Hey Guys

So here we are the over the hill magic Chapter 40(pun in tended). So since I made the last chapter sad I promise to make this one happier. I'm going to advance it to Valentine's Day, since it is only a couple weeks. All will be explained.

mags0607: I like writing them as a family because that's how I am with my friends, no matter what I know I can call them, and they will be there for me.

MARIALAFFERTY: Yes, they do and I plan on keeping them that way. No break ups in my stories.

Bluetiga: I figure they have to support him no matter what happens because ultimately it is his decision.

LuvAngel448: Thank you so much.

PaulineJ: I know it was sad but it will get happier I promise.

Love,

Emily

It had been a month since Lucas left the team, and he was happy about it. His next doctor's appointment went well and Brooke was there with him through it all, they never spent a night alone, he and Brooke had arranged everything with their scholarships that as long as Brooke went to every practice for cheerleading and performed at all the home games she didn't have to travel when the team went on the road. And they had revised Lucas' scholarship so that his was now a full academic scholarship. Andy's ethics class was going smoothly and due to all the studying they were doing they were both doing extremely well. On many occasions either Brooke or Lucas had the highest marks. Some people thought it was because Andy was playing favorites but they knew it was because they earned them fair and square, and Andy's teaching assistant graded all his papers for him so there was no call for attention. Their English class was going the same way; they were getting high marks in that class also. Everything Brooke and Lucas were setting their minds to was succeeding.

It took Brooke a couple weeks to get the designs she wanted done but eventually she had gotten the pictures of them off to Mouth for the website and the orders were slowly coming in. She even was asked by Mike's new girlfriend to help her with a dress for an event that she had to go to.

It was now Valentine's Day and they decided to just stay home and hang out. Neither one of them wanted to go to the parties that were being held around town. So they decided to have on of their own with Chinese take-out a couple movies and each other. They had called their friends and wished them all a Happy Valentine's Day. They had classes earlier that day and Lucas decided to surprise Brooke in the morning with having a dozen red roses delivered to their Ethics class. Now they were trying to decide on what to do with their parents when they came for the weekend. They knew that since they had all decided to come on Thursday, on Friday they could take them on a sight seeing trip around Boston.

"Hey Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"What time is everyone coming in on Thursday?" Asked Brooke.

"Um, I think some time around noon. So we have to get our rooms cleaned and organized before then." Said Lucas as he came over and sat back down on the bed after he got some sodas from the mini-fridge in Brooke's room.

"You clean I'll just watch." Said Brooke as she curled up beside Lucas.

"No, you my dear are going to clean also." Said Lucas.

"But, I hate cleaning." Said Brooke.

"I know Cinderella, but you know when we both clean together it gets done a lot faster, besides we only have two rooms to do, instead of a whole house." Said Lucas remembering when he walked in on Brooke 'moping' the floor with a sponge.

"We don't have a vacuum to do the rugs." Said Brooke.

"I think Mike or his girlfriend do, I'll call him in the morning and see if we can barrow it." Said Lucas knowing that the rugs in their rooms needed a good vacuuming.

"Okay, now I was going to wait until later to give you your Valentine's Day present but I want to give it to you now." Said Brooke as she reached over Lucas and got a small package out of her nightstand.

"What did you do?" Asked Lucas.

"Nothing, but I saw this and I thought of you." Said Brooke as she handed him the gift.

"What is it?"

"Well last week you were complaining that your wallet was falling apart so open it." Said Brooke.

"Brooke it's gorgeous thank you sweetheart." Said Lucas as kissed her. "Okay, since you gave me my present I guess I can give you yours." He said as he reached under her bed and pull out the present that he had stashed under there earlier.

"What is it?"

"Open it and find out." Said Lucas as Brooke started opening the wrapping paper.

"It's beautiful can you put it up before everyone gets here?" Asked Brooke as she looked at a set of picture frames that were set like a collage to hang on the wall.

"Yeah, as soon as you put some pictures in it." Said Lucas.

"Thank you, I love my present." Said Brooke as she kissed Lucas.

"Your welcome, thank you for mine." Said Lucas.

"So what did Boy Toy get Tutor Girl this year?"

"I have no idea, I'm sure Hales will call in the morning and tell you. Do you know what Jake got Peyton?"

"Nope, you know our friends are very secretive."

"Well they probably figured someone in the group would slip up by accident." Said Lucas knowing if Brooke told Haley, she would tell Nathan and some how it would get to Lucas and the same with Peyton and Jake. With the 6 of them secrets didn't stay secrets for long because they all talked to each other so often.

It was the next morning and Brooke and Lucas were awoken to the sound of a ringing phone, which Lucas found on the other side of the bed.

"Who the hell is calling this early, tell whoever it is that they are dead." Said Brooke as she fell back to sleep on Lucas.

"Hello?" Said Lucas sleepily.

"Hey Luke, did I wake you?"

"Hales, all I have to say is Brooke says your dead, and if you wanted to talk to her you can't because she is sound asleep. And if you don't mind I would like to be too." Said Lucas.

"Grouch."

"Is Nate awake yet?"

"No."

"Go wake up your husband, and I will have Brooke call you later."

"Fine, bye."

"Bye Hales."

Lucas fell back to sleep and a few hours later it was Brooke who woke him up.

"Hey, sleepy head, get up." Said Brooke.

"Hmm, good morning." Said Lucas.

"Morning, so who do I have to kill?"

"Haley."

"What did she want that early?"

"You know, I forgot to ask her." Said Lucas.

"I'll call her back right now."

"Hello?"

"Hi Nate, is your wife awake?"

"Hi Brooke, she's right here and tell my brother thank you for telling her to wake me up after she talked to him." Said Nathan.

"I will."

"Alright here she is."

"Hello?"

"Hey Tutor Girl, so what was so important that you had to call so early?"

"I just wanted to see how your guys' Valentine's Day went."

"It was fine we just stayed in had Chinese food, watched a couple movies and exchanged presents."

"So what did you get end up getting each other?" Asked Haley.

"I got Luke a wallet cause his fell apart last week, and he gave me a collage of picture frames that is really gorgeous." Said Brooke.

"Cool."

"So what did you Nathan do?"

"The same thing as you and Lucas, only we ordered a pizza and relaxed."

"So what did you and Nate get each other?"

"I got Nathan a new watch because he accidentally drop his in a sick full of water and he gave me a locket." Said Haley.

"Cool, you'll have to email me a picture of it."

"Defiantly. So what else are you doing right now?"

"Nothing but Lucas and I have to clean our rooms this week, since the parents are coming on Thursday." Said Brooke.

"Ah, is it really messy?"

"No, we just have to vacuum and pick up some clothes and stuff like that." Said Brooke.

"That will be fast, but I didn't know you guys had a vacuum." Said Haley.

"Um, we don't but I think Mike does so we're going to call him later and see if we can barrow it." Said Brooke.

"Cool, so have you talked to Peyton yet?"

"No, and I won't until later, because it's too early there and I don't want to wake Jenny up on them yet."

"Good point." Said Haley.

"So what do you and Nate have planned?"

"Nothing I think we're just going to hang around today." Said Haley.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Said Brooke.

"What?"

"Yesterday during Ethics Lucas had a dozen red roses delivered to me in the middle of Andy's lecture on fair business practices." Said Brooke.

"That is so romantic." Said Haley.

"Yeah, it was." Said Brooke.

"Well, I have to get going I just wanted to know how your Valentine's Day was and I hear from Peyton I will tell her to call you, where are you going to be your's or Luke's?"

"Tell her to call either one cause we have both phones with us." Said Brooke looking at the menagerie of Lucas' room phone, his cell and her cell on the bed.

"Okay, talk to you later." Said Haley.

"K, Bye."

"Bye."

"So what did Nate and Haley get each other this year." Asked Lucas.

"Nathan got a watch because he dropped his in the sink that was full of water, and Haley got a locket. And she said that the roses you got me were romantic." Said Brooke.

"Well, I try." Said Lucas pleased that he got the approval from Haley on that.

"I know you do and you succeed every time." Said Brooke as she kissed him.

It was now a couple days later and Brooke and Lucas were just finishing up the cleaning of their rooms. They had ended up barrowing Mike's girlfriend's vacuum. Then everything would be ready for the arrival of their family for the parents' weekend.
