The entire group met at Deb's house where they decided to call a cab because no one really wanted to drive. The kids had decided to go to a Chinese restaurant for dinner and then they decided to try to get into Blue Post, which would be easier said than done.
At dinner Brooke proposed to add a new game into their repertoire. The game was called 'In Bed'.
"Okay, how do we do this?" Asked Haley.
"What we do is open the fortune cookies and read them out loud and no matter what it says everyone adds the phrase 'In Bed' to it." Explained Brooke.
"Okay, Brooke you go first." Said Lucas as he took a sip of his soda.
"Okay, 'You can only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.'"
"In Bed" said everyone.
"Nice, Nate your up." Said Jake.
"Alright, oh man. 'Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.'"
"In Bed." Said everyone while laughing.
"Hales your up." Said Nathan.
"Oh this is good, 'It's easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.'"
"In Bed." Responded everyone enjoying the game.
"Whose next?" Asked Brooke anticipating Lucas'.
"Peyton." Said Jake.
"Why so I always get the philosophical ones. 'the nice thing about standards, is that there are so many to choose from'."
"In Bed." Said everyone.
"You know what Brooke I think I got yours." Said Peyton with a laugh.
"Luke or Jake, who wants to go next?" Asked Haley.
"I will, 'Whoever has any authority over you, no matter how small, will attempt to use it.'"
"In Bed."
"Really, Peyton." Said Nate.
"Shut up Nathan."
"And finally, Lucas it's your turn." Said Brooke as she smiled at him.
"Fine, I was hoping you guys would forget."
"Not a chance." Said Brooke.
"Okay, 'It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.'"
"In Bed." Said everyone as they finished their drinks.
"Brooke where did you learn that game?" Asked Haley as they walked out of the restaurant.
"I was home and flipping through the channels and I found an episode of '90210' and they were playing it. I thought it was more interesting than 'I never…' cause you can't anticipate what the fortunes are going to say." Said Brooke.
"That was defiantly better than 'I never…' it's too hard to play that game when you know so much about the people your playing with." Said Peyton.
The group of friends left the Chinese restaurant and made their way down to Blue Post to see if they could get some drinks before going home.
"Oh wait, does everyone have their ID's?" Asked Brooke.
"Yes, I do Gretchen." Said Lucas using Brooke's ID name.
"Okay, Henry, what about you Trudy Gill." Said Brooke to Haley.
"Right here, hey Boyd Toid, you got yours still." Said Haley to Nathan who was talking to Jake about something.
"Yeah, I got mine, Brooke we really need to do some thing with the name on mine though."
"I don't think so." Said Brooke.
"What about you, Peyt?" Said Haley.
"Just call me Candy Dandy."
"Jakey, do you have yours?" Said Brooke.
"Yes, my name is Jet Jones." Said Jake reading his ID.
"Haley, when did you get your ID?" Asked Lucas.
"Um, my bachelorette party."
"Ah." Said Lucas.
They finally made it to the bar and found a table and the guys made their way to the bar for drinks.
"So what made you and Lucas decide to get back together?" Asked Peyton.
"We just realized we were better together than apart." Answered Brooke.
"Here are your drinks ladies." Said Jake as he put a couple drinks down on the table.
"What happened to Luke and Nathan?" Asked Haley.
"They're getting the other drinks and some munchies." Said Jake.
"Okay, Cheery, here's your drink." Said Lucas as he arrived back at the table with Nathan and the munchies from the bar.
"I'm having a great time tonight, I just wish we could do it more often." Said Haley.
"I do, too." Said Brooke.
"Well, we have the rest of the week and we have Christmas break to enjoy." Said Lucas trying to be helpful.
"That's true." Said Peyton.
It was now well after midnight when they left the bar after a few games of pool and a few more drinks, no one was really drunk but they defiantly had buzzes.
"So I say we call some cabs and then meet at my mom's in the morning to get the cars." Said Nathan.
"I agree." Said Lucas pulling out his cell phone and dialing the cab company.
"Tree Hill cab?" Said a voice on the other end.
"Yeah, I need three cabs to the Blue Post." Said Lucas.
"Three?"
"Yeah, we're going to three different houses and there are 6 of us." Said Lucas.
"You got it, they'll be there in about 20 minutes."
"Thanks." Said Lucas as he hung up the phone.
"How long?" Asked Brooke as she leaned on Lucas.
"Twenty minutes, why you tired?"
"No, I was just wondering." Said Brooke.
"So I say we make an agreement, no one calls anyone's phones until well after noon tomorrow." Said Jake anticipating small hangovers.
"I second that." Said Nathan.
"Agreed." Said Brooke.
The cabs showed up and the group parted Nathan and Haley got into their cab and realized that they knew the driver.
"Tim?"
"Nathan, how are you man?" Said Tim who had stayed behind to go to Tree Hill Community College.
"Good, how's school going for you?"
"Okay, can't complain, so where are you two going?"
"To my mom's."
"Okay, so question, Haley you talk to Brooke right?"
"Yeah, Tim I do and she's not available anymore." Said Haley.
"She's with someone, who?" Said Tim getting protective.
"She's with Lucas man, off limits." Said Nathan.
"Really, I thought they broke it off after Graduation."
"Yeah then they got back together a week later." Said Haley hoping this would shut Tim up.
"Oh, that's cool. So here we are man." Said Tim.
"Here, thanks man for doing this." Said Nathan as he handed Tim a twenty.
"No problem, I'll probably see you around."
"Yeah, listen after everyone eats, Jagielski, Luke and I are going to go down to the River Court on Thursday, if you want to join us." Said Nathan.
"Yeah, what time?"
"Um, I'm not sure yet, call here on Wednesday and I'll have a better idea." Said Nathan.
"Cool, well I got other calls, I'll talk to you on Wednesday." Said Tim.
"See ya man."
Tim pulled away from Deb's house and Nathan and Haley walked into the house.
"What's up you got quiet." Said Haley.
"Just the shock that Tim is a cab driver." Said Haley.
"Yeah, I know but he's still Dim, come on he practically hit on Brooke and she wasn't even in the car." Said Nathan.
"True." Said Haley as she and Nathan quietly walked up to their room.
"So Mr. Toid what would you like to do."
"Well, Miss Gill, you of course." Said Nathan as he and Haley started to make out, which led to clothes flying and pretty soon there was nothing covering the two of them but the sheets.
Meanwhile Brooke and Lucas didn't have as an eventful car ride home as Nathan and Haley but they did talk along the way.
"So have you decided on what you wanted to do yet?" Asked Lucas.
"Yeah, I have."
"So what did you decide?"
"I'm going to do it, I mean I can study interior design anywhere, and the scholarship that BU is offering is more than the one I have at NYU, which means I will have won't have to depend on my parents as much for the extra cash for tuition." Said Brooke.
"So your going to do it, no changing your mind, you can leave New York just like that?"
"Yeah, I mean I'm all by myself in New York, and I think I'll feel safer knowing you're in the same city."
"I'm glad your doing it I'll feel better knowing your safe and close every night, besides have they given you an idea of what dorm you'll be in?"
"No, why?"
"Cause I'm sure if you talk to house they can probably put you in my dorm, I wish in my room, but there's got to be room somewhere."
"It couldn't hurt to ask, but can we just not tell anyone yet until I officially get everything in order." Asked Brooke.
"Of course, I'm just happy you're going to do this." Said Lucas as the cab pulled up to the house.
"Well it doesn't look like anyone's awake, so what do you say if we're quiet we celebrate the fact that in two months I'll be moving to Boston."
"Hmm… I think I can handle it question is can you?" Said Lucas as he gave Brooke a piggyback ride after paying the driver.
"Yes, I can." Said Brooke as Lucas started to kiss her after they got into the room.
"Good, cause I have missed you."
"I missed you, too." Said Brooke as she took off Lucas' shirt, and started kissing him back.
Brooke and Lucas spent the night enjoying each other's company both physically and silently as they slept.
Jake and Peyton got home around the same time Larry did from his date with a mystery woman.
"Why did you guys take a cab home, if needed a ride you should have called me." Said Larry.
"Dad, we planned this that way no one had to drive. The cars are all at Nathan's mom's house." Said Peyton.
"Well that was a good idea, so where is everyone else?"
"Home, by now we all took separate cabs, cause we couldn't all fit in one." Said Jake.
"So what did you guys end up doing tonight?" Asked Larry.
"Um, we just went to dinner and then we went to a club." Said Peyton.
"Well at least you had a good time."
"We did, well I'm tired so I'm going to bed." Said Peyton as she started to walk up the stairs to her room.
"Yeah, we had a long night so I'm going to head up too, Night."
"Night Jake." Said Larry.
Jake and Peyton were barely in the room when they started to make out.
"Are you sure you just don't want to go to sleep?" Asked Jake in between kisses.
"No, I just said that so my dad wouldn't keep us down there any longer." Said Peyton.
"Okay." Said Jake now understanding why Peyton all of a sudden was tired.
Jake and Peyton took things slowly that night, both of them expecting Jenny to call out to them over the baby monitor, but then they realized that they didn't have Jenny that night but still took their time. Soon it was around 2 am and both Peyton and Jake were out for the night.
