Lucas and Peyton were at Karen's Cafe. Karen was short staffed and had to leave early so she asked Lucas and Peyton to run it while she was away. Deb had been at home the past few weeks taking care of the recovering monster, they all know as Dan.

"I run cash and you can take orders," Peyton was leaning on the front counter.

"Uhh since when were you in charge?"

"Umm since I said so, you got a problem with that spud?"

"Yes if you call me spud one more time," he gave her a phased out grin.

"But spud suits you, spud."

Peyton looked at him with googly eyes.

Lucas laughed then went over to the end of the room taking the orders from the two people that had just come in.

"So you want a BLT on rye with an iced tea, and you want a strawberry cheesecake with just a glass of water?" He waited for the customers reply, "Okay good umm your orders will be done in about 5 minutes, sit tight and mellow out to the music."

Lucas walked over to the counter, "You heard that spud junior we need these orders in 5 minutes."

"Uhh don't look at me, I have to keep watch of the cafe."

"So you're basically going to sit there and watch while I do all the work."

"Yeah pretty much," she sported a huge smile.

"What am I ever going to do with you?" Lucas chuckled as he shook his head.

"Tell you what, you can make the sandwich while I grab the slice of cheesecake and bring us back a slice too."

"I like the sound of that."

"I knew you would," the phone rang, "I'll get it, Umm hello Karen's Cafe?"

"Peyton?"

"Hey best friend, what's up?"

"Umm what are you doing at Karen's?"

"Oh I'm helping Lucas run the cafe because Karen had to step out for a bit, you want to come and help us? We could use the extra help, for a ball player Lucas is pretty slow," Peyton giggled.

Lucas hearing her from the kitchen, "Hey I heard that."

"Uhh no it's okay. I was just bored but not bored enough to work so I'll pass. Where's model girl and boy toy?"

"Umm I think they're painting her house today."

"Hmm interesting, they're renovating together."

"Brooke you're weird."

"Yeah I know but what fun would I be if I wasn't."

"That's true."

"Well okay so I'm going to let you go. I'll just call up Bevin to come with me to the mall."

"All right Brooke, I'll call you later," both girls said their byes and hung up the phones.

Lucas walked out of the kitchen, plates in both arms, "Who was that?"

Peyton followed him to the customers as she held their drinks, "Brooke."

"Oh."

"Yeah, umm do you think we should tell her what happened back..."?

Lucas shook his head," Not now, maybe it's best if we just keep it to ourselves you know, for now."

Peyton nodded, "Yeah, you're right."
