Introduction/Summary:

Peyton Sawyer has a plan and its finally time to put her plan into action. Can she pull off a surprise wedding in Tree Hill? Basically just a long piece of Leyton fluff.

Everything that has happened in the show up till now has occurred in my fictional world, except for the small scene in episode 6x05 where Peyton and Lucas choose a wedding date and site.

Disclaimers: First, I don't own One Tree Hill, its quotes, characters or storylines. I wish I did, but I don't. Actually, I don't own anything. So if it sounds familiar, it's purely coincidental and not intended to infringe on anyone's intellectual property.

Second, everyone says this but I promise, this is the very first time I've done something like this. I work at a writing intensive job but never fiction. It's a whole new world for me. But I've been reading submissions on this website for a while now and decided to give it a shot. Please let me know what you think!

Finally, if this story is similar to any other on the site, I apologize. I could promise you the ideas are completely my own but you have no reason to trust me. Suffice it to say, I've tried to review any stories that may seem similar but I haven't read everything yet. Any similarity to someone else's story is an accident, for which I apologize ahead of time.

Ok, I think that's it. Onward…

Chpt. 1--Scheming Star

Getting started on her first step, Peyton Sawyer began making the necessary calls. "Hey Hales. Listen, can you and Nate swing by TRIC today? Around four. I'll explain when you get here; I want to run something by you guys. Thanks Haley. Oh and don't tell Lucas, K? Bye."

"Ok P. Sawyer, who did you kill and where should we hide the body?" Brooke joined the others hanging out in the now-empty bar adjacent to Peyton's office.

Peyton looked around and responded, "Ha-Ha. Listen, I've been … Umm. Who do we know is the king of the grand gestures?"

"You mean, Mr. throw-your-best-friend-a-wedding-reception?" Haley asked.

"Ohhh…Mr. run-into-burning-buildings-and-save-lives," Brooke drawled.

"I know. Mr. lay-off-the-heart-pills-to-win-a-high-school-state-championship," was Nate's reply.

"Yes! Exactly! The boy who is always saving me."

At this point Nathan and Haley's son Jamie, a mirror image of the very man in question, looked quizzically around at the adults and asked, "Wait, who are you guys talking about?" Everyone laughed but Brooke, who, knowing her best friend better than anyone, was looking at Peyton intently. "What do you have in mind, P. Sawyer? I can see you're thinking."

"Well…" Peyton hesitated "I was thinking we could…I could… What about throwing a surprise wedding for Lucas?"

The whole group laughed while Haley interjected, "Umm. A surprise wedding? Don't you kind of need the groom's consent for that sort of thing?"

"No, seriously." Peyton was serious. "I've been thinking about this for a while. Since the plane ride home from Vegas actually. And you said it yourself, Haley. I mean he threw you your first reception without your participation. How much harder can it be to add the ceremony?" Everyone was looking at Peyton like she had gone completely crazy but she plowed on. "Ok, here's what I'm thinking. We plan a wedding at the River Court." This got Haley's interest. "Girls do most of the wedding planning anyway, right? And I'll have y'all to help."

Skills finally piped in, "Baby girl, how you gonna get my boy to the River Court in a suit?

"Well, in a month it'll be the day Luke first towed my car." Nathan rolled his eyes. "I know, I know. But come on. With all our possible anniversaries, shouldn't that day be ours? Isn't that the one that counts? Anyway. I'll tell Luke we are going out--fancy restaurant, fancy dress, etc. Then 'last minute' something will come up and I'll need to meet one of you for a non-emergency emergency or something. I'll call Lucas from the road, tell him to pick me up at the River Court. He arrives, someone explains the set up, and I show up to walk down the aisle. Poof. A wedding.

"Poof?" Nathan asked.

"Poof." Peyton nodded. "Come on guys. Its not fool proof but you have to admit its perfect."

"Definitely not fool proof," was Nathan's comment.

"And definitely perfect for Luke," Haley smiled. "It's a beautiful idea Peyton."

Brooke hooked arms with Peyton. "You know I'm in. And I'm so making the dresses. We are all going to look kick ass at the very least." Peyton flashed Brooke and Haley grateful smiles as everyone agreed to help and Jamie piped in with "a wedding at the River Court? Well, at least there's no bathrooms."
