Hey guys! 3rd to last chapter! Ok who else heard Brooke call Peyton Fake Blonde goldilocks in the premiere? How cool was that? Very... I was like OMG that's what she calls her in my story a lot... anyway I thought that was awesome. Ok short summary of this chapter...this was a true story in a way. My dad went to college in UNCW for 2 years before going to Carolina and I am sure you all know UNCW is in Wilmington and Tree Hill is Wilmington pretty much so anyway... These are actually events that happened to my dad' friends one night...

Brooke tiptoed back to her room listening to make sure Annie didn't hear her. Ever since the Jerry Springer filming Annie had been very cautious with the teenagers checking their rooms twice a night. Luckily she and Lucas had figured out the schedule so the were able to continue their nightly routine.

"Your up early..." Brooke heard a voice say from behind her. It was Nikki standing there in her nightshirt. She was a scary sight with no eyeliner; Brooke could swear that she saw the man in her.

"God Nikki! Don't do that to me! I thought you were Michael Jackson there for a minute!" Brooke jumped

"Thanks! So look Brooke, here's the thing. You and I, we have a score to settle." Nikki smiled

"Right... because the address I gave you was to that lesbian bar. But hey! I bet you fit right in" Brooke giggled

"You laugh now, you just wait. I may be more like Michel Jackson than you think" Nikki grinned walking into the bathroom.

"What is that?' Brooke thought to her self. She didn't really care what Nikki did or said. Last time she had dealt with her she had been alone and mad at the world. Now she was happy and had her pimpy by her side.

"Hey Brooke..." Haley whispered when Brooke walked into their bedroom

"Yea Tink?" Brooke asked plopping down next to her

"Wait I thought I got to be Nicole... Never mind... look I need a favor" Haley asked

"Haley how many times have I told you, I don't do sexual favors for women. I don't bend that way...But Nikki might" Brooke said patting Haley on the head

"Right, I'm crushed... now seriously I need to steal Lucas for a few days"

"Haley Tutor Girl James! I expected this of Goldilocks over there but not you!" Brooke said giving her the look.

"You know what I mean... It's just that the whole time we've been here, he and I have barely said 2 words to each other and I miss him. So I was watching TV the other day and they are having this huge water balloon contest in Los Angeles and I thought he and I would enter... I mean we are awesome at that stuff. We use to see commercials for it when we were little and would spend hours training and getting ready and"

"Stop! Are you trying to kill me because you're boring me to death! Take him... have fun just stop talking!" Brooke said pulling her hair

"Really so you don't care?" Haley said thrilled

"Why would I care, I don't own him...yet" Brooke giggled

"Thank you Brooke! And you can have Nathan for those few days...well not "have" Nathan but you know what I mean"

"Oh Joy! I can die happy now... Just please don't un-train Lucas... It took me 4 months to get him the way he is" Brooke laughed

"Right... I can't wait to tell Lucas! Is he awake?"

"Are you kidding me? I have been in his room for the past 6 hours... he's out like a light and I am getting ready to be too" Brooke said crawling into her bed

"Right... so maybe Lucas and I could get an early start tomorrow and like leave at 6:00 and then"

"Haley?" Brooke smiled sweetly

"Yea?"

"Go to bed!" Brooke yelled pulling the covers over her head.

Brooke woke up a few hours later to find a note bedside her bed from Lucas.

Cheery,

Didn't wanna wake you

Gone with Hales for a few days, be back in a week. Have fun and take care of Nathan!

Love,

Lucas aka Pimpy

She read the note over a few times before finally comprehending it. She was going to be stuck here for 7 days alone. At least she had Peyton.

"Hey Peyton, Peyton, Shirley Temple! Wake up!" Brooke yelled at the bed beside her but there was no answer... just another note.

Brooke,

Gone with Martin to the promenade, meet us for lunch if you want.

-Peyton

Brooke read the note and then decoded it. Gone with Martin to the promenade...In Peyton language meant she and Martin were off having sex somewhere. Meet us for lunch if you want... aka you come anywhere near here your dead. This was just great. Her friends boy and girl were both gone. What was a girl to do?

"Oh Tim!" Brooke yelled at the top of her lungs

"Brooke! Don't yell so loud, you could damage little Hasty's hearing!" Tim whispered walking into the room

"Right... sorry, Tim! Have your boobs grown? I think you might need to wear a bra!" Brooke said looking at Tim's clearly flat chest. It was sad that her only enjoyment now was convincing Tim to wear make-up and Peyton's B cup bras, telling him it was good for the "baby"

"You think? They have felt a little saggy" Tim said feeling his chest

"Ah! I can't do this... It's time we get out of this place, like really get out" Brooke yelled throwing a bra at him

"It's best if I don't travel" Tim said patting his stomach

"Fine...that's just fine! You know what? I don't need you anyway! My god when did my life become so sad that I needed Lucas or Peyton to have fun? Nathan and I are going to have our own fun" Brooke said seeing Nathan moping down the hall. She could tell he was totally lost without Haley

"Hey Dopey! Guess what? I'll tell ya, you and I are going to go and so something totally spectacular! Ready?" Brooke asked grabbing Nathan by the arm

"Can't... I am going down stairs to see Simon's new car" Nathan said quietly

"Right because that is going to take you all week.... Come on Nate? Remember when it used to be just you and me? We were like bestest friends!" Brooke whined

"No... we weren't, my mother use to make me invite you to my birthday parties because Peyton was coming too. And last time you and I did something spectacular together... I almost got hit by a car!"

"Your so whiney Nathan, besides it wasn't my idea to play "Lay in the road and see if the cars swerve... remember? Come on Nate! Please, please, please! I'll do anything!" Brooke begged as they walked out to see Simon's new car. It was an orange 1980 Honda Accord hatchback.

"Oh my God! Simon bought a pimp mobile!" Brooke screamed seeing the car

"It's all I could afford... Hey you guys wanna go for a ride?" Simon asked

"I do" Kevin said walking our smiling at the car

"Then I do too sexy" Brooke smiled hopping in the back seat staring at Kevin's butt.

"Me too I guess" Nathan said sitting beside Brooke.

"Simon! Nathan's breathing air!" Brooke yelled

'Well Brooke looked out my window!"

They had driven down the road a few miles when Brooke got an idea.

"You know... we have the week off... we could go on a road tip" Brooke suggested seeing how bored everyone in the car was. Sure her least road trip hadn't turned out the greatest but this one might!

"Oh no..." Simon complained

"We can't just leave" Kevin said rolling up his window making his police officer face

"Come on Kevin... You need a break. I mean you are getting ready to have a baby for god's sake! Just a few days of no worries" Brooke coaxed. She really wanted to see what this guy was really like without that whiney Lucy bossing him around all the time.

"Brooke..." Nathan whined

"Ok... Look, just stop at this store right here and let me grab a drink. You guys can think about it while I'm in there" Brooke said pointing the ABC store out to Simon.

Lucas and Haley drove towards LA.

"I'm bored Hales" Lucas complained. She had made him listen to country music the whole way there.

"Stop whining... Just think, what would you usually be doing right now" Haley asked

"Hales, I'm dating Brooke... what do you think I would be doing right now?" Lucas laughed

"Right. a certain speed hump sign comes to mind, but Luke this will be good for us!" Haley said trying to lighten his mood.

"Yea I think so too, but don't you miss Nathan a little?" Lucas asked trying to bring her mood down so she could join him in his misery.

"Yea... I am sure Brooke is taking good care of him.

Brooke flew passed the sign that said, "Welcome to Wilmington". She had been on the road with 3 guys for 3 days heading for Wilmington and she still couldn't believe she had been able to talk them into going to the Doll House.

It had all started when Kevin had found the alcohol from the ABC store and he had not been pleased. So when he wasn't looking she added some vodka to his and Simon's drink just to relax them a little and make them more fun. That was 3 days ago. Now they were all in the backseat singing their 20th round of 99 bottles of beer on the wall having them a good ol time drinking everything that had been in the ABC store bag. Meanwhile Brooke was stuck driving and not getting to drink anything.

"Ok men! New game... whoever farts the loudest gets... gets in sit up front with Brooke" Nathan said slobbering everywhere and giggling like a little girl

"How about no..." Brooke yelled from the front seat. The car already smelled bad enough since the guys had refused to shower at the hotel they had stopped at.

"Come on... Broooooooke! Don't be a party pooper!" Simon laughed

"Don't drink my beer... Look it's 12:00am guys... lets just park right here and get some sleep... ok who am I kidding you guys can sleep. I'll drink" Brooke said parking the car in the target parking lot.

Haley and Lucas parked in the hotel parking lot.

"Yea... I am sure Brooke and Nathan are just fine" Haley smiled

The next thing Brooke knew they were speeding down the road with Kevin driving and she was feeling pretty good considering all she had had to drink.

"So, where we going?" Brooke asked leaning towards the front seat

"The battleship!" Kevin giggled

"Right... This should be fun!" Brooke squealed.

"Ok... ok I have to tell you guys a story" Nathan laughed

"Not the one about you and Peyton in the trash can again" Simon whined

"No... This story is about the Pecos Man. He is a green slimy man who haunts the mote around the Wilmington battle ship. When I was in boy scouts... he came in and ate the whole den! Leaving me and Dan to fend for our selves. He is a horrible man who is friends with the screaming skull. They say anyone who goes to the battleship after hours gets eaten by him" Nathan said in a spooky voice

"That's totally not true Nate" Brooke giggled opening another Fuzzy navel bottle.

"Damn... it's locked!" Kevin complained once they drove up to the battleship

"Hello... It's 2 in the morning...Duh" Brooke laughed

"Oh well... hold on tight!" Kevin yelled plowing straight through the wooden fence.

"Woo whoo! Ride um cowboy!" Simon yelled opening his door and stumbling out.

"So... Men, what are we going to do at the abandoned ship?"

Simon, Nathan, and Brooke walked towards the ship but Kevin had other ideas. In his mind he had always seen himself as a pretty strong man and the chains hanging from t he battle ship looked like the perfect way to show everyone how strong he really was. He grabbed hold on the chain and started making his way up. He was about half way there when he looked down and saw the Alligators in the mote snapping their jaws at them.

"Hey guys... where did Kevie go?" Brooke asked tripping down the ladder to a compartment.

"He... He... He probably found a guy to make out with or something" Nathan laughed stumbling behind Brooke.

"Simon stop singing... that is a horrible sound!' Brooke screamed hearing a high pitch noise.

"That's not singing... Oh shit that's the alarm! Run!" Nathan yelled knocking Brooke on the ground

"Hey! Wait for me I'm a sissy!" Simon yelled trying to catch up

"Where is Kevin?"

Kevin dangled from the chains looking down that the water below him. He was so tired from climbing and couldn't make it any farther. Finally he had to let go.

Brooke, Nathan, and Simon jumped into the car and drove away as fast as they could. Since Simon was driving they had no clue where they would end up since he had never been anywhere around here.

"Driving, driving, driving, Applebee's has... oh wait that's ribletts...hey lets go and get some ribletts!" Nathan sang as they drove down the road

"Maybe we should go back for Kevie Doodle" Brooke yelled with her head out the window.

"Right... I'll turn around" Simon said making a sharp turn; Brooke's head just barely missing a tree.

"That was a close one!" Brooke giggled

They drove up close to the ship and got out.

"Kevin!" They all yelled

Then they saw it... a green slimy thing walking straight towards them

"It's the Pecos Man!!" Nathan yelled running back towards the car

Brooke and Simon followed close behind jumping onto the car and taking off with the doors still open

"Hey... Guys! It's just me! Kevin!" Kevin yelled trying to wipe some of the agley off of him.

But the car didn't stop. Nathan just kept driving and Kevin ran fast to catch them taking short cuts until he finally stopped in the middle of the road and waited for them to come. They couldn't miss him now.

"Nathan! Look out he's back!" Simon yelled

"Oh God... I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die ew... with Nathan and Simon" Brooke cried

"It's ok I'll just hit him!" Nathan laughed hitting the gas.

Kevin jumped out of the way into the woods and decided that maybe he should just wait until everyone was sober in the morning.

Well morning came and Brooke, Nathan, and Simon were already 6 hours out of North Carolina leaving Kevin to take the bus.

Kevin walked up to the bus station, still soaking wet and pulled out a soggy twenty to hand to the man.

"1 ticket to California" Kevin said

"You aint gonna ride on our bus like dat" The man said taking his twenty and shutting the window.

The moral of this story: Never go to the Wilmington Battleship after hours... The Pecos man may not get you but those damn chains might!

Hey Guys... Sorry for the short, kinda rushed chapter. My dad insisted that I put this chapter in my story so I did! The next chapter will be long and back to its usual funniness. Then the chapter after that is the last one!
