Author's Note: Hey, everyone. Once again, thanks so much for the continuing reviews. Please, keep them coming.

"I can't believe you made us all come here."
Tim ended up joining Brooke, Luke, Haley and Nathan for dinner and he complained the whole time about the PDA being displayed. Brooke was so annoyed with him, that she promised that if Tim couldn't get a girl to sleep with him tonight, then she would. As unbelievable as it was, Luke was more than happy to donate his girlfriend. It was decided that instead of Brooke giving Haley her fifty bucks, she just had to pay for her dinner which was fine by her since the her dinner only turned out to be thirty- five dollars.
"What's wrong with here?" Brooke questioned as the bouncer gave them a quick glance, decided they were beautiful enough and moved aside. The two couples got through, but the bouncer blocked Tim's way.
"Hey, dude!"
"It's okay," Brooke told the guy, reaching out and touching his arm lightly. "I know he's a bit of a dork." Tim glared at her. "But he's with us." When the guy didn't look like he was going to move, she leaned into him further and smiled up at him sweetly. Haley and Nathan watched in amusement while Luke was fuming at the sight.
"Okay," he finally gave in. He moved aside to let Tim through. As Tim walked by him, he made sure to bump into him. The strength of the guy's huge shoulder connecting with Tim's shoulder caused Tim to fall right on his ass. Everyone around him erupted in laughter.
"You guys are all mean," he threw at them. He jumped up and stalked into the club, trying to block out the sounds of people laughing at him. Haley and Brooke were glaring at their boyfriends for laughing at him.
"Oh, come on, Hales," Nathan spoke out between his laughs. The serious look on her face just made him laugh even harder. "You can't honestly tell me that that wasn't the funniest thing you've ever seen."
"For once I actually agree with him," Luke commented.
"That's not very nice," Brooke scolded them. "You know he's trying to hook up with someone tonight. I'm sure that didn't help him any."
"Oh, yeah," Nathan said, starting to clam down. "And that hot pink nail polish that Haley put on him is going to do wonders for his evening of pimping."
"It makes him look sensitive," Haley defended, not wanting to feel guilty if Tim didn't get any girls tonight because of what she did.
"It makes him look gay," Nathan corrected her. The boys had stopped laughing and motioned for the girls to follow them into the club. As they entered all of them began looking around for a free table. Nathan spotted one in the corner. "Over there."
"Well, I bet that more girls will go up to him to ask him about it," Haley pointed out, reaching for Nathan's hand as he lead the way through the crowded dance floor. Brooke grabbed her other hand and then Luke took her's. They reached the table without losing anyone.
"It's Tim," Luke began, sliding into the round booth. The girls were both on the inside and the boys on the ends so no guys would try to hit on their women. "He was never going to get a girl in the first place. We all knew that."
"I don't know," Haley began. "I'm sure there's some girls out there that might find him cute."
"Yeah," Nathan agreed. "The deaf and blind ones." Luke stifled a laugh at the comment, knowing that his brother was about to get if from both girls. Both Brooke and Haley were throwing him death glares. "What?"
"He is your best friend, you know?" Haley reminded him, not believing that Nathan was being so mean to him. Tim was trying his best, it's just...well, he's Tim. He can't help it.
"So?"
"I would never say something like that to Hales," Brooke explained. "I could think something like that." Haley looked at her. "Which by the way I don't, but I could never say it out loud. That's just mean and harsh. And very un-best friend like."
"Honey," Luke interjected, hoping that he wouldn't regret it. "Guy best friends are different than girl best friends. I mean, I don't sit around braiding Jake's hair and whispering secrets to him."
"I'm a little relieved, I've gotta say," Haley teased.
"You think that's all we do?" Brooke asked. Luke closed his eyes and shook his head, he should have known better. Stupid. "Are you that sexist to think that we just have pillow fights all the time in our underwear?" Nathan smirked, glad that the heat was off of him. Haley got his smirk.
"Don't think you're off the hook, either," Haley warned him. "You're just lucky that their conversation has the potential to be quite entertaining." Nathan frowned. "I'll get back to you soon enough."
"That's not what I meant," Luke tried to explain. "I was just saying that..."
"So what do you think me and Hales do when we're having sleepovers?" she asked. Haley smiled, knowing that there was no right answer to that question. She also knew Luke well enough to know that he was going to joke his way out of this, and that was the last thing that he should do.
"I'm guessing that make-out is the wrong answer," Luke mumbled. Brooke narrowed her eyes at him.
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing."
"You might want to rethink that answer," Brooke suggested. Luke looked to Haley for help, but she just grinned at him, letting him know that she was just as interested to her his answer as Brooke was.
"Oh, give him a break," Nathan interrupted, getting sick of Brooke's overdramatic reaction. In fact he was getting sick of the whole conversation. So far all he's gotten was bitched at for everything he's said. "This is ridiculous. He's a guy; I'll be it, a very sissy guy, but a guy non-the less. He has the same fantasies as the rest of us do." Haley turned around to face him, looking at him accusingly.
"So, you think the same thing as Lucas about our girly sleepovers?"
"Hell yes," he answered, not afraid to say it. Luke shook his head, not believing that he just said that. Did he not know anything? He was certainly going to miss his little brother.
"Oh, really?"
"Yes," he confirmed, not backing down. He was getting pissed off already and they haven't even had any drinks yet. "I'll admit that when you say that you're having a sleepover with Brooke or Peyton, I picture you guys having a very fun time. And by fun, I mean hot lesbian sex."
"Hot lesbian sex?" Tim asked as he walked up to their table. He quickly began to spin around, frantically looking for the action. "Where, where?" Brooke and Luke laughed at him, but Haley and Nathan were too busy glaring at each other. After a moment, Nathan pulled his gaze away to greet his friend.
"So, how's it going so far?" he asked him. "How many guys have you picked up with that hot pink nail polish?" Tim glared at him before slipping into the booth beside Luke.
"I'll have you know," Tim began. "Three girls have already come up to me and asked me to dance." Luke patted him on the back in congratulations, trying to break the tension that had fallen over the table at Nathan's angry comments.
"Good, for you buddy."
"So, how come I didn't see you dancing?" Nathan asked. Haley watched him in surprise. She was used to Nathan teasing and making fun of Tim, hell they all did that, but his voice was bordering on the edge of nasty and she really didn't find it attractive at all. "What's wrong, noticed they had Adam's apples?"
"Dude..." Tim breathed, trying to figure out why Nathan was being so mean.
"Nathan," Haley warned. Nathan turned to look at her. "What's gotten into you?"
"I'm just sick of this idiot," he snapped, flinging his hand in Tim's direction. The others at the table dropped their eyes, getting uncomfortable at the argument they knew was coming. "He is always talking about getting laid." He turned to Tim. "Maybe if you stopped being a moron, you'd actually get a girl."
"Nathan, that's enough," Haley snapped, noticing the genuinely hurt look on Tim's face. Tim had gotten used to the teasing things that they would always say to him because he knew they were just that; teasing. Nathan was just being plan hurtful.
"God, what are you my mother?"
"Come on, man, just calm do..."
"Shut up, Luke, "Haley and Nathan both snapped at the same time. Luke immediately shut his mouth.
"All you've done since we got here is attack me every time I open my mouth."
"That's because everything you've had to say has been offending," Haley shot back. Nathan shook his head and started to get up. "Where are you going?"
"Away from you," he answered shortly, storming off and getting lost in the crowd. Just as he was leaving, Peyton and Jake approached.
"What was that about?" Peyton asked, taking the seat that Nathan just left, Jake getting in beside her. After she saw the sour look on Haley's face, she turned to Brooke for answers.
"They were just having their daily lover's spat," Brooke explained. Haley whipped around and glared at her. Brooke just laughed it off and threw an arm around her shoulders. "Aww, come on, Hales. This happens all the time. Nathan blows up over nothing and takes down whatever's in his way. This time, it just happened to be Tim."
"She's right," Luke agreed. "He'll take a walk, realize what an ass he was to you, come back and beg for your forgiveness." Haley looked at him, hopefully. "You'll be grinding on the dance floor by the end of the night."
"You think?"
There was a chorus of 'yeah' and 'of course' from everyone at the table. Nobody noticed that Peyton didn't say anything. She watched as a smile broke out on Haley's face and she started up a conversation with Brooke about makeup. She turned and spotted Nathan standing at the bar, talking to some girl. A really bad feeling washed over her. She knew that this time was going to be different. Tonight was the start of something that was going to change all of them. She looked around the table at all her friends and was afraid of what might happen to their friendships if...she stopped at Tim.
"Why are Tim's fingernails pink?"
OTH
All done for now. I know it wasn't that good, but I promise that it will get better. I have everything all planned out. Please reply to tell me what you think. Thanks.
