"Ok girlies. Time to get up." Faith called out as she walked into Brooke's room the next day
Brooke and Peyton, startled from their sleep, quickly sat up in the bed.
"Shit! That was not something that I needed to see." Faith said as she covered her eyes when she realized Brooke and Peyton were topless
The couple quickly pulled the sheet up to cover themselves.
"Faith! What the fuck are you doing?" Brooke asked
"Get your asses out of bed. After I leave the room please. I'm taking you two out." Faith rolled her eyes and walked out of Brooke's room
"Well that was a rude awakening." Peyton yawned
"Literally. I'm gonna have to talk to her about barging into people room's like that." Brooke said
"Oh yeah, because you're one to talk. Babe, you are the worst at barging into people rooms. Or even houses for that matter. I think it's just payback." Peyton shrugged
"Shut up." Brooke tackled Peyton down on the bed and kissed her
"Well look who finally decided to join the land of the clothed." Faith joked when Brooke and Peyton finally emerged from Brooke's room 30 minutes later. "Took you long enough."
"Faith!" Brooke hissed, looking around panicked
"Chillax B. The parentals left about 15 minutes ago." Faith took a bite of a sandwich. "I got bored while I was waiting, so I raided your fridge."
"Dear God that's scary. Did you leave and food for the rest of us?" Peyton joked
"No." Faith answered and took another bite
"Ok Faith, what is it that you have planned that was so damn important that you had to come barreling into my room at 9 in the morning for?" Brooke asked
Faith smiled. "It's time for you two to experience fun the Faith way."
"Well, let's get this show on the road!" Peyton said
"Ok, but first you both need to go pack an overnight bag."
Brooke and Peyton looked at each other and shrugged as they went back into the room to pack.
The girls grabbed some breakfast from Brooke's before they made their way downstairs. Instead of going out the front like they normally did when they were going out, Faith led them the opposite way down to the parking garage.
"Faith, was your plan of a perfect day to abduct us, lead us away from civilization, and murder us?" Peyton asked as they followed Faith
"No dorkwad; we're going to the parking garage." Faith laughed
"There's a parking garage?" Brooke joked. "Wait, you don't have a car."
"Today, I do." Faith held up a set of keys
"Where did you get it?" Brooke asked apprehensively
"I jacked it from some random guy this morning." Faith joked. "I borrowed it from my dad." She shrugged
"And does he know you took his car?" Peyton asked
"That doesn't matter." Faith said
"Do you even have a license?" Brooke asked
"Minor details ladies! Good Lord!" Faith led them to a little MINI Cooper. "Now get in, hold on, and shut the hell up already!"
When they had all gotten into the little car, Faith buckled her seatbelt. "Now how do I turn this thing on?" Brooke and Peyton looked at her. "Joking." Faith threw the car in gear and the tires squealed as she pulled out of the parking space.
Brooke grabbed the door and gave Faith a frightened look. "Please try not to kill us."
"Come on B. Have a little Faith." Faith winked
"I did, and it wasn't all that great." Brooke mumbled loud enough for Faith to hear
"I resent that, bitch!" Faith said, mock hurt in her voice
"Girls! Please! Let's just have some fun!" Peyton rolled her eyes at the other two
"I agree with Blondie. Shut up B." Faith laughed as she pulled out into traffic.
"Jesus Faith! Where the hell are you taking us?" Brooke asked about 2 hours later
"We're getting there. About another 30 minutes." Faith said as she hummed to the music
"What is this we're listening to?" Peyton asked from the backseat
"It's an Italian rock band. Lacuna Coil. You heard of them?"
"No, actually. They're good. I like them." Peyton laughed
"The guy has a horrible voice." Brooke complained
"It grows on you after a while." Faith told her
"So what was it you ran into my house to tell me yesterday?" Brooke suddenly asked, realizing that Faith had never said why she came over in the middle of Christmas breakfast
Faith began laughing. "I totally forgot about that! I made it seem so much bigger than it was."
"And?" Peyton asked when Faith didn't continue
"Oh. Right. Well, my parents actually remembered that it was Christmas. First time in 3 years. And they remembered to get me something. A pet!" Faith smiled happily
"Aw! What did they get you?" Brooke asked, her love for animals making her smile at the thought of maybe a cute little dog or a furry kitten
"A fish. I named it Fish." Faith smiled
"Oh." Brooke said disappointed. She laughed when she saw the happy expression on her friend's face. "Faith, have you ever had a pet before?"
"No! I was never allowed to!" Faith made a face. "I guess a fish wasn't worth all that excitement, huh?"
"What? No! A fish is awesome!" Brooke laughed at her friend
They sat in silence after that, just listening to the music. Suddenly, Brooke took off her seatbelt. She turned around and started to climb into the backseat.
"B! What the fuck are you doing?" Faith asked as she tried to drive straight while trying toavoid being hit by Brooke's flailing legs
"If we are gonna be in this car for another 30 minutes listening to your shitty Italian rock, I need to keep myself occupied." Brooke explained as she finally got her entire body in the back seat and began kissing Peyton. "And the only thing I can think of is kissing my incredibly hot girlfriend all alone in the backseat. Even if it is the tiniest damn backseat I've ever seen."
"I can't believe that you got yourself back here Brooke. This car is like midget sized!" Peyton laughed at her girlfriend and kissed her
"Good God. You guys make me sick with all your lovey-doveyness." Faith rolled her eyes. "Please just keep the moans, whimpers, and lesbian sex at a zero, ok?' She turned her music up louder and shook her head
"Ta-da! We're here!" Faith said as she pulled up to a house
"And where exactly is 'here'?" Peyton asked as she looked up at the house
"Beach house. My parents and I came here a few summers when I was younger. When they weren't fighting or ignoring me that is." Faith turned off the car and got out. Brooke and Peyton followed.
"So where are we? And who owns this place?" Brooke asked
"Jersey. It belongs to my dad's boss."
"Faith! How do you expect to get in? What if someone's here? What if the electricity isn't on?" Brooke asked, counting off on her fingers
"What if I smack you for being annoying?" Faith laughed. "Damn B. Will you relax? We'll find a way in, I doubt anyone is staying here, it being the middle of winter and all, and the electricity bill is automatically paid by the company. Will you please just learn to trust me?" Faith said exasperated
"No! You're like me! All we do is get into trouble!" Brooke said
Peyton chuckled. "I think it will be fun. Now let's find a way in, because I'm freezing my ass off out here."
The three girls made their way up to the house and tried the door.
"Of course. That would be too easy." Brooke muttered. She walked around the porch and found an unlocked window. While Faith and Peyton stood there discussing the best way to get into the locked house, Brooke got the screen off the window, and somehow managed to get the window open. "Go me!" She congratulated herself as she climbed through the window. Seconds later, the front door flew open. "Did you ladies need a place to stay for the night?" Brooke asked with a dimply smile
"Holy fuck B! Do you have some secret life of crime or something?" Faith asked, impressed
"Well apparently I can now add breaking and entering to my list of things I've accomplished." Brooke laughed and stood aside as Faith and Peyton walked in. Brooke caught Peyton's arm as she walked by and pulled her in for a kiss
"Is that all you two are going to be doing?" Faith asked without even turning around
"Maybe." Peyton smiled and gave Brooke another quick kiss
"Well I'll just make sure to get the room furthest from yours." Faith laughed and went up the stairs
"That's probably a smart idea." Brooke said to Peyton when Faith was out of sight. "Who knew you were such a screamer." Brooke stuck her tongue out playfully at Peyton and slapped Peyton's ass as she walked past her
"Dude, that's so not cool." Peyton complained as she followed her girlfriend up the stairs
"Faith, what is this place?" Brooke asked later that night and she and Peyton followed Faith down a boardwalk next to the beach
"My parents used to take me down here. They have this fudge shop that's incredible, and sometimes they have these little shows they put on. Then at the end of the boardwalk, it's like this little carnival with rides and cotton candy and all that stuff." Faith explained
"It looks, umm… kinda dead." Brooke made face
"Yeah, I had a feeling it might be." Faith said sadly. "I figured we'd at least try. Besides, it was a fun road trip, and I just wanted to get out of New York." She shrugged
"It was a good idea. We'll make it fun." Brooke said and hugged Faith. Faith winced and Brooke dropped her arm. "You ok?"
"Yeah, I'm good. You know what, let's go walk on the beach. It's beautiful down there." Faith said as she started walking away from Brooke and Peyton
Brooke looked on, concerned, as her friend walked ahead. Peyton came up and put her arm around Brooke's waist. "You ok, Brooke?"
Brooke turned to Peyton and smiled. "Yeah." She kissed the blonde and they began to follow Faith
"Just a tip, next time we go to the beach in December, let's remember to bring a blanket." Brooke laughed
"I can go to the house and get one." Peyton stood up. "I'll be right back." Peyton left the huddle the three had made and walked down the beach
Brooke turned to Faith. "Ok. Spill."
"Brooke, what the hell are you talking about?" Faith shivered from the cold
"First off, you just called me Brooke. You haven't called me Brooke since we first started hanging out. Second, you dragged us 2 ½ hours away to a beach house you don't even own, in a car you 'borrowed' from your dad. And third, you haven't been acting like yourself at all tonight. So tell me what's wrong."
Faith chuckled. "I just needed to get away Brooke. Clear my head. The beach always does that for me. I'm sorry that I dragged you and Peyton along. I just figured it would be fun for the three of us to hang out together."
Brooke put her arm around Faith's shoulder and pulled the girl close. "Faith, I'm always here for you. Don't be sorry, ok? We're gonna have a blast. I'm Brooke Davis for crap's sake! Fun is pretty much my middle name."
Faith laughed and leaned into Brooke's embrace. "Thanks B."
Peyton, who had watched the two girls from down the beach, sighed and walked up to them. Why is it so hard to not be jealous when I see them together. They just seem to have this connection. Peyton shook her head. I'm just paranoid. "Found one. But we'll all have to share." Peyton said as she sat next to Brooke and spread out the blanket over the three of them
Brooke put her arm around Peyton also, and giggled. "Damn. This is the life. Two hot women on my arms? Yep, I'm a pimp."
The three girls shared a laugh and sat watching the waves crash onto the beach.
"I still think that hot chocolate is better with the little marshmallows." Brooke said as she looked intently into her mug
Faith and Peyton looked at each other and laughed.
"What?" Brooke asked as she looked at the two other girls
"You've been completely focused on your hot chocolate for the past 10 minutes. We know it's better with the little marshmallows, but dude, give it up." Peyton laughed at her girlfriend
Brooke pouted. "That's mean Goldilocks."
Peyton rolled her eyes at Brooke and turned to Faith. "So it's fucking freezing in here. I don't think the heater's working, Faith."
"I think you might be right." Faith agreed
"Damn it's gonna be a cold night." Peyton said
"I think I might have an idea." Brooke smiled
"You're smart; taking all the blankets into one room. Good thing it's a king size in here." Peyton said as she got comfortable in-between Brooke and Faith
"Do you two realize that this is every guys fantasy?" Faith asked
"Of course it is." Brooke said and leaned over to kiss Peyton. "Hey P. Sawyer." She whispered
"You realize that I'm right here, right?" Faith mused
"Uh huh. Your point?" Brooke continued to kiss Peyton
"Nothing." Faith rolled her eyes at the couple and turned her back on them. "Same thing I said in the car applies here. Got it?"
The girls mumbled a reply. A few moments later, Brooke started to moan. Then Peyton did.
"Oh God. I'm gone." Faith jumped up, but was stopped by Peyton grabbing her arm
"Faith, we're totally messing with you. Will you chill and lay back down." Peyton laughed
"You two are a laugh riot, you know that?" Faith said as she tried to get comfortable again
The next morning, Peyton was the first one to wake. She smiled when she realized that Brooke's hand was cupping her boob, and giggled as she leaned down to kiss her girlfriend; all the while keeping her eyes closed.
"Ahh!" Faith screamed. Realizing her hand was on Peyton's boob, she yanked her hand back. "Yikes!"
Peyton's eyes shot open and she sat straight up. "Faith!"
"Peyton! What the fuck are you doing!" Faith yelled
Brooke's head shot up from beside the bed. "What the fuck?" She asked, her hair a mess and her eyes wide
"Peyton just kissed me!" Faith said, giving Peyton a weird look
"Your hand was on my boob!" Peyton accused. "I thought you were Brooke!" Peyton and Faith both turned to look at Brooke. "What the hell are you doing on the floor?"
Brooke looked around. "I have no idea!"
The three girls kept looking at one another, and then burst out laughing
"That's an interesting way to start the day." Brooke yawned and jumped back into bed. "Scoot over. My ass is freezing."
"Is there ever a dull moment with you two?" Faith asked. She laughed, but got seriously quickly after. "I feel so violated. Keep your lips to yourself Peyton; or at least to Brooke."
"You feel violated? You were the one with your hand on my boob!" Peyton said
"Faith, I'm gonna have to ask you to keep your hands off my girlfriend." Brooke said
"I'm so sorry. I couldn't help it. Ever since she tackled me the first day we met, I've been wanting to cop a feel." Faith said sarcastically
"I knew it." Peyton said seriously
Faith shook her head. "I'm gonna take a shower." She got out of bed and walked out of the room
As she walked away, Brooke and Peyton both noticed a bruise on Faith's shoulder blade. Since she was wearing a tank top, it didn't cover the entire bruise. Brooke and Peyton turned to look at each other.
"What was that?" Peyton asked
"I have no idea." Brooke responded, worried about her friend
The drive back to New York was peaceful. Brooke and Faith hadn't started bickering at each other yet, and they were all just sitting in comfortable silence. Brooke was the first one to break that silence.
"Hey Faith? Me and Peyton, umm, noticed a pretty ugly bruise on your back earlier. What happened?" Brooke asked slowly and softly
"Huh?" Faith thought for a moment, and realization dawned on her. "Oh that? Brett was over helping me with some homework the other night, and we were goofing off. We were wrestling in my room and he slammed my back against my best post. I totally forgot about that." Faith laughed
"You know, if something's going on, you can-"
"Nothing is going on Brooke." Faith interrupted. "If you don't believe me, just ask Brett when we get home." She said shortly
"Ok. I believe you. I was just checking." Brooke said, not believing a word Faith had just said
"Well I appreciate it, but all is well. Don't worry about me." Faith reached down and handed Brooke something. "Pick out a CD." She thought for a second, and plucked the CD case from Brooke's hands and handed it back to Peyton. "Better yet, you pick out a CD Blondie. You have better taste in music."
"Faith! I'm offended!" Brooke gasped
"No babe, she's right. Your music taste sucks." Peyton agreed with Faith
"You guys are so mean. Why do you always gang up on me?" Brooke pouted and crossed her arms
"Because it's easy." Peyton and Faith both said in unison, sending them all into a fit of giggles
