The Duty

The next month was one of the busiest Seth had ever seen. Kirsten and Julie had gone into wedding madness and spent nearly every day planning it, it had to be perfect.

Summer was also getting very caught up in it all and often didn't come home until the early hours of the morning. They were living in a beautiful Newport Group built home only a few minutes away from Seth's parents' home.

Seth had been spending the majority of his time with Ryan, that is, when he didn't have to write for the magazine or Ryan was at work. He was working for The Newport Group, on the architectural team.

The two rarely saw their other halves as they were always working on the wedding. Ryan and Marissa were also living near the Cohen's, a street away from Summer and Seth's temporary home.

Seth had soon realised what his duty, as best man, was. It was to keep himself and Ryan as far away from the women as possible. He discovered this a month after he and Summer arrived in Newport.

It was a Saturday afternoon and Summer had been missing since the early morning. Seth had tried her cell and her voicemail played. He called at Ryan's house. Ryan invited him into the huge living room.

It was decorated expertly and the shapes were very similar of the Cohen's house. There was a dark mahogany table in the corner with lots of photo frames placed neatly on it. Each one contained a picture of Ryan and Marissa at different events and times since Ryan had arrived.

With exception of course to one of the Cooper's, one of Sandy and Kirsten and one of Seth and Summer.

Ryan got them both a drink and dug out a big bag of chips.

"So, you wanna play-station?" Ryan asked, sitting on the leather couch by the window.

Seth had settled in a huge armchair near the T.V.

"Yeah, sure. You got the ninja game?" Seth asked, taking a handful of chips from the bag Ryan had placed alongside of him.

"Uh, I kinda lost it in the move," Ryan shuffled in his seat uncomfortably.

"What? God, man!" Seth sighed.

"Well, we could do something different," Ryan suggested.

"Yeah, something intellectual," Seth joined in.

"We could read, uh, watch the news channel, something in that direction," Ryan said.

They both looked at each other and nodded, unwillingly.

"I have a copy of the ninja game at my house," Seth and Ryan simultaneously sprang up and headed for the door.

"Intellectual? Man, what were we thinking?" Seth pulled up at his house in his rented Range Rover.

"Oh, Summer must be in," Seth saw her black BMW convertible in the driveway. Seth parked alongside the BMW and Ryan climbed out.

"We better be quick, Summer's probably on the phone or watching one of her lame-ass DVD's." Ryan smiled as Seth opened the large oak front door. He spun around as female laugher drifted out from the back sitting room.

"Oh, god. My game's in there," Seth sighed. He gestured for Ryan to follow him. Seth tiptoed and crept around the corners.

"Come on Ryan, we're being stealth!" Seth whispered. Ryan laughed and as they reached the door to the room, Seth went to twist the doorknob quietly, but Ryan pushed him and he flew headfirst into the room, knocking over a tall stack of paper. The paper flew into the air and Seth was laid flat out on the floor.

He looked up and saw 10 pairs of female eyes looking at him. He sprang up and saw Summer, Marissa, Julie Cooper and his mom among the party.

Summer got up and dragged him and Ryan vigorously out of the room, slamming the door behind her. She hit Seth over the head.

"What the hell are you doing, ass face?"

"What? What happened?" Seth rubbed his head tenderly. Summer glared at him and turned to Ryan.

"Chino, we are doing top secret bachelorette party planning! Why did you push him in and ruin it?" Ryan looked at her speechless, muttering 'sorry'.

"I think I've fractured my skull," he moaned, rubbing his head.

"I'd have thought you'd be used to bangs on your head, seen as you were obviously dropped on it several times as a child," Summer said, glaring.

"I told you to stay away today!" Summer yelled. Seth scowled.

"No you didn't," he mumbled.

"What?"

"We'll go. Sorry Summer. And tell Marissa sorry," Ryan called pushing Seth towards the front door. They stumbled out into the bright sunshine, climbing into the Range rover, Ryan drove at top speed and Seth simply stared into space.

"We never got our video game," Ryan sighed.

"Hello? I've just humiliated myself in front of 20 newpsies!" Seth moaned.

"So what do you wanna do?"

"Dig a hole and fall into it," Seth sighed, "I've already suffered extensive skull damage."

Ryan looked over at Seth. He shrugged.

"Well from what I've seen today, I can justify something we once thought, Ryan" Seth said.

"Yeah? What's that?"

"Women are CRAZY!" he exclaimed.
