So i decided to do a One Tree Hill and Everwood crossover. Both shows are the exact place they left off on tv...tell me what you think...review and leave suggestions please...i'll try to have another chapter up by tonight but by the latest wednesday...don't worry i'll update my other stories too!...enjoy
The small town was just like her home except for the fact that Everwood was completely landlocked and Tree Hill, well, wasn't. Tree Hill just like Everwood was a small town and small towns talk and know her history before she ever spoke to anyone. She didn't want them to know. She just wanted a normal life again; a better life. A life without secrets or pain.
She reached up and rang the bell and listened as it echoed through the mansion. When no on came she decided to ring again and still she was left on the porch waiting. The house sounded so empty when the bell resounded through it. Most mansions were usually like that though. Rich people didn't need to stay in their homes, they could jet anywhere they wanted to.
"Just my luck." She said under her breath as she walked back to her car. She needed a lace to stay and her aunt was her only shot. She began aimlessly driving the streets and came to find Tree Hill was smaller than she remembered.
She passed a small café, Karen's Café to be exact and was reminded how hungry she was.
"I got to kill some time anyway." She said to herself as she parked her car out front of the café. The bell over the door rang as she walked in.
"I'll be right with you!" A woman called from the back.
"Okay, no hurries." The blonde girl yelled back taking a seat at the counter.
"Can I help you?" The short brown haired lady said as she tied an apron around her waist.
"What do you recommend?" The girl asked over the menu.
"Well everything's pretty good here. Can't say I dislike one thing." Karen said with a sweet smile.
"That helps me out. I love food to the extreme, especially now." The girl smiled still trying to decide.
"I must the chocolate cake's to die for." Karen whispered not wanting the empty café to hear her.
"Then a chocolate cake it is." She closed the menu and set it on the counter.
"Good choice." Karen smiled, "So are you just passing through Tree Hill?"
"Not if I'm lucky." Madison said taking a forkful of the cake. The woman was right; the cake was to die for, "I'm hoping to stay with my aunt but she's not home yet so I'm just hanging around."
"That's nice. I was born and raised here." Karen wiped down the counter.
"I'm a small town girl myself." Madison was finishing up her piece of cake when the bell over the door jingled again.
"Hey mom." Lucas said plopping down on a stool a couple away from the young stranger.
"Hey honey what's up?" Karen said sweetly handing him a muffin.
"I'm going down to the river court to meet with the guys. I probably won't be back 'til late." Lucas sat peeling the wrapper off the muffin.
"Okay, well then see you later." Karen said patting her son's arm.
"Just going to get a ball from the roof. I'll be right back." Lucas disappeared behind the counter.
"By the way I'm Karen." Karen held her hand out to the stranger that would be a new resident in Tree Hill.
"I'm Madison." Madison took Karen's hand willing, being the only person she had met here in Tree Hill so far.
"So you said you had to kill some time right?" Karen asked listening as Lucas ran down.
"Yeah but I was just going to explore and all – "Madison started but Karen cut her off as Lucas emerged bouncing a basketball.
"Hey Luke, this is Madison. She's new in town and needs to kill some time. Why don't you take her down to the court with you and introduce her to everyone down there?" Karen gave him a look like you-better-be-nice-to-her-or-else.
"I was really just going to explore the town and all." Madison didn't want to impose on anyone, she just wanted to find her aunt and make sure she had a place to stay.
"No, come with me. Everyone hangs out at the river court. We don't bite." Lucas said with a smile. A smile that was vaguely familiar to Madison.
"And if you don't get in touch with your aunt tonight just come home with Lucas and you can stay until you get in contact with her." Karen said cleaning up Madison's plate.
"That's really sweet but I'm sure I'll find her tonight." Madison got up and followed Lucas out the door and down the street.
"so Madison right?" She nodded, "Where are you from?"
"Everwood Colorado." Just thinking of the place made her think of him and all that she was running from.
"That's a far way away." Lucas said dribbling the basketball down the sidewalk.
"Yeah it is. It's a lot different from here too." Madison said thinking back to the cold weather and the snow and all the other good things about Everwood.
"So are you going to Tree Hill High?" Lucas asked turning the corner.
"No, I'm out of high school already. Are you in high school?" Madison couldn't believe that this boy, Lucas, was still in high school. Why did she always seem to attract the younger men.
"Yeah I'm a junior." Lucas said sheepishly. Madison really didn't look like she was out of high school already. Lucas estimated about seventeen or eighteen, "Here we are. The good ole river court."
At the moment there was no one on the court so Lucas began dribbling around by himself.
"You play?" Lucas said passing the ball to Madison.
"A little bit." Madison dribbled, shot and scored.
"Not bad." Lucas raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How about a little one on one until everyone else show's up?"
"You're on." Madison said slyly dribbling past Lucas and scoring, "You're slacking."
"I'm just warming up." Lucas took the ball and dribbled past Madison, being fancy, trying to show off. He then shot and missed.
"Show off." A guy's voice shouted behind the two.
"Yeah but I always win." Lucas already knew it was Nathan. He was the only one who poked at him with his comments.
"Uhhuh." Nathan focused on Madison, "Lucas you got to slow down with all the girls. You're bound to lose track."
"Actually Nate, I'm just showing her around. She's new around here." Lucas sneered towards Nathan.
"Showing her around huh?" Nathan stepped closer as Lucas chest passed the ball to him.
"Short stuff?" Madison squinted her eyes trying to visualize what Nathan looked like at least four years earlier.
"Maddy?" Nathan recognized her immediately after she turned around, "What are you doing here?"
"Hopefully finding a place to live." Madison said hugging Nathan tightly.
"Whoa wait, you too know each other?" Lucas didn't really understand what was going on.
"We're cousins." Madison laughed. It really was a small world after all.
"So Deb's your aunt?" Lucas was putting two and two together.
"Thank you Captain Obvious." Nathan said sarcastically.
"Alright Nate I'm done talking. Let's play." Madison stepped away and watched as they battled it out not knowing the connection between the two boys.
What'd y'all think? Let me know!
