Karen sat at her kitchen table looking over expenses for Tric and for the café. She didn't think she'd be able to keep either open that long. It was getting to be too big of a burden for her to handle. Unless by some miracle she started generating higher revenue, it looked like both of her businesses would be shut done. Of course Andy offered to pay, but that was before he took of to only god knows where. She hasn't heard from him since. He hadn't been the first to break her heart, but this time it definitely hurt the most. Karen sat in a trance just thinking about everything when the ringing phone broke her daydream.

"Ms. Roe, we have the perfect solution to the financial problems the club has been having" an excited voice rang out over the line.

"Hello Brooke."

"Hi, so I've got this little country duo to come play at the club, this weekend and we don't have to pay them. Why? Because no one can resist the charm of Brooke Davis!"

"This could be good, just give me the cliff notes version of you idea and lets see what we can do with them."

"Good!"

After talking on the phone for quite a while, Karen finally agreed to this "little country duo", realizing that this band was going to make or break the future of the club. "Brooke I hope you know what you're doing…" Karen whispered silently to herself, locking the door of her house at the same time.

Another party at Nathan's apartment resulted in complete and utter destruction of his place. As him and Haley were cleaning up, or at least trying to, they somehow kept talking about their past.

"oh god remember that time in the field?" Haley said blushing profusely

"wow, my girlfriend said a sentence that was really specific and got right to the point" Nathan said airily throwing a cushion in her direction.

"shut up!"

----------------------------------------------

"Who wants to go streaking?" Brooke giggled, clapping her hands together in excitement.

Nathan, Haley, Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, Jake, Tim, and Bevin went away to Bevin's cottage in Tennessee. The excuse for going was a summer psychology class that Haley was taking, the real reason was to party day and night for an unforgettable summer away from North Carolina.

"Oh this is gonna be the shizzle!" Tim said running out the door after Brooke and Bevin.

"Does he ever talk like a normal person?" Lucas asked as they rest of group followed close behind.

"So here's the game, we all chug Code Red and whoever finishes last has to run across this field (points out beyond the porch) completely naked."

"Chug Code Red? Wow Brooke, I thought you of all people would've been, more…what's the word I'm looking for here…alcohol centered here." Jake replied seriously, then started laughing at the look on Brooke's face.

"Don't rub it in okay, they totally saw past my fake i.d. at the liquor store, so Code Red now, shots later."

They played Brooke's lame excuse of a game and the boys won by far. The girls however weren't having any of it and demanded that the boys are the ones that have to streak. It took a while to convince the boys but after 10 minutes they finally agreed to.

As Lucas, Nathan, Jake, and Tim all stripped down, Haley ran inside for the camera. They guys made a mad dash across the field right as red and blue lights flashed up the driveway of the cottage.

"Oh crap!" Nathan yelled running back for his clothes but all he found was Brooke standing behind the sliding glass door waving their clothes around and laughing hysterically.

----------------------------------------------

"Oh yea, that time at the field. You know, I still can't believe they took us in for public exposure. What a bunch of bull."

Jokingly Haley responded with, "yea, but you know, I'm sure you're cell mates were ecstatic when you showed up in prison with nothing but tighty whiteys on."

Nathan walked over to Haley wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "I'm not sure about my cell mates but I know you liked it." And then kissed her.

"nah, I think I like seeing Tim naked better."

"ouch, Hales, low blow."

"I know babe, but it's just easy"

They were too wrapped up in each other to hear the loud knocking at the front door. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity to the person on the other side, someone came and answered the door. It took Nathan a while to register the scene playing out in front of him. Rage, Anger, Fear, and most of all hate took over him as he slammed the door shut.

Haley flinched hearing the door slam shut. "What was that all about?"

"That Hales, was the past, coming back to bite me in the ass like always."
