The End of the Beginning
The time that the Laguna Beach high school seniors are dread about has come… graduation day! High School is dunzo and the guys will pack up and separate to go to college.
The Laguna crew prepares for the big occasion getting on the long gown and dorky looking cap. “It’s so huge.” Kristin complains to Alex H. , wishing that they could wear something cuter on this special day. No one knows exactly what to wear. As Jessica tries a revealing red dress in her house that her little sister believes looks like lingerie, Cedric tells Jason that he thinks he’ll just wear his boxer under the gown. Which would certainly make a memorable graduation moment!
Tension rises, as the Laguna cast counts down the hours until they are officially oiut of high school. Knowing this, the parents give the kids graduation gifts in the Laguna style. Nothing say congratulations like a frying pan, or so Kristin’s dad thinks as he hands her his graduation present. “Thanks, dad… it’ll go great in my new apartment?” Kristin says, not knowing how to respond to such an odd gift. The other parents give their kids more traditional graduation presents. Alex H., Jess, and Taylor come to the ceremony with a little more sparkle, as they wear their new necklaces and rings their parents gave them before they left to go to the ceremony. But Casey outshines, as she gets an entire Tiffanys jewelry set, just what she wanted! Casey coos in awe of the gifts as she heads off to the ceremony as well.
Just like any other Laguna event, Graduation day comes and goes. Everyone is there, except for Talan (who decides not to walk and get his G.E.D. instead.
Alex H. and Kristin are laying in bed the day after, in shock that high school is finally over for them. In the spirit of new beginnings, Casey invites Alex M., Taylor and Morgan over to her house for lunch the day after graduation to try to make up for her falling out with the girls. They sit and have lunch together, and decide that the drama should stay behind with their high school days, as they decide to be friends again.
Laguna Beach wouldn’t be Laguna Beach if there weren’t any drama and scandal in it, so as Jason and Lauren get cozy at Jason’s grandparent’s house, Alex H. runs to the beach to tell Kristin and Jessica about the scandalous couple. “That is so random” they all say, as they sit on the beach letting Jessica talk about what a terribe boyfriend Jason will be for Lauren.
