"Well, well…about time you made your move Blondie" Brooke mumbled with a smirk as she got back into the car, shaking her head slightly as the two girls finally pulled apart, both blushing fiercely.

"Actually…I didn't" Peyton said with a smile, "hales did…"

"Way to go Rock Star!" Brooke exclaimed, giggling as a steady blush rose up the other brunettes face.

"Yeah…well, I…" Haley stuttered out before Peyton covered her lips with her own.

"Haley James, you got a lot of thanking to be doing little missy" Chloe stood with her hand on her hip, a small smile gracing her features as she slid into the car.

Haley couldn't help the full blown smile that had taken over her face as Peyton grabbed her hand, "How about we just call it even?"

"How in gods name is that even! How are you not…I am so confused…" Brooke mumbled buckling her seatbelt as Peyton got back on the highway.

"All in Good time…" the Chloe responded, earning her a few interested stares, "what? When you hang out with Hayden and Lucas all the damn time you pick up these stupid phrases…"

Brooke suppressed her laugh, knowing just how right the redhead was, "So, just let me get this straight…you've been spilling Haley's secrets to get the two of them together?"

"Just that last one, the other one was just because I'm a spiteful bitch" she half smiled looking over at Brook's confused face, "Hell hath no fury, ya know?"

Brooke just smiled sympathetically at the redhead before looking up to her two best friends who were both staring at the road in front of them, hands locked, content smiles on their faces.

----meanwhile, in the boys car, mrow------

"Dude, how can you not like basketball?" Nathan asked incredulously.

"Its just not my thing man, I played baseball at Tree Hill but mostly I'm busy with my art, paintings mostly, and alittle piano here and there…" Hayden added with a smirk "I'm the one who taught Haley to play ya know?"

"Considering I didn't know you existed till you walked into that café, no, I didn't know" Nathan shot back before looking to Lucas then back to Hayden who was just staring at him blankly "You taught her well though man…"

"Thanks, so did you." Hayden replied, smiling softly at the confused look he was met with.

"I-wha- Ya know…never mind…" Nathan said shaking his head and breathing out a small chuckle before flipping on the radio and hanging his arm out the open window.

"And since I'm on such a roll with these cryptic messages" Hayden began, turning his attention to the other Scott brother, "sometimes a grand gesture really is all you'll need…"

"Man, don't pull that on me…" Lucas began, "If your going to give me advice, give me actual advice" he finished with a smile.

"I'll simplify it, but only because your little dense…There's something you want, and it isn't quite yours, but it wants to be, its just scared…" He shot a look to Lucas before sighing "She needs to know you actually love her man, that you'd never do what you did again…"

"Whoa, how did you-what-" Lucas ask, truly confused.

"Hales caught me up on all the issues during our little sleepover…plus, you know I'm the shit at reading other people…its written all over everything she does" he explained, downing the rest of his big gulp. "You were the one who always used to tell me not to be afraid to take a risk for the things I want…"

"I know, but-" Luke began only to be cut off by Nathan this time.

"No man, he's right…if you don't take a risk, you'll end up like me, and you don't want that"

"No, I defiantly don't" Luke said with a smile, earning a playful punch from his brother

"Seriously dude, do something, it doesn't even have to be big, it just has to be something." Nathan stated before going back to his music and open window.

The rest of the trip was spent mostly in silence in both cars, the inhabitants of them lost in their own thoughts. It wasn't until that unmistakable skyline came into view that everyone came out of their thoughts.

"Let the party begin!" Brooke exclaimed earning a smile and nod from Chloe, a small groan from Haley and a smirk from Peyton

"Heaven help us…"
