The boys showered, changed, walked out, and walked out on the court. Lucas walked over and hugged his mom, Keith, Deb, Haley, and finally Rory who had lost her voice cheering for him. Nathan did the same as Lucas stopping at Haley.
"Nate I have an idea." Lucas was looking up at Dan's jersey number with his points total on it.
"I'll get the ladder you get the spray paint." After a few minutes the two boys came back, Nathan had the ladder and Lucas had the paint. Nathan walked up the ladder while Lucas was holding it, painted over the jersey number thirty-three to twenty-three, and added on point to the score at the bottom. Dan was walking by when he saw his son's literally painting over his numbers. The boys put the ladder; paint away, walked back to their girlfriends, and hugged them.
"Now Mary are you ready for that date?" She smiled and hugged him and they walked out of the gym hand in hand.
"Where are we going?" Rory asked Lucas barley above a whisper because she lost her voice screaming during the game.
"Can you speak up Rory?" He said laughing, she smacked his arm and he put his arm around her. They arrived at the café and he unlocked the door and took her up on the roof. A blanket was right in the middle with a picnic basket and candles. Lucas light the candles as Rory sat down and than Lucas sat down beside her. He poured them some coffee, opened the basket, and pulled out two cheeseburgers and fries and they ate. After eating Rory was sitting in between Lucas's legs as they just talked.

"Really what did you base your decision on?"
"The school that has the hottest guys of course." Lucas looked at her and smiled.
"So Harvard right?" She laughed and he kissed her. "So why Duke?"
"Nathan I'm waiting for Haley to dump him so I can have him." Lucas started to tickle her and ended on top of her and stopped looking down on her he reached up and brushed a strand of hair out of her face and kissed her. Lucas ran his hand up her shirt and she stopped him. "Not here." Lucas kissed her one more time, stood up, helped her up, and packed the basket up.
"Do you want to go to my place and watch a movie?"
"Okay but I pick the movie out." Lucas smiled and they went to rent a movie.

"It's nice to finally meet you brother," Kevin didn't shake his hand and turned around and walked away. "Some brotherly advice from big brother to little brother get away from him as fast as you can."
