"Brooke…Brooke sweetie wake up" Lucas said, shaking her and kissing her good morning. "We have to get ready, our flights in like 3 hours and we have to meet everyone at Mom's in an hour"

"What…no" Brooke rolled back over and buried her face in the pillow.

"Brooke…come on" Lucas laughed.

"Fine, Lucas" Brooke whined, rolling back over and pulling herself up. "What time is it?"

"5 in the morning"

"Ugh" Brooke groaned. "Madison still asleep?"

"Yah, I figured I'd let her sleep until she woke up herself…she's dressed fine"

"Uh huh…ok" Brooke yawned, getting up out of bed and kissing Lucas. "Why did we book a flight this early?"

"So we wouldn't waste a day flying"

"Oh" Brooke giggled, putting toothpaste on her toothbrush. She brushed her teeth and was about to get ready when she heard Madison crying. She ran to her room and saw Madison sitting up in her bed sobbing.

"Mommy…" Madison sobbed.

"Maddie, sweetie, what's the matter?" Brooke asked, concerned. Lucas walked in, looking concerned as well.

"Stupid whore stairs" Maddie sobbed into Brooke's shoulder, gesturing frantically in the direction of their winding spiral staircase.

"I think she had a nightmare" Brooke explained. Lucas nodded and sat down on the bed with Brooke and Madison.

"Hey princess, did you have a bad dream?" he asked. Madison nodded and continued crying into Brooke's shoulder.

"Hey sweetie pie dreams aren't real, you know that, right? Mommy told you that last time" Brooke whispered, stroking Madison's brunette hair and glancing at Lucas. Madison had nightmares around once every few weeks and then she'd be scared for a few days afterwards and Brooke and Lucas had no idea what they were about or what to do. They usually just let her cry about them because there was no use telling her that they weren't real. Madison stopped crying and leaned against Brooke.

"That's my happy girl" Brooke giggled, tickling Madison. She smiled but didn't look fully cheered up. "Hey baby doll, you wanna come help mommy get ready and do her hair?"

"Uh huh" Maddie sniffed and Brooke picked her up and carried her to her room.

"Ok baby sit here" Brooke said, sitting Madison down so she had a clear view of Brooke. Madison was really attached for a few hours after her nightmares and would sob her heart out if Lucas or Brooke disappeared for even a second. "Ok what should I wear today?"

"Halter!"

"Baby airplanes are cold, my shoulders will freeze"

"Oh…sweater!"

"In August?" Brooke laughed.

"Uh huh!" Madison giggled, bouncing up and down.

"You bounce so much Madison, I might just call you bouncy" Brooke giggled.

"I'm not bouncy, I'm Maddie!" Madison giggled. "You look prettyful mommy"

"Aw thank you sweetie pie you look gorgeous" Brooke laughed, sitting down on the bed and letting Madison climb into her lap. "Hey, are you excited about going to California?"

"Uh huh" Madison giggled. "Water"

"That's right baby, lots of water" Brooke said, hugging Madison close and leaning against the headboard. "Where's daddy?"

"I'm here" Lucas mumbled, coming out of the bathroom dressed but looking sleepy. "Do we have all our luggage in the car?"

"Yup!" Brooke said, bouncing off the bed with Maddie and following Lucas out the door. "I am SO excited!" she giggled, kissing Lucas. "Good thing we won those free tours and Nathan has a beach house there"

"I know…our luck! This should be so much fun" Lucas said, kissing Brooke and opening the car door for her. "I'm so excited; I haven't been to California in a while"

"I know! I haven't been there since like…a family trip a long time ago when I was like 12"

"Ah…Brooke Davis when she was 12" Lucas laughed.

"I hated Jr. High"

"Me too" Lucas laughed. "Look, Madison's asleep again" Madison was curled up in Brooke's lap, fast asleep with her blanket wrapped around her and her teddy bear.

"She looks so precious"

"I know…" Lucas said, stroking Madison's brunette hair. "She must be tired"

"Yah…5 in the morning is not a good time for anyone" Brooke yawned.

"Oh look everyone's ready" Brooke said, scooting down to let Haley, Peyton, Anthony, Catherine, Karen, Alexis, and Jenny into the limo. Lucas climbed out and kissed Brooke and Madison bye and then got into the other limo with the guys.

"Your girl wiped out?" Peyton asked, rubbing Catherine's back.

"Oh yah" Brooke laughed. "She had a nightmare and she cried for a while and I think she's just really worn out" Brooke said. "Kitty Cat and Jenny are fast asleep already" she observed.

"Oh yah, Jenny like threw a fit about waking up…I swear she sleeps too much"

"Speaking of sleeping…" Brooke pointed to Haley and Anthony fast asleep. "I guess we're all kinda lazy…"

"Talk about" Peyton laughed. "I'm really excited about California, though, I've never been there"

"Oh my god, you have to visit Rodeo Drive!" Brooke said. "Best shopping place known to man…besides New York City, of course"

"We are at the airport, I will unload your luggage and take it up, it would be best if you would proceed to the check in area" Ashton instructed an hour later.

"Wow…he's hardcore" Peyton giggled.

"I know…he's the family chauffeur" Brooke giggled, climbing out of the limo and adjusting Madison. "Hey Maddie, sweetie, we're at the airport" she said. Maddie opened her eyes sleepily and looked around.

"Mommy! We at the airplane place!" she shrieked with excitement. "Why?"

"We're going to California, baby" Brooke laughed. "Did you forget?"

"California?"

"Uh huh…we're gonna go to Los Angeles first"

"Where the evil monster lives?"

"Umm…I don't remember any evil monsters…hey Lucas, did you say something about evil monsters and California?" Brooke asked.

"No" Lucas said confused.

"The monster, daddy, the water monster…Lachiness"

"Oh…I think she means the Loch Ness monster" Lucas laughed.

"What does that have to do with California?"

"Los Angeles sounds like Loch Ness, I guess" Lucas laughed.

"She is so attentive!" Brooke commented.

"Gets that from me" Lucas smirked, kissing Brooke. Brooke giggled and elbowed Lucas in the ribs.

"She looks like me though" Brooke countered.

"I's both your baby, mommy and daddy!" Madison whined impatiently. "When we go whoosh?" she asked.

"In an hour princess" Lucas said, letting Madison climb into his arms. "Are you gonna have fun in California?" he asked her.

"Uh huh! I's gonna be mean to Lachiness"

"Sweetie the Loch Ness monster is just a story…and it's not in California, its somewhere in Europe"

"Oh! Good" Madison said, patting Lucas's head. "Where's Snowflake?"

"She's not coming to California with us" Brooke laughed.

"She's not?" Madison asked, looking shocked.

"No baby she's with Mouth"

"Oh" Madison said, looking a little dejected. "Why's kitty cat still sleeping?"

"I think she's tired munchkin" Peyton said, rubbing Catherine's back and shifting her. "Hey Jenny…wake up" Peyton laughed. Jenny opened her eyes sleepily and looked at Madison.

"My favorite little person ever" she giggled, motioning for Madison to come.

"Jenny!"

"Maddie…" Jenny said, letting her climb into her lap and hugging her. "How are you?"

"Hot"

"Aunt Brooke" Jenny said. "Your child"

"I know" Brooke giggled. "But doesn't she look hot?" she motioned to Madison sitting in Jenny's lap, telling a story.

"Hotter than any other three year old out there" Peyton laughed.

"Ok we have our luggage checked in" Nathan said, sitting down on one of the chairs with Anthony fast asleep on his shoulder.

"Good…so now we get to we get to wait 45 minutes" Lucas whined.

"Its ok baby" Brooke giggled, putting her head on Lucas's shoulder. "You'll be fine"

"Yah Lucas…don't be whiny" Alexis giggled, toying with her engagement ring.

"I'm not whiny!" Lucas said.

"Yes you are" Haley giggled.

"NO"

"Uh huh" Alexis, Peyton, Brooke, and Haley chorused.

"At least Maddie loves me" Lucas said.

"You whiny daddy" Madison called from Jenny's lap.

"Mommy I don't like airplanes" Madison sobbed into Brooke's shoulder. The air turbulence was a little heavy and Madison didn't like it. Brooke exchanged a worried look with Lucas and rubbed Madison's back.

"Its ok baby, its ok" Brooke said, hugging her and stroking her hair. "The airplane is just a little bit bumpy right now"

"No it mean!" Madison cried.

"Come here princess" Lucas said, taking Madison from Brooke and hugging her. "Be daddy's perfect little angel and stop crying, huh? You're scaring mommy" Madison nodded and buried her face in Lucas's shoulder. Lucas put the blanket over her and patted her back softly.

"How do you do that?" Brooke asked.

"I'm good like that" Lucas laughed.

"I feel bad for her, I remember when I was little I hated flying"

"Yah and the turbulence isn't helping" Lucas said. Nathan nodded and motioned to Anthony who had a terrified look on his face and Catherine who look shell shocked. Jenny, of course, was sound asleep. They had had the first class section reserved for them and it was just them in the section, so they all chatted and tried to get their kids' minds off the horrible air turbulence.

"Mommy, are we there yet?" Madison asked, lifting her head, still under the blanket.

"Haha Maddie you look so cute" Brooke giggled. Madison giggled and nodded and climbed back into Brooke's lap. "And we'll be there in…2 hours" Brooke answered.

"TWO HOURS?"

"Uh huh" Brooke grimaced.

"Does they have a Target?"

"They have a SUPER Target" Brooke laughed. Madison shrieked with delight and bounced up and down.

"Daddy they haves a SUPER Target" she giggled.

"That's wonderful baby" Lucas laughed, shaking his head. "Brooke you have permanently corrupted this child"

"I know" Brooke giggled, kissing Lucas. "Hey Lucas, where's Maddie?"

"I don't know Brooke…where is she? Did we leave her at Target?" Lucas asked.

"I's right here!" Madison giggled.

"I don't see Madison…" Brooke said, pretending to look around.

"I's right here, mommy!" Madison giggled, kissing Brooke and Lucas on the cheek.

"Oh we found Maddie!" Lucas laughed, tickling the little girl. Madison giggled and leaned back against Brooke and Lucas.

"I love you mommy" Madison said.

"Love you too baby" Brooke said.

They past the next two hours talking and playing games and discussing what they were going to do when they got to California. When the flight finally landed and they finally got their luggage and made it to Nathan's beach house, everyone was tired and exhausted.

"Mommy!" Madison yelled, jumping on the bed. "Look it bouncy!"

"Just like you baby" Lucas laughed, catching her and kissing her. "Come on, lets go downstairs so we can get something to eat"

"Ok daddy…lets eat at Target!"

"Baby, Target doesn't have food" Brooke laughed.

"Uh huh, you boughted milk there"

"That's grocery shopping" Brooke laughed.

"Uh uh"

"Uh huh"

"Brooke and Madison…I swear you two are children"

"Mommy not baby! Mommy's mommy" Madison corrected Lucas, patting him on the head. "You silly daddy"

"Am I?" Lucas laughed.

"Uh huh…look, kitty cat awake!" she shrieked with delight, running to give Catherine a hug.

"Could it BE hotter?" Peyton said, pulling her curls up into a ponytail and sighing.

"I know…hey Nathan, what the hell happened to the air conditioning?" Haley yelled.

"I'm working on it babe!" he called back from the air conditioning room. Brooke giggled and leaned over to Peyton.

"Should we get the kids changed and out to the beach?"

"Yah that would be a good idea" Peyton said. "Catherine, Jenny, Madison, and Anthony…go get your bathing suits" she called. The kids rushed upstairs to get their bathing suits and descended the stairs. Catherine and Jenny were carrying classic full pieces, but Madison had a cute little bikini in her hand. Haley rolled her eyes as she tied the string on Anthony's trunks. Brooke, Peyton, and Haley changed into their bathing suits and walked out to the beach, with Nathan, Lucas, and Jake in hot pursuit.

"You look so sexy Broody" Brooke giggled, wrapping her arms around Lucas and kissing him.

"You look hot Cheery" he laughed, kissing her back. "I love your yellow bathing suit, it's my favorite" he said.

"Cause it's so skimpy?" Brooke giggled.

"No…ok yah" he laughed, kissing her again. "Look at our daughter…already talking to boys…wait she can't talk to him!" Lucas said indignantly.

Brooke giggled and winked at Madison, who looked back at Brooke and giggled. Lucas looked disturbed and shook his head no frantically at Brooke but she silenced him with a kiss and drug him over to where Nathan, Jake, Peyton, and Haley were trying to build a sandcastle but with no avail.

"Need help, guys?" Brooke laughed.

"Yah we do" Haley whined. "It doesn't look right"

"Haley knocked over the castle because one of the towers was lopsided!" Nathan informed Lucas and Brooke indignantly.

"It WAS!"

"That's the perfectionist Haley for you" Lucas laughed, sitting down on the warm sand.

"I am NOT a perfectionist" Haley countered.

"Uh, yah you are" Peyton giggled, putting water in their moat. "All done!"

"Its not done, look-" Haley was cut off by everyone yelling "NO!"

"FINE be that way!" Haley said, sticking her lower lip out and pouting. Nathan laughed and kissed her and she giggled and started drawing in the sand.

"Mommy, look!" Madison came running up to Brooke. "I can does a cartwheel!" Madison, to Brooke and Lucas's enormous surprise, landed an almost perfect cartwheel.

"Wow, baby, that was so good! You should be a gymnast" Brooke said, taking Madison into her arms and kissing her.

"I should?"

"Absolutely" Lucas said. "I haven't seen a three year old land a perfect cartwheel since…ever"

"I's good at this mommy?"

"Wonderful" Brooke said, exchanging an amazed look with Lucas. They had had no idea Madison was a gymnast type of person.

"She's good, Lucas" Brooke said.

"I know we'll put her in a gym class when we get back" Lucas answered. "Hey where are mom and dad and Alexis?"

"They went to visit Andy's cousin or something" Peyton said, throwing sand in the air.

"Daddy…" Madison said, coming over to Lucas.

"Yah princess?"

"Me and Catherine and Anthony have a play"

"Uh huh" Lucas laughed.

"We're gonna perform it" Catherine informed them importantly.

"Okay" Brooke said, preparing to laugh till her stomach hurt.

"Its called Rapunspell"

"Rapunzel, Maddie!" Anthony whined.

"It called Rapunzeld" Madison attempted to correct it. "She has really long hairs that look like spaghetti"

"And it takes her twenty ten hours to brush it" Catherine butted in.

"Uh huh, and it all frizzy" Madison scrunched up her nose. Brooke and Lucas were shaking with silent laughter by now and trying to unsuccessfully contain it. "Mommy says if you don't condition, it gets gweasy" Madison informed them. "And Rapunzeld didn't take baths with her duckies' causes she was ins a dirty tower" Maddie scrunched up her nose. "Kitty cat's Rapunzeld"

"Rapunzeld can I see your hair?" Anthony screeched.

"No I'm conditioning it!" Catherine screeched back.

"But how am I gonna get up there?"

"Up where?" Catherine asked, confused, pretending to condition her hair.

"To the castle"

"She in a castle?" Madison asked. "I's in the castle too!" she giggled, running over to join Catherine. Anthony shrugged and shrieked "Madison can I see your hair?"

"No, mommy says I have to condition it" Madison informed him importantly. Brooke was crying with laughter now and everyone else was trying hard not to. The kids' play ended dramatically with Madison "going to Target" Catherine getting married to a sand monster and Anthony being a world champion.

"That was great!" Brooke said, wiping a tear. "Just great. Did you get it on tape, Jake?"

"Right here" Jake held up the camera.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Brooke was retelling the kids' play to Andy, Karen, and Alexis who were shaking with laughter just hearing about it. The kids were all asleep, tired from the day, and after recounting the day's events, everyone headed back to their rooms.

"Hey Brooke you wanna take a walk on the beach?" Lucas asked.

"Uh huh…Haley's watching Madison" Brooke whispered, slipping on her flip flops and walking out the door. Lucas took her and they walked near the water. The moon was shining and throwing Brooke's face into a glow, and Lucas felt his breath catching again and again.

"You look beautiful, Brooke"

"Aw thank you" she smiled.

"So today was interesting" Lucas laughed.

"It was" Brooke answered, smiling as she recalled everything they had done.

"Are you having fun?" Lucas asked.

"So much fun" Brooke said. "And this walk is really romantic" she whispered.

"I know…that's why I asked if you wanted to go on one" Lucas whispered back, turning her around and kissing her. Brooke smiled and kissed him back, and they continued walking down the beach, holding hands.

"Hey Lucas?"

"Yah?"

"I love you"

"I love you too, Brooke" he said. "More than you'll ever know"
