Thank you to HallowedSoul, Spunkey87, Brooke Scott, ocobssessed78, Agel15, and CharmingPiper for the feedback on the last updates! I really appreciate it especially to those of you who have given me feedback from the beginning. Thank you for being so patient with me! Think of this as my Christmas/holiday present to all of you. Hopefully I will have time to type out another update soon. Be sure to give me feedback whether you log in or not!

Two more chapters ahead that I have written and let me tell you, Chapter 6 is going to be long! That will be the first Lucas/Haley scene we saw in Season 2.

Note: Previous chapters have been edited. I noticed some things that were a little off but nothing major. So, just incase you wanted to reread the previous chapters.

Another note: In the chapter below, I changed one thing from the episode to better suit the purpose of getting Lucas and Haley together. I'm sure you'll see what it is.

Chapter 4

The Milk Balloon Fight from the episode, "To Wish Impossible Things"

As Lucas and Haley had their milk balloon fight on the roof, they couldn't help but smile and laugh. Being together was always so much fun. Then, as they walked towards each other after Haley called a fake truce, she yelled "Or not!". Lucas tried to hit her with a milk balloon while Haley missed him with the one she had been holding. Lucas caught her in his arms to avoid getting hit with a milk balloon. Her body was back against his as his arms encircled her waist. Suddenly, Lucas couldn't help but notice how her body fit so close to his. Her body fit his like a glove.

Haley had been laughing but had soon stopped as she realized the same thing he did. She felt herself take a short intake of breath and she got that tingly feeling again. She had it every time she got close to Lucas like this and when they hugged each other. She had ignored it, thinking nothing of it. She didn't know why she got it with Lucas and not with Nathan. Lucas was only her best friend. She wouldn't deny she had thought of them as more than friends on several occasions. However, she had felt close to Lucas as if he was like a brother to her but she knew she wouldn't get this feeling if Lucas was like her brother.

As Lucas had his arms around her waist, he felt that tingly feeling, too. He didn't know why and he had ignored it either. Haley had been like a sister to him, but he also didn't know why he would feel like this if Haley was like his sister. Haley was his best friend and always would be but there had also been countless times when he had thought of them as more than friends, too.

His arms slipped back around her waist as he looked down and noticed something on her lower back above her ass. It was a tattoo and it was his jersey number, #3. He traced the tattoo with his fingers. He couldn't believe Haley would get a tattoo but he was touched. It was his number, not Nathan's.

Haley's breath hitched in her throat for a moment as she felt his fingers graze her skin. She knew he had found her tattoo. As Lucas heard her hitch in breathing, he took his hands off her. He shouldn't be having this much of an effect on her, right?

"I'm sorry," Lucas murmured. His hands were now down on his sides as they slightly trembled from touching her.

"It's fine," Haley replied, turning to face him and look back into his eyes. "I was going to tell you. I just didn't know how. I wanted to show you how much you mean to me. I've been spending so much time with Nathan that I knew I had to show you I still care about you."

"Thank you," Lucas said softly. He couldn't think of what else to say. He was incredibly touched by this act of appreciation by her.

"You're welcome," Haley said, just as softly, looking into his eyes with the love in heart for him.

At that moment, all Lucas wanted was to hold her against him. He loved her so much and she loved that much as well.

"Dance with me," Lucas requested.

"But there's no music..." Haley started.

"We don't need music," Lucas replied, taking her as his arms encircled her waist again. Haley was so moved as she put her arms around his neck. So, they stood there dancing as music silently played in their hearts.

"I love you," Lucas admitted to her, meaning love as more than just friends.

"I love you, too," Haley admitted back to Lucas. She knew what he meant by the tone in his voice. It sounded so husky and sexy. A tone he had hardly ever used around her.

"You know what I mean, Haley. I really mean I love you…as more," Lucas reinforced his feelings towards her.

"I know. I meant the same thing back," Haley softly replied, a smile creeping onto her face and a smile came its way onto his face as well.

As they pulled back a little, their arms still around each other, all thoughts of anyone else left their minds. It was only them. It was like the whole world had stopped and just revolved around them for that one moment, that perfect moment. As if was the most natural thing in the world, they leaned in and their lips met in a soft and gentle kiss. It was tentative at first, a new feeling. But soon, it became more passionate and deeper as they stood there kissing each other for quite some time.
