After school Brooke and Lucas decide to go back to the apartment, while Nathan and Haley go to the river court.

Nathan and Haley get to the river court. Nathan has a ball in one hand and is holding Haley's hand with his other.

Haley: Ok Nate, what are we doing out here any way? You know I suck at basketball.

Nathan: Yeah, but I like teaching you to play, besides if I help you with basketball then you can start tutoring me again.

Haley: Is that so? You sure this isn't just an excuse so you don't fail math?

Nathan: No, it's an excuse for me to get to put my hands on your waist. (Nathan grins at Haley and then adds quickly, ) to help you learn how to play basketball better of course.

Haley: (Grins and rolls her eyes at Nathan.) Uh-huh, sure. (Then in a more seductive tone.) You know, if you wanted to put your hand on my waist you could just do it, you don't need a lame excuse to do it.

Nathan: Yeah, but I just feel so much cooler if I do have a excuse to.

Haley: (Raises and eyebrow.) Oh do you? Well let me let you in on a little secret. You're not cool.

Nathan: Oh really.

Nathan puts the ball in both hand and shots. The ball swishes through the hoop.

Nathan: Not cool, eh?

Haley: Well, maybe just a little cool.

Nathan: And what would make me cooler pray tell?

Haley: (Innocently, with a puppy dog pout.) Kissing me.

Nathan: Oh really?

Nathan drops the basketball and walks closer to Haley. He comes up really close and puts his hand on her waist. Haley smiles and nods a little. Nathan leans his face in really close to Haley's so that she can feel his warm breath up ageist her face. Haley puts her arms around Nathan's neck and closes in the two centimeters of space between her and Nathan's mouths. Their lips crash together, but only soft and tenderly and just for a moment. When their lips part Nathan still holds Haley close with his hands on her waist and Haley still had her arms around his neck. They gaze into each others eyes.

Nathan: So, am I cool now?

Haley: Very. ( Haley removes her arms from Nathan's neck.)

Nathan: good. Now lets play basketball.

Haley: Um, Nathan, that would require you taking your hands off my hips. (Laughs a little.)

Nathan: Oh, um, yeah, sorry. (Nathan takes his hand off Haley's waist.)

Haley: Don't worry, you get to put them back on when you help me make a shot in that hoop.

Nathan: (Grinning.) Ok, lets get to it.

MEAN WHILE back at the apartment.

Lucas is sitting on the couch and Brooke is sitting on his lap. Her face is turned in and they are making out heavily. Suddenly there is a knock at the door. Brooke groans and gets off of Lucas.

Brooke: It must be Haley. I'll go let her in.

Lucas: Ok.

Brooke goes over and opens the door. To her surprise it's not Haley, but instead it's two tall brunette girls. Lucas leans over and sees who's at the door. Lucas makes a puzzled face.

Lucas: Taylor, Quinn, what are you guys doing here?

Taylor: We're here to see baby sis. Please tell me you're not living with her now.

Lucas: Um, no I'm not. Brooke is. (Lucas points over at Brooke, who is standing over by the door looking totally confused.)

Taylor: Oh, hey Brooke. I'm Taylor and this is Quinn, we're Haley's older sisters, well two of them at least.

Brooke: Yeah, I got that. Um, Haley's not here right now, but you guys can wait here for her if you want. She should be home soon.

Quinn: Ok, where is she any ways?

Brooke: Out with Nathan.

Quinn and Taylor exchange glances and Brooke exchanges one with Lucas about Quinn and Taylor's glances. Lucas just shrugs.

Lucas: So Quinn, long time no see. What have you been up to?

Quinn: Well, I'm going to med. school during the year and in the summers I work at the basketball camp High Flyers.

Lucas now give Brooke a sort of puzzled look.

Brooke: Really? Haley's husband was just there this summer.

Taylor: Yeah, that's kind of what we're here about.

Brooke: Care on letting us know what's going on before Haley gets home?

Quinn: I think we should wait for Haley.

Taylor: Well, I think Brooke and Lucas can know first, then I'll be sure you're actually going to tell Haley, Quinn.

Lucas: (Skeptically.) Tell Haley what?

Quinn: (Takes a deep breath in.) Well, ...
