"So what did he say?" Asked Haley as Nathan hung up the phone.

"Nothing he just said they keep missing each other, cause their both busy." Said Nathan.

"Give me the phone." Said Haley.

"What are you doing? Lucas also said not to call Brooke nothing is wrong."

"Since when do I listen to Lucas, I'm just casually calling a good friend of mine to see what she is doing for the holiday." Said Haley rationalizing her sudden urge to call Brooke.

"Hello?" Said a young female voice.

"Hey Brooke, what's going on?" Asked Haley.

"TutorGirl, nothing much just going to school and hanging out that's all, why?"

"Well are coming home for the holidays?"

"Um, yeah, I'll be and Karen and Keith's on the 16th, why?"

"Oh, no reason, so have you talked to anyone else lately?" Asked Haley trying to test the waters.

"I talked to Peyton last week, and no I haven't talked to Lucas in a while." Said Brooke now understanding the phone call.

"Lucas, I didn't ask if you talked to Lucas, I was just wondering what was going on in my best friend's life that's all."

"Haley I know you, and for your information nothing happened, we just have been playing phone tag for the last month or so." Said Brooke.

"Okay, well I happen to know that if you call someone's dorm right now you might just be able to catch him." Said Haley.

"And how would you have stumbled upon this information?"

"Well see I have this connection to him it's called the person that I'm married to, also know as his brother who just talked to him."

"TutorGirl, thank you for the info and I will be sure to use it." Said Brooke looking at the person next to her in the bed who was laughing.

"Okay, I'll talk to you next week, bye Brooke."

"Bye TutorGirl." Responded Brooke.

"So what did she say?" Asked Nathan.

"She said the same thing Luke said they've been playing phone tag for the last month."

"Well at least their attempting to talk to each other that's better than the last break up they had." Said Nathan

"I guess, I mean I know they still love each other, they only broke up because of the distance between Boston and New York." Responded Haley

"Yeah, that's true, okay let's stop analyzing the complicated relationship that is known as Brooke and Lucas, because other wise we'll still be talking about them tomorrow." Said Nathan.

"Okay, let's go to bed, you know Lucas is going to be mad you called Brooke."

"He'll get over it." Said Haley.

(Seattle, sometime that day)

"So Thanksgiving should be interesting this year." Said Jake as he played with Jenny on the floor of the living room.

"Oh, I wish I could be there to see the looks on Brooke and Lucas' faces when they realize that they have to eat together." Said Peyton.

"You think it will be that bad?" Asked Jake.

"I don't know, when I talked to Brooke last week she said they hadn't spoken in about a month, you don't think they got in a fight do you?" Said Peyton who had joined Jake and Jenny on the floor.

"No, why did Brooke say something?"

"No, maybe Hales knows something, I'm going to call her."

(Chapel Hill, North Carolina)

"Hello?"

"Nathan, it's Peyton, where's Hales?"

"Nice to hear from you too Peyton, how am I, you ask I'm fine. How are Jake and Jenny?"

"Hi Nate, Jake and Jenny are fine, now get your wife on the phone before I make her a widow." Said Peyton.

"Okay, Haley! Phone its Peyton."

"Got it, hey Peyton. What's going on?"

"Have you talked to Brooke or Lucas lately?"

"Um, I talked to Brooke last night and Nathan talked to Luke right before, why?"

"I was just wondering cause when I talked to Brooke last time she said she hadn't talked to him in a month. I didn't know if they got in a fight and how interesting thanksgiving will be this year if they did." Said Peyton.

"Well I thought the same thing, but when I talked to her last night she said they just were just playing phone tag." Said Haley.

"Okay, I was just worried you know they get when they argue." Said Peyton.

"Yeah, I do. But from what I got out of Nate, Lucas pretty must said the same thing that Brooke did, so I stopped worrying."

"Okay, I just thought Brooke's response was a little vague, that's all. So enough about them, what's up with you guys?"

"Nothing just hanging out, school, work. Nothing to exciting although Karen did blackmail Nathan last night."

"What, how'd she do that?"

"She played on his competitiveness with Lucas to get him to contribute something for dinner or something like that, I didn't hear the entire conversation."

"Way to go Karen."

"Yeah, when Nathan told me I almost fell off the chair, from laughing."

"I would have."

"Well I have to go start dinner for the family that are staring at me, so if you hear anything about the mystery of 2006 let me know?"

"Of course, same goes for you?"

"Absolutely, and if nothing happens before the end of thanksgiving weekend we'll do something about it." Said Peyton sounding devious.

"You got it, bye."

"Bye."

(Seattle)

"So what did Hales say?" Asked Jake

"She said she and Nathan spoke with both of them separately and they said they've been playing phone tag."

"Well they are both busy, so it is possible." Said Jake.

"Yeah, I just think there's more to it than that, but I can't know for sure until I see Brooke face to face." Said Peyton.

"Don't worry they'll be fine."
