Chapter 5: Ice Cream Dreams
Note: Well here it is, the final chapter! This is my first ever completed story! Yay me! But more importantly thanks so much to everyone who took the time to review. Like I said before I do have a sequel planned but not sure exactly how it's going to be. Whoever reviews please write if you'd rather see one where they're still young or when their teenagers. Thanks!
Disclaimer: I don't own One Tree Hill or the different ice cream brands. All I own is the plot and Nora.
Everyone ran to the gate and opened it, hollering "Wait! We're coming!" at the top of their lungs.
Lucas reached the truck first.
"Hi Nora!" Lucas said happily.
The rest of the group had reached the ice cream truck by that time.
"Hi Nora!" Peyton, Jake, Nathan, Haley, and Brooke said in unison.
"Hi guys." The pretty young woman replied.
Nora grinned and said "Let me guess what you all want. If I get it wrong it's on me."
She turned to Lucas.
"Lucas you want a chocolate éclair, right?" Nora asked.
Lucas nodded and grinned as she handed it to him.
"Peyton, a sno cone, correct?" Nora asked Peyton.
Peyton said "Yup!" and thanked her as Nora gave her the sno cone.
Nora looked at Brooke next.
"A lemon ice, right Brooke?" Nora asked.
Brooke smiled as she accepted the lemon ice.
"Nathan, a fudgesicle?" Nora asked with a smile.
Nathan took the Fudgesicle, grinning at how she remembered all of this.
"Now Jake, I remember you get a Drumstick every time."
Jake said shyly "Thanks Ms. Nora."
Nora laughed kindly and said "Remember it's just Nora. I'm only 22 you guys."
Nora then turned to Haley.
"Now Haley, you're a little tricky. You switch between a cherry Italian ice and a sundae cone. I'll go with the sundae cone?" Nora said hesitantly.
Haley giggled and said "That's what I was gonna get!"
"Nora how do ya remember what we want like that?" Nathan asked.
"I'm psychic!" Nora said spookily.
All of them, including Nora, laughed at that.
Nora pulled back her curly brown hair and said "It's really hot today!"
"I know!" Peyton agreed.
"Oops, I better get going!" Nora said.
"See you tomorrow…Nora." Jake said.
"See you tomorrow!" Nora said before slowly driving away.
"Bye!" everyone called.
Jake looked at the Drumstick in his hand and shouted after the truck " Nora, we didn't pay!"
Nora stopped and shouted "It's on me!" before continuing on.
Jake grinned before following his friends on their way to the yard.
The six friends sat on the clipped grass and began to eat their ice cream in silence so their ice cream wouldn't melt.
Peyton finished her sno cone first and lay down on the prickly grass.
She looked up at the big blue sky. To herself she thought 'It's a huge sky…and a huge world to go with it. I wonder if we'll be friends forever.'
Out loud Peyton asked "What do you thinks gonna happen to us?"
"Whaddya mean" Lucas asked.
"Do you think we'll be friends always and forever?" Peyton asked.
"Yeah…I really do." Lucas said before he lay down too.
"When me, Luke, and Jake become big basketball stars, you become some huge artist, Brooke's some fashion designer, and Haley's a major singer, we'll still be friends." Nathan said confidently as he too lay down.
"Thanks." Haley said blushing as she lay down beside him.
Brooke said "And I'll even give away a free design to all of you."
Jake said "Nah, I think I'll sing too."
"Why? You're pretty good at basketball." Peyton commented.
"Yeah, but not like Nathan or Lucas." Jake explained.
"Besides, when my Granny died, she told me I had the voice of an angel. She told me whenever I sing, she'll be there, and whenever I sing I feel like she's there." Jake told them quietly.
"Will you sing for us?" Haley asked.
Jake agreed before singing a song about angels.
When he finished they were all silent.
"That was great Jake." Peyton said sincerely.
The others agreed in various ways.
"When we're all old and famous' let's relive this day, because this day's been perfect." Haley said.
"Yeah!" Everyone agreed.
After that pronouncement, everyone fell silent.
All of them stared at the sky and watched the clouds move by.
Haley's eyes slowly drifted shut in the relaxing atmosphere.
Nathan, Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, and Jake all seemed to drift off also.
The last two things Nathan thought before he drifted off were 'Why is Haley holding my hand in her sleep?' and lastly 'Today couldn't have been any better. It's been a perfect summer day.' And he knew no more.
That's a wrap! Please review and give your thoughts on this chapter, the story on a whole, and any ideas you have for the sequel I have planned. Thanks to everyone who reviewed!
