AN: So, in season 5 we all know that Lucas believes Lindsay is the one for him. But what if Peyton found someone much better then Lucas? What happens when the guy is actually Neal Caffrey? (BTW: The characters may be OC but it will fit with the storyline and Neal will not be a con man but he will be an FBI agent instead) So, here it goes:


Chapter One

"PEYTON ELIZABETH SAWYER!" Brooke Davis shouts for her best friends as she enters her home.

"BROOKE PENELOPE DAVIS!" Peyton teases Brooke as she walks to the living room to find her best friend staring at her with an envelope in her hands. "What's that?"

"Well, this right here, missy, is the invitation to Lucas and Lindsay's wedding. And it says we are allow to bring one date so I say you finally show this town your hottie so everyone will finally realize you are not hung over about Luke," Brooke suggests as she tosses the invitation to Peyton.

"I know, I know. I'll bring him and you'll bring Julian," Peyton says rasing her eyebrow at Brooke.

"Fine but now go call you hubby!" Brooke says pushing Peyton towards the stairs.

"Okay, okay. I'm going," Peyton chuckles at her best friend.

Entering her room, Peyton sets the invitation down as she reaches for cell to dial a familar phone number.

"Hello?" she hears the person from the other line.

"Hey babe," she replies with a smile even though the other call can't see it.

"Peyton, honey, hey. What's up?"

"Well, Neal, I was wondering if you could be my date to attend a wedding tomorrow?" Peyton asks quickly.

"Yeah, of course. Who's wedding?" Neal asks curiously.

"Lucas and Lindsay," she repiles without a breath.

"Ah, I see, so now you will tell your friends about me?"

"Brooke believes it's a great time at the wedding since evryone still believes that I love Lucas. They just don't let me try to tell them about you but I guess, the wedding is the perfect timing. Everyone will be shock," Peyton says wisely.

"Well, well, well, since when did my girly get so wise?" Neal teases.

"I don't know. You're pretty wise, maybe you are rubbing off on me," she says sweetly.

"Maybe I am. Hey, I gotta go but I'll see you in an hour?"

"Yeah. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye," Neal says before hanging up.

"So is that a yes?" Brooke asks as she enters the room.

"Were you earsdropping?" Peyton says with a smile.

"Well, no," Brooke tries but fails. "Okay but you two are just so cute!"

"He's coming in an hour. Now, what about Julian?"

"Oh, he's coming. He's been my date for a while. So, can we tell Haley?" Brooke asks in excitement.

After a moment of thinking, Peyton finally says, "Fine, but no one else other than Haley and probably Nathan if Haley tells."

"YAY!" Brooke squeals before pulling out her phone to call Haley. "Okay, tutorwife, you and Nathan need to come here in lke an hour. Peyton has something to share!"

"Gee - Brooke. I said Haley not Haley and Nathan."

"Well, Haley would have told Nathan anyways."

-Hour Later-

Knock Knock

Peyton quickly answers the door to find her boyfriend of two months, Neal Caffrey, standing there in his famous black suit with his famous black fedora.

"Hey," Peyton says as she gives Neal a quick but lovingly kiss.

"I miss you," Neal whispers into her ears as he pulls her into an embrance.

"Me too," she says into his chest.

As they pull apart, Peyton leads Neal into the living room.

"So, Haley and Nathan are going to be here and I'm going to introduce you to them," Peyton says breaking the silence.

"Brooke's idea?"

"HEY! I HEARD THAT BUT YES IT WAS MY IDEA!" Brooke says loudly before Peyton could answer.

Neal, having met Brooke before, chuckles are her.

Knock Knock

"OH! Naley is here!" Brooke squeals before running to the door.

"Naley?" Neal asks confuse.

"It's Brooke's couple name for Haley and Nathan," Peyton explains.

"Ah, so we must be call Peal or Neyton?" Neal says.

"I like Neyton better."

"So what's the news?" Peyton hears Nathan ask her.

"Well, I like you and Haley to meet my boyfriend, Neal Caffrey. Neal this is Nathan and Haley and Nathan and Haley this is Neal," Peyton introduces the three quickly.

"Nice to meet you," Haley, being friendly as always, shakes Neal's hand.

"You too," Neal says politely.

"Hi Neal," Nathan says shaking Neal's hand.

"Hello Nathan," Neal says.

"So, when were you going to tell us you had a boyfriend?" Haley questions Peyton.

"Well, you, Nate, Luke, and pretty much everyone in this town, kept telling me that I still love Lucas and how I'm going to ruin his relationship with Lindsay, I never got the chance to tell you all about Neal," Peyton answers truthfully.

"Oh," Haley says not realizing that everything Peyton said was true to the exact detail. "I'm sorry."

"Me too, Sawyer. We really didn't know," Nathan says.

"It's fine. When I came back to Tree Hill it was because of Lucas but when I found out her actually loves Lindsay, I met Neal, and we hit it off."

"Where did you guys meet?" Haley asks wanting to know some gossip.

"Well, Peyton and I met two months ago. We were both at Tric, when we bumped into each other and since then, we been together," Neal explains.

"Hey, how come I never see you around?" Nathan wonders.

"Well, I'm an FBI agent in the New York departement so I'm mostly in New York but I come to Tree Hill as often as I can because of Peyton. When Peyton and I first met, I was taking a road trip when I came up to this small town and I fell in love with it right away."

"So, you live in Tree Hill and New York?" Haley wonders.

"Yeah."

"Hey, how about we go out together?" Brooke asks the four.

"Sure," they all answer.
