Haley and Lucas finally made it to the camp check in. The two of them walked out of the car and got their cabin numbers. Haley grinned, "I'm so excited! I can't wait for this camp to start."

Lucas smiled at her, "Me too. But let's find our rooms first."

Haley nodded and they split up, planning to meet up again at dinner.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haley started off towards the girl's cabins. She found her cabin and opened the door. Her jaw dropped when she saw Brooke Davis lounging in front of a desk and Peyton Sawyer standing next to her. The two of them were talking to another girl with blonde hair, but they all turned around when they heard her come in. Brooke grinned, "What's up, tutor girl?"

Haley shook her head, "This is a dream right? I mean, Brooke Davis isn't actually at my camp."

Brooke laughed, "Sorry sweetie, we're 100 real."

"Oh my god." Haley said, "I can't believe this."

"You better start." Peyton advised.

"Does Lucas know about this?"

"Lucas? Well, he has his own surprise waiting for him…" Brooke trailed off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucas walked along the trail thinking. Haley's excitement was beginning to get contagious and Lucas couldn't wait to get started with all the sports there. He pushed open his cabin door and was so surprised at what he saw that he dropped his bag.

Nathan's head snapped around when he heard the thunk of Lucas's bag. Seeing the look on Lucas's face, he burst out laughing.

Tim looked annoyed, "Dude, that's seriously not cool. You might wanna be more considerate of the other people here."

Lucas shook his head, "Out of all people…" He muttered, then looked at Nathan suspiciously, "Haley put you up to this didn't she?"

"Haley?" Nathan scoffed, "Like we even talk."

"No man, it was Brooke." Tim grinned.

"Brooke?" Lucas asked in disbelief. "Brooke Davis is here too?"

"Yeah. And Peyton too." Nathan replied casually.

"Peyton." Lucas was dumbfounded. "And Brooke, and Tim, and you…" He glared at Nathan who glared back.

Tim rolled his eyes, "I guess it's gonna be a long summer for those two." He added as an afterthought, "Yes!"

One of the two other guys cleared their throats, causing Nathan and Lucas to end their staring contest. "I don't want to ruin your male bonding time or anything, but we're all going to be in here for the rest of camp, so is there something we should know about you two?" Seth stared directly at Lucas and Nathan.

"Nah. Just the same old high school drama." Tim shook his head.

"Oh." Seth nodded. "By the way, I'm Seth Cohen and that's Ryan Attwood."

"Lucas Scott." Lucas shook their hands.

"Wait. So you two are brothers?" Ryan asked.

"Only technically." Nathan answered. "It's a long story." He added after seeing Ryan's questioning gaze.

Ryan nodded, knowing better than to pry into other people's business. Lucas got settled in and soon, the guys all had to go to the camp dinner. They all set off, Nathan and Tim walking ahead. Ryan and Seth behind, talking to Lucas.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haley was still trying to accept the fact that she wasn't dreaming and Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer were actually staying in her camp cabin. She shook her head as she unpacked her clothes. Haley had met the three other girls in her cabin. Apparently they were all from Orange County. She scoffed, not only was she stuck with two of the most unoutdoorsy people she knew, she also had to share a room with three other wealthy socialites. Haley actually was starting to like Anna, she seemed different from the two other girls, Summer and Marissa. Now those two, they were basically the beach version of Brooke.

"Hey tutor girl, you done yet?" Brooke broke into her thoughts.

"Almost, why?" Haley asked, a little annoyed.

"Well, we've gotta go to dinner soon and you know we wouldn't leave without you." Brooke explained as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"I'll hurry up." Haley promised, feeling a little guilty for being angry with Brooke. She really did have a sweet side.

"You better. I can't wait to see the look on Lucas's face. He won't know what hit him." She squealed.

Haley rolled her eyes. So much for a sweet side.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The boys finally made it to the cafeteria. They were disappointed to find that they had assigned tables to sit at. They plopped down and watched as people began filing in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooke squealed to Peyton walking to the cafeteria. "Oh my gosh. This is so exciting. I can't believe this is actually happening!"

"Tell me about it." Haley muttered, trailing behind her.

Behind them, Marissa and Summer were discussing Ryan and Seth. Although they were all broken up, a reconciliation was being considered. "Well, Cohen's Cohen." Summer pointed out.

"So? Ryan's Ryan too." Marissa argued.

"Ryan's different. Cohen's Cohen." Summer whined.

Marissa shook her head. "Sum…" She groaned. "Have you seen any other guys?"

"Well I haven't really had the chance to look after running into our favorite Newport guys." Summer answered. She brightened, "You're right Marissa."

"I am?" Marissa raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. I mean why should I waste my time thinking about Cohen when we're so over and there are probably a million other guys here. Coop, it's time for some serious action."

Marissa linked her arm through Summer's. "Now that sounds like the Summer I know and love." Laughing, the two girls entered the cafeteria doors and sat down with the rest of the other girls.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The chatter began to die down when a stern looking woman stood up in the front of the room. "I'd like to welcome you all." She began in a bored voice. "I'm Mrs. Jones and if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask me or any of the counselors." She indicated to the people standing along the walls. "I'm sure you noticed the assigned tables. Don't worry, they're not permanent. After tonight, you'll be free to sit wherever you want."

Tim nudged Nathan, "Look over there." He pointed toward the girl's side at the table where Brooke, Peyton, Haley, and three other girls were sitting.

Nathan stared at the girls; Brooke looked over and winked at him.

"Man, who're the others?" Tim wondered. "They are seriously hot."

"Dude. Do you ever think about anything else?" Nathan wondered before focusing his attention on the three foreign girls. One was a petite brunette, he figured she was the one Tim thought was hot. Another had short blonde hair and a sweet face. The last had long legs and light brown hair. Nathan kept his gaze on her, she interested him. Suddenly, she turned around and caught him staring at her. Quickly, Nathan looked away and turned to look at Tim.

"The one over there. I totally call her." He indicated Summer.

Nathan rolled his eyes. "How did I know." He turned serious. "Who's the one on the end?"

Tim looked over, "Her? No idea. You interested?"

Nathan shrugged, "Maybe."

"After this, we've gotta get the girls to introduce us." Tim told Nathan.

He shrugged again. "Whatever you say."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marissa felt Summer poke her side. "Look over there. Newport boys alert."

Marissa looked to where Summer indicated and saw Ryan and Seth sitting with three other guys. "What about the other ones?"

"What about them?" Summer shrugged. "You think they're any cute?"

Marissa looked more closely. She caught one of them staring at her. He had dark hair and was built like an athlete. When he saw her staring back, he broke their gaze and turned away. She grinned and whispered to Summer. "The one over there." She nodded towards the guy's back.

Summer strained to see. "I can't really see him. Oh well, I'll look when you two have hooked up."

"Sum! How am I supposed to know if he even likes me?" Marissa asked.

"Don't worry. Of course he'll like you." Summer assured. "Now onto more important matters. See anyone for me yet?"

Marissa shook her head and kept scanning the crowd.

Eventually Mrs. Jones wrapped up her speech and told them they all could get dinner. Everyone scrambled to get into line to get their food. In all the chaos, Peyton lost her footing and started to fall over.

"Whoa." A pair of strong arms caught her and kept her upright. "Are you okay?"

She looked up, a guy with blonde hair and a concerned expression looked down at her. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." She replied a little flustered.

He took his arms from her waist. "Good. I'm Ryan Attwood."

"Peyton Sawyer." She straightened.

He smiled. "Nice to meet you Peyton. I'll see you around." He turned and walked off in another direction.

Peyton stared at his back. "Nice to meet you too Ryan Attwood." She whispered.

Summer dejectedly picked up an apple from the fruit basket. So far she hadn't seen any guys she was interested in. Suddenly, she dropped her apple. "Damn." She muttered.

She bent down to retrieve her apple when someone picked it up and handed it to her. "This yours?" asked a voice.

She looked at a pair of blue eyes. "Well, it was. But I doubt I'm going to eat it now." She wrinkled her nose.

He laughed. "That's pretty smart." He tossed it into a nearby trash can.

"Good shot." Summer remarked. "You play basketball or something?"

"Oh yeah." He grinned. "Ever since I was a four."

"Wow. You must be really good then." Summer said, impressed.

He shrugged. "I'm not bad."

Summer smiled. "I think you're way beyond 'not bad'. I'm Summer Roberts." She stuck out her hand.

He shook it. "Lucas Scott. Nice to meet you."

"Same here." Summer echoed.

Brooke scanned the crowd of people, she finally saw who she was looking for and strolled confidently over to where he was standing. She came up behind him and tapped his shoulder. "Hey there Prince Charming." She teased.

He turned around and grinned when he saw her. "That's me. I was wondering if I'd see you again."

"I told you you would." She smiled.

"So you did." He nodded. "And here you are." He pointed out.

"Here I am." She agreed.

They talked and got their food. They finally split up and went to sit at their assigned tables.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dinner was almost over, and Tim and Nathan still hadn't gotten up to get introduced to the other two girls. "You think we should talk to Brooke soon?" Tim asked uncertainly.

"Yeah, we probably should." Nathan answered looking at the tall brunette again. He snapped out of his trance. "Wait. What are we waiting for?" He demanded. "If we want to meet those girls we should do it now before another guy does."

Tim nodded. "Good thinking Nate. Let's go."

The two guys stood up and walked over to where Brooke was chatting with Peyton. She looked up and saw them approaching. "Hey boys. What brings you two over here?"

"We can't say hi to our favorite cheerleaders?" Tim asked, pretending to be offended.

"No, you can't as a matter of fact." Peyton rolled her eyes. "What do you guys want?"

"That obvious huh?" Tim frowned. "We gotta work on our subtlety, Nate."

"I think 'you' have to work on 'our' subtlety." Nathan told Tim.

Tim shrugged. "We would like to meet some of your cabin mates, two of them in particular."

Brooke laughed. "I should have guessed. Well, which beach babes caught your eyes?"

"Those two." Tim nodded towards Summer and Marissa.

Brooke grinned, "Well then, c'mon."

Tim and Nathan followed Brooke over to where Marissa and Summer were gossiping. They stopped when they saw the two boys. "Hey." Brooke started.

"Hey." Summer echoed.

"I want you two to meet two of my friends. This is Tim Smith and Nathan Scott." Brooke said. "Guys this is Summer Roberts and Marissa Cooper. Two of Orange County's finest debutants."

"Please, that was not a good experience for me." Marissa said.

"Me neither." Summer agreed. "I still can't believe my ball ended up like that."

"Anyway, it's nice to meet you guys." Marissa smiled.

"No, it's nice to meet you." Nathan looked at Marissa.

Marissa smiled at him. Brooke chose that time to make her exit, "Well you all have fun." She walked back and sat next to Peyton again.

Tim grinned at Summer. "Hey, I'm Tim."

"Eww. And I'm not interested." Summer glared at him.

Marissa and Nathan talked a while longer. Tim tried to talk to Summer, but she made it very clear she didn't like him.

When Nathan and Tim were walking back, Tim shook his head. "I just don't get it. You've gotta teach me how to get a girl like that."

"Tim, don't even try. She's way outta your league." Nathan answered.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the dinner, everyone went back to their cabins. Over at the girls, after talking to the counselor, they were all scattered around the cabin. Haley and Anna went to use the bathrooms. Brooke was sitting at a desk talking to Summer who was sprawled on her bed and Marissa and Peyton who were both sitting on the floor. After a while, when Haley and Anna had come back, they all decided to go to bed. After a round of good nights, they all fell asleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over on the boy's side, they were being visited by their counselor. He was a stern man, and began lecturing them although none of them had done anything wrong. "I know how boys your age act and I'm telling you know I won't stand for any sneaking out at night or breaking any other rules. My cabin is right over there." He pointed. "So any rowdy behavior I will notice." He finished up his lecture and walked to the next cabin.

Tim whistled, "Man, did you hear that guy? He's even worse than Whitey."

"Who's Whitey?" Seth asked.

"Our basketball coach." Nathan explained. "He can be pretty strict when he wants."

Tim nodded. "I remember this one game, the girls had this big cheerleading competition."

Lucas and Nathan both groaned, but Tim went on. "So it's the night before our game and us guys decide to get wasted, so we're all drunk and we walk into the pool where all the girls are in their tiny suits. So of course we start goofing around." He grinned, then frowned, "Then Whitey walks in on us…"

"The part that Tim left out was he took us all to a strip club to get wasted. Except it was a male strip club." Nathan winced at the memory.

Ryan and Seth burst out laughing.

The guys spent more time swapping stories before finally going to bed.
