"No, I kind of think its cute you were willing to do this but it wasn't your idea was it?" Ryan asked.

"Why would you ask that?" Marissa wondered.

"Because this isn't your thing." Ryan replied.

"I guess not but it's ok for a night right. It was Summer's idea." Marissa admitted.

Ryan smiled and admired her a little more before they started kissing.

The entire night was incredible. They feel asleep around 3 in each other's arms. Ryan woke up around 6; the sun was shining bright into his eyes. He got up and put his boxers back on.

"Are you going back to your room already?" Marissa asked sleepily.

"No, not yet." Ryan replied.

"Why did you get up, it was so cozy." Marissa said.

"The sun was shining in my eyes; I'm going to shut the curtains." Ryan replied.

"Oh." Marissa said and waited for him to crawl back into bed next to her.

Ryan crawled back and wrapped his arms around her.

"You were really great last night." Marissa informed Ryan as she shut her eyes.

"So were you." Ryan said yawning.

They both feel asleep again until Summer came into the room at 10.

"Hey love birds; I think you should get up and go back to your room Chino." Summer said.

"Yeah you should Ryan so Sandy and Kirsten don't find out you slept here." Marissa said.

Ryan leaned over and gave her a kiss on the forehead and reached for his pants and shirt. Once he was dressed he went back to his room. Seth was still in bed and Ryan crawled into his to get another hour or so of sleep. Their flight wasn't till that night so they had all day to relax.

About 10 minutes later there was a knock on the door.

"Ryan, answer that." Seth moaned.

"Why can't you?" Ryan replied covering his head.

The person knocked again, this time louder.

"RYAN!" Seth moaned.

Ryan got up and threw his pillow at Seth and went to open the door. Sandy entered and Ryan returned to his bed.

"Come on sleepy heads!" Sandy said.

"Can we have another hour dad?" Seth asked.

"Since when do you two sleep this late?" Sandy asked.

"Now." Seth moaned.

"We have to check out by 1, you two better be ready by then or you're staying in New York." Sandy threatened.

"Just one more hour." Ryan said covering his head with the blanket.

"We're taking the girls out for breakfast; we'll bring you boys back something. Don't sleep in." Sandy said and left. The boys continued sleeping; at around 11:30 Ryan finally was ready to get up. He jumped in the shower and when he was finished he woke Seth up to do the same. By the time Sandy knocked on their door at12 the boys were showered and dressed. Sandy gave them their breakfast and told them to meet everyone in the lobby at 12:30 because they were going to the Nana's, she was opening her gifts at 2.

"Coop did you and Ryan have a good time last night?" Summer asked, "Did he like what you bought for him?"

"Yeah it was so nice. He knew it wasn't my idea to buy it though." Marissa replied.

"That doesn't matter; did he think you looked sexy?" Summer asked.

"He was pretty much speechless." Marissa answered.

"Chino didn't have anything to say, wow that is a shocker." Summer laughed.

"Sum!! So what did Seth said about yours, it was a little wild." Marissa asked.

"Of course he loved it, but honestly I don't think he paid much attention to what I was wearing." Summer said.

"That's because there hardly anything to look at." Marissa teased.

"Thanks Coop." Summer replied, "I'm just happy you and Chino are ok."

"So am I. I can't believe we have to go back to school this weekend, it sucks!" Marissa said sitting down on the bed to wait for Summer to finish. Summer always packed too much stuff.

"We still have today and tomorrow left Coop." Summer said sarcastically, "You're planning kick off carnival right?"

"I guess." Marissa replied, "Dr. Kim wouldn't let me out of it last year so I don't think she'll let me out of it this year."

"Good cause you throw an awesome carnival Coop." Summer said.

Someone knocked on their door and Marissa went to answer it.

"Hey, how did you like your breakfast?" Marissa asked letting him in.

"It was good; I was starved." Ryan smiled and entered. Once he was in the room he dropped his bags and noticed Summer so he pulled Marissa into the bathroom.

"Ryan, what are you doing?" Marissa laughed.

"I just want to do this." Ryan said lifting her up so she was sitting on the bathroom counter and gave her a kiss, "are you wearing what you had on last night?"

"No." Marissa laughed, "You liked it huh?"

"Yeah." Ryan smiled and lifted her down off the counter. Ryan and Marissa returned back to the bedroom where Summer was almost finished packing.

"Hey Chino." Summer said placing the very last thing into her bag.

"Summer." Ryan said sitting down.

"Is Cohen ready?" Summer asked.

"Yeah he's watching TV till its time to check out." Ryan answered.

"What time do we have to check out?" Summer asked.

"One but we have to meet everyone downstairs in like 5 minutes." Marissa said, "We should go."
Everyone followed Marissa downstairs where Kirsten, Sandy and Seth were waiting and headed to the Nana's apartment.

Nana's apartment was a tiny little thing. It had two small bedrooms, only big enough to put a bed and a small dresser in. The bathroom was small as well, it had a stand up shower sink and a toilet and barely enough room to get dressed in. The living room and dinning room were joined and was cluttered with pictures and momentums that the Nana kept over the years. The kitchen was definitely the largest room and the most modern. There was a brand new stove and refrigerator; it was obviously that the Nana spent a lot of time in it.

"Ryan where did you put the wedding gift we bought?" Marissa asked pulling Ryan aside from the crowd.

"I brought it here yesterday when we stopped by, it's with the others." Ryan replied.

"I thought I had it and I couldn't find it anywhere today." Marissa said.

"Why didn't you ask me about it earlier when I was in your room." Ryan asked.

"I must have forgotten about it until now." Marissa replied.

Sandy motioned for Ryan and Marissa to grab some food before they sat down to watch the Nana and her new husband open their gifts. Marissa wasn't very hungry so she put a couple of pieces of fruit onto Ryan's plate instead of getting her own. Ryan pilled his plate high with different stuff that looked good and went to sit down on the couch; Marissa sat next to him.

Ryan bite into a spring roll, "You have to try this."

Marissa took a bit of it, "Ryan, it's a spring roll."

"It's good." Ryan said.

"Yeah but it tastes like every other spring roll." Marissa laughed, "Have you ever had a spring roll?"

Ryan shook his head and Marissa smiled at him; he looked so cute when he says something strange or different.

The Nana and her husband opened the gifts; well mostly the Nana opened them and he watched.

Seth and Summer bought them a scroll for their marriage certificate and engraved in it was an engraving wishing the newly weds 'good luck and prosperity love Seth and Summer' and the Nana loved it
Marissa and Ryan bought them a beautiful picture frame that matched the scroll Summer and Seth gave the Nana. The Nana loved it as well.

Kirsten and Sandy gave their gift last; Sandy passed his mother a key chain and a card. The Nana looked at Sandy with a confused look and opened the card. Inside she found a key and a note written that she now opened a house just outside of the city. Sandy and Kirsten knew she wouldn't want anything large or spectacular or far from where she always lived, but Sandy wanted to give her something she deserved for working so hard to raise the family as a single mother. Kirsten was a little afraid of how the Nana would take the gift.

"Thank you both so much." The Nana said and hugged both, "This is a very generous gift and we both appreciate it so much."

Kirsten smiled at the good reaction, "Sandy wanted to give you something that you've worked your whole life for because you deserve it."

"And we didn't go over board because we know you don't like materialistic things. The house is comfortable, not overly big and not far from the city. I think you're going to love it mom." Sandy said.

Sandy's brother and sister thought it was a beautiful idea as well and helped furnish it.

"Rebecca and Joe furnished the house for you." Sandy informed.

The Nana thanked her other children for the generous gift. Sandy wanted to take the Nana to her knew home before they had to leave so Sandy, Rebecca and Joe left with their mom and her new husband to check out the house.

Summer, Marissa and Kirsten tied up the apartment while they were gone. They returned to the house about 3 hours later, just before it was time to head to the airport.

"So what did you think? Did you like it?" Kirsten asked

"We loved it, you two couldn't have picked out a better house." The Nana said.

"I'm so glad; we have to get going to the airport Sandy." Kirsten said.

"Yeah we should get going." Sandy replied.

Everyone said their good byes and left for the airport and boarded the plane 2 hours later.

"That was a really nice trip; I think your mom really loved us being there." Kirsten said.

"I know, she said that to me countless times. We should visit her more often." Sandy replied.
"After she told us she had cancer I promised myself that if she survived we'd visit her often." Kirsten said, "It's sort of sad for her to get cancer for us to finally do what we should have always done."

"We can't change the past but we can always change the future." Sandy said kissing his wife.

The movie, Butterfly Effect, was playing on the plane so the friends were fairly quiet for the first 2 hours; since the movie requires all of your attention. After the movie a dinner was passed out to the passengers.

Ryan was studying the chicken that was given to him before he started to eat it.

"Ryan that is called chicken." Marissa said in a teasing way.

"Oh really." Ryan said nudging her in the side.

"Yes, it is a type of bird that usually lives on a farm." Marissa said sarcastically.

"Wow! That is good to know." Ryan replied wrapping his arm around her head in a playful way.

"This time there is no pool to throw me in buddy." Marissa laughed.

"Just wait till we get home." Ryan said.

"Are you threatening me Atwood?" Marissa asked.

"No it just a warning." Ryan replied.

Marissa started to yawn.

"Tired?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah." Marissa replied.

Ryan reached down and grabbed a pillow that was on his seat when he got onto the plane and placed it on his shoulder, "Here lye down; go to sleep."

Marissa did what he said and fell asleep. After a few minutes Ryan felt tired and rested his head on Marissa's and fell asleep.
