Tree Hill the way it should have been

Couples: Brooke/Nathan, Peyton/Lucas, Haley/Lucas

A/N; THIS IS IMPORTANT! What ever isn't in my story that happened on the show still happened the exact same. There was no point in me rewriting the stuff that I wanted to stay the same. Thank you.

Everyone was in the gym. Dan Scott walked up to his son.

"Nathan, remember 20 shots- no less."

"Got it dad."

"Quit yakking and Warm up." Coach Durham said giving Dan a dirty look. Brooke came bouncing up to him.

"Don't let him get to you Nate just do your best." She leaned up to kiss him but he pulled away.

"What, you don't think I can make 20 Shots?" he asked slightly offended.

"First, that's not even what I said and second Why don't you call me when your done being Dan Jr." Brooke walked off. Nathan tried to grab her arm but she shrugged him off. He rolled his eyes. He had to concentrate on the game. It was his ass on the line. So he started to warm up.

At the game

Cheers and applause could be heard across the entire school.

"Basket by Nathan Scott! He looks really sharp out there tonight. And now a steal by the ravens. They'll go on the offensive. Coach Whitey Durham urges them on. Tim Smith- he's got Scot! And he hammers it home! He's already got 14 of the ravens 17 points tonight. Turn around Jumper!" yelled an announcer into his microphone.

"Nathan Scott! We haven't seen talent like this since his father, Dan, played for Whitey. Here's Scott again – another one! It's all Nathan Scott! "The announcer yelled again as Nathan made another basket.

Nathan looked over at the cheerleaders where Brooke was supposed to be, but found she wasn't there. For a second he was worried. But then he saw Brooke and Peyton walk in through the doors water bottles in hand. She looked at him and he gave her an apologetic smile and she returned it full watt.

"You guys are stinking up the place!" yelled Whitey. "Time –Out! Time-Out! Get in here! Ravens! Come on, Hustle, Hustle, Hustle! Just what in the hell is going on out there?"

"Whitey relax we're up by 9." said Nathan.

"Tim… go in for Nathan. Alright, let's get out there and act like we've played the game before." Whitey gave Nathan a glare.

"Ravens on 3. 1,2,3 Ravens! Ravens! Ravens! Go!" yelled another team member. The team ran off to play.

"What have I told you about that? I don't care if we're up by 5 or 50. I'm still the coach. It's still my team." said Whitey.

"Whatever you need to believe." Said Nathan as he sat on the bench.

Nathan, the team, and the cheerleaders are on a school bus, Nathan's driving.

"Dude, tell me we didn't just steal a school bus, cause it feels like we just stole a school bus." Said Tim.

"We just borrowed it alright." Said Nathan with a smile.

"So, where's Peyton?" Tim asked looking around and not seeing her.

"Why do you wanna know Smith?" asked Brooke as she came up to the two.

"I was gonna ask her out."

"She's not your type Dim. She's not a bimbo." Brooke responded as she grabbed Nathan's face and kissed him. The two were to busy to hear the train whistles blowing.

"Look out!" yelled Tim

Brooke looked up and screamed, as did most of the girls as Nathan hit the brakes. The tires screeching. Nathan put his arm in front of Brooke so she wouldn't fly forward. Tim grabbed her arm. The bus stopped and the train passes. Once it's gone, they all hear police sirens. They look in front of them. A police car is sitting there. Theresa grabbed someone's coat and threw it over the keg in the back.

"Shit." Mumbled Brooke.

Next Day at the police Station

The whole team and Cheer squad are at the police station with their parents.

"Some of your parents see this latest incident as tomfoolery, a little prank. Personally, I see a little breaking and entering. Chief Wayman sees possession and consumption by minors and a smidgen of grand theft auto. That said, I think it's time we send a message. The following people were not involved and will not be reprimanded, Jake Jagielski, Ruben Gutierrez, Tim Smith, Peyton Sawyer, Nathan Scott and Brooke Davis. As for the rest of you, you are all suspended from extra curricular activities, specifically Cheering and Basketball, for the rest of the season." Said an officer.

"Great so I need a new squad." Brooke said to Peyton.

"What about Bevin? And we can hold try outs for the rest of the squad." Peyton said trying to cheer her friend up.

"I guess. I have to go." Brooke went up to Nathan and kissed him. She then left.

Brooke drove past the river court.

"Brooke Davis. You seen her in that uniform?" asked Junk with a whistle. Everyone laughed.

"You know, I saw her the other day. She almost ran me over of course." Said Lucas throwing the ball up and catching it.

"Yea, she pretty fine huh?" asked Skills.

"Ah shes alright." Said Lucas with a smile. Everyone laughed. " Let's just shoot for teams alright?"

"Wow. Julius Caesar." Said Lucas as he looked at the Book his best friend and his mother just gave him.

"There's a tide in the affairs of man- or something like that." Said Karen Lucas' mom.

"Nice. Thank you guys . Thank you very much." Lucas said.

"Whatever if that's what your into." Said Haley giving Lucas a look to tell him she was kidding. Everyone who spent any amount of time together with the two knew they both had a thing for each other.

"What are you up to?" asked Nathan as he came into his girlfriends room and layed on her bed.

"Hey. I'm just working on my sketches." Brooke said not looking at Nathan. Everyone knew that Brooke did sketches for clothing. She had book after book filled with the sketches. "Where were you tonight?" she asked

"The guys wanted to tip a few. Since when do you care?" he asked.

"Since we had plans tonight." She said still not looking at him.

"That's why I came by. You wanna come?"

"With the guys?"

"And me."

"And the guys." Brooke finally looked up from her work.

"Look. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. It's just a lot of these guys got suspended, so it's like this stupid bonding thing. I wish it was just the two of us, but I was hoping you'd come anyways, make it a lot more bearable, ok?" he asked using his baby face.

"Can I invited the girls?" she asked

"Of course." He got up and sat in front of her on her desk. He then leaned forward and kissed her nose.

The next day Whitey enters a classroom where Nathan, Brooke, Peyton, Lucas, Haley and Tim and Vegas are.

"Scott" was the only thing he said. The seven all look at him.

"What's up coach?" asked Nathan.

"Not you. You" he said pointing at Lucas. "You" he pointed at Nathan" read a book or something."

Haley giggled slightly before stopping herself. Everyone but Peyton gave Haley a dirty look. Peyton thought it was funny.

"Watch this." Brooke said getting up from the table and walking up to Haley taking her drink with her. When she got close, she pretended to trip and spilled a little or actually about half of her drink on Haley.

"OMG! Harley I'm so sorry. God! I'm such a klutz! I'm sorry. Hey "she sat across from Haley." You would be a great cheerleader. Anyone ever tell you that? I'm looking for people and you don't even have to try out cause I know you would be great. Call it my way of making that up to you." She said pointing at the spot on Haley's shirt." I'll give a uniform tomorrow. We're gonna have so much fun! I can't wait!" she then walked away before Haley could respond. Brooke knew Haley was too nice to tell her no once she had already got the uniform.

Brooke walked back to her table, smirking the whole way.

"Brooke that was the shiz-nit." Said Tim.

"Tim just say that was cool." Said Nathan. Nathan rolled his eyes at Tim.

"That was mean Brooke." Peyton scolded her best Friend.

"Well it took care of my problem."

"What Problem?" asked Peyton.

"I just filled the last position on my squad." Said Brooke Smiling. "Besides Lucas will love her in the uniform which will help the process."

"What process?" asked Vegas.

"Those two are so into each other it's nauseating. Brooke noticed Peyton's look of jealousy and reminded herself to talk to Peyt about it later.

Nathan is talking to his friends.

"So, you pops finally mentioned the devil spawn huh?" asked Tim

"They say he's got game." Said Vegas.

"Maybe we could use him." Said Tim.

"Please, I can get us to the state championships with three blind guys and a cripple. Which is practically what I got with you and what's left." said Nathan

"So where are we going?" asked Tim

"Let's go to the park."

Lucas shot the ball.

"Nice shot. Think you can hit that against a double team, down by 2, packed house telling you, you suck? How about 3 people telling you, you suck?" said Nathan as he approached Lucas.

"What do you want?" Lucas asked

"What do you want man? I mean other than my girlfriend and my spot in the lineup?"

Brooke and Peyton were walking around town talking.

"So earlier I said Lucas and that girl liked each other, you had a visit from the green eyed monster. Do you like him?" Brooke asked her Best friend.

"What?" Peyton asked shocked her bf noticed that.

"Well it's either that or you have a thing fro Harley." Brooke Said

"Haley."

"Whatever." Brooke said with a wave of her hand. "You do don't you."

"Would that be so bad?"

"Of course not. I just want you to be happy P. Sawyer." The two hugged. Then looked over at the river court. They saw Nathan, Tim, and Vegas all standing near Lucas.

"Crap." They said at the same time. They started walking towards the group quickening their paces.

"Hey guys what's up?" asked Peyton

"Just telling Lucas here his place." Said Vegas

Brooke rolled her eyes and walked up to Nathan hugging him. He kissed her forehead and continued his speech.

"None of us want you on the team man. I don't want you. The guys don't want you. My girlfriend sure as hell doesn't want you. But here's the deal. You and me one on one. You can name the time and place. If you win, I'll quit the team. If I win, you crawl back in your little hole and remember your place in all of this. "Nathan walks off and as he does he grabs Brooke's hand. She goes with him, sending Lucas an apologetic look over her shoulder. He returns it. Peyton and the guys follow.

Peyton walks into her room and sees Brooke lying on her bed.

"Where have you been?" Brooke asked. "And why did Lucas Scott just drop you off?"

"My car broke down. And Lucas works with Keith at the shop and he gave me a ride home. I tried to call you but you didn't answer." Peyton said slightly annoyed.

"Sorry. Me and Bevin were trying to figure out what to wear for tonight." Brooke said.

"It's fine. I got to spend time with Luke." Peyton had a huge grin on her face.

"I'm so happy for you P. Sawyer."

Nathan comes out of the bathroom in only a towel. Dan walks into the hall and sees Nathan has a pierced nipple.

"What's up dad?"

"If I wanted a daughter I'd adopt one."

"So you could abandon her too?" Off Dan's look he adds "Just a joke dad."

"Yeah this bet tonight- is that a joke too? Or would you really quit the team? You have everything to lose here and nothing to gain."

"Sometimes what you call everything I call nothing."

"I just think it's best if you don't do this Nathan. We'll find another way." Dan tried to reason.

"No. Dad, I do a lot of stuff for you. Almost everything. But I'm gonna do this for me." Brooke walks out of the bathroom in only a towel.

"Hi Mr. Scott." She noticed that Dan was staring at her leg and on the inside she gagged. She then left for Nathan's room as fast as possible. Nathan followed.

"So if you're not doing this for your dad, why are you doing it?" asked Peyton.

"You wouldn't get it." Answered Nathan.

Him, Brooke and Peyton were walking towards the front door of his house where they would meet Tim.

"I guess not."

"So, what if he really plays? Are you really that threatened?" asked Brooke

"I'm not threatened by anyone." He said. As he looked at her.

"Well, then why do it? To prove ok, so, what if he wins what does he get?" asked Peyton

"He gets you." Nathan answered.

"And it looks like Nathan Scott has arrived, driven by car right onto the court." Said Mouth.

Nathan, Brooke, Peyton, and Tim, got out of the car.

"Nathan! Nathan! Nathan!" yelled the crowd.

"By the way, I hope you don't mind. But I told a few people." Said Tim

Brooke kissed Nathan passionately then pulled away causing him to groan.

"For good luck." She told him. She winked at him then walked over to Peyton and the rest of the girls. They handed her pom-poms and the girls started cheering. It was too cold for their uniforms.

The game continued and Nathan slammed his elbow into Lucas' nose. Brooke and Peyton looked on worriedly.

"Luke for the win! It's good! Lucas Scott takes it 15-14 and there's bedlam, delirium, and felicity for all!" yelled Mouth

Brooke crawled into Nathan's window. He lends her a helping hand. She kisses him and pushes him on the bed.

The next day-

Lucas walks in the gym for practice. Once he does everyone stops playing. The cheerleaders stop cheering. Peyton walks over to Lucas and kisses him.

"Welcome to an unkindness." she whispers in his ear. She walked back to the cheerleaders. Everyone was shocked at seeing the two kiss. Except Brooke. Lucas looked at Brooke and she smirked then winked at him.

Flashback- After the Game-

"Congrats." Lucas turned and saw Peyton.

"Thanks. I thought you left with Brooke and her boy toy." He said.

"I did but, I came back to do something."

"What?" he turned to look at her and she kissed him. He dropped the ball and wrapped his arms around her.

Please review! This took me forever and I worked really hard. Please!
