OK, I was thinking…What if there was another kid introduced into the family- a girl, around 14, really cute. This is my idea, hope it’s ok. It’s my first try at it. :)

Chapter 1:

Seth: and Ryan just got home and walk in through the front door. As they walk in, they see Sandy and Kirsten in the living room with a young girl. She’s cute- 14 years old.

Seth: Amanda? Hey? (pauses) How’s it going? (looks puzzled)

(Ryan looks at Seth and has no idea who this person is)-

Sandy: Hey guys, come in here. Ryan, this is my niece Amanda, - Amanda, this is the boy we were telling you about. He lives with us and is staying in the pool house.

Seth: (Smiles & looks at Ryan) Yep, He's a Cohen now

(Ryan smiles at her and waves, but doesn’t say anything.)

Seth: So Amanda, what are you doing here?

(Kirsten invites Ryan and Seth to sit down on the couch.)

Sandy: Some things have come up at Amandas house, and so she will be staying with us for a while.

(Seth and Ryan both look surprised)

Seth: Oh… OK..Hey, om..that’s cool… We can like, show her around and stuff, right Ryan

Ryan: Kind of in his own little world) Oh- ya sure, whatever you want to do.

(Kirsten starts heading out of the room)

Kirsten: I’m going to fix up the guest bedroom, Amanda, why don’t you come help me… (They both leave the room)

(Seth looks at Sandy)

Seth: Woa ? She has really changed, she’s grown up! She’s hot!.(Looks puzzled, but in a jokingly way). Did I just say that about my own cousin! “Snap”

Sandy: Ya, well she may look grown up, but she’s only 14. She’s going through a lot right now, so I’m counting on you guys to help her out around here. I don’t know how long she’s going to be with us, but it will be for a while. Help her meet people and make some friends. And I don’t mean guys who think she’s “HOT” either.

(Ryan looks at Seth and shakes his head and gives a half smile, but has been pretty quite the whole time)

Seth Well, why is she here? What happened?

Sandy: She was taken away because of things that have happened, I can’t go into detail, I’ll let her talk about it if she wants. I didn’t want her to go into the foster care system. I wanted her to come here instead.

(Ryan is looking a little scared. Sandy notices he feels a little uncomfortable.)

Sandy: Of all people, I know that you can relate to her Ryan, she may need someone to talk. Try to make yourself available to her. You guys kinda have the same backgrounds.

(Ryan, feels a little relieved- gives a half smile)

Ryan: Ya sure, what ever I can do to help.

(Smiles at them both and stands up to walk out.)

Sandy: Great, you guys help her get comfortable around the house.

(Leaves Ryan and Seth by themselves in the living room)

Seth: So what are you thinking? puts his hands to his mouth) I’m thinking a night on the town…Summer is having that party at the beach house; we can take her and let her meet everybody. You know Marrisa will be there too. We can have a little fun.. What do ya say?

Ryan: I don’t know,… You think she might want to go out or stay in, I mean, she just got here?

Seth: (Jokingly, nudges Ryan with his arm). You think she’s hot don’t you?

Ryan: NO!… Not at all… I mean, she’s not ugly or anything, she’s cute. But she’s only 14! Plus, me and Marissa are doing better right now. I don't want to screw anything up again. I’m not even looking at other girls right now.

Seth: Ya, Marrisa would be mad. It’s so weird seeing her …so… tall…and cute. I haven’t seen her since she was like (Thinks) 10 years old!.

(They both get up and go into the kitchen, and Amanda walks in)

Seth: So, Amanda, what kind of things do you like to do?

Amanda: I don’t know, I never really got into anything. I just hung out with my friends all the time. I guess you can say I didn’t have a life. What do you guys do around here?

Seth: We just party with people we don't like and have sex.

(Amanda looks at him with a disgusted look)

Seth: Ok, I can see where that would go.. no really, I um..I like to surf, and Ryan here..He likes to play soccer. Right Ryan?

Ryan: Ya, sure. I play soccer at school.

Amanda: (Smiles at Ryan) really! I love soccer. I used to play when I was in grade school. That’s so cool!
(She has a crush on Ryan)

(Kirsten and Sandy enter the room)

Sandy: So, what do you guys have planned tonight?

Seth: We were going to go over to summers for a little party in the pool house. (Looks at Amanda) Amanda, you want to come with us. It’ll be fun. You can meet Summer and Marissa.

Amanda: Ya sure, I could use something different right now.

(Kirsten looks at Sandy with a worried look)

Sandy: Amanda can go, but I want you guys back by 11pm, besides, there’s nothing to do after11pm besides get into trouble!

Seth: (Looking totally shocked) WHAT? We never had a curfew before?

Sandy: Well, you never went anywhere before…at least not with my 14 year old Niece! (Smiles at Amanda)

Seth: (Sarcastically) Thanks for reminding me of my cramped social life of these wonderful teen years!

Sandy: (As he’s walking away with Kirsten, he yells back…) 11pm!

Seth: (Looking a little upset) That totally sucks!

Amanda: Sorry guys, I can stay here if you guys want to stay out later.

Ryan: No, that’s ok, were usually back here before then anyways,

(The door bell rings, Marissa walks in)

Marrisa: Hey, (Kisses Ryan) you guys ready to go to Summers, I'll give ya a ride. (She looks at Amanda) Hi...

Seth: Marissa...This is my cousin Amanda, Amanda- Marissa, Ryan’s girlfriend.

(Amanda doesn't look too happy)

Next Scene:
They all leave and go to Summers house for the party.
