So because of the holiday I only had four reviewers and they were LuvAngel448, Bluetiga, MARIALAFFERTY, Team Frank, and you all said pretty much the same thing so I'm glad you guys enjoyed Chapter 45 and keep reading.

Nathan and Haley sat in the front seat while Brooke and Lucas occupied the back. The talks consisted of the plans for Keith and Karen's days and when they would go with Karen dress shopping for the wedding.

"So I talked to Deb last night just to tell give her an idea of what time to expect us and she said that they have no idea what we're planning." Said Haley.

"Yeah, I talked to Keith the other day and all he knows is that we're going to the car show on Saturday." Said Lucas.

"You know we are so good at keeping these secrets from our parents its scary." Said Brooke.

"It is isn't it." Said Haley.

"Yeah, so do want to stop at the café for dinner or just go home?" Asked Nathan.

"You guys don't have plans tonight with Deb?" Asked Lucas.

"Not that I was told." Said Nathan.

"Café then?" Said Brooke.

"Café it is." Said Nathan.

About a half hour later Nathan pulled onto the street that the café was on and parked the car. The four of them got out and made their way to the café and walked through the familiar doors. They noticed that the café was not busy.

As soon as the bell sounded Karen looked up at the group of people that walked in and immediately walked over to her children.

"I thought we were all going to be meeting at the house later." Said Karen.
"Well, we got hungry on the way here so we thought it would be a good idea to stop for food and to see you before we headed there." Said Lucas.

"Okay, do you guys want your usuals?" Asked Karen.

"Yeah, I would." Said Lucas.

"Me, too." Said Brooke.

"What about you guys?" Asked Karen to Nathan and Haley.

"Um, yeah I will. Can I help with anything?" Asked Haley.

"Yeah, go sit down with your husband and try to keep their hands off of each other." Said Karen talking about Brooke and Lucas.

"Well, feed us and you won't have that problem." Said Lucas jokingly.

"Nathan, what about you?" Asked Karen as she rolled her eyes at Lucas.

"Uh, the usual is fine Karen thanks." Said Nathan.

"Okay, I'll go get everything and your mom should be here soon."

"Okay." Said Nathan as he walked back over to where they found seating. "So my mom will be here soon." Said Nathan.

"Cool." Said Lucas.

A couple minutes later Deb walked in and noticed that her sons were back home.

"Well, this is a surprise I wasn't expecting to see you guys until later." Said Deb as she hugged all the kids.

"We got hungry on the way into town so we thought we'd stop before we got home that's all." Said Nathan.

"Well, I'm certainly glad you did. Does Karen know you guys are here?" Responded Deb.

"Yeah, we saw her when we first got here." Said Brooke.

"Okay, so is everything set on your guys end for the…?" Asked Deb.

"Yeah I'll show you later because we're going to drop that stuff at your house just to be safe." Said Brooke.

"Okay, well I'm going to go help Karen I'll see you guys in a little while." Said Deb.

The kids had their dinner and decided to all go home to their houses.

"Brooke you forgot a bag." Said Nathan.

"No, that one is going with you guys." Said Brooke.

"Why what's in it?"

"That's the stuff for Saturday, that way it's safe from discovery." Said Brooke.

"Oh, okay." Said Nathan as he closed the trunk of the car when they pulled up to Karen and Keith's house.

"Have fun, be safe we'll see you tomorrow." Said Haley.

"Bye guys, let's go Cheery." Said Lucas.

"So what room are we staying in?" Asked Brooke.

"I don't know wherever you want to."

"We'll figure it out later." Said Brooke.

Brooke and Lucas walked into the house and decided to get something to drink and then settled on the couch to watch something on TV, before Keith and Karen got home.

"So, Peyton, Jake, and Jenny are getting in tomorrow at 2 and Larry is picking them up." Said Brooke from her spot lying on Lucas' lap on the couch.

"Okay, so what are we doing tomorrow night?" Asked Lucas as he absently rubbed her head.

"I don't know play it by ear, I know we have to meet with Deb and Lorna and iron out final details for Saturday." Said Brooke.

"Okay, well we got the tickets to the car show and everything is set on that front."

"How many of you are going to this thing?"

"Why you worried about us?" Asked Lucas.

"No I'm just trying to figure out how much bail money we need." Said Brooke jokingly.

"Okay, okay just for the record I've only been arrested once, Nathan twice, and Jake once, and by the way you shouldn't talk, I seem to remember having to bail you guys out once before also." Said Lucas.

"Yes, but when you got arrested who were you with?" Asked Brooke.

"I was with Nathan, but you were with Peyton, and Haley who I never thought would get arrested."

"She was arrested by mistake, who ever heard of getting arrested for wearing a shirt?"

"Brooke while you and Peyton had good intentions you two stole the shirt and other items of clothing that you got arrested for." Said Lucas.

"Yeah, Yeah."

Meanwhile Nathan and Haley were getting settled in at Deb's house.

"So are you guys almost planning Karen's party?"

"Yeah, we just have one more quickie meeting with your mom and Lorna and then this will go off with out a hitch. What about everything with Keith?" Said Haley.

"Everything is fine Larry has the tickets, it's going to be me, Luke, Jake, Keith of course, Bruce, Larry, Grandpa, and Whitey." Said Nathan.

"You guys are coming back that night right?"

"Yes, we are especially since Easter is the next day." Said Nathan.

"Okay." Said Haley.

Jake and Peyton finally had everything packed and ready to go the next morning, Jenny was down for a nap and Peyton was chatting with Brooke and Haley on the phone about their plans for their time in Tree Hill.

"So tomorrow Chinese, and Blue Post?" Asked Brooke jokingly.

"Ask the boys if they are prepared to lose a drinking contest that they wouldn't believe." Said Haley.

"Okay, just a quick reminder of how we felt after we did it over Thanksgiving." Said Brooke.

"Yeah, but it is so worth it to watch them try to keep up with the three of us. Besides I think Junk is the bartender there now." Said Haley.

"How did you find that out?" Asked Brooke.

"Dim called Nathan the other day and mentioned it." Said Haley.

"I think we should do it." Said Brooke. "Even if Junk is there."

"Are you kidding Junk will probably egging us on and calling the boys wusses." Said Peyton.

"You think they'll go for it?" Asked Haley.

"Go for what?" Asked Nathan as he walked into the room.

"Chinese and Blue Post tomorrow night?" Asked Haley.

"Yeah, I'll go for the Chinese but I'm not sure how successful we're going to be with Blue Post if Junk is working." Said Nathan.

"Don't worry we have a secret weapon." Said Haley.

"What?" Asked Nathan worried at her answer.

"The world's best flirt, Brooke." Said Haley.

"We'll figure it out." Said Nathan knowing Brooke's skills could either get them in trouble or they would have major success at the bar.

"Nate's in can you get the other two?" Asked Haley.

"Oh, I can get Luke in on it." Said Brooke.

"I so don't want to know how, what about Jake?" Said Haley.

"Jake will go as long as he has back up." Said Peyton.

"Okay so it's settled Chinese food and then on to Blue Post tomorrow." Said Brooke. "Oh, don't forget the ID's." Said Peyton.

"Mine's already in my wallet ready to go." Said Brooke.
