A/N: I'm happy to see that I have a few interested readers. Believe it or not this idea came to me after watching a Mission Impossible marathon. The games are in no way dangerous like those movies but I do have to really think about the challenges for them to be worth millions. Of course the beginning is easy I just need ideas to make it more interesting. If you have any suggestions I'm very open to them. PM me your ideas if you want.

PS: This is kind of turning into a Naley story as well. Some reason I can't resist.

Sometimes I feel like I'm standing on the outside of the box looking in.

"I'm not playing unless I know what I'm playing for." Nathan, ever so competitive, replied as he stood next to Haley.

Rachel rolled her eyes, "Alright fine, suck the mystery and fun out of it why don't you.There's a mystery prize and a cash prize. For now I can only tell you that should you win all events you will win six million dollars." She then grinned at the crowds stunned faces and said, "Happy gaming ladies and gentlemen."

Brooke and Haley looked at each other then back at Rachel, unsure of what to make of her announcement. Brooke however was the first person to speak, "I'm sorry can you repeat that please?"

"There will be a mystery prize and a cash prize. For now I can only tell you that should you win all events you will win six million dollars."

"Six million…" Haley repeated faintly.

Rachel nodded, "If you win. So get your rest. Like I said I will email you all just before you report here."

"What's in it for you? What are you getting out of all this?" Peyton asked.

Rachel smirked then answered, "Endless entertainment. Plus it's good to see you all again." Owen whispered into her ear and her grin broadened. "Oh right…we'll it's been a pleasure but we all have a long day ahead of us. So get some rest."

"Will do." Lucas said with a tight smile.

The group watched the married couple leave, still stunned to the core. "Wow…I didn't see that coming."

"Who could have seen that coming? Six million…man…"

"Yeah but not all money is good money. I don't trust her or that bodybuilder husband of hers." Haley said as she leaned against the wall.

Lucas nodded, "I'm with Haley on this one. It all seems too good to be true in my opinion."

"And also who knows what kind of games they have in store."

Jake rolled his eyes, "Oh come on. It's only a game! If we win that's six million dollars! I don't know about many of you but I can certainly use that money."

"And if we lose…at least we went on an adventure." Peyton added with an excited smile. "So are you in?"

Brooke smiled at Peyton then nodded, "Yeah. I'm in."

"Well I'm out! There's no way that I'm getting involved in this! I'm going home!" Haley said just before she started to walk away.

Brooke couldn't believe her ears. "Haley!"

"No Brooke I'm not falling for whatever this trick is!" Haley then exhaled and made her way to the elevator.

Nathan unable to help himself followed behind her, "Haley…Haley wait up!"

Haley paused, "Why are you following me?"

"Look Haley…this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We should make the best of it. You know what they say, you only live once. So stay. Please."

Haley wanted to say no. Desperately. But when she moved her lips she found herself saying, "Fine. I'll stay."

Nathan then smirked, "I was hoping you'd see it my way."

"First of all I wasn't agreeing for you…" she said, lying through her teeth. "Someone has to keep an eye on Brooke."

Nathan looked over to where they left the group and saw Brooke talking to Lucas animatedly and said, "I'm pretty sure she's in good hands."

Haley rolled her eyes, "Figures."

"What figures?"

"She's setting the bait and it looks like Lucas is eating it up." she said with an amused smile on her face.

Nathan snorted, "Well I hope so. The guy has lived like a monk for as long as I've known him. Sometimes I swear he's still a virgin."

Haley giggled at the comment and sighed then admitted, "Well believe it or not Brooke hasn't been any better lately. Which is why that is happening."

Nathan looked and saw that Brooke and Lucas were now heading out of the ballroom together. "How about we get to know each other…walk around a bit."

Haley's brown eyes flicked to his and smiled sardonically, "These shoes aren't for long strolls and I refuse to take my shoes off in any place besides my suite."

He nodded to himself then suggested, "How about I give you a piggyback ride should your feet start hurting."

She considered her options then said, "Actually I should be getting back to our suite…"

"Come on, I promise I won't bite…unless you're into that sort of thing." he said with a wink and a charming half smile that was more like a smirk.

Haley bit her lip as she considered his offer. If she were really honest with herself she would readily admit that she wanted to spend more time with this tall dark and handsome man that towered over her in a way that made her nervous and simultaneously giddy like a school girl with a crush for the first time. Besides who knows when Brooke would be done doing whatever with her old classmate.

Decision made, Haley looked him in the eye solemnly. "Okay…"

~x~

Brooke hadn't laughed so much in a man's company in forever. He even took her mind off the fact that Haley had left her high and dry and that Nathan was nowhere in sight. Instead she focused her attention on the attention she was garnering from Lucas Scott. A man as mysterious and attractive as she is. And he was by far the most interesting guy she ever encountered. Not to mention so damn sexy. And it was all unintended. She could tell a fake a mile away and Lucas Scott was definitely not one. He was bashful yet sure of himself, he displays an intelligence that kept her intrigued—okay maybe what kept her intrigued was the fact that the corner of his eyes crinkled as he laughed, or that the cerulean color of his eyes would sparkle as he spoke to her. Not to mention that the way he leaned into her, giving her all the signals that she was definitely looking for.

The attraction was only growing deeper the longer the two continued chatting.

Brooke sauntered off, her strut bold exuding a confidence she always owned as a young girl. Lucas quickly followed behind her, unable to help himself, very intrigued by this siren that called to him with every move she made.

She knew she had him as they walked out of the ballroom to the elevators. She turned to him after pressing the button for her floor after they boarded the lift and said, "Okay I think we both are aware of where this is going."

Lucas chuckled as he stood in the corner of the elevator then looked at her and found she was already looking at him with a very predatory look that was surprisingly sexy.

He smiled and revealed sexy deep dimples as well as even white teeth. "And what would that be…" He asked as his vivid blue eyes roamed over her entire form, eyefucking her thoroughly.

So thoroughly her panties were practically soaked. Damn... She cleared her throat then asked, "What are your feelings about…let's say promiscuous sex?"

He leaned against the wall then smirked, "Good question…I suppose it depends on the situation…"

"And that is?"

Lucas brought her into his body as he said, "Whether I see you again or if it's just for tonight?"

She looked up into his eyes and admitted, "I would like to be able to see you again…but who knows? This may very well be the only time we have. So what do you say? You up for a wild night?"

Brooke Davis had to be the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, she had a face of an angel; beckoning hazel eyes, lush mouth that was painted red, a light blush on her cheeks. Her body lithe yet full figured; nice full taut breasts, and swelling hips–her body the shape of an hourglass.

He knew he'd be a fool if he turned down what she was offering but he found himself saying, "The best things are worth waiting for. And something tells me you are definitely worth waiting for."

Brooke was taken aback by his response. After all they have been flirting all night long and she finally made her interest known and he was turning down.

Shrugging as if his decision didn't at all bother her Brooke smirked, mask firmly in place then said, "Okay… suit yourself. But here's a little preview of what you're turning down."

Brooke then stepped into his personal space and kissed him softly, slowly, just a brief taste. But then she found herself wanting more and began kissing him passionately.

Lucas groaned with surprise then pleasure and kissed her back, bringing her luscious body closer to him, his heart racing as he tasted her sweetness. He was lost in her, her mouth tasted so sweet and spicy. Her taste got sweeter and spicier when she melted into their kiss and he in turn melted into her.

His small groans of pleasure skyrocketed her desire tenfold, even more so when she pressed closer, her tongue tangling with his lustfully, Lucas hands grabbed her ass, dragging her even closer to his raging erection. It was at that point that the elevator halted to a stop and they were on her floor.

"Last chance…" she muttered alluringly after exiting the lift, her eyes twinkling with unabashed desire.

Licking his lips, savoring the flavor of her on his lips he smirked, "I'll be seeing you Brooke Davis." he said before allowing the doors to close

~x~

Rachel smirked as she watched Owen type up the email as she talked, jotting down each word exactly how she phrased it verbatim. Her hand rubbed his muscular shoulder proudly just as he sent it out to everyone's email.

"Annnnnnd done!" Owen said as he wheeled around to face her.

Rachel bit her lip and sexily straddled his lap, very pleased that he was so willing to participate so that she could be happy. "You're such a good man…you deserve a treat."

"I hope it's my favorite treat…" he said as he nibbled along the column of her neck.

"And what would that be?" she asked just before a moan slipped from her vocal cords, the sound sending vibrations against his lips.

His dark eyes sparkled as he beheld his gorgeous wife. He tucked a fiery strand of hair behind her ears as he powered into her soul. "You…just you."

Rachel's eyes misted. "This is why you're my favorite. I love you Owen."

"I know you do and I'm crazy in love with you Rach."

Owen leaned in and kissed her affectionately and as always with them it gave way into passion. Deciding to take the show elsewhere Owen lifted her up easily and carried her to their bedroom.

~x~

Just as Brooke was trying to get some shut eye after being nicely rejected by Lucas and totally abandoned by Haley (who by the way wasn't even picking up her phone!) was interrupted by a PING from her phone. She swiped up and read the email and knew instantly what it was. "Open if you dare…" she read softly. "Oh I dare…"
