Just to clear some stuff up---Jake and Lucas are twins…. Jake is older by three minutes
Concerning the parents' jobs, all I'm going to say for now is that Dan has Dan Scott Motors, Keith works at his auto shop, Karen has her business, Karen's Café and TRIC might come into the fic later when they get older.
I totally forgot to write the disclaimer last chapter….oops
DISCLAIMER: I do not own One Tree Hill or any of the characters in it. This story is purely my imagination.

Chapter 2
"Friends come and friends go but friendships sail on forever."
"Hi Mrs. James!" said Nathan when Lydia James opened her front door.
"Oh, hey Nathan. How are you? And your parents, I haven't seen them in the longest time!" asked Lydia with enthusiasm even though it was early morning
"I'm fine thanks and my parents too. They're really busy with work….I don't see them much anymore either."
"Oh I'm sure they're just busy…..Look Jimmy, Nathan came to pay us a visit, or maybe he just wanted to see Haley." Lydia remarked as Jimmy James entered the room.
"Hey Nate, hope everything is going well. You hungry?" asked Jimmy
"Well…actually a little bit; didn't have breakfast this morning." Nathan said smiling
"Alright, no worries. We got doughnuts in the kitchen, go ahead and grab yourself one. Don't be shy, we know you aren't."
"Thanks Mr. James. Is Haley awake yet?" questioned Nathan
"Ohh…well you know Haley. If she doesn't have school, she sleeps till lunchtime." Lydia laughed
"Yeah, she's a sleepyhead. But don't worry, I'll wake her up for you guys. I know how hard it is." remarked Nathan smiling.
"Oh, Nathan you're a lifesaver." Lydia grinned
"No problem, see you later Mr. and Mrs. James." Nathan went towards the kitchen.
"Alright, Nathan." Jimmy said
Nathan grabbed a chocolate covered donut with sprinkles and climbed up the stairs. When he entered Haley's room, it was dark and none of the curtains were open.
'He loved this part' he thought. Nathan loved to annoy Haley and to wake her up on a summer day at 9:30 in the morning was one of the best ways of annoying her.
He went towards her bed and yelled right in to her ear "WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD!"
As soon as he did this, he heard a groan from Haley…well it sounded more like a 'go away, shut up, go burn down under' kind of mumbling but Nathan didn't mind.
He walked over to the curtains and opened them so all the light could flow right in and onto Haley's form on the bed.
"Ugh, what is wrong with you? Waking up before one on a summer day?!" questioned Haley
"um…I think the question is what is wrong with YOU. Hales, nobody sleeps like you do; its like if a stampede came through here and you went flying out of your bed, you still wouldn't wake up." laughed Nathan
"Yeah, well don't blame me, its summer….its what normal kids do. And hey, I would not sleep through a stampede….well maybe but that's only if I was really sleepy." retorted Haley.
"….right…okay then well wake up! It's a great day….let's do something."
"hmmm what about no? I still need my sleep. And you do not need an excuse to come over here. I know you don't like staying in your house since nobody is there. You can always come here Nate. You know I would love for you to." smiled Haley
'how does this girl know me so well!?' the thought just amazed Nathan but he had to admit, he knew quite a lot about Haley too. That's just how they were. They were encyclopedias of each other.
"You know….you should grow up and be a doctor that helps people that are like not willing to open up and stuff." Nathan stated
"You mean psychiatrist, Nate?" Haley grinned
"Yea, yea, yeah. Well whatever. Any room for me, best friend?"
"Always…come on, I know you want to take a nap." Haley slid over on her bed and let Nathan climb in.
Once they both got comfortable, they talked for a while but soon enough they both were asleep. Too bad they forgot to set the alarm clock.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two very pissed third graders stood in Haley's room. And no, they were not Nathan and Haley.
"Peyton, where is your camera! You gotta have it, we ran over here and I see you still have your backpack so where is that disposable camera. I need it NOW!" exclaimed Brooke Davis
The other girl started ransacked her backpack looking for that little camera. Finally after finding it in about 20 seconds, she handed it over to her best friend.
Peyton Sawyer and Brooke Davis had returned from vacation on the same day. So this automatically means there must be a welcome home party but no, their two best friends were in bed…sleeping! SLEEPING! How could they forget….well, ready or not, they were going to get a piece of Peyton and Brooke's mind!
"Uh, Brooke…what are you doing taking a picture of Nathan and Haley…sleeping!" asked young Peyton Sawyer
"Are you joking? This picture will entitle us to so much power when we grow up. Like we could….tease them with it and make fun of them, I can't wait to see their faces after realizing that we took a picture of them sleeping!"
"Whoa, you really are a seven year old planning on taking over the world, aren't you?"
"Oh yeah, and don't worry P. Sawyer you are definitely going to be my sidekick. I need a girl sidekick and Haley is way too nice." Brooke laughed
The youthful girl snapped a quick picture of her two best friends sleeping. She had to admit to herself though, these two looked really cute. Nathan and Haley were facing each other and Nathan's little hand was over Haley's waist. Haley had her face right in front of Nathan's chest. They both looked so peaceful. Even though this was supposed to be a photo to blackmail Nathan and Haley by when they get older, Brooke also thought this 'Kodak moment' couldn't be passed by.
"Hey, Brooke. You think we could wake them up now. We just got home from vacationing for like a bajillion days and they aren't even awake when we get here!? I thought you told me you called Haley yesterday." Peyton exclaimed
"Excuse me! I did call Haley and I told her exactly when we were coming and that she better be ready to welcome us. Guess she fell asleep on the job…and so did Nathan."
Peyton and Brooke walked over to either side of the bed and contemplated on how to wake the two sleeping kids up. Suddenly, Brooke's face lit up and Peyton could see she was ready to do some damage.
"I got a great idea! I'm sure Haley's parents won't mind if we go grab some stuff from the kitchen….to, you know; help us with waking them up." Brooke stated
Peyton was utterly confused, "eww Brooke, are you thinking of like putting whipped cream on them or something?"
Brooke had a mischievous smile on her face now, "No I was not but hey, that's a great idea. But to get this over with FAST, I have a different plan."
Both girls hurried downstairs using the same set of stairs that Nathan used to get upstairs that morning; it led right into the kitchen. In a matter of seconds, they were back upstairs in Haley's room with their "equipment".
They crept next to either side of the bed and counted off in whispers.
"1……..2………3!"
All of a sudden there was a loud BANG sound.
Nathan and Haley both jerked awake. Haley was scared out of her mind and grabbed onto Nathan but Nathan just looked around and saw two girls, a blonde and a brunette laughing their butts off in the corner of the room, both holding a steel pan that Lydia used to cook.
Looking at the girl hiding behind him on the bed, Nathan said "Hales, calm down. It's just two evil girls that you call your best friends, well that is after awesome me."
"Shut up, Nathan Scott! You know your proud to call us your best friends too!" exclaimed Brooke.
"Yeah, whatever. If you say so." Nathan mumbled
Haley after hearing what Nathan said, opened her eyes and saw her two girl best friends She became ecstatic. All of a sudden she turned towards the alarm clock, it read 1:30 PM. Haley cringed while looking back at the other girls, she was getting ready for what was about to come at her. After all, Brooke had told her they would BOTH be arriving back in town that day and be at Haley's house by 1:00. And Haley had promised not to forget.
"OH, that's right Haley James! I….WE are very mad at you! How could you forget after I just told you yesterday!?" Brooke shouted
Haley got up from her bed and stood in front of Brooke and Peyton, "I am so sorry guys, I totally overslept. If Nathan hadn't come over and woke me up in the middle of my sleep I would have been awake." Haley turned around and glared at Nathan who was still sitting on the bed.
"Hey! Do not blame this on me." Nathan countered
Haley knew she had to make up for her mistake. "Hey, why don't we go to the park? It's such a great day outside." she mimicked Nathan from that morning.
"Sure. Let's go! You up for it, Nate?" Peyton asked
"Yeah, let me just go grab my basketball and then we can go." At this, Brooke groaned. "Do you really think anybody is going to play with you? Luke and Jake are still on vacation. And I am not playing."
"That's okay. Hales is always up for playing, right?"
"Uhhh…what? Haley, since when do you play that……….game???" Brooke and Peyton looked lost.
"Well, Nate showed me how to shoot and stuff over the summer. I'm actually pretty good. Well that's what Nathan says." Haley smiled.
"I just said you were good for a girl." Nathan assured the other girls.
Brooke turned to Peyton, "Sawyer, a lots changed since we left. When did Haley become a stand-in boy and when did Nathan sleep past 10 in the morning? They're all out of wack."
"I know! Something is wrong here." Peyton and Brooke carried on their conversation like the other two weren't even there.
"HELLO! We're right here. Stop talking about us like we can't hear you because we can!" Haley yelled.
Peyton broke out into a grin. She loved how overdramatic Haley was sometimes.
"Come on, let's go to the park. I've missed my best friends, its time for us to spend some time together!" Brooke pulled Nathan and Haley alongside her. Haley quickly grabbed Peyton's hand and they all followed Brooke down the stairs and out the door.
