"Hey Broody?"

"Hmm?"

"Did I wake you?"

"No, but this really annoying brunette poking me in the rib cage with her elbow did." Said Lucas joking around.

"Okay, you know I just have this feeling that this week is going to be about more than Thanksgiving." Said Brooke

"Well judging from what has already happened today, I have no doubt that this is going to become a 'Let's see if we can get Brooke and Lucas back together' mission."

"Do you think anyone suspects anything?"

"No, knowing our family someone would have said something, although Haley might have a suspicion."

"Why did she say something?"

"No, not really but remember when I talked to her a few weeks ago and told her we hadn't talked in a while, I told her not to call you, but not even 5 seconds later your phone rang."

Brooke remembered that weekend vividly. She and Lucas had decided a week and a half into their breakup that they didn't want it anymore and decided that Brooke would come to Boston since Lucas couldn't leave due to the practices he had on Friday and Sunday. They had woken to the sound of Lucas' cell phone ringing at 10:30 Saturday. Brooke barely understood the mumbles coming from the other side of the bed, but knew it was a family member; just by the way Lucas hung up.

"Hello?" Said Lucas answering his cell phone.

"Hey, long time no hears kid." Said an older man into a phone in North Carolina.

"Who is this and do you know what time it is?" said the younger man.

"What the hell are you still doing in bed at 10:30 in the morning on a Friday, don't you have a class?" said the older man.

"Don't you have a life, get a calendar, it's Saturday, so if you don't mind I'm hanging up on you and I will call you never." Said Lucas as he pressed the end button on his phone, and rolled back over and hugged Brooke closer to him and fell back to sleep.

Later that night Nathan had called telling him that Karen had just blackmailed him into contributing something for thanksgiving dinner, while Lucas was on the phone Brooke heard the whole conversation and was trying to hold back laughter when Lucas had told him he hadn't talked to her in over a month, Lucas shot her a look that said 'I love you, but shut up now' but the laughter had gotten the best of her a she had to get out of the room fast. She came back in just as Lucas was telling Nathan to tell Haley not to call her.

"Haley will be calling you in 5…4…3…2…1." Said Lucas as he counted not only out loud but also on his fingers. And as if on cue Brooke's cell phone rang and she and Haley talked before Haley told her that if she called him right then she would catch him. Little did Haley know Brooke had already caught him. After the conversations between them Brooke and Lucas went back to watching their movie in bed with the take out that had been delivered. The rest of their weekend had been uneventful except for Lucas' basketball practice which brought back memories for both of them only this time Brooke wasn't on the sidelines in cheerleading practice, she was in the stands cheering him on much to the coach's dismay.

After their walk down memory lane, Brooke and Lucas got ready to land still unsure who was picking them up and how to explain the closeness they had. Mainly, because they didn't tell anyone they were back together, and the closeness and cheesiness they were exhibiting wasn't the result of being stuck on a short flight from New York.

(Nathan and Haley's Car)

"So does Luke know we're picking him up, or is this a surprise?" Asked Haley.

"I'm not sure, I'll figure that one out when we see him."

"I hope him and Brooke get along, I don't think I could take death glares from either of them this week." Said Haley worried about their family.

"Well, they better because Karen will ground them both if they don't." Said Nathan.

"True."

They arrived at the airport earlier than they thought and looked around to see if they could spot any one when they heard the announcement that the flight had just landed.

"Attention, please Flight 851 from New York has just arrived." Said the announcer.

"Well at least we're not late." Said Nathan sitting down for a second.

"How long do you think it will take him to get down here?"

"Well, he probably has to go to baggage claim, so why don't we see if we can catch up to him there." Said Nathan sensing his wife's urgency to see his brother.

It took them a couple minutes to reach the baggage claim area, when Nathan spotted the familiar sweatshirt only it wasn't the person he thought it was when he saw that the person in the shirt was brunette instead of the blond he expected.

"Nathan, did Lucas say anything about bringing someone home with him for Thanksgiving?"

"No, did he say anything to you?"

"No, all I have to say is… Brooke!" said Haley astonished when the brunette turned around.

"And Lucas." Said Nathan

"TutorGirl, what are you doing here?" Asked Brooke

"Karen asked us to pick up Lucas." Said Haley.

"Just so you know I was about to kick your ass for bringing a date home." Said Nathan good heartedly to his brother.

"What made you think I brought home a date?"

"Well, I saw the hoody and noticed it wasn't you wearing it, but a girl was, I guess I thought you moved on."

"Just so you know, I haven't worn that hoody in four months."

"Why?"

"Because Cheery over here stole it on me."

"I did not, you gave it to me."

"Bull, I let you borrow it cause you were cold, and you never gave it back, that means you stole it, I win."

"Your mean, Broody."

Haley and Nathan glanced at the two people arguing and then at each other when they heard the nicknames come out.

"Well the car is out this way, and I told your mom that we would meet them at the café." Said Nathan wondering what was going on between Brooke and Lucas.

"We should probably tell them, otherwise this is going to be a very long week." Said Brooke quietly to Lucas.

"You want to tell them now?" He asked.

"Well I think we should tell them here with witnesses so they can't kill us for not telling them sooner."

"Good idea. Hey Guys before we get to the car we have something to tell you." Said Lucas stepping closer to Brooke if that was even possible.

"Okay." Said Haley.

"Lucas and I got back together."

"On the plane?" Asked Nathan.

"No before that, way before that." Said Brooke.

"Like, how much before that?" Asked now a curious Haley.

"Like, a week and half after we broke up." Answered Brooke.

"You guys were have been together for over 3 months and didn't tell anyone?" Asked Nathan.

"Wait do Peyton and Jake know?"

"Nobody but you guys know okay." Said Lucas.

"Okay, wait a couple weeks ago you both said you hadn't talked in over a month." Said Nathan.

"Yeah, about that after you two hung up, and then Haley called me and told me if I called Luke right then I could catch him…"

"Yeah." Said Nathan.

"I was in the bed next to him."

"Okay a visual I didn't need just now." Said Haley.

"We were fully clothed." Said Lucas.

"So how are you going to break this to your mom that all her hard work was for nothing." Said Haley.

"I think when she sees us sleeping in the same bed, it will confirm it for her." Said Brooke

"That is if she lets you two sleep in the same room." Responded Haley.

The four friends walked to Nathan and Haley's car and the boys sat in the front while the girls giggled in the back.

"You know since we're probably going to be bored sometime this week we should really work on the sound system in here." Said Lucas.

"What makes you think we'll be bored?" Asked Nathan.

"Okay, our moms, those two and Peyton, means Us, Jake, and Keith will be tossed aside at least one day maybe two if we're lucky." Said Lucas laying out his logic.

"Oh, your mom didn't tell you the grandparents are coming in also." Said Nathan.

"Really, this whole week just got a little more interesting." Said Lucas.

"Yeah, so maybe during one of the days we get tossed aside as you put it, we could go check out the team and show them up a little."

"Sounds like a plan, to me." Said Lucas as Nathan pulled up outside the café.

"Ready to face the past guys." Said Haley.
