So Nathan and I recently became engaged. Can I just say this… YAY ME! I've realized that everything gets put into perspective when you get asked that question. You picture right then and there what your life is going to be like. All I saw was me and Nathan, always smiling, always together. We seemed happy in my premonition.

I sighed as I walked around the kitchen. I had no idea what I was going to make for dinner. Anything that I do make has to be enough for 7 people, as well. My damn friends never go home!

"Tutorgirl, where are you?" I heard a voice shout after the door slammed shut.

I smiled. "In the kitchen, Brooke," I shouted back. Ah, my best friend Brooke. She could drive me crazy, but I love her all the same.

"There you are!" she said. I turned to see that she brought Peyton as well. "How is the bride to be?"

I grinned. "Hey, girlies, I'm just fine. What have you two been up to?" I decided to make spaghetti for dinner and I began the preparations.

"We just got together and we were looking for you!" Peyton explained.

"Yeah, we want to know when you want to get started on all the planning!" Brooke squealed.

I looked over at them. "You guys know I can't choose between you two for my maid of honor, right? So, I want you two to decide. Just let me know after you fight it out, okay?" I asked and they laughed.

"Haley, you won't hurt our feelings if you choose one over the other," Peyton said and put an arm around my shoulder. "The other's just going to be your bridesmaid. No big deal!"

Brooke nodded. "Yeah, it doesn't matter," she said, but I knew there was something she wanted to say.

"What is it, Tigger? Just tell us," I said.

"I want to be your maid of honor!" she blurted out then covered her mouth. "Okay, that wasn't supposed to come out like that!" I looked at Peyton and we immediately began to laugh. "Guys, it's not funny! I didn't mean to blurt that out! I'm sorry, Haley! Just forget I ever said that!"

"Brooke, do you really want to be maid of honor?" Peyton asked. Brooke just nodded. "You deserve it, Brooke. You've helped Haleybub get through so much. Hell, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be standing here with you guys! You are definitely deserving of the title. I won't fight you for it."

Brooke squealed and hugged Peyton. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Seriously P. Sawyer, I love you! Ahh, I love weddings! I can't wait now!"

I shook my head, laughing. "You two are something else. I knew you would hit it off!" I exclaimed and they smiled at me. "Now, if you two don't mind, I have dinner to make. So, either make yourselves useful in here or stop distracting me!"

Brooke scoffed. "You wouldn't care if Nathan were in here bugging you!"

I blushed slightly. Peyton made kiss faces at me. Brooke turned her back to me and rubbed her arms up and down her back, seeming as if she was making out with someone. "You guys are terrible!" I exclaimed. "Get out of my kitchen!"

They laughed, but didn't leave. The front door opened and then closed. "Speaking of lover boy!" Peyton said, loud enough for the person at the door to hear.

Lucas entered the room. "Was someone talking about me?" he asked. "Hope it was all good things!"

I laughed. "No, we weren't talking about you, Luke," Brooke said. "Haley's just having nasty thoughts about Nathan and we were commenting on it."

I glared at her. "So you were talking about me," Nathan said, entering the room. "Were they good thoughts, babe?"

I smiled and walked over to him, kissing him soundly. "They are just teasing me for no reason! They're mean to me!" I pouted.

He smiled and kissed me again. "Anything I can do to help?" he whispered.

I nodded and pulled him down to kiss me again. "Sheesh, you guys are hornier now that you're engaged! Come up for air sometime!" Brooke exclaimed.

I broke the kiss and glared at her. I moved away from Nathan and back to the food situation. "Look at what you did, Brooke," Nathan whined. "Don't you guys ever go home?"

Peyton laughed. "Why do we need to leave, Nathan? Need to get a little action?"

He sighed. "I'm going in the living room. Don't be mean to my baby," he said and kissed my forehead before leaving.

"Yeah, I'm with him," Lucas said. He kissed Brooke and followed Nate.

"Well, it's just us girlies again," Brooke said.

"What do you need us to do, Haley?" Peyton asked.

I thought about it for a second. "Why don't you guys make a big salad? I'm making spaghetti so whatever else you guys what to have is good," I replied and went back to cooking.

There was a knock at the door followed by Nathan and Lucas yelling, "Come in!" The door opened and closed.

"I bet it's Jake," I said. "He's the only one that KNOCKS anymore!"

They laughed. "I bet you're right," Peyton said.

Wouldn't you know, Jake walked into the kitchen followed by Jenny. "Hey Jake, Jenny, how are you?" I asked, bending down to her level.

"Hi Auntie Haley," she said, smiling brightly. "How are you?"

I smiled back. "I'm great now that my favorite niece is here!" I exclaimed and brought her into my arms.

She giggled. "I'm your only niece, silly!" she replied.

I kissed her forehead. "I know, but you're still my favorite! Okay, well us girls are making dinner, do you want to help us?"

She nodded. "Yeah!"

Jake smiled. "You're really good with her, Haley. You're all she ever talks about!"

I laughed. "That's because I'm always her babysitter. That and she loves me! I'm the worlds greatest aunt, you know."

He laughed. "I'll be in the living room with the guys," he said and left.

Jenny ran over to hug Brooke and Peyton. "I almost thought you forgot about me, Jenny Benny," Brooke said.

"I didn't forget bout you!" she replied.

"You like Aunt Haley best, huh?" Brooke asked, holding out a candy bar.

Jenny's eyes grew. "No! Auntie Brookie Cookie is da best!"

Peyton and I both looked over. "Brooke!" we exclaimed.

"No bribing!" I yelled.

"You'll ruin her dinner, Brooke," Peyton added.

Brooke sighed and put the candy away. "Okay, okay, after dinner I'm your favorite aunt," she muttered.

Jenny crossed her arms. "Fine, until den, Auntie Haley, do you need some help from ya special helper?" she skipped over to me.

I smiled. "I sure do, sweetie," I replied. I let her stir the pots, watching her carefully to make sure she didn't burn herself. She even helped Peyton with the salad since Brooke had left to sit with the boys.

About 20 minutes later we called them into the kitchen to eat. "Wow, babe, everything looks great," Nathan said to me.

I shook my head. "Don't thank me! Jenny did all the work! I was just supervising," I said and everyone thanked Jenny.

She grinned at them. "Aunt Haley, where are you sitting?" she asked.

I pointed to the seat next to Nate. "I'm sitting right there."

"Can I sit between you and mommy Peyton?" she asked.

I smiled down at her. "I would love that, Jenny," I replied and we all sat down.
