Disclaimer: I don't own the OC and I don't even own the characters in this story, except for a gay guy, a policeman and a security guard. Still wondering why I want to swap with Josh?

Thank you for all your ideas and reviews. Don't stop giving those.

Okay svocfanatic, I live in the Netherlands, so I can't see the WB, but I do know what Smalville is. I've only seen one episode of the show and I don't know much about it, so I'm not sure if it's wise to use it...but I'll think about it.

"To the right."

"No, to the left."

Summer and Seth looked at each other and both sighed. Marissa and Ryan stood behind them. They had been searching for their hotel for a half hour now.

"I think we should go my wa...AAAY," Summer yelled while she fell on the street.

"I don't think your shoes agree with you," Seth laughed.

Summer sat on the ground and looked angrily at one of her shoes. The heel was broken off.

"Stop laughing, you assho...honey," Summer corrected herself when she realized Ryan and Marissa were there as well.

But Seth kept laughing and Summer wouldn't take that much longer. She took off her broken shoe and threw it at Seth. He ducked just in time to avoid the shoe. Ryan, Marissa and Seth looked surprized at Summer, who was still sitting on the street.

"Hey, that was a fight between Cohen and my shoe. I had nothing to do with it," she said, while she was standing.

"How am I supposed to walk on one shoe? Now we have to go shopping this afternoon."

The smile on Seth's face dissapeared and Ryan didn't look happy either.

"Isn't that our hotel?" Marissa pointed at a building not far away from them.

Ryan saw the building and nodded. Ryan, Marissa and Seth walked to the hotel, while Summer followed them stumbling.

The hotel looked perfect. Everything in the hall was very clean and shiny. They walked to the desk where the receptionist stood behind. She looked at Ryan.

"We came to check in," Ryan said.

"Your name?"

"Atwood."

The receptionist typed some things on her computer and looked back at them.

"Ah, the family Atwood."

Ryan nodded.

"Did you just say the family Atwood? Chino is the only Atwood of us, lady," Summer said to the receptionist.

"It's okay, Summer. I wrote all of us in as Atwood, that was easier," Ryan explained to Summer.

"...but the family Atwood? How are we supposed to be related to each other then?"

"I think you would be the annoying little kid of them," the receptionist said, who had a busy day and wanted to do other things. She was tired and wanted to finish this check in as soon as possible.

Seth held Summers arm, affraid she would have a rage black out now. It wouldn't be a great start of the vacation if they were kicked out of the hotel the first day. Summer remained surprizingly cool and only gave a angrily look as answer.

The receptionist gave some information about the hotel and as last she gave the keys of their rooms. Ryan and Marissa went to the elevator to go to their room. Summer looked at the room number that was written on the key.

"Excuse me, lady. I'd like to have another room. I don't want the room next to Ryan and Marissa, I don't like to hear 'my parents' do...anything," she said to the receptionist.

"I can't change rooms, sorry."

"Well, can you at least change my name into Roberts?"

"That will be fine, I'll change it into Ms. Roberts Atwood," the receptionist smiled.

Summer wanted to react, but Seth pulled her with him.

"I'm going to kill that woman."

"I always like to see you agressive, but you can do that when our vacation is over. Let's go to our room to unpack and we'll go skiing after that."

"We're going to the top of...that thing?" Ryan asked scared when he looked at the mountain.

"Yes, you usually go to a mountain to ski."

"I just thought...the mountains were going to be...you know...smaller."

"Don't worry. I'll be there with you and I'm a great skier," Marissa said to him.

Ryan felt a little bit better till he saw the cable rail way. Marissa saw Ryan was scared.

"I'm not going in there."

"I'll distract you, okay?" Marissa tried to get him with her.

Ryan nodded and walked with Marissa to the cable rail way and they sat in it. Ryan looked above, he really didn't want to look what was under him. Marissa thought hard, how could she distract Ryan? Maybe she could tell him about the first time she went skiing.

"The first time I went skiing I was very nervous, just as nervous as you now."

Ryan gave her a gaze.

"Eh...maybe I shouldn't have pointed that out, getting back to the distraction now. Anyway, I went skiing with my father, because my mother...well, you know what my mother is like. She..."

"Please, no stories about your mother. She scares me more than heights, I think."

"Eh...okay...skiing with my father, we were on the top of the mountain and it was really high..."

Marissa stopped for a second. It wasn't smart to tell how high the mountain was.

"Eh...it wasn't that high, not as high as this mountain...eh...forget I said that. I was with my dad on the top of the mountain and he told me to break a leg, you know as a joke, but I fell hard and I did break my leg, so I had to go to the hospital and..."

Marissa looked at Ryan. She had only made him more nervous.

"I guess I'm not very good in distracting."

"You can say that, yeah."

"I know, we'll do the same thing as the first time you was scared and I was there."

She bent her head to his and kissed him.

"Much better distraction," Ryan smiled.

They were on the top of the mountain. The mountain wasn't steep at all and it was a good start for beginners.

"Just try it, what's the worst thing that could happen, besides breaking a leg?" Marissa asked.

Ryan shrugged his shoulders. He didn't want to think about that. He felt uncomfortable standing on skis. Who had ever invented skiing?

Ryan tried to ski and it went alright...for a few meters. Some other skier raced past Ryan through which Ryan staggered and fell. He tried to get up, but he fell again. Ryan heard someone laughing and he looked round, seeing a kid with a snowboard and something else in his hands. Ryan tried to see what is was, but he already found out when he felt the snowball in his face. The kid laughed and was off with his snowboard. Marissa skied to Ryan.

"Are you alright?"

Ryan nodded.

"I just wanted to show you what the worst thing was that could happen without breaking a leg."

Summer and Seth already went skiing before Ryan and Marissa and they stood below, watching other people who were skiing.

"I didn't know you could ski," Seth said.

"What else did you expect from an ice queen like me?"

"I think you look way too hot to be an ice queen."

"Cohen, the deal was not to fight with each other, not to suck up to me."

"Look who are there," Seth pointed at Ryan and Marissa who were skiing towards them.

Well, if you could call what Ryan was doing was skiing. He was actually more tumbling down the mountain. Summer and Seth laughed.

"Don't laugh," Ryan said when he was standing again and was near by Summer and Seth.

"We can't fight and we can't laugh. What are we supposed to do then?"

"You can pray."

Summer and Seth looked confused at Ryan.

"You can pray that nice receptionist is going to let us sleep in the hotel, because I lost the room keys."

Okay, for you, Kursk I made Marissa distract Ryan...sort of. Hope you liked it.

What's going to happen next? I have no idea...
