Disclaimer: I don't own the OC. My psychiatrist actually thought it was a good title for a song. Maybe I should see another psychiatrist...
I love all you reviewers. Well, except if you're a ninety years old guy who reads my stories naked...what the heck, I even love you, old guy!
I'm not going to mention this anymore in the other chapters, so just remember it: Every suggestion for this story is appreciated!
"Ew...I can't believe you brought us here."
Summer looked disgusted at the big poster that was hanging onto the building. Ryan and Marissa didn't look too happy either.
"This will be fun," Seth smiled.
"How can you have fun when you're at a comic book event?" Summer asked.
Ryan gazed confused at Seth. How was a comic book event going to be one of the most romantic places of the world? Seth wasn't serious, right?
"Let's get in there. There are some good documentaries about how to make a comic book and in the big hall you can trade comic books."
Seth was very excited and Summer put on her sunglasses. Seth looked at Summer, there was hardly any sun.
"What? I don't want anyone to see me at a comic book event."
"Well, you didn't wear sunglasses at The Juicy Bar last week."
"Yeah, if your boyfriend is gay, that's cool. If people find out my boyfriend likes comics, that could really damage my reputation. Shall we go now? Let's get this over with as soon as possible."
Summer walked to the building, followed by a surprized Seth. He hadn't expected that Summer actually would go into the building. Ryan and Marissa stood still by the car.
"What are we going to do?"
"I think I'm going to have a word with Seth," Ryan said, now he realized this wasn't a joke.

Seth was bending above a table where comic books lay on. Summer still got the disgusted look on her face. Ryan stood beside them.
"Seth? Can I talk to you privately?" Ryan asked.
"Yes...sure."
Summer grabbed Seths arm.
"You can't leave me alone here with all those comic geeks."
"I'm a comic geek too, remember?"
"...yes, but you're the only one who looks kind of normal."
"It will only take a few minutes," Ryan said.
Summer sighed.
"Fine, talk to Chino, but if I get some rash from this, I'll kick your ass, Cohen."
"Only if you get rash? Wow, you're becoming a real softie, Summer," Seth smiled, while he walked away with Ryan.
"Did you hear that, Ryan? I'm the only comic geek who looks kind of normal. She really loves me."
"Nice to know, but now tell me. Comics? Romantic?"
"I have nothing to add to that."
"You don't really think this is romantic, do you?"
"No, but I had to say something to bring you guys with me."
Ryan shook his head, he should have asked what Seth's idea was before coming with him. He first brought Marissa to a gay bar, now to a comic book event. What did he have to do know to make it up to her?
"Just enjoy"
"What are you talking about?" Marissa asked. She had probably followed Ryan into the building.
"About the fun you're going to have here," Seth said, leaving them alone.
"I'm sorry I brought you here. I didn't know...," Ryan apologized.
"Don't feel sorry for me, feel sorry for Summer. God knows where Seth brings her to on Valentine's Day."
Ryan sat on the floor with a desperate look. Marissa sat next to him and stroked his hair.
"We should go to the film room."
"Why would we want to see a documentary about making a comic book?"
"Maybe because it's dark, there are not many people and no one can hear you?"
Ryan smiled. "I'm getting your point now."

Ryan and Marissa stood by the car, seeing a happy Seth with a whining Summer coming towards them. Seth showed a rare comic book he bought to Ryan and Marissa, while Summer already sat in the car. After they've heard everything about the comic book they didn't want to know, Seth asked:
"So, what have you two been doing those last few hours?"
"We took a walk," Marissa answered.
"You didn't even go to the comic book event?"
Marissa and Ryan shook their heads.
"You really missed a lot. You could get an autograph of Spiderman and the comic books were cheap. There were even some rumours about a couple who was making out in the film room, they were kicked out. But I don't believe that, who would make out in there? That's like peeing in the church."
"Eh...yeah," Ryan uncomfortably said, hoping that Seth hadn't seen the blushes on his and Marissa's face.
Seth probably hadn't seen it, because he sat in the car happy with his comic book.

"What are you going to do now to make it up to her?" Summer asked.
They just dropped Marissa off by her house and the three of them were now driving to their own houses. Ryan had thought of an idea himself.
"We're going to Canada for a few days. I only have to book."
"That's a better idea than the comic book event. So, when are we going?" Seth smiled.
Did he just say we ? No, this was going to be a trip for him and Marissa.
"I'll go alone with Marissa."
"What? You don't want us there? We're your friends."
"Yes, but you kind of ruined the first two times I was giving her a present."
"It was an accident you brought her to a gay bar. That wasn't my fault. Cohen brought us to that comic book event on purpose."
"Hey, you went shopping with us the whole afternoon on purpose. That was really mean," Seth said to defend himself.
"Fine, you can come with us on two conditions," Ryan said to prevent himself for hearing another fight between Seth and Summer.
Seth and Summer looked curiously at Ryan.
"You'll pay for your tickets yourself."
"Of course, not a problem."
"And you two aren't going to fight with each other."
"Now, that's going to be a problem."
I'm not quite sure this is a good chapter, because I was tired (and I still am) when I wrote this. I'm going to bed soon now.
Oh, help me out here. Is there a special name for those little carts at the airport where you can put your luggage in?
Goodnight for now.
