Author's Note: Here it is! The Halloween chapter extravaganza. hahaha...hope I don't disappoint. Ooh a new member to my review board. Hey Michelle! Hope you like things so far!

The car doors slammed shut followed by the swift click to lock the doors. It was getting out of there as fast as one could, as far away as possible. The engine choked for a couple of seconds but started up with a couple of jiggles from the key in the ignition. Soon the only thing left of the black jeep was the trail of dust the tires left.

They were still shaken up from the whole experience. None of them remembered a time they screamed so loud, and it wasn't one of those normal screams..oh no, more like blood curdling cries. It wasn't until they got at least a couple of miles from the haunted house that they realized what they had just endured.

After all that fear and screaming there was no room but to laugh their heads off, and that's what they did.

"That shit was fucking hilarious," Nathan still driving got out.

"Oh my gosh I know, and the thing is we cried like six year olds."

"Uhh you did not me."

Her eyes widened as she laughed.

"Whatever buddy you were more scared than I was."

"No I wasn't."

"Uh huh, what was this then," she began to mock him, "Jill don't let go, whatever you do don't let go of my hand, I mean it."

He scoffed.

"I was trying to protect you."

"Is that why I was the one pulling you to keep up?"

He narrowed his eyes causing her to playfully push his face lightly.

"Okay okay I was a little scared."

"A little?"

"Don't rub it in woman, okay I practically pissed my pants."

"That's better," she grinned.

"Don't tell anyone about that though."

"Your secret is safe with me. We don't want you to be known as the cry baby and not the macho ball player," she deepened her voice when saying 'macho ball player'.

"Thank you."

"Mhmm," she looked ahead eyeing the large billboard on her right side," Ooh Nathan drive in movies around the corner. They're showing The Bride of Frankenstein, let's watch it."

He nodded making an exit off the main dusty road. The fee was only two dollars per person. Jill was so excited, she had never been to a drive in. Old things like this appealed to her. Anything that had to do with history and old technology, she was all up for. Nathan went along with it, always finding he enjoyed them as well. Plus seeing the brightness in her face was priceless. More so today since she was sweating from all that running and screaming. It was heavenly.

"You two enjoy your date now," the ticket lady smiled as she handed them their tickets and lot number. She had noticed both of them were wearing matching gold wreath crowns.

Nathan was embarassed. Not sure how Jill would take this.

"Oh umm we're not..."

Jill interrupted him.

"Thanks we will," she smiled.

He nodded his head and smirked while the insides of him were doing jumping jacks. Pulling up his window he drove into the lot, trying to find their spot.

"We'll pretend that tonight is a date, what do you say Mr. Scott?"

"Sounds good to me," how could he not want this? Of course he'd wish for it more to be than just pretend, but hey small things got to count for something, right, "hey do you want popcorn?"

"Nah, after escaping the dawn of the dead, I don't think my stomach can handle the commotion."

He nodded as he found their spot, it was almost right up to the screen but not quite. They didn't want to go blind yet they didn't want to go cross eyed. The middle was a good spot. There weren't much cars around, maybe two or three but that was it. It was actually a good place to go on a date, it was silent and serene.

The movie had already started. They probably caught the middle of it, where Frankenstein's bride goes on a killing spree.

"You know what?" Jill turned to face him," after dodging zombies, Jason, and creepy old Bubbaganoosh this stuff is nothing but beans. I usually have my eyes closed during these things but I'm actually kind of bored."

"Yeah me too, not the scared part cause you know, but I get you."

She jeered him by raising her hands as she laughed. He always had to play the macho card. Midway through she let out a small yawn.

"You bored of me too?" He let out as she continued to yawn.

"Huh? No I just had to do that after all that we've been through today. I think it's safe to say that you and I are the most busiest people in Tree Hill. Okay maybe not the most but we're somwewhere up there in the ranks. Come on, bright and early we picked out our costumes and bought stuff for your house, then we go to your place to decorate it, put in a five hour shift at Ben and Jerry's, go to a party which we ditched," she smiled at that, "then ventured off to a different town to go to a huanted house and now we're sitting at a drive in."

He shrugged.

"We're very random like that."

"That we are," she nodded.

Nathan smiled meekly as he stared at the screen. He was caught of guard though when Jill rested her head on his shoulder. He was tense at first but then loosened up.

"What's up Nathan, how's my buddy doing?"

"Umm, cool, can't complain," he looked down at her, "our first game is on Wednesday. It's a home game against the Bear Creek Warriors. It'd be cool if you came," he shook his head, "actually nevermind I wouldn't do that to you, My dad and Vegas are going to be there. Two people you can't stand."

"I could care less about those two, I want to see you play. If you're inviting me then my answer's a yes."

"Okay, then I'm inviting you."

"Okay then I'm going," she giggled, "I'll be a private cheerleader up in the stands. Cause we all know there is no way I'm throwing on spanky shorts and doing flips in the air. Oh no, not me at all."

He laughed nodding his head. Looking down at her resting on him peacefully caused an even more bigger smile to explode on his face She was simple today. She had gone from a vixen of a Greek goddess to something more plain. Her black hair was up in a messy ponytail and she was in a grey jogging sweater with ripped jeans. She actually looked even hotter in her raggedy clothes, he thought. She always looked good in whatever she decided to wear. He breathed in the smell of her shampoo, it was sweet and fruity. He knew exactly what she used; Victoria Secret's So Sexy Volumizing shampoo and conditioner. He had seen it in her shower whenever he slept over or took a shower at her place. He used it a couple of times, which is why he was so accustomed to the smell. Whenever he smelled the scent it reminded him of her.

"Hey Jill?"

"Mhmm?"

"Can I tell you something?"

"Yeah shoot, oh but first tell me the time, the clock in my jeep is busted."

He nodded reaching into his pocket for his cell phone.

"It's one in the morning."

"Cool, okay you can tell me now" she was still settled on his shoulder.

Still staring at his phone he noticed five missed calls, all from Lucas.

"Wow Lucas has been ringing me down. Let me just call him quick, see what's the matter," he hit seven on speed dial.

She gladly obliged making no efforts to move from her spot anytime soon, so it was all dandy. She felt at peace so close to him

He was on the phone for five minutes with Lucas explaining himself to a distraught older brother. Trying to quicken the conversation remembering what he wanted to tell Jill. After loads of explaining and brotherly reconciliation all was settled, and they said their goodbyes.

"Guess what? Lucas thought I was in troub..." he stopped mid sentence as he found her silently breathing, she had fallen asleep. Telling her was out of the option now for she was out like a light. Grabbing his letter jacket from the back slowly cause she was still leaning on him, he placed it on top of her.

He watched her sleep peacefully wishing it was always like that, him and her together.
