The next couple of day the whole school was getting ready for the exchange/visit. They would be leaving on Friday and coming back two months later. Today was Thursday and everyone but Adena were dreading that they had to go. As the Top Guns finished their last practice for a while they all headed for their dorms to pack up all their last minute stuff. After everyone was packed the school headed for the open where there was going to be an announcement about the few weeks.

"Maybe he's calling it off." Tannis said as the Top Guns took their seats on the couches in the Open.

"Or maybe he's saying that only the other groups have to go." Cameron added.

"Will you guys chill out? This is going to be fun." Adena said.

"Fun? Fun. Yes, I'm an artist in a tennis school and we are going to the tanning salon of the world, and I only burn! Oh yes, much fun." Cody said.

"At least we get a break from tennis." Said Squib as he put his feet up on the coffee table.

"One thing… we still have to work on our game while we're gone. Remember?" said Cameron. As president Baites walked into The Open the Top Guns stopped talking and looked at him.

"Hello Group A." He said as he looked at the 5 of them, "I believe your group is going to… Orange County right?" He asked. The group all nodded but all looking at the ground. "Ah yes, the O.C. I'm here to tell you what school you will be attending and what your day schedule will look like." He paused and took a piece of paper from a small table off to the side, "You will be attending Harbor Private school. You will be staying at the Hilton Hotel, which is about 30 blocks away from school. You are to work on your game at least once a day for one hour, do you understand me? As for Ms. Myers, you may… take pictures during this time." He stopped and looked at the bunch of them.

"Sir do we have to go?" Tannis asked after a long silence.

"Yes Ms. McTaggart, you must go. It was actually your father who brought up the whole idea of going to different city's to become more socialized!" Baited smiled.

"Wait… MY dad… great!" Tannis leaned back in the couch.

"Do I have to go, I mean, I don't even play tennis." Cody said.

"Ms. Myers, you may not play tennis but you are still a student of Cascadia Tennis Academy and all students must do this. Plus if you didn't go, I guess you could spend some quality time with your father and I, seeing as the rest of the school will be on the trip."

Cody hated even thinking about quality time for a whole two months with Baites and her Dad, "Fine, fine."

"As for the rest of you, don't try and get out of this because all of your parents supported this idea. Now get some sleep, tomorrow is going to be a long day." With that, President Baites walked away down the hall.

"Okay, since we have to go and there isn't any way of getting out of it, I guess I'm going to bed." Cody said getting up and walking down the hall towards her house.

"Cody's right, we should get some sleep. Our flight is at 6 AM tomorrow. Night guys." Tannis said walking off to her dorm. The rest of the Top Guns went to bed too. Even though no one wanted to go, it was still exciting going somewhere new for once, and not having to hang around here.

The next morning the Top Guns all got up bright and early to catch their flight. When they got to the airport they lined up to check their luggage and then went through security. Then it was time to wait. They had about an hour till their plane left, so they all sat around in the waiting area and, you guessed it, play cards.

"We really need to find a new hobby." Cameron said, "Got any two's Cody?"

"Nope, go fish, and we do." Cameron picket up a card from the pile.

"Well at least we'll be watching a movie when we get on the plane. I wonder what movie it is." Tannis said looking at her cards.

"Yea, but it's probably something stupid like Cinderella Story or Legally Blonde or something cheesy like that." Squib said as he leaned back in his seat.

"Hey, I like Legally Blonde, it's a great movie." Adena said looking at the gang who were shaking their heads and laughing.

"Adena, that movie was so bad." Cameron told her.

"It wasn't THAT bad, I saw it. It was pretty funny actually." Cody admitted.

"You're joking right? Like, really joking?" Tannis said smiling but unsure.

"No, it was a good movie." Cody said seriously.

"SEE!" Adena said to Squib, Cameron and Tannis.

The Top Guns sat around playing cards until their plane started boarding. When they all sat down and got their seat belts done up there was an announcement on the plane about what movie they were showing. They were showing Legally Blonde 2 Red, White, and Blonde. As the plane took of, Adena and Cody got all excited about the movie while Cameron, Tannis and Squib talked about how this was going to suck.

It was a normal day at Harbor school. Student wore the usual mini skirt with t-shirt or jeans and a polo. Marissa Cooper had just finished English class when she walked out into the hallways and to her locker. As she opened her locker, her friend Summer Roberts came up to her.

"Hey Coop, What are you doing after school?" Summer rested her back against the locker.

"Nothing." Marissa put her books in her locker.

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to hit the mall. I mean, there is this amazing Chanel sale going on and we can't miss it."

"Sure, sounds awesome." Marissa agreed as she put her new books into her bag. As the two walked down the hallway the announcements went on.

"May I have your attention. Will Marissa Cooper, Ryan Atwood, Summer Roberts and Seth Cohen all please report to the office. Thank you."

"This can't be good. I mean, I can understand you and Ryan being sent there, but me? What did I do?" Summer asked.

"Come on Sum, let's go." Marissa took her arm and led her to the office.

Once the two reached the office they were greeted by Principal and then saw that Ryan and Seth were already there sitting in the chairs.

"Please sit down." Said Dean Kim

"Are we in trouble?" Marissa asked.

"Oh no, I have a job for you four." She said as she sat down at her desk.

"Okay, that can't be good." Seth said as he looked at the floor.

"We have 5 students coming from a school called Cascadia Tennis Academy tomorrow. They are in your grade and don't know a lot of people. They are coming because their parents feel that being in a boarding school doesn't make them social enough. So Harbor has opened up its doors to let them spend two months with us." She paused and looked at them

"So you need us for… and where is this Cascade place anyway? Canada?" Summer asked.

"Yes Ms. Roberts, Cascadia Tennis Academy is found in Montreal Canada."

"Ew…" Summer said.

"Anyway, I found that you four tend to be the most social, the most as you say 'popular' in the school. I need you four to hang out with them. Make them feel welcome. Invite them to your parties. I don't know, something so that they get more social." Dean Kim stood up and walked around her desk and leaned on it.

"So, you want us to baby-sit some kids?" Ryan asked.

"No, these people are in the same grade as you and are at the same academic level as you. All I ask is that you make them feel comfortable here."

"So, it's like… we are like their hero's saving them from the evil Harbor monster of doom and making them feel safe is our fortress of love?" Seth said with excitement. Summer hit him in the arm.

"Cohen, Shut UP with the comics!" Summer told him.

"Right… So will you guys help me out and do this for me?"

"Um, sure, I mean, I'll do it. I don't know about the other people." Marissa said looking as if she didn't care.

"Yea I'll do it sounds like fun." Ryan agreed.

"I get to be my own super hero… a young Jewish boy! I'll do it!" Seth said happily.

"Sure, sure I'll do it." Summer said finally.

"Thanks for your cooperation and I'll tell you when they arrive."

"Curiosity… what are their names?" Summer asked as she got up from her seat.

"Um, I have them here… one second." She looked through some papers until she pulled one out, "here they are, Gary Furlong, but he likes to be called 'Squib', Adena Stiles, Tannis McTaggart, Cameron White, and Cody Myers. They are all Tennis players except Cody, she is a photographer."

"Then why is she at a tennis school?" Ryan asked

"You'll have to ask her yourself. I'm not quite sure."

As the four walked out of the office they all talked about this.

"Okay. Since when do we care about kids from Canada? Canada is like the U.S… but colder." Summer said.

"Because, I guess these guys don't get to meet a lot of new people." Marissa told her.

"Why was that guy's name Squib?" Ryan asked.

"Squib? Ew, Who names their kid Squib?" Summer said

"Well this will be fun. Lot's of fun, I get to be a young Jewish boy!" He smiled. Summer hit him in the stomach.

"COHEN!"
