"So guys, how was the trip?" Brooke asked when they had all gotten comfortable in the living room. Brooke and Peyton had cuddled up in a chair, and Brooke was playing with Peyton's curls.

Lucas groaned. "Long! And you do not want to be stuck in a car with these people for that amount of time."

"Dude, that's harsh." Nathan said

"At least Peyton wasn't driving." Haley joked

"Thank God for that!" Lucas agreed

"Hey! I am not that horrible!" Peyton argued

Brooke just laughed at her friends bickering at each other. God I've missed this! I don't know how I am going to go another two months without them when they all leave.

Brooke's thoughts were interrupted by someone placing a small kiss on her lips. Brooke looked down and smiled at the blonde on her lap.

"You ok?" Peyton asked softly as the Lucas, Nathan, Haley, and Taylor all argued about something else they had begun talking about

" At this moment, I don't think I could be any better." Brooke leaned down and quickly kissed Peyton

"Uh oh. Looks like the lovebirds want some alone time." Taylor observed

Peyton and Brooke smiled big. "I don't know what you are talking about." Brooke said, playing dumb

"Whatever!" Haley rolled her eyes. "Now tell us where we can all sleep so that we can go crash."

"I figured that me and Goldilocks can take my parents room, so that leaves my room and the guest room. And there's also a very uncomfortable pullout in the sofa you guys are currently sitting on."

"That works." Lucas yawned

"Oh yeah, my room has a queen sizebed, but the guest room only has a full size bed." Brooke added

"Brooke's room!" Lucas and Taylor shouted at the same time

"Dude, ladies first!" Taylor turned to Lucas

"Hell no! I'm not sleeping on the pullout. We can share the bed if you want, but I'm sleeping on the bed." Lucas argued

"Fine, but if you try anything." Taylor pointed a finger in Lucas' face

"That's not fair. I think that me and Haley should get the bigger bed since we're married." Nathan said as a lame excuse to get the bigger bed

Taylor walked past Nathan and patted his shoulder. "Don't be such a sore loser little brother. It's only for a week." She smiled innocently

"I don't care as long as I'm not kept up, or woken up by any sex noises." Haley said

"Oh yeah, I'm sure my roommate would love to know that I'm fucking her boyfriend." Taylor said sarcastically

"Wait. You and Sydney are dating? And you and Taylor are fucking? I'm confused." Brooke said as she crinkled her nose

"Yes, me and Sydney are dating, and no, me and Taylor are definitely not fucking. Trust me." Lucas cleared up

"Yeah, he wasn't good enough for me the first time. Why would I want him again?" Taylor joked in a serious tone

"Ouch. That hurts." Lucas said

"Where is Sydney by the way?" Brooke asked, breaking into Lucas and Taylor's banter

"She had to work TRIC this week, so she couldn't come." Peyton explained

"Oh. Dear Lord! I've only been gone for two months! What else has happened?" Brooke said

"Can we save that for another day. As of right now, I just want to sleep!" Haley said, yawning big as to prove her point

"Sounds good. Well, goodnight everyone! And welcome to New York!" Brooke giggled

After finally getting everyone situated, Brooke and Peyton retreated to the privacy of the bedroom.

"Gosh! What a day. Actually, what a couple of months!" Peyton said as she kicked off her shoes and began undressing to put on her pajamas. When she got no response from Brooke, she looked up, worried. "Brooke? Baby? Are you listening to me?"

"I heard you Peyton." Brooke rolled her eyes and started to get dressed for bed as well. "I was just distracted by my half-naked girlfriend that I haven't seen in 2 months."

Peyton laughed and shook her head as she walked into the bathroom. "Well you have me all to yourself for the next two and a half weeks." She started brushing her teeth

Brooke went into the bathroom and came up behind Peyton and wrapped her arms around Peyton's waist. Then she kissed her neck, and started a little trail of kisses from her neck to her shoulder. "You have no idea how beautiful you are." Brooke breathed against Peyton's skin

"Oh really?" Peyton laughed

Brooke glanced up to look at Peyton in the mirror, and burst out laughing. Peyton had toothpaste running down her chin. Brooke dropped her arms from around the other girls waist and joined her at the sink. She loaded her toothbrush up with toothpaste, and began brushing as well.

"You sure do know how to kill the mood, Colgate." Brooke started cracking up at her new nickname for Peyton

Peyton rolled her eyes and rinsed her mouth. "You're a nerd. You know that?"

"That's why you love me!" Brooke said around her toothbrush

Peyton walked back into the bedroom and got into the bed. She yawned as her head hit the pillow, and she snuggled into the comfort of the bed. As hard as she tried, she couldn't seem to keep her eyes open. Just as sleep was about to completely overtake her, she was jolted back to reality when a body landed on top of hers.

"You didn't think that I was gonna let you fall asleep just yet, did ya Sleeping Beauty?" Brooke smiled mischievously from her position straddling Peyton

"I guess not." Peyton giggled

Brooke flashed Peyton a dimply grin, and leaned down to kiss her girlfriend. Peyton's hand came up and nestled itself into Brooke's long hair.

"You have…no idea…how damn much…I have missed…you." Brooke mumbled between kisses

"Me too." Peyton whispered

Brooke began kissing down Peyton's neck and then to her collarbone, and then stopped as she pulled the other girls shirt off. She lightly kissed down Peyton's chest and began to nibble on Peyton's soft stomach. Brooke giggled when she felt the other girls muscles tighten and her back arch, and she brought her lips back up to Peyton's. Peyton flipped the girls so that she was on top of Brooke, Brooke's legs around her.

"I love you Brooke." Peyton said, looking deep into Brooke's eyes

"I love you too Peyton." Brooke said as she leaned forward and caught Peyton's lips with her own

Peyton deepened the kiss, gently biting Brooke's lower lip. She then moved her head so that she was playfully biting Brooke's earlobe. She placed her hand under Brooke's shirt, and slowly started tracing circles on the other girl's stomach. Her hand started to slowly move upward as Peyton began to kiss Brooke's neck.

"Mmm…Peyton." Brooke moaned. After another couple of seconds, Brooke suddenly opened her eyes. "Peyton?" It took her a moment to realize what had happened, and she started laughing hysterically when she realized that her girlfriend had fallen asleep on top of her.

"Oh Peyton. What am I gonna do with you?" Brooke laughed again and positioned herself so that she was comfortable, and soon after she fell into a deep sleep.

"Brooke." Peyton whispered softly into Brooke's ear

"Hmm?" Brooke mumbled

"Are you awake?"

"No. Go away." Brooke turned her back towards Peyton

Peyton laughed as she started to kiss the back of Brooke's neck. Brooke finally sighed and rolled over.

"Morning Goldilocks." Brooke smiled, her already husky voice filled with sleep

"Sorry. I couldn't sleep. I guess that I'm just excited to be here!" Peyton beamed

"Yeah, that and the fact that you fell asleep on top of me last night." Brooke said sarcastically

Peyton got wide-eyed. "Oh my gosh! I did, didn't I?"

"Unfortunately. It was just getting good." Brooke pouted

"Well how about I make you breakfast to make it up to you?" Peyton suggested. "I think everyone else is awake too; I heard voices not to long ago."

"Food is good." Brooke mumbled as sleep threatened to take over again

"Brooke Davis! If you don't get up right now…I wont kiss you all day!" Peyton warned

Brooke shot out of bed. "I'm up! I'm up!" She stretched and yawned

Peyton threw the covers off her and stood also. She looked down and laughed. "I should probably put on a shirt before I go out there." She looked around. "Now where did you throw it?"

"How do you that you just didn't do it in your sleep?" Brooke asked

"Please. I strictly remember you tearing it off my body."

Both girls giggled

After finding Peyton's shirt, the girls walked out of the room to find Lucas, Taylor, Haley, and Nathan all eating breakfast and talking to someone.

"Morning B. I was wondering if you two were ever gonna come outta there!" Faith stood and walked over to Brooke and Peyton. "Hi. I'm Faith." She held her hand out towards Peyton

Peyton smiled politely and shook the other girl's hand. "Hi. I'm Peyton." She took in the girl's combat boots, cargo pants, zip-up hoodie, wavy dark hair, and gorgeous smile. At least the girls she's cheating on me with are hot. Peyton mused.

Faith smiled. "I know. Brooke never stops talking about you." She rolled her eyes. "Its hilarious how she always manages to bring you up in any conversation."

Peyton turned to Brooke. "Is that so?"

Brooke shrugged. "You're always on my mind Babe."

Peyton turned back towards Faith. "Brooke's told me a lot about you too."

"Don't believe anything she says. I'm ten times worse." Faith winked. "Well I just wanted to stop by and bring the Shrubbery Hill gang some breakfast."

"Tree Hill." Haley corrected from the table

"Ah. So you're Tutor-Girl. I was wondering why Haley didn't sound familiar."

Haley rolled her eyes. "Brooke's crazy names for everyone. Has she given you one yet? Because if not, I guarantee you its not far off."

"Hey Pey, what was that new one that I gave you last night?" Brooke asked as she turned to look at Peyton

"Whoa!" Everyone else, including Peyton, shouted

"That is definitely my cue to leave. Catch ya later B. It was nice meeting you all." Faith said as she walked out the door

Brooke rolled her eyes. "Oh. Never mind."

"So that's Faith, huh?" Lucas asked

"The one and only." Brooke confirmed

"She's a hottie." Taylor said

"Yeah, if you're into the whole combat boot thing." Peyton remarked, trying to sound jealous

"Oh, I am." Taylor winked

"Ok. Are all the girls that I have some kind of history with gonna turn gay?" Lucas joked

Taylor slapped his arm. "Lucas Scott!" She paused or a moment. "If I knew your middle name, I would have thrown that in there too."

Lucas laughed. "No one is to ever know-"

"Eugene!" Brooke shouted

Lucas looked at her in horror, and Brooke just smirked. "Don't make an ex mad Luke. Especially when I have dirt on you!" Brooke turned to Peyton as everyone else laughed and made fun of Lucas. "You ok Baby?"

"Yeah. I'm great." Peyton lied, hoping Brooke wouldn't see right through her

"Liar." Brooke kissed Peyton. "She might be hot Peyton, but you are the only girl my heart cares about."

"Well what about your lips?" Peyton half-joked

Brooke kissed Peyton again. "Exactly what I thought; just you."

"So is that all you two are going to be doing this week?" Nathan asked. Brooke smile devilishly as she was about to respond, but Nathan held up his hand. "Never mind. I don't even want to know what you were gonna say."

"Well I'm still gonna say it." Brooke laughed. "No, this isn't all we are going to be doing. In fact, you guys are going to be joining us for something." Everyone looked at her, terror written on their faces. No one was ever sure with Brooke. "Go get dressed in sweats, and meet us downstairs in the lobby at 1." Brooke blew a kiss to everyone as she pulled Peyton back into the room.

"And let the Brooke-filled week begin!" Haley muttered

"This isn't fair Brooke. You know that I only play basketball!" Lucas said as he lined himself up next to Brooke

"Well Broody, guess it's time for you to broaden your horizons." Brooke giggled and playfully shoved Lucas' shoulder

Everyone had met Brooke down in the lobby like they were told to find out that Brooke had set up a game of football with her New York friends so that the Tree Hill gang could get to know Brooke's new gang.

Brooke, Lucas, Faith, Haley, Scooter, and Jeremy all made up "Team Brooke", named by Brooke, and Peyton, Taylor, Nathan, Elisha, and Brett all made up "Team Kick-Ass", named by Taylor. "Team Brooke" had won Rock/Paper/Scissors to win the extra person, thus making the teams 6 on 5. They figured that allowing Haley to be quarterback would even things out a little.

"Ok. Umm…give me the ball!" Haley yelled

Faith started cracking up as she hiked the ball to Haley, and both teams spread out across the field. Faith got open, so Haley passed the ball to her. It was a surprisingly good throw, and Faith caught it and started running. She was suddenly tackled, and found her attacker to be none other than a smiling Peyton.

"Nice catch." Peyton smirked

"Nice tackle." Faith countered. As Peyton made no move to remove her body from on top of the other girl's, Faith just raised an eyebrow. "You like it on top, I suppose?"

"Since I have you here, I wanted to say something."

"Well spit it out Blondie, we don't have all day. And you are making me quite uncomfortable."

"Lets just get this over with. I love Brooke. So stay the hell away from my girlfriend."

"Believe me, not a problem. First off, I don't even want her. Second, even if I did, there is no getting through the love she has for you. Unless you get her drunk." Faith added with a smirk

Peyton raised her hand to smack Faith, but Faith caught her by the wrist. "Uh uh. That's not very nice." Faith dropped the sarcastic tone to her voice and got serious. "Look Peyton, she loves you. The thing between me and her was a drunken mistake. I mean hell! I'm not even gay! I don't want Brooke as anything more than a friend. Ok?"

Peyton smiled. "Good answer." Peyton removed herself from on top of Faith, and held out a hand to help Faith up. Faith grabbed it and pulled herself up. "You're a cool chick. I like you." Peyton smiled

"That's good. I feel the same way. Brooke's lucky to have a girlfriend like you." Faith held out her hand towards Peyton

"Are you hitting on me?" Peyton joked as she shook Faith's hand

Faith winked. "Just don't tell B."

Both girls laughed as they went their separate ways to join their teams.

"Now that's interesting." Brooke said to Lucas as they stood together and watched the scene between Faith and Peyton play out.

"Yeah. That would have been bad if Peyton slapped Faith. Faith looks like she can hold her own, and a few more." Lucas shuddered

"No shit!" Brooke agreed

"Well, at least they seem like they are getting along now." Lucas shrugged his shoulders

"I guess. Unless they are plotting to kill me." Brooke joked

"Shh. You aren't supposed to know about that." Lucas held a finger to his lips

"Well that's just dandy!" Brooke joked back. She suddenly turned serious. "Hey Luke, how about we go hang out sometime this week."

"What did you have in mind." Lucas asked hesitantly

"You'll just have to find out."

"I knew you were gonna say that. As long as it doesn't involve getting me drunk, tattooed, and in trouble, or me, you, Taylor, and alcohol, I think we'll be in the clear."

"Shut up!" Brooke slapped Lucas' arm and flashed him a smile. She turned to the rest of the players, and shouted, "Ok people! Lets move our asses and play some football!"

After the football game, which "Team Kick-Ass" had won, everyone had decided that grilling hamburgers and hotdogs sounded like fun. The two different groups clicked well, and they had been having a blast all day, so they didn't see a reason for it to end right after the football game. The girls and the guys had gotten split up, and somehow it was the girl's responsibility to get the grill and everything else prepared at the loft while the guys went shopping.

"Hey B? Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Faith asked Brooke as Brooke was trying to light the grill

"Of course Faith. How hard can it be?" Brooke continued to fiddle with all the knobs and dials on the grill

"Brooke, I really don't think that you should keep poking and prodding it like that. Would you like some help?" Taylor asked as she came out onto the balcony to see what was going on

"I know how to work a grill Tay. I just cant remember how to start it." Brooke furrowed her brow as she pushed one of the buttons, and flames shot into the air. Faith, Brooke, and Taylor all let out a yelp, and Peyton, Haley, and Elisha ran out onto the balcony.

"What! What happened!" Elisha asked, panicked

"Brooke's trying to burn the lofts down." Taylor shook her head and rolled her eyes as she walked back into the loft

"Hmm…that's not a bad idea." Brooke said thoughtfully. "Then I could move back to Tree Hill."

"Yeah right B. You'd go to jail for arson. And believe me, I know that New York isn't Shrubbery Hill-

"Tree Hill." Haley said from her spot leaning on the railing as she looked out at the city

"Whatever." Faith waved her hand. "My point was…I don't really remember what my point was. But jail would be bad." She concluded

"Yeah. And gross." Elisha added with a serious face

The girls laughed and Haley, Faith, and Elisha left Brooke and Peyton on the balcony. Peyton went over to the now vacant railing, and she leaned lightly against it as she took in the city around her. Brooke looked at Peyton and smiled, and went to stand next to her.

"You have to cutest little look when you're deep in thought about something. You know that?" Brooke said softly

"And you have the same cute little look when you are concerned." The girls turned to look at each other. "I'm fine Brooke. Really." Peyton smiled

"I know. It's just that things seem kind of…" Brooke stopped as she tried to think of how to explain her feelings

"Awkward?" Peyton suggested

"Yes, actually. Why is that?"

Peyton sighed and turned again to look out at the city. "I really don't know." She said barely above a whisper

Brooke reached out for Peyton's hand, and laced her fingers with the blondes. "Its funny though, because this just feels so right." Brooke whispered

Peyton turned to Brooke again and smiled. "Have I ever told you that little whisper thing that you do is incredibly sexy?"

"What whisper thing?" Brooke asked, clueless

"Never mind." Peyton leaned in and gave Brooke a sort, but sweet kiss. "That feels right too." Peyton said, going back to theprevoius conversation

Brooke pulled their bodies together. "Come here you."

Brooke kissed Peyton softly, but as the kiss continued, it became more passionate. Not a lustful passionate like many of their other kisses, but a kiss filled with longing and love. Both girls were so lost in each other, the world around them stopped. The only thing that mattered was being in each other's arms.

"Hell yeah!" A loud voice made the girls jump apart. "Now that's what I'm talking about!" Brett smiled devilishly

Peyton stood there, not quite knowing what to do, and Brooke just rolled her eyes. "Sorry Peyt. Brett here is like the Tim of New York."

"Ah. Makes sense now." Peyton laughed

"Just cook the food Brett. I'm starved." Brooke said as she pulled Peyton back inside to join the others

Brett just smirked and said to himself, "And Davis just keeps getting hotter. Too bad she's gay." He shrugged and started humming to himself as he began to cook dinner
