TEXT: Nathan (voice over) : Stepping up, it's a simple concept. It basically means to rise above yourself to do a little more, to show you're something special. Something like this. It is involved in the gymnasium. Then, it is during a match where it marks. Nathan (voice over) : Lucas is gone, but that doesn't mean the season is over. As a matter of fact, I'd say it's just beginning. You might want to stay out of my way for a while. It marks Mouth : Another ferocious dunk by Nathan Scott and this crowd is on their feet! Nathan (to Haley) : You sure you don't want to sleep with me until the ceremony? I know I look pretty sexy right now. Haley laughs. Nathan (voice over) : Life's funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard. Like when you fall in love with someone but they forget to love you back. Like when your best friend and your boyfriend leave you alone. Like when you pull the trigger or light the flame and you can't take it back. Like I said, in sports they call this stepping up. In life, I call it pushing back.

Jake : So listen, this is all kind of last minute, but I actually sort of had plans today. Peyton : Oh, yeah, of course, you did, I'm sorry, I... Jake : No, it's just that Jenny and I, we usually spend
