The OC:Our way *inspired by POTC:Our story*

[minnie_2006]

Heya,
I just had an idea for a new thread, it's basically like the POTC:Our story (sorry!) thread but instead we're using the storyline of the OC. Obviously I'm from England and so I'm behind on the episodes in America-but for me season 3 has just finished. But I decided we could start from a point where they're all starting at uni-except Marissa's still alive (and going to uni). What happens from there is up to all you guys. So one person does a bit of the story then the next poster carries on. You can do it in any format u want (i.e in script style or using speech marks). I personally prefer writing in script style but u can write in whatever way u prefer.

Marissa and Summer are laying by the poolside on their sunloungers. Beside each sun lounger they have a small coffee table where they both have a small glass of cocktail. It's a sunny day and they're both hoping to get a tan before they start university.
Summer: Coop, I'm so glad you decided to go to Berkley instead of that job on your dad's boat. I mean I can't really imagine Marissa Cooper, a social queen, in a pinny
Marissa: *laughs and playfully whacks Summer* Well I can't really imagine you at Brown! You know since you realised Seth wasn't so bad you've really changed Summer.
Summer: What? I'm not a geek am I?
Marissa: No it's just before you were tryna fit in with all the cool kids but now you do your own thing.
Summer: Mmmm I don't really get what you're saying but you know I'm just glad you're off the drink and you got rid of that weird Volchok guy.
Marissa: I just wanna forget about that!
A moment's silence
Summer: Do you think Seth is bad influence on me with this whole comic book obsession? Do you think suddenly I'll start boring you with details about my new comic book collection?
Marissa: Summer!
Summer: What?
Marissa: You worry too much!
Julie Cooper walks up to the two girls with a worried look on her face

I don't have any ideas/time right now...but this is GREAT and I'll DEF be participating in it!

 

[minnie_2006]

thanks Ash -well I just know if I was a writer of the OC I would change a lot of things (like Marissa's death!)

 

[minnie_2006]

bump..

 

[catycatcat4]

if i had any idea what the OC was and i wasnt bussy with pirates id reply
and im starting to have the feeling me and the others at potc3 our story have made a monster anf there will be a lot more of these lol who knows the mods might have to make a sub board for them

 

[minnie_2006]

well i've always been into writing AND the OC so I enjoy this sort of thing...I just hope I'm not the only one lol!!

 

[potcislove]

Okay, so I used to be addicted to the OC.
Kinda got fed up with season 3 not being nearly as good, and kinda decided to stop watching for next season.
But then, I read some spoilers, and I sorta just wanna see how it goes =] lol

Anyway, I'll continue the story...

"Girls, I have to go. Neil was in a car accident, and...Oh god, what am I going to do?"
Julie said, tears streaming down her face?
"Ohmigod, he is okay?!?!!" Summer asked, her voice now filled with worry.
"Mom, don't worry..Mom, calm down!" Marissa said, while trying to soothe her mother.
"I know, I know..It's just that I can't take this anymore. First your accident, now his? When everything finally seemed to be falling into place?"

 

[minnie_2006]

Meanwhile, Ryan is laying on his double bed in the poolhouse. He seems upset about the car accident. Seth comes rushing in not noticing Ryan's quietness.
Seth: Ryan,
Ryan: What?
Seth: We need a miracle.
Ryan: Huh?
Seth: It's almost the end of our summer vacation and we have achieved nothing!
Ryan: So..
Seth: We need to DO something. All you've been doing all summer is lying on your bed and occassionally giving us a peek of the Atwood smile. We, my friend, have battles to fight. Places to be, people to see.
Ryan: *Sits up* Seth, I'd prefer it if I was left alone.
Seth: *not really interested in what Ryan is saying* Atwood and Cohen, heroes of the Orange County.
Ryan: Well hero I need to tell you something!
Seth: What?

 

[potcislove]

"I'm not going." Ryan said, annoyed.
"Going where?" Seth replied, ignoring the tone in Ryan's voice.
"Out to see Orange County. Berkley. Anywhere."
"Okay, can you be ready in 5 minutes? And then we'll go over to the Bait Shop." Seth said, as he left the room.
"I'm not coming!" Ryan called, but Seth was already gone. He hesitated and thought it over, and decided that maybe a trip to the Bait Shop was the distraction that he needed. Besides, what was the likely hood that he would run into Marissa anyway?

 

[minnie_2006]

Marissa and Summer are in the Bait Shop drinking some milkshakes. They both look really miserable
Marissa: Why does MY mum always go for the guys who end up hurting themselves!
Summer: I think my dad is the best guy so far.
Marissa: Until he ended up in a car accident. Don't you think you should call Seth? I mean he's tried calling you like a zillion times and you've ignored his calls. He is your boyfriend you know.
Summer: I know but...*at that moment Seth and Ryan walk in unaware that Summer and Marissa are nearby. They don't notice they are there so they walk over to a different table. Summer quickly grabs a menu, ducks down and hides behind the menu; along with Marissa*
Marissa: Summer, why are we doing this?
Summer: *whispering* Because they're over there!
Marissa: Who?
Summer: *still whispering* Ryan and Seth!
Marissa: So, why don't you go over and talk to them?
Summer: Why don't you! *whispering* I mean, if you're so keen to explain what's happened why don't you!
Marissa: What's to hide! Your dad's been in a car crash. What's so embarassing about that!
Summer: *whispering* Shhh keep your voice down! *Summer looks over and realises Seth and Ryan have left the Bait Shop. She puts the menu away and both Marissa and Summer sit back normally* Well...I mean...if I tell Ryan, he'll find some way to start a fight and if I tell Seth, he'll...
Marissa: He'll be concerned!
Summer: Exactly, I've caused him enough trouble over the last few months, I don't want his stress levels to rise even more. Then again, he's gonna have to find out sooner or later. *silence* Wait, how and why was my dad in a car crash to begin with! I mean, my dad is a pretty good driver and luckily he doesn't have a temper on him so what's caused this accident. *starts speaking really quickly* I mean I don't think he's speeded or anything 'cos he tells me loads of time for me to slow down when driving. Why! I mean why my dad! Why not Taylor's! Why not, I don't know but why did it have to happen to my dad...MY DAD! * a moment's silence*
Marissa: Summer, it...it..why don't we go and head to the mall? Maybe that'll take your mind off things. *grabs her bag*
Summer: For once, I'll gonna turn down the offer of some retail therapy and instead..
Marissa: Talk to Seth? *Suddenly Seth appears*
Seth: Talk to Seth about what?

...

Summer: About...about...abbboouuuttt...
Marissa: How much she wanted to take you to the mixer I'm having this Saturday night!
Summer: What mixer?
*Seth looks confused. Marissa kicks Summer under the table*
Summer: OH, that mixer...right...I'd forgotten already! Silly me...
*Summer looks out the window nervously*
Seth: Aw that's cool. Listen, my dad's having a dinner party tonight with yet more of his stuffy associates. He insists that the whole family is going to be there, so naturally...I'm inviting you *indicates Summer*, because I'm definitely not sitting through that alone.
Summer: Well, actuallllyyyy...Coop and I were...
Marissa: Were just discussing how I have to go out of town tonight, sooo, she'll be free.
*Summer gives Marissa a death stare.*
Seth: Awesome, see you then.

 

[minnie_2006]

Kirsten is in the kitchen and Sandy walks in. Sandy still hasn't mentioned the fact that they are hosting a dinner party tonight, even though he's already invited everyone.
Sandy: Good afternoon my sweet. *kisses Kirsten on the cheek*
Kirsten: What do you want?
Sandy: Ooo that's a difficult one. I wouldn't mind a good old party.
Kirsten: Well not tonight if that's what you're asking. I'm just shattered.
Sandy: That could be a slight problem.
Kirsten: What do you mean? Saandy..
Sandy: It's just..well...I happened to have invited some work friends to...
Kirsten: Oh I see, you told them they could come along to our house tonight to have a dinner party? And you thought that would be fine and somehow I would agree with all this.
Sandy: Something like that.
Kirstens: *playfully whacks Sandy* Well I don't. Sandy, I've just got so much on my mind right now, with Neil's accident and everything. Julie keeps calling me for comfort. And without Julie, it's hard to run the business.
Sandy: Kirsten, just this once. Why don't I say, I'll book us in for a nice romantic meal at the best restaurant in town?
Kirsten: Well you won't be taking me that's for sure.
Sandy: Why not? Okay lets forget about the whole meal thing. But please can we go ahead with this dinner party? I know some great caterers who can do all the food. All you have to do is just be yourself. *kisses Kirsten on the cheek again*
Kirsten: Okay but...I'm not doing this everyday!
*Then Seth walks in*...

"Is it alright if Summer comes for dinner tonight?" Seth said, while taking a drink from the refridgerator.
"Of----" Sandy began.
"Good, cause I already invited her..."
"Hey." Ryan walked into the kitchen and sat down.
"Ryan, why don't you invite Marissa over tonight?" Sandy suggested.
"For your dinner party tonight?" he asked.
"No, she's going out of town," Seth explained.
"Where is she going?" Ryan asked.
"No idea. But thats what she said at the Bait Shop."
"Oh god, she better not be hanging out with Volchek again!" Ryan exclaimed.
"Ryan, you gotta stop jumping to conclusions. She's not even your girlfriend anymore. For all you know, she's enjoying a nice, lovely dinner with Kaitlin. Or maybe, going to pick out a 'get well soon' card for Dr. Roberts. Or maybe she's going to..." Seth babbled, but Ryan was already on his way out the door.

 

[Princess Ash]

*The setting sun is streaming through the window, covered softly by a sheer white curtain. Marissa is sitting on her bed, reading Cosmopolitan. It is a scene of utter peace when...*
*Ding dong...Marissa stops mid-page flip, hoping whomever it is, will go away...
POUND POUND POUND...Marissa closes the magazine in annoyance, puts it on her bedside table...and gets up.

Cut to front door.

She opens it to find Ryan standing there.*

Marissa: Ryan, what are you...?
*Ryan looks over her shoulder on either side, peering in the house, trying to see if anyone is there*
Ryan: I was uh, just, checking in on you.
Marissa: Checking in on me? *laughs indignantly* What are you? My babysitter now? I kinda outgrew needing one about 10 years ago...
*Ryan ignores her snide comment*
Ryan: So Seth tells me you're going out of town tonight. Where you headed? Need a ride?
Marissa: First of all, what are you talking about? And second of all, it's none of your business where I'd be going, if I were going somewhere.
Ryan: So you're not going anywhere?
Marissa: Why do you care so much?
Ryan: Who says I care?
Marissa: Then what are you doing here?
Ryan: Well, I...ugh...I don't know. I'll go.
*Ryan turns away, utterly rejected.*
Marissa: Ryan wait...

So far, so awesome guys Keep em coming!!!

 

[potcislove]

Ryan: What is it?
Marissa: Look, I'm not mad at you. I just have no idea what you're talking about, I'm not going anywhere. Honest.
Ryan: Oh..Well, Seth said, and then...
Marissa: **laughs** No, no, I'm not going anywhere.
Ryan: Well, oh..okay. I guess I should get going. Sandy's having this party thing, I should probably help set up.
Marissa: Okay. Bye!

**Ryan gets in the car and calls Seth**
Seth: Hello?
Ryan: Why'd you tell me Marissa was going out?
Seth: What? She said she was.
Ryan: Well, you must've imagined that.
Seth: No, I didn't...Hold on, Summer's at the door. Summer, right Marissa's going out tonight? That's what she said?
Summer: Uh, I guess. Why?
Seth: Ryan just went over there, and she's not going anywhere.
Summer: Oh, well then I better get back there. **Starts walking towards her car**
Seth: I'll come with you.
Summer: No, you don't have to.
Seth: Nah, it's no problem.
Summer: No.
Seth: **jokingly** What, are you trying to avoid me?
Summer: **stops walking**
Seth: Ohmygod...You are.

 

[Princess Ash]

Side note: after reading these, i realize how seriously OC deprived I am...so you people better keep these updates coming!

Summer: No...Cohen...I'm not...it's just...
Seth: It's just that you ARE avoiding me. Why?
Summer: It's just...weird.
Seth: What is?
Summer: Everything. This is our last summer together. We've been together throughout high school, and I've always had someone to count on, and now, you're not going to be there...and it's just...I mean...
*Seth walks up to her her and hugs her tight*
Seth: I will ALWAYS be there Summer. I will ALWAYS take care of you, no matter what, ok?
Summer: I love you Cohen.
Seth: *Trying to lighten up the mood* Yeah, I know.
*Summer hits him with her white leather purse*
Seth: *Winks at her* Oh, I mean I love you too Princess.
Summer: That's what I thought.
*Seth stands in front of Summer and holds her hands*
Seth: Now will you please come inside with me and help me survive this nightmare of evil villans? Where would Batman be without his Robin?
Summer: Now I'm a pubescent sidekick?
*Seth Laughs*
Seth: Nah, more like Catwoman - best friend, arch nemesis.
*They both laugh, he slinks his arm around her neck, and she slips her arm around his waste, and they walk inside.*

 

[minnie_2006]

i'm confused...i just read the last post on the other page and Seth doesn't know about Neil's accident yet..

 

[minnie_2006]

I'm very confused on whats happenin at the mo!
Why did Summer say Marissa was goin out tonight?
Why does Seth suddenly know about Neil's accident even though Summer hasn't told him yet?
