Hey Everyone!  I got this idea earlier this week. It is a slight AU

"Lucas! Haley!" Karen Scott called up the stairs to her children

"You are going to be late!"

"Relax Karen" Keith Scott told his wife

Karen and Keith Scott had been married for 17 years. After Lucas was born and Dan had given up his rights, Keith adopted Lucas. 3 months later they adopted Haley. Karen and Keith had told Haley that she was adopted when she was 6, but she never saw it any different. They were her mom and dad. Lucas had also known that Keith was not his father, but he also had no desire to know who his real father was. As far as he was concerned, Keith was his dad and Haley was his sister and no one could tell him otherwise.

"I can't believe they are graduating today. I am so nervous"

"You are nervous? I am giving a speech in front of all of those people. I am the one who is nervous" Haley Scott said as she came down the stairs

"I am nervous for you sweetie" Karen said to her daughter

"Hales, you don't have to be nervous it is just all of our classmates, family and friends, school staff...." Lucas Scott said teasing his sister

Seeing the evil look that Haley was giving Lucas, Keith said "You two better go. You have to be at the stadium in 10 minutes. We will see you there in a couple of hours"

"Bye Mom! Bye Dad" Haley said as she walked out the front door behind Lucas

"Bye Guys! Good Luck!" Karen called after them

"Alright, Karen. Are you nervous because they are graduating or are you nervous because of another reason?" Keith asked

"I just know Dan is going to be there today. Even though, him and Deb have been divorced for years. Nathan is graduating too."

"Karen, he hasn't been around since Nathan was 3"

"I know. I am worried that he is going to show up and start trouble. You know that is what he lives for.

"You think that he is going to tell Lucas and Nathan they are actually brothers and not cousins like they have always thought? Karen, They are going to find out eventually and I don't think it is really going to change anything"

"I know. I just hope it is not today. I don't want anything to ruin their special day"

Lucas and Haley parked in a parking spot next to their cousins Nathan and Peyton.

"Hey guys" Nathan Scott greeted his cousins as they got out of Lucas's truck

"Hey" Haley said nervously

"Haley, what's wrong?" Peyton Sawyer asked cousin and best friend

Deb and Dan had divorced when Nathan was 3 years old. When Nathan was 4, Deb had met and married John Sawyer who also had a 4-year-old, Peyton. They had grown up knowing they were not biological siblings, but they were a family. Nathan, Lucas, Peyton and Haley had been inseparable since that day.

"She's a nervous wreck" Lucas answered

"Hales, you will do fine. Just imagine everyone in their underwear" Peyton said

"Oh, yea that will be pretty. That would probably frighten her more." Nathan said

"Yea, Whitey in his underwear" Lucas said as he shook of the image

"You two are not helping!" Peyton said

"I am just afraid that I am going to forget my whole speech or that I am going to fall off the stage. This is my last chance to leave a good impression with most of these people."

"Haley, forget them. Do this for you. You earned it!"

"Yea!"

"Hey guys! What going on?" Brooke Davis said as she came up to the group followed by her boyfriend Felix

"Hey Brooke" Peyton said "Just giving Hales a little pep talk"

"You nervous, Haley?" Brooke asked. "Don't worry you will do great!"

"We are all right behind you. Cheering you on" Lucas said as he gave his sister a hug.

"Yea, that is what friends and family are for" Nathan said

"Hey Guys, we better get in there. I can feel a death ray coming from principal Conner" Felix said

The group turned around faced the entrance to the stadium after standing there for a moment, one of their last moments as high school seniors; they walked into the stadium as a group.

As the stadium filled a couple of hours later with friends and family of the graduates. Keith and Karen took their seats on the fourth row and waited for the ceremony to begin.

"I wonder where Deb is." Karen said. "She said she would be here by now" They had been great friends since the kids were little. They were also business partners

"She is probably running late" Keith said

"Hey Guys!" Deb Sawyer said as she came up behind the couple along with her husband John Sawyer

"Hey Deb! Hey John!" Keith greeted them

"I was beginning to wonder where you were" Karen said

"Sorry, I was running a little late getting home" John said "We got caught up at the pier in Baltimore"

"The kids were so worried that he wouldn't be here" Deb said

"I am sure they will be glad to see that you made it home"

"I wouldn't miss this for the world. The four musketeers graduating, who would have thought this day would come so soon"

"It seems like just yesterday and they were going to their first day of kindergarten" Keith said

"Yea, Deb and I were crying while you two took picture after picture" Karen said

"Now, look at them" Deb said with tears in her eyes

"Our babies are all grown up" Karen added as she started to cry

"I got plenty of tissues" John said handing one to each them as they school song started to play and the class started to file in to the field

Petyon, Haley, Lucas and Nathan all walked out onto the field together thankful that all of their last names started with "S"

Peyton looked to the stands trying to locate her parents, aunt and uncle. When she spotted her dad tears came to her eyes. "He made it" She leaned over and told her brother.

"He promised he would. Dad never breaks a promise"

After all the seniors were seated and the principal had given his opening speech. Haley came to the podium. She looked out at her cousins and brother then up the stands where her parents, aunt and uncle were sitting waving; She took a deep breath and began her speech.

"Good evening classmates, family, friends, faculty and staff. Today we close the book on a chapter of our lives. Today we become high school graduates. For some of us, it is a day that we thought would never come and for others it is a day that we didn't want to come. It is a day when we would be leaving the comfort of these walls to embark on a world that has no walls. Some of us will be leaving in the fall to go off for a higher education and some of us will stay here in Tree Hill. However, we will never be the senior class of Tree Hill High School again, but we will always have the memories that it gave us. We will be able to look back and remember when our basketball team won the high school basketball championship or the high school dances that we attend over the past four years. I would like to thank of all of you for giving me some of the best times I have ever had in my life. So to all of our parents, friends and family thank you for sticking by us all these years. To our teachers and other staff thank you for teaching us all you could. To my fellow classmates, Good luck and I hope to see all of you sometime soon."

As Haley finished her speech the rest of the seniors clapped and stood to give her a standing ovation. Lucas and Nathan both let out whistles that could be heard around the town as Haley returned to her seat with the biggest smile on her face.

Sitting on the opposite side of the stands from their parents was Dan Scott, he watched as Lucas and then Nathan walked across the stage. They looked so happy; little did they know he was about to rock their quiet world.

Ok, What do you think? Let me know if I should continue.  I couldn't remember what Peyton's dad's first name was, so I used another name.  Thanks!
