You found me - Nathan Scott

three

season 1 episode 3: are you true?

The Tree Hill Ravens are in the middle of a game, there's 18 seconds of the game left. Maddie is sitting with Keith and Karen watching the game nervously. Right now there's been called time out.

The game resumes and the suspense is back, Nathan has the ball but misses the hoop, the ball is then thrown to Lucas who is behind the 3-point line. Maddie is nervously bouncing her leg up and down.

Lucas throws the ball and Maddie sees everything in slow motion, the ball makes it into the hoop, and Maddie is out of her seat cheering for Lucas.

Maddie notices Nathan isn't in on the celebration after the buzzer goes off, he's just standing by himself looking disappointed and Maddie can't help but feel bad for him once again.

After the game Maddie and Lucas make their way to Karen's Cafe so they can meet up with her twin.

They make it just in time for Haley to flip the 'OPEN' sign to 'CLOSED.'

"12 points, 8 assists" Lucas begins to say only to be cut off by Maddie "and he made the game winning shot" Maddie almost shouts at Haley, she's totally hyper from the win.

Haley begins to smile so hard, Maddie thinks her face must hurt. She jumps into Lucas' arms and Maddie just watches with a smile on her face. Her and Lucas already celebrated his win with hugs.

"That is great right?" Haley asks.

"Yeah, it's all right," Lucas replies.

"I can't believe I had to work! Tell me about it" Haley demands jokingly.

"I told you I could have taken the shift" Maddie tells her younger twin sister, to which Haley just waves her hand at Maddie's face.

"Actually, the beginning wasn't so great, I ran into you-know-who" Lucas explains.

Maddie makes a grimace at that and says "Dan? Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Actually, I was thinking about checking out the burning boat," Lucas says to the twins.

"Ohhh" the twins say in unison, and Lucas asks "you guys want to come?"

"Well, I suppose we could be seen with you," Haley jokes.

"Let me just call home and tell them not to wait up" Maddie says as she walks over to the telephone.

She dials the number for home and waits for someone to pick up, when she gets the voicemail she says "hey mom, it's Maddie. Madelyn James, your daughter" she mimics drinking with her hand "listen, we're gonna go out after Haley's done with work, and we'll be home. Okay? All right, bye."

"Was our mom drinking?" Haley asks Maddie, Haley being slightly surprised at Maddie's hand gesture.

"Oh no! I got the machine" Maddie says while laughing at her sister's reaction.

"Come one, come all, to the Tree Hill annual Burning Boat festival. Burn your bad karma, bad luck, or bad choices and start anew. We'll be collecting items all week. Nothing is too big, too small, too tragic..." Maddie hears the announcer shout.

"Nice games, Lucas" a random boy tells Lucas who is walking through the tents with Maddie and Haley on each side.

"Hey, thanks" Lucas replies back.

"You are just blowing up" Haley says with excitement for their best friend.

"Well, yeah, man. I'm a big star now. You guys better hope I keep you around" Lucas jokes.
