Disclaimer: Still not owning The O.C. its all Fox and Josh Schwartz...darn it! lol
"We'll just fly back to New York together. We can spend a few days there while I finish typing up all the loose ends. I'll empty my desk at the office since I'm transferring to the Newport office. We can finish boxing up the last few things in my apartment and stay there while you do Letterman. We'll ship the rest of my boxes when we leave New York and we'll just fly back here on Wednesday so we can be back home and you'll still have two days to catch up on your sleep and get ready for the premiere," Seth rambled on.
"Ok. I've got it, Cohen. We're flying to New York together and staying at your place while I do Letterman and you tie up the loose ends. Sounds great," Summer replied.
"And you talked it over with Jerry and he's cool with that? You don't have any interviews here, do you?"
"Cohen! Chill! It's fine. Jerry's so excited that I'm doing Letterman that he couldn't book another interview right now if his life depended on it. He can't stop talking about David Letterman. So don't worry. It's fine. He's cool with it. I'm just glad that we'll have a nice comfy place to stay in New York."
"Well I don't know if you'd really call my apartment comfy. I mean half of the stuff is already being shipped here and the rest of it is basically in boxes," Seth said.
"Oh who cares. I finally get to see your apartment. Hey and maybe we can visit the Nana while we're in the area," Summer pointed out.
"Or maybe we won't have time but if we do, I'm sure we can stop by."
"I can't wait to go to New York with you. This so beats flying there by myself, doing some interview, and flying back to Cali the next day."
"Well this certainly beats me staying in my apartment boxing up the leftovers by myself," Seth laughed.
"Yeah whatever. I'm still not helping you box your crap."
"Oh come on, Summer! Pleeeeease! I just need a little help."
"Cohen, all of the stuff you need is already boxed up. The rest of it is useless junk you refuse to throw away, which by the way that crap is not going in my apartment," Summer stated.
"Ok not all of it but some of it is going in the apartment. Besides, its not all useless junk," Seth defended.
"An eight-year old toaster-oven that doesn't work anymore is not something you need to keep."
"I sweat I didn't know it didn't work. That one item, Summer, one item that was junk."
"It was all junk, Cohen!"
"No. You just need to broaden your horizons and see that they're priceless artifacts."
"They're priceless for a reason. No one would pay anything for that crap," Summer argued.
"Summer."
"Cohen."
Seth sighed and shook his head.

"Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God," Summer kept muttering over and over again.
"First time on Letterman?" a thin red-headed woman asked.
Summer nodded.
"Don't worry. You'll do fine. Just relax. Remember to breathe. And remember, you're Summer Roberts. You're a famous actress and it's about damn time you got your spot on Late Night," the woman smiled.
"Right. Breathe. It's about damn time," Summer laughed.
Ladies and gentlemen, from the upcoming motion picture The War, please welcome Summer Roberts
Summer took a deep breath, plastered on her Hollywood smile, and walked out on stage. She gave a wave to the audience members who were going wild cheering for you. David Letterman stood up from his desk and hugged her before she took her seat.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome," David Letterman said as Summer sat down.
"Thank you so much for having me," Summer replied.
"Your movie The War is premiering this weekend. And congratulations I hear that the critics are just raving about this movie, especially your performance. I've even heard talks of you being top pick for an Oscar nomination for this movie. That is just outstanding."
"Thank you. I'm so excited about this movie. I really loved doing it and apparently those who've seen it adore it so it's always nice to know that your work is being appreciated."
"It seems to be really appreciated. It hasn't even premiered yet and The War is already the talk of tinsel-town. What can you tell us about it?" David asked.
"Well it's basically a war movie. Imagine that," Summer laughed. "But it's got this really great story to it. Um, it pretty much revolves around the two allied soldiers, an American and a British soldier, David Green and Billy Alders. And the majority of the movie is about this bond they form fighting in the trenches together. Until of course I come in and sweep them both off their feet, at different times of course. So it's a love story but it's based in World War II."
"And when you got the script did you think next big blockbuster or were you thinking academy awards here I come?"
"Actually when I first read the script, I just thought it was amazing. I didn't know if it would be a huge blockbuster or Oscar-worthy or anything. I just knew that the writers were excellent and that it had a really compelling storyline based in some historical truth," Summer answered.
"So how did you get the part? Did you audition several times?"
"This is a funny story. See, my manager, Jerry, sent me the script and told me not to really worry about it because the part was some nurse and he assumed that they would want some blonde bombshell type to play the part. So he told me to focus more on my other roles. Naturally, I ignored his advice," Summer said.
Everyone laughed.
"So I really focused on this role because I knew that there was just something about it that I liked. I knew that I wanted this role. So I went into the auditions thinking blonde bombshell and all of that but knowing that I wanted the part. Outside of the audition room, I'm just sitting there and who should happen to sit beside except none other than Mary-Kate Olsen, who you know is blonde. Now I'm thinking that maybe she'll get the part. But I'm also thinking where's Ashley. Anyway, I'm totally stressing about this so much that when I get in there to audition I immediately start rambling about the Olsen twins and not being blonde. So I blew it," Summer explained laughing a little.
"But you couldn't have blown it too bad because you got the part," David chuckled.
"No. I completely blew it. But the casting director's daughter was a fan. So I got a callback for a small role. Nailed the next audition and begged on my hands and knees for a second chance at the role of Elizabeth. I even told them that Elizabeth was my middle name so I was destined for the role or something. Apparently they took pity on me for being so psycho and they gave me another shot. Then I got the callback for Elizabeth and had to audition four more times before I had to audition for the studio and then I got the part," Summer finished.
"You told them you were destined for the part because that was your middle name?"
"Yes. I was very desperate and trying to find any connection or reason that I should have the part and sadly enough that was the best I could come up with."
"Sadly enough you got the part because your middle name's Elizabeth. That or the fact that the casting director's kid loved you," David teased.
"Hey, it's Hollywood. The world works in mysterious ways, especially in Hollywood," Summer giggled.
"Very true. Well ladies and gentlemen stick around because we'll have more with Summer Roberts after the break."
"Cut!"
Summer and David continued to talk during the commercial break.
"And we're on in five, four, three, two, go!"
"Welcome back. I'm sitting here with Summer Roberts one of the stars of the upcoming blockbuster hit The War. So the big premiere is this weekend in Hollywood. Are you excited? Are you ready? What's going through your head about this weekend?" David asked.
"Um well honestly, all of the above. I'm just so incredibly lucky to be involved in something this huge. I've never done a movie of this epic scale before and I'm very excited to see how the public will react."
"Plus you get to do the red carpet being broadcast live on E! because that's just how big this premiere is. This is like the Academy Awards or something."
"It is very exciting to have the E! live broadcast. I guess it's supposed to be a star-studded event. Everyone wants to come see my movie," Summer beamed. "I'm just thrilled about this!"
"Do you have a date for this red carpet event? I imagine we won't be seeing Matt Evans as your escort," David teased.
Summer laughed, "No. Not Matt. But I do have an escort lined up."
"Anyone we know? Your co-stars David Green or Billy Alders? Rumors have been flying about romantic interests off the set and such."
"Actually I'm taking an old friend from back home. I can't believe I'm dragging him to this premiere as his introduction into the spotlight but it's huge and there's really nobody else I'd want to do this with," Summer grinned.
"So not just any old friend from back home?" David smirked.
"No comment," Summer giggled happily.
"Come on. High school sweetheart? What?"
"Something like that."
"Very good. So the high school sweetheart can put to rest all of these rumors surrounding you and you co-stars since your breakup with Matt Evans?" David inquired.
"You're just full of the personal questions, aren't you?" Summer laughed.
"Yes I am so can we get an answer," he continued to tease.
"Yes, the rumors can be laid to rest about me being involved with either one of my co-stars," Summer confessed, blushing.
"That's a blush. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a blush. Can we get a close-up of this?"
"Stop it," Summer laughed.
"Alright. Alright. So this has been a very big year for you? Your career has just sky-rocketed completely and your love-life has been back and forth and on the cover of every tabloid in the U.S. and probably even some over seas thanks to Mr. Alders."
"This year has been huge. So much has happened. My career has completely taken off like you said. I have like no privacy," Summer said light-heartedly. "But I love it. It's all part of the job. My love-life has been on the cover of tabloids and every other magazine this year. Even my best friend got married so it's just been a crazy year. But it's also probably been the best year of my life," Summer smiled, knowing some other reasons why too.
"Well congratulations are certainly in order. And that's all the time we have for tonight. So ladies and gentlemen, be sure to check out the premiere of The War this weekend. And Summer, thank you for coming and good luck with the upcoming Oscar nominations, being in the top ranks is never a bad thing. And congratulations on The War, I hope it is a huge success just like it's already shaping up to be. Good night everyone," David said, closing the show.
"Thank you very much," Summer said shaking his hand as the credits rolled.
"Thank you for stopping by. You're welcome back anytime. It was pleasure meeting you."
"It was a pleasure meeting you, too. Thanks again," Summer said, standing up and going back to her dressing room to change and head to Seth's apartment.
(AN: Ok I officially suck at updating now. I'm really disappointed in myself. But I'm working on it. And I swear I'll try to be better. For the record, I don't own David Letterman or his show. So I know I'm just asking for a law suit w/ celebrity references all the time, but I haven't been sued yet! lol But yeah that whole David Letterman thingy was sort of supposed to take you back to Summer's first television interview. Ya know with the whole panicking before and stuff. I just figured that it'd be good way to show that it's really coming full circle for her career-wise. Kinda like how the premiere of the O.C. and the finale last season were like coming full circle. I thought they really did a good job with that and since I recently rewatched the first season (again lol) I figured I'd try to put some of that creativity into my story. So yeah that was my ramble of the day. Keep on reading!)
