Hey Guys

Sorry for the late posting last night I got a short case of writer's block, but I'm all better now. So I'm glad you all liked the chapter. So here all the individual thank yous:

PaulineJ: I am too never mind that it's hard to be in a long distance relationship, it's hard writing one…lol. The booty bag was a fluke. Thanks for your reviews.

Michaelsita: When I wrote the scene with the pictures, I was trying to come up with a way to get Jake, since I got Luke with the Booty Bag, and Nathan with 'Finding Nemo', getting Jake was next on the list for embarrassment. You have no idea how much fun it is to write this story.

Jeytonlover: yes Christmas is coming both in real life and in the story I haven't even started my real shopping. So I'm writing and deciding at the same time. Enjoy the next updates.

Love,

Emily

The next morning Brooke had a meeting at her new advisor's office. By her schedule she was running late, but she was actually running two hours early.

"Lucas, have you seen my bra?" Said Brooke as she was walking around in her robe.

"What?" Asked Lucas as he was just waking up.

"Where did you put my bra last night?" Said Brooke looking around the room.

"Uh, is this what you are looking for?" Asked Lucas as he held up Brooke's bra.

"Yes, I've looking for it for a half hour." Said Brooke as she went to grab it from him.

"Uh-uh, not without giving me a kiss good morning first." Said Lucas as he pulled Brooke to the bed.

"Lucas, we can't do this right now I have that meeting." Said Brooke as she tried to get out of his grasp.

"Give me a kiss good morning and not only will I give you your bra, I will let you go." Said Lucas.

"Fine, good morning, Broody." Said Brooke as she kissed him.

"Good Morning, Cheery so what time is your meeting at?"

"10, and I can't be late. But you have to take me because I have no idea where to go." Said Brooke now not wanting to be out of his grasp.

"Okay what time is it now?" Asked Lucas.

"8." Said Brooke.

"You woke me up at 8am on a Friday when I don't have a class to ask me where your bra was, when I could have slept until at least 9."

"Yup, I wanted some company." Said Brooke.

"Well since I'm awake now, do you want to go grab breakfast before the meeting?" Asked Lucas.

"No, we can do that later, how about a reprisal of last night." Asked Brooke.

"Later, we have to get ready for that meeting of yours. Besides if we do that there is no guarantee that we will stay awake afterwards." Said Lucas.

"True okay go get ready and so will I." Said Brooke.

Brooke and Lucas got ready to go and left his dorm room on their way to the office, Lucas stopped at Dunkin' Donuts for coffee and bagels for him and Brooke.

"Here you go my dear." Said Lucas as he handed Brooke her coffee and bagel.

"Thank you, I can't wait until we get home and can have your mom's coffee." Said Brooke.

"Soon, and I can't wait either I miss my mom's cooking." Said Lucas.

"Aww, a little home sick are we, Broody?"

"A little, but this will be our home for a while and then we can go home." Said Lucas.

"You don't want to live here after we graduate?" Asked Brooke.

"I don't know, home is where ever we make it, but someday I guess I would like to go back to North Carolina. Not necessarily Tree Hill but at least in the same state as our family." Said Lucas.

"Do you still have that dream of all of us living in the same neighborhood?"

"Of course I do, Brooke eventually we will all be together again, and not just for holidays scattered through out the year." Said Lucas.

"I like that dream, promise me that after we graduate we will go home." Said Brooke.

"I promise you."

A couple minutes later Brooke and Lucas arrived at the advisor's office. Mrs. Sims was a woman about Karen's age who was also Lucas' advisor. Mrs. Sims handled all students with sports scholarships, Lucas' scholarship in particular was a partially for basketball.

"Come in?" Said Mrs. Sims as Lucas knocked on the door.

"Hello, I'm Brooke Davis I have an appointment at 10 am."

"Come in, Brooke, Mr. Scott I wasn't aware you would be joining us this morning."

"Well, Brooke didn't know how to get here, so I brought her."

"Brooke I'm surprised that you allowed a stranger to take you all the way here." Said Mrs. Sims not realizing the closeness between Lucas and Brooke.

"Actually Lucas isn't a stranger, I know him quite well."

"Yeah, a little too well at times." Said Lucas.

"I don't understand."

"Brooke's my girlfriend, Mrs. Sims."

"Oh, okay now I understand." Responded Mrs. Sims.

"So you said on the phone that you had to have me sign some papers." Said Brooke.

"Oh, yes um, NYU sent your transcripts and you did very well this past semester, I am pleased to tell you that the 10 credits you earned so far have all been transferred here, so you will graduate with Lucas if everything goes according to plan." Said Mrs. Sims.

"That's great, do you happen to have my rooming assignment, yet?" Asked Brooke curiously.

"No, you'd have to go to the housing office for that but you are all registered. We looked at what your schedule would have been had you stayed at NYU and tailored it to the programs that we had here for your major, and Lucas if you would like I do have your schedule ready as well."

"That would be great." Said Lucas.

"Okay, now Brooke if you would just sign here and here, that will instate your scholarship, and this paper says that you have received the schools handbook."

"Okay, is that all?" Asked Brooke.

"Yes, now on February 19th they have a parents' weekend, would either of yours' be able to attend?" Asked Mrs. Sims.

"Um, I don't know do you think Keith and Karen could make it?" Asked Brooke to Lucas.

"We can ask them and Larry and Deb when we go home on Friday, I don't see why not." Said Lucas.

"Okay, that would be great. Here are your schedules, and we will see you on the 6th when classes start." Said Mrs. Sims.

"It was very nice to meet you, thank you for everything." Said Brooke as she shook the woman's hand.

"You are welcome Brooke, and welcome to Boston University." Said Mrs. Sims as she walked with Brooke and Lucas to the elevator.

Once in the elevator the young couple looked at their schedules and noticed that they had at least two classes together, English Lit and Ethics.

"Oh, thank goodness we have English together you can help me study." Said Brooke.

"You got it Babe." Said Lucas as he kissed Brooke's head.

"So which way is the housing office?" Asked Brooke.

"This way." Said Lucas pulling her in the opposite direction.

They got to the housing office and found the person who was handling Brooke's room assignment.

"Okay your room is in East Campus Brownstone #314 room 6, I'm sure your friend knows the whereabouts of the East Campus." Said the housing lady.

"Yeah, that's where I live, but there's already someone in 6." Said Lucas.

"Who?" Asked Brooke.

"Noah."

"Noah Michaels according to the file has decided to move to another Brownstone, so the room has gone to Miss Davis." Said the woman.

"Can you live with the fact that I live next door to you?" Asked Brooke jokingly.

"I think I can. Wait until Mom finds out." Said Lucas.

"Mom, hell wait until everyone finds out." Said Brooke matching Luke's playful tone.

Brooke and Lucas decided after their meetings to go back to Lucas' room and hang out before going shopping for Jenny.

"Hey you have messages." Said Brooke.

"Can you press play please?"

"I think I can do that." Said Brooke as she hit the play button on the machine.

"Hey, bro it's Nate give me a call when you get back." Said Nathan.

"Hey, Brooke it's Peyton, Hales told me where you were, after I tried your cell give me a call when you can, k." Said Peyton.

"I guess we should call them back, it's got to be important if everyone called." Said Brooke with a laugh.

"Hey, Lucas it's Mom, call me please it's about Christmas." Said Karen.

"Hello, Karen's Café. Karen speaking."

"Hey, Mom you called?" Said Lucas

"Yes, I did I even called Brooke's to try and find you, but there was no answer there either. Since when do you turn off your cell phone?"

"Since Brooke and I were in meetings with housing and our advisor." Said Lucas.

"So you two are together right now?"

"Yes, we are so what about Christmas?"

"Well, we decided that since Deb had your grandparents for Thanksgiving that we would have them stay here over Christmas." Said Karen.

"Okay, but what does that have to do with Brooke and I?"

"Well Keith, Larry, and Bruce have been redoing the basement as sort of a guest room/rec room, so we were thinking we'd give your grandparents your room and you and Brooke could sleep downstairs."

"That's fine Mom as long as we have something to actually sleep on that's fine." Said Lucas as Brooke looked at him questioningly.

"Okay, goodness you took that better than I thought you would, you two can sleep in your room until they get here if you want. Just remember to keep the PDA to a minimum and if you do anything, and you know what I mean confine it to the basement, please."

"Don't worry we will Mom. So um we get in at around 2 on Saturday because of the game so, should we just take a cab or what?"

"No, Nathan and Haley are coming down on Friday so your brother will be picking you up."

"Nate is driving at 2 am?" Said Lucas.

"Lucas, it'll be fine." Said Karen.

"I know, I just wish we were getting in earlier that's all, but I have to play in Friday's game." Said Lucas.

"Okay well thank you for calling me back, but I have customers, so I will talk to you later."

"Bye, Mom."

"Bye, Honey."

"So what's up?" Asked Brooke as she changed into jeans.

"Well, not only do we have to drive with Nathan at 2 am, but I'm afraid we've been banished to the basement."

"Your mom's basement?"

"Yes, but she said that Keith, Larry, and Bruce have been redoing it and that it is going to be a guest room." Said Lucas as he pulled Brooke into the chair with him.

"What about our room upstairs?"

"That's the only catch, my grandparents are going to be staying there, since Deb had them over at Thanksgiving, Keith and my mom decided that they should stay with us for Christmas, oh and we have to keep PDAs to a minimum and if we should start making out we have to go to the basement." Said Lucas.

"Okay, so I have to call Peyton and you have to call Nathan." Said Brooke as she pulled out her cell phone.

"Hi?" Said Jenny.

"Jenny, it's Auntie Brooke where are Mommy and Daddy?" Said Brooke worried about the fact that Jenny answered the phone.

"Shh, they sweep." Said Jenny.

"Okay, honey take the phone to Mommy and put it to her ear for me. Can you do that?" Asked Brooke.

"Okay, it here." Said Jenny.

"Good morning Peyton, this is your morning wake up call so WAKE UP!" Yelled Brooke as Lucas was laughing.

"What?" Said Peyton.

"Yeah, your two year old answered the phone, you called?" Said Brooke.

"We dozed that's all, we started watching 'Barney'."

"Well that will do it to you." Said Brooke.

"So what's up?"

"You called me remember?"

"Oh, yeah I wanted to know what time you guys were getting in on Friday."

"Um, 2 am Saturday morning."

"Okay, so I'll see you sometime Saturday night?" Asked Peyton.

"Yeah, defiantly." Said Brooke.

"So okay, well I'll talk to you later because I have to get to class." Said Peyton.

"Okay, talk later." Said Brooke as she hung up the phone.

"So what happened?"

"Both Jake and Peyton fell asleep watching 'Barney'." Answered Brooke.

"Nice. So I guess that means I have to call Nathan." Said Lucas.

"Yup."

"Hello?" Said Nathan as he answered the phone.

"Hey, I got your message. What's up?" Asked Lucas.

"Not much, I just wanted to tell you Hales and I were picking you and Brooke up that's all." Said Nathan.

"Oh, okay well my mom just told me that, are you sure you'll be okay to drive at that hour, because Brooke and I can always catch a cab from the airport." Said Lucas.

"I'll be fine and Hales is driving I'm not." Said Nathan.

"Okay, so we'll see you on Saturday then." Said Lucas.

"Yeah, well I have to get going, one more day of classes." Said Nathan.

"I'm done, but I have a game on Friday so I'll see you then."

"Alright, bye."

"Bye."
