October 29th

Seth was having a hard time. His album was to be released by Christmas and he was performing at Atwood's, Ryan's restaurant at the end of November.

Ryan was having the time of his life. He dropped his studies and decided to open a restaurant near Sandy and Kirsten's.

Jenn and Allie were on an overnight field trip with the school in New York and wouldn't return until November 4th. Jenn and Allie are so close and go trampolining together. As well they are on the swim team at school.

Marissa is still an interior designer and helps out Ryan at the restaurant from time to time. She designed the restaurant and is expecting a raise by Christmas.

Everyone seemed to be happy at the time. Marissa and Ryan were still contemplating what would happen when Summer came in a couple of days. Neither Seth or Allie knew about it. Jenn knew but she was to keep her mouth shut. Jenn hated lying to her best friend but did what she had to do.

Sandy and Kirsten were getting themselves prepared for the drama that was about to take place for Marissa had just told them that Summer would be getting into Newport Beach by 7:30 the next evening.

"I still think it's too late."

"Sandy, she's important to Seth."

"Does he know that she's coming?"

"No but…Marissa?"

"I'm gonna tell Seth myself."

"Tell me what?"

Seth had just entered the room. He sensed nervousness and tension around him. He actually became scared but wondered why.

"Okay Seth just promise me you won't have a rage blackout because Allie has enough of those okay?"

"Marissa just tell me."

"You know what? We'll leave. Sandy?"

"What? Why? Why are you leaving?"

Sandy and Kirsten stopped in their tracks and turned towards Seth. Marissa made her way towards Seth and sat down. She motioned Seth to sit down also.

"Okay…about 4 months after Allie's 4th birthday I got a call from someone I thought I'd never see ever again…I hope you don't hate me…it was Summer."

"WHAT?"

"Seth listen to Marissa."

"…she called and believe me I was pissed yet I was a little relieved. She wanted to come back right away but I told her not to. I said it was too late. Every time she called me I had to cover it up. That is until Ryan answered one of her calls and for some awkward reason everyone ended up answering the phone on her except for Allie and you."

"So all of your 'business trips?'"

"Visiting her…in New York."

"So why do you tell me this now?"

"She's coming home Seth…tomorrow."

Shocked Seth bursted out of the room. He made his way to his old bedroom and dropped on his old bed deep in thought.

"NOW? WHY NOW? IT'S BEEN 15 FRIGGIN YEARS. I just can't believe it. Tomorrow? I've been waiting for this for fifteen years. Why do I feel so pissed? Maybe because my best friends and my parents all know about it? I dunno…I feel like such an idiot. How did I not see this coming? Oh God what's Allie gonna say? What'll she do when she sees her mother staring back at her in person and not in a photo? I just hope that she's calmer than I was…who am I kidding? She has bigger rage blackouts than Summer ever did."

Seth's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door by his father.

"Seth? Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine eventually."

"I know what you're thinking and I agree with you."

"You know what I'm thinking?"

"Yeah it's been way too long and imagine the size of the rage blackout that Allie is gonna have."

"It'll probably be the biggest one yet."

"Look son…I know that 15 years is a long time…"

"Dad? It's a decade and a half okay?"

"I know long time but…maybe you should give her a chance to explain herself…after all you're still in love with her."

"I know…okay."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

In New York

Allie and Jenn had just gotten into their hotel rooms with their friends Emma and Daniela. The first day there was basically do whatever the hell you want but don't leave the hotel room. The girls were having a ball.

"Hey guys I'm going to take a shower okay?"

"Yeah sure Jenn. Damn is it hot in here."

"I'll go get some ice Allie."

"Why can't we just turn on the AC?"

"Because Emma we don't know how to work it."

Daniela left the room. Allie and Emma started to empty out all the bags of candy on the bed. Daniela came back and placed the bucket of ice on the table in the corner of the room. Allie went over to it grabbed a piece of ice and shoved down the back side of her shirt. Emma grabbed 5 pieces and shoved it down her shirt…

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."

"HOLY SHIT…WHO THE BLOODY FUCK SCREAMED?"

"SORRY JENN…THAT WAS EMMA…ARE YOU OKAY?"

"EMMA I'M GONNA KILL YOU."

Daniela just sat on the bed laughing her head off. Allie looked at her and started to laugh.

"It's not funny you guys I think I got a frost bite."

"(Still laughing Allie said) I'm sorry Emz it's just that only you would shove like a million pieces of ice down your top…(she walks over to the bathroom door)…JENN? YOU DONE IN THERE?"

"YEAH JUST CLEANING UP."

"WHAT? Cleaning? WHY?"

"WELL…(she opens the door)."

"Jeez man what did you do in here? Did the toilet overflow?"

"Well when I heard Emma scream? I uh…lost control of the…shrhd."

"(in a VERY Summer way) The what?"

"The shower head."

They all looked at each other and sniggered.

"Okay, okay it's not like any of you have never lost control of the shower head in the shower."

They all looked at each other and laughed.

"I'm sorry Jenn."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The next day everyone in Marissa's house were running around. Ryan had to prepare the guest room. Seth took care of Jeff and Nicky while Sandy took care of Matt. Marissa was cooking and Kirsten was helping Marissa. Allie, being the wonderful grandchild, took a course in how to cook and taught her grandmother how to except no one knew except Allie, Jenn and Marissa.

"Okay Riss…bedrooms ready and Seth and Sandy took the kids to the movies so we could get some stuff done around here."

"Good. Honey? Could you vacuum the main floor?"

"Sure thing…Kirsten? You're uh…cooking?"

"Allie taught me…I've been doing it for the past 3 months. :D"

"Wow…"

"Ryan?"

"Right vacuum got it."

AT THE CINEMA

"Okay guys what do you wanna see?"

"Uh…Grandpa?"

"Yes Nicky?"

"Me and Jeff wanna watch (Make up a movie suitable for two 8 year olds)."

"Sure…is that okay Matt?"

"Allie was gonna take me to watch dat…but it's otay me and Allie will go see sumfin else."

"Okay Seth get the tickets and we'll go get the snacks."

"Right Dad just make sure not too much because Marissa is apparently cooking A LOT of food."

The little boys were so into the movie but Sandy couldn't help but look at the nervousness on Seth's face.

"Seth are you okay?"

"Yeah Dad…just nervous."

Seth wondered how the night would go. When he saw her…would he be happy? Relieved? Angry? Heartbroken even more than he was when she left? Thrilled? More emotions came into his head. He then visited a past memory of him and Summer. It was the night that changed his life forever.

Seth was in his room drawing pictures of Little Miss Vixen. You can tell that he had been crying for his eyes were red and cheeks were damp. All of a sudden his door bursted open and he had the real Little Miss Vixen in front of him crying and she also had damp cheeks.

"Summer? What's wrong? Are you okay?"

She sobbed even more as she sat down beside him and buried her head into his chest. His shirt became damp.

"Summer?"

Summer looked up at him.

"I made a mistake Cohen. I made the biggest mistake ever."

She sobbed even more.

"Tell me about this mistake."

"I chose Zach over you. Then he cheats on me…went over to his house and he was naked in bed with a girl. I mean we haven't even done anything yet."

"I'm sorry Sum…I'm here for you."

"You always are."

Summer looked up at Seth and locked eyes with him. Their noses grazed and without hesitation from either of them their lips locked never wanting to come undone.

Seth was jumped out of his flashback when the lights in the theatre flicked on signaling that the movie was over.

"Uncle Seth? The movie is over, you have to get up."

"Right Jeff…how did you like the movie?"

"IT WAS AWESOME."

BACK AT RYAN AND MARISSA'S

"Okay everything seems to be going good. Where are the boys?"

"What am I?"

"I'm talking about the ones that are out Ryan."

"I know…will you relax? It's gonna be fine."

At that moment the door opened and voice yelled…

"WE'RE HOME…MOMMY DADDY WHERE ARE YOU?"

"IN THE KITCHEN."

Jeff ran into the kitchen and jumped into his mothers arms.

"The movie was AWESOME."

"Really? Where's Nicky?"

"Nicky is coming…"

"Okay boys time to get dressed."

"Okay."

Three boys ran up the stairs and Marissa turned to Seth and Sandy.

"Thanks you two."

"No problem…okay I'll be back soon."

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To go get ready…Summer's coming tonight and I smell like popcorn."

"Okay be back in an hour got it?"

"Sure thing."

Seth made his way out of his brother's house and onto the street. He made his way across the street to his house and rushed upstairs to shower. When he came out of the shower he ran to his closet and rummaged through it for a pair of pants and a shirt. He found a good pair of jeans and wore a blue buttoned shirt with the buttons undone with a white tee underneath. The shirt was long sleeved. When he finished he put on some cologne.

He made his way out of the house and walked casually across the street giving himself the pep talk that prepared him for the night. He made his way back into Marissa's house and found them all in the Kitchen except for Summer.

"What you guys doing?"

"Deciding who's gonna go to the airport with Ryan."

"Uh…I'll go."

"Okay well then it's settled."

Ryan and Seth made their way outside into the car and were on their way to the Airport.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When Ryan and Seth arrived at the airport, Seth knew that what he had been dreaming for the last 15 years was coming true and Ryan was getting annoyed with Seth's pacing.

"Seth relax man it's Summer."

"Exactly my point."

"Look Seth if you were this nervous why did you come?"

"Cuz I wanted to…I love her."

In the Airport Summer was freaking out. The luggage was starting to come out on the belt. She found hers and went through the gates. She looked for Ryan but was surprised to see someone else with him. She couldn't believe it and began to tear. When Seth saw her his jaw dropped and saw the tear in her eye. Without notice he ran to her and gave her the biggest most sweetest hug ever. Neither of them wanted to let go. Summer's tears turned to sobs and Seth kissed her hair. They parted and Ryan was beside them and gave Summer a hug.

"Let's get out of this joint it's packed."

"Okay."

Seth, Summer, and Ryan got out of the airport. The ride back to the house was a quiet one. No one wanted to say anything fearing that it would get weird. Summer wondered about who was at he house? Was Allie there? If she was how would she react to her return? Amist all of her thoughts Seth finally spoke just to break the silence. He knew no one couldn't bare the awkward silence.

"So where have you been this whole time?"

"New York."

Those were the only words spoken the whole way to Ryan and Marissa's home.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

In New York, Allie and Jenn lay awake next to each other in their hotel room. The nights events were fun and the two just laid there.

"Hey Jenn? I know this is like completely weird seeing as how this subject we never talked about it since I was 11 but do you ever wonder if my mom will come back?"

"I wouldn't count on it."

Jenn knew she had to be stealth about her answers for Jenn knew perfectly well what was happening in Newport Beach in her house about now.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They arrived at Ryan and Marissa's and as Summer exited the vehicle she looked up at the house of Ryan and Marissa. She started to feel the butterflies turning in her stomach. She started to question herself again. Who was in the house? Did they know that she was coming? Summer knew one thing was for sure, is that anything that would happen in the following 3 months, she would deserve. Ryan carried Summer's 100 suitcases up to the house while Seth made his way to the door. Summer followed closely behind him. Seth turned the door knob and let Summer in. As Summer went in a little boy with dirty blonde hair ran past his uncle.

"Hey HEY…WHOA…Ryan look alike…MATTY!"

Summer watched as Seth chased after Matt. He threw the kid over his shoulders and walked towards Summer with the kid in his arms. Summer watched as Seth portrayed his parenting skills without meaning to.

"Matty say hello to your Aunt Summer."

"Hi…wow…you are pretty. Uncle Seth said so and he also said…"

Matt was cut off.

"OKAY…where's your moth…."

"SUM."

Marissa appeared and so did the twins. As Marissa and Summer hugged Ryan brought the final of Summer's stuff into the house. Leaving the bags at the entrance way, all who were at the doorway made their way into the kitchen where Kirsten was. As soon as Kirsten saw Summer she smiled and gave her a hug. Marissa gave her a tour of the house. When they stumbled upon the family room Sandy was playing Play Station with Jeff, Nicky, Seth, and Ryan. Sandy noticed Summer and told Ryan to take his place. Sandy greeted Summer with a hug. The night and dinner seemed to run smoothly. Marissa spoke out.

"Okay here we go food time."

"Marissa? Did you cook that or did my mom?"

"SETH EZEKIAL…"

"Uh oh son…she's middle-naming you."

"For your information, I did cook this meal."

"Okay now I'm scared to even smell it. Where's Allie when you need her?"

That was the first reference anyone made about Allie all night.

"If no one minds me asking…uh…where are Allie and Jenn?"

For the first time since he introduced Matty to her, Seth spoke.

"Allie and Jenn are in New York with the school. They've been planning it since last year. They won't be home 'til the 4th of November."

The rest of the night, Seth and Sumer did not exchange a word with each other.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

In New York, it was now daytime. Jenn, Allie, Daniela, and Emma were walking the streets of New York, meeting up with the school group by 12:30 for lunch. Emma and Daniela made it over to a Newspaper stand a bought a magazine. Then all four of them made their way to Bloomingdales for an hour of shopping. They got back to the hotel room at 4:00 and collapsed on the beds.

"So what do you guys wanna do?"

"I dunno. Emz?"

"I think I'm gonna look through my magazine."

"Okay well, I'm gonna go downstairs and call my house uh…Jenn, Emma? Keep Daniela away from the ice?"

"Sure thing."

"Yeah no problem."

Allie made her way down to the lobby and took her place by the pay phone. Anyone who had a cell phone would be sent home immediately. Allie placed her calling card into the card slot and dialed her home number…no answer. She called her Aunt's house…Matt picked up the phone. Summer and Marissa were with him at the time.

"Hello?"

"MATTY."

"ALLIE."

Summer stopped. Allie was on the phone?

"When you comin' home?"

Allie sensed the little bit of sadness in his voice.

"Soon…is my dad there?"

"Yeah hold on…UNCLE SETH?"

Seth came jogging into the room and grabbed the phone from Matt.

"Thanks kid…hello?"

"Hey dad."

"ALLIE! How you doing?"

"Good…tired, but good. Just calling to check in. How is everyone?"

"Great…everyone can't wait to see you and Jenn."

"Cool…okay dad I have to go but hey…see you in a couple of days okay?"

"Okay kiddo…love you."

"Love you too dad."

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

It was November 3rd (dunno when her birthday really is) and that night Julie Cooper threw a Newport Social scene party for Kaitlin for her birthday. It was held at Kirsten and Sandy's place. Summer set foot into the familiar house and smelled the familiar scent. All of the memories of when her and Seth grew up here came to her mind.

The party had begun. Everyone greeted Summer with a "Welcome back" and when she had had enough she made her way to the pool house and sat on the bed. Thoughts raced through her mind. She was caught up in flashbacks and one in particular crawled into her mind.

Flashback

Harbor school - Summer is at the kissing booth in the student lounge. Seth pushes to the front of the line

Seth: (to guy) ah here you go here's a full refund (hands him money) thanks a lot thanks for comin, shows over you guys thanks so much though it was great havin you

Summer: no its ok thanks

Seth: yeah thanks

Summer: Cohen you're making a scene

Seth: I need'a talk to you right now

Summer: (trying to get rid of him) I'll IM you later

Seth: ok

(Seth tries to get on top of the booth, he struggles to get his leg up. Anna looks over and sees. Seth uses a near by chair and walks up on top of the booth)

Seth: let's talk up here (motions for her to come up)

Summer: (puts her hands on her head) oh my god, no

Seth: Summer I know you're scared

Summer: (looks up) yeah of you

Seth: cause Summer I like you, this much an if you don't feel the same way about me then...someone's gonna have'ta give me a hand down because its really high up here an I could fall an that would be embarrassing, more embarrassing

(Summer looks up at him, he puts his hand out to her she hesitates then smiles and gets up with him. the guys standing around all frown, the girls are all looking at them lovey dovey and 'awww' like)

Summer: (holding his hand) I can't believe this

Seth: (smiles) its all over but the big public make out session

(Summer kisses him, Anna watches smiling, then she looks kind of sad. the guys all walk away but the girls are watching still with lovey dovey looks)

Summer: that'll be ten bucks Cohen

Seth: that's for a worthy cause (they kiss again)

End Flashback

He was so in love with her. It took her a while to even notice him. Now, seeing him again brought back old feelings. The door to the pool house opened. It was Seth.

"Hey Summer. People are looking for you."

"I'm kinda in hiding."

"Oh."

Seth took a seat beside her on the bed.

"So…you ready to tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

"Tell me what? The reason why you left."

"I knew this would happen."

"Uh huh. So?"

"I was scared."

"Of?"

"Myself…Allie. You."

"How do you figure?"

"I was afraid that it would just be me and Allie…that you would leave again."

"I couldn't do that…not twice. I lost you once that way…I never intended on doing it again."

Okay so awkward moment. Summer broke it.

"So…Ryan and Marissa…4 kids?"

"Yuup. I'm Godfather to Jenn and Matt."

"I can't believe this…I mean if someone told me when I was 15 that I'd be 32, have a 15 year old daughter and ran away from Newport and fell in love with you…I'd probably had just said 'ew'."

"I know."

"So can you tell me about Allie?"

"…she has your smile."

Summer smiled…they locked gazes. Seth leaned in and for the first time in 15 years, Seth and Summer locked lips with everything that was missed.
