The whole gang was gathered at the River Court one last time before they all went their separate ways for the next 4 years. Lucas and Nathan decided to play a game of one on one for old times sake. They walk out onto the court, Nathan takes the ball, goes up for a shot, and Lucas jumps up to block it. Then everything goes black, and Lucas opens his eyes. He realizes that he is in his bedroom. It must have been a dream, but how much of what had happened was a dream, and how much was reality?

He quickly jumped out of bed and looked at his computer. When he saw the date he almost passed out. He was back to the day of the first one on one game between he and Nathan. His entire Junior and Senior year had all been a dream. How could this be? It had all seemed so real. Was this a sign? Would everything that happened in his dream really happen? Did he have the power to change the future? Lucas needed answers, but how would he find them. He turned around and saw a piece of paper lying on his pillow. He walked over and picked it up. It was some kind of a note. All it said was, "The future is now, everything you do can change it." Lucas was floored. Why had this happened to him? Why was he given the opportunity to see his future? What would he change, and what did he want to change?

Lucas looked at the clock. It was time for his first big decision. He had to get to the River Court and face Nathan in a game of one on one. Did he even want to win this game? His future was at stake here, and he had no idea how much this simple game could change. One of his main goals was to make sure he ended up with Peyton. He knew that he was meant to be with her. He also knew that he had to prevent the school shooting. Maybe the real decisions would start to come after the game?

Lucas arrived at the River Court to find his buddies Skills, Fergie, Junk, Mouth, and Jimmy waiting for him. Skills was the first to speak

"Luke, you ready for this dawg?"

"I guess as ready as I'll ever be."

Lucas walked over to Jimmy. He knew that if he was going to stop the shooting that he had to start right away.

"Hey Jimmy, how about you, Mouth, and I hang out after the game. You guys can sleep at my house like old times."

"Sure Luke, but what if you lose?"

"Win or lose my friend."

The question was whether he wanted to win or lose. Just as Lucas finished that thought Nathan and his posse arrived at the River Court ready for the game. Before he knew it, Lucas was right back in a situation he had been in before. Nathan had the ball, with the game on the line. The first time, Lucas had blocked his shot, and then hit a fade away to win the game. This time, Lucas had to decide whether he should win or lose. He had a feeling that he being on the basketball team wasn't a good idea, especially because of his HCM, which he technically didn't know about yet, but he really wanted to get to know Peyton again, so he decided that he could always quit later. Seconds later, Lucas had won the game, and was being swarmed by his friends. He then walked up to Peyton.

"I'll be seeing ya." Peyton then started to walk away, but Lucas called after her.

"Peyton!" She turned around and looked at Lucas.

"You look beautiful tonight. I hope to see you sooner rather than later." Peyton gave Lucas a small smile and nod of the head before walking away blushing.

Lucas knew that he was on track to win over Peyton. Now he just had to make sure that he didn't lose Jimmy.

Please Review! I need to know if this is good, and if I should keep writing.
