A/N: Thank you all for the wonderful reviews, I have taken them into consideration, but I just can not please everyone, so no matter what happens, I hope you all enjoy the story! (Oh, and for the purpose of this story, Luke, and Marisa are not, and did not ever go out, they are just friends)Thank you! Oh, I don't own the O.C. but hey, I think fox is doing a great job don't you? Love, ELLE
California
"Oh, good morning Seth, how did you sleep?" Kirsten said with a hint of disappointment in her voice that last night had not all just been a dream
"Well, it was okay, but that mattress, whoa! I could feel a pea if it was under it, hey, what a weird reference huh?" Seth rambled
"That is kinda a weird reference, man" Ryan said walking into the kitchen
"Oh, mom, Luke is coming over later to practice some soccer moves" Ryan informed his mother
"Well is he bringing Marisa? Because I am sure Seth would love to meet her!" Sandy said walking into the kitchen also
"Yah, Marisa, and summer are coming" Ryan answered
"Who is Summer, I would never name my kid that, I would hate for them to be teased like I would think they would be" Seth continued to ramble
"Summer is Ryan's girlfriend" Sandy teased, and Ryan's face blushed a light shade of red
"Dad…we just started dating a week ago…"
"You have a girlfriend?" Seth asked Ryan
"Yah, I guess so" Ryan said, this girlfriend thing was still so surreal to him, it was still sinking in
"Cool man, you now anybody else who is looking for a scrawny guy from Chino, who rambles a lot and is very sarcastic to be their boyfriend?" Seth quizzed Ryan
"Well Marisa doesn't judge people from the start, but you better watch out for Summer, she has rage blackouts!"
"Ohh, Seth and Marisa would make such a cute couple!" Kirsten cooed
"What does she look like?" Seth asked to no one in particular
"Why don't you go and find out yourself" Sandy told Seth right before they all heard a light tapping on the back door
"Hey man what's up?" Luke asked, after seeing Ryan wave them in, with his mouth full of bagel
"Nothing much, man, how about you?" Ryan asked, after finishing the part of the bagel he was chewing
"Nothing"
"Who is this?" Marisa, the first one to even notice that Seth was there asked
"Ummmm, do you want to introduce yourself man?" Ryan pondered
"I am Seth Atwood, I stole a car with my brother, got busted, went to Juvie, and know here we are" Seth answered using the same explanation as he had with Ryan
"But why here?" Summer said, finally speaking up
"Oh, Sandy is my lawyer, and I had no where else to go, so he took me here"
"Where are you from?"
"Chino"
"No way! I do not know anyone form Chino! Ew Cohen! How can you live with him?" Summer screeched (using Ryan's nickname "Cohen")
"Sum, calm down, just because he's from Chino doesn't mean he's diseased or something" Marisa said, being the only reasonable one, before extending her hand to shake Seth's
"Marisa Cooper, welcome to California"
"We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for number one
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California (California...) Here we come
On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothings gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinking of the roar Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California (California...)Here we come…" -Phantom Planet
A/N: I got a lot of people who want it to be Seth/Summer, Ryan/ Marisa, but that is to much like the show, I am sorry, I really hope you give this story a chance, but I have got to say this is not going to be Seth/Summer and Ryan/Marisa, so please forgive me, my other story however is Seth/Summer Ryan/Marisa, so you can always read that! Anyways, I love the reviews, and please keep sending them! I would love to read your stories, and I have already read all of the one's you all sent my in your reviews so I am going to post a review soon, don't worry! They were all fantastic, and I highly recommend them to everyone who is an O.C. fan, which I'm guessing is everybody reading this story, lol, well as I said before, thank you all! This story also featured a reference to "The princess and the pea" fairy tale, which I do not own, and Phantom Planet's "California" which is the theme song to the O.C. (which I bet all of you knew that) that I most DEFINETLY don't own! I also had to edit it a little because it was not appropriate for the rating of this story. Thank you all soooooooooooooooo much!
Thank you!
Love,
Elle
