Okay guys thanks SO much for all of the great reviews.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything except Natalie!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
As they all sat around the Christmas tree exchanging gifts, Marissa couldn't help but notice Ryan staring at her the whole time. She shot him a smile. He blushed and smiled back. They were almost through with exchanging gifts when a small gift was found by Natalie.
"Hey there's one more here…it's for you Marissa."
Marissa took the small box and saw the inscription it was from Ryan. She looked at him and he smiled. Everyone watched her open it with curiosity. Marissa opened the box. Inside was a silver necklace with her name written in diamonds. She looked at him and he gave her a shy smile. Summer watched her best friend. She wished that Ryan and Marissa could overcome their differences and realize that they should be together. After that, Natalie went upstairs to try on her new clothes, Seth and Summer went to spend some time alone together, Ryan went to his room as did Marissa. Marissa plopped on her unmade bed and looked at her necklace. She scrimmaged through her bag and pulled out a picture of her and Ryan taken at the beach. Ryan had given her that picture…

Seth and Summer had gotten back into their room when Summer saw something…a wrapped gift sat on their bed…it was from Natalie to Summer. Summer grabbed it and opened it…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Natalie sat on her bed watching the Valley. She jumped when her door shot open and was playfully attacked by her cousin to be.
"AAAAHHHHH….OMG…"
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU."
At that moment Seth came in and stood at the door watching. Natalie noticed him.
"For?"
"How did you know that the Valley was my favourite show and how did you know that I didn't have season 7 on DVD yet?"
"Well your one of a kind fiancé led me in the proper direction."

December 31st came in a flash. Once again New Years Eve was to be held at their place. About 50 people were coming and Ryan and Seth helped decorate the basement while Marissa and Summer watched them from a distance. Natalie helped Ryan with the heavy lifting of things and Seth just set tables and the karaoke machine. Natalie downloaded a few tunes so people can sing through the mic. Summer noticed Marissa constantly looking at Ryan and when Ryan looked back at her they would lock gazes for what seemed like forever.
"Coop? COOP?"
Marissa snapped out of her tranz.
"Yeah?"
"Are you okay? You seem to be…I dunno…so away in your own land…what's up?"
"Hmm?"
"See what I mean?"
"Okay it's just…Ryan."
"Chino? What about him?"
"I think I may be falling for him again."

Later that night Seth introduced Summer to various relatives. They were all pleased to meet her and when she was out of site they all gave him a thumbs up. The Seth did something that he'd never thought he'd have the guts to do. Summer saw him go towards Natalie who was at her laptop. He them took a microphone and spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen may I have your attention please?"
Everyone went silent.
"Thank you. As most of you know I'm pretty sure that this DOES come as a shock to you but I am engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world. Summer…"
He gazed at her with love in his eyes and she did the same back to him. His relatives knew that she was a keeper.
"…I just want everyone here to know just how much I love her…Nat? Would you uh…do the, the thing please?"
Natalie clicked something on the laptop and blasted the volume.
"Now ladies and gentlemen this song right here is one that Summer and I had out first dance to…when we first got together on Valentine's day…
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
All the roads that lead you there are winding
All the lights that Iight the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You re my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
Your gonna be the one that saves me
Your gonna be the one that saves me
Your gonna be the one that saves me
After Seth finished he grabbed Summer and she kissed him…they were surrounded by whoops and whistles and Natalie spoke through the mic.
"Let's give these two a round of applause guys c'mon. Let's give them a dance shall we?"
Natalie put another song on but this time with words.
I won't talk
I won't breathe
I won't move till you finally see
That you belong with me
Ryan walks up to Marissa and holds his hand out to her.
You might think I don't look
But deep inside
In the corner of my mind
I'm attached to you
I'm weak
It's true
Cuz im afraid to know the answers
Do you want me too?
Cuz my heart keeps falling faster
While they're dancing Seth and Summer look their way.
I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
Marissa sees Ryan looking at her.
"What?"
Ryan kisses her.
You don't know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
I'm afraid to move
I'm weak
It's true
I'm just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know u met me?
Marissa stops the kiss and looks at him.
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
I know when I go ill be on my way to you
The way that's true
Marissa kisses him again.
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
"Ladies and gentlemen? I am looking at my watch and we have 2 minutes to midnight."
Kirsten starts to hand out horns and such. Seth drags Summer to the middle of the basement under the disco ball that explodes and confetti bursts out. Ryan drags Marissa there as well (I noticed that Seth and Summer never had a New Years kiss with each other so this one will be detailed).
"30 seconds."
Seth grabs Summer by the waist and pulls her closer to him.
"15 seconds"
Ryan looks at Marissa longingly and she smiles at him.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
As soon as they heard those words confetti went everywhere and Seth just kissed Summer as if there were no tomorrow.
"I love you Summer."
She smiled and kissed him once again.
Marissa kissed Ryan.
"Happy New Year."
