The next morning Lucas woke up to an almost banging on the door, he reluctantly got out of bed and answered it wearing only his boxers, so he wouldn't wake Brooke. He opened the door to find his younger brother standing with two coffees and wearing a warm-up suit.

"There better be a good reason of why you are knocking on my door at 6:30 in the morning." Said Lucas quietly.

"Did I wake you?" Said Nathan smiling.

"Yes you did, and you are so lucky I answered and not Brooke." Said Lucas

"Well I didn't know if you wanted to go for a run real fast." Said Nathan.

"What I would like to do is get back into bed with my girlfriend and go back to sleep, but I won't, cause I know you won't leave."

"Your right I won't I'll just keep knocking and that will wake up Brooke." Said Nathan smiling as Lucas changed into a pair of sweat pants and a sweatshirt.

Lucas wrote a note to Brooke and kissed her on the forehead and left with Nathan.

"So are we actually going to jog or just walk around the town?" Asked Lucas hoping this wasn't the reason Nathan dragged him out of bed.

"We're going to jog I was just waiting until we both finished our coffees." Said Nathan.

"Okay." Said Lucas.

"So how was telling Karen and Keith about you and Brooke?"

"It went good, you know my mother was planning on trying to get us back together this week."

"Really, well that'll save Karen some time." Said Nathan.

"Yes, it will."

Nathan and Lucas got back to Lucas' house and when Lucas opened the door he noticed Brooke was still asleep.

"Man, I'd invite you in but Brooke is still sleeping so I'll see ya later." Said Lucas.

"Yeah no problem, I left Hales asleep at my mom's too so do you know what time Seattle is coming in?" Asked Nathan

"Um, I think the flight gets in at around noon, I don't know, Brooke knows but right now she's unreachable."

"Who's picking them up?"

"Um, I think Jake's parents and Larry." Said Lucas.

"Cool, we'll see them later I'm sure." Nathan.

"Yeah, well I'm going to go in and take a shower, since I'm up." Said Lucas joking around.

"Yeah, man I'll see you." Said Nathan as he walked to the car.

Lucas went in and took a quick shower and then got back into bed.

"You took a shower?" Said Brooke.

"Yeah, I didn't mean to wake you up, I'm actually surprised Nathan didn't. We went for a run and I didn't want to get back into bed all sweaty."

"Okay, back to sleep." Said Brooke as she cuddled back up to Lucas.

It was 10am when Brooke and Lucas made an appearance out of the room.

"Well good morning you two. Did you sleep well?" Asked Karen.

"Yeah, the second time around." Said Lucas.

"Do we even want to know?" Asked Keith.

"He went for a run with Nathan earlier." Said Brooke clarifying Lucas' statement.

"Oh." Said Keith.

"So Jake, Peyton, and Jenny's flight will be in today do you guys have any plans?" Asked Karen.

"Um, they're just going to come find us after they get settled, but no solid plans." Said Brooke as she got coffee.

"Where are they staying?"

"They are crashing at Larry's." Said Lucas.

"So I have an idea, how about after Jake and Peyton find you guys, you and Nathan meet me at the shop so we can get cracking on that sound system."

"Yeah, if you don't mind I want to change the oil in the Bug and check out the breaks." Said Lucas.

"Yeah it could probably use a tune up also." Said Keith.

"Lucas, the breaks are fine, you just changed them before we left."

"Brooke, I haven't worked on the car since before graduation so it is getting looked at." Said Lucas kissing Brooke to make her quiet.

"So quick question if you guys have both cars what are Haley and I supposed to do all day, until Peyton gets here?"

"I could use some help at the café today, and then you can take off when Peyton gets here." Said Karen.

"There, you have something to do, now I will see you later, I have to go get Nate and his car. Love you." Said Lucas as he and Keith walked out the door.

"Bye, love you." Said Keith as he followed Lucas.

"Why is it when they get around cars it's like they don't hear you anymore." Said Brooke.

"I have no idea." Said Karen with a laugh.

"I'm going to call Haley and warn her of the incoming flood of testosterone coming her way." Said Brooke dialing Deb's number.

"Hello?" Said Deb.

"Hi Nate, it's Brooke, is Haley around?"

"Sure hang on Brooke, Haley for you."

"Hey Brooke what's up?"

"Nothing much, just calling to warn you of a wave of testosterone is coming your way to kidnap Nathan."

"Who's coming?"

"Luke, and Keith they are coming to kidnap your husband and car, something about a new sound system for yours and mine is getting an oil change and breaks, or something I wasn't really listening." Said Brooke.

"So if they have the cars what are we going to do until Peyton gets here?"

"Karen needs us at the café and when Peyton finds us we can take off." Said Brooke.

"Okay."

"Great, we'll pick you up." Said Brooke as she hung up the phone.

"Did you warn Haley?"

"Yup, they haven't gotten there yet."

Thanks to Brooke's warning the guys kidnapping Nathan for the day was quiet and peaceful. Karen and Brooke picked up Haley and went to the café where the girls were immediately put to work.

Meanwhile Peyton, Jake, and Jenny left Seattle without any problems and arrived in Tree Hill at around noontime as planned they were met at the airport by Larry, and Jake's Parents.

"Hey Guys, who are you waiting for?" Asked Peyton as she was walking up to the family with Jenny.

"Well we were waiting for you that's who." Said Mrs. Jagielski as she hugged Peyton and Jenny.

"Well here we are." Said Peyton as she handed Jenny to Mr. Jagielski so she could hug her dad.

"Where's Jake?" Asked Mr. Jagielski as he tickled Jenny.

"I sent him to hell."

"What?" Asked Larry.

"I sent him to baggage claim so we can meet him there it'll save some time."

"Well that's good." Said Mrs. Jagielski as they walked down to baggage claim to not only claim their bags but also the last piece to their puzzle, Jake.

"Okay when we get back to Seattle you are going to baggage claim." Said Jake as he carried their suitcases over to the group.

"Jake, sweetheart how are you?" Said his mom as she hugged him.

"I'm good Mom, Dad I see you made a new friend." Said Jake as he greeted his parents.

"Jake, how's school going?" Asked Larry as he gave Jake a manly hug.

"Good, you know freshman year is all the pre-requisites and then I think next year it will sink in."

"Well Peyton, how about you how's school?" Asked Jake's mom

"Good, they let me draw for the college paper, kind of what I did here at THUD." Answered Peyton.

"So did everyone else get here safe?" Asked Jake.

"Um, yeah Rake Boy and Brooke flew in yesterday and then Haley and Nathan picked them up, and they drove into town together." Said Larry.

"Dad, you really have to stop calling Lucas 'Rake Boy' that was over two years ago." Said Peyton.

"Okay, I will refrain from calling him 'Rake Boy' for just this week."

The drive to Larry's house was quiet except for Jenny babbling a mile a minute trying to say people's names to which the adults were finding funny. They arrived at Larry's house to unload Jake and Peyton's luggage and Jake's parents decided that since they hadn't seen Jenny in a while that after Jake and Peyton took her to see their friends they would take her for the night to give them a night off since they were seeing their friends for the first time in many months. Peyton and Jake hung out with their parents for a couple hours and finally the parents said that there would be enough time to catch up and they should go and find the other kids.

Peyton tried calling Brooke and Haley's phone but all she got was the voicemails.

"Jake, maybe you should try to call Luke's phone because Brooke isn't picking up."

"Okay." Said Jake as he dialed Lucas' cell phone.

"Hello?" Said Lucas as he answered his phone.

"Hey Lucas, it's Jake, where are you?"

"Hey Jake, uh, Nate and I are at Keith's garage, and tell Peyton the Brooke and Hales are at the café working. So drop Peyt there and come over here and help Nathan and I put a new sound system in his car."

"You got it man I'll be there soon."

"Alright see ya when you get here." Said Lucas as he was putting Brooke's car on the lift.

"So where is everybody?" Asked Peyton.

"Brooke and Haley are at the café, and Nate and Lucas are at the garage working on Nate's car."

"Well, let's go cause I really want to see our friends."

"Okay, get Jenny ready and we'll go." Said Jake.

Jake and Peyton got into his parents' car that they were going to borrow for the week they were there, and drove to the café.
