Disclaimer: I don't own any of the OTH characters; I just merely let my mind wonder.

A/N: This is a Naley story, taking place after Haley decides to tutor Nathan, and it will kind of follow the same sequences but not at the same time. (Hope that wasn't confusing)

Summary: Haley helps Nathan study, they start to grow close.

Story

"Where are we going? Nathan questioned Haley as he followed behind her.

"Don't worry about it."

Nathan looked around hesitantly. They were walking thought an empty alleyway, the only light they had were the few stars, fighting there way around the clouds.

"You're not planning on chopping my legs off, throwing me in a black bag, and then leave me for the maggots are you?"

"You should be so lucky. Watch your step."

They were now walking up an old rusted stairwell. When they got to the top, Nathan realized they were on top of and old building. Nathan looked at Haley, wide eyed with confusion. Before he could ask 'what the hell were they doing here,' Haley answered him.

"No Nathan Scott, I'm not planning on donating your organs to the local hospital, no my sweet delusional tutee, we are going to conquer the wide world of Calculus."

She flipped the switch on the side of the building. Immediately the darkness that once surrounded them disappear and they were now enhanced by a wide awry of colorful lights.

Nathan looked around at the old things that were now put to use.

"Did you make all this?" He questioned.

"Yeah," she replied.

"When?"

"Over the years."

"Why would you waste your time?"

"I ask myself that ever time I show up for our session." She shot back, while walking along the building, touching the Christmas lights as she past them.

Way to go Nathan, another point in Asshole. He thought to himself.

He staggered around, engrossed by all the fascinating things he saw. He then came across a necklace. It was a large Cross, engraved with rhinestones that gave off a lilac tint, and Jesus hanging in the middle. He flipped it to the back; there he found the words, "In the hardest a situation, I see the light. Halayhundra"

He stared breathelessly at the necklace he came out of his daze when he heard Haley's footsteps coming up beside him.

"Are you religious?" He questioned.

"Not really, it was a family heirloom, but after my grandmother died I keep it up here, this was her favorite place, and she was the one who help me waste my time with all this." She said using her arms to show him the things he mocked earlier.

Yet another point in asshole, in just a matter of minutes, a record.

"Why keep it out here if it's so important?"

"I guess it's some sort of way to keep her near."

"So you come here often?"

"Whenever I need to think, or I have a problem, she's a really good listener."

"So she's Halayhundra?'

"Yes and no, this necklace is my Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandmother's, Halayhundra I. My Grandmother is Halayhundra V and I am Halayhundra VI."

'Guess you didn't have a choice when it came to having a name."

'Does anybody? Besides I have 6 other siblings, my parents ran out of names by the time I was to be named." She said.

"Here," she tossed him his text book and slid a chair toward him, "Sit, we have a lot of ground to cover.

Couple of hours later

"Evaluate dy/dt at the given point. x 2 ey-y2/Nx= 1dx/dt=1,y=3."

Nathan looked down at the paper, then back at Haley.

"You've got to be joking."

"I kid you not."

"What does this mean?'

"That's what I want you to tell me."

He shook his head from side to side.

"Okay, try the next one, Find the absolute extreme of F(x)=1/3x2-2x23x-"

"Huh?'

"Nathan! We've been at this for hours, don't tell me you've yet to grasp the concept."

He stared blankly at her.

"Okay, look," she walked over toward him, 'This is what you have to do," she ranted on about how to solve the problem, "Then you take the x to the second power and subtract the absolute and there you go."

"And in English this means?"

She sighed.

"It's means you're screwed." She said in defeat.

"How about we call it a night." He subjected.

"Yeah I think sleep is the only thing that will help you." She replied.

"Maybe if I bring her an apple she'll find me charming."

'Maybe, or she'll think you're an amazing suck up."

'Well I have had some practice with things of that nature."

'Oh shut up," she shoved him toward the stairs. "No one finds out about that."

"Whatever you say fantasy girl." He said while walking down the stairs.

Meanwhile Haley went to get something.

"Haley, you coming?" he shouted.

"Yeah I just have to get something."

'Alright."

A few moments later Haley appeared in front of him. They walked out of the alley and into the light.

"Well, uh, I guess this is goodnight," he said sheepishly.

"I guess," she answered looking down.

"Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home?"

'Thank you Prince Charming, but I'm sure I'll be fine."

He smiled.

"Well, then Goodnight." He turned to walk away when Haley stopped him.

"Hey, Nate."

"Yeah."

"Here," she handed him her necklace, "It's to bring good luck, my grandmother said it helped in the most horrible a situations and given your predicament, I think you''l need it," she said meekly.

"Haley,' he said softly, 'are you sure you want to-"

"Yeah, your rich, I don't have to worry about you selling it to a pawn shop or anything," she chuckled.

"Thank you, I'll be sure to keep it save."

"Just like a true Night and Shining Armor would."

There was an awkward pause.

'Goodnight Nate."

"Night Haley."

They turned in opposite directions walking toward the moonlight.
