(Three Weeks Later, Tree Hill, North Carolina)

Karen had just finished putting the final touches on her plan, she had told Lucas he was taking a non-stop flight from Boston, she just didn't tell him it wasn't a non-stop to North Carolina. Keith had been calling her evil since she started planning this little get together. The kids were going to be home in a little over 2 weeks and now she was getting into frenzy, making sure everything was going right and according to plan. She had talked to Nathan about picking Lucas up at the airport since he and Haley would already be driving down. Karen had talked to Lucas the night before and had given up asking him if he had been out with anyone lately, to which he would just laugh and tell that he wouldn't tell her that information no matter how many times she asked.

The two weeks since the plans were finished passed by quickly and the parents couldn't wait to see the kids, although they would have to wait an entire day for the whole family to be back together since Peyton, Jake, and Jenny would be in a day later. Today was the day Karen, Deb, and Keith had anticipated since the week Lucas, Brooke, Nathan, and Haley had left for their new lives. The mothers were worried that they wouldn't recognize their boys, but Keith assured them that the boys couldn't have changed that much.

(Boston)

Lucas sighed as he glanced around his dorm room and made sure he had pack everything he had wanted to take with him, he decided to leave the picture of him and Brooke on the night stand since he would more than likely be seeing her in person in a couple of days. He walked out of the room and locked his door, walked outside and hailed a cab to the airport to catch his flight home.

(New York City)

Brooke packed light surprisingly, she figured if she needed something she could get it there. As she looked around the room one more time she realized as long as she had her security blanket she would be fine on the plane, she knew she wasn't one of the best flyers, so she made it a point to stay up late the night before a flight so she would be able to sleep on the plane. Last night she had made one of her friends stay on the phone and online with her until at least 3am so she would be able to sleep peacefully.

(Chapel Hill)

Nathan and Haley didn't have to worry about much as long as they were at the airport in enough time to get Lucas they could stay in bed for as long as they wanted to. Nathan figured it would take them roughly 3 hours to get to the airport and Lucas wasn't getting in until 3pm so as long as they left by 11am they would be fine.

(Boston to Somewhere)

Lucas had found out that the flight his mother booked him on was a non-stop to New York, where he had a layover for about an hour. Then he would be on his way home. His mother was right it was a non-stop just to the wrong place. The flight to New York was uneventful and boring, but as he boarded his flight that would take him home he notice something on the flight.

(New York)

Brooke had gotten to the airport early and called Karen to tell her that she had made it there on time. Much to the surprise of Brooke traffic into the airport was extremely light, so the ride was quick from her dorm at NYU. Her wait was boring as she was fighting to stay awake. When she was finally able to board the flight she did with gusto, that was until she had trouble storing her carryon in the upper bin, she cursed at her self for not being taller. With her back towards the front of the plane she didn't realize there weren't' that many people on the flight just the ones that said excuse me and would squeeze by on their way to the seats, behind her. That was all but one passenger who was shocked to see something so familiar on what he thought was going to be a boring flight.

"Well, well, well that's where my sweatshirt disappeared to."

"What are you doing here, I thought I wasn't going to see you until I got home tonight."

"Give me your bag, I'll put it up for you."

"Thanks, so wait you're on this flight too."

"I guess so, and your purse is on my seat."

"Do think your mother planned this?"

"Well, it's one hell of a coincidence if she didn't."

"She is good, I'll give her that." Said Brooke as she sat down in her seat.

"Yeah, so you tired?" Asked Lucas.

"No why would I be?" Said Brooke with a yawn.

"Well after we talked until 3 this morning, I figured you would sleep the whole way there."

"What I don't get is how come you didn't tell me you were flying to New York to get home?"

"My mom didn't send me the email with the information on it until this morning, wait why didn't you give me your information?"

"I didn't get the info until this morning either. All Karen told me was what time to be at the airport by, I had to get my ticket at the counter when I got here."

"She did the same thing to me."

"Well all I have to say is Karen-1, Brucas- zip." Said Brooke as she by habit leaned into Lucas.
