THURSDAY

School went by slow and uneventful on Thursday. Everyone was waiting for that night when the Raven's would play their biggest rivals, Pinkerton. It was one and half hours until game time, and the basketball players and all the cheerleaders were in the gym practicing. There were a few people in the stands watching the players warm up.

"Ok girls. This is my last game before I leave. Lets make everything count ok?" Brooke told her squad. When they all nodded their heads in agreement, Brooke turned to the basketball players. "Hey boys!" They all turned to look at her. "Win it for me ok?" She flashed them a dimply smile.

"You got it Davis." One of them shouted.

"You know Brooke, contrary to what you believe, the whole world does not revolve around you." Peyton teased.

"That's is Sawyer. I'm tired of your shit. Drop down and give me 20!" Brooke pointed to the floor.

"Hmm…ok." Peyton started to lift her middle finger up and down, continuously flipping Brooke off.

"Very mature." Brooke rolled her eyes and turned back to the other girls. "Like I said before, tonight is my last game. With that considered, I need to choose someone to take my place as captain." Brooke sighed dramatically. "I know that this person wont ever quite measure up to the great Brooke Davis, but she will come close enough to lead you all. And your new captain is…" Brooke paused for another dramatized effect. "Theresa. Congratulations."

"Umm…Brooke? We already knew that. She is co-captain." One of the cheerleaders pointed out.

"Brooke has to make everything as dramatic as possible. You should know that by now." Peyton joked.

Brooke stuck her tongue out at Peyton and Peyton did the same in return.

"Alright girls. Go get ready for tonight. And remember…make me proud!" Brooke said as the group dispersed.

Peyton and Brooke were left standing there as the rest of the girls left. Lucas and Nathan jogged up to them, taking a break from their practicing.

"So are you gonna miss this Brooke?" Nathan asked

"Yeah. But I guess its ok. I mean, there's nothing I can do about it." Brooke shrugged

"You should get emancipated." Nathan suggested.

"I thought about it, but then I realized that it would be pointless. I'm turning 18 in less than 4 months, and if I even suggested getting emancipated, my parents would fight me to the death on it. It's just not worth it."

"Well, you're gonna be missed." Lucas said. "So Pey, what are you gonna do about cheerleading with Brooke leaving and all?"

"Oh! I quit!" Peyton laughed. "Tonight is my last game too. Cheerleading was never really my thing. I just did it because Brooke dragged me along because she couldn't do it by herself. And now that she's leaving, I'm finally free."

"Makes sense." Lucas said in response. "Well, we better get back to practicing before Whitey chews our asses out. See you girls tonight."

"Ok. See you guys later. Good luck tonight!" Brooke said with a wave as they jogged away. Brooke then turned to Peyton and threw her arm around the blonde's shoulder. "Come on Girlfriend. Lets get ready to cheer."

"Yippee." Peyton cheered sarcastically. The girls laughed as they walked out of the gym.

STANDS

"And the Ravens are up by 6. Lucas Scott has the ball; he passes to Nathan Scott. Nathan shoots…and he SCORES! So far tonight the Ravens have owned this game!" Mouth announced over his web broadcast.

Everyone in the stands went wild, cheering loudly for their undefeated team.

COURT

Down on the court, the players traded high fives while the cheerleaders went even crazier than the fans in the stands.

"GO RAVENS!" Brooke shouted

"WOO-HOO!" Another cheerleader yelled

"HELL YEAH!" Peyton screamed, earning a warning look from Brooke. Peyton just smiled innocently.

Once the screams of the crowd had died down and the cheerleaders had settled down, Peyton leaned over and whispered into Brooke's ear. "You know, I will be grateful to your mother for one thing; if she hadn't taken you away, I would still be stuck in this horrific cult that you call cheerleading. Remind me to thank her next time I see her. Or better yet, why don't I just show you my appreciation?"

Brooke turned to Peyton. "My my. You are one horny little girl, aren't you?"

"Yeah, well you're gonna be gone for 4 months. I'm trying to get it all out of my system now."

The girls laughed as they turned their attention back to the court.

STANDS

Back in the stands, Haley felt a tap on her shoulder, and found Sydney standing there smiling.

"Hi Haley. Mind if I join you?" Sydney asked hopefully

"Sydney! Hey! No! I don't mind at all." Haley smiled at the other girl. "So how are you liking Tree Hill so far?"

"It's great. Brooke was right on about the boredom though. It's really bad!"

"Tell me about it!" Haley agreed.

Their attention was drawn back to the court when another one of the Ravens scored. The crowd went wild once again.

"This is about the only time that its not death-threatengly boring!" Haley shouted to Sydney over the crowd.

"This is great!" Sydney shouted back. "I love basketball!"

"Really? That's awesome! Hey, since it looks like we are probably gonna win, you should come to the after-party. Its at Nathan's parent's beach house." Haley invited.

"A party? On a school night?" Sydney asked incredulously

"Yep. We're undefeated so far. The teachers know we like to party on the nights we win, so if it's a school night, they amazingly go easy on us the next day!"

"Wow! That's fucking awesome!"

"Yeah! What can I say? Tree Hill likes to party!"

"Count me in! I knew I would like this town." Sydney smiled.

"Aww… poor Haley. You have to 'ride the bus' baby!" Brooke said happily.

"Guys! No! I'm done. I've had way too much to drink already!" Haley protested

"Hell no! Rules of the game Haley; you lost, you ride!" Lucas said

The party at Nathan's beach house was beginning to wind down after about 3 hours. Now there were just some people milling about, all doing random things. Haley, Lucas, Brooke, Sydney, and some other people were seated around the dining room table playing "Ride the Bus". Peyton, Nathan, and some others were just sitting around watching them play.

"Ok. I'm so done. I'm cutting myself off." Haley slurred after riding the bus, which consisted of her chugging two cups of whatever it was that Nathan kept handing her.

"Yay! I get to see Tutor-Girl drunk before I leave!" Brooke clapped

"Tutor-Girl?" Sydney asked, taking a drink.

"Yes. Before Nathan and Haley get together, Nathan's grades sucked really bad. So he got Haley to start tutoring him. Then they started dating, blah, blah, blah; hence, 'Tutor-Girl'!" Brooke smiled contently

"Ah. I see." Sydney said getting up to get another drink.

The crowd continued to die down over the next hour until the only people left were Nathan, Haley, Brooke, Peyton, Sydney, Lucas, Tim, and Mouth; all eight were incredibly drunk.

"I cannot believe that Mouth is drunk!" Lucas said, laughing at Mouth who was currently dancing and singing on top of a table with the girls all stuffing money into his pants.

"I know. Who would have thought that he was such a ladies man!" Nathan said shaking his head. "It's all Brooke's fault. She kept spiking his drink with that nasty-ass vodka of hers."

"Excuse me? Vodka is the only drink even worth drinking!" Brooke said, stumbling back over to the table.

"Yeah. Ok." Nathan said taking a drink of his beer.

"Ok people. Time for truth or dare." Tim said

"Arent we a little old for truth or dare, Tim?" Haley asked

"Hey, at least I didnt say spin the bottle." Tim shurgged. "Brooke...truth or dare?"

"Smith, you are so predictable. Truth." Brooke chose

"Have you and Peyton had hot lesbian sex yet?" Tim asked immediately

"Tim! I dont want to know that!" Haley covered her ears

"Well I do! Earmuffs for all that dont want to know." Tim said to the group. He turned back to Brooke.

"Well?"

"As a matter of fact...no. We haven't. Not that it's any of your business."

"Aw! Thats not a good answer!" Tim complained.

"Fine. You want me to lie? Then yes, we have. We do it all the time." Brooke said, seductivly licking her lips at Peyton.

"I dont think that I need to be here for this!" Sydney said laughing.

"Hell no New Girl! You're not going anywhere. Truth or dare?" Brooke asked

"Dare."

"Well I cant think of any dares, so you're getting a truth. What's your biggest secret?" Brooke asked mischeivioulsy.

"Brooke!" Peyton scolded. "Leave Sydney alone! Go easy on the newbie, we dont want to scare her away so soon!"

"No. Its ok." Sydney re-assured Peyton. "Biggest secret? Hmm..." Sydney thought for a moment. "That would have to be having a secret relationship behind my boyfriends back back where I used to live. No one ever knew about it until just now. Not even him."

"Wow. Nicley done!" Brooke said, admiration in her voice.

"Thanks. Too bad neither worked out!" Sydney laughed. "I dont even know where to start...umm...Peyton. Truth or dare?"

"Truth." Peyton said

"Oh come on! You guys are no fun!" Tim whined.

"Biggest regret." Sydney asked Peyton

"And to think that I was tryin to defend you!" Peyton laughed. "Biggest regret? Ruining Brooke and mine's friendship over Lucas."

"Hey! Sitting right here!" Lucas said, offended.

"You know what I mean Luke. But it all worked out. We're closer now than we ever were before. Right Brookie?"

"You know it Babe." Brooke smiled and kissed Peyton

"Finally! Something good!" Tim cheered

"Wow Peyt. You're doing pretty good if that's your biggest regret!" Lucas said

"Yeah. Come on! Tell us something juicy!" Mouth said giddily.

"Ok. No more alcohol for Mouth." Brooke pointed to Mouth

"Fine...biggest regret? Doing drugs." Peyton confessed

"Peyton! What?" Haley exclaimed loudly

"Ow. Eardrums babe." Nathan said rubbing his ear

"I said tried. Over and done." Peyton explained. "Besides, i had some motivation to get over it." Peyton took Brooke's hand in her own and smiled. "Enough about me. Mouth! Truth or dare?"

"Dare!" Mouth said quickly

"Give Tim a lap dance. While stripping." Peyton exclaimed, grinning evilly at Tim.

Tim looked horrified as Mouth stood from his chair. "Whoa! Down boy!" He pointed towards Mouth. "I am not letting him anywhere near my lap!"

"Aw. But Timmy, you said you wanted some action." Brooke giggled

"You know, this is a good time for me to go to bed." Haley yawned. "You guys are welcome to crash. Just find a bed or a couch and make yourself at home."

"I'm going to go with Haley. I don't want to see this." Nathan stood up and walked behind Haley. "There's food in the kitchen if anyone wants breakfast tomorrow."

"Thanks Nate. Night guys." Peyton said

Since Tim continued to protest Mouth's dare, and everyone else was on the verge of passing out, they all took up Haley's offer to crash. Since none of them were sober enough to drive home, they figured that it would be the best option.

BROOKE AND PEYTON

"God! What a night!" Brooke said as she and Peyton got into bed. They had snagged one of the beds in one of the guest rooms. Brooke yawned and snuggled up to Peyton. "You ok baby? You're quite." Peyton didn't respond. "Peyt? Babe?" Brooke sat up and looked at Peyton, and realized that the blonde was out cold. "Gosh. Lightweight." Brooke kissed her girlfriend and snuggled back up to her and fell into a deep sleep.

NATHAN AND HALEY

"Hey Nathan?" Haley lightly started rubbing his back.

"Yeah Hales? What's up?" Nathan mumbled sleepily

"I got a call from my sister today. She's coming back into town and needs somewhere to stay."

"Your sister? As in 'Taylor the Terrible'?" Nathan turned to face Haley

"Don't call her that. As bad as she may be, she's still my sister. And that doesn't change the fact that she is coming and she's gonna need somewhere to stay. So is it ok if she stays with us for a little while? I mean, she'll find someone and end up shacking up with them within the first week. So what do you say?"

"It's your decision Hales. Whatever you want to do." Nathan kissed her lightly. "Now go to bed. Unfortunately, we still have to get up for school in a couple hours."

LUCAS

Lucas had nabbed the guest room that had the bed and the sofa. Lucas had gotten the bed, and Mouth had passed out on the couch.

"He is never drinking again!" Lucas moaned as Mouth snored loudly. Finally after trying to get back to sleep unsuccessfully, Lucas threw the covers off of himself and walked out to the kitchen to get a drink.

After Lucas had gotten a glass of milk from the fridge, he turned around and had to suppress a yelp.

"Holy fuck!" Lucas whispered, holding a hand to his chest. "You trying to give me a heart attack?"

Sydney smiled. "No. Just couldn't sleep." She leaned against the wall.

"Me neither. My roommate wont stop snoring." Lucas laughed.

"Well, that's better than mine. Tim wont stop trying to get me to fuck him. I finally told him that I had to pee. That was 15 minutes ago. Hopefully he's asleep now."

"Yeah, I'm sorry about him. None of really know what to do about him." Lucas drained his glass of milk and placed the glass in the sink. He then walked up to Sydney. "What do you say we throw Mouth in with Tim, and you can come sleep in my bed." Lucas suggested.

"Oh, Lucas…I-" Sydney started, but Lucas held up his hand

"I meant that you sleep in the bed, and I'll sleep on the couch that's in there."

"Really? You sure?"

"Absolutely. Now lets go see if we can get enough sleep to actually function tomorrow at school."
