All This Time
It has been four years since the gang graduated from Tree Hill High and went off to college. They are now all back and ready to pursue with the careers of their choice, but only after Christmas holidays, of course!
Brooke Davis arrived at the airport, where she knew her very best friend Peyton Sawyer was waiting for her.
"Brooke!" Peyton said, after spotting her.
The two girls rushed over to each other and gave each other a big tight hug.
"Oh my god, P. Sawyer I missed you like crazy!" Brooke said.
"And I missed you like crazy, B. Davis!" Peyton said, laughing.
"How are things with Luuuuucas?" Brooke asked.
"Oh, we broke up. It's been like a year Brooke, c'mon keep up!" Peyton said, hiding her sadness on the issue.
"Aw I'm sorry. But this means we're both two hot, single LEGALLY adults ready to mingle!" Brooke giggled.
"Same old Brooke!" Peyton laughed and rolled her eyes playfully.
Meanwhile…..
Lucas arrived at the airport at the other end of the city and was greeted by Nathan, Haley and their son Jamie.
"Luke!" Haley said as the couple spotted Lucas.
"Hey!" Lucas gave them both a hug. "God, it's been too long."
"Yeah, Midge and I think it's time for Jamie to finally meet his godfather and uncle!" Nathan said.
"Midge?" Lucas asked.
"Oh that's Haley because she is only 5'!" He teased.
They all laughed.
"So Lucas, how are you and Peyton?" Haley asked.
"We broke up a year ago.. Oh my god look how big Jamie has got!" Lucas said avoiding the subject.
"I'm sorry." Haley said.
"Nah, Hales its okay. Umm... is she in Tree Hill for the holidays?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure both Brooke and Peyton are here, living in a new apartment near where Brooke's wants to open her store."
"Great! It'll be just like high school." Nathan said enthusastically.
"Yeah...just like high school." Lucas said, not as happily as Nathan.
CHAPTER 2
Brooke Davis ran to her best friend and room mate's bed, very early in the morning.
"Peyton! Wake up, I just got an idea!" she said, perkily.
"Broooke, I'm sleepy." Peyton said, not too happy.
"C'mon you'll love it!" Brooke said.
Peyton sat up and said, "Okay, okay. What is it?"
"Let's have a Christmas party! With legal adult drinking!" Brooke said.
Peyton laughed, "Sounds fun!"
"Yeah it could be like a sleepover..with guys! Plus Mouth, Bevin, Skills, Lucas, Nathan, Haley and everyone are in Tree Hill- at the same time! I wish Rach could come but you know her family, doing rich things with their richness!"
"Actually I don't know, Brooke-"Peyton began.
"Peyyyyyytonnn, why!?" Brooke cut her off.
"Well we would have to invite Lucas; won't that be a little awkward?" Peyton asked.
"No don't worry, I'll make sure you guys don't have to face each other the whole night, I promise!" Brooke said.
Peyton eventually gave in and the two girls were jumping up and down with excitement.
Meanwhile…
At Nathan and Haley's house, the pair got caught up with Lucas.
"Luke, I loved your book. I seriously can't believe you're so talented and never told us!" said Haley.
Lucas laughed. "Well the book is inspired by all of you guys… Peyt-- ahem My mom, Keith, Nathan, Skills, You, Brooke and even Dan!
The telephone rang.
"Hello?" Nathan answered.
"Hey Nate!" Brooke said excitedly.
"Brooke, I'd recognize your voice anywhere!" Nathan said.
"Who wouldn't? …Just kidding! I just called to let you know that you're all invited to mine and Peyton's Christmas party! Christmas Eve, our apartment, bring champagne."
"By "you're all" you mean…?" Nathan asked.
"You, Lucas, Jamie and Haley!" she replied.
"Okay...oh wait if there is champagne there is no Jamie." said Nathan.
"Fine, no Jamie." Brooke said. "Well gotta go, missed ya Nate!"
Nathan hung up and was in a very happy mood, like he always was in after talking to Brooke Davis
