Hey all, and welcome to my new Fan Fic. This is under One Tree Hill, but I am going to cross it with Smallville, but only as my how it is possible angle. The 'bad guy' is a freak of the week, whose ability is created by meteor rocks, but we don't encounter any of the characters, maybe Chloe later on, but we won't ever meet Clark Kent. This is mainly my way for Nathan to finally forgive Haley and get back together with her, I know I am really punishing him, but I feel that he needs something really drastic to get through to him how much he loves Haley.

Well here we go:

The Incredible Shrinking Nathan Scott

Haley and Nathan were alone, on the beach in front of the apartment that they had lived in together, married, happy, but now Haley had to almost trick him to see her, like today. He had come to see her that Saturday after the first basketball game. The game had been away, and Brooke had "accidentally" found Nathan's jersey after the game and gave it to her. And they were all alone until Monday.

Brooke had taken Peyton on a trip to drown their sorrows and wouldn't be back until Monday morning. Nathan's parents were off at a weekend getaway to appear as the happy couple, while the getaway was really to be free of each other; it was a very big resort.

So there was Nathan looking so hidden and shielded that Haley wanted to cry. "You said that Brooke found my jersey."

"Yeah, it's in the apartment. You coming?"

"Sure, lead on." The two walked up the beach toward the apartment when Nathan noticed something weird, "Where'd you get those?" Pointing at some green rocks that were lining around the pit that had been the bonfire during the last night of summer.

"I don't know, they were mixed in the wood when the guy delivered it."

"Oh," He said, then looked up and saw a strange boy, who looked familiar, standing in the distance, staring in a way that creeped him out, "Who's that?"

"I've never seen him before, but," she said lowering her voice to a whisper, "I get random people, fans, who find it a thrill to see a celebrity."

Nathan could tell that it bothered her, but that she was trying to hide it from him and be brave, he didn't say anything, just put his arm around his wife's waist as they silently walked off the beach.

But apparently this wasn't a sane fan, for the moment he saw Nathan's gesture, he frowned even more, and with a movement, put his hand up, and instinctively covered Haley with his own body shielding her from a blast that he felt hitting his back throwing them both to the ground, "What happened?" Haley asked, startled.

Nathan looked around and saw the kid, who looked familiar to him, but he couldn't quite place him, run off. "He hit me with something, I don't know what it was, but he didn't like me touching you, lets get inside."

"Alright." The two of them walked up the stairs. Nathan felt a weird tingle move through him. He walked up the stairs behind Haley, and it was weird, his clothes felt looser than they had a minute before and when they reached the top, Nathan tripped over his own feet. It felt as though his sneakers were a few sizes too big. And then, when he got back to his feet with Haley's help, he found himself looking at her eyes straight on, and while she was wearing boots with 3 inch heels, he would still be almost a head taller than her. "My God! What happened to you!" Haley exclaiming, realizing what was happening to him, "It was that kid, we have to find him, he did this!"

She moved to go back down the stairs, "Haley," He said softly, stopping her, in the minute that she had stared at him he had shrunk another inch, now shorter than Haley, "Don't leave me. I don't know what's happening, but I don't want to be alone. I can feel this happening, it's not done."

"Don't talk to me like your dying, we'll find that brat, and make him stop this and turn you back."

"I saw him take off in a car, he'll be long gone by now. We're much better off looking in last year's yearbook to find out who he is, cause I know that I've seen him before I just can't place him"

"Alright." Haley opened the door and led her now 5 foot husband inside. She was trying not to freak out; he had shrunk over a foot in 15 minutes; that was half a foot every 5 minutes he was loosing. They sat down in the living room, taking out the year book and started looking through it. "How do you feel?"

"It doesn't hut, if that's what you mean. I just feel a tingle through me. And no, I don't want you to tell anyone that I'm shrinking. Even my parents." Haley looked at him, the shirt which only a half an hour ago had been tight on him, now looked like he was wearing a long night shirt, as he was child size at 3 and a half feet tall. "I love you" he said grabbing her hand, which surprised her at how it fit inside hers while it had engulfed hers. "I always have, and don't let Dan push you around, everything with my name on it is yours too. And I swear when we get through this, and we find this kid, we'll work us out, I promise." Nathan kissed the back of Haley's hand and continued looking through the pictures of the yearbook as intently as if he were looking through mug shots.

Haley watched in near shock as her beloved husband shrank away before her eyes. When he was only 2 feet tall, and then one foot, and smaller. 12 inches, 9, and he was 6 inches tall. He had long since out shrank his clothes, and he was sitting with a washcloth wrapped around his waist looking at the now to him gigantic year book. And then, "Ha!"

"You found him?" Putting a hand around his nearly naked body as his clothes were now the size of a circus tent, and it's not like she hadn't seen it all before, "Well no, but the tingling stopped, that must mean that I've stopped shrinking!"

"Your only 6 inches tall, how can you cheer about that?"

"Well, your right, when your doll size sitting next to your giantess wife, yes you could say that this really does suck, but at least this means that we have more time." She had to agree with this, he hadn't shrunk at all in the last ten minutes.

"Well, your staying with me tonight, that's for sure. I mean, your parent are out of town and you don't want anyone to know, so…"

"It's probably a good idea, but…"

"What?" She said harsher than she intended, but also finding it hard to believe he would object after his admission of love only thirty minutes before. "Sorry. What?" She said, sweetly this time.

"Do you think you could make me some pants?"

"Sure," Haley answered, "I think Brooke has some extra fabric left over from her Halloween costume."

"Alright. Thanks."

"You know," said Haley facing her 6 inch husband who was standing on her sofa on top of the clothes that had fit him less than an hour before, "They say that wives are supposed to take care of their husbands, but this is more than I ever expected…" She said, but Nathan saw a twinkle in her eye, which told him that she was trying to lighten the situation for him.

While she was in the bedroom, Nathan looked around the room that had once been his and Haley's and was now Haley's and Brooke's. Now that they knew that the shrinking had stopped, at least for now, what ever had hit him must have warn off. But now that he was alone in the giant world, he suddenly felt really vulnerable and missed Haley. He was just lucky that the land lord only allowed fish, and that the door and windows were shut. Any animal would see him as Prey in his current condition.

Just as he was looking for a way down to follow Haley, she walked back in, carrying Brooke's sewing machine. "We're in luck, left over fabric and a sewing machine. But, you'll have to use a piece of string for a belt, why don't you come over here, and lay down on the fabric, so I can draw around you so it'll be the right size…"

Nathan saw she had laid the fabric on the coffee table next to the sewing machine, but he knew he'd need help getting from the couch to the table, for it looking like the grand cannon to him, "Um, Hale, I don't…"

She realized what he was referring to, and with a gentleness that he wouldn't have expected from anyone else, she scooped him onto the palm of her hand with her thumb loosely wrapped around his waist. Then having gently moved him on top of the bright red cloth. "Okay now lay down." She said holding up a felt pen that was as tall as he was. But he obeyed; he knew that she would never hurt him.

In no time Haley had made Nathan some pants and a shirt out of the scraps of fabric. Then they went back to looking at the year book pictures. Haley was sitting on the couch, her feet up on the coffee table and Nathan was sitting on her lap as she held up the year book and they continued to look for the bastard who had done this. She looked down at the love of her life, and she knew she would take care of him. She wouldn't leave it up to anyone else, especially not Dan. They didn't know how long this would last, but Haley knew that she was in it for the long run.

To Be Continued…

A/N: I know, it's a little sci fi for One Tree Hill, but I will explain how it is possible eventually, but for now, I simply wanted Nathan to realize what a dope he had been for pushing Haley away… I want lots of Reviews! Next chapter, they find the kid's picture, and Lucas gets involved…
