I had a case of writers block, but I am now back full force. I have two chapters for your reading pleasure, and I hope that everyone likes: ) Enjoy! Drama is soon to abound.

MONDAY

Monday started off Brooke and Peyton's last week together. Brooke, still figuring that their week had to rock, had invited Lucas, Haley, Nathan, Mouth, Skills, and Fergie all over to eat pizza and have a game night. Tim, being the complete goofball that he is, invited himself along also."You owe us 28, Nate!" Peyton exclaimed as Nathan landed on Pennsylvania Avenue.

A huge game of Monopoly was being played at the dining room table. Peyton and Brooke were on one team, Nathan and Haley on another, and Lucas and Tim were on their own. Mouth, Skills, and Fergie decided to sit out and start a game of poker instead. Brooke decided to play both games, hoping to win some money at poker, so she was bouncing back and forth between the two.

"Full House!" Brooke yelled, making everyone jump

"Where did you learn how to play so good?" Mouth asked as Brooke pulled all the chips in the middle towards her. Her stack was twice as high as the rest of the guys.

Brooke shrugged. "I don't know. But isn't it great?" The guys all scowled. "Well I'm going to go join the other table for a while. I'll be back though!" She winked as she walked off.

"Great!" Skills said sarcastically.

As Brooke bounced back over to the Monopoly table, she sat herself down on Peyton's lap. "How we doing Blondie?"

"God Brooke! Seeing you tonight reminds me of why your nick-name is Tigger!" Haley laughed

Brooke laughed and shrugged. "So are we kicking some ass?"

"We're doing pretty good." Peyton handed Brooke the money.

"Damn! 2000 plus! Too bad its not real!"

"I'll give you some money if you two make out." Tim pointed at Brooke and Peyton. "You two have been awful cozy all night."

As much as the girls wanted to keep the relationship low-key, it was hard for them to act like nothing was going on since it was only their good friends they were with. They decided not to say anything outright, but they wouldn't deny it if it was brought up; leave it to Tim.

Brooke and Peyton smiled at each other. "How much money you got Smith?" Brooke asked coyly.

Tim got wide-eyed and started fumbling around in his pockets. He threw some money on the table. "20!"

"Make it 40." Fergie said abandoning poker to watch the girls.

"50." Mouth said as he threw in another 10.

"70." Skills threw in his addition of 20.

The girls were shocked at how much guys were willing to pay to watch some girl-on-girl action.

"90." Lucas said as he threw in a 20 and winked at the girls.

"What the hell! Make it an even 100!" Haley exclaimed throwing in the last 10 Everyone looked at her like she had lost her mind. "What? Brooke's poor! It's something to help my friend out!" Everyone just laughed.

"Well Peyt, looks like we get 100 to make out. You up for it?"

"Gosh. I don't know. Let me think." The two girls sat there a moment in silence while all the guys sat there looking at them impatiently. Haley just laughed at the situation.

"Yeah, I think we could manage that." Peyton finally spoke

The girls smiled as the slowly leaned in. They touched lips, and then pulled away laughing.

"Hmm. That was an easy 100!" Brooke teased

"No way! There has to be tongue!" Tim shouted

"Well, if you insist." Brooke turned herself so that she was straddling Peyton, and she reached around her head with her hand and pulled their faces together. They started kissing slowly, and gradually deepened the kiss. After about a minute, they pulled away to see that everyone but Haley was watching closely; she was counting her Monopoly money.

"Oh. My. God." Tim said. "That was AWESOME!"

The two girls smiled.

"We'll be here all week." Brooke said as she picked up the 100 off the table

"Ok Brooke. Get off me now. Go back to poker. I have this under control." Peyton shoved the brunette off her.

"Fine, I see how it is." Brooke pouted as she stood. "But I'm keeping the money!" She said as she stuffed the cash into her pocket and stuck her tongue out at Peyton. Peyton frowned as Brooke walked away.

As Brooke walked from the table, Lucas got up and went out onto the back patio. Brooke saw this out of the corner of her eye, and followed him out there. She found him leaning against the balcony smoking a cigarette.

"Ooh. Sexy. Nice habit, Scott." She joked as she joined him at the balcony.

"Oh. Hey Brooke. Sorry." He was about to put out the cigarette when Brooke grabbed it from his hand and started smoking it.

"Don't worry. Unless you aren't willing to share." She winked as she handed it back to him. He in return handed her the pack and the lighter. She lit up and they stood in silence for a few minutes just smoking their cigarettes.

"So what's up with you?" Brooke finally asked, breaking the peaceful night's silence. "You're more broody than usual."

"I don't know." They sat in silence again. "So how long have you and Peyton been dating." He finally asked.

"About a week. I'm so sorry about everything Luke. I really did love you. I mean, I still do. But I'm in love with Peyton. I think. God Lucas! I don't know what to do about our relationship! It's not like any of the other relationships I've had!"

"I can tell. I can see the affection in both your eyes when you look at each other, and even when you talk about her. You can tell by the smiles on your faces sometimes that you are thinking of the other. Brooke, I've never seen you like this. It's good for you. For both of you."

Brooke smiled. "Thanks Luke. You have no idea how much that means to me." She flicked her cigarette over the balcony and turned to Lucas and kissed his cheek. "I think that there will always be a part of me that loves you; for the way that you are, and because you are the first person I have ever loved."

It was Lucas' turn to smile. "Thanks Brooke. That's a nice thing to know." He pointed towards the door. "Now get back in there and win your poor ass some more money."

Brooke gave Lucas one last smile as she turned to walk away. She had only gone a few steps when Lucas reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Hey. Don't be afraid to tell her how you really feel; about your relationship, but even about you. She cares about you as much as you care about her, and you both need each other equally."

Brooke nodded, and without another word between the two, they parted ways.

TUESDAY

"Ok. If we win we get…" Haley stopped as she stood there thinking.

"Free lunch the rest of the week." Peyton finished, figuring Haley had taken enough time to try to decide something.

"Free is my new favorite word!" Brooke said with a mix of sarcasm, cheerfulness, and depression.

"Fine. If we win, we get-" Nathan started

"To watch you two make-out again!" Tim interrupted

Brooke flashed him the finger

"Tim, please! I cant keep watching my two best friends make-out. It disturbs me!" Haley moaned

"Like I was saying…" Nathan started again. "If we win, you girls have to find us dates for the after-party on Thursday, because the Ravens are gonna kick some Pinkerton ass! Got to have a party to celebrate that!"

"Nathan Brandon Scott!" Haley stomped her foot onto his.

"Ow! Hales! I meant find them dates!" Nathan pointed to the other guys

"Fine. Now can we get this started. We do have school tomorrow and we have other things we need to accomplish tonight." Peyton said, arms crossed, starting to get impatient at the bickering.

"Yeah, bring it on!" Brooke shouted

The same group from the previous night were gathered at the Rivercourt to play some basketball. It had started out with only the guys wanting to play, but when the girls started to get bored sitting there, they joined in. So now it was Brooke, Peyton, and Haley against Lucas, Nathan, and Tim. Skills, Fergie, and Mouth had all decided to sit and watch, figuring that they wouldn't be able to play well while laughing at the 3 girls try to beat the Tree Hill Ravens top players.

"We get the ball first, right?" Haley asked with an innocent smile towards her husband

"All yours Hales." Nathan said as he checked her the ball

"Great!" She smiled as she passed to Peyton. Peyton shot and scored, and the guys looked on shocked. "Let the games begin!" Haley cheered, her innocent smile replaced by and evil smirk.

"So who knew we could kick so much ass at basketball. I mean, we so just beat them at their game!" Brooke squealed happily as she, Peyton, and Haley pushed shopping carts through Wal-Mart. Well, Peyton and Haley were pushing the carts while Brooke sat in Peyton's.

"Well I don't exactly think we did it fairly Brooke. I mean, you were all over Peyton, which distracted Tim. I was all over Nathan, which distracted him, and Lucas was just too baffled by all of us girls to actually shoot straight." Haley said as she was looking at a CD.

"Yeah. Really great. Hey Brooke, you know, it would be a lot easier to push this thing if your heavy ass wasn't in it." Peyton said in reference to the shopping cart.

"You know P. Sawyer, you really should try not to be such a bitch to me. I am leaving in like 4 days." Brooke fake-pouted.

"You don't have to keep reminding me, Babe. Stop being such a brat." Peyton returned

"Ok. The lovers quarrels must stop when I am present. I feel like I am a part of your relationship." Haley said

Peyton playfully grabbed Haley's hand and kissed it. "You could always join if you'd like." She winked and then laughed at Haley's horrified face.

"Peyton Sawyer! First of all, I'm married! Second of all," Haley pulled Peyton into a tight embrace and leaned her face in so that their lips were only an inch apart, "I thought we were going to keep our affair a secret from our lovers?" She placed a quick kiss on Peyton's lips and winked when she pulled away.

Peyton and Brooke's faces mimicked the others identically.

"Haley James Scott!" Brooke shrieked

Haley started laughing hysterically. "You should see the look on your faces!" She continued laughing as she pushed her cart forward.

Brooke and Peyton looked at each other and laughed when they noticed that they were wearing the same expression.

"Haley, you never cease to amaze me." Peyton said, awestruck, as she pushed her cart forward also. "You are my hero."

"I cant believe that you just kissed my girlfriend!" Brooke laughed

"Yes. I do have a few tricks up my sleeve. Now lets get you some boxes so you can start packing your shit tomorrow." Haley responded, picking a box or two up off the floor and placing them in her cart.

"Yeah. You guys still up for coming over tomorrow night to help me?" Brooke asked as she hopped out of Peyton's cart and threw some boxes in the now vacant area.

"Wouldn't miss it."
