A/N: Thanks for all of your reviews, sorry I didn't post for a couple of days but it was my birthday:) Anyway, this is kind of short, butI hope you like it anyway!

A sense of utter contentment and peace with the world settled over Seth as he watched his girlfriend sleep, until eventually, after several hours, he too fell into a deep slumber.

Waking at just before 6am it suddenly occurred to Seth that his parents would be less than impressed if they discovered he's been out all night. Sighing heavily, he scribbled a note to Summer and planted a tender kiss on her forehead before slipping quietly out of her room, leaving Summer to her dreams.

Ten minutes later, Seth gingerly opened his front door and crept inside, shutting it silently behind him.

"Morning!" A voice boomed from behind Seth, causing him to jump out of his skin.

"Damn" Seth muttered, before turning to find Sandy stood in the lounge, in his dressing gown, shovelling cereal into his mouth. To his surprise however, far from looking angry, if anything Sandy looked…smug.

"Dad. Hi." Seth deadpanned, raising a hand weakly in acknowledgement.

"I take it things went well then…" Sandy commented dryly, taking in Seth's ruffled appearance and raising his eyebrow suggestively.

"What?..." Seth automatically reached up to pat down his out of control hair "No! I…we…slept. I mean, Summer…she's asleep."

"Ohhhh…I get it." Sandy said grinning "Wore her out did you Son?"

"Oh my God." Seth wrinkled his nose in disgust "I'm just gonna pretend you didn't say that." He called as he padded off upstairs, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Never fails…" Sandy chuckled into his cereal "It never fails."

Several hours later, Summer's eyelids fluttered open and she gazed around her in bewilderment; she had absolutely no idea how she'd gotten back to her own bed. Trying to shift herself into a sitting position, a searing pain shot through her head…Well that would explain the memory loss…she mused, wincing and rubbing her temples.

The last thing she remembered was leaving that disastrous party with Cohen…Cohen…ahhh that would explain it. A smile crept across Summer's face as she finally noticed the chair that was pulled up right by her bed with Princess Sparkle perched on top, and the faint Cohen-y smell that still lingered in the air. Yep, she concluded, he'd definitely been there.

Reaching to grab a glass of water off the table beside her, Summer's smile widened further as she found the note that Seth had left for her;

Hey Sleeping Beauty!

Sorry I had to dash off before getting to give you a proper good morning kiss, I figured you'd probably need your sleep and I didn't want the parentals to get too mad! Hope your head doesn't hurt too much this morning Sweetie, I'll come over and see you later.

All my love

Seth xxx

P.S Did you know you snore like a train? Xx

"I do not!" Summer protested loudly to the empty room before collapsing into giggles; surely only Seth could make her laugh when she was nursing a monster hangover.

She gave the letter a quick kiss before pulling a small box out from under her bed and slipping it inside. The box was her secret, goofy, romantic thing that she hoped Seth would never find out about. It was full of mementoes of their time together; letters, movie tickets, special photos…anything that meant something to her.

Leafing through its contents brought back a variety of memories and emotions, but most of all it proved to Summer just how far they'd come as a couple.

Right at the bottom was a copy of Ryan Adams' 'Wonderwall', a song that made Summer literally melt every time she heard it; even now she could picture the scene exactly, Seth with his adorable Jew-fro asking her to dance and wrapping his arms around her like she was the only thing in the world that mattered; it was the first time she knew that her feelings for Seth would eventually blossom into love.

Searching further, she found her ticket to Harbor's Harvest Dance, the occasion when they'd finally reunited after months of heartache and she was convinced that their troubles were well and truly behind them. At this she smiled wryly to herself…maybe they hadn't been quite there yet.

But dropping Seth's most recent note into the box and gently closing the lid, she felt as though that signified a new phase; another new birth to their relationship, a third chance to get it right and hopefully…third time lucky.
