"Marriage is the perfection of what love aimed at, ignorant of what it sought" –Emerson

"Red Sky at night sailors delight, red sky at morning sailors warning" Lucas Scott whispers to Brooke.

"Since when are you a sailor Lucas Scott"

It was one of those sunsets where everyone wished they could be an artist and paint the sky, and just keep it there looking so beautiful forever. Brooke Davis had no idea that tonight was the night. He had the ring in his pocket and less then 10 minutes away was their new oasis waiting just for them.

"Hey Brooke before the sun goes down can I show you something"

"You are soo brooding right now lucas scott, but what could possibly be better than this sunset"

She frowns at the thought of leaving this sunset. Inside Lucas has fallen apart. She isn't suppose to be sad, dammit lucas make her happy. It was killing him he just wanted to ask her right there right now.

Lucas takes Brooke's hand and leads her down to his car where from there on he has everything planned.

"The car, Lucas what is going on?"

"Come on Brooke just trust me ok?"

Just a few months ago Brooke had described the perfect life. "Living on the water always seemed like the perfect life. Everyone seems so laid back even if they are really rich and have really screwed up lives you know? I can imagine it now you and me living on the water in a really big white house with blue shutters. With a hammock and one of those gazebo things with a view that everyone will be jealous of." Right there Lucas had promised himself that he would find that house and make it theres and make it just like she had said.

That time was now. Suddenly Brooke realized what this was. This was the house she had always wanted. There was no for sale sign.

"Lucas how many times have I told you that I don't want you stealing houses!" She laughs.

"I didn't steal it Brooke, I built it"

He got out of the car and let her out. Always a gentleman that Lucas Scott. He brought her around to the back where there was a dock, hammock and a gazebo just like she wanted. He sat her on a bench facing the ocean.

"You used to scare me Brooke when we first met. There was always something about you that just pulled everyone in. Everyone has always been drawn to your personality. They saw the outside of you fun and happy. Nobody knew your inside troubles. You just went on everyday being your happy self. I know I hurt you that long time ago with Peyton but after we got back together you really let me in you know? I got to know who you were. The real Brooke Davis. You were so much more than anyone thought. You are amazing and I love you, I really do. That's why I want to be with you forever and for always, Brooke Elise. Will you marry me?"

He pulled out a ring from a pink box. This ring was made just for her; he knew it the second the jeweler pulled it out. A slightly pink 2 and ½ carat princess cut diamond was set in the middle with 2, 1 carat diamonds on the side. It summed what she was; unique and beautiful.

Her green eyes sparkled and her smile lit up like a firefly.

"Of coarse!"

She kissed him as he put on her ring. She held it up to the last of the sunset. She put her arms around his neck and hugged him.

"How did you possibly keep this a secret from me? This house - you must have been dying to tell me!"

"You really have no idea Brooke, but do you really like it?"

"To really love it I've got to see the bedroom cuz' you know we spend a lot of time there" She laughs.

"Maybe you never really did change, but I'm not complaining"

Lucas led her to the second floor. He opened the door to their new bedroom. It was painted a dark aqua. The bed had a canopy that draped from ceiling to floor.

"Does it pass the Brooke Davis bedroom test?"

"You have no idea . . . "

She grabbed his hand and walked over to their bed tripping on a Snapple bottle.

"A Snapple bottle Lucas? How romantic"

Lucas' cheeks turn red

"Hey give me a break I did all this decorating last night a guy gets thirsty you know"

"Wait I thought you were playing basketball last night?"

"I haven't played basketball for 3 months believe it or not, I've been here."

"Well I guess I'm just going to have to pay up for that aren't I?"

She pushes him onto the bed and starts to kiss him, as they get into it she pulls off his sweatshirt. One by one those clothes come off until Brooke's in her bra and underwear and he's in his boxers. They slip under the covers. . .

3 hours later Lucas wakes up to Brooke singing softly . . .

"Just another day that started out like any other just another guy who took my breath away, then he turned around he took me down, just another day that I had the best day of my life"

"Brooke? Since when do you sing?"

"Lucas! I'm sorry did I wake you up?"

"It's ok"

"I was so excited I couldn't stand the silence"

"But please no singing from you Lucas that would totally ruin it"

"Trust me I think you would run away if I tried to sing"

Brooke cuddled up next to him and they fell asleep together again.
