Hey Guys

I am getting cabin fever, I need work soon! I'm not really used to this sitting home all day by my self. And I hope I don't. As many of you have noticed tonight probably I wrote a new Brucas story it's short only six chapters, but I got away from my usual format and did a song fic. So feel free to tell me what you think about it, it's called 'She Didn't Have Time'.

DanaJaycee: I hope every thing is okay with your family and I send my best wishes out to you. I'm still thinking of the style but I have a few ideas for the dresses. I'm glad they are home too.

mags0607: Thank you for the review mags. And I'm glad they are all home too.

LuvAngel448: Thank you for reviewing here as well as on 'She Didn't Have Time'. Someone thought it was a little rush but while I was writing I was going by the lyrics and kind of what the music video played out. As for this story I didn't see the review for Chapter 57 until this morning so I'm sorry for not thanking you last night.

Love,

Emily

Shortly after the guys left the car rental place they arrived at the café, Nathan spotted his car a couple spaces down from where they parked.

"The girls are here." Said Nathan.

"How do you know we are even at the café yet." Said Skills.

"Because my car is right there." Said Nathan.

"Oh." Said Skills.

A couple seconds later the boys walked into the café.

"Hey Mom." Said Lucas as he sat down next to Brooke.

"Hi Sweetie." Said Karen as she came around and hugged Lucas.

"Hi Deb." Said Lucas as he hugged his step- mother.

"Hi Lucas." Said Deb.

"What I don't get a hug?" Said Nathan jokingly.

"Why didn't you just say something." Said Skills as he walked over to Nathan.

"I meant from my mother and Karen." Said Nathan as he jokingly backed up from Skills.

"Come here you big baby." Said Deb as she hugged Nathan.

"Hi Nate." Said Karen as she hugged him.

"So everything is moved in you guys just have to organize it, and put everything where you want it." Said Lucas. "And here are your keys." He said as he handed them to Brooke.

"Okay, are the dresses in the closet?" Asked Brooke.

"Yeah, Nate put them in there and your sewing kit is on the desk that way you can do the alterations." Said Lucas.

"You thought of everything. Did they give you any trouble at the rental places?" Said Brooke.

"No, got the deposit back and everything." Said Lucas.

"Okay."

"So do you know how you did on your first finals yet?" Asked Bevin.

"No, we won't find out for a couple weeks but Andy's was pretty easy all his questions were from quizzes and exams that we had already had so that was pretty quick and the English Lit one was compares and contrasts different books and essays about the underlining meaning to them." Said Brooke.

"Well that's good, you told them to send your grades down here right?" Asked Karen.

"Yeah they sent around address card a couple weeks ago by dorms asking where everyone was going to be." Said Lucas.

"Well that's good so there's no confusion about the report cards." Said Haley.

Jake and Peyton were still driving in the Midwest when they decided to stop for dinner at a small diner.

"So what time do you think we'll get there by?" Asked Peyton.

"If we keep up this pace, sometime tomorrow morning we should be there by noon." Said Jake.

"That'll be good." Said Peyton.

"I just want to get there in daylight, that way we can get everything unloaded fast and then hang out with our family." Said Jake.

"Defiantly do you think they're done moving Brooke and Lucas in?" Asked Peyton.

"Probably neither of them left with that much stuff before, why don't you call and see." Said Jake as he cut up Jenny's hot dog for her.

"Okay."

"Hello?"

"Hey Brooke just calling for and to give a status report." Said Peyton joking around about the calls they had been making lately.

"Well we are all done and the car and trailer are returned we're just sitting down at the café talking with Deb and Karen." Said Brooke. "Where are you guys now?"

"At a diner just outside of St. Louis, Jake said that if we keep up the pace we are then hopefully we'll get there by noon tomorrow." Said Peyton.

"That'll be great, well listen after you guys get settled I need your body for minor alterations on your dress." Said Brooke.

"Okay, um how about Monday morning I'll come over and we can do them then." Suggested Peyton.

"Monday it is." Said Brooke.

"So what are you guys doing tonight?" Asked Peyton.

"We're just going to hang out at home, since you guys aren't here yet there really isn't any point in going out." Said Brooke.

"Got ya, well after the wedding we'll all go out and have one of our crazy nights." Said Peyton.

"You can count on it." Said Brooke.

"Okay well we're going to go get back on the road and I will see you tomorrow." Said Peyton.

"Okay, be safe." Said Brooke.

"We will, bye." Said Peyton as she hung up the phone.

"So what state are they in now?" Asked Haley.

"They are at a diner just outside of St. Louis and they are getting back on the road right now." Said Brooke. "She said they should be here around noon."

"Cool." Said Lucas. "Well not to cut this visit short but we should go try to make some sense of our room."

"I agree, does anyone need a ride?"

"My car is down at the River Court." Said Bevin.

"You guys go ahead we'll take Skills and Bevin to her car." Said Haley knowing they were both tired.

"You sure?" Asked Lucas.

"Go, unpack, and get some sleep." Said Haley.

"Okay we'll see you guys later." Said Brooke.

Brooke and Lucas left the café after saying goodbye to everyone and drove back to the house. When they got into the room they both saw the organized mess that was their room.

"Okay, I think we should find everything that we need tonight and tomorrow and worry about the rest later." Said Lucas.

"That's a good idea but I think we should just unpack what we can tonight and then finish the rest tomorrow." Said Brooke.

"Okay, let's get started with the clothes and then work our way up to the big stuff." Said Lucas.

"Okay." Said Brooke as she moved one of the suitcases on to the bed and found the box of coat hangers that they had.

After about 2 hours everything but their books were unpacked, Brooke and Lucas both sat on bed and looked at the progress they had made. Keith returned home a couple minutes later and Karen got there about ½ hour after that.

"Hello? Brooke, Lucas you guys home?"

"Hey Keith." Said Brooke as she and Lucas walked out to the kitchen.

"Hey how was the drive." Asked Keith as he hugged the kids.

"Long. But we got in at about 2 or so." Said Lucas.

"So I assume you guys have been unpacking."

"Yeah, hey do you mind if we put one of the fridges in the basement?"

"No, where's the other one going."

"Our room." Said Lucas with a laugh.

"Cool."

"Yeah, I just need help getting it down there but we can worry about that tomorrow." Said Lucas.

"You got it. So have you heard from Jake and Peyton?"

"I talked to Peyton a couple hours ago and they were eating outside of St. Louis. Jake thinks they should be here around noon." Said Brooke.

"They're making good time when did they leave Seattle?" Asked Keith.

"Before we did on Friday." Said Brooke.

"Hey Guys." Said Karen as she walked into the house.

"Hey Mom."

"Hey Karen." Said Brooke.

"How's the unpacking coming?" Asked Karen.

"We just have books left but I think we're going to leave those for tomorrow." Said Lucas.

"You both look exhausted why don't you go get some sleep and I come get you when dinner is ready." Said Karen.

"You sure? Because we can help Mom." Said Lucas.

"Go, I will come get you when it's ready." Said Karen as she all but pushed Brooke and Lucas out of the kitchen.

"Okay." Said Brooke.

Brooke and Lucas both fell asleep fast, by the time Karen came to get them for dinner. When she saw them asleep she didn't have the heart to wake them so she grabbed one of the comforters and placed it over them and walked back out of the room.

"Where are Brooke and Lucas?" Asked Keith as Karen came back into the kitchen.

"Sound asleep they looked so peaceful I didn't have the heart to wake them so I'm just going to make them a couple plates in case they wake up and are hungry, but from the looks of things they won't be getting up until tomorrow morning." Said Karen.

"I don't blame them they had a busy day, but I think tomorrow will be easier."

"It should be. I think the lack of sleep of the past two days just caught up with them." Said Karen.

Brooke and Lucas were out for the night; they woke up the next morning to Brooke's phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Brooke it's Peyton did I wake you?"

"Yeah but that's okay what time is it?"

"10. I was just calling to tell you that we're almost there." Said Peyton.

"Where are you guys?" Asked Brooke.

"Near Sandy Creek which is about 20 minutes away." Said Peyton.

"Okay, um give me about an hour and we'll meet you at your place."

"Take your time." Said Peyton.

"Okay see you then." Said Brooke.

"Luke, you gotta get up Peyton and Jake are about 20 minutes away." Said Brooke as she realized she was still wearing the clothes she was wearing the day before.

"I'm up what time is it?"

"Around 10, we've been asleep since last night." Said Brooke.

"Okay, let's get up." Said Lucas.

Brooke and Lucas got up and showered separately then went to the kitchen and saw that Karen made them plates from dinner the night before and she left a note on the fridge. That said,

Morning Sleepyheads,

You looked so peaceful last night I didn't have the heart to wake you for dinner so there are plates in the fridge for you both. Keith had to go on a tow job and I went to the café. Have fun and be careful today.

Love,

Mom

"You want to heat up the plates and then we can get going after we eat?" Asked Lucas.

"Yeah, you want coffee?" Asked Brooke.

"Nah, just juice." Said Lucas as he swallowed his pill for the morning.

Brooke and Lucas ate their dinner/breakfast and got in Lucas' car and drove over to Peyton's to welcome home the last of their family.
