Hey everyone! So I am back with another story... I was completely inspired by Hawaii 5-0 for this one, but it is all OTH! It will eventually become a Naley story, so you have that to look forward to right? I hope that you like it, however I am uber busy right now and won't be able to update as often as I would like. I will do my best to set aside time to write at least once a week. I also love those writers that give previews to those who review their stories, so I may start doing that. Please let me know what you think of this story... I am looking forward to writing more so I just need to stop being so busy, haha. Enjoy your day or night, or morning, depending on when you read this :)

Nathan Scott sat at his desk, typing away, and taking advantage of the momentary silence throughout the police station. He and his partner were currently between cases and he was catching up on some paper work.

"Nate!" He heard from across the room. "Hey."

"Luke, was yelling necessary? I mean the station is quiet after all." Nathan asked his partner. He and Lucas Roe have been partners for about two years now. Nathan was transferred from Charlotte to the Tree Hill Police Department. He was new to Luke's hometown and Lucas, being the friendly guy that he is, took him under his wing right away. Their friendship was instantaneous and has only helped them crack cases.

"Is most of the stuff I do necessary? No, but it is fun to bug you." Luke joked.

"Whatever. Was there a specific reason for you to come see me or was it just to annoy me?"

"Nate, the case is finished, the paperwork will still be there tomorrow. Let's go out, play some ball, maybe get a beer."

"Yeah, fine that sounds good."

"Alright, that's what I like to hear. Besides, normal 23 year olds do not spend their Friday nights filling out paperwork. You gotta let loose."

"Luke, I let loose."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. Besides, why do you care about the fact that I am sitting here on a Friday night?"

"Because, you are my best friend and I do not want you to be alone. Also, as my best friend our reputations coincide and if I am out partying while you are working it will even out to seem like we both just stayed home and watched TV."

"That is ridiculous."

"Ridiculous enough for you to just go with it?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Good, that's what I was hoping for because I have no idea what I just said."

Nathan just laughed and grabbed his coat before following Lucas out of the precinct. "Hey, let's just go get that beer. I'm not really in the mood to play ball right now." Nathan suggested.

"Sounds good to me. We both know that I would have won anyway."

"Whatever you need to tell yourself. So where are we going?"

"TRIC. Oh and I invited a few people."

"How did you know that I would agree to come hang out tonight?"

"I didn't, but I figured if you didn't I would have backup."

"Alright, thinking ahead. Who's going to be there?"

"Well there's Jake, Peyton, and Haley. Apparently Hales is bringing an old friend though so that makes six of us."

"Boyfriend?" Nathan asked.

"What?"

"You said Haley is bringing an old friend, is it a boyfriend?"

"I don't know. Why? Are you jealous?"

"What? No. Haley's a coworker. I mean she's a friend, but I'm not jealous. Gee Luke, way to jump to a conclusion there."

"Hey, I'm just saying. You were acting jealous. I call 'em like I see 'em."

"Whatever, can you just cool it?"

"Sure Nate, I can be cool." Luke said.

About 10 minutes later they arrived at the bar and walked up to the table with their coworkers. Jake and Haley are the remaining members of Nathan and Luke's team and Peyton is the morgue practitioner. They didn't recognize the other girl at the table, but Lucas wanted to change that.

"Nate, Luke, finally more testosterone at the table." Jake said and bumped fists with both of them. "What took you so long?"

"Well Nate was working." Luke answered.

"On Friday night while we had plans?" Peyton asked.

"Yeah, well I wanted to catch up on paperwork. Besides, I wasn't aware we had plans." Nathan said.

"Well, I'm glad you could join us, boss." Haley smiled. "Now both of you can meet my best friend. Nathan, Lucas this is Brooke Davis."

"Nice to meet you." Nathan said and shook her hand.

"Likewise." Brooke responded and smiled.

"Hi." Luke smiled.

"Hi." She replied. He sat down next to her and Nathan took the remaining seat between Jake and Haley.

Nathan noticed that Haley was smiling and, without thinking, smiled too. Haley James is something special. She is just starting out, but even though she is a rookie, Nathan knows that she's going to be great. She has a commanding presence and can get anyone to tell the truth.

"So, boss, what are you going to do tomorrow?" Haley asked Nathan, bringing him out of his thoughts.

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah, we still have the day off right?"

"Oh, yeah, we do. I don't really know what I'm going to do, probably just hang out and catch up on some sleep." He answered honestly. He doesn't get much sleep during cases and having just finished a case he needed some time to close his eyes and rest. "What are you going to do?"

"While sleeping sounds amazing, I'm jealous that you are doing that by the way, I am going to help Brooke move in. She just moved back here and I'm going to unpack with her." Haley answered.

"Not just you Hales. Luke here just offered to help me move in." Brooke smiled.

"Is that right?" Nathan asked, looking over at Luke.

"Yes. It is." Luke answered. "What's wrong with that?"

"Nothing is wrong with it, I just know you."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"That in the whole time we have been partners, the most you have done on a day off is drive to my apartment to watch a game and eat. Usually you stay home and do nothing." Nathan said, giving him a knowing look.

"Well, things change. Besides, I do more than that. Once, the group of us went to that big fancy party." Luke said and Nathan didn't even try to hide his smirk. It was obvious to everyone in the bar that Luke liked Brooke and Nathan was doing his best to bug him about it.

"Luke, that was part of a case." Jake said.

"Yeah, but Peyton was there too and she doesn't do field work." Lucas answered.

"She came as my date. Do you not remember this? We didn't want it to look like we were a bunch of bachelors hitting up a party so I went with Peyton and you went with Hales." Jake explained.

"Oh, yeah, that was a fun night." Luke said.

"Yeah, for you guys. You all got to hang out with each other while I had to go hit on cougars." Nathan grimaced. "Those old ladies are crazy too. They are not shy."

Luke just laughed at him while he visibly shook at the memory. "That is what you get when you are in charge of the group Nate. You have to do the hard stuff while we watch your back."

Nathan just shook again and groaned as everyone laughed.

"Isn't that the night you two got together?" Haley asked, looking at Peyton and Jake.

"Yeah. That was a good night." Jake grinned and Peyton just playfully rolled her eyes and shoved his shoulder.

"You guys are so entertaining." Brooke grinned. "You have no idea how excited I am to be here now. We are going to have so much fun!"

Everyone just laughed and nodded.

"You know, if we all help you unpack it would go so much faster." Haley suggested.

"I can't ask that of you guys. We just met." Brooke said.

"Technically you didn't ask, Haley just offered up our services." Peyton laughed. "Besides, we wouldn't mind helping out. Jake and I will be there for sure."

"Thanks guys. What about you Nate? You up for some heavy lifting?" Brooke asked.

"If I don't sleep through my alarm." He joked.

"Come on. I'll buy everyone lunch."

"Well if you put it that way. I'm not one to turn down free food." Nathan smiled.

"Speaking of free food, which one of you took the donut off my desk this morning?" Haley asked, looking at Nathan, Lucas, and Jake. Nathan and Jake both said that it wasn't them, but Lucas avoided eye contact.

"Luke! I went to file a paper, walked back and my donut was gone. I had been looking forward to my celebratory snack." Haley whined.

"Sorry, but it just looked so good. It was by the way." He replied.

"How about instead of a celebratory snack we have a toast." Nathan suggested and lifted his glass, watching as everyone else did the same. "Haley, congratulations on your arrest. It was a big break and I am proud to say that you made the final arrest. Good work team, but this one goes to Hales."

"To Haley!" They all said and drank.

"I must say that I was so happy to put that scumbag away. He was just so annoying, not to mention disgusting." Haley said.

"Seriously and he was hitting on you non-stop." Jake said.

"Hales, you know, I would have just looked the other way if you decided to 'accidentally' trip and hit his face." Nathan said, smiling.

"Why didn't you tell me that earlier?" She asked, smiling back at him.

"Wait, he had a huge bruise on his face though, how did that happen?" Peyton asked.

"Teamwork." Nathan said.

"Nathan was in pursuit, so I waited around the corner and tripped the perp. He face planted, it would have been hilarious if he hadn't been a criminal." Haley explained.

"Yeah, that took the funny right out of it and made it awesome." Lucas laughed.

They continued to laugh and tell stories until Peyton pulled Jake away to dance.

"Brooke, do you want to dance?" Luke asked.

"You dance?" She asked.

"Not normally, and not very well, but I can make an exception." He replied.

"Well, in that case, I would love to." She said and took his hand, leaving Haley and Nathan sitting at the table.

"This should be interesting." Nathan commented, laughing.

"What?" Haley asked.

"Have you seen Luke dance before?"

"No, why?"

"Wait for it." They sat there, watching and waiting until they could see Brooke and Luke dancing together. It took Haley a second to realize what Nathan was talking about. Lucas had a very unique way of dancing that was hard not to laugh at. So they both sat there, laughing, as they watched their friends dancing.

Once they'd calmed down a little, Nathan decided to start a conversation.

"So how long have you known Brooke?"

"Since we were in high school. I mean I guess we'd known each other since we were kids, but we became good friends our freshman year and it just stayed that way. We're BFFs."

Nathan just laughed.

"What?"

"BFFs?"

"Haha…yeah. Brooke and I always joke about that because we know we are going to be best friends forever and we want to sound cheesy."

"Well, you succeeded."

"Shut up." Haley laughed. "Like you and Luke don't say stupid stuff all the time."

"I don't, and I just laugh to make Luke think his stupid jokes are funny."

"Sure."

"Ok, fine I guess you caught me."

They shared a smile and went back to watching everyone dance.

"Alright, well if I am going to help Brooke move tomorrow, I think I am going to head home now. I need all the sleep I can get. Tell everyone I'll see them tomorrow. Oh, and Haley, have some fun and celebrate tonight. You deserve it." Nathan said, standing up and putting his jacket on.

"Thanks boss, I'll see you tomorrow." She smiled and watched him walk away. She turned back around to see everyone walking back to the table. "Hey guys, you looked like you were having fun, especially you Luke."

"You are just so funny." Luke said and went to his signature brooding face.

"Don't listen to her Broody. She is just jealous, besides I'm not complaining." Brooke said, winking at him.

"Broody?" Jake, Peyton, and Haley all asked at once, while Luke smiled at Brooke.

"Yeah, it's his new nickname. I like it." She explained.

"Me too." Luke commented. Jake, Peyton, and Haley began laughing but Brooke and Lucas were sucked into their own little world and didn't notice.

"Oh, I am so texting Nathan right now to tell him. He is going to be so angry he missed it." Haley smiled, pulling out her phone.

From now on you need to call Lucas "Broody". She sent and put her phone on the table.

"Where is Nate anyway?" Peyton asked.

"Oh, he said that he wanted to get some sleep if he was going to come help Brooke move tomorrow." Haley answered and picked up her phone that was going off.

Ok, why?

That is his new nickname, courtesy of Brooke. He claims to like it. We will see how much once we all start using it.

I like the way you think Hales. Tomorrow is sounding like it is going to be fun.

You bet. See you then. With that, she put her phone down and came back to the conversations going on around her.

"So, how did they basically get together in less than an hour?" Jake asked, pointing at Brooke and Lucas who were once again dancing.

"Brooke has that affect on people. She once dated a guy that told her he loved her on the first date." Haley laughed.

"Interesting. Why did she continue to date him?" Peyton asked.

"She didn't want to be mean, so she went on about three dates with him then broke it off. Plus he gave her a gift every day." Haley explained.

"Smart girl." Peyton replied.

They continued to talk and laugh for a while until Brooke and Lucas walked back over.

"Hey look, the stars of 'Footloose' decided to take a break." Jake joked. "You guys ready to leave?"

"Sure." Luke said. "What time do you want us there tomorrow?

"Um, like around 8:00." Brooke replied.

"Oh, that is before Nate's alarm clock even goes off on his days off." Luke said.

"We could call him to wake him up." Jake suggested.

"He will just sleep through the call." Luke said.

"Ok, brilliant idea. How about we all go over to his house to wake him up in the morning? I mean you have a key Luke so we might as well. I can make breakfast and then we can just go move everything around after that." Haley said.

"Actually, that is a really good idea. I like it." Luke said and everyone nodded their agreement.

"Ok, so Brooke and I will meet you guys there at like 7:20?" Haley asked. They all agreed and said their goodnights, ready to have some fun the next day.

Let me know what you think! :)
