Nathan and Tim are playing ball and Nathan keeps missing his shots.

"What are you on this time."

"Lack of Haley. Your excuse?"

"Not enough sex."

"Not an excuse."

"Why not?"

"In case you've noticed, I haven't been having sex, so a new excuse."

"Fine, let's take a break." Tim sighs and he takes another shot.

Nathan checks his messages. He's got 10 missed calls. All from Haley. She's been leaving him tons of messages. All of them containing at least 3 cuss words. All about how much of jackass he's been.

"Haley?" Tim knows nothing about what's happening. He still thinks they're still together. "She booty calling you again?"

"Tim, you know nothing. Like I've said many times before, we've been broken up for about a month."

That right. It's been a month. But a lot has changed. Like the fact that the Raven made the playoffs. Haley has been to every game, in support of Lucas. Not Nathan.

"Still having that party at the beach house?" Tim said all excited.

"Yes."

"I heard that the football team's quarterback has a new dish. She's supposedly hot."

"Is that so, well there's only one hot girl out there."

"No, there's like a million."

"Tim, you are so stupid. Now get ready for me to whip your butt."

"That's not gonna happen with the way you've been playing."

Nathan chuckled. He dribbled the ball from the table and shot it. Whoosh. It went in. "I just needed a focus object."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan went into his bedroom of his one bedroom apartment. He took a quick shower and hopped onto his computer and played with the Sims 3. He played with his character. He suddenly jumped in his seat. His character's wife was in labor. (I don't know if that can happen, go with it.) Haley was in labor. Well, character Haley was. He smiled. He would love if that would happen in real life. Not now, but, after college. Like that would happen. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Hey Nathan." Lucas came in and sat across from his brother. "Tim tells me you've been missing your shots."

"Tim should learn to keep his mouth shut."

"Among other things. But anyway, I made the last shop. I just needed a focus object."

"Haley."

"Yeah. I got 10 messages from he today. All cussing at me. I just want her back."

"Not gonna happen."

"What's that mean?"

"She has a boyfriend."

"Who?"

"Devon."

"Football Devon?"

"That's the one. They've been dating a couple weeks."

"That dick. How dare he date my Haley. She loves me not that asshole."

"She's not yours anymore. She's his. Anyway, they're coming to the party tonight."

"Great. Just what I need. To see Haley and Devon making out."

"You'll be fine."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan just took another shot. It was his tenth one. He'd also had 5 beers. If he had to see Haley with another guy, he'd be drunk.

Haley got caught in the middle of body shots. Nathan was next in line when Haley was up.

"Ex shots!" someone yelled.

Haley looked at Nathan. She shook her head. "What an ass you are."

"Haley, what are you doing?"

"I know what are you doing. I'm not going to do this. You set this up. Just to get near me again."

"This is not what it is. I didn't even know you would be doing this. Forget it. Want me to get your boyfriend?"

"You know about Devon?"

"Lucas told me." Nathan walked back outside. Haley followed him. "Go to Devon. He's probably looking for you."

"I'm sorry you had to find out like that."

"Yeah, you should have told me. But it's okay. We don't owe each other anymore. We're not together. And if we were, I wouldn't let you do shots. At least not in public."

"Devon doesn't care. I could have sex with you and he wouldn't care."

"Then why don't you."

"Not until I'm married. You know that."

"Yeah."

"Listen I have a proposition for you."

"What is it Hales?"

"Stay away from me."

"What?"

"It's hard enough for me to see you at school. And now here. It's just too hard. And the thought of you with another girl. Me having to watch you and her go up to the bedroom is hard."

"When did you see that?"

"My dream. And I didn't want to have to see in in real life. So make sure I'm not watching when you do it for real."

"Not gonna happen."

"Nathan…….."

"I'm not gonna hook up with anyone. You're it for me Haley James."

"Not anymore. I should find Devon." Haley turned towards the door before going back and kissing Nathan on the cheek. "Keep that save."

Nathan covered his cheek and turned toward the ocean.

Brooke seeing this takes Lucas hands and pulls him to and empty bedroom. "I thought that you thought I was a pig for stealing your best friend away from you and now you want to have sex?"

"No, Luke. I have a plan."

"What kind of plan?"

"A plan to get Nathan and Haley back together."

"Why, she's dating Devon."

"Not for long. Listen, as brother to Nathan and best friend to Haley, I need your help."

"With?"

"Operation Naley."
