Wow! Chapter 10! Never thought I'd make it this far...but here it is. Hope you like, I brought in some drama in this one! Jamie

"Is everybody packed?" Summer asked, putting her last bag in the car.

"No. Close to it though." Marissa replied, putting a few more things in her bag.

"Where's Chino?" Summer asked looking around.

"He went to brush his teeth. I guess he's packed. I think he packed last night, he's so ready to go home." Marissa said putting her brush in her bag.

"Well, it was fun, until we all got green hair." Summer said, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"Yeah. At least Seth has a hat he can wear. It's not that fair, it was his idea…and he barely has to suffer through it." Marissa replied.

"Hey. I'm ready." Ryan yelled walking back to where Marissa and Summer were. "Where's Seth?"

"I thought he went with you." Summer answered.

"No. I went alone." Ryan replied, picking up Marissa's bag and putting in the car.

"Then where's Seth?" Summer asked worriedly.

"I asked you." Ryan replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"Ryan, is he just acting like he's gone, but really he went with you? If you guys are pulling…"

"No, Summer I went alone." Ryan said interrupting her. "Promise."

"Then where is he?" Marissa asked, starting to worry as well.

"What's up?" Seth yelled, walking towards everyone.

"God! Seth! Where were you?" Summer asked hitting him on the arm.

"Umm…ow. I was at the bathroom." Seth answered rubbing his arm.

Summer glared at Ryan. "He wasn't with me." Ryan said in his defense, not wanting to get hit.

"No, I went to the other one…over there." Seth said pointing to another restroom across the path.

"Whatever. Let's go." Summer said, pulling Seth's to the car.


"Oh, my God! What happened to your hair!" Kirsten asked hysterically.

"Um…we went swimming and the chlorine dyed our hair." Seth replied sarcastically.

"Seth!"

"It was an accident."

"Seth!"

"It'll wash out in about two weeks." Seth said, worried about what Kirsten was going to do.

"Ryan!"

Ryan looked shocked. Kirsten never used that tone with him.

"It was the shampoo…a little prank. It washes out in two weeks." Ryan said looking down.

"I should ground you guys…but I'll let this one slide." Kirsten said looking closer at Seth and Ryan's hair. "Where are the girls? Do they look like this too?"

"We took them home. And yes, they do Mother."


"Hey Kiddo…your hair is…green. What happened?" Jimmy asked hugging Marissa.

"Um…long story. But it'll wash out. Did everything go okay here…with mom?" Marissa asked quietly, afraid of the answer.

"Um…yeah. I took care of everything. She's mad. But she'll live. She promised to let this kind of handle itself. And for the time being you can stay with me, or Summer if you want more room. Either way is fine with me." Jimmy said.

"I'll stay with Summer. I mean, she has a room for me and stuff." Marissa replied hoping that she didn't hurt his feelings. "You sure that's okay though?"

"Yes. Of course. I understand." Jimmy said smiling at her.

"Cool. So, thanks Dad."

"No problem Kiddo."


3 Weeks Later

"Okay Coop. Girls night out!" Summer screamed. "No boys."

"Yeah? Except…I don't know. I'd rather stay in. Be comfortable." Marissa replied.

"Okay. Girls night in." Summer said smiling at Marissa.

"Okay." Marissa said laughing.


"Hey Coop! You won't believe what I found!" Summer ran inside her room where Marissa was laying on the bed eating chips.

"What?" Marissa asked, putting another chip in her mouth.

"The video of all of us. You remember? It was on the beach that night…like a couple of days after we painted your room."

"You still have that?" Marissa asked, smiling, remembering how that was right after her and Ryan got back together.

Summer smiled and put the tape in. She sat by Marissa and reached in for some chips.

On The Tape

"No Seth! I don't want to! That water's freezing!" Summer screamed as Seth tried to pull her into the water.

"C'mon Summer, it'll be fun." Seth asked using puppy dog eyes.

"No Seth!"

Marissa stepped in front of the screen. "C'mon Ryan. Give me the camera."

"No."

"Yes. You have to be on the tape too."

"No I don't." Ryan argued.

"Please." Marissa pleaded. But Ryan wouldn't give her the camera. Marissa started pulling on it and shaking it.

"Ryan c'mere man! Look what I found!" Seth yelled, waving his arms for Ryan to go to where he was.

Ryan finally let go of the camera and Marissa took over.

"What?" Ryan asked, stopping where Seth was, which was right next to the water. Seth and Summer both grabbed him and pushed him into the water.

Marissa started laughing as a wet, pissed off, Ryan came out of the water to grab Seth. Which he did successfully, and threw him into the water. "What about Summer?" Seth asked coming out of the water.

Summer ran to Marissa and took the camera. "Hey Summer…" Marissa started to protest.

"Coop! If I have the camera, he won't get me." Summer said, out of breath.

"Yeah. That's what you think now." Ryan replied and walked back over to Seth.

The tape went blank and then it showed Ryan and Summer in Ryan's Pool House.

"Ha ha! I got the camera now!" Seth said zooming in on Ryan's annoyed glare.

"Seth, stop it." Ryan said. "I don't like being on the camera."

"Why? Are you afraid you'll look fat?" Seth asked in a baby-ish tone.

"Who looks fat?" Summer asked, obviously, she was zoned out throughout their conversation.

"You." Ryan answered, laughing at his comment.

"Hey!" Summer screamed, slapping him on his arm.

"Ow. That really does hurt." Ryan said rubbing his arm.

"I told you." Seth replied. "I've still got bruises."

"Shut-it Cohen." Summer said going to the bathroom where Marissa was. "Coop. Let me in there with you. Ryan's being a jerk."

Marissa opened the door and Summer scrambled in. "Why do you think I came in here?" Marissa stated, smiling at Ryan.

"Well, this is getting boring. Let's play some PS2." Seth said, setting the camera down and turning it off.

The tape went blank.

Summer and Marissa laughed. "Some things never change." Marissa said to Summer.

"I know…Coop? Are you okay? Summer asked seeing Marissa had a sick look on her face.

"I think I'm gonna…" Marissa ran off of the bed and into the bathroom. Summer went after her.

"Coop…are you okay?" She asked outside the bathroom door. He question was quickly answered when she heard Marissa throwing up.

A few minutes later Marissa came out.

"Are you okay?" Summer asked again.

"Yeah. I mean, I just got sick all of a sudden. But I'm okay now, I think." Marissa answered.

"Okay Coop."

"Do you have any Tylenol though? I kind of have a headache."

"Yeah. I'll get it for you."

"Thanks….um, Summer?"

"Yeah?"

"I think…I think…I'm…late."


"Okay Coop. Yeah, I got one." Summer said into her cell phone. She looked at the pregnancy test in her hands. "I'll see you in 30 minutes…Bye." She hung up her phone.

"Summer!" Seth called from another aisle. "What are you doing here?"

Summer immediately put the test behind her back and picked up a box of tampons that were nearby. 'Way to contradict yourself moron.' She though to herself. "I'm just picking up a few things. What are you doing here?" She asked trying to change the subject.

"Ryan's sick. I came to get him some medicine. I think it's just a cold or something though, maybe strep throat. What kind of things are you picking up?" Seth asked trying to see what she was hiding.

"Stuff…girl stuff." She tried to cover. But Seth saw the box and his eyes got wide.

"Summ…Summ you aren't…um…please tell me you're not…" Seth stuttered.

"No Cohen. I'm not. This isn't for me." Summer stated, relieving Seth of his worst fear.

"Then who's it f…..Oh my God! Marissa?" Seth asked freaking out.

Summer looked down. "Let Marissa tell him okay."

"Okay. I won't tell him." Seth said, feeling so bad for Marissa and Ryan…they'd both already been through way too much. "I promise."
