How I think it should go. Pairings: B/L, N/H, and mixing in a lil J/P Feedback?: Greatly appreciated. Scene: At the river court. The guys are all playing basketball. The girls are watching, having a good time.

Haley comes walking up to the car Peyton and Brooke are sitting on with baby jenny. "Hey," she says announcing her presence.

"Hey Tutor Girl."

The basketball comes rolling over and Peyton picks it up. Jake comes jogging off the court to get it when his eyes catch Peyton's. She tosses him the ball.

"Thanks," Jake says heading back to the game, but not before Brooke snaps a Polaroid.

While holding the picture, Brooke grins and nudges Peyton. "I guess this answers the gay question."

"Gimme this," Hales says before she grabs the camera away from Brooke. "Lean in," she tells them, before taking a picture of Brooke, Peyton, and little baby Jenny.

"Thought you might wanna see this coach. Came a long way since the last time we sat here," Keith told him with a smile.

"Yeah. Makes you wonder where they're all heading," Whitey commented.

"Get your ass over here tutor girl," Brooke instructed.

Haley looked at Peyton and walked over and sat by Brooke. Brooke threw her arms around Haley.

"Picture time! Peyton take a picture."

Peyton looked at Haley and then back at Brooke, shrugging she took the picture. Brooke snatched it as soon as the Polaroid came out.

"This one's for my locker."

Haley turned to her and quirked an eyebrow. "Take any pills lately Brooke?"

"Very funny. Can't a girl try to make amends?" she asked innocently.

"Inside or outside of school?" Hales prompted.

"Both."

Haley nodded. Things were changes. Lucas...of all people personally invites Nathan and the team to the river court. His river court. And her sort of friendship with Peyton. And now Brooke. And yeah...Jake with a baby.
