Seth rolled over and looked at his bedside clock. 7:45. 'Ugh' he thought, 'never drinking again'. He rolled back over and saw Ryan.

"RYAN!" He yelped and fell off the bed.

"Seth are you ok?" Ryan asked, concerned.

"OK dude what the hell are you doing here? Are you a dream?" Seth proceeded to squint warily at Ryan.

"How hung over are you? Don't you remember last night?"

Seth thought back and thoughts formed. It finally clicked. Ryan had appeared last night from the bus stop and Seth had been ecstatic to see him. They talked for a while about what had happened with Theresa and what's been happening with Seth, then him, Luke, and Ryan celebrated the reunion by getting pissed.

"OK I got it!" he said. 'Wow, definitely don't yell.' His head was killing him. "And now I need advil. Strong advil."

"You know I think I am so used to drinking that it doesn't bother me that much anymore, although I didn't drink as much as you did." Ryan laughed, "I think at one point you wanted to run around naked."

"Thank God you stopped me bro." Seth sighed. "So what's the G.P?"

"Game plan?"

"Yah"

"Um I dunno… I guess if you're staying here than I will too"

"You know Ryan I think we should go back… you know, see what kind of terror has happened now that the Seth-Ryan team has left."

"Yah we could do that, plus I miss the rents… and you know…"

"Have you spoken to them the girls since you left?" Seth asked.

"Well one after I left but its two months since…you?"

"No. I mean how do I face them? I basically ditched Marissa when times got rough for her too, and don't even get me started on Summer. I mean what kind of boyfriend am I?"

""Whatev man everything was just fucked up. Lets go back and take it one step at a time."

"Sounds like a plan."


The next day Ryan and Seth walked up their driveway back home. Luke's dad had driven them since he had business nearby. Seth had left his boat with them saying he'd come back later to get it.

"God this is gonna be tough" Seth looked at the front door "Maybe we should just go back to the pool house and go over what we'll say"

"Come on man this is gonna be hard anyways, might as well get it over with." Ryan walked up and opened the front door.

"Ssh... maybe they won't hear us. Be stealth." Seth tiptoed in.

"Who's there?" they heard Kirsten from the kitchen.

"Nevermind" Seth said glumly.

"Ah..hi" Ryan called.

Kirsten rounded the corner and stopped dead. "OH MY GOD! SANDY!" she yelled.

Next thing they knew Kirsten had thrown herself at her boys. "Where were you guys? We missed you so much! Well I knew where you were Ryan, but SETH!" she smacked him. "Where the hell have you been?"

"Mom! Lets go grab some coffee and sit down and talk ok?"

Sandy walked in and did the same as Kirsten had. First the hug, then the smack on Seth.

"Guess I'd better get used to that" he told Ryan.

Ryan nodded and led the way into the kitchen.
