AN: For all those of you who are not aware, Parental Control is a show on MTV. Basically, the parents pick out two dates for their son/daughter because they hate the current bf/gf. The parents and current bf/gf sit on the couch and watch the dates on TV, so you get to hear the commentary. In the end, the person had to chose between one of the two new guys/girls or his/her current beau. Who will Marissa choose?

Parental Control: The O.C.

Part One: The Old and The Potentially New

"Kevin is a no good piece of crap. He doesn't even have a job so I don't know where the hell he gets all his crack money, nor do I want to know. His relationship with my daughter is purely physical, he doesn't love her by any stretch of the imagination. He wears the same shirt, like, three days in a row, ever heard of doing the laundry? I think if she could, Marissa would break up with him. He's just so controlling, and with no regard for her feelings. Not to mention, he lives in the numbered streets," Julie Cooper ranted to the camera. She hated the guy, she might as well make it publicly known.

"Kevin Volchok is scum. He doesn't care about Marissa in the least. He's never even taken her out on a real date. All he does is invite her to his crappy apartment so he can get in her pants. Which, might I add, I strongly disapprove of. He's got the mouth of a truck driver, every other word is a swear. He has absolutely no respect for Marissa. He constantly degrades her, and I'm sick of it. My daughter deserves better than a drugged up beach bum," Jimmy Cooper declared to the cameraman with a scowl.

"They're on drugs," Kevin explained simply, "I'm the shit, and Marissa knows it. Not my fault if they disagree."

Jimmy and Julie grimaced, Kevin had so perfectly proved their point.

Jimmy and Julie found themselves in a small room, with a yearbook-esque object in front of them. In it, was all the pictures of the potential boyfriends and their names. Now all they had to do was pick two.

"I'm really not that great at this whole interview thing. I mean, I try but usually I end up ranting about nothing in particular and the person interviewing me starts to hate me and its just not fun. So I'm trying not to talk too much this time. Although, I'm getting the sinking feeling it's not working too well."

"She could be my soul mate."

"I need a little spice in my life."

"I want to date your daughter because if she's anything like you, Mrs. Cooper, she must be pretty damn hot."

"I really really need this date. I made a bet with Chilli. Oh, and I like to surf."

"I want to date your daughter because she could be just the hot little señorita I'm looking for."

"I know what it's like to feel like no one cares and if I were dating your daughter, I would try my best to protect her from that."

"Truthfully, I came on here as a dare."

"I've got a wild side for sure. Most girls love it."

Finally, Julie had had enough. It was time to decide who would date Marissa. "Let's go down the list," Jimmy suggested. "Okay," Julie agreed. "So, Seth Cohen?" Jimmy asked, reading the first name. "Talked too much," Julie criticized. "What about Oliver Trask?" Jimmy questioned. "Total basket case," Julie shot back without hesitation. "Alright so no Oliver. How about Dylan Grey?" Jimmy inquired. "Spice? Who says that anymore?" Julie asks skeptically. Jimmy crosses Dylan's name off the list and continues, "Luke Ward?" "Definitely my choice," Julie said satisfied. "He called you hot," Jimmy pointed out. "Exactly," Julie sighed. Jimmy shook his head and continued down the list, "Johnny Harper?" "Way too whiny," Julie remarked. "D.J. Lopez?" Jimmy asked, even though he could already guess the answer. "He actually used the word señorita," Julie whispered like it were some kind of grave offense. "So D.J.'s not an option, how about Ryan Atwood?" Jimmy asked with a smile, he had actually kind of liked this guy. "Didn't he say he was from Chino? That's worse than the numbered streets," Julie replied. "Well, he's my pick," Jimmy shot back. "Will you at least go through the rest of the list before you decide," Julie asked desperately. "Keegan Wright is next," Jimmy said as he scanned the list. "I dare you to cross him off the list," Julie said as she quoted the loser thought he had a chance with her daughter. "Alex Kelly?" Jimmy questioned reading the last name. "She was a girl Jimmy. Marissa doesn't roll that way!" Julie practically screamed. "So Ryan it is then," Jimmy stated, satisfied that he'd gotten his way. "Ryan and Luke," Julie reminded with a satisfied grin of her own.

Well, hope you enjoyed. Expect more soon and please leave reviews.
