A/N: Hope you like it
"Seth I can't sleep…"
Seth groaned into his pillow as Summer fidgeted with her covers, turning the light on.
"Uh…sleeping here." He mumbled tiredly but instead of leaving him to sleep she hit him with her pillow.
"I'm serious Cohen…its Ryan and Marissa…"
Seth had to admit, he was concerned about them as well. It had been a week since their reunion special and they carried on like nothing had happened. Marissa had even been on wedding overdrive and Ryan was constantly working.
"Yeah I know…" He yawned sitting up next to Summer, realising he wasn't going to sleep tonight, "how's wedding planning going?"
"It's a nightmare. Marissa's turned into Bridezilla; she's even moved the wedding to this Friday…"
"You know why that is, don't you?"
"Ryan…she wants to forget him…" Summer smiled sadly, "his name isn't included in the guest list…"
"I don't think Ryan will mind, he got this promotion at work and now he's workaholic man." Seth sighed, remembering Ryan's request to meet up for lunch tomorrow.
"Ok, that is it. We have to get Bridezilla and Workaholic man back together." Summer folded her arms across her chest determinedly.
Seth didn't want to burst her woman on a mission bubble but, "Aren't you forgetting one teensy, tiny little problem? Jake Green. The fiancé."
Summer sighed, "I know, and I like Jake he's been so good to Marissa but you can see absolutely no chemistry there."
Seth had to agree. With Jake and Marissa, it wasn't the kind of chemistry Ryan and Marissa used to create. Also Seth had been rooting for Ryan and Marissa all along.
"Is this another one of our plans? Coz I have to admit, the last one didn't work out so well…"
Summer glared and started to pace their bedroom, pondering about what they could do.
"It needs to be right before the wedding so Marissa can't change her mind. We need to get them to talk somehow without--"
"Violence?" Seth chuckled to himself, and then it hit him. "Eureka Summer!" He jumped up to his feet, balancing on the bed.
"Aw sweetie did you just say eureka?" Summer giggled.
"That doesn't matter because I am a genius. Seth Cohen- the plan master"
"I'm all ears."
That night Seth and Summer tried to devise a fool-proof plan to get their two best friends back together.
----
Seth yawned again as he sat in the diner, looking at his watch again. He was so tired after last night's planning he was beat. Yet Ryan asked to meet him so here he was. Speak of the devil, Ryan turned up and joined him at the booth. He didn't look so good; he looked even more tired than Seth did.
"Hey man."
"Hey…" Seth tried to stifle a yawn.
"You look dead…" Ryan chuckled and looked over a menu, "are the chilli fries still good here?"
"Uh…Ry…not that I hate seeing you but why'd you ask to meet?" Seth inquired as Ryan's expression turned more serious.
"Well you know I was promoted?"
"Yeah"
"Well I was then offered a one year job in Boston, at a huge Architectural firm!" Ryan smiled, expecting some sort of congratulatory gesture. Instead Seth looked dumbstruck.
"Uh…when would you leave?"
"At the end of the week…"
This was bad.
----
"This is so bad Cohen! He can't go, we have a plan!"
Summer angrily vented pacing hers and Seth's kitchen.
"Well we can't go 'No Ryan you can't go to Boston for a dream job because we have an awesome plan to get you and Marissa back together on her wedding day." Seth sarcastically retorted in one breath. Summer didn't appreciate the joke.
"We'll just have to do it the night before."
"What?! Are freakin' insane woman? Lock those two up in a pool house all night long? At least in the other plan it was only a morning." Seth anxiously scratched his head, checking over the kitchen in case any knives were in Summer's grasp.
"This can work, I know it will…"
----
That Wednesday night it was Marissa's bachelorette party, organised by Summer at the Cohen house. It had been pretty low key all night, that was until a couple of strippers came over. Summer, however, wasn't too interested in themed firemen, she needed to talk to someone, someone who was in Marissa's recount of the story and Summer had thought a lot about.
"Julie, can I talk to you for a second?" Summer pulled Julie into the kitchen.
"Anything the matter Summer?" Julie asked completely confused.
"You are aware Marissa and Ryan met again last week."
"Ah yes. Poor Marissa…and that cheating boy. Lucky she didn't marry him right?"
"Well it seems Ryan, on that fateful night, was forced by a Chloe Jackson." Summer smirked seeing Julie tense up, "No one at that party seemed to know her, except you…how strange…"
"Look I don't know what – " Julie started but Summer cut her off.
"I think you do. You paid that girl to break your daughter's heart. Ryan and her loved each other Julie…"
"I couldn't very well let her marry that boy from Chino. We both know Jake is much better for her."
"How dare you make that decision for Marissa. She was happy and now she think Ryan cheated on her and Ryan thinks Marissa took off without any explanation."
Julie lowered her voice, " Are you going to tell –'
"No. You have to tell her before the wedding. Otherwise I will Julie." Summer smirked and tried to make her way through the strippers, "Nancy Drew, coming through."
Now that was done she had to get to her car and find Marissa's wedding dress. Without anyone seeing she'd have to move it to the poolhouse…
