Brooke stared back at Peyton who was grinning from ear to ear. She wasn't sure what to say or do… she knew she was here in Charlotte but defiantly didn't expect to see her until dinner. Now what was she supposed to do? Spill that she was engaged to Lucas, and pregnant… or play dumb?

"Ah, Peyton… you-you're here" Brooke stuttered finally deciding that she had better say something

"And so are you! Wow, what are you going here?" Peyton asked. She defiantly wasn't expecting to see Brooke, of all people here.

"Oh, um shopping" Brooke said trying to hide the baby bags

"I mean here, in Charlotte!"

"I live here…"

"How creepy is that! So does," Peyton started to say Lucas but changed her mind. If she was going to get Lucas back then she needed no distractions and Brooke was defiantly a distraction. It was no secret that Brooke still had it bad for Lucas when Peyton left for rehab… even if she was dating Felix at the time.

"So does who?" Brooke asked seeing if she would fess up. Peyton was acting weird… not her usual weird, but the same weird she had acting their sophomore year

"So does my friend Mary"

"Hi, I'm Brooke… P. Sawyer's bestest friend, ever" Brooke said smiling. She still felt protective of her best friend, even if she hadn't seen her in forever.

"Mary… I'm just a friend"

"You are still P. Sawyer right? You haven't gone off and gotten married on me have you?"

"No, but it looks like you have! Look at that ring!" Peyton shrieked taking her hand and staring at the beautiful ring Lucas had given Brooke

"Not married… yet. Just engaged"

"Brooke, that's great" Peyton said very sincerely. This was a good sign. If she was engaged then she had no reason to want to take Lucas back, especially if the man she was engaged too had money

"Thanks"

"Looks like you still love to shop, geez… how many bags is that?"

"A lot… Hey I'll go put them in the car and then we can get something to eat and talk!" Brooke said quickly still trying to hide the bags.

"Ok"

"That's Brooke? You never made her out to look like that" Mary laughed once Brooke was out of earshot

"Like what?"

"Like a super model…"

"She, she doesn't look like a super model" Peyton muttered

"Sorry hun, but she does"

Lucas walked into the locker room where Mike was waiting patiently by the mirrors brushing his hair. He had that look on his face, the look that he got whenever he wanted to tell Lucas something important but he was too afraid too. Mike always reminded him of a smarter version of Tim. Totally girl crazy, even though he did have a girlfriend, and very into partying… when he and Brooke had had their engagement party Mike had defiantly made it interesting.

"What's up man…" Lucas asked putting his bag in his locker

"Dude… Are you cheating on Brooke?"

"What?"

"With that Hayden chick?" Mike asked ignoring Lucas

"Peyton?"

"Whatever… Luke, I like you… but I like Brooke a whole lot better… since she does have a nice rack and all. If you're with someone else, she needs to know"

"Dude, Mike… I'm not cheating on Brooke. I learned from my mistakes man" Lucas laughed rolling his eyes at Mike. Mike definitely was one of those people who wasn't quite all there.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes…"

"Positive?" Mike asked one last time just to make sure

"Yes…"

"Then why do you have bags under your eyes? What were you doing up late if Brooke is in Chicago? I know you went out with that Peyton chick last night and"

"Alright, Mike… I am going to tell you something to shut you up but you can not tell a soul… got it?"

"Yea man" Mike said excitedly. Letting his eyes get big like a little kids in a candy shop

"Brooke came home from Chicago last night"

"Why Bro?"

"She's pregnant…" Lucas whispered

"Dude! Congrats man… Ah damn it"

"What?"

"She is going to loose that fine body for 9 months, what am I going to have to look at?"

"Your playboys?" Lucas asked not amused at Mike's comment

"It just isn't the same…"

"That's my fiancé dude…"

"Stop reminding me, some of us like to dream…" Mike laughed throwing his towel at Lucas

"Girls… get your lazy Asses out on that floor and warm up!"

"Mike…"

"Yea"

"Keep your mouth shut, please?" Lucas asked

"You got it dude"

Karen and Andy drove into his friend, Sammy's driveway in Chapel Hill. It was a small quiet house with a neat lawn and a swing set in the back yard. It reminded Karen of how her house in Tree Hill had looked years ago when Lucas was young. Back then it seemed like he never came into the house. He and Haley were always outside playing or finding ways to get back at Peyton, Nathan and Brooke for teasing them. The one-day that stuck out in Karen's mind was Lucas's 5th Birthday party. She had invited Lucas's entire Kinder Garden class, which included Peyton, Nathan, and Brooke. Peyton was your average 5 year old… her cute blonde ringlets in her face and her Kelly Kids clothes on, clinging to little Brooke for dear life. Little Brooke on the other hand, with her long auburn hair, short skirt and tank top at the age of 5 had made her presence known. The conversation between the 5 little children still made Karen laugh, it was amazing how different 5 children from the same town could be, just because of who their parents were.

"Here is my present… it was very expensive" Brooke giggled handing Lucas her present

"Thank you…"

"Are you going to open it or what?" Brooke asked frustrated

"Not until my mom says…"

"Are you a mommies boy or something?" Nathan mocked

"Duh Nathan…" Peyton whispered

"Mommy's boys can be sexy"

"Excuse me… what is your name?" Karen asked running over to Brooke, who was obviously trying to corrupt her angel

"Brooke Davis"

"Where is your mother"

"Peyton's mom brought me… my mother is queen of France and couldn't get away from her castle, she is too busy ruling" Brooke smiled

"Is she now…"

"Peyton, Brooke, Nathan wait up!" Anna, Peyton's mom yelled running behind them

"Mom…"

"Hi, I'm Anna Sawyer… Peyton's mom. This must be little Lucas, Here is your birthday present…" Anna said out of breath

"It isn't as expensive as mine" Brooke said pointing to her box

"I'm sure not Brooke, why don't you 5 go play"

"Come on Lucas… lets go find worms!" Haley screamed pulling Lucas back to the mud

"That one there is a handful" Karen laughed pointing to Brooke

"She's a sweetie pie really, just sad… and lonely"

"Where are that child's parents?"

"Her father owns a very high publicity company… and Brooke was born so that they could get more publicity… She's a good friend for Peyton though… Peyton is a shy one" Anna smiled

"So is my Lucas. It's a good thing he has Haley"

"Ew, what did you do that for!" Lucas yelled from the other side on the yard

"It's a birthday kiss…" Brooke smiled

"Gross Brooke…" Nathan gagged

"You better run Nathan Scott or I am going to give you one too!"

"Ahhhhhh"

"Or maybe I will send Peyton after you, she loves a Scott!" Brooke giggled

"You touch him again and I'll smack you" Haley said crossing her arms

"That shirt your wearing is already blinding me…"

"At least mine covers me up" Haley shot back

"I think Brooke's shirt is pretty" Lucas smiled

"Trader…" Haley laughed rolling he eyes

"Ok kids… time for cake"

Who knew that the 5 of them, just 11 years later go through so much together. Those last 3 years of High School Karen could only tell who Lucas was with by the way he acted that week. With Peyton he was miserable… Quiet and brooding all the time, spending a lot of time thinking about his life, with Anna it was more anger and frustration, and then with Brooke… he was just wild, happy… but wild. She was just thankful that he was out of Tree Hill and now he could find a worldlier woman than anyone he would ever meet in Tree Hill.

Brooke walked back to the table where Peyton was sitting with Mary drinking their Pepsi's. Lucas had been right about Peyton… she was acting funny, she wasn't sure if it was because of everything she had been through in the past couple of years, or if it was something else. But she didn't seem like the same Peyton who had left for Europe after graduation.

"So talk to be B. Davis… what are you doing here in Charlotte?" Peyton asked once Brooke was settled at the table. She needed to get as much info as possible before saying anything about Lucas

"I'm in Law School… how crazy is that? But I am gonna get a kick ass paycheck when I get out, and then become a pole dancer… you know me" Brooke giggled

"Still have that life long dream huh?"

"Well after that night at Haley's bachelorette party… the idea kinda stuck"

"Your still just a crazy as when I left!" Peyton laughed. It felt good for her to talk to Brooke, it was like nothing had changed

"Of course… would you expect anything less of me?" Brooke asked glaring at Mary

"Nope… so tell me, who is this guy"

"We don't really need to talk about him… let's talk about your life! And your guy…"

"Come on B. Davis… spill" Peyton laughed

"Well he is 20 years older than me, actually he is one of my professors… and we can't get married until he gets divorced" Brooke giggled. She knew she really had to stop making up these stories but it was just so much fun!

"Oh, I… well"

"I'm kidding…"

"With you, you never know… Is that your phone?" Peyton asked hearing a ringer

"Hello?"

"I am guessing you found Peyton" Lucas laughed

"How did you know?"

"She called me and wanted to know about dinner right before she saw you"

"Wanna do it?" Brooke asked. She knew she did… nothing was more fun than showing her handsome fiancé off to her friends.

"We've got to tell her…"

"Everything?" Brooke whined

"Engagement first… baby later"

"Ok… if we must, I gotta go… Love you" Brooke giggled

"Love you too… I'll call Peyton right now and tell her about dinner… 7:00 ok?"

"Sounds good to me…"

"Love you" Lucas smiled

"Bye"

"Who was that?" Peyton asked as soon as Brooke hung up, a little too soon for Brooke's tastes

"My boy toy…" Brooke giggled

"Oh there goes my phone…Hello" Peyton laughed picking up her phone. Brooke knew good and well it was Lucas

"Hey, its Lucas…"

"Hey…" Peyton giggled blushing

"Dinner at 7?"

"Yes… and are you bringing this girl?"

"Sure am…" Lucas laughed

"Can't wait to meet her"

"You'll love her, I gotta go… bye"

"Who was that?" Brooke asked equally as fast

"That was Lucas actually…" Peyton said deciding that she had better tell Brooke, since Brooke was engaged it really didn't matter now. Brooke wasn't one to cheat on anyone… ever.

"Really? Lucas Scott?"

"I have a date with him tonight" Peyton grinned. The look on her face made Brooke cringe… no one had a date with Lucas Scott but her… That was her man.

"Wh- um Really? I heard he had a girlfriend" Brooke said trying to call her bluff without being too obvious

"Me…"

"Oh, wow… Peyton that's great… You know what, I gotta go… Call me later and we can do something…" Brooke lied. If Peyton thought she was doing anything with her she was crazy… these hormones were really starting to get to Brooke. One minute she felt cheery and happy, then the next she wanted to bite someone's head off.

"Don't rush off…"

"This ring is weighing down my finger…"

"Right…. Bye" Peyton said.

"Answer, answer, answer…" Brooke whined into her phone once she was out of Peyton's sight.

"Hello?"

"Broody it's me" Brooke whispered

"What's wrong?"

"Oh nothing… I was just calling to see what you were going to wear on your date with Peyton tonight" Brooke giggled

"What?"

"Right, so get this… after you called I asked her who it was and she said it was you and that you were her boyfriend! Can you believe that!" Brooke said now almost yelling

"She told you, that I was HER boyfriend"

"Yes…" Brooke giggled. This whole thing was actually funny to her now that she thought about it. Peyton with Lucas… like that would ever happen

"What the hell is her problem?"

"She doesn't know I know you anymore… My guess is that tonight she is going to break you and your mystery girl up!"

"She wouldn't do that… would she?" Lucas asked and then regretted it

"Lucas…"

"Maybe I should call and cancel… you don't need this stress"

"Stress? Lucas this isn't stress, this is drama and I live for drama, if anything this is helping this baby" Brooke smiled… she had missed her drama… of course all the drama that she had missed was coming all at once with a baby, and now Peyton… but still.

"Brooke" Lucas laughed

"Now here's the plan… We are going to need Mike…"

"Why?" Lucas asked. He didn't like where this was going… Brooke's crazy plans always had a way of back firing.

"Because Mike is your mystery woman!"

"No…"

"Yes!" Brooke squealed climbing into her car

"Brooke…" Lucas started but Brooke broke in

"And you 3 are all going to be sitting down having dinner and that's when I come in"

"Uh huh…"

"And act like I haven't seen you in years! And then you are going to tell me that you turned gay living a living a life without me!" Brooke giggled. This was going to be great, defiantly something to tell the grandchildren

"And then?"

"And then we tell her it was all a joke and set her up with Mike" Brooke answered simply.

"This seems kinda mean"

"Lucas… she is planning to screw you over"

"Mike it is… I'll tell him" Lucas laughed deciding to let Brooke have her fun, she was going to need it

"Ok, love you"

"You too, Bye Cheery"
