A/N: Hola! Yes yes... Yall! This is the sequel to Nothing is Ever Perfect. I couldn't leave 'Samantha' hanging or whatever. Now, I got inspired to write this when I watched the Down to Earth movie. Which by the way... is funny, but I changed things around so it can be this way. I hope nobody is offended by it, that's not my intention. It's just an AU story. I've wanted to do a One Tree Hill story, but I could never know how to start it or go about making one. So, I'm doing it this way. It's going to be a TRIPLE crossover: The CovenantXXGossip GirlXXOne Tree Hill. And this story will take place a year after Samantha's death. I know there is a lot of 'Naley' fans out there, but Nathan is not going to be in here. Sorry. I love Nathan, but I don't feel like he's going to work into the story. So we'll see where everything goes and see if everything falls into place, the way it's supposed to. Enjoy this and as always kiddies... R&R!

P.S. I OWN NOTHING FROM THE COVENANT... GOSSIP GIRL... OR ONE TREE HILL... just my OC's. Thanx!!

--You Get a Second Chance--

Samantha's POV:

Whoa! This is strange. Where am I? Is this Heaven? Everything is so pretty and white. Didn't I die today?

I looked around and in the distance, I see my parents: Emma and Alan. I walked... wait. I'm not even walking, I'm floating. I could get used to this. So I floated over to them and for some reason, they didn't look too happy to see me.

"Hey, Kiddo." Alan told me.

"Hi... wow, I've missed you both so much."

Emma gave me a weak smile and said "We missed you too, more than you can imagine."

"Then what's wrong? You're not happy to see me?"

"No... no." Emma looked like she was going to cry. "That's not it at all. We are happy to see you."

"Then what is it?"

"Sam." Alan started. "As much as we're glad to see you... it just wasn't you're time to go."

"What?"

"You weren't supposed to die on that operating table."

"And the babies?"

"None of you." Alan said, shaking his head. "You and the twins. You were supposed to be okay. According to the Head Hancho upstairs, all three of you are supposed to live a long and happy life."

I nodded and said "Okay... so now what?"

Emma beamed with excitement and said "You're getting a second chance."

"How? My body is down there on that operating table with my blood on the floor."

"Honey, your body has been buried." My jaw dropped and Emma nodded. "Your body's was buried almost a year ago."

"What?! It's been a year? How come I'm getting my 'second chance' a year later?"

"You know how, when you file papers or documents, and it doesn't get through till way later, because someone misplaced them or fumbled them around?" I nodded. "Well, it was like that." I wanted to laugh at Alan's explaination. "But you will have a new body and a new name."

"You're not going to look like you or sound like you, but you'll still have your personality." Emma smiled and I knew she always loved my personality.

"Wow... this is crazy." I shook my head. "Okay, then can I go back to my kids?"

"Not so fast." Alan said, getting serious. "There are some rules, when you get sent back."

"Rules?" I said, raising my eyebrow.

"Yes, you are Samantha Dawson through and through, but it being a year later and you having a different body, everyone will just think you're crazy. Because they all remember who 'Samantha' was."

Emma shook her head and said "And since your body isn't 'Samantha' like, you won't be able to be a mother to our grandchildren."

"Wonderful." I said, sarcastically.

"But they are so beautiful."

"Thanks, Mom." I smiled.

"Look at it this way, no... you won't be able to be a mother to them, but you'll be able to see them grow up."

"How am I supposed to do that, if I won't look like me?"

"Ease your way into their lives." Alan smiled. "I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard."

"This is going to be difficult... I mean, they're my babies. I carried them, I loved them, and got attached to them in my stomach."

Emma grabbed my hand and said "Honey... we know this is hard for you to grasp, but it's the only way for you to have your second chance."

I slowly nodded and said "Okay, so let me get this straight." I paused. "I can go back to all my family and friends, but I won't look like me and the only way to be close to my kids is to become friends with them?"

"Pretty much." Alan nodded.

"Do you know how hard that's going to be? You know how Chuck and Blair are." I shook my head. "All right... I won't look like me, but I'll still have my personality. Won't they catch on that it's me or something?"

"It's complicated on how this works, Pumpkin." I smiled, I miss Alan calling me that. "When they meet you, they'll think they're having deja vu."

"Even me?"

"Not exactly." Emma started. "When you go back, you're not going to remember this conversation or you being here. But, you're going to remember who you were, before all of that happened."

"This is crazy." I shook my head.

"Just let the chips fall where they may." Emma smiled. "Everything will turn out okay."

I nodded, taking eveything in and said "So... where's my new body?"

"There's this girl named: Haley James, that's laying in the hospital. Haley and her friends were on road trip in New York. She's nineteen and she works at a hospital as a medical assisstant back in North Carolina."

"What happened to her?" I asked and Emma waved her arm, then we started looking at what looked like a window, floating in the air, with this 'Haley' person lying on a hospital bed.

"She got into a car accident four months ago and the doctors think she's going to be a vegetable, so they are thinking of pulling the plug."

"Oh no, she's so pretty." I paused. "So, I'll remember my life and everyone that was in it, but be living as her?" I repeated again, to make sure. "I won't look like me or sound like me... it will be all her?"

Alan put his arm around my shoulder and said "Yeah." he paused. "Haley's friends are: Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, Skills, Mouth, Karen, and Julian."

"What kind of names are Skills and Mouth?"

"They're nicknames." Alan laughed.

"Fantastic." I sighed.

"We have faith in you, that you'll find your way." Emma smiled, then there was a minute of silence. "This is where we say goodbye, Sam." Oh no, I could hear the hurt in Emma's voice. "We're so glad and greatful that Lily chose us to be your parents." she gave me a hug. "We love you so much."

"I love you too." I let go of Emma, then gave Alan a hug.

"You take care of yourself, Pumpkin."

"I will, thank you for raising me." we broke from the hug, and both of them nodded. "I miss you already." I giggled.

"We know you'll enjoy your new life." I nodded. "You ready, Kiddo?" Alan asked me, I smiled and then everything turned black.
