Chapter Two: Lucas's Surprise

Peyton was sitting in her car, she was looking back at her old house, she just came back from L.A and knew that was the first place that she wanted to visit. A young girl about sixteen looks outside her window and spots Peyton, she opens her front door and walks up to the car. Peyton see the girl as she begins to knock on the window, Peyton pulls the window down and the girl looks into the car.

"Your Peyton right?"

"Um...how did you know?"

"Just an instinct," the girl says. "Want to look inside?"

"Can I?"

"Of course."

Peyton gets out of the car an motions towards her old house, the outside still look the same but she had no idea about the inside. The girl open the door, showing the inside of the house, Peyton looked around to see how much it changed. It look pretty much like Brooke's old house, very rich and highly decorated. Peyton turns to the girl nervously, "What your name by the way?"

"Molly," she answered taking Peyton towards her old room.

"I guess this is your room now."

Molly nodded her head, "Want to see it?"

"I could be a psycho you know?"

"I highly doubt that." Molly opened the door.

The room was very girly, Peyton never expected to see her room decorated this way, she was shocked in a way as she looked around the room. "Wow things sure has changed, my walls used to be red."

"That's crazy, your joking right." Molly laughs then see the expression on Peyton face. "Oh your not."

Peyton was so surprised on how much Molly reminded her of Brooke, Molly walked to the closet, "So your really used to love Lucas Scott?" Peyton looked at Molly as if she were psychic, Molly opens the closet a little more to reveal writing on the door that read 'Peyton + Lucas TLA'. Molly opened the other side of the closet revealing Brooke's list of boys. "You knew Brooke Davis?"

"Yeah I used to."

Brooke was at the airport she was waiting for Mouth, he was the only person who knew she was coming that night. Mouth came into airport and saw Brooke, she was surprised at how much he changed, Mouth hair was a little longer and his taste in clothes changed. Brooke hugged Mouth, "It is so good to see you after all these years."

"Well I see you all the time on tv!" Mouth smiled. "You made it big time Brooke Davis!"

"I know," Brooke said. "New York is great but I missed you guys in Tree Hill."

"We missed you too," Mouth said. "So where are you staying?"

"Well tonight I am going to Haley's house," Brooke picked up her bags heading to Mouth's car. "I am going to surprise her tonight, then hopefully I am going to rent an apartment for a while."

"How long are you planning to stay?"

"I don't know yet."

Brooke got into Mouth car after putting her bag in the back of his trunk, he started the car and began to drive off to Nathan's and Haley's house. When they finally arrived, Brooke gave Mouth a little kiss on the cheek and got out of the car, "Thank you Mouth." Brooke paused. "For everything." Brooke got her bags from out of the backseat and approached Nathan and Haley's house. She rung the doorbell and saw the door open, she looked down and saw Nathan in his wheelchair, he looked like hell.

"Hi Nathan!" Brooke smiled.

"Figured you would come back," Nathan said bitterly. "She's in there."

Brooke nodded her head and went into the room Nathan pointed at, she opened the door and saw Haley reading a book to James. Haley looked up when she heard the door squeak, she put down the book and looked up, she saw her bestfriend and beamed. "Brooke! I can't believe your back!" Haley pulled Brooke in to a hug, Brooke being the emotional one as she was always known to be began to cry.

"Oh honey what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Brooke wiped her tears. "It's just I haven't seen you in such a long time and James!"

"Auntie Brooke," James got out of bed and hugged her.

"The last time I saw you were so short," Brooke picked him. "You grew a lot kiddo."

"I missed you," James hugged her. "I saw you on tv last night, and the lady who fell on the stage."

"You saw that?" Brooke laughed. "She was just a little tired."

She heard Haley laugh a little, Brooke placed James back into his bed and walked out the room with Haley by her side. "So how you been Tutor Wife?"

"Still kept my nickname," Haley laughed. "We been good lately, except for Nathan."

"I'm so sorry I didn't come back during the accident."

"It's okay," Haley understood. "That when you were just starting your career and I would never want you to give that up."

"Thanks Haley!" Brooke said. "Would you mind if I could stay here tonight?"

"No I don't mind, the guest room is made out already," Haley said. "Oh yeah James Soapbox Race is tomorrow, you're coming right?"

"Of course anything for my godson." Brooke said proudly.

"I'm glad you said that because Lucas is going to be there tomorrow," Haley said nervously.

"Well I have to face him sometime right?" Brooke shrugged.

"Brooke Davis, when did you get so strong?"

"The fashion world really did a number on me." Brooke laughed.

Brooke went to the guest room, she put on her pajamas and thought about what was going to happen the next day. She couldn't believe that she was going to see Lucas again, it not that she wasn't excited but something happened the last time they met. Brooke fell asleep. It was soon morning and Brooke headed straight towards the kitchen, she saw Haley at the stove, and James sitting down by this blond haired women that Brooke recognized all to well.

"Peyton?!" Brooke smiled.

"Is that Brooke Davis?" Peyton said mockingly. "Oh why yes it is!"

"Oh my gosh Peyton," Brooke hugged Peyton. "How have you been?"

"Great!" Peyton smiled. "I'd missed you!"

"Same here P.Sawyer!" Brooke smiled. "You haven't changed a bit, except your hair is a little more darker then it used to be."

"Auntie Brooke," James called out. "Are you coming to my race, Auntie Peyton coming and so is Uncle Luke."

"Uncle Luke is coming?" Peyton said.

"James can you excuse for a minute." Haley asked.

James nodded and took his breakfast into his room, Peyton turned back to her two friends. "When did Lucas come back?"

"A while ago," Haley said. "But you have to put away, at least for James sake."

"Well as long as Brooke stays by my side."

"Who said I was ever going to leave your side?" Brooke laughed.

"Brooke, you have to get ready it's starts in an hour and Lucas and Skillz is meeting us there." Haley said.

"What about Nathan?" Peyton asked.

"I don't think he's coming."

"What?" Peyton said. "I am going to have a talk with him after this race thing."

"Good luck." Haley shrugged.

Brooke went back to the guest room and began to get prepared for the Soapbox race, she got a ride with Peyton and Haley. She sat with James in the back seat, he had his helmet in his lap and was so anxious to get to the race. When they finally arrived they saw many parents with their children, James looked up at Brooke. "Is my daddy coming?"

Brooke stared at Haley and Peyton who look nervous at the sight of hearing that question, Brooke tried to give the best answer she could. "Listen kiddo, I think your old enough to hear the truth and the truth is I don't think daddy is coming. But on the bright side you have mommy, Auntie Peyton, Uncle Luke, Uncle Skillz, and--"

"Auntie Brooke?" James smiled.

"Yeah and Auntie Brooke." Brooke smiled tickling James.

The four got out of the car and headed towards Skillz, "Well if it isn't Peyton Sawyer and Brooke Davis." Brooke and Peyton hugged Skillz. "How the two of you been?"

"Fine." Brooke and Peyton answered together.

Peyton spotted Brooke with a women and nudges Brooke, Brooke looks over towards Lucas then turns back to Peyton. "Who do you suppose she is?"

"Who cares?" Peyton shrugged.

They began to walk toward James Soapbox, James was slowly getting into it. "Mom can you put on my helmet for me?"

"I'll be back you two." Haley said to Brooke and Peyton.

Lucas looked over at the two girls, he was shocked, he never expected his new girlfriend and his two ex-girlfriends would be in the same place at the same time. He looked at his girlfriend, "Hey Lindsay, I'll be right back." Lindsay nodded her head as Lucas began to walk towards his ex-girlfriends, Lindsay crossed her arms and began to walk towards Haley.

"Hey Hales."

"Hey Lindsay," Haley smiled. "What's up?"

"Nothing really." Lindsay said. "Who are those two girls?"

"Those two?" Haley faked being confused pointing towards Brooke and Peyton. "Just old friends from high school."

"And that it right?"

"Lindsay I don't really think you should be having this talk with me."

Lucas walked up to Peyton and Brooke, they looked at one another nervously.

"So how have you two been?"

"Good," Brooke replied.

"Same." Peyton replied simply.

"You?" Brooke asked.

"I been doing great also," Lucas said. "I see that Clothes over Bros is doing great."

"Yeah." Brooke answered.

Peyton began to cough, "I think I need some water."

"Oh yeah," Brooke agreed. "I'll go with you."

Lucas watched the two girls walked away remembering the last time something like this happened.

"I should get something to drink." Peyton said coughing rather badly.

"Uh-huh." Brooke agreed.

"Look! I meant what I said. OK, an-and now that I'm back, it's a little embarrassing so how about we just-" Lucas began.

"Don't mention it!" Brooke said.

"Great." Peyton said.

"So what do you say huh? You in?" Lucas asked relived.

"Any excuse for a party." Brooke shrugged.

"For Nathan and Haley, why not." Peyton agreed with Brooke.

Lindsay walked over to Lucas, "Who were they?" she asked wrapping her arms around Lucas.

"Old friends." Lucas turned back to Haley.

"Hey the race is starting." Haley said pulling out her camera.

James was in the Soapbox that had the number 23 on the side of it, he was in third place so far out of eight racers. In front of him was a red and blue cars, Jamie passed the red car with ease. He was almost close to the blue car he just had to gain a little more speed, with in seconds he passed the blue car and the finish line. Brooke, Peyton, Lucas, Haley, Lindsay and Skillz cheered as they rush down to the finish line. James carefully got out of his car and looked at his mom, "Mommy I won!"

Haley lifted James into the air and bought him in for a hug.

"You did it little man." Skillz smiled.

"Let's go celebrate!" Brooke beamed. "Pizza on me!"
