan: I was tired.

Seth: Obviously, so…what do you guys want to do for dinner?

Seth looked around the room, but nobody responded.

Seth: How about delivery…cause everybody knows I can't cook.

Everybody agreed and in a short time, their food had arrived, and the foursome was sitting in the living room; which is where they spent the rest of their evening, watching episodes of The Valley, and enjoying each other's company.
