Opening scene - Cohen kitchen - Sandy goes to the cupboard and takes out a glass, he then goes to the fridge takes the juice out of the fridge and as he closes the fridge door we see Kirsten standing in her PJ's with a big red bow an arrow (Cupids arrow) she shoots him in the face with it, and Sandy isn't impressed.
Kirsten: (shoots arrow) ooooh (laughs, excited) Happy Valentines Day someone just got struck by Cupids arrow (kisses him on the cheek) mwa (Sandy is emotionless) Happy Valentines day

Marissa: that is a good question, but this year I'm doing my best to avoid Valentines Day completely
Jimmy: what you an Ryan are...
Marissa: I...don't really wanna talk about it...an neither does he
Jimmy: hm well, it is Valentines Day, sometimes the big romantic gesture is more effective then talking (sighs) (Marissa thinks) (takes the lid off the box) ooh, there's no way your mom gave me these right (offers Marissa one) no she doesn't make her distain for me a secret much less her admiration
Marissa: well have you kissed anyone recently (eats cookie)
(Jimmy doesn't say anything, but he looks as though he's thinking)

Summer: yeah
Seth: I was beginning to view it as a uh sort of a rabbits foot for good luck only but that's-
Summer: (covers his mouth with her hand) (softly) your about ta get lucky (kisses him)
(Summer sits up and takes her singlet/tank top off, Seth is on his elbows just watching her in awe, and her hair falls on her bare shoulders)
Seth: whatever you say Summer, yes...yes

(Luke walks off, shaking his head. Julie watches him walk away, smiling)
CUT TO: Summer's bedroom - Summer and Seth are lying on her bed next to each other, under the sheet. Seth is holding the sheet to cover his chest, Summer has hers covering her chest with both hands resting on to. we are seeing them from above the bed, they both look awkward/not sure. definitely not anything you'd expect
Seth: so...that was sex
Summer: yep
Seth: I'm gonna go...
Summer: (frowns) me too
Seth: but you live here
Summer: I meant down stairs
Seth: oh ok
Summer: perfect
(Summer pulls the sheet to go with her as she gets up, this pulls what Seth had off him, we see him completely naked from only just above his waist. he has his hands clasped together on his chest. he looks down then grabs Summers pillow and puts it just below his chest. he sits up holding the pillow there then gets off the bed but we don't see anything passed him on the side of the bed, he just disappears out of the shot after that)
CUT TO: The pool house - Ryan is sitting on his bed studying, Marissa knocks then walks in.
Ryan: hi
(Marissa doesn't say anything, she is holding a single red rose and walks over to him, smiling. when Marissa reaches
Ryan he is almost standing, she kisses him, breathing heavily and pushes him back on the bed. she continues kissing him. Ryan looks shocked)
Marissa: (undoes the buttons on his shirt) I love you so much (she sits up and takes her top off so she's just in her singlet/tank top) we've waited a long time to (kisses him) mmm (smiles) you know (Ryan doesn't look happy) (unbuttons more buttons) an I thought maybe we could start Valentines Day early (kisses him) mm
(she runs her hand down his top, to the waist of his pants, Ryan stops her)
Ryan: (stops kissing) mm no wait, wait hold on
Marissa: (gets off him a bit) what, don't you wann'to
Ryan: no (Marissa sits down on the bed, hurt)
Ryan: (frowning) no I mean yeah (sits up) yeah of course but uh, with everything that's happened it just uh (sighs) it jus seems a little soon
Marissa: (closes her eyes) I jus wish it hadn't happened, that we could still be like we were (Ryan doesn't say anything) an I just wanted ta make it up to you
Ryan: you don't have ta...do this
Marissa: (embarrassed) (stands up) no your right (picks up her top) so um I guess ill uh...go...cause this is just really-
Ryan: wrong

Seth: (follows him) no - not that bad, it was...just kinda weird
Ryan: weird
Seth: yeah but not kinky weird more like weird awkward (Ryan frowns) but hey you know what it was my first time she's a more experienced woman that's to be expected, an I did (nods)...make some faces in the middle that I wish that (laughs) I could uh take back but I cant and there's also sort of a whiney noise that came out towards the end (Ryan looks at him with a T.M.I expression) that uh that probably wasn't my finest hour. an I sucked SO-BAD. I was like a fish floppin around on dry land. Ryan I was Nemo an I just wanted ta go home
Ryan: well don't worry about it you'll get another chance
Seth: yeah that's the thing though I'm not sure that I will, the situation with Summer's murkier now then it was before the awful fish - sex
Ryan: I wouldn't refer to it as fish sex ever again
Seth: that's a good point, that's somethin that I was hopin to get a little bit more of uh tips, tricks of the trade, I think Summers use'ta drivin a higher performance vehicle
Ryan: yeah I don't know if I'm the guy ta talk to about romance these days

Summer: he doesn't hate you
Marissa: he turned down sex
Summer: you might be onto something (Marissa looks sad) hey you can't beat yourself up over it, no one knew that Oliver was gonna turn out to be such a looney tune
Marissa: except Ryan an I didn't listen (Summer sighs) I don't know (shrugs) maybe we jus weren't meant to be together
Summer: maybe we were jus chasing after the wrong boys
(they both look at each other)
CUT TO: Cohen house - Kirsten is working on decorations for the singles dance. Sandy comes in
