AN: Woooo! Is it just me or do I smell a reconciliation in the works? Oh, that's right there is one and the owner of it is currently calling upon her fan fictional sisters to celebrate along with her! That's right, peeps. I'm back. Its been a long time since ( what with finishing all my other fics) and while I'm still trying to write the wedding scene of our favourite couple ( Lucas and Peyton of course) for TLA, this little beauty possessed my mind and I just couldn't let that idea pass up.
Excited yet? Hopefully. So all you guys know is that this chapter is yet again based on my favourite couple.
On that note. Its necessary you know that everything that's happened in the One Tree Hill world has happened except Lucas and Peyton are NOT together and they don't know each other which leads to Sawyer not being alive ( Aww, *tear*) and etc.
Moving on…. Let's start this beauty shall we?

"I am amazing!" Brooke squeals, jumping atop of her sleeping best friend.
"Amazingly annoying. Get the fuck off of me." Peyton snaps, eyes immediately darting over to the clock before groaning. "Fuck Brooke, it's 7 am in the morning."
Brooke shrugs the comment off with an eye roll. " I'm getting married in a month, P-Sawyer . A month."
"Should I punch you as a form of happiness or would you rather me slam the door in your face on your way out instead." Peyton grumbles sarcastically, frustrated by the fact that her best friend ( if she can call her that right now) woke her up to state the obvious and still hasn't gotten off her lap.
"Your scrawny ass doesn't have a date." Brooke points out hotly and Peyton groans.
Here we go again….
"You leave me and my scrawny ass out of this."
"Peyton, honey, you're my best friend and I love you." Brooke announces, wrapping her arm around her. " You've done amazing things and accomplished so many dreams.. I just… I just feel like your purpose in life just hasn't been accomplished yet."
"And you think a random guy is going to force that big bowl of purpose straight into my lap?" Peyton asks, incredulously.
"Not a random guy. The guy. The perfect guy. Who knows, he might just be your Julian."
"As great as that sounds, I'll have to pass, thanks. I'm fine with the Julian that your crazy ass is marrying."
"You know I didn't mean it like that." Brooke says, nudging her friend who laughs. " I just mean- what if this date is that perfect somebody who's the key to that happiness that your longing for."
" I am happy." Upon the disbelieving look on her face, Peyton rolls her eyes. " Really, I am."
"You could be better. Peyton, all I want is for you to be happy."
"And I've already repeated countless times that I'm more than that. Brooke, I may not be having wedding bells sound in the next five minutes. But I'm as happy as a 22 year old woman can be."
"Like I said. You can be better and with the wedding scene and that hot date and a few shots of Tequila. You won't be able to argue." Brooke retorts and Peyton rolls her eyes. " Seriously, Peyton. You haven't had sex in half a year!" She cries and Peyton narrows her eyes into slits.
"That was a low blow."
"The truth hurts, you bitch. Get used to it. But you've gotta admit that your romantic life (sex) has the worst track record ever. I mean, if you weren't my best friend and I wasn't so generous, I probably would've already ditched you."
Peyton sighs. " Okay, so maybe, your right. "
"I'm always right." Brooke responds cockily.
"Right." Peyton drawls dramatically, making Brooke pout. " Putting that aside. Say, I agree with this little idea of yours. Where are we going to find a hot guy, that isn't married and Atleast carries an IQ? All the guys out here are duds and I refuse to spend my time entertaining a hooligan."
L.A wasn't exactly the sharpest place to capturing a great man. Atleast one that hasn't already been in prison or carries a wedding band on his finger.
"That's where my awesomeness comes in." Brooke brags, smirking. " Lucas Scott."
"Lucas who?" Peyton snorts, eyes wide. " The writer."
Brooke grins, nodding in glee. "We met at that release party for unkindness last year and became instant friends since. I saw him again a couple weeks ago and just happened to slip up to him that a certain hot friend of mine who happens to love his work needs a date. Image of you was all he needed before he became a goner."
"Brooke!" Peyton cries out.
"What?" Brooke responds sheepishly. " Okay look, Peyton. The guy agreed, okay? Which means he obviously has some kind of attraction to you. I mean, what kind of guy agrees to be the date of someone he doesn't know?"
"Umm, him!" Peyton cries, stating the obvious.
"Yes, but that's totally besides the point." Brooke shrugs off. " Look, I have a good feeling about this. He's working that whole sexy broody look and your broody enough as it is so it's a perfect match. All I need is your pretty little face to agree to it and I can prove it to you."
Peyton sighs. "Well the guy is attractive and his work is like, amazing…."
"There's my girl! Peyton, I'm telling you, you won't regret this."
"I better not." Peyton mumbles.
"Good. Now get up."
"What? No."
"Believe me, I'm all for the natural look , but I doubt you want to meet broody boy like that." Brooke rasps, and Peyton's eyes go wide.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Peyton says lowly and Brooke avoids her best friend's eyes knowing the next string of words were one of which that would set the blonde into explosion.
"Umm, you kind of have a flight to Tree Hill in the next twenty minutes" Brooke rasps quickly, practically counting the minutes till she bombed.
"Tree-what?! You know what that doesn't even matter, I'm not going and that's final. I mean, Brooke how can you do something like that!"
"Look, an opportunity just flew out into your lap, okay? So just take a chance and grab it. Peyton, I have a really good feeling about this. I just- I feel like this guy could possibly be your soul mate and what better to get to know your soul mate then by spending a few weeks in his hometown."
"Oh, so now he's my soul mate. Brooke, I knew you were twisted but you've just reached a new high. You've met this guy, like three or four times, you barely know him!"
"Actually we've met up more than that and we talk on the phone practically every other day but that's beside the point. You know this guy, you've read his book, you know his fears and his flaws and I've got a feeling if you just opened yourself up to him, than maybe those wedding bells might come to you sooner than you think." Brooke concludes, proud of herself for she can already see Peyton becoming putty in her plans.
"You sure have a lot of 'feelings' ." Peyton grumbles and Brooke squeals.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, Peyton. You won't re-"
"Regret Schmet, yeah I know." Peyton says, finishing the other's line with an eye roll. " I'm going back to bed."
"Think again, best friend . Flight to Tree Hill in twenty minutes remember? Now up and at em', sunshine. It's going to be a long day." Brooke announces, pulling her best friend up and Peyton groans.
"You don't know how much I hate you right now."
"Love you too, P-Sawyer . Love you too. Now get moving." She cries, slapping her best friend's bottom before pushing her towards her bathroom.
Peyton sighs.
Right now.
She wished she could kill Brooke Davis.

"You did what?!" Haley cries, incredulously. " Lucas, how can you be so irresponsible?"
Lucas shrugs. " I dunno, maybe it reigns in the blood or something."
"Lucas, this is no joking matter, okay? This is far from a joking matter, this is serious. " Haley states firmly. " Its like you don't even have an ounce of a brain in there. Were you not thinking when you agreed to this?"
" Maybe I was, Maybe I wasn't. The result here is that she's staying here and that's all that matters. Deal with it."
"I can't deal with it, Lucas. You sold your house to a person you barely know, come to think of it, you don't." She cries, eyes wide.
" I didn't sell my house, I simply got a roommate for it." Lucas respond, making Haley roll her eyes.
"Dude, she can practically be some kind of psychopath planning to kill you in your sleep."
"Fine then, I'll lock my bedroom door." Lucas teases and Haley frowns, scoffing.
"Lucas Eugene Scott." Haley screams and Lucas cringes.
The full name.
Haley's motherly side is popping out again.
"Haley, Look. I know what I did wasn't the best of all decisions but I made a promise to a friend and I'm keeping it."
"And it's great that your so loyal enough to keep it, Lucas. Really, it is. But you shouldn't have made that kind of promise in the first place. Bad things can come from this, Lucas and you could be that person that gets hurt. You're my best friend and I'm just looking out for you."
"Are you sure its not the jealousy inside of you that's coming out because you've always been my roommate and someone else is replacing you." Lucas teases, raising a teasing eyebrow, laughing as Haley hits him in the back of the head.
"I've already got a roommate, thank you, who just happens to be my husband and I'll tell you right now he's a much better roommate than you could ever be."
"Ouch." Lucas gasps, placing a hand over his heart as he fakes tear. " That hurt, Hales. What the hell kind of a best friend are you?"
"A great one." She quips back, before turning serious. " One that just wants his best friend safe."
"Look, Haley. Maybe I didn't think clearly, maybe I had drank too many tequila's or something, I dunno. All I know is once I saw her, I just had to give in. There was something about her, something about her eyes that just made me feel like she's trapped or something and I guess, I just- I guess I just wanna be the one to fix that."
Haley eyed him as her best friend suddenly got a far away look in his eyes and had to smile at the deep amount of care that he already possessed for the girl. Even if he's never met her before. " You got all that from a picture?"
Lucas gets a tint of pink in his cheeks and Haley laughs. " Hey, your one to talk. I'm not the one that got married in high school." He points out with a raised eyebrow.
"We were in love." Haley defensively says back, smiling at the fact that they still are and have created a little blessing as a result of it.
"You didn't even know him that well back then." Lucas throws back and she rolls her eyes.
"Yeah, Yeah. Put a sock in it." Haley mumbles and Lucas laughs as he throws an arm around her shoulders.
"So? Do I have your approval?" Lucas proposes, waiting for her answer and she grins.
"Just be careful, okay?"
"I am and I will but thanks for caring, Hales. " He smirks. " You know, I would have gone along with it whether I had your approval or not, right? "
"Yeah I know, why do you think I agreed so quickly? I don't have the time and the effort to but heads with that stubborn head of yours."
"I happen to know you love this stubborn head."
"I do, okay? So try to keep it one piece." She muses with a raised eyebrow and he laughs.
"Noted. Now get out of 'ere, Scott." He says, holding the door for her as she leaves and she playfully glares at him before walking out that door.
Lucas sighs, throwing himself on his couch and digging into his pockets before flipping out that picture.
He looks over the whole of her face, memorizing each and every detail, looking over any kind of flaw that he could manage to see with his own two eyes.
He had been told she was imperfection and had flaws and was a bit of a disaster when wanted but in his eyes, he sees none of that.
In his eyes, he sees perfection.
And as corny as it is, he's getting butterflies in his stomach at the thought of just meeting her.
He hadn't know that secretly, the girl he was staring at was boarding her plane and was thinking the exact same thing.

So, this is the first chapter. The prologue. Leyton meet next chapter and I can't wait to write it, lol. This chapter kind of just wrote itself out and I'm pretty impressed with it actually, I hope you guys are too. This fic is actually inspired to me by the movie wedding date, hence the title. So if I've captured your attention then review, review, review and I'll get right on to working on it.
Ps. Are you guys watching One Tree Hill, the seventh season. I don't know, I mean I watched the promo's and it looks good this year but, I just can't get over the fact that my favourite couple is gone.
What do you think?
Tell me, your opinion matters.
Love, Aundrea.
