Chapter 36-Let's Get This Party Started
A young girl in a pink party dress, and her hair braided in 2 identical plaits cascading down her back, sat playing with her Barbie dolls.
"You know, Barbie are stupids" said a blue eyed boy, standing beside her.
"As if, Luke. All you play is stupid basketball" she said, rolling her eyes.
"Hey, basketball is the bestest thing ever" Lucas said, crossing his arms across his chest.
"Yeah right" she scoffed, "why are you mean to me, anyways?"
"Whatever" he said, tugging at her hair before running off.
"Brookie, Brookie!" yelled a similarly small child wearing a black U2 t-shirt and matching converse shoes. Her hair was tied in a mess of curls, on either side of her head in piggy tails.
"What's up, Peyt?"
"Will you come to the music room with me? Miss Harbour said I had to take someone"
"You are always in there!" Brooke complained, climbing up off the floor, and hooking her arm in Peyton's.
"How bouts we play dolls later, Brookie?"
"Deal" the brunette said, nodding her head determinedly
Brooke laughed loudly.
"What's so funny, Cheery?" Lucas asked, coming up from behind Brooke, and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I was thinking about when we were in kinder together" she said, pointing at the photo of their younger selves, scowling at each other.
"You know, I had the biggest crush on you back then"
"Oh really?" Brooke asked coyly.
"Yeah, in the pull your hair kind of way"
"Aw, you're the sweetest!" she said, reaching up on her tip toes to kiss Lucas on the lips.
"Excuse me, everyone?" Peyton's voice echoed through Tric.
Everyone turned toward the stage, Peyton was standing in the spotlight, and Skills and Junk moved the projector to Peyton's right.
"Now, we all know it has taken Lucas and Brooke a long time to get here-"
"Yeah what's up with that, dawg?" Skills bellowed, snatching the microphone off Peyton.
Laughter rippled through the crowd as Peyton grabbed the microphone back.
"As I was saying…Lucas and Brooke took their time finding each other again, and we all probably should thank their gorgeous bub, Ella, for most of that"
Brooke looked over to see Ella in Karen's arms, happily playing with Karen's earring.
"But we all know they are meant to be, and this is the reason why"
Pictures of Brooke and Lucas flashed on the screen. Brooke in her ballet outfit, and Lucas in his junior league basketball uniform. All the way through high school, from freshman year with Brooke in her cheerleading uniform with a pouty Peyton, and Lucas sitting with the river court guys. Finally, the last slides were of when Brooke and Lucas were dating in high school, the final slide of the photo that was near and dear to their hearts- the picture taken at the Rivercourt.
"So without further or do, here is the couple of the moment, Brooke and Lucas!"
The spotlight moved from Peyton and moved to the centre of the floor. The crowd instantly parted, and Lucas grabbed Brooke's hand.
"After you"
Lucas followed Brooke to the middle of the floor, Brooke wrapped her hands around Lucas' neck, and he wrapped his hands around her waist.
Haley stepped onto the stage, the first few bars of Wonderwall started to play. Haley's voice soared throughout the club.
"Did you do this?" Brooke asked, looking at her friend belt their song out.
"Nope. I guess Peyton coaxed her out of retirement"
"No kidding" Brooke stated, resting her head on Lucas' chest.
"Was this everything you imagined it would be?" Lucas asked
"Everything and more" she said, kissing Lucas lightly on the lips.
"How are you feeling, B.Davis-almost Scott" Peyton asked, as they sat at one of the tables spread around the club, draped in midnight blue and silver.
"Happy, and completely blissed out on my future hubbie, and this gorgeous ring" she said slyly
"I'm so happy your happy, Brooke. It's about time."
"Tell me about it. I always knew that I would take an unconventional way to get married, but in my wildest dreams, I didn't think it would end up this way"
"Is that a good thing?" Peyton asked
"It's a very good thing"
"Hey girlies, what's going on?" Haley asked as she flopped down in the seat on the other side of Brooke.
"Tutor Mom, thank you so much for what you did" Brooke said, giving her friend a hug.
"Hey, I wouldn't get back on that stage for anyone, you know" Haley replied jokingly
"I know. Now I have some very important business to discuss" Brooke said
"What?" Peyton said in a panicked voice
"Calm down, P.Sawyer- Jagielski. This is very important wedding business" she said smirking slightly.
"Haha. Out with it" Peyton replied
"Well I was thinking about my maid of honour. And I know traditionally there is only one, but when do I do anything traditional-"
"True that" Peyton interrupted
"-So I decided that I want the both of you to be my maid of honour" Brooke finished
"Brooke, are you sure? I mean, I wouldn't be offended if you chose Peyton, you two have been friends for a long time"
"No, Tutor Mom. It's true that Peyton and I have been friends since we were kids, but Haley, you have both supported me so much over the last year. Don't make me choose, please."
Peyton and Haley looked at each other.
"What do you think?" Haley asked Peyton
"I think that it's a great idea" Peyton said, smiling from ear to ear.
"Me too"
"Yay! We have so much planning to do!!" Brooke said, clapping her hands excitedly
"Oh god, what have we gotten ourselves into?" Peyton muttered
"Forget about that now, let's dance!" Brooke said as Heaven by DJ Sammy blasted through the loud speakers.
The girls danced together and were soon joined by the guys on the dance floor.
"God, is it possible to be this happy?" Brooke wondered out loud
Brooke's eyes fluttered open, her arms stretching above her head.
"Morning, beautiful" Lucas uttered
"Did yesterday really happen?" Brooke asked
"If not, it was a really good dream" Lucas said, leaning over to kiss Brooke on the lips passionately
"A really good dream" Lucas agreed, leaning over to kiss Brooke on the lips.
Brooke, all of sudden jumped out of bed, and ran into the bathroom.
"Where did you go?"
"Are you kidding me? I'm wasting precious time, I have to start planning!" Brooke called out
"Planning for what?"
"Planning the wedding, silly!" Brooke skipped out, full clothed and kissed Lucas before skipping out of the bedroom
"What?" he muttered before getting up and heading towards Ella's room.
A loud knock on the door interrupted Haley's sleep.
"Nate?" she murmured
"Who the hell is that?"
"Maybe if we ignore it, they will go away" she said as she snuggled closer to Nathan
"Hmm, I like that idea" Nathan said, wrapping his arms around Haley. Moments passed, and the knocking did not cease.
"For god sake" Haley said, grabbing her robe and stalking towards the door.
She yanked the door open.
"Hey Tutor Mom, now I have a million ideas for the wedding. I was thinking for the bridesmaid dresses a midnight blue and of course they would be made by me-" Brooke said as she walked into the Scott mansion, with a very disgruntled looking Peyton trailing her.
"Brooke!" Haley yelled
"What?" she replied innocently
"What on earth are you doing here at 8 am on a Sunday morning? Has the engagement gone to your head?" Haley asked
"Are you kidding me, Tutor Mom? I have been dreaming about getting married since I was like 5 years old" she said, walking into the lounge room, and taking out a large white folder from her bag.
"What exactly is that, B. Davis?" Peyton asked as she flopped down on the couch next to her best friend.
"It's my wedding book, of course!" Brooke said
"Don't you think this is a little extreme?" Haley asked, looking through some of the pages, mainly cut outs from magazines, and material swatches scattered across the pages.
"No, not really" she said shrugging. "I want my wedding day to be perfect; I want to be a princess. Is that horrible of me?" Brooke continued
"No, of course not, sweetie." Haley replied
"Hell no, after everything that you guys have been through, I think you deserve a massive blow out!" Peyton said in fake enthusiasm.
"Thanks, Peyton" Brooke said, rolling her eyes.
"Hey babe?" Nathan said, walking into the room.
"Yeah?"
"I'm heading over to Lucas' and then we are going to the Rivercourt to shoot some hoops"
"Ok, see you later" she said, reaching up and kissing Nathan passionately on the lips.
"Good to know having two kids hasn't dampened the passion in your marriage, Hales" Brooke said, with raised eyebrows.
"Hey I wouldn't talk, Brooke. We have seen you and Lucas in a few compromising situations"
Brooke's cheeks flushed bright red as she muttered "Alright. Good point"
"Now missy, back to this fairytale wedding of yours"
"It's going to be spectacular, girls. We are going to get married in the church here in Tree Hill, and the colour schemes are going to be purple and pink, no wait, purple and silver, hang on-"
"Out of interest, is Lucas going to have a say in this wedding?" Haley asked
"Hmmm, I don't think so!" Brooke replied
"Oh this is going to be a long couple of months…." Peyton sighed
A/N: Ok everyone, I know this was kind of a filler chapter. I wanted to include friendship of the girls a bit more. I am not sure how many more chapters are left in the story, but I have put a poll on my profile page about it, so please vote!. As always, please review!-Lydia
