Here's the next chap! Hehe! Okay,let's now see what PEYT's plan is! HAHA! Good thing Peyton is just a fictional character, or she'll kill me for mentioning that here. BTW, guys please review. I'm not having much of an urge to update this since not many are reviewing. Please guys? One person, one review per chap? Please? Anyway, I'll stop my blabbering, rambling, whatever. Here goes the next chap!
Peyton's House
"Okay Zoey, promise me you won't tell anyone, unless I tell you too. You'll help on my plan too, right? You do know Nicole and Chase, they can help out as well, right?" Peyton asked her buddy.
"Yeah, they can. So, what's the plan?" Zoey asked.
"We get Brooke and Lucas together by arranging a blind date for them at the most expensive and romantic and hard to get restaurant in Tree Hill. I already booked a reservation for two days from now. I used my savings. Anyway, it will be on eight in the evening. All we need is for them to agree to it," Peyton explained.
"Wow! I've seen that place, never really eaten there since I know it costs a lot, but it looks great there! I myself even want to eat there, if I have the chance and the money. Anyway, they'll totally be in love with each other all over again there! Who can resist that place? But… how can Nicole, Chase and I help?"
"You guys have to convince Brooke to go in a blind date with Lucas. You don't have to tell her who she's going with, she just have to go. I'll go and take care of telling Lucas the plan. In case that we can't do the plan by leaving them alone together on a date, I've saved a reservation for you and Chase. This way, I help not only Brooke and Luke, but also you, Zo and Chase. Though, you really need to do your best to get them closer together, okay?"
"Oh, that's great Peyton!! I love you being my partner! Mwah!" Zoey said and kissed Peyton on the cheek.
"Could we not be like that? I don't handle being kissed by girls, I remember Brooke. She's the only one who does that to me… latest. Yeah I know we're bestfriends, but… I remember the whole Dyke thing… with Anna… and Felix, she explained.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Anyway, I'll go and call Nicole and Chase and tell them about it. Wait, who are Anna and Felix? And what's the Dyke thing you just said?"
"Uh… can we not talk about them? It's an incident I don't want to remember. Just go and all Nicole and Chase already, please?"
"Fine, fine, Mistress Secretive," Zoey said as a joke and ran over to the phone. She then decided to call Nicole first.
Brooke and Rachel's House
Ring Ring
Brooke heard it and decided to answer. But when she saw that it was Peyton's number, she decided not to answer it and just ignore it. Nicole heard the phone ring even more and she wondered why Brooke didn't answer it. She had to go upstairs since the phone was up there at the bedroom.
"Brooke, do you not here the phone ringing?" Nicole asked.
"I do. But it's Peyton's phone. I don't want to talk to her. What she gonna say? 'Brooke, let's be friends again?' Yeah, like I'll forgive her. For what she had done?! She already called a few days ago and I didn't forgive her. What makes this call any different?" she explained.
"If you won't answer the phone, then I will," Nicole said then answered it. "Oh, hi Zoey! Hey, wait a sec, okay?" she greeted. "You really should have answered it. It was for me. What if Zoey needs to talk to me about something important? Like guys," she whispered to Brooke.
"Whatever. I'm not answering any phone calls from that house, even if it was your bestfriend who was calling. What if Peyton was the one calling? What am I going to say?"
"Fine, fine. Hey Zoey, what's up?" she said then talked to Zoey. Brooke just exited the room and let the two bestfriends have their talk.
"Well, I need your help, Nicole. Peyton and I are working on a plan to bring Brooke and Luke together. She's also helping me to get together with Chase," she informed.
Nicole then screamed. "I'll help!!! I've been dying to get you and Chase together. Can you just admit that you two are already both in love with each other? He likes you the same way you like him, you just don't notice."
"Ouch! Nicole, please don't scream. You almost damaged my eardrums! Anyway, I don't believe you. I have to make sure of what he feels. I don't want to look like a fool to Chase! Oh, by the way, the reason I called! Could you let Brooke agree on a blind date for two days from now? She'll be going with Lucas, but she shouldn't find out. It's on eight in the evening, at Tree Hill's most beautiful restaurant. So could you?" she asked.
"Okay, I'll try. Hey, what about you and Chase? Are you gonna ask him?"
"I'm too shy to do so. Can you do me another favor?" she asked, making her voice all sweet.
"Which is?"
"Ask him to have a double date with me? He'll go with Lucas anyway. "
"Fine, only because you're my friend. Oh, I can't wait to see what happens! Tell me what happens okay? No detail should be left unsaid. Okay, bye Zoey!"
"Bye!"
They then both hang up the phone.
"OOH!! I'm so excited!!! The gang would be pretty pleased to hear that Chase and Zoey are going on a date!! I better call them after I call Chase!" Nicole said to herself.
After a while, Nicole then went to Brooke to ask her if she wanted to go on a blind date with a certain someone.
"Hey buddy," she said.
"Hey there. So, what's up? What did you and Zoey talk about? I didn't hear anything, though, I saw that you were really happy and excited when you were talking to her."
"Uh… well… she was asking me if you would like to have a blind date with a friend of hers. Don't worry. She says he's just about your age. Besides, it would be a double date, you'll be with Chase and Zoey. That's the reason why I'm happy, since I want those two to hook up. I mean, they obviously like each other, even love each other! Anyway, since Zoey's too scared to date him herself, she needs someone else to be with. So… will you? I don't want to come with her since it would just end up weird since the guy is older than me, so I figured to suggest that you should go out with him."
"It's okay for me to have a blind date, but I thought you didn't want me to-"
"Oh, I told you not to hit on the rock star guy before right? Well… because I think he's not good enough for you. But Zoey described your date and I think you'll really love him. Maybe he can help you forget about your whole Peyton and Lucas hate thing," she explained.
"I guess you're right. Oh man, you're always right. You're younger and you're right?! How can that be? I am so stupid. We have a large age gap and you're the smart one! That must be why I'm failing Calculus," Brooke said.
"You're just confused, don't worry, you're not stupid. And besides, calculus is a hard subject, many fail that too."
Then after, Nicole called Chase to ask him to go with Zoey on a date.
Ring Ring
"Hi, Scott Residence. Who's-" Lucas asked.
"Hi, is Chase there?" Nicole asked, all excited and didn't even let Lucas finish his sentence.
"Oh wait, I'll go get him. Who's this?"
"Oh please tell him that it's Nicole, her friend."
"Okay, wait for a minute," Lucas said then called Chase. "Chase! Your friend Nicole is calling! Phone, now!"
Chase then went to the phone and got it from Lucas. Lucas just left him and went downstairs to his mom.
"Hey Nicole, what's up? What do you need?" Chase asked.
"Well I was going to ask you to go on a double date with Zoey. She-" Nicole said but was cut-off when Chase then became totally happy and jumped up and down. He was also screaming 'Whoo!' when he did so too.
"Is what you're saying true or are you just lying?" he asked so he wouldn't look like a total fool.
"It's true, okay? Anyway, the other two who would be with you on the double date are Lucas and Brooke. We're kinda trying to get them together. So, could you come with them?"
"Sure! I would love to! I mean… okay," he said all nervous but still happy.
"Okay then, the date's on two days from now and it will happen on Tree Hill Restaurant. Well, bye, gotta tell Zoey that you're okay with it."
"'kay, bye too."
They then both hanged the phones.
"Yes! I can't believe I'm going on a date with Zoey! This is such a great day! I'm loving this so much! Maybe my being gullible is finally paying off!" Chase thought to himself.
"But first, I need to be ready for my date! I can't wait!" Nicole said then went off and tried off her clothes, to see which one would be best for her on her date.
Peyton's House
At the Sawyer household, Lucas then came to visit Peyton, as he usually do, only as a friend. "Peyton, you here?" he asked as he opened the unlock back door.
"Lucas, hey! Good thing you're here. I was about to go to your place. Saves me the effort," she explained.
"Oh, okay. Why?" he wondered.
"I have something to tell you."
"What's that?"
"You want to get back together with Brooke, right? Well, I just did you a favor. I set you on a blind date with her. She doesn't know she's going out with you, but you can patch up things with her two days from now. That's when the date will be."
"Peyton, thank you so much!" Lucas said then hugged her. "But… I don't think I can face her. What if I do something stupid?? I usually am when I'm with her."
"I thought of that," she said then stopped to laugh a little bit. "That's why I asked Zoey and Chase to go in a double date with you two."
"Thank you so much Peyton. You think of everything. And don't worry, if we patch things up, I'll convince her to be bestfriends with you again."
"Yeah, thanks, Luke. But, if she really doesn't want to, it's okay. I just want to fix the wrong things I've done. Though, I think our friendship can't be regained."
Brooke and Rachel's House
After an hour or so Nicole then called Zoey to tell her that she had convinced Chase and Brooke to come along.
"Hey Zoey?"
"Nicole, it's good that you've called. So, did they buy it? Is Chase gonna be my date? Is Brooke coming? Because if she isn't then-"
"Yes, he said yes, girl! Don't be too worried."
"Great! I love you Nicole! You truly are my bestfriend! Brooke said yes too?"
"Yeah, what did I say? Oh, I have a really great feeling about this-"
Ding Dong
"Hey Zo, gotta go. I have a date with one of the many cute guys Brooke has introduced me. I truly love her. She's the best buddy I've ever had! Well, she is the only roomie I've ever had. Anyway, see you soon!"
"Yeah see yah."
They then hang up their phones.
River Court
Michael was playing basketball while Mouth was watching him do so, also practicing his basketball announcing skills. But after a while, he had to go somewhere already and leave Michael.
"Hey, Mike. I gotta go and do something. Meet you at home? I'll be there at seven," he explained.
"Yeah sure Mouth. See you, man!"
Michael then continued playing, until an African-American came to the court.
"Hey, there. Great moves for a kid. New here? How do you know about this place? Haven't seen you in Tree Hill," he asked Michael.
"Hi, I'm from PCA, Pacific Coast Academy. We're staying here at Tree Hill for a while. My name is Michael. And you?"
"Skills, I'm Skills. Nice to meet you Michael. That would be Mike for short, right? Nice, small MJ," he said and extended a hand to him.
"Nice to meet you," he answered. "And yes, Mike is the short of Michael. Want to play a game of one on one?"
"It's on, Mike."
They then played and had a great time playing. They weren't evenly match though, Mike being younger and all. But it didn't matter, because they had fun. They got along great too because they both wanted to be better at basketball. They also both were determined about the game and both loved it so much.
Airplane
"I can't wait to visit Peyton. You too Jenny, right?" Jake asked his daughter on a plane back to Tree Hill. "I know I heard what she said last time I saw her, that she wanted to get married, and I think I'm now ready. All I need is to propose. I just hope she really doesn't love Lucas. What a fool I am for letting her go. I hope she hasn't changed her mind yet."
A/N: Yeah, this not much happens, but since I set things in motion for Dana and Logan, I have to set things in motion for Brooke and Lucas, Chase and Zoey and Peyton and Jake, right? I also had to introduce Skills to Michael. Anyway, please R&R! Next chap I assure you will be exciting. Every pairing will be there! Hehe!
