Peyton's cell began buzzing on the bed side table urgently and she fumbled across the pillow searching for it. She opened one eye slowly and then made a grab for it;

"M-ello?"

"Peyton!" It was Brooke, her voice sounded urgent.

"Brooke?"

"Of course it's me idiot who else would call you at 5am?!"

"Mmm Haley?"

"That's beside the point, I need to talk to you!"

"Brooke, why are you whispering?" Peyton sat up and then realised with a jolt that there was an arm across her stomach, she froze where she was.

"I'm whispering because i'm not alone!"

"Same here," Peyton dropped her voice to a whisper and cupped the phone close to her mouth, "Brooke hold on one second," slowly she eased herself from underneath the arm and pulled the sheet with her, she recognised the arm- oh god, last night was coming back to her. Pain streaked across her forehead- oooh hangover. She opened the door to the balcony and then put the phone back to her ear.

"Ok, go B. Davis."

"Ok so I was at the store yesterday and fine barboy Owen drops by being all smooth and gorgeous and casually asks if i'm up for meeting some of his friends who've just got back from tours or something- wait, Peyton, you're not alone?! Oh my god please tell me you didn't sleep with the busboy or anything?"

"No Brooke," she said exasperated, "give me some credit, there was only one person it was going to ever be and that's Lucas."

"Lucas?! Oh my god!" Brooke was squealing and then suddenly her voice dropped again, "shit he just moved- anyway, please tell me everything."

"You want details over the phone?! While he's in the room?!"

"Ok fine, just answer yes or no. Are you ok?"

"Yes."

"Was it good?"

"Brooke!"

"Fine! Were you drunk?"

"Yes."

"Oh."

"No no, why oh?"

"Well, does it still count as something meaningful for you guys if you were drunk?"

"Yes!"

"Oh goody does that mean it is something big and me and Hales can be openly excited about you two again?"

"Brooke!"

"Oh Peyton shush, you're allowed to be happy, are you happy?" There was a silence, Brooke nervously prodded a foot and then quickly pulled away, Peyton was shyly peeking round the balcony door to look at the sleeping Lucas.

"Yes," she whispered.

"Oh goody!" Brooke jumped up and down, knocking the phone holder onto the floor with a clatter- she looked over to the bed horrified as the sheets started moving-she dropped to her knees on the floor and then peeked over the mattress;

"Brooke?"

"Yeah honey i'm still here," her voice was barely audible, "but i'm gonna have to call you back-"

"Brooke!"

"I'm glad you and Luke are finally together- I knew you loved him really- bye sweetie."

"No Brooke wait who are you-" the phone cut off and Peyton sighed and rolled her eyes smiling, it was so nice to talk to her best friend, even if it was in yes and no answers. She turned and slipped back into the room, Lucas was still asleep and she silently switched on the tv and put the news on- she would never sleep now. She glanced over at him again, breathing calmly, he looked so heavenly all wrapped in the sheets, one arm flung across his face. She wanted to wake him up and talk- just in case last night hadn't been the same for him, she was so happy- she didn't want to be imagining he felt the same if he didn't. Testing him now she turned the tv up slightly- he didn't move. She sighed and looked around the room- there was a half drunk bottle of coke on the table- she picked it up now and then dropped it on the floor, there was a thud and a lot of fizzing- Lucas grunted and rolled over, but didn't wake. She swore under her breath, now she had to clean up crap and she still hadn't woken Lucas. Ignoring the coke she resorted to desperate measures, she grinned as she climbed up onto the bed and stood next to the lump- then she started jumping. In a few seconds he was rolling about and his eyes snapped open;

"Whas- huh? Where?" As soon as he started to sit up she dropped back down to the bed and slipped under the duvet, squeezing her eyes shut.

"Peyton?" He moved across to look at her, resting on his elbows, "Peyt," he said again, his voice croaky, "were you just jumping on the bed?!" She tried not to smile, he watched her face, she was so obviously awake- he loved her being so free of inhibitions, so childish like this, it was nice seeing her having fun like this- relaxed with him.

"Peyt-" he nudged her.

"Wha-?" Her eyes fluttered open, "oh Luke hi," she smirked at him, "why are you awake? Was there an earthquake or something?" He prodded her ribs;

"You know exactly why i'm awake Sawyer." She giggled and he prodded her ribs again;

"No no I don't! Please don't tickle me Luke aaahhhh ok ok it was me!" He didn't stop tickling her and she rolled away from him laughing but he caught her up and pulled her back to him. For a second they looked at each other;

"Hi," he said softly, "you ok?"

"Mhmm," she nodded, looking down to where his fingers intertwined with hers, "Luke-"

"I know that Luke voice," he said, his eyes full of concern.

"No no, it's ok this time I promise," she kissed his hand, "I just wanted to check you were."

"What?!" He laughed and looked at her incredulously, "Peyton i've spent the last three years missing you, the last month and a half trying to get you to even look at me, there have been quite a few times when i've considered hiring out a billboard to write I love you across it," she laughed and he looked at her- his eyes intense, "seriously this moment right here is a dream come true," he kissed her, "I promise."

"Ok," she said smiling, she leant forward and kissed him again- he was just closing his eyes when he noticed the clock;

"Shit!" He jumped up and began pulling on his clothes, "it's like 6:30- I told the babysitter i'd be an hour."

"Oh god," she started pulling on her own tee shirt, "what time did she say she'd stay till?"

"I can't remember," he dived back onto the bed and kissed her, "don't move, Jamie and me will be back very shortly." She pulled him back for a second longer and then reluctantly let him leave.

"It's Jamie and I" she shouted as the door closed, he twisted in the corridor and glanced back through the door;

"You use the word skeeze- you can't correct my grammar babe," he grinned and winked at her and then flew across the corridor. She sank back on the bed smiling to herself, today was a good day.

An hour later Jamie burst through into Peyton's room using the spare key card and began jumping on her bed;

"Come on Peyton! Disneyland! Disneyland!" She was shaken awake- she hadn't realised she'd been asleep.

"Hey little man," she reached up and he dropped down to hug her, she closed her eyes, "we'll go in five minutes, get you're Uncle Lucas to get ready first sweetie."

"Excuse me but i've been ready for twenty minutes lazy bones," her eyes snapped open as Lucas appeared round the corner, she felt butterflies, he was smiling just as widely as her.

"Well then, give me ten minutes and i'll meet you in the lobby."

"There is no way we are leaving you in bed," he said sternly, "you'll go right back to sleep."

"We need to go now!" Jamie wailed looking at her with puppy dog eyes, "pleeeeease Peyton! Get up pleeeease!"

"Ok ok!" She sighed and pushed back the covers, she was wearing her Foo Fighters 2006 tour tee shirt and not much else, Lucas swallowed-

"Jamie, why don't you see what cartoons are on?" He followed Peyton through to the bathroom while Jamie happily switched on the tv.

"Do you have to look so darn hot all the time?" He murmured, bending to kiss her collarbone, "it's extremely distracting!" She smiled at him in the mirror and swatted him away gently;

"I can't help it, some of us are blessed with natural hotness and others," she raised her eyebrows at him "just have to keep trying to get there."

"Ouch!"

"Come on," she wrapped her arms round his waist, "you know you're hot Scott, why else would I be with you?" Underneath her teasing tone he couldn't help but hear the seriousness of the jest.

"So you're going to be with me now? Officially?"

"If you'll still have me," she said softly.

"As if i'd ever say no to you Peyton Sawyer," he kissed her and she slid her arms up to around his neck and then pulled away jokingly;

"No, maybe the odd oh though."

"Very much a mistake trust me," he bent to kiss her again but she held up a hand to his face.

"I have beautifying to do mister and Jamie is right in there- now go sit with him instead of scarring him on a trip to the bathroom and seeing an X rated movie occurring on the floor."

"Oh so you did have the same thing in mind then?" He twinkled at her and she stuck her tongue out.

"Go!"

Brooke clacked her heels impatiently in the elevator on the way up to Haley's room. She had no idea what to tell her friend. Plus her hair, she noticed as she examined herself in the mirror, was in desperate need of some frizz ease. Crossly she pulled a comb out of her bag and began raking her perfectly smooth chocolate hair- she was having one of those days. She headed down the corridor and swung into Haley's room.

"Thank god," Nathan looked up relieved.

"What?" Brooke felt terrified, "what's happened?"

"Nathan's being dramatic is all," said Haley from the bed rolling her eyes, Brooke looked over breathing a sigh of relief.

"I am not Hales."

"You are."

"I want you to be ok."

"I'm fine Nathan, there is no possible way I could be more fine wrapped in a hospital bed surrounded by people who want only for me to be fine!"

"But-"

"Nathan!"

"Baby I know you don't want me to worry but I am."

"You shouldn't be worrying- you'll start looking old."

"Haley this is serious."

"Nathan you're such a drama queen!"

"Scotts!" Brooke waved her hands between them, "enough with the lovey dovey naley arguing. Hales, you look gorgeous you've gotta tell me what's in the water here." She bent and hugged her friend and then straightened and looked at Nathan, "and why do you look like you need a shower and an iron Nate?"

He sighed, "I got a call last night from my old agent, he wants me to go for some talks with him and some other guys about a possible easing me back in thing, it's a bit complicated but it won't be the same and I don't even know why i'm considering-"

"Basically," Haley took her husband's hand to silence him gently, "Nathan's agent wants to talk but he's in Virginia- one shot, one meeting, Nathan has to go." Her voice was firm.

"But I don't want to leave you Hales."

"You'll be back on Monday Nathan, 3 days!"

"Fine," he scowled, "careful Brooke she might try and send you to New York or something, it's like she's trying to get rid of us!"

"You know I can hear you right?"

"I can pretend you're not there," he said teasingly, "you're shorter than ever down there in that bed."

Brooke smiled at the teasing argument, she wanted that so much, unfortunately last night hadn't so much as ruined any chance of that with anyone in the near future it had also meant she had to hide out here for a while...

Several hours later and the Sawyer Scott Disneyland trip was almost over. The flight was at eleven so they had plenty of time to kill and Peyton was wandering round the gift store with a basket full of things Jamie wanted. Lucas came over now;

"Found anything you like?" He asked innocently.

"No," she sighed, "I was hoping they had something but it's just sold out."

He reached into a carrier bag and pulled out a box- "you mean this?" She opened the box and squealed.

"Oh my god Luke! Yay!" It was a miniature figurine of the last dance in Sleeping Beauty- the dress could be pink or blue and Luke had picked the blue one, "it's so beautiful."

"Yeah I know- thought it would go nicely on my night stand you know?" He spoke casually, taking the figure now and tossing it between his hands.

"Oh." She looked at the floor, he snorted.

"I can't believe you feel for that, how about it goes on your side of the bed?"

"What are you talking about my side?" She said looking at him puzzled, he stared at the bag feeling shy.

"Well I was thinking, maybe if you wanted, you know, you don't have to but I just thought maybe- we could move in together?" She dropped the basket in shock and stared at him.

"For real?"

"No like in a play house of course for real you dope!"

"Oh my god," she beamed at him, "yes! Of course yes. I'd love to live with you!"

"Really?!" He laughed and caught her up in a massive hug right there in the middle of the Bambi soft toys and then slowly put her down.

"So for real? You wanna look for a place when we get home?"

"You don't wanna stay where you are?"

"Well I was thinking now my ma's at home permanently with Andy and with Lily and you never know- she's not that old yet. I figured maybe it was time I got a place of my own and it seemed kind of perfect. If Brooke doesn't mind."

"I'm sure she won't if it's for love." She said teasingly and he took her hand happily as they walked through the store to where Jamie was playing with Buzz Lightyear toys.
