Authors Note: Ok so im officially horrible, I haven't updated any of my stories FOREVER, even after I said that I would update in a few days. This really isn't an excuse but things have been busy on my end. I really should be updating one of my stories especially "ten rules for dating my teenage daughter", but I will soon don't worry (I know im starting to sound like a broken record)

So this is just a quick one-shot that came to me for some unknown reason.Also for this one shot you need to know (incase you can't figure it out) that Brooke and Lucas have never met, and Brooke grew up in New York.

ENJOY

Serendipity:

1. The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.

2. The fact or occurrence of such discoveries.

3. An instance of making such a discovery.

Brooke Davis was a freshmen in college, Brown hair, hazel eyes and the perfect figure. Every guy wanted her and every girl wanted to be her. She had a promising career in the fashion business and had just invested or as some would say gambled all her money in opening a small boutique on a secluded street in New York. She wanted to lease a space on a busy street that would get more foot traffic and probably more business but the lease would be way to much, so she had to settle for a not so good location with a building that needed a lot of TLC.

Lucas Scott was also a sophomore in college, Blonde hair, hazel eyes and muscles in all the right places. He also had a promising career but in writing. He had already written a novel "An Unkindness of Ravens."Tonight he would be doing a signing at a popular New York book store. He had been trying to write another novel for a year now, but hadn't been able to find the inspiration.

It was a cold December night on the streets of New York City, Brooke would guess way below freezing. But it had just snowed and she always liked to go for a walk after it snowed. It had a certain tranquility and peacefulness even in the big city. She walked into her favorite book store, she rarely bought books; she wasn't much of a reader, but she would come here and buy a something hot to drink from there little Coffee shop that joined with the Store, and just sit in a chair and think or read a magazine or something.

"What can I get you Brooke?" Andrew, the owner of the Coffee shop asked Brooke.

"I think tonight I will have hot chocolate, not really in the coffee mood." Brooke replied smiling, Andrew was a nice man. He had asked her out on a date once but she declined explaining that she didn't want to mess up possibly the best, most reliable friendship she had.

"Here, you go. On the house." Andrew said handing Brooke a large hot chocolate.

"Thank you, um can look at that" Brooke pointed to an astrology magazine. Andrew nodded and handed Brooke the magazine, telling her to keep it, it was "nonsense" anyways. Walking back into the Book store part of the building she sat in a oversized chair and started reading her horoscope.

"You will meet your match, but be separated. But don't worry fate will bring you back together" Brooke read aloud rolling her eyes and scoffing, "how lame" she thought, "it sounds like a first grader wrote it"

"What you don't believe in fate?" A deep unfamiliar voice questioned, causing Brooke to jump at the unexpected company.

"I believe in fate, I believe in all that crap. That doesn't mean that someday's it all seems a little juvenile" She replied, standing up, now staring into his ocean blue eyes. He nodded understandingly

"Im Lucas" He said reaching out to shake her hand.

"Hi, Lucas" She greeted, ignoring his hand and surprising him with a light peck on the lips.

"Your very forward aren't you?" He stated, still in shock from her forwardness.

"I guess, but why not right." She smiled as he nodded, "You look familiar, are you famous or something?" He laughed lightly

"You probably saw me when you came in, Im doing a book signing by the front door."

"Oh, so your Lucas Scott. The newspaper says that you will be a best selling author some day soon."

"Well I don't know about that, it's my first book so who knows how much it will sell. And I haven't been able to find inspiration for a second." he replied sadly

"When's your birthday?"

"What?" he questioned

"Your birthday, you know the day and month you were born." she couldn't help but roll her eyes at his confusion "I want to look at your horoscope, to do that I need to know what month you were born and the day."

"Oh, its December 25th" She raised her eyebrows at his response

"You were born on Christmas?" He nodded his head "That is so great!" She smiled excitedly

"Can I borrow a pen?" Lucas handed her, his pen and watched her scribble something down on the magazine before ripping a piece off and handing it to him.

"Your inspiration is right in front of you! Just remember to never give up." Lucas looked up at Brooke but she signaled him to continue reading. "Before you say goodbye to this beautiful brunette, don't forget to give her a kiss goodbye." He finished reading aloud

"So what do you think" Brooke questioned

"I think it sounds juvenile" he said using air quotes, before laughing "Im kidding, I will hold onto it forever" smiling when he saw her smile

"Good, well its getting late and I have to get up early tomorrow so I better go."

"Wait, I don't even know you name. I'd really like to see you again." Lucas said stopping her

"That's because I haven't told you." Brooke smirked

"How am I supposed to see you again?"

"Serendipity" she concluded

"What?"

"Serendipity, are these the books your signing?" Brooke asked picking up a book from the pile all the table near Lucas.

"Those Books have already been purchased, see they have names in them" Lucas said opening the cover of the book.

"That's the point." She took Lucas's pen once again. "Im gonna put my name in this book."

A lady walked up to Brooke and Lucas telling Lucas her name and asking if he had finished signing it. "Your Margaret?" The old woman nodded "Here's your book" Brooke handed the woman her book, and watched her walk away.

"How is that going to help me?" Lucas questioned yet again

"In months, days, years to come. If you come across that book with my name, then I think fate has something planned for us" She explained

"Okay, well here's a dollar" Lucas pulled out a dollar bill from his wallet "Im going to write my number on it, if you find it promise me that you will call me." Lucas said scribbling his number on the bottom of the bill.

"I promise, but what are you going to do with the bill?"

"I guess I will just put it in here." Lucas replied walking over to the counter at the coffee shop where a "tip jar" was.

"I have to go now Lucas."

"I guess you do, but before you go. I think Im supposed to give you a kiss."

"I think your right" Brooke smiled against his lips, the kiss not lasting long enough. She turned to leave, looking back at Lucas's face and how sad and hopeless it looked. "Serendipity" She reassured him.

"Serendipity"

A/N: Okay so that's it, im thinking I will do a sequel. It would be like 5 or so years in the future. Did they find there way to one another? Or not? Let me know what you think, and if I should continue!
