As the four walked into the room, they saw the 5 people that were going to make their lives that little bit weirder. They all exchanged looks as Dean Kim sat back down at her desk.

"This is Ryan, Marissa, Summer, and Seth." She said as she looked at the 9 teens in her office, "Well, seeing as you four are here to show these 5 around, why don't you get to it then you guys can go back to your hotel and relax?"

They all nodded and walked out of the office.

"Hey I'm Summer." Summer said first as she looked at them, "So, how is Canada?" She asked.

"Cold," Cody replied.

"I hate the cold, your fingers get all yucky then they go red because they are so cold…" She stopped when she realized that no one was really listening to her.

"This school is so big!" Cameron said as he looked down the hall.

"Not really. Well, maybe. It's not that big once you know where you are," Marissa said.

"I'm Seth Cohen," Seth said making everyone look at him.

"Just ignore him, he'll do this every once and a while," Ryan said, standing in front of him.

"Aren't we going to get a tour?" Adena asked as she looked at a bulletin board.

"Yeah, first, the library," Marissa said.

"Don't mind Coop, she's a little TOO organized." Summer smiled.

"Do we get the weekends off?" Tanis asked.

"Yeah, why?" Said Ryan.

"Sweet!" Said Squib, " It's just… we never get weekends off at Cascadia!"

"Wow, I would die!" Summer said, looking at him.

"So what is Cascadia like, anyway?" Seth asked, trying to sound normal.

"It's a tennis boarding school, what do you think?" Cameron said.

"I think it's insane, I mean, you don't even get weekends off." Summer said again.

"And it's even worse when you don't even play tennis," Cody added.

"Oh yeah, why don't you play tennis?" Marissa asked her.

"Well my dad is the shrink of the school. And I had to come on this outing because if I didn't, I got to have some quality time with my dad and the president of the school." Cody said not very enthusiastically.

"Right… well, here is the library." Marissa said as she walked into the huge library. It had a high ceiling and bookshelves that could go on for miles. The walls were white and there were couches in the middle of the room.

"This place is huge!" Tannis said, flopping on one of the couches.

"Not really… the office is bigger." Ryan said.

"Oh Lord…" Adena said.

As the 9 teens finished up the tour they went outside and standing there was a man with brown, almost black hair. He was wearing a suit and a tie, and his eyebrows were a little… out of control.

"Hey, Dad," Seth said as he walked up to the man.

"Hi, Mr. Cohen." Marissa said.

"Hey, Sandy." Ryan added.

"Hey kids, your principal called telling me that you were showing kids from Canada around, and I thought I would come down and introduce myself, " Sandy said, looking at the Top Guns, "hi I'm Sandy Cohen, Seth's dad."

"Nice to meet you," they all said.

"Well, if you kids need anything, just say so." Sandy smiled and walked over to his BMW and drove away.

"That would be my lovely father, Sandy Cohen, with his amazing eyebrows!" Seth said as he drove away.

"He really needs to go to the spa!" Adena said.

"He really does," Summer agreed.

"So, what do we do now?" Tanis asked.

"Anything, we could go watch a movie." Marissa suggested.

"Go to the beach." Summer said.

"OR, we could play… video games!" Seth suggested.

"Cohen we always play video games." Summer said.

"At least you CAN play video games; we aren't allowed to have video games at Cascadia." Adena said, looking at them.

"Really? I'm so sorry," Seth put his hand of Adena's shoulder.

"I vote the beach," Cody said.

"Why?" Squib asked.

"So that I can take some pictures," Cody smiled.

"I like that idea, beach it is!"

"How are we all going to fit in the Rover?" Ryan asked looking at the 5 passenger SUV in the parking lot.

"We could take two cars." Summer said.

"But there aren't two cars here!" Cameron said.

"Right…" she answered

"Let's walk." Squib said.

"Walk? Are you serious?" Adena said

"What? We need to have 1 hour of practice a day and we could just say that we exercised by walking to the beach!" Squib said.

"Wow, wow, wait. You guys have to do one hour of tennis practice a day?" Marissa asked them.

"Yea, not that big of a deal, we have to do two every day at home…" Tanis said.

"Oh god, I could never do that!" Summer said.

"That's because every time you work out at the gym you get distracted by magazines!" Seth said, smiling.

"Beach, people… remember?" Cody reminded them.

"Yeah, let's go, we are walking, okay Summer!" Ryan said looking at her.

"Oh God, if I die on the way, I'm so coming back to kick all of your asses!" Summer said as she started walking.

"Oh yes, I love the O.C!" Adena said. The nine of them walked on the sidewalk for about 30 min until they got to the beach. The whole time Summer talked about how The Valley was the best show and how everyone should watch it. Once they all got settled down, the guys went off to do something that would leave the girls alone to talk.

"So, what is Canada like?" Marissa asked.

"Cold," Cody said.

"Far away," Adena said.

"A lot different from this," Tanis said.

"I can't stand the cold. It's too… cold!" Summer said as she lay on the blanket.

"You have no idea how lucky you guys are to live in a place like this!" Adena said, looking up at the sky.

"It's okay, I guess." Marissa answered her.

"Well at least you all have something in common; I'm an art freak in a tennis school." Cody said, taking a picture of some people on the beach.

"Not really, the only ting that everyone has is common is that we are all… rich." Summer said putting on her Channel sunglasses.

"Right, so where are you guys staying?" Marissa asked.

"The Hilton Hotel," Tanis answered.

"That's an awesome hotel, we sometimes have parties there." Summer said, sitting up.

"It's okay, I guess, better than Cascadia." Adena smiled.

"I wonder where the guys are?" Marissa asked, looking out into the distance.

The guys weren't very far at all. They were all hanging out at the life house off shore.

"So how do you like the wonderful, glorious, amazing Orange County?" Seth asked.

"It's okay, better than Canada." Squib smiled.

"Way better, we don't have a beach like this." Cameron said.

"AH, but we do have a beach."

"There are beaches in Canada?" Seth asked. Ryan hit his in the arm.

"Well you haven't seen anything, school is a lot more-" Ryan was cut off.

"Interesting." Said Seth.

"Interesting… meaning?" Cameron asked.

Seth smiled, "You'll see."

"Well at least we don't have our coaches here, they are so up tight." Squib said, looking out into the ocean.

"Yeah, but we have all the preppy girls who ridicule you if you don't look the part of a rich spoiled kid!" Ryan said, looking at them.

"Ryan, buddy, we are supposed to make them excited for school, not scared!" Seth said.

"I'm only doing what you did to me." Ryan said.

"Is he always like this?" Cameron asked.

"Yeah, I've tried to change it, or at least find an off button, but I failed!" Ryan laughed.

"He reminds me of someone." Squib said.

"Did you hear that Ryan? I remind them of someone!" Seth said happily.

"Rick!" Cameron and Squib said together.

"Who is Rick?" Summer asked back where the girls where. Adena and Tanis had just finished explaining how lucky they were that Rick didn't come with them.

"Just this really annoying guy who is totally in LOVE with Cody!" Adena laughed.

"Hey! Rick is not in love with me!" Cody said, in denial, "He just-"

"Is in love with you." Tanis finished.

"Wow, if he's like Cohen then I pity you!" Marissa said.

"Yeah, me too." Summer added.

"Summer, you're his girlfriend, aren't you supposed to stand up for him?" Marissa asked.

"Wow, you and Seth are going out?" Cody asked.

"Yea, it's hard to believe in a way, but his weird, geeky, comic book status is so over rated!" Summer said, "Well Marissa is with Ryan!"

"But at least Ryan isn't comic book obsessed!" Marissa said.

"Yeah, but he is the guy from Chino!" Summer replied.

"Where is Chino?" Adena asked.

"About an hour away from here. It's a small town, rough, small, not very…" Marissa stopped, "not as lucky as us."

"I see…" Adena said.

"So, do the students of Cascadia have any romance? Or is it all about the tennis?" Summer asked.

"There was Cody and Squib, but then they broke up, like, 2 months ago, and then… that whole Cameron and Tanis thing." Adena said.

"Wait? What whole Tanis and Cameron thing?" Tanis said, looking at her.

"Never mind…" Adena said, rolling her eyes.

"Coop, these two months are going to be fun, these people are pretty cool." Summer said, leaning back.

"Yeah, Sum, I hope so." Marissa answered.
