Author's Note: So I really like this chapter…it is probably my favorite that I have written so far. I think that everyone will really like it too, a little humor and a little sadness. Thanks for all the great reviews and I hope you enjoy. NOTE: The italicized in the story is a flashback for Seth.


Seth skulked around the kitchen, grabbing the bagels and juice in the process. As he toasted the bagel his mind drifted to the day before.

Seth nuzzled his head into Georgia's hair, "So, this is going to be nice. Five days of us together; no work, no stress, no traveling."

Georgia sat up quickly, "We need to talk about that….I am going away."

Seth followed and sat up in the bed, "Going away? For how long?"

"Three weeks…"

Seth started to get out of bed, "You weren't going to tell me about this, were you?"

"It's just…I have to go. I didn't want to leave on a bad note and I know Friday was a bad note."

He started to put on his clothes, "I can't be mad at this...at you, it's not what we're about."

Georgia came up behind him, "I love you Seth Cohen." She kissed along his neck. He turned around and faced her, "I love you too. I gotta get ready for work." He kissed her and walked out of the room.

"Seth?"

He awoke from his thoughts, "Hey mom…so when are the ladies of Newport coming."

"In about three hours. I just wanted to make sure you were decent before the caterers came."

"Thanks for that Mom. You want a bagel?"

"No thanks. How long are you planning on staying here, Seth?"

"Wow, that really makes me feel welcome in my childhood home."

"I'm just worried about you, that's all."

Seth walked around the island to reach his mom, "This weekend I am going back to my loft. I'll only be around for the occasional dinner and party."

"So I saw the Georgia left early this morning."

"She had to catch a flight. She's going to Washington for three weeks."

"Oh…" The doorbell rang, "That's the caterers."

Kirsten walked out and left Seth to eat his food. He walked back upstairs and laid in his bed. Pulling out his drawing pad, Seth blared Death Cab and sketched to his hearts content.

As she got out of her car, Summer met with some of the ladies and they walked inside. Kirsten appeared to be relieved to see her, as Summer could hear Julie Cooper rambling on in the other room. She nearly fell asleep half way through the luncheon as Paula Hart discussed the upcoming benefit. The ladies stopped conversing to eat and Summer saw this as her opportunity to disappear. She snuck up the stairs and followed the music to Seth's room. Summer knocked lightly and pushed open the door. Seth heard the creak and looked up from his sketch. He stood up quickly, unsure of how to handle the situation.

"Summer, what are you doing here?"

"I could only take so much of the ladies downstairs. I figured you could use some company."

"I wanna apologize for the other night. I shouldn't have been such an asshole."

"You weren't an asshole. We barely know each other; I shouldn't have pushed the idea of being friends."

Seth walked closer to her, "You didn't push the issue. Since we have both apologized, why don't we just forget about it?"

"I can do that. So, I hope you're bored because I don't plan on going downstairs anytime soon."

"Just working, but I am not a big fan of that so you are welcome to stay as long as you like."

Summer sat on Seth's bed and laid her body against the headboard, "I say we watch a movie."

"I enjoy movies, particularly 70's kung fu flicks; you know the ones where their mouths don't match their voices."

"Uhhh…Seth if we are on the way to being friends, I think you need know something. I don't do actions flicks, now romance…that is definitely the way to my heart."

"What did you have in mind exactly?"

"How about 13 Going on 30 or oh…I really like that one with Jennifer Lopez and the hot guy."

"The Wedding Planner…."

She pointed at him, "Yeah, that's the one…wait, how do you know that movie?"

"I'm a movie connoisseur and therefore it is my responsibility to know various movie titles." Summer gave him a disbelieving look, "Alright…alright. I may have watched that movie a few times, but only because my dad puts up a tough fight when it comes to chick flicks. I lost rock, paper, scissors twice to the old man and was forced to watch the movie with my mother." He turned and began to walk out of the room.

"Seth, where are you going?"

"The viewing of chick flicks requires me to break into the Kirsten Cohen collection of movies. I am also going to get us some catered food downstairs, so you don't have to force yourself through the Great Wall of Newpsies."

"You are definitely my hero Seth Cohen."

He smiled before he left, "Only one of my many talents Ms. Roberts."

While Seth was downstairs facing the barrage of ladies, Summer took a few minutes to look around his room. There were plenty of posters and pictures, but only one thing caught Summer's eye. When Seth walked back in the room, he noticed Summer on the bed with someone special.

Summer smiled when she saw Seth walk in, "So, who's this?"

Seth put the food on the table and walked towards his bed, "Why don't you just give him back?"

Summer stood up on the bed, "Not until you tell me who this is."

Seth reached and Summer hopped off the bed. He chased her around and they struggled for the toy horse, when Summer fell back onto the bed causing Seth to fall on top of her. They faces were inches apart and Summer felt a bolt of electricity go through her body. Seth inched ever closer to her face and then grabbed the horse from Summer. He brought it in between their faces and spoke up, "If you must know, this is Captain Oats."

"He's very handsome."

"I'll be sure to tell him that you think so."

Summer wiggled a little, "Hey Seth, do you think you could get up. That food smells really good."

Seth realized that he was still on top of her, "Oh yeah, sorry."

They got up and straightened their clothes. Summer grabbed her plate of food and sat on the ground. Quickly Seth joined her and they ate, waiting to talk after they were finished.

"I must confess. I myself own a horse."

Seth was surprised by this comment, "You do…please elaborate."

"Her name is Princess Sparkle. I have had her since…as long as I can remember. She helped me get over many a boy."

"Captain Oats should meet Princess Sparkle. They could make quite the super couple."

Summer laughed at this, "You are such a dork, Seth Cohen."

"Am I really, because I never noticed…."

Summer inched her face closer as they leaned towards each other.

"Definitely, a huge dork…"

There was silence for a few moments until Seth spoke up, "We better get that movie started."

Summer was disappointed, but didn't show outwardly. "I guess your right."

Seth lifted the two boxes up, "So what will it be? Romantic comedy 13 Going on 30 or romantic comedy The Wedding Planner."

Summer scrunched her face, "Tough decision, but I will have to say The Wedding Planner." She smiled when she saw Seth grit his teeth.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"No, I really like that movie, plus the guy in it is really hot."

Seth put the DVD in and then joined Summer on the bed. She curled up against him and Seth found himself putting his arm around her. Before the movie started Summer looked up at him.

"I'm really glad that we can be friends Seth." She looked back at the television, but Seth left his eyes on her.

"Yeah…me too."
