"Last night was NOT fun you guys" Brooke whined in the morning.
"It was fun" Peyton said. "Though Jake was probably pissed that I crashed here"
"Why would he be pissed? You can do your own thing, right?" Brooke asked.
"Yes but we were…uh" Peyton shrugged.
"OOOH I see" Brooke cackled.
"Brooke!" Peyton blushed.
"Peyton and Jake…doing a lot more than kissing in a tree…" Haley sang.
"You guys…" Peyton buried her face into the pillow.
"Ice cream, anyone?" Brooke asked.
"Gym, anyone?" Haley asked.
"Shut up, I'm in mourning!" Brooke defended. "I'll go run off this ice-cream weight tomorrow"
"Mhmm…"
"Haley you're supposed to empathize and sympathize, not tell me to loose weight" Brooke whined.
"I'm just giving it a realistic spin honey" Haley laughed. "I'm sorry though…be in un-mourning"
"Why are we in mourning?" Nathan asked, meandering in.
"Nathan why do you always just walk in?" Brooke demanded.
"Because…Haley lives here?"
"I know, but what if Haley's getting hot and steamy with one of her other pimps?" Brooke asked.
"Well then I'd have to kick their asses" Nathan laughed, kissing Haley.
"Peyton, Jake was looking for you this morning" Nathan laughed. "The matter seemed urgent"
At this, Brooke and Haley lost all control and burst out laughing. Confusion spread across Nathan's face as he watched Brooke and Haley double over, tears running down their faces.
"SHUT UP! You guys…" Peyton groaned, burying her face in the pillow.
"What…?" Nathan asked.
"Peyton…Jake…last night…sex" Brooke gasped through her laughter.
"Oh…" Nathan laughed, finally getting it. "Does poor Peyton get harassed like this often?"
"No, it's usually me" Haley giggled. "But we decided to gang up on Peyton this time"
"Thanks you guys" Peyton sighed, burying her face in the pillow once again.
"Mortification complete" Brooke giggled, regaining control of herself and taking another bit of her ice cream.
"Ever since Brooke got back from California all she's done is eat ice-cream" Peyton laughed. "In mourning of Lucas"
"Oh shush" Brooke pouted.
"Oh yeah Lucas is coming over soon too" Nathan said.
"WHAT? You just INVITED him?" Brooke freaked. "I'm jumping in the shower!"
"Of course she is" Peyton said. "I don't even care what I look like"
"Yeah neither do I" Haley laughed.
"Hello, hello!" Lucas meandered in 20 minutes later. He looked around and asked "Where's Brooke?"
"Your love is in the shower" Peyton said.
"I'm out of the shower" Brooke laughed, coming into the living room. Lucas drew in a breath at the sight of her. She was just wearing a sweater and jeans but her hair fell in damp curls around her face and her eyes were sparkling with laughter.
"Hey Brooke" Lucas said, giving her a timid hug.
"Hi" Brooke smiled, walking over to the fridge and pulling out water. "Anyone want anything to drink?"
"No actually we're going out" Haley said. "We wanted to go to the park"
"Yes, because we're 5 and we love parks?" Brooke giggled.
"Hey don't insult parks, I love them" Peyton said. "Anyway, you guys go ahead and I'm going to go home and shower and then Jake and I will meet you there"
"Yeah, don't think that's gonna happen" Brooke laughed. "Jake and you have other things to do"
"One day, Brooke Penelope Davis, I will find something embarrassing against you and torture you"
"That will be the day my dear…" Brooke giggled. "Ok! Everyone! Park lets go!"
"So I hope you don't mind that I'm walking you home" Lucas said to Brooke.
"No I like it actually" Brooke laughed. "Did you have fun at the park?"
"As much fun as an 18 year old can have at a park designed for 5 year olds" Lucas laughed.
"Oh come on, Lucas, don't be so mature…be crazy sometimes" Brooke giggled.
"Like you?" Lucas said.
"Like me" Brooke giggled, looking up at him. This was by far the most romantic thing they had done so far, without it even meaning to be. The moon was shining in the background, sharpening his face and illuminating her eyes. "Ok…well this is me" Brooke said, pointing to her apartment.
"Ok…I had fun tonight" Lucas said, hugging her. Brooke almost let her body sink into his embrace before realizing that they weren't dating so she couldn't do that.
"Yeah, me too"
"Hey…I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner tomorrow night"
"Sure I'll let Haley and Nathan know about it"
"No…I meant just the two of us"
