Author's Note: Hey all. That's so much for the continuing reviews. I'm glad that you all like this story and I'm happy you all have open minds to this sort of thing. Thanks for reading this up until now, and I hope you'll continue to read it.

PS: Cocole- Since I'm not her personal chauffeur, I won't know, but I'm gonna go with; 'she walked there'. She lives closer than Peyton does.

...WWHT...

Peyton smiled when she saw Brooke's car pull up into her driveway. At first she was worried, but she soon became happy when she saw that Haley was in the passenger seat. When Brooke had left the house, she was pretty sure that they were going to make up, but she wasn't a hundred percent sure. Nonetheless she was glad that they were together and she was even gladder that they were apparently going to spend the night. She watched as they got out of the car and began to walk over.

"So, you're sure that she's totally cool with us?" Haley asked as she and Brooke walked hand in hand to Peyton's front door. She was so overjoyed when she found out that Peyton was cool with them, but she didn't know just how cool she was. Did she just sort of accept the whole thing, but didn't want it around her or was she comfortable with everything?

"I think so," Brooke replied, trying to think back to the conversation she had with the blonde earlier. "She said she was cool as long as I don't talk about what you do with your tongue." She smiled, knowing Haley was about to have a fit. Haley stopped walking and turned to look at her.

"Why would you be talking to her about what I do with my tongue?" Haley asked, not knowing if she should be embarrassed or not. Brooke gave her an apologetic smile. Hoping Haley would think she was too cute to stay mad at.

"I'm sorry," she pouted. "I was just explaining what an amazing kisser you are and it sort of slipped out." Haley tried not to let a smile break through.

"I'm an amazing kisser?" she asked, a mixture or pride and surprise. Brooke gave her an 'Are you kidding me?' look before nodding emphatically. "Really?"

"The bestest," she cheered with a laugh. Haley giggled at the happy tone in her voice.

"You know that's not a word, right?"

"Since there isn't a word in the entire English dictionary to describe what an amazing kisser you, I had to make up my own." Brooke smiled, hoping that would get her some brownie points for later. Haley gave Brooke her best smile before leaning in to kiss her.

"You're lucky you're cute," she mumbled between kisses. Brooke had a teeth flashing smile spread on her face when they parted.

Peyton watched them from her window with a smile on her face. She was more than a little surprised that she wasn't uncomfortable with the sight of seeing her two best friends, who both happen to be girls, making out in front of her. She actually thought they made an adorable couple. She finally tore her gaze off them when she realized it was kind of weird and creepy to be watching them. A few moments later there was a knock at the door.

"Sorry, we don't want any girl guide cookies," she called through the door, knowing it was obviously them.

"Well it's a good thing it's your two best friends then," Brooke called back to her through the door. They proceeded to pound on the door until Peyton was forced to open it. They both had huge grins plastered on their faces when they met Peyton.

"Hey, guys," she greeted them with an equally happy smile. Brooke and Haley politely walked in when Peyton held the door open for them.

"What's up, P. Sawyer?" Brooke asked, stepping into the house, as Peyton shut the door behind them. "It's been a long time."

"Believe it or not," she began, frowning a little when she saw that Haley looked a little nervous. "Absolutely nothing has changed in the half an hour that you were gone."

"Well, of course," Brooke answered with a smile. "Nothing exciting can happen unless I'm here." Both Peyton and Haley shook their heads at her, both used to the cocky behavior of the cheerleader. Brooke smiled sweetly at them, taking of her shoes and moving further into the house that was like a second home to her.

"Um, Brooke?" Peyton called out to her. Brooke turned around to look at her.

"Yeah?"

"Why don't you head on up to my room?" Peyton suggested, moving her eyes in the direction of Haley so Brooke would know what was going on. "I wanted to talk to Hales for a second." Brooke looked between the two of them and stopped at Haley, silently asking her if it was okay. Haley nodded slightly, giving her a sad smile.

"Okay," Brooke answered, unsure of what they were going to talk about. She locked eyes with Haley. "Go easy on her, baby." Haley smiled as she watched Brooke make her way up the stairs to Peyton's room. Peyton couldn't suppress a smile at how sweet Brooke was with Haley. When she was sure that Brooke was upstairs she turned to Haley.

"What's up, Hales?" she asked. Haley looked at her in confusion. "You look kind of uncomfortable or something. What's wrong?" Haley looked down at the ground, before walking further into the house. Peyton followed after her, making sure not to crowd her space though.

"I'm just not sure how cool you are with us," Haley answered. They both stopped when they reached the living room and Haley finally looked up. "I don't know how natural we're allowed to be around you."

"Oh," Peyton said. She took a step closer to her friend. "Look, I don't have a lot of people in my life so my friends are pretty much the most important thing to me and you and Brooke are my best friends. Seeing you two happy, makes me happy." Haley smiled at her. "Not happy-happy. Not like pleasurable... I think I'm gonna stop while I'm ahead."

"I think that would be the best plan," Haley laughed. "So what was your final answer?"

"Just act the way you normally act around each other," Peyton answered. "I was watching you two before you came in, again not in a creepy way, and I thought you two were just so adorable." Haley blushed at the complement. "So, I say kiss away. Just keep it to a minimum. Nothing personal, I'm just not a big fan or PDA."

"Got it," Haley said with a smile, feeling a lot better knowing where Peyton stood on their relationship. "So, was that all?"

"Pretty much," Peyton said. She was trying to decide whether she should say what else she wanted to say. Haley started to walk to the stairs. "Actually, Hales," she called out. Haley stopped and turned back to her. "There was one more thing I wanted to say."

"Yeah?"

"Look," she started, getting a little uncomfortable. "Brooke's been my best friend since we were little, I know how she is and I just don't want you to get hurt." Haley looked at her strangely. "Now, I just found out about it tonight so I don't really know anything about your relationship other than the fact that you are heaven scent..."

"That's right, you don't know anything," Haley said, defensively. She didn't know where Peyton was going with this, but she didn't like it. Peyton heard the anger in her voice and quickly tried to finish.

"It's just that I've grown quite fond of you lately and I just don't want to see you hurt." Haley's features soften a little. "Brooke's track record in relationships isn't exactly pretty, but now that I think about it, she's never really had a boyfriend or, well, girlfriend before. She's always just gone on a couple dates, got bored and dumped the guy. I don't want that to happen to you."

"It won't," Haley told her with certainty. "Granted, I was never really friends with her before this, but I know how she used to be and trust me when I tell you that she's changed."

"Yeah, yeah, I can see that," Peyton reassured her. "I knew there was something going on, she's been happier than she's even been over the last month. I'm assuming you had something to do with that." Haley smiled.

"I hope so," Haley smiled. "Don't worry about me, Peyton. I really don't think that Brooke's going to hurt me." Peyton nodded, glad that she got that out of the way. "Thanks for looking out for me, Peyton. It really means a lot to me to know that you care."

"Good," Peyton replied. "I'm glad." Haley suddenly leaned in and gave her a big hug. The blonde was surprised at first, but hugged her back "What was that for?" she asked when Haley pulled away.

"Brooke told me that you threatened to kill her if she hurt me," Haley explained. "I thought that was the sweetest thing."

"Well, I hope you still think that when I tell you the same thing."

"I got it," Haley told her. "Don't worry, I won't hurt her, I promise."

"Then I guess my protective best friend duties are done," she sighed. She rolled her eyes. "You can come on down now, Brooke!" she called, knowing that Brooke was sitting on the stairs listening to them. They both smiled when they heard Brooke sigh. A moment later, Brooke was in sight.

"I don't know what you are talking about," she said, defending herself. She descended the stairs and walked over to them. She wrapped her arms around Haley waist and kissed her hair. "Don't listen to her, baby. She's telling you lies."

"Oh, I'm sure she is, Tigger," Haley laughed. "You guys wanna watch a movie or something?"

"Yeah," Brooke answered for the both of them, knowing that Peyton would be okay with that. "Why don't you go pick one, baby?" she suggested, letting go of Haley. Haley nodded and kissed Brooke lightly on the lips before heading into the living room to pick a movie.

"You're so good with her," Peyton stated, watching as Haley sorted through the movies in her collection. Brooke smiled, happy that she thought she was a good girlfriend. She turned to Peyton.

"I just wanted to thank you for looking out for her," Brooke told her. "It means a lot to know that someone else will be there for her."

"No problem," Peyton told her. "About the other things I said about you..."

"They weren't untrue," Brooke interrupted her. "No need to apologize. You had Haley's best interest at heart, but she was right, too. I won't hurt; I'd die before I did that. I've done enough of that already." Peyton smiled that how sincere she looked.

"I know." They two of the shared a mutual look of understanding and smiled.

"What do you say we go join my hot girlfriend in the living room?" Brooke suggested and Peyton laughed. "See what movie she's going to force us to watch."

"Let's go." They walked into the living room to find that Haley already had the movie picked out and set up. Peyton got comfortable in the chair and Haley and Brooke cuddled up on the couch to watch 10 Things I Hate About You. None of them knowing what was in store for them the next day at school.

...WWHT...
