Seth was walking out of the studio after a long day of filming. Man was it long. He had been having a lot of trouble with the actors lately. It seemed as though no one could act out Atomic County to the level he wanted it at. He wanted it to be real, like it had been for him, and for Summer, and Ryan and Marissa. The producers only cared about the ratings while Seth was more focused on the fact that he wanted it to be perfect.

"Seth! My man! How's it going bro?" Seth's best friend Matt grinned from the other end of the street and jogged over to Seth.

"Matt? What are you doing here man?" Seth asked once Matt got closer.

"Well I knew you'd be finishing filming around now, so I wanted to tell you about this killer party that Shane West is throwing. Like dude, it's going to be the party of the year." Matt handed Seth the flyer.

Seth took the sheet of paper from Matt and looked it over.

Shane Invites You…

To the best, fucking blast of the year

10:00

p.s. Bring extra beer

Laughing Seth pocketed the flyer. Matt was always getting them invites to the best Hollywood party's in LA. They usually ended up being a bunch of twenty-something year old actors and actresses who were either too stoned or too drunk to do anything. Seth usually left by midnight anyways, but he always went because Matt loved the parties. "Ok, I'll go. I'll pick you up at 10 ok man?"

Matt brought his arm down in a Napolean Dynamite way, and grinned. "Sweet! Oh, and I'm bringing this girl. I don't remember her name though, but she's hot. And she's in some new movie. Oh yeah, and she said she'd have a friend for you. Anyways, later man." Matt walked off to his Mercedes and drove off, the sound of his engine blaring in Seth's ear.

Seth sighed. He totally did not want to go to this party, but it was better than sitting at home chatting on a fan site. He got into his black H2 HUMMER SUV, blasting on his radio and driving home.

"What is it?" Marlee Tiller asked, grabbing the flyer from Summer's hand.

Summer shrugged. "It's Shane West's 'party of the year.' I dunno, some guy, Matt Rosenberg invited me? Yeah, anyways he said he would have a date for you. Apparently he is some famous director, so I guess that's a plus."

Marlee shrugged. "Whatever. What does this Matt guy look like anyways? Is he hot?"

'Not like Seth,' Summer thought to herself. "Umm, well he's tall. He has sandy blonde hair and blueish green eyes, they were actually his best feature. Oh, but his body! He's got at least an 8 pack."

"And you'd know this how?"

Summer blushed. "Umm… I checked out his profile on the internet. Apparently he was on some sitcom like 3 years ago. It was called Beaches or something like that."

Marlee giggled as she flipped through her Life and Style magazine. "So what're you going to wear?

Summer got off her bed and walked over to the closet, going through her hundreds of clothes. "Hmm…." She took off a black strapless top with sequins along the hem, matching it with a long, vintage style skirt, flowing out at the end. The skirt was white and simple, but gorgeous at the same time.

Marlee looked over Summer's choice selection and shook her head. "Good skirt, bad top." She got up and going Summer at the closet, throwing a black cami and a shimmering top to go over it.

Summer just shrugged and took the clothes from Marlee, holding them up to her body as she looked in the mirror. "Ok, sure. Thanks Mar."

"Dude, it's 10:15! I told the girls that we'd be there 15 minutes ago! Where the hell are you?" Matt shouted in his cell phone, nearly deafening cell on the other end.

"Whoa, buddy, I'm on my way. There was traffic."

Matt took a deep breath; he was always nervous right before a date even though he always acted so cocky. "Alright. You better be here by 10:20 or else your ass is screwed."

Seth smiled to himself and flipped his cell shut. He let his mind wander to his mystery date for the evening. Matt didn't remember her name, or his own date's name actually. All that Matt had explained was that his date was hot and famous. As he pulled into the driveway Matt was ready and bolted out the door, sitting himself beside Seth in the front. 'Ok man let's go!" He urged.

-------------

"My guy better be hot." Marlee whispered as they walked through the lobby, on their way outside.

"He will be Mar! Don't worry! I heard that he is funny, and witty and is very cute, and rich might I add. So just be yourself and have a good time!" Summer linked her arm with her friend's as she consoled her.

The truth was that Marlee hadn't had a real date in almost 6 months, since she broke up with her boyfriend Jon. Summer had tried everything after the breakup to get Marlee back into the dating life, but nothing seemed to work. Summer hoped to God that tonight's guy would be perfect for her.

The girls walked out the door and spotted a black Cadillac in front of them. Matt opened his window and waved, motioning them to come to his car. Marlee opened the door to the backseat and Summer followed in after her. Looking to see who Marlee's mystery date was, Summer closed her eyes and opened them again, to check if she was dreaming. She wasn't.

"Cohen?"
