"Brooke, what are you doing?" Brooke looked in the reflection; she could see Victoria sitting on her bed.

"I'm going out" Brooke replied shortly, finishing her make up, and examining the dress she'd chosen for her diner with Peyton. "I told you that already."

"You look like you're going on a date."

"Just diner."

"With who?"

"Why do you all of a sudden give a crap?" Brooke turned to face the older women. Who was she to suddenly take interest? "You can't just sit there and be my mother all of a sudden."

"Who are you going with?"

"Peyton. I'm going out with Peyton."

"Brooke, if you want someone to screw around with, get someone with a bit of class. God only knows what diseases that girl has." Victoria hissed. "You really have no idea what you're doing do you? She'll be the death of you Brooke."

"I'm not going to fight with you over this." Brooke replied, grabbing her purse, when she heard a knock at the door.

"That must be her now. Two guess's who'll end up paying for tonight." That was the last thing Brooke heard as she left Victoria and opened the door for Peyton. She immediately felt over dressed. Peyton was in a pair of jeans, ripped at the knee's revealing those golden legs. Brooke instantly chastised herself for thinking about them.

"Peyton, you look great." She managed to choke out, still flustered by Peyton's legs. In fact it wasn't just the legs it was everything. Peyton always had a knack for looking good with minimal effort. She wore her jeans, a checked shirt and Brooke was pretty sure she could see a white vest underneath it.

"You look beautiful Brooke." Peyton smiled, standing in the doorway. Brooke couldn't help but notice how she hovered there while Brooke grabbed her things. It was cute.

"You can come in." Brooke said. Peyton just shook her head, still smiling but looking like a rabbit caught in head lights. It was only then Brooke noticed Victoria standing watching the whole seen. She grabbed her keys and left. "Let's go. Goodbye Victoria."

Brooke followed Peyton to the car, and was silently shocked when Peyton opened the door for her before running around and dealing jumping into the driver's seat. When she got in she gave Brooke a quick smile, before they set off. Peyton didn't say much on the drive, she asked Brooke about her day and all the usual pleasantries. Brooke could see her left knee slightly shaking. She smiled to herself; Peyton sawyer was nervous.

"I thought you said we were going into town." Brooke asked as they passed the welcome to Tree Hill sign.

"I have a surprise." Peyton said turning to Brooke. "You'll like it I swear."

"Peyton you shouldn't have gone to any trouble." Brooke said.

"I wanted to." Peyton smiled.

"Peyton-"

"Don't worry. I didn't do anything stupid."

Peyton watched the shocked expression creep across Brookes face as they parked. The lights were shining down on them and you couldn't escape the noise. Peyton hopped out of the car.

"I'm not really dressed for this Peyton." Brooke said looking at the sight before her and Peyton's eager expression. "I thought we were going to diner. I'm in a dress and heals that-"

"I figured so I brought these for you." Peyton said reaching into the back seat and pulling out an old pair of converse and a small hoody. "They'll fit."

"Peyton, I'll look stupid in high tops and a dress."

"You'll look beautiful." Peyton said tossing the shoes at her. "You always look beautiful"

Brooke could feel Peyton's eyes on her the whole time as she laced up the shoes and got out of the car. She flung the hoody around her shoulders. It smelled of Peyton and she breathed the haunting scent in. Together they walked into the amusement park. The lights were bright and cheesy music filled the air. Peyton watched as Brooke walked next to her began to loosen up and take in the atmosphere.

"Now I promised diner, so choose anything. Money is no object." Peyton said pointing to the food stand.

"You really know how to wine and dine a girl."

"I wasn't aware we were on a date." Peyton said twirling to face Brooke, as they got in the queue. "Just friends if I recall. Now my friend what would you like for your starter."

"I suppose I'll have some candy floss." Peyton nodded and ordered their food. They walked around the rides taking in the surroundings; Brooke watched as Peyton took in all the attractions. It was getting really dark and the lights were starting to look magical as opposed the cheap as they did in the day. Peyton was obviously impressed by it all, her eyes widened at every ride.

"Do you want to go on this?" Peyton asked looking at the long queue formed outside one of the rides.

"Armageddon?" Brooke read the large sign, and looked at the huge rollercoaster that stood before them "You're serious?"

"Yes." Peyton nodded excitedly "Come on. It'll be fun I promise."

"I don't get you" Brooke grumbled as they joined the long line. "You brought me to a fair."

"It's a pretty good fair." Peyton said, moving along a few steps.

"It feels like I'm back on my first date." Brooke said catching her up.

"Maybe, we are." Peyton said, once again moving along.

"Peyton." This time Brooke caught up, pulling her arm back so she couldn't move on. "I don't want to you to get the wrong idea about us."

"I get it Brooke. We're just friends." Peyton smiled back. "Friends"

"I'm sorry it's all I can give right now."

"That's fine. I just want you in my life. I'd be being you're mail man. I just want to spend time with you." Peyton said, her calmness just increasing Brookes worry. "Now what do you say we just enjoy tonight. Stop brooding. I swear it's like we've switched places."

"You sure you're okay with this." Brooke sighed. "It'll just take me a little while to figure it out."

"Brooke. You're here. That's all that matters to me." Brooke smiled at Peytons words's. There was still a doubt in her mind but she couldn't walk away, even if she'd wanted to.

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea

Peyton let Brooke slide into their carriage and looked up at the ride before them. She'd never been on rides like this. She looked to Brooke, who looked terrified and was clutching her purse.

"Brooke, you okay?" She asked. She wanted them to have fun, she didn't want to scare her.

"Fine, just not that big on rollercoaster's." Brooke gulped. "Especially at the beginning. I'm fine once we get up there."

"You sure? We can just go." Peyton offered.

"We just queued for ages. I always get a little freaked out. Everybody does, except you. To cool to be scared." Brooke nudged as the bar came down onto their laps, securing them in their pace. Peyton looked around to see a few more nervous faces.

"I'm just excited. I've never been on a rollercoaster before. Should I be scared?" Peyton confessed, slightly embarrassed.

"Maybe we should have gone on a smaller one first." Brooke said. "And you probably shouldn't have had that hot dog."

The ride began to move along steadily moving up a slope. Peyton looked to the front. But she couldn't see where it ended. She looked to Brooke, who was clutching the bar and slowly moved her hand across, eventually resting it on top. She gave Brooke a quick smile. And then her stomach fell. They hurtled down to the bottom and Peyton could hear Brooke screaming, as was everyone else. She just laughed. When the ride finally slowed she noticed their hands were still in the same place, resting on top of Brookes. They only moved when the bar came up and they had to leave. Brooke gave her a small smile.

"You sure picked a good first." Brooke said as they exited the ride.

"I know but I've never been to one of these so I figured I'd go on the best ride."

"You've never been to-"

"Nope" Peyton blushed ever so slightly. Once again she felt a little embarrassed. "I like having my firsts with you"

"What?" Brooke asked, an adorably look of confusion creeping across her face.

"I always have my first with you." Peyton explained. "You're the first person who stood up to me when I was being rude, you're the first person who cared for me because of me and not some sense of obligation, you're the first person who looked after me when I got drunk, you're the first proper relationship I was ever in, you're the first person who forgave me, you're the first person who I showed my drawings to, you're the first person I ever talked to properly, you're the first person I said I love you to. And now you're the first person I've been to an amusement park with, and the first person who went on a rollercoaster."

Peyton watched as Brooke stood there in shock from her latest confessional. Mia had told her that she was becoming a love sick puppy. As Peyton thought back on what she'd said, she realized her friend may have had a point. She was probably worse than a puppy. She cringed, she didn't want to sound desperate but she just wanted a chance so bad.

"You were my first in lots of things too. I just need a little time for my head to catch up with my heart." Brooke reached out taking Peyton's hand in hers. "I haven't forgotten, you know. Our past. I just think we should be friends for a while and see how we get on."

Peyton nodded. They walked out to the car leaving the park behind them. Peyton had to admit her stomach was feeling the effects of the rollercoaster. She watched as Brooke walked to her car, still wearing Peytons hoody and trainers. She looked up at the stars, tonight had been a great night. Sure they were going home early but she only had to look at Brooke in her clothes and a sense of completeness washed over her.

They drove back in virtual silence, listening to the radio. Of course Peyton struggled to keep her eyes firmly on the rode.

"I had a good night P Sawyer. Thanks" Peyton smiled at the name, she hadn't heard it in a while.

"You're welcome." She watched as Brooke walked up the steps. "Brooke, you're my first best friend."

Follow me everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

Peyton arrived home feeling like she was floating on air. She had dreamt of what it would be like to be with Brooke again and now it seemed as though it could finally happen. She walked up to her apartment humming away to herself when she noticed a presence a few meters from her door. She cursed her luck. Mia was out and wouldn't be home until late. She was on her own, she looked at the familiar face and judging by the smirk that greeted her, she wasn't the only one who realized it.

"Well. I have to say, you have gone up in the world."

"What are you doing here?" Peyton asked opening her front door

"I think you know why I'm here Peyton."

So who do you think it is? I know that chapter was incredibly cheesy and fluffy but I liked writing it. Plus I'm getting ready for an explosion of drama. Probably shouldn't build myself up as it'll probably be a let down. Hope not. I really like the direction I'm taking. Anyway please review. Loving the fact that I'm seeing a few opinions. Who am I kidding ~I just love knowing someone likes my story. I do take them on board. Thanks.
