A/N: This is my first Crossover story, and first story involving the Vampire Diaries. I fell in love with Mason/Haley after seeing the couple of vids on YouTube about them (If you haven't seen them you should), and so this recently popped into my mind. Anyways I hope you enjoy.

August 15th, 1986.

Pamela Sommers was spying through her curtains, waiting for the new neighbours, the James' arrive. She'd met one of them, Lydia, twice; the first when she came to look at the house next door. She was looking for a house for herself, her husband and a handful of kids. How many was a handful? Three? Four? Five? And the second time, last week, when she moved all there furniture in. Pam had been waiting to meet the rest of them since.

Her husband, Arthur, was at his friends, Lawrence Lockwood's house, with his wife Alice, and there kids, Richard and Mason. And speaking of kids, she turned to look at her youngest daughter, Jenna. Jenna was four now, and was her miracle baby. Shortly after she'd given birth to Miranda, her oldest daughter, she got involved in an accident, and was told it was near impossible to get pregnant again. It had taken nearly 12 years, but she'd finally managed it.

Smiling as she watched her daughter she heard a car pulling up outside the house. Looking out the window, she saw a small truck pull up outside the house, at least half a dozen kids sitting in the back. Pfft, a Handful!

She watched as Lydia, her husband and the kids got out the truck, three boys and four girls, and enter there new home. Pam decided that she'd introduce herself later, give them time to move in.

Haley could feel her chest tightening. She couldn't believe it; he was back. After almost 8 years he was back. Why? Well the why was obvious, his brother was dead-though she still didn't actually expect him to turn up. The better question was, why now? He had no communication with… anybody in Mystic Falls since he left, and now just turns up out of nowhere. Looking at him talking to Carol, she remembered the first time they'd met.

August 17th, 1986.

Little Haley Bob James was playing hide and seek with her new best friends, Jenna Sommers and Brooke Davis, at the barbeque that had been thrown to welcome her family to town. She looked round and saw her momma and daddy talking to Jenna's momma and daddy, her oldest sister Vivian was talking with her new friends Richard Lockwood and Miranda Sommers, her bothers (Matt, Charlie and Simon) were scheming in the corner, and Taylor and Quinn were nowhere to be seen.

She spied a shoe sticking out from under the table- a small fash… fash… really nice shoe that she knew was Brookes (Brooke only wore really nice clothes) and so she hurried over to her, ready to catch her. Well that was the plan anyway. What she didn't expect was for a boy to cross her path… or for her to bump into that boy.

Anyway, she did. Looking at him she noticed that he was cute, really cute, and she'd guess about her age. He smiled at her before pulling her up. She smiled back and then he shoved her back down. How nice. "You smell like dog poo." He muttered before running off. Haley felt tears begin to roll down her cheek.

Later that day, after they'd gone home and Haley told her momma what had happened, she received some… 'advice.' "Honey when a boy is mean to you that means that he likes you."

Looking back, Haley knew her mother's words were the start of the problem. If she hadn't said that, maybe she wouldn't of been so obsessed, and then she wouldn't have gotten hurt. She couldn't regret it though, after all she got the greatest gift of all out of the relationship.

Scanning the room again she noticed Mason had his eyes locked on hers. She could feel her breath come faster as he kept his gaze locked onto hers. As he made his way over to her, one last thought circled through her head; At least Quinn's looking after Jamie. She wasn't ready for that conversation yet.

A/N: So here is the first Chapter. I know it's short, but I promise the next one will be longer. All reviews welcome.
