The next day Nathan was down at the river court when Haley showed up. Nathan asked, "What are you doing here?"

Haley answered, "Just came to shoot some hoops."

Nathan questioned, "Without a ball?" Haley stood there sheepishly "Lucas is on his way down here, so unless you want your basketball skills out I suggest you leave. Or are you going to say Talon taught you how to play?"

Haley responded, "No I wouldn't say that listen I'm sorry Nathan."

Nathan saw Lucas pulling up Nathan stated, "You better figure out what to tell him if you decide to play because I couldn't of taught you; we only saw each other in passing remember. I don't care if you're sorry because I'm over it."

Lucas and Brooke got out of Lucas' truck Brooke questioned, "Why is Haley with Nathan?"

Just then Skills, Fergie, Mouth, Jake and Peyton walked up Lucas said, "Hey Nate, hey Hales."

Brooke spoke, "Tutor girl you can sit with Peyton and I we're the cheering section."

Lucas stated, "Let's shoot for teams."

Jake responded, "We're uneven."

Haley replied, "No we're not."

Brooke remarked, "Now tutor girl you're supposed t o be the smart one, but I even know that they're tow on three."

Haley smirked, "Actually it is three on three."

Nathan slightly smiled and Lucas puzzled, "Who…well rather where is our other third?"

Haley answered, "You're looking at her I want to play with you guys." Everyone except Nathan started busting up laughing.

Haley's face remained serious Lucas responded, "Oh you are serious."

Nathan stated, "Skills and I will take her."

Haley smiled at Nathan who returned the smile Lucas replied, "Alright let's do this then."

The game started Haley whispered, "I want Lucas." Nathan nodded yes Lucas got the ball and Haley stole it right from underneath him, and then she alley up to Nathan who slam dunk it.

Lucas puzzled, "Did that just happen?"

It was already down to last point for the game Nathan passed to Haley who was at half court. Haley shot it and it went in nothing but net. Brooke and Peyton yelled, "Way to go Haley!"

Skills questioned, "Who taught you to play ball like that?"

Haley answered, "A really good friend" Nathan was sort of surprised by her answer.

Nathan went home not to long after the game ended. Cooper asked, "So how was the game? Who won?"

Nathan replied, "My team won Haley played ball with us." Cooper looked surprised Nathan smirked "She kicked Lucas' butt out there on the court."

Cooper puzzled, "What is going on with the whole Haley thing?"

Nathan responded, "I really don't know."

Cooper questioned, "Where's your head Nate?"

Nathan stated, "God I wish I knew. I have been having feelings for Brooke again and thinking that I was wrong not to fight for her. Than yesterday through me for a loop Haley and Talon I didn't see that one coming. I mean we haven't even been a part that long."

Cooper said, "Okay first off I think you're jealous of Haley and Talon, and I know you and Brooke are a perfect match."

Nathan spoke, "Except now she is with Lucas."

Cooper smirked, "That could be fixed you know."

Nathan asked, "Are you telling me to steal my brother's girlfriend?"

Cooper remarked, "No I'm telling you to win back your soul mate. Let Brooke make the move towards you first and than all is fair in love and war."

Nathan replied, "She already made the first move once, but I turned her down."

Cooper responded, "You gotta get her to make the move again, and this time don't turn her away."

Nathan puzzled, "And how am I supposed to do that?"

Cooper answered, "Listen Nephew I like your new attitude; I like that you don't act like Dan anymore and you want to get to know your brother. But sometimes you need to revert back to your old tricks to get what you want."

Nathan looked long and hard at Cooper trying to figure out what his next move was going to be.
