A/N- Thanks for the two reviews. I am sure you all are getting sick of my bitching so I'm not going to do it anymore. Thank you Kelsey for the review, I like to thank my reviewers but since yours was not signed I need to thank you here. I totally smiled when I read it. I loved the whole opening sequence of that episode, which is totally playing in my family room right now so I can listen to it while I type. Nathan is okay but he pulls something absolutely stupid, my friends Noah and Natasha, other two members of my group that inspires this one, I told them about the story so now they are helping. Okay when I began this author's note I've Got Dreams to Remember had just began and got occupied with reading fan fiction that it is now just before they win the basketball game. Nice eh? Okay, totally went and watched the end of it. I put on the one where Nathan gets into the car accident. I love that one! I don't Brooke's parents' names so I made them up.

Chasing Dreams

Chapter Eight

The Mistakes He'll Make

Brooke sat in a comfortable plane seat next to the window. It had been a week since her suspension, and now she was on her way to British Columbia, Canada to go skiing. Brooke and Lucas' trip was supposed to be taken away but the only way this trip would have been possible was with the large donations made towards the trip by Sheryl and Lawrence Davis and Dan and Deborah Scott. They were almost at the Calgary Airport, once in Calgary they had rented bus which they would take to Fernie Resort in British Columbia. They plane landed at about eleven in morning. They exited the plane and made their way to the baggage. The Calgary Airport was much different from their airport. Calgary was famous for its rodeo held in July and the airport showcased this. The workers wore red vests and the red cowboy hats and there were cows and horses everywhere. There were many other teens around, similar styles to the teens of Tree Hill, but slightly different, you could tell there were 'hick' towns around and they were in cowboy country.

"What's with the cowboy stuff?" Brooke asked, as she looked around wrinkling her nose.

"Calgary Stampede, it's a famous event if you rodeo," Haley explained.

"Oh," Brooke replied. She linked arms with Peyton and eventually there was a large chained formed with Haley, Alexis, Kady, and Kendra.

"Girls!" yelled Mrs. Kentwood, "quit misbehaving, and come along."

"Ugh, I'm so sick of this," Brooke exclaimed, Mrs. Kentwood was still on her case and the teachers hadn't let go of the idea of trying to keep everyone at their school.

"Brooke," Peyton said calmly, "just ignore her."

"Look!" exclaimed Kady pointing at a group of guys, "they are hot." Peyton was the first to shift her eyes towards the guys, who had noticed Kady's loud realization. They group of three guys approached them.

"Hey," the first guy said, he had blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes.

"Hey," replied Kady, "where are you all from?"

"Here," the second guy replied, he also had blonde hair but he had green eyes, "I'm Justin by the way. And that's Logan," pointing to the first guy, "and that is Nathan," pointing to the third guy he had dark hair and eyes.

"We have a friend named Nathan," Kendra said.

"Where is Nate?" Brooke asked looking around, Carter, Eric, Shawn, and Lucas were there but Nathan was missing, "Hmm, I wonder where he went."

"Aren't you guys going to tell us you names," asked Logan.

"Sorry," Peyton said. "Brooke, Kendra, Carter, Alexis, Kady, Eric, Haley, Shawn, and Lucas," she continued as she pointed to each person. "And I'm Peyton."

"I leave you alone for two seconds, and meet some random guys," Nathan joked as he rejoined the group. He looked at the guys and then draped his arms around Kady and Haley, "Trying to steal my girls?"

"No," Nathan finally spoke up, "we're sorry."

"I wasn't serious, Kady's my ex for one thing you can have her," Nathan said, receiving a punch from Kady.

"Oh, good," replied Nathan.

"So what are your names?" asked Nathan Scott.

"I'm Logan and this is Justin and Nathan."

"I'm Nathan too," Nathan replied.

"Grade eights, are you trying to give me a heart attack," yelled Mrs. Kentwood, "talking to strangers, my god."

"Coming," responded Kady, shooting the other boys a quick look and mouthed sorry. Kady lead the group to Mrs. Kentwood who then told them to board the bus and they would be on their way. Brooke and Peyton sat together and Nathan was sitting by himself behind them, both Peyton and Brooke feel asleep as they watched the mountains go by. They woke to the noise of flirtatious laughter behind them, they turned to see Tia and Nathan laughing there heads off.

"Nice choice, Nate," mumbled Peyton, "way to go for people that hate us."

"Looks like the bitches are up," Tia said noticing the pair of eyes looking evilly between the seats, "see you later, Nate."

"Nate!" Brooke quietly yelled when Tia was out of ear shot, "what the fuck is that?"

"Well, I kind of like Tia," Nathan said quietly waiting to be hit.

"What?" Peyton yelled for everyone to hear. "What happened to liking Haley?" Peyton asked quietly, "I thought you liked her."

"Huh, I never said I liked Haley," Nathan replied confused, "me and Hales are just friends."

"Doesn't seem like it," Brooke giggled.

"Brooke, if Haley and I are flirting," Nathan smiled, "you and Lucas are flirting too."

"Okay you win," Brooke said letting Nathan know he hit a nerve, "but why Tia?"

"She's ha…" Nathan began.

"Don't give us that she's hot and I'm a guy line," Peyton interrupted.

"I don't know what to say then," Nathan said raising his eyebrows.

"Ew," Brooke said, grabbing Peyton and moving up next to Kady and Kendra. Brooke and Peyton quickly explained what Nathan had just told them.

"Ew," Kady responded.

"Everyone, we will be arriving in ten minutes, so start gathering your stuff," Mr. Simpson spoke over the intercom. Noise was heard throughout the bus and by the time they arrived they had all of their stuff gathered. "Same groups as the hike," Mr. Simpson said, "I'll give you all a sheet with everyone's room number." Peyton exited the bus and lost Brooke along the way, but she had a sheet and she, Brooke, Alexis, Randi, Kady, and Haley were staying on the third floor in room 396. Peyton got in the elevator and hit the third button and went to the room. When she entered the room, it was amazing, the furnishing was all wooden and looked like it should be in a cabin, there were two bedrooms, one with two twin beds and the other with two sets of bunk beds, and she quickly claimed the two twins for her and Brooke.

"Whose here?" asked Kady as she and Alexis entered the room.

"Peyton!" yelled Peyton from the bedroom.

"Oh, where are we sleeping?" Alexis asked going into the room that Peyton was in.

"There are bunk beds in the other room," Peyton explained, "Brooke and I claim this room."

"Okay," Alexis replied.

"Really Lexie, you going to let me win just like that?"

"I don't care," Alexis replied.

"Cool."

"Peyt," Brooke whined entering the room with Haley and Randi in tow, "why did you ditch me."

"I got us the best room," Peyton replied simply.

"I love you, roommate!" Brooke said jumping on to her best friend.

"Thought you might say that," Peyton laughed.

The girls continued to investigate rest of the room, Brooke reached for a door handle and opened the door at the same time Lucas was opening the door behind that door, revealing that they had adjoining rooms. "Luke," Brooke said jumping and hugging him, "this place is awesome."

"Calm down Brooke," Lucas said setting Brooke down.

"Guys," Brooke screamed, "we have adjoining rooms with the guys, our guys, will some of them."

"Which guys," replied Alexis from the bathroom, "Nathan, Lucas, Carter, and that loner guy."

"Mike," Peyton said coming and looking into the room. "Mrs. Kentwood hates you two, and she puts us all in adjoining rooms," Peyton said shaking her head, "that makes sense."

"This is so different than last time," Nathan said walking into the girls' room, "last time on your trip half of us hated each other."

"And now we don't," squealed Brooke.

"Girls," Mrs. Anderson said from the other side of the door, "are there boys in there?"

"Get in here," whispered Haley, pulling Lucas, Carter, and Nathan into the room and closed the door, "we don't want them to realize the adjoining rooms."

"Yes," replied Haley.

"Let me in," asked Mrs. Anderson. Haley walked over and opened the door as the girls and guys sat down in various positions. Mrs. Anderson walked around checking things out, "now girls they guys have to be out of here by seven, which is in a hour, and there can never be only one guy and one girl in here."

"Okay," replied Kady.

"Good," Mrs. Anderson, "we all understands each other."

"We aren't the ones you should be worried about though," Randi said coming in from the bunk bed room, "Tia and Serena are the sluts."

"Okay, Randi," Mrs. Anderson said, "I'll take that into account."

"Good," Randi replied leaving the room again. They all hung out until a little past nine, and then went to there own rooms, leaving the adjoining door open. At ten, Mrs. Kentwood came and made sure everyone was in bed and they all were, they may like to talk a lot but wanted to be full of energy for the morning.

The next morning came quickly. They all decided to go out together even though they used different styles, Nathan, Carter, Brooke, Alexis, Kady, and Lucas all snowboarded, and Peyton, Haley, Eric, Kendra, and Shawn all skied. They all skied the easy stuff in the morning and then went to the lodge for lunch at one and Tia and Serena were also there, Nathan left with them to go and board some harder stuff.

"Why is he liking Tia," Haley whined, "I thought we had something almost going on."

"So did everyone else," Peyton said.

"He gave us the, I'm a guy and she's hot line," Brooke rolled her eyes.

"Well, if he gave that line, he doesn't actually like her he just want something," Shawn explained, "if that's any better."

"Not really," Haley half smiled "thanks for trying."

"Okay, mid off stupid Nate head," Kady said, "let's go back out."

"Okay," Eric said getting up from the table and putting his jacket on; everyone else followed his lead. They went out on the hill until about four when the lifts closed.

"Let's go check out the village," Peyton said. They all were just sitting there watching hockey, "This is boring."

"Good idea," Brooke said coming from the bathroom where she had been straightening her hair and touching up her make-up, "we should find Nate and ask him to come."

"Okay, that's a good idea," Lucas said not moving his eyes from the TV.

"Someone, call him," demanded Brooke.

"I'll do it," Haley said grabbing her phone from the kitchen counter. After a minute she sat down her phone, "Brooke, I got voicemail."

"Let's look for him then," Brooke said as she walked into the living room and stood in front of the TV, "it will be fun."

"Brooke, move!" yelled the guys, "sorry, no." She bent down and hit the power button. They all finally removed their butts from the couch and but their jackets on. They searched everywhere; they went to everyone's rooms, the lobby, the village, and the restaurants, everywhere they couldn't find him. They returned to the room and the adjoining door was closed, so Carter went and opened it, the lights were on.

"Nathan?" Carter called, "are you here?"

"Yeah, but don't come in," yelled Nathan from one of the bedrooms.

"Who you with?" asked Carter nodding his head and raising his eyebrows.

"No one," Nathan called back.

"Yeah right," Carter said opening the door.

"Carter!" Sitting on the end of the bed together, her legs over his, they obviously had been making out, there was Serena.

"Hey Carter," Serena said.

"Serena!"

"Nathan!" yelled Peyton. Everyone had now joined Carter at the entrance of the room.

"Serena," Eric asked, "you do realize we are still dating, right?"

"Yup, do you think this is the first time, I have cheated on you," Serena said, "even though, making out is barely cheating." Serena got up and left the room without another word.

"Nathan, we thought Tia was bad and then you go and make out with Serena," Peyton yelled at him.

"Seriously, stop trying to control my life," Nathan responded.

"Stop doing stupid shit and we might," Brooke added.

"Whatever, I'm sorry it was stupid," Nathan said falling back onto his back.

"Whatever, I'll see you in the morning," Peyton said. They went and watched some more hockey games but the tension in the room was horrible and everyone went to bed early since they had to catch a plane in the morning. The next morning, everyone slept on the way to Calgary and by the time they boarded the plane, Peyton and Brooke were ready to talk to Nathan. Brooke took the outer and seat and let Peyton have the window seat, and Nathan sat in the middle.

"Nate, why?" asked Peyton.

"I don't know, she offered, I took."

"Okay, that somewhat makes sense," Brooke said, "but you and Haley have been so cute since before Christmas." Brooke stared Nathan down daring him to give her the Lucas speech again.

"I don't want to go out with anyone," Nathan said, "and Haley is obviously not a whore, so."

"Oh," Peyton said understanding.

"Yeah," Nathan said nodding his head, "so are we all good?"

"Yup," replied Peyton giving Nathan a quick hug.

"Me too," Brooke hugged Nathan, "talk to Haley."

"Okay, where is she sitting," asked Nathan.

"Back a few," Peyton pointed backwards.

"Okay," Nathan said getting up. Nathan found Haley sitting with Lucas and Mike. "Luke, can you go and sit with Brooke and Peyt for a bit?"

Lucas looked at Haley and she nodded, "Okay."

"They are up a few seats," Nathan said.

"Okay," Lucas said getting up, giving Haley a quick pat on the knee.

"Hales," Nathan began.

"Why?" Haley interrupted.

"Because I don't want to date anyone at the moment and yeah," Nathan said hoping that she would accept his answer.

"Okay," Haley said quietly, "so you do like me a little bit?"

"Slightly more than a little bit," Nathan said.

"Seriously, just not being mean?" asked Haley.

"Serious, but as I said before I don't want a girlfriend right now," Nathan said.

"I understand," Haley said, "but we still can hang out right?"

"Of course," he replied.

"Good," Haley said giving him a hug. Nathan Scott like her, she was unpopular, he was popular, his last girlfriends were Kady O'Grady and Alexis Mackenzie, the queens of their grade, and now he liked her. Haley just sat there and smiled.

A/N- So there you go another chapter, I loved writing this chapter. Okay I'm totally on the phone with Noah right now; he still can't explain exactly why he did that. They did more than make out though, it was nasty and they were in the bushes with the Tia inspired girl. We all were looking for them outside and it was like nine at night and none of our teachers knew they were gone. It was bad. The next chapter is going to be awesome. It's a birthday party for this one guy and Noah and Kady inspired got together again but its going be the same idea but another girl. I wonder?
