Pilote « Somebody That I Used To Know »

5.45 pm, Tree Hill Airport

Today, the weather was fine to Tree Hill. The sun shone despite some clouds marching gradually. People flocked to the streets of the city, enjoying the gardens, parks and many were children holding a glass in their hand. It looks as if Tree Hill was fine. But Tree Hill was not well, Tree Hill was in mourning.

At the airport, a huge crowd. Among those who were leaving, those who were coming, those who said goodbye and those who were waiting the return of loved ones, it was quite difficult to walk among the crowd.

Arrived for ten minutes, the James-Scott family looked forward to the Sawyer-Scott family. Indeed, the two families had not seen each others for many years, since the departure of Lucas, Peyton and their daughter in Italy. Apart from the return of Lucas when Nathan has disappeared they had not had the opportunity to meet. That said, Haley wrote regularly to Lucas. She thought a lot to her best friend, and she could not ask for more than to see him back to Tree Hill for good, she hoped. She often thought of Peyton, the one who, over time, became one of her best friends.

Suddenly, while Haley was daydreaming, she heard her daughter Lydia exclaim
"They're here!"

And she was right, the little Lydia Bob Scott, finally... She had just celebrated her sixteenth birthday, and looked like more and more to her mother. Time passed so quickly in Tree Hill. The new generation had nothing to envy to the previous one.

"Lydia Bob Scott, my favorite niece!" said Lucas, pleased to find his family.
He was accompanied by Peyton, who had not returned to Tree Hill for over fifteen years. She had not changed very much. At the age of 39, Peyton Scott was still beautiful. She could not help but take Haley in her arms and to express her joy that she had to find her.

"I missed you so much." whispered Peyton, kissing by turns Lydia, Nathan and... Jamie.

What about Jamie ? The little boy with the golden hair had grown up. Now aged 22, he studied law at the University of Tree Hill. Very attached to his "Uncle Lucas", he kept rethinking their last meeting. In fact, the last time they had seen each other, his father had just disappeared. Although he was delighted to see his uncle and aunt, the memory saddened him every time he thought about it. He could not imagine life without his father, and could not bear the pain of his mother if Nathan had never returned home.

"Glad to see you, little brother. " declared Lucas hugging his brother Nathan.
"Excuse me, I couldn't come last time, something cropped up... " said Nathan jokingly.

It was the first time that Lydia and Jamie saw their cousin Sawyer again. They had all grown so much, and were no longer children. When Jamie and his sister had stayed with their uncle, Sawyer was three years. Now she was 17 and became a beautiful young woman. She also looked like her mother. She was thin and wore a leather jacket. Her blonde hair fell on her frail shoulders. Sawyer was the spitting image of Peyton.

Lydia immediately felt close to her cousin, she was eager to make her discover the city. Indeed Sawyer left Tree Hill when she was a few weeks, she had no memory of where she was born.

"I think you forgot to say hello to someone!" said Haley with a smile. She pulled away of the stroller behind her, from which she took an adorable little boy.

"But you never stop! " exclaimed Lucas laughingly advancing to the newborn, happy to see that the Scott family grew again.

"I introduce you Alan Wayne Scott, wise as his mother and boisterous as his father."

Nathan looked at his wife, and found her absolutely radiant, and this after 20 years of marriage and three children. He did not expect to have another child, and it was not planned. But when he heard the news, he felt invaded by a wave of joy, that can be a father again.

It is a role that is particularly dear to his heart because he wanted to make his family happy. He wanted to be a good father, to be the father he had not. At least, not to be the father he had. Nathan sometimes thought of his father, who died shortly after having rescued his son from the hands of Dimitri and his accomplices during his trip to Europe. Dan Scott has left Tree Hill in peace, and everyone was better since, although Jamie often thought of his grandfather, from whom he was very close.

The whole family hurried to leave the airport. Lucas, Peyton and their daughter were staying in the house of Nathan and Haley for some time.

In reality, they did not know how long they would stay in Tree Hill. But that was not the issue for the moment. They came to an important event, where Lucas wanted to be present. Indeed, a few days ago he received a call from Nathan, who told him that their former coach Whitey Dhuram had died.

For nearly 90 years, former sports lived alone in his country house and was terribly eager to be with his wife Camilla. Lucas felt both sad and proud to have known such a kind and generous man. He was keen to attend the funeral of Whitey. Those funeral took place the next morning. This news had saddened the entire city of Tree Hill, many felt concerned. The coach had provided a lot to everyone, not only athletes. One thing was certain, he would be buried as a hero.

Davis Baker's House

"Julian !" Exclaimed Brooke in the bathroom. "Hurry up, we're going to be late at Nathan's home."

For these large homecoming, Nathan and Haley had invited their friends Brooke and Julian. Thus, Brooke was going to see her best friend Peyton. She was a little anxious because she wondered if they were as close as before. Peyton could not attend the wedding of Brooke and Julian, Sawyer fell ill, she had to stay in Italy to care for her daughter. Although Brooke is understanding, she deeply regretted Peyton on her wedding day. Would they still be best friends ? Would they still be close ?

"Rectification, it's been ten minutes I'm waiting for you Brooke. You will make us late by dint of admiring yourself in the mirror. You'll end up damaging it. " declared Julian, amused by the attitude of his wife.

For almost 40 years, Brooke Davis Baker had not really changed. Her taste in fashion remained intact.

She was gradually losing confidence in her because of her apparent wrinkles. Fortunately, her husband was there to remind her every day how lucky he was to have married a woman as wonderful as Brooke Penelope Davis.

"Boys ? You ready ? Your mother is almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown. We're leaving in five minutes !"

Jude and Davis, Brooke and Julian's twins, were no longer little boys. Today, they were handsome young men of 16 years. In a few days they would be in their penultimate year of high school.
Jude looked like his father, he was very ambitious and was destined to "showbiz" as he enjoyed to call it. Julian made fun a little bit of his son's wish and often told him that it was not a career. But he was satisfied by the desire to succeed of his children.

In his opinion, it was important that his children can achieve their dreams and be happy. As for Davis, he looked like his mother. Maybe because his name was her family name, as she influenced him so much. Davis was a reserved teenager but a very creative young man.

"It's gonna be the party tonight!" said Jude, ending to comb his hair.
"Well it's just a family meal..." replied Davis, with a shrug.
"What, you don't want to see beautiful girls ?" asked Jude, raising his eyebrows.
"You're talking about Sawyer and Lydia ? They are like sisters to us !"
"You're just a killjoy anyway. Tonight's the night."

The conversation stopped immediately when Brooke opened the door to announce their departure.

Scott's house, 8.30 pm

Haley had prepared a gorgeous and large table to welcome all guests she cherished so much. She was talking cheerfully with Peyton in the kitchen, and did not know where to start. She had much to tell her. Peyton was helding Wayne in her arms marveling at her nephew.

"Do you intend to form a basketball team ?" asked Peyton, laughing. She was making faces at Wayne.

"It wasn't planned, but I've no regrets. The kids have grown, the house was a little empty so we had to repopulate, if you know what I mean. " joked Haley, taking care of the baking of the roast. "Brooke and Julian will be here soon."

"It's been so long since I haven't seen Brooke. I feel like I'm going to cry !" confessed Peyton, remembering the many moments they have spent together 20 years ago.

Suddenly the doorbell rang.
