NOTE FROM AUTHOR/

Thank you all for reviewing.

GingerSnaps14: I love them together too. But just so you are warned it may take awhile for them to 'get together'. In the meantime we have the Brucas story I am writing to keep us interested.

Karmabellexx: Thank you! You keep commenting on mine I will keep commenting on yours! Actually your story is so good I'd read it even if you didn't comment. But getting your review was nice.

Swedishblonde: Thank you!

Nathan'sRaven: Actually most people share your opinion; which is why my story isn't that well liked. Well you are going to have to share 'your boy' because he is a hottie! I love Brooke, and I tried to be as true to the character as possible. Please update on your own story! I am dying to find out what happens! And thank you for reviewing every chapter and being honest.

Chapter 9

Two can play this game

Three hours later Peyton, Lucas, and Brooke stood in the doorway of the Lucas residents. They had already stopped at Peyton's house, which technically still was Peyton's house, seeing as her dad still owned it.

"Lucas, is that you? Come help me with the-" Karen stopped in mid sentence upon the entrance of the three some. Her mouth opened and she raised a hand to cover it. "Oh my." She ran over to Brooke and Peyton and engulfed them into a hug, feeling tears well up in her eyes. "Girls you will have to excuse me. I seem to have turned into an emotional old woman. Lucas, you didn't tell me Brooke and Peyton were in town."

Lucas shrugged and hugged his mother after she had let Peyton and Brooke catch their breath. "I thought maybe they should be the ones to tell you."

Brooke felt slightly uncomfortable standing next to Karen in her seducing outfit. She loved the woman, and always had. But if Karen only knew what she was planning to do with her son, she knew without a doubt there would be tension. She continually tugged up her low-cut t-shirt. All the while Peyton found herself more at ease around the older woman. "Karen, you still look amazing. I heard about someone getting hitched soon! I want all the details!"

Karen laughed and hesitated for a moment before sitting at the table with the two girls. Lucas just smiled and went to grab glasses of lemonade. "If Lucas hasn't already invited you two to the wedding, I wish you would consider this your invite. Actually, I know it's last minute. But I want you guys to be bridesmaids."

Both girls gasped.

"Karen! We couldn't!"

"Brooke's right, you've planned your whole wedding. We can't just barge in. We're just happy you are happy. We don't need you to accommodate us."

"Thank you for the concern girls, but it would be no problem to me. It would be a great honor. I knew both of you girls as more then Lucas's girlfriends, and friends. I saw you girls as daughters of my own. I would like nothing more then the two girls I love more than anything ,to be accompanied by my two sons. I needed to find girls to stand with them anyways. Please, for my sake, tell me you will do me this big favor."

"Karen…..We'd love to."

Peyton nodded in agreement with a huge smile and both girls leaned in to hug Karen.

"Shall we continue our tour?" A voice sounded from the doorway. Lucas was leaning against the door frame with two drinks in his hands.

"Don't let me interrupt you. I will be in the kitchen cleaning up. You girls have fun now. I will have Lucas get your number and call you with the information."

Lucas smiled at his mother. Karen slowly got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen with a huge grin plastered on her face. Lucas didn't waste a moment before handing the girls their drinks and linking their arms, leading them down the halls of his house.

"I see your mother is still as great as ever." Peyton remarked leaning her head into Lucas's shoulder like old times.

"You doubted?"

"She seems much happier then I've ever seen. She's practically glowing." Brooke remarked but stopped when it dawned on her what room they were in. Both girls looked at each other with unreadable expressions. And a smug Lucas led them deeper into the walls of horror.

"Any memories coming back to either of you?" Lucas casually asked, even though it was obvious he was enjoying their squirming. He let out a laugh when Peyton hit him in the arm.

"Lucas! You pervert!" Peyton shook her head. She bit her lip to hold back the laugh that was trying to escape. Eventually it broke and she burst out laughing. She leaned against a wall to hold herself up.

Brooke looked around Lucas's room. Lots of memories came, everywhere she turned another ghost haunted her. But she had to stick to the plan. Racking her brain, trying to find something to do other then sit there and blush. She walked over to his dresser while Peyton and Lucas were fighting and went through his top drawer.

Peyton stopped hitting Lucas when she noted his attention was on something else. She followed his confused gaze to where Brooke was and crossed her arms watching her also.

Brooke paused momentarily to the silence and looked up to find Lucas and Peyton watching her. Her pursed lips curved into a sexy smile. "A long time ago I lost my favorite thong, I was wondering if it could still be here. And I couldn't help but wonder if you still wore the same boxers as you used to." She gave a sexy wink and continued her search.

Lucas blinked, unsure of what to say, until Peyton burst out laughing and gave a slow "Ewwww." He walked over to Brooke and stood alarmingly close behind her. She shivered feeling his hot breath on the back of her neck. She turned around to find his face about an inch away from hers. He lowered his voice so only she could hear.

"I don't but I'm sure you will soon become acquainted with the boxers I own now. In the meantime, about that thong… think I know exactly the place to look. He took Brookes elbow and started walking towards the bed. Brooke in somewhat a trans like state followed him. Peyton remained against the wall unsure of what to do. Lucas lightly pushed Brooke into a sitting position on the bed but to his pleasure she laid on the bed with a wink. Lucas shook his head and went through his closet and came out with a bag.

"This is all your girly stuff I found in my room throughout the years, and I believe it belongs to you."

Brooke browsed through the bag and saw lip glosses, magazines, a pair of socks, a pair of jeans, a sweater. She looked up to see Lucas rummaging through some of his drawers and pulled out a black thong. Brooke blinked in amazement; she had made up the thong. Lucas put it around to fingers and stretched it out a bit, modeling it. "This was found in the mattress."

"Are you sure it's mine?" Brooke asked coldly and got up from the bed. She glided past him and out into the kitchen.
