Brooke and Lucas have been best friends longer than they can remember. They have grown together and have been attached to each other's hip ever since. People mistakenly think of them as siblings, since they do everything together and they can never be separated. Everything they do is out of pure friendship and brotherly love… or not! Would it really be possible that Brooke is having more- than- friends feelings for Lucas? Or is she just confused with their tight and strong bond of friendship? Whatever those feelings are, they're not doing her any good. Uh- oh!

DAY BEFORE START OF SCHOOL
LAGUNA BEACH. That's where a friendship branched out from Brooke and Lucas. It was one day when little Brooke was happily building a sandcastle over the beach, when the playful Lucas ran and ruined her sandcastle. This sent to Brooke to tears, even though Lucas was apologizing and insisting it was an accident and it was his fault. When Brooke saw that Lucas was trying his best to rebuild her damaged castle, she stopped crying and was amazed to see how kind hearted Lucas is. Together they rebuilt the castle and have been inseparable from that moment on. Lucas has been her best friend ever since that incident. They are complete opposites but they have always maintained a strong bond and support system for each other.
Remembering their childhood antics made Brooke smile. Both of them enjoy each other's company and are contented with just being together. Though sometimes they have misunderstandings, they manage to set each other's differences and patch up.
"One more day before I officially become a senior. I'm sure Lucas is just as excited as I am. Where is he anyway?," Brooke thought, as she enjoyed the cozy atmosphere off their home, overlooking the memorable Laguna Beach. Not long after that, she heard someone shouting her name like crazy, and she laughed to herself as she immediately recognized the voice. "Speaking of the devil. That voice was undoubtedly Lucas'." she said.
L: Brooke? Where are you? Woohoo?... Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you everywhere.
B: I'm here, chillin' out. You know, enjoying the view. Well, come on, let's read those senior year predictions we wrote a week ago.
L: Ok. So yours say, "I'll be the lead in this year's school play." Really huh?
B: What? That's possible. I do like acting, for your information. Let's see what yours say, "I'm gonna be the best football player in the team." Are you seriously gonna do that? You can't even throw the ball.
L: Whatever! You know what, let's read these some other time. Right now, let's just, you know, talk.
B: Ok. Shoot!
L: So how is my best friend in the whole wide world doing? Senior year's gonna start tomorrow.
B: I'm good. I'm having pre- senior year jitters though. It's like starting school all over again.
L: Oh, don't be Brookie! It's gonna be great tomorrow! After all, we're seniors already. Can you believe it?! Besides, you're stuck with me. I promise it will be okay. All I know is that I, for one, am excited for tomorrow. I'm gonna be seeing those hot girls again. Before I know it, they'll be all over me again. (laughs)
B: Get over yourself Lukie! Like that would actually happen!
L: FYI, Brookie Cookie, I do have a great body and looks to die for.
B: Oh my gosh! My vision's getting blurry and I think I'm going to puke. First of all, you're not that good looking, in any degree possible! In fact, you're much worse than Quasimodo. Second of all, do not call me Brookie Cookie. That's like in third grade! Nobody calls me that anymore. Oh wait, I forgot! You're still stuck in third grade, aren't you?! Now that's why you still call me that. (giggles)
L:Is that so? Well then, you are so going to pay for that, Ms. Brooke Davis!
Brooke knew Lucas is going to start to attack her and chase her around. So she started to stand up and get away from Lucas. But she was too late! As she was running around, she suddenly tripped over a chair. Fortunately, Lucas caught her in time. While on the process, he "accidentally" kissed Brooke's cheek. This caught her off guard and she stared in shock at Lucas, wondering what was that he just did. Lucas was the first one to break the ice.
L: What? It's not like I haven't kissed you on the cheek before.
B: Yah…right!
Suddenly Brooke had a flashback. She remembered one particular time when she and Lucas were still kids.
(flashback- 12 years ago- 2000)
L: Hey Bwookie, I got you some fyowers. I gots them fwom our backsyard. These are for yous. (kisses her on the cheek)
B: Thanks you, Wukie! (kisses him on the cheek)
B: Luke, I think I'm gonna hit the sacks. I don't feel so well.
L: Oh, okay. Are you alright? (touches her forehead)
B: Yah…I just need to rest… that's all
L: Ok…Buds over studs?
B: Buddies over btches! (knocks fists with Lucas)
L: Bye Brooke.
Lucas hugged her and then took off. The truth is, Brooke is far from being sick. She just wants to be alone and think for a while. "What the hell had just happened?", Brooke asked herself. Suddenly, these unusual sentiments started creeping up again. She found it odd because she just felt it very recently when she and Lucas started hanging out a lot and have grown closer than ever. It's giving her a weird feeling. But she decided to sleep it off, silently praying that the feelings won't come back. 'Cause if they do, God help her, but things will be so different and crazy in her world. Yikes! Can anyone say "trouble?"
