Author's Note: Thank you all for the reviews. Keep the reviews coming! Okay, so as much as we are all looking forward to the Lucas, Haley, Nathan, Peyton, Brooke, Julian, Clay, Chris, Chase, Quinn, Mouth, Skills, Millie, and kids reunion I wanted to revisit two other characters from the show.

While Lucas, Lily and Peyton are in Karen's café, the older adults decided to visit Tree Hill high school. Two older women, Karen Roe and Deborah Lee, walk around the grounds of the high school. They walk by the nice flowers and tables. They finally arrive by one of the big benches and sat down.

The two women are dressed in nice apparel. Karen has on a fashionable blue top, black pants and a blue bracelet. She has sleek short hair and sunglasses that are on top of her hair. Deborah is also wearing blue but it is a vest which is underneath a black shirt. The two look beautiful with their high heels complimenting their outfits.

The two just stare at the grass. The silence between them is understood. However, the silence could not last forever.

"Do you remember Tim?" asked Karen

"Yeah, of course I do. He was best friends with Nathan for a long time and he practically followed Nathan everywhere and acted like his bitch" answered Deb

Karen shook her head at that response and even raised her eyebrows. She was used to seeing different sides of Deb but she has not seen the sassy side in a while.

"Well I never told you this and I doubt I even told Lucas this but…Tim's father asked me out when we were all in high school" said Karen

"Wow, was this before or after Dan asked you out?" asked Deb

"This was before Dan asked me out. I was waiting for Dan to make a move…"said Karen

"Well popular girls always get a wide selection of the boys that they can choose from. Actually it's funny I waited for Dan too…anyway continue on with your story" Deb wanted to disclose her past to Karen too but decided to wait till Karen was done explaining her connection to Dan.

"Not much of a story to tell. I turned down Tim's father and many other guys at the school. A few months later, right after I became a cheerleader, Dan asked me out. We dated for a two years, declared our undying love for one another, became prom king and queen…then I became pregnant" stated Karen, then Karen added, "You know this story any way, I told you about how Dan and I got together in the beginning of our friendship"

Deb looked at Karen and then said, "I don't agree with that statement. First off after everything the two of us have gone through, I don't think we are friends. We are sisters. Secondly, you never told me your history with Dan while we were ever in this setting, never by the scene of the crime"

Karen smiled at Deb and said, "You are right. I do consider you a sister…"

Deb looked at Karen and then she said, "Tell me more Karen. Come on there is no Scott men or women around here"

Karen looked around, "Dan was a lot like Nathan when he was in high school"

Deb gave Karen a funny look

Karen turned to Deb and said "hear me out"

Karen looked at Deb and continued, "He was determined to gain his father's approval and he desperately wanted to become a NBA player."

Deb shrugged and said, "So were a lot of boys, didn't Lucas want to be a NBA player too?"

Deb and Karen looked at each other and both laughed. That game meant so much to their children and to their own history.

When the laughter winded down, Deb looked at Karen and whispered, "I honestly wonder what would have happened if Nathan never dated Haley"

"Thank you for getting me back to my line of thinking earlier. Dan was sweet at times, outgoing, determined, smart, sly and a jackass at other times….and maybe it is unfair to compare Nathan to him but I think that—"

"No I agree, although Lucas could be described as those things. I think Nathan wanted the NBA dream more than him. Lucas could live with writing or coaching players but Nathan desperately in the worst way wanted to achieve the NBA"

"Right! I just sometimes wonder if I was different if I could have changed Dan? Could I have changed him like how Haley changed Nathan?" wondered Karen. It was the first time she said it out loud to another person. She hated Dan but she still had what Ifs in her head.

"Well if you could not do it, I don't know which woman can. Come on Karen, he still loved you even though he abandoned you with Lucas. If he could not change for you, I doubt he could ever change for any woman. No I think the only person who could change Dan was Nathan. They had a deep father-son bond." Answered Deb

Karen shook her head and looked toward Deb. Deb told her that Dan loved her many times but Karen could not believe it. The disbelief was a common event, just like Deb did not believe Karen when Karen told her that Dan loved Deb too.

Deb continued, "I sometimes wondered this too. I was known as the rich girl in college and a lot of guys liked me. At the time, Dan asked me out I was so dazzled by his charm and the fact that he wanted to change the world like me. Your remember that I did charity work before meeting Dan?"

Karen looked around, "You did charity work before Dan and you still are doing charity work. Yeah Dan had that way about him…he made people just want to follow or be with him especially when he was younger"

Deb smiled, "like how Nathan used to lead around Tim orrrrr how Lucas got Antwon and Mouth to follow him around"

"While we are talking about Antwon…"

"Karen we are talking about the Scott man that started these chaotic lives" said Deb

Karen smiled but then she looked sad. Her voice started to waver and she could hardly stop how upset she felt.

"I don't even know what I am saying anymore when it comes to Dan. I hate him because he killed Keith, he killed the love of my life…and he robbed my daughter out of a father. He was never there for Lucas…"said Karen

"But you feel sad that he is dead" stated Deb

"Without him I would not have—"Karen started to say

"Nathan" said Deb and "Lucas" said Karen

Both women said it at the same time.

"He saved Nathan's life and although he initially lied to me about him wanting to save the world….he did save my world. Nathan is all I have in the world now. Well Nathan, Jamie, Lydia and even Haley. He may have been a terrible husband and many a time he was a crappy father. He came through for Nathan in the end. He even saved Jamie…I think…I think I can say his name without regret now." Said Deb

"I love Nathan Scott just like I love James Lucas Scott. I am so thankful that they are okay. But every time I look at my daughter, every time I see a picture of Keith…"Karen responded tearfully

"I know, Keith is another story all together…." Said Deb

"One that I hope we can all talk about ladies…" said a voice in the distance
