The Pros And Cons Of Breathing
Chapter Seven
Dedicated once again to Leah (Brain) YOU SOOOO OWE ME!


They all finished their dinner, Brooke and Nathan laughing at Haley eating her steak with her hands as if they were chicken fingers. The teenagers took a seat on the couch.

"OH! Haley! I have a BEYOND brilliant IDEA!" Brooke exclaimed loudly. Nathan took a look at Haley's face and watched as it didn't change at all. She gave a flat look and shrugged, as if saying 'Your point?'. "My point, is that you'll love it!"

"Well, Now Brooke, Is it something that iwill REALLY like? Meaning, It's something YOU'LL like, Or is it something I'll REALLY REALLY like, meaning, I will like it?" She asked deadpanned. Nathan laughed, she was good.

"Ha-ha, Not funny Hales." She replied.

"I thought it was." She smirked back, Brooke rolled her eyes.

"Whatever, anyway, wouldn't it be SO cool, if WE went and got a total makeover! 'We' meaning, 'You'. But I mean, whatever." She laughed, at the sight of Haley shaking her head, Brooke continued. "No Hales, Not aTOTAL make over, Just... your hair, you should get it cut and dyed!" She told her softly.

"Whats wrong with my hair? I like it! It's natural, I don't want it dyed, And I dont want it cut!" She told her firmly. Haley was one of those, 'born with it, keep it' kind of girls.

"C'mon Haley! PLEASE! If you don't like it, I will cut my hair!" She begged, Haley raised an eyebrow.

"Will you really?" She smirked, Brooke scoffed.

"Yes I will, now c'mon, If we're gonna go, we have to go now! I know one place down the street that's open 'til 10. They're great. Please?" She begged. Haley groaned.

"Well... Do I have to dye it?" She asked, begging for a no.

"Oh, of course not." She smirked. Haley rolled her eyes and stood up.

"You guy's are really gonna go do that now?" Nathan asked. "Besides, Theres nothing wrong with her, why would she need a makeover?" He asked confused, giving a smile at Haley. Brooke rolled her eyes.

"Because, I want the whole school to know we've got a Hot-Hot-Hottie on our hands! Not just 'Oh, theres the new girl, how average!" Brooke complained. "Besides, why do you care huh?" Nathan shook his head.

"Nevermind, I'm going to bed, I'll catch you two later." He told them, realizing he wasn't going to get anywhere with them. Brooke nodded.

"Lets go, Grab your purse Haley, I'll be outside waiting." She told her, walking out the door. Nathan smiled at her.

"Getting your hair done huh? That sucks. I bet you'll still look beautiful though." He smiled giving her a quickkiss. She blushed.

"Aha, Yeah." She laughed, grabbing her purse. "I'll see you tomorrow then?" She smiled, he nodded.

"Yeah, we'll be taking the bus, because, Brooke likes taking the bus, to see everyone before we're at school, and my car's in the shop, and she's my ride, so I'm going on the bus too." He laughed, Haley shook her head. "I'll catch you then." Haley nodded. "Later." He told her, giving her a kiss and slapping her ass, leaving her shocked as he went upstairs.


"BROOKE! BLONDE! YOU TOLD HER TO MAKE ME BLONDE! YOU SAID IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO MY NATURAL COLOR! BLONDE IS NOT CLOSE TO MY COLOR!" She shrieked, looking in the mirror. Running her fingers through it. (It looks like it does now in season three)

"But Hales! It looks so HOT! Guy's are gonna be KNOCKING DOWN YOUR DOOR!" She told her, in awe of how beautiful her hair was, and also confused of why she didn't like it. Haley groaned.

"Do you not get it Brooke? I don't give a shit what the guy's think about me! You should know that!" She muttered. Brooke's face flashed a hurt look. "Sorry Brooke, I'm sorry. It really... It has potential." She smirked. Brooke laughed a little. "I'm sorry, I guess... It's not that bad..." She mumbled, looking at it more. "I actually, kinda like it." She smiled, Brooke grinned.

"Yay! That's my girl! Wait til Peyton see's you!" She smiled.

"Oh yes!" She laughed.
