When Nathan and Lucas' plane landed in Tree Hill Lucas said, "Thanks Nathan that was a great getaway."

Nathan spoke, "You're welcome big brother I knew you would enjoy it."

As soon as the boys got off the plane Brooke squealed, "Lucas welcome home."

Brooke ran into Lucas' arms, and he picked her up and kissed her. Lucas remarked, "Now this is what I call a great welcome home present."

Nathan coughed Lucas and Brooke separated. Brooke stated, "Hey Scott nice to see you brought my boyfriend home in one piece. Meet anyone special?"

Nathan remarked, "Well I didn't, but you almost had some competition Brooke."

Brooke questioned, "What is he talking about?" Brooke crossed her arms and tapped her foot.

Lucas mumbled, "Nothing."

Nathan started laughing and smirked, "You really have nothing to worry about Brooke."

Lucas remarked, "It was a guy alright! I got hit on by a guy!" Brooke started laughing as hard as Nathan was. Lucas threw them both a look and they tried to stop laughing really they did.

Brooke drove the boys to Nathan's place Cooper said, "Good to see you two didn't kill each other."

Nathan spoke, "No killing each other actually we became a pretty good team."

Lucas replied, "Yeah you better watch out for when the Scott brothers get teamed up together."

Cooper asked, "So when does school start?"

Lucas answered, "Not for another three weeks."

Cooper puzzled, "So are you sticking around here? Or you plan on taking another trip?"

Nathan responded, "No we are sticking around here for the rest of the summer."

Cooper questioned, "When do you get a job?"

Nathan puzzled, "A job?"

Cooper answered, "Yeah nephew manual labor I'm not your daddy I am not just going to hand you money."

Lucas replied, "Well my mom is hiring."

Nathan was thinking a job he had never worked in his life. He was used to getting things handed to him, but he was emancipated now. I guess he should start acting like it. Nathan walked into Karen's Café Karen said, "Hi Nathan."

Nathan spoke, "Hi Ms. Roe."

Karen asked, "It's Karen, so what can I do for you Nathan?"

Nathan answered, "I was wondering if you would allow me to apply."

Karen questioned, "To work here?"

Nathan shyly nodded and replied, "Yeah if it's too weird."

Karen responded, "No Nathan it's not too weird, and you needed apply."

Nathan stated, "Yeah I figured given my rep and who my father is; you wouldn't want me to work for you" Nathan turned to leave.

Karen said, "No Nathan that is not what I mean. You don't need to apply because two reliable references already sold you to me."

Brooke and Lucas came out of the kitchen Nathan remarked, "I should have known."

Karen asked, "When can you start?"

Nathan puzzled, "When do you need me?"

Karen looked at Lucas who smiled. Karen asked, "How about now?"

Nathan smiled and answered, "Great let's get me to work."
