Wow guys, thanks for the speedy reviews!
Chapter 2
Ryan walked into the house to find Seth eating cereal and reading the new Legion. Seth looked up, "Hey man, what happened? I didn't see you yesterday."
"Yeah, I know, I was late at Lindsay's."
Seth nodded slyly. "I gotcha, studying the chemistry between the two of you." Seth winked at Ryan.
"First of all Seth, don't ever wink at me again." Ryan pulled the Captain Crunch away from Seth, "And second of all, ever since last weekend, things have been weird between Lindsay and me."
"Trouble in paradise?"
"Yeah, I don't know. It's just that, I had to deal with all this alcohol drama last year with Marissa, I didn't think I was going to have to do it again this year."
Seth nodded. "So anyways man, lets talk about me. Summer actually gave us a great idea for a comic book!"
"Summer was at this meeting?"
"Yeah, she came with Zach. She was so funny yesterday, we started talking about Luke and then Zach-"
Seth stopped talking as he noticed Ryan giving him a weird look. "What?" he asked.
"Nothing." Ryan replied smiling and taking another bite of cereal.
"No Ryan, that was definitely a something glance. What?"
Ryan smirked again, "So what is this comic book idea?"
Seth seemed to forget all about Ryan's look because he dived right into the idea. "You see, were gonna do a biographical comic book. It's going to be rich kids with powers. Defending the city one mansion at a time!"
Ryan rolled his eyes, "Nice. Is it going to be based on ourselves?"
"Of course Ryan! What do you think about this for your name, 'The Chino Kid.'" Seth asked.
"The Chino Kid?" Ryan replied skeptically, "don't you think that's a little soft for somebody of my aggression?"
"Ryan, you don't get a badass name! You haven't even punched anybody in like 6 months!"
"I'll tell you what Seth, when you're dad gets home from work, we'll rumble in the driveway and then I get a badass name."
"Sounds like a plan. So anyways, Summer and Zach are coming over in like an hour to start our first layout. You wanna join?"
Ryan nodded, "Yeah, sure."
An hour later Ryan was just getting out of the shower and the doorbell rang. "I got it!" Seth answered from the hallway. Seth answered the door to find Summer and Zach standing outside of it. "Hey guys, we can work in the kitchen, I've got some good ideas."
"I doubt that." Summer answered as she walked past Seth into the kitchen. The three sat down at the table, "So," Summer started, "I have to go meet Coop in a little bit, I'm kind of worried about her, she is getting so thin! Are we actually going to do this?"
"Yeah, sure." Zach answered. "So Seth, are we actually going to base these characters on ourselves?"
"Well Zachary," Seth began, "I'm glad you asked, I have a few ideas." Seth pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. "I naturally will have the power of super human wit and intellect."
"Are you sure you don't mean the power to be humble?" Summer asked sarcastically.
Seth did a little fake smile at her and Summer rolled her eyes. Zach looked back and forth between the two of them, expressionless. Seth continued, "I was thinking that my name could be the Quirk."
Summer, who was taking a big drink of soda, choked and covered her mouth.
"You don't like the name Summer?"
Summer started laughing, "Actually Cohen, I think that it is the perfect name!"
Ryan sat down at the table. "So, Seth, what's my power?"
"Ryan, you're powers will be super human strength and the ability to convey thoughts in a single glance."
Zach smiled, "Nice, what's his name going to be?"
"I was thinking somewhere along the lines of The Chino Kid." Seth answered.
Ryan shook his head. Summer looked up, "What about Kid Chino?"
Ryan considered it for a minute and then nodded, "yeah that is just badass enough to know that I mean business."
Zach turned to Summer, "What is your power going to be?"
"Naturally it will be my Sex appeal!"
Now it was Seth's turn to choke on his drink.
Summer reached across the table and hit Cohen playfully across the head, "Shut up Cohen! I managed to lasso two out of three of you guys!"
The table fell silent with akwardness. Ryan broke the silence, "So Summer, what is your name going to be?"
"Well I was thinking of boosting up the ghetto and being 'P. Sparkle'."
Seth laughed again, but agreed. "I was thinking that Zach could have the ability to swim under water without breathing, and your name could be 'Captain Polo."
Zach nodded, "Yeah, that sounds good."
"So," started Summer, "Who else do we have to put in here?"
Zach answered, "Well we definitely need a villain, who could that be?"
Seth chimed in, "Why don't we thank the inspiration for our comic and have the villain be 'The Red Freeze'."
Ryan laughed, "Seth that's perfect!"
Zach cleared his throat to get everybody's attention. "Actually guys, I have some pretty good news."
Seth, Summer, and Ryan looked up at Zach expectantly. "My uncle works at Comiflex in L.A. and I was talking to him on the phone this morning. He loves the idea of a biographical comic book and he actually wants to meet with us this weekend just to see if our ideas are any good."
"Zach that's awesome!" Summer squealed.
"Zach! Why didn't you tell us you had an uncle in the biz!" Seth asked excitedly.
"Cohen, don't say biz, you're not Ryan Seacrest." Summer replied shooting a look at Seth.
"Well Summer, not all of us can be." Seth answered back.
Ryan noticed Zach looking back and forth between Summer and Seth and interrupted. "Seriously Zach, that's cool. Are you guys going up this weekend?"
Zach nodded, "But aren't you coming Ryan? I told my uncle there would be four of us."
Ryan shook his head, "I've got a huge physics test on Monday, I have to spend this whole weekend with Lindsay studying."
"Oh man that sucks," Zach turned to Seth and Summer, "Are you guys in though?"
"Are you kidding? A weekend in L.A.? Duh!"
"And, I'll pretty much go anywhere if it has to do with comics."
Summer looked at her watch, "Oh crap! I've gotta go, I'll call you later Zach to find out what time were leaving ok? Roberts out."
Seth smiled at Summer's joke. Summer approached him, "and that Cohen, is what you call in comedy, bringing it full circle."
Seth stared at Summer as she left, while Zach tried not to notice Seth was staring.
