After checking in and finding the hotel rooms, one with a king size bed and two with two doubles, Both Sandy and Kirsten decided to explore the hotel while the kids went out to the lake. Sandy had set up for them to have use of a motor boat and a jet ski over the next two days. Sandy told them they couldn't take the boat out today but they could use the jet ski if they wanted. Since only two people could go on at once Ryan decided to take Marissa first.

"You ready" asked Ryan as he and Marissa searched through life jackets from the large pile by the dock.

"Well considering I've never been on a jet ski before, I really don't know what to expect"

"Well I don't know what to tell you considering neither have I"

"What!"

"What do you mean 'what'? I'm from Chino remember, at least you're from Newport, I figured you had been on one before"

"No I haven't so you better not kill me Atwood" Marissa warned as she pointed a finger in his direction.

"I'll do my best, plus you have a life jacket if anything happens" he said as he threw a jacket he had just picked up at her, they both began to put theirs on. Ryan was done quickly but Marissa was a different story.

"Jeez, did a giant wear this last" she complained as she tugged at the overly pulled out straps tying to got them tighter but to no avail.

"Here let me help" Ryan walked over to wear she was standing and began to tighten the straps, when they were finally tight enough, Ryan began to pull on then making Marissa move with them

"Hey, hey Ryan no fair you bigger and stronger than me" Marissa laughed

"Oh ya well I'll take that as a complement" Ryan stopped pulling on the vest and started to move closer to her.

"Well good, it was supposed to be" She smiled, as she leaned in and kissed him.

"Lets go" Ryan said as he broke the kiss grabbing Marissa's hand and leading her to the dock were the jet ski was, he helped her on and then climbed on himself, Marissa wrapped her arms tightly around Ryan's back as he made the jet ski speed off full force making Marissa's scream with a mixture of delight and fear.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Seth and Summer had wanted to wait at the restaurant by the dock but after the had finished the fries and drinks they bought a worker came by and shooed them away saying there were to many people looking for a seat and they were loitering. So the walked about an eighth of a mile away from the dock where Seth found a big rock to sit on.

"Aren't you going to sit" he asked Summer when she made no attempt to come and sit with him.

"Like ew Cohen and get my clothes all dirty, ah, no."

"Suit yourself" Seth snickered as he continued to sit while Summer stood with her arms crossed looking out on to the lake. After about five minutes Seth got bored and jumped off the rock. He picked up a few of the flatter stones and walked to where the water met up with the land in small waves. He began to skip the stones with ease. Summer watched in admiration as the stones were going far past the length she thought was capable.

"Ya know I've always wanted to be able to do that" Summer alleged, breaking the silence. Seth turned his head and smiled at her.

"Come here I'll show you" Summer walked over to him as he handed her a stone.

"You want to find flat smooth ones, the skip the best"

"Ok"

"Now hold it like this" Seth positioned the stone in Summer's hand, and then you just fling it with a twist of the wrist like this" He put his hand on top of hers and moved her wrist in the motion she should have.

"Ok ready and 1, 2, 3 fling' She flung her hand as his guided her movement and the stone successfully skipped on top of the water, It wasn't as good as Seth's but it still made it pretty far.

"Good job"

"YES" Summer turned around and planted a kiss on Seth's cheek

"I should teach you stuff more often"

"Ha ha, give me another stone I want to do it again, alone"

He handed her another stone but when she tried to throw it, it just flopped into the water.

"No your not turning your wrist right" Summer shot him an evil glare, He grabbed her hand and showed her how to move it once more." Now try"

Luckily this time when she did the stone flew from her hand and went happily skipping on the water until it lost momentum and sank.

"Yes!"

"I see I've taught you well" Seth gloated.

"I'm not complainin" remarked Summer, they smiled at each other until they heard Ryan and Marissa, obviously back from their ride, calling to them.

"Hey how was it" asked Seth

"Fun"

"Did you just call something fun, the last time you said that you were trying to keep me from knowing my mom was sleeping with my ex."

"Yeah well, at least I wasn't afraid"

"I was not scared, I was just, just, nervous"

"Its ok I don't mind you being afraid"

"Well as long as your there to protect me"

"Always"

"Good" Ryan and Marissa, who had been making the gap between them smaller and smaller since the start of the conversation, finally closed the gap and kissed, until Summer broke it with a monumental,

"ew"

"Even though it's a rare occurrence, Summers right" Seth teased "we're in public"

"Fine, fine" Ryan stated obviously trying to halt the argument between Seth and Summer that would surly comefrom Seth's last comment "it getting late we should probably get back to the hotel to get ready for the party"

"Yeah Ryans right lets go" Marissa pushed

With that they all began to walk back to the hotel, but not before Summer hit Seth in the arm.
