Hey Guys

So I just found out that the show will be returning on Jan.11, YAY! I can't wait and instead of going through OTH withdrawals they will be showing repeats of the episodes we've already seen. So I think we get to see Nathan beat the crap out of Chris right before the second half starts. And I also just want to say I love how everyone thought that Haley was pregnant. And just so you know in my story Dan never got the chance to take Lucas out of his will so that is how Lucas has money with out work at the moment.

jeytonlover: Don't worry I was debating whether or not to make her pregnant but then I thought it would be too soon for them.

DanaJaycee: I didn't want to make her pregnant and married at 18 it's too cliché. The hit list was just something that would be funny to put in, because that is the last thing any parent wants to wake up to. Thank goodness I finally got them in the same city it is so much easier to write these characters when they are in the same vicinity as each other.

PaulineJ: I figured Brooke needed money sooner or later and I really couldn't think of another job to give her.

Love,

Emily

(Mark Schwann and the WB own the characters depicted in this story I don't own anything… I wish I could say I owned the show but I don't)

Brooke and Lucas returned back to the dorm cold and in need of warmth. Lucas helped Brooke out of her coat and she instinctively ran for his bed.

"OMG how is it even possible for it to be that cold?" Asked Brooke as she quickly got under the comforter.

"I don't know babe but all I know is I am so not looking forward to 2 ½ more months of this. Now push over so I can join you." Said Lucas.

"I'm cold Broody." Said Brooke as she cuddled with Lucas.

"So am I, come here so we can get each other warm." Said Lucas.

"Explain to me why we chose to come to the North Pole again instead of staying down south." Said Brooke.

"At this point I have no idea." Said Lucas as his cell phone started to ring.

"Aren't you going to answer it?" Asked Brooke as she noticed Lucas wasn't moving.

"I would but that means I would have to get out of bed, because my phone is in my coat pocket and my coat is over there." Said Lucas.

"What if it's important?" Asked Brooke.

"Then they will call the room phone which is right here, or they will call your phone." Said Lucas just as the room phone started to ring. "Told ya."

"Hello?"

"Hey honey, I just tried to call your cell but you didn't answer." Said Karen.

"Hi Mom, sorry the phone is on the other side of the room and I was too cold to get up and get it." Said Lucas.

"Are you feeling alright?" Asked Karen concerned.

"I'm fine Mom. Brooke and I went for a walk and got cold so we came back to the dorm to warm up. So what's going on?"

"Well I just called to let you know that Keith and I set a date for the wedding."

"That's great when?"

"The first week in June just after you guys get back, and then we've decided to go backpacking in Europe for the summer so you and Brooke will be house sitting is that okay?" Said Karen.

"That sounds great Mom." Said Lucas.

"Ask her about Parents' Weekend." Said Brooke.

"Oh, Mom while I have you on the phone. I got a notice on the door about the Parents' Weekend, we just didn't know if you and Keith were able to figure out if you could come yet?" Said Lucas.

"That's the other thing I wanted to tell you, all four of us can make it." Said Karen.

"Really?" Asked Lucas.

"Yes, Deb has one for Nathan and Haley the weekend before so we are going to that and then we are coming to see you guys. I already made the hotel arrangements." Said Karen.

"Well we really appreciate it Mom, I mean going to Nathan and Hales' is one thing because their only 3 hours away but for you guys to travel all the way up here is another." Said Lucas.

"Lucas, we want to see where our children are living and what the campus looks like." Said Karen. "So we will see on the 18th."

"Okay, Brooke and I will meet you wherever you want." Said Lucas.

"Okay, I call you when we have more definite plans." Said Karen.

"Alright, I'll talk to you soon, tell Keith we said hi." Said Lucas.

"I will sweetie, bye." Said Karen as she hung up the phone.

"So what's going on?" Asked Brooke.

"Mom and Keith set the date for the first week in June and then for their honeymoon they are going backpacking through Europe."

"For how long?"

"How would you like live with me all summer at home?" Asked Lucas.

"Like I would say no." Said Brooke.

"Well then I guess we're staying in Tree Hill this summer."

"Wait if Karen and Keith are going to Europe what about the garage, I mean I find it hard to believe Keith is going to shut it down for 2 months." Said Brooke.

"I don't know yet we'll talk to him about it some other time."

"Okay, so well I have to call Haley, Peyton, and Deb and talk to them about what we're going to do about throwing Karen a bridal shower."

"Why when you say those words do I have a flashback to when you threw a bridal shower for Haley." Asked Lucas.

"Oh, you were just unhappy because you ended up playing videogames with your brother and Dim at Nathan's."

"Well I did have a better time with them at Nathan's party than I did at the Classic that time." Said Lucas.

"What did you guys do before you came to the pool?" Asked Brooke.

"I never told you this?" Asked Lucas.

"No."

"Oh man, well after you went into and I say this lovingly Bitch mode and took away the other cheerleaders Tim comes up with the great idea to go to a strip club, but it wasn't what we thought it was going to be. It turned out it was ladies night and the strippers were guys." Said Lucas.

"That is why we ended up at the pool with you guys."

Meanwhile Nathan was driving Haley up the wall; it was like she had never been sick around him before. Every two seconds he was asking her if she was okay, if she needed anything until she snapped.

"Nathan! I'm fine it's the flu I am not dying so stop acting like I am please, because if you don't stop I can not be responsible for what I do to you." Said Haley.

"Haley, I'm just trying to help you." Said Nathan.

"But Nathan the doctor told me to rest and you coming over here every twenty minutes asking me if I'm okay is not letting me do that, I understand you are concerned, really I do, but you have to relax honey." Said Haley.

"I'm sorry I just hate seeing you sick that's all."

"I know but the only way I'm actually going to get better is if I get to rest." Said Haley.

"Okay, I'll relax." Said Nathan.

In Seattle Jake and Peyton stayed home and played with Jenny all-day and let her ride her tricycle around the apartment since it was too cold to go out side to do it. The sweet thing about it was that Jenny insisted on wearing her protective gear while she rode. So Peyton pulled out the camera and took some pictures to send to the rest of the family.

"Mama wook I widing." Said Jenny.

"I see you riding honey, you having fun?"

"Yeah." Said Jenny as she waved to the video camera that Jake was holding.

Just as Jenny was about to run Jake over on the bike the phone rang and Peyton got up to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey P. Sawyer what's up?"

"Hey Brooke what's going on how are you liking Boston so far?"

"It's great we tried to go out side but decided it was too cold and turned back, anyways enough about that I just called to tell you that Karen and Keith set a date for the wedding and so I was thinking of throwing her a mild bridal shower. So what do you think?"

"I'm in, as long we don't end up washing dishes I'm in." Said Peyton remembering Brooke's bash for Haley where she, Brooke, Bevin, and Charlotte ended up washing dishes to pay their bill.

"We won't I already promised Lucas that we wouldn't do anything like that. Just a small get together." Said Brooke.

"Okay, so what date did they pick?"

"The first week in June and then they decided to go backpacking around Europe for the summer and Lucas and I are staying in Tree Hill all summer." Said Brooke.

"That should be interesting." Said Peyton who could just imagine Brooke and Lucas under one roof with no parents around.

"Okay, so I have to call Haley and tell her about every thing so give Jake and Jenny our love and I'll talk to you soon." Said Brooke.

"Okay, oh before I forget I'm sending you guys some pictures and a video of Jenny so it should be in your email tonight." Said Peyton.

"Super we'll watch for it." Said Brooke.

"Okay bye Ho."

"Bye P. Sawyer." Said Brooke.

"Peyton's in for the party now all I have to do is call Tutor Girl and Deb and my plan can go into effect." Said Brooke.

"This is all on you, you know that right." Said Lucas as he got out of the bed to change into some pajama bottoms.

"Yes, and it will be fun, I promise. Peyton said that she's sending video and pictures tonight of Jenny." Said Brooke.

"Cool, so make your phone calls that way we can decide what we are doing for dinner." Said Lucas.

"Okay." Said Brooke as she leaned up to kiss him.

"Hello?"

"Hi Nathan, how's everything going?"

"Fine, except Hales has the flu. So how's Boston treating you?"

"Great, well if Haley isn't feeling well I don't want to bother her so just tell her to give me a call when she does." Said Brooke.

"Okay, I'll tell her and tell Luke I said hi." Said Nathan.

"Okay, I hope she feels better I'll talk to you guys soon." Said Brooke.

"Alright bye." Said Nathan as he hung up the phone.

"What's up?"

"Oh, Hales has the flu and I told Nathan who says hi by the way not to disturb her. I'll catch her later."

"Okay, you going to call Deb now, because your probably going to need her help in arranging everything down there." Said Lucas.

"Yeah, in a little while I'm getting hungry too so why don't we order pizza or something." Said Brooke.

"Okay, pizza it is."

Lucas called and ordered the pizza. After it was delivered they sat on the bed and watched a movie and fell asleep shortly there after.
