Still don't own any rights...

(One year later)

F.Y.I Haley is a teacher for second grade, Lucas is in the NBA, Nathan is an ex-NBA star and now is in advertising business, and Brooke is a clothing designer/ fashion writer, Peyton is in the film industry-cartoonist drawer. And Jake is an architect.

(Haley and Lucas Shopping)

Haley: (Looking at a shirt) So Brooke is going to be in town.

(Lucas looks at Haley but tries to ignore what she said)

Haley: I know you heard me.

Lucas: And?

Haley: I just thought you would want to know. I mean you guys were together for over three years and were going to get married need I remind you.

Lucas: I know. I know. Haley when are you ever going to let this go?

Haley: When you get rid of that hussy you're dating.

(Lucas has a flashback)

(Lucas helping his mom clean up in the café)

(Lucas turns around)

Brooke: You were right Luke.

Lucas: About what?

Brooke: I can't keep shutting people I love out.

(Lucas smiles questioningly)

Lucas: What are you saying Brooke?

Brooke: I'm saying I Love you Lucas Scott and I want this to work.

Lucas: Are you (Before he can say anything Brooke kisses him)

Brooke: Does that answer your question?

Lucas: No I'm going to need a direct answer on that. (He said sarcastically) (Brooke hits him and they kiss again)

(Back to actual time)

Haley: See you were thinking about her.

Lucas: No I wasn't.

Haley: Uhuh is that what you keep telling yourself?

Lucas: Did you find anything you wanted because as much as I enjoy this whole Brooke thing I think I'd much rather be at a bar. (Pauses) Getting drunk!

Haley: Okay I get the picture.

Lucas: Thank you!

Haley: Come on I found a shirt. Lets get out of here. I'm suddenly not in the mood for shopping either.

Lucas: See what I mean just saying the name ruins the day. Way to go Hales!

(Haley pays for her shirt and they leave the store)

Haley: Funny. (Lucas and Haley share a laugh)

Lucas: What now?

Haley: Why don't we go back to my place and order in some Chinese.

Lucas: Oh you know how to get me into bed don't you? (They laugh)

Haley: Yeah add some alcohol to that and I'll get you there quicker.

(Lucas glares at Haley not finding it as funny)

Haley: Come on.

(Lucas gets in the car; Haley starts to but someone calls out her name)

Brooke: Haley!

(Haley turns around)

Haley: Brooke what are you doing here?

Brooke: I told you I was coming.

Haley: I know but I thought you weren't coming until this weekend.

Brooke: Yeah my boss decided I could come earlier because I have to do some research with some guy from advertising.

Haley: Oh. So are still staying with Nathan and me?

Brooke: Actually I thought it would be better if I just stayed in a hotel. Is that Nathan with you?

Haley: Um no it's Lucas.

Brooke: Oh well then (Pauses) tell him I said hi

Haley: Will do. Listen if you change your mind you can stay with us. And even if you don't want to you should come over sometime this week.

Brooke: Okay I might do that.

Haley: Okay good then I'll see you soon. Bye

Brooke: Bye. (Winks)

(Haley gets in the car)

Lucas: Don't.

Haley: Don't what?

Lucas: You were going to say something.

Haley: No I wasn't.

Lucas: I know you.

Haley: Okay fine I was going to say something.

Lucas: Well don't say it!

Haley: Fine I wont.

Lucas: You are going to say something aren't you?

Haley: I wont say what I was going to but she said to tell you hi.

(Lucas rolls his eyes)

Lucas: Well tell her I said hi too. (He said sarcastically)

Haley: Why don't you tell her yourself when she comes over sometime this week?

Lucas: What?

Haley; I'm sorry you wouldn't let me say what I wanted to say.

Lucas: Please.... You did it on purpose.

Haley: For one thing I didn't do it on purpose. (Lucas gives her a glare) Okay maybe just a little bit but even if I didn't see her she'd still be coming over whether or not you are here so get over it!

Lucas: Whatever Haley.

(Lucas drives off)

(Nathan, Lucas, and Haley talking)

Haley: I ran into Brooke.

Nathan: Yeah Lucas told me. (Nathan gives Haley the look)

Haley: What?

Nathan: You did it on purpose Hales. You knew she was coming.

(Haley smacks Lucas)

Lucas: Hey!

Haley: You think I set it up for her to just "accidentally"(Uses her fingers to quote) bump into me with Lucas.

Lucas & Nathan: Yes!

Haley: Well for your information she wasn't supposed to be in town until Friday.

Lucas: So you didn't plan it?

Haley: (Shakes her head and holds up hand) Scouts honor.

Nathan: So how's Chace doing?

Lucas: Ah he's doing all right.

Nathan: You doing okay?

Lucas: I could be better but this is what's right for him.

Haley: I think you did the right thing Luke. (Said sympathetically)

Lucas: Why does it hurt so much then?

Haley: It always does. (Haley hugs Lucas from the back; he rubs her arm)

Lucas: Thanks Hales well I have to get going.

Nathan: See you tonight?

Lucas: What's tonight?

Haley: Yeah what's tonight?

Nathan: We're all going out. You and me, Lucas and (Haley interrupts)

Haley: That thing.

Nathan: Haley be nice.

(Haley scrunches her nose at him)

Lucas: Okay I'll see you two tonight.

(Haley kisses Lucas on the cheek)

Haley: I'll try but I'm not promising anything.

Lucas: Uhuh! Bye.

(Lucas leaves)

Haley: Why did you have to do that? (Hits Nathan)

Nathan: Hey what was that for?

Haley: You know I don't like that thing.

Nathan: That thing is Lucas girlfriend so you better find a way to like her.

Haley: Uh!

(Next day)

(Brooke walking down the street and sees Peyton)

(Brooke and Peyton stop in front of each other)

Peyton: Hey. (Dully)

Brooke: Hi.

Peyton: Are you living here again?

Brooke: Nope.

Peyton: Brooke...(Brooke interrupts)

Brooke: Peyton I'm not ready to do this right now.

Peyton: Okay. (Nods)

Brooke: I have to get to a meeting.

(Peyton nods and watches Brooke walk away)

(Fade out as Brooke enters a building)
