Hellllllllllo readers! Here's the newest part, hope you all like it! Just a little note, Peyton and Nathan are at the alter the year they graduate college, the summer they graduate college actually. All of chapter one (parts A and B) was their freshman year of high school. The chapter after this is going to be longer, and it's going to be about tutoring, Dan and Deb's crazy... craziness and it's effect on Nathan, Naley-ness (feelings developing and dating), and some D-RAMA.. dun dun dun... and of course TIM. It's going to be middle freshman year to the middle/end of junior year.

I really hope you all like the Tim-Haley friendship, because he plays an important part in the story. He's the 'Naley' expert. But I'll tell you right now, there was no summer romance between Tim and Haley.

Just please please don't give up on the story. I promise, I won't take too long getting to the wedding. These parts ARE important because you'll understand why Nathan is still very much in love with Haley, but is marrying Peyton (and no, I can tell you right now Peyton's not pregnant).

Chapter 1B: Tim won't give it to me because he doesn't have a penis!

As Nathan pulled up to his house after school he saw his dad's car parked in the driveway. It was a little after three so Nathan was surprised to see his dad home.

"I knew I should have just gone straight to Tim's," Nathan muttered to himself.

As he walked in the door he noticed his dad still in his suit, which meant one of two things: Dan Scott had just gotten home from work or he was just picking something up and would be going back to work. Nathan silently prayed for the second one.

"Nathan," Dan bellowed as soon as he heard the front door open. "I'm going to be working late tonight, but that doesn't mean you can slack off in your training. I want you to run five miles and work on your free throws. When I get back we'll go out to the court and you can show me your improvement."

Dan didn't wait for a response before he was out the door again.

Nathan dropped his bag in the living room and made his way to the kitchen for something to drink. "My day was great dad. I actually can't train today because I'm going over to Tim's," Nathan said bitterly to himself.

It wasn't long before he started walking towards Tim's house not bothering to take his bike today because it was nice outside.

Twenty minutes later Nathan rang Tim's doorbell. From inside the house he could hear Emily scream, "It's HAWEY! IT'S HAWEY!" This was followed by a distinct order from Tim not to open the door.

When Tim opened the door he wasn't surprised to see Nathan.

"Oh, it's only you. Hi, Nathan." Emily said, a little disappointed.

"Aw," Nathan pouted. "I guess I'll just go home now since Emily doesn't love me anymore"

Emily giggled. "Of course I still love you Nathan! I'm just waiting for Hawey. Timmy didn't tell me yooou were coming. Are you here to play with me? Are you going to play dress up with me and have a tea party like Tim does?"

Tim chuckled uneasily. "You know kids… they say the stupidest things. Run along now Emily and I'll tell you when Haley gets here."

"Tea partying and cross dressing Tim?" Nathan laughed. "Are you sure you didn't bring me here to try and get in my pants. I am pretty damn sexy, but you're just not my type. I like boobs."

Tim chuckled. "Trust me, if you had a little sister you'd do anything to keep her happy!"

Nathan nodded in understanding.

"So how'd you get here Nate? Did you walk? My dad could have picked you up. He went to get Haley." Tim asked as they went into the living room.

"I thought you had to baby-sit Emily? Aren't your parents going out?" Nathan asked, confused.

"No, my dad's going to be home. He just has this big presentation due and he needs me to keep Emily out of his hair. And my mom's out… doing, weird girly mom stuff."

"Gotcha."

A couple of minutes later Tim's dad pulled into the driveway. Haley was greeted with a mass of curls in a pink jumper and white t-shirt leaping into her arms.

"Hawey, I missed you. I gots lotsa stuff to tell you. There was a boy in my preschool and he was mean. I was building blocks and then he kicked them down, so I kicked him. Then the teacher came because the stupid boy started to cry and I got in trouble. Then when my mommy came and picked me up I got a time out when I got home."

Haley stood amused with the little girl in her arms. She managed to say all that without taking a single breath. Emily was going to be a handful when she grew up.

"Well, you shouldn't kick people, Em. It's not very nice." Haley tried to reason with the girl.

"I know. But he was a stupid boy. All boys are stupid. Well, except for Timmy, Daddy and Nathan. And then he said I had cooties." Emily paused, tilting her head to the side. "What are cooties Hawey?"

"Okay, munchkin, let's get inside and start playing. Sorry about that Haley. Emily just had a very exciting day," Greg Smith apologized.

"That's alright Mr. Smith. I haven't seen her in awhile and I missed her," Haley gushed.

Mr. Smith took Emily upstairs into her room.

"There's food, snacks, and drinks in the kitchen guys. Help yourself. Tim, I'm going to need you to get Emily down for her nap in about an hour."

"Ok dad. We'll be in the living room if you need anything."

The three made their way to the living room, all plopping down on the couch.

"So… what do you want to do?" Tim asked.

"Doesn't matter to me. As long as I don't have to sit and watch you two play video games, I'm good."

"Ah, shucks Haley. You're just a regular party pooper!" Nathan joked.

"We could watch some TV." Tim suggested.

"Sure," Nathan agreed. "As long as it's nothing girly."

"Which reminds me," Haley remembered. "I'm going to need my 'A Walk To Remember' back Tim. You've had it for longer than I've had it and it's my movie!"

Nathan looked at Tim questioningly, and Tim looked nervous.

"Heh… heh…" Tim started uneasily. "You shouldn't leave your movies here then. Especially your stupid chick flicks."

Nathan laughed as Tim went to retrieve Haley's movies.

"I watched it 15 times," Tim whispered to Haley discreetly as he handed her the movie. "And it made me cry every time."

Haley snickered at Tim. Nathan, who had heard every word Tim said began laughing uncontrollably.

"God Tim! Or should I call you Tanya? I didn't know you were such a softie."

Tim gave Nathan the finger as he went to the kitchen to get some snacks, prompting Nathan to laugh harder.

"So, Haley. Tim told me all about the summer. I'm still shocked. I mean… I just can't imagine Tim doing that!"

"Nice try Scott. No one's stupid enough to fall for that one!" Haley giggled.

"Well, why don't you just tell me what the big summer secret is that Tim doesn't want me to know?" Nathan questioned.

"Because it goes against every rule in the best friend code."

"Fine. Be that way. But I'll find out. Don't you worry, I'll find out." But Nathan wasn't so sure he would find out. They were both so tight lipped about it. He knew there had to be a way to crack one of them.

"So, Tim tells me that you're trying out for the basketball team," Haley said, trying to make conversation.

"Yeah, well. When you're as good as I am, you can't not try out," Nathan said seriously and then began to laugh at his answer. He looked to Haley and saw that she too was laughing.

Before he could stop himself he began blurting out his situation. "My dad's been pushing me to play basketball ever since I could walk. Don't get me wrong. I like the game, but I just sometimes feel like I'm playing for him and not me."

Haley nodded in understanding.

Nathan wondered why he'd told her that. He was feeling a bit uncomfortable having told her such a personal thing.

Tim decided at that moment to come back with the snack. "Ok, I've got cookies, chips, popcorn, drinks, and every other imaginable junk to stuff our faces with."

"Did you get me some -"

Before Haley could finish, Tim handed her a jar of pickles. "Seriously, Hales. Who do you think I am?"

Haley smiled appreciatively, while Nathan gawked. "Are you sure you two aren't dating? You'll probably end up together like that couple in that show 'Dorky's River'."

"Do you want to take this or should I Tim?" Haley asked.

"One, it's not Dorky's River. It's Dawson's Creek. And two, Dawson and Joey aren't going to end up together because she's going to end up with Pacey," Tim stated matter-of-factly.

Tim and Haley crossed their arms and gave Nathan an 'I-can't-believe-you-didn't-know-that' look.

Nathan turned to Haley and pointed an accusing finger at her. "I don't know what sort of witch-craft spell you put him under, but you reverse it right now. This is NOT right. He's a dude! He's not your stand in chick that you can play dress up with and talk about girly things with." He then turned to Tim. "And you." Nathan shook his head. "I don't even know where to begin with you. Are you sure your penis is still there or was it taken away for being the worst man ever?!"

Just as Nathan was finished his little tirade, an overactive Emily bounced into the room chanting, "Penis! Penis! Tim has no peeeeeeenis!" then plopped herself onto the couch.

The 'three stooges' gawked at Emily and were then reduced to tears of laughter.

"But seriously Tim, guys watch sports, fart and burp-" Nathan began but was interrupted by Haley.

"And watch the season six premiere of Dawson's Creek on October 2nd."

"Yes," Nathan said, not paying attention to Haley's statement. "Wha- NO. No Dawson's Creek or Dorky's River or whatever fu-" Nathan paused looking at Emily then continued, "heck show has to do with big bodies of water."

"Ok Nate. No more Dawson's Creek," Tim agreed.

Nathan, pleased with Tim decision, plopped down next to Emily and began flipping through the channels.

"Just so we're clear," Tim explained to Haley in a hush voice, "season premiere at your house. Then we're alternating houses for every episode."

Haley nodded while trying to hold her giggle.

Tim and Haley sat down on the couch beside Nathan and Emily. Emily, who looked confusedly at the three innocently asked, "What's a penis?"

Nathan dropped the remote as both boys turned their eyes to Haley, silently begging for her to answer the question.

"Well Em. Um, a penis… is, well. You know boys and girls are different right?" Haley asked a curious Emily. Emily responded with a nod, prompting Haley to continue.

"Um… Well, a penis is something that a boy has that a girl doesn't have."

Emily seemed content with that answer. Nathan picked the remote up and began flipping through the channels again.

After a few seconds, Emily asked another interesting question.

"So Tim got his penis taken away because he's bad?"

Tim dropped his head not knowing whether to laugh or scream at his sister's innocent question while Nathan and Haley laughed.

"I'll take this one Haley." Nathan began. "See Em, Tim, he used to have a penis, but he started to act like a girl so it got taken away."

"This is so wrong." Haley laughed. "Yet soooo funny!"

All three silently wished that would be the end of Emily's questioning. After a few moments Emily remained silent, so they let out a deep breath.

As Nathan passed a commercial filled with bikini clad girls, Tim attempted to regain his manly status.

"Dude, I would so give it to any one of those girls. They're so hot."

Emily's interest once again peaked shocking the three once again with her question. "What do you want to give her Tim?"

Tim looked baffled as he tried to think of something to tell his little sister. He looked to Nathan for help, but Nathan was laughing too hard to form a coherent sentence. He then looked to Haley, silently telling her to tell his sister something.

"Well Em, Tim wants to give her-" Haley paused while looking around the room. She zeroed in on the snacks lined up on the coffee table. "A COOKIE! Um, Tim wants to give her a cookie."

"The boys in my class never want to give it to me." Emily pouted.

"Oh GOD. I'm seriously in hell right now." Tim cried. "Emily, NEVER EVER EVER let ANYONE give it to you. And if they try, you kick them as hard as you can and you run as fast as you can."

"But… but… I got in trouble today for kicking Billy." Emily said, looking a little scared and sad. 'Why doesn't Tim want anyone to give me cookies? Maybe he wants to be the one to give me cookies. Mommy and daddy did say never to take candy from a stranger.

"Cookies, Hales? You couldn't have said cooties or something Emily doesn't like? God, now she wants people to give it to her. What am I going to do?" Tim paced.

Haley was laughing so hard at the situation that she thought she was going to pee, and Nathan had never seen anything more amusing in his life. 'Serves Tim right for trying to keep secrets from me,' Nathan thought.

"Well," Emily looked towards Tim, "Can you give it to me?"

Tim had never been more horrified, embarrassed and disgusted in his whole life.

"Emily, you listen to me, and you listen good. I cannot… oh, god, I can't believe this is happening… I cannot give it to you. EVER."

Emily looked like she was on the verge of tears at her brother's words. "Is it because you don't have a penis?"

"Oh God," Nathan laughed. "This is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life."

"No Emily. My penis is fine." Tim angrily stated. "No one will be giving ANYTHING to you. NEVER. Never never never let anyone give it to you alright?!?"

Emily, thinking Tim was mad at her, began to cry. 'No one's going to give me cookies ever again!'

Emily then ran from the room crying, "DADDY!! TIM WON'T GIVE IT TO ME BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE A PENIS."

"Oh God… I am so fucking dead. Do you see what you two did?! You," he pointed to Nathan, "with your 'no penis' talk. And you," he pointed to Haley "with your cookies. Do you realize that she's like a freaking sponge?! Everything you say, she's going to hear, and repeat. I am so dead. I'm going to kill you two." Tim paced angrily.

Nathan and Haley, not taking Tim's anger seriously, dropped to the floor and rolled in laughter.

"TIM! GET YOUR A- UM.. BEHIND UP HERE STAT!"

"I am so dead. Thank you two, for this. Really." Tim said sarcastically before making his way up to his dad's study.

After Nathan and Haley's laughter died down, Haley took her books out and began working while Nathan continued to flip through channels.

Nathan turned to her. "Is the TV too loud? I can turn it down for you."

"No, it's alright. I'm one of those people that can read a book, sing along to the radio and still understand what I just read," Haley explained, never taking her eyes off her work.

Nathan gawked at her a bit before settling the TV on MTV.

A few minutes later, Tim came back down. "Well, after carefully explaining what happened, my dad laughed. He laughed. No big lectures, no 'Tim, you're an idiot'. He laughed. I don't know whether to be happy or scared that I'm going to be punished later."

"Eh, you have to admit. That was damn funny!" Nathan laughed.

"Oh, God Hales, please do not tell me you're doing homework."

"For your information Timmy, I'm not doing my homework. I'm helping correct someone else's."

"Hey, you're a tutor right?" Nathan asked. When Haley nodded her head he continued, "Well, do you know any good tutors that can help me keep a C average?"

Haley thoughts were interrupted by Tim's suggestion.

"Hey, why don't you tutor him Hales? It's not like you guys are really good friends that you'd distract each other, but you're not total strangers that it would be weird. It's perfect!"

Nathan didn't mind the suggestion, but looked worriedly at Haley, wondering if she thought it was a good idea.

After careful deliberation, Haley agreed. "I'll tutor you, on one condition."

"What," Nathan joked, "not to fall in love with you?"

"No, smarty-pants. No slacking or asking me to do your homework for you. I'm here to help you." Haley finished then stuck out her hand.

Nathan shook her hand in agreement. "Deal."
