"Hey have you seen my cell phone?" Ryan asked Seth.

"Oh yeah I borrowed it, called some people for my party."

"What party?"

"My Birthday party Ryan."

"But your parents aren't giving you one."

"You can drop the act man. Of course they were throwing me one. But I figured it would be the usual Newport party and those tend to not turn out so well. This will be a night to remember Ryan. All you have to do for me is to say these three words."

"Don't say it."

"Embrace the Birthday."

"You're an idiot."

"Hey I just want everyone to be happy on my birthday. It's part of the new selfless Cohen."

"Actually wanting everyone to be happy is still selfish of you and besides there's no way you're going to make me feel better, not today."

"Why?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Ryan said as he went back into the pool house.

"Well fine but while you're off brooding in your little Fortress of Solitude the party is going to begin." Seth said as three teens came outside with musical equipment.

"Oh hey guys you can just set up over here."

"Who are these people?" Seth's Mom asked as she came outside.

"There the band for my party."

"But we had a party planned for you." Kristen said accidentally letting it slip.

"I'm sure you did Mom. What I need you to do now is pretty much stay away from all the food and just greet our guests. I've already got Dad working on the food."

"Sandy!" Kristen shouted at her husband who was setting up a table of refreshments.

"Hey don't worry Honey we can always take away Chrismakah."

"You better pray Jesus and Moses didn't hear that." Seth yelled to his father.

An hour later most of the guests had arrived. Ryan was still in the pool house and hadn't emerged for the party. Seth stood up on a table with a microphone he had gotten from the band.

"Hey I just want to thank everyone for coming. I know probably most of you don't know me but it's my birthday party. So I want everybody to be having fun. If no fun is being had by you I'm afraid you're out of here." Seth said as he noticed Summer in the crowd.

"Also I have an announcement to make. Summer Roberts and I are back together. Come on up here Summer." Seth said to Summer as she reluctantly got up on the table.

"Cohen can we talk somewhere alone?"

"What?"

"It was just break up sex, I don't want to get back together."

"What I can't hear you." Seth said as one of the band's speakers blew causing everyone to stop talking.

"IT WAS JUST BREAK UP SEX!" Summer yelled as loud as she could.

"Oh great and now the whole student body knows it." Seth said quietly.

Ryan came out of the pool house to see the party was in full swing and his Mother standing right in front of him.
