Flashback before Dessert
Dave smiles as he shakes Rachel's hand. "It's nice to meet you." They both smile and Dave looks around. "So, how do you guys know Rachel and Chris?" The group laughs and Dave looks around confused. "Great, not another Tree Hill High group that I can be left out of! That's it, we need to start hanging out with our old college friends." Brooke nods and gives him a kiss. He sighs, "Well, ok, so you all know each other from when you were young. But, ok, let's narrow it down. What are some of your favorite memories together?"
They all looked around at each other and frowned. Luke smiled, "Well, one of my favorite memories is when Brooke and Rachel got into a fight during Midnight Madness senior year."
Peyton looked at Luke, "Yea, and you and Nathan got in a fight too!"
Brooke frowned, "Next memory..."
Haley glared at Rachel, "How about when you were hitting on Nathan, after we had just gotten re-married and after you had wreaked havoc after our wedding."
Rachel winced, "Yea, sorry about that."
Peyton cleared her throat, "Or the time when Rachel slept with Coop, or when she got naked in the back of Luke's car after a game."
Rachel winced again, "Ok, so I started high school off making a few enemies. But y'all like me now!" She looked around with a big grin on her face and everyone looked away. She glared, "Ha, ha..." Everyone laughed.
Dave frowned, "Wow, I know so much."
Brooke smiled, "Ok, how about the time we went camping during senior year?"
Rachel gave Brooke a nudge, "And you invited your new friend Jack."
Dave frowned, "Who's Jack?"
Brooke turned to her husband and smiled, "No one important. Next memory..."
Haley laughed, "Oh no. Brooke, you have to tell Dave about the camping trip."
Everyone else nodded and clapped and Brooke rolled her eyes. "Fine, but keep in mind that I was in high school and clueless..." Dave frowned and finally agreed to keep these details in mind. Brooke let out a sigh and began describing their story.
FLASHBACK TO SENIOR YEAR
Peyton got out of the car and looked around the camp site. Luke hopped out of the driver's seat and started unloading their stuff onto the site. Peyton took in a breath of fresh air and smiled. "I love the outdoors. They seem so peaceful..."
"BOO!!!" Peyton jumped and screamed as she saw Tim jump out from behind some trees. He instantly started laughing and Bevin and Skills walked out from behind some trees.
Luke frowned, "Real mature Tim."
"Oh come on! You gotta admit, the look on Peyton's face was priceless!"
Peyton was standing there with her hand on her chest, trying to catch her breath. "Oh yea Tim, real funny..."
Tim laughed as he walked over to his stuff and started setting up his tent. Bevin gave Skills a kiss on the cheek. Luke frowned, "I think you two were supposed to join in on scaring us."
Bevin frowned, "Well, I guess you could say we got a little...distracted while waiting for you guys to show up." Skills grinned and Peyton looked over at Luke and everyone started laughing.
The other cars pulled up not much later. Haley and Nate rode together in one car and Rachel, Brooke, and the girls' friends, Jake and Tanner in the other car. Everyone set up their tents before it got dark; Bevin, Skills and Tim in the first tent, Haley, Nathan, Lucas and Peyton in the other, and Rachel, Brooke, Jake and Tanner in the last tent. They all set their tents up around the camp fire. By the time everything was in place, the sun was just setting and it was time for dinner. Haley and Nathan brought extra food, because Haley was a few months pregnant and was eating for two. The guys fired up the camp fire and started getting out hot dogs, burgers, etc. The girls, all besides Haley, got started on the beer. Once the food was cooked everyone sat around the fire and ate and talked. Haley was wrapped in a blanket with Nathan. The other couples sat side by side as the night went on.
Bevin looked around and smiled. "Hey, let's play a game; anyone up for a game of "I never"?"
Brooke frowned, "We always play that game. How about we play truth or dare?" She shot a flirty look at Jack who was sitting next to her. He smiled as he took a swig of beer.
Bevin frowned, "But, that's not fun."
Peyton nodded, "Yea, that's basically like opening up Pandora's Box. Are you going to be the hope at the bottom Brooke?"
Brooke rolled her eyes, "Fine! I never almost died..." She looked around at her friends and raised an eyebrow. Luke, Nate, Peyton, Skills and Rachel took a swig of beer. Haley sipped her water.
Tim jumped up in the middle of the group, "I got one! I never posed for a magazine! Drink up girly!!" He tipped his beer at Rachel and she rolled her eyes and took a drink.
Brook nudged Jack, "Come on...what haven't you done?"
Jack smiled, but didn't answer. Haley frowned and then smiled. "I have one..."
Bevin rolled her eyes, "Hales, no offense, but you're pregnant. Can you really officially play?"
Haley frowned, "Ugh, so! I'm playing." She sits up and smiles, "I have never joined the Clean Teens club at school." Everyone laughed while Brooke and Rachel glared and sipped their drinks.
Jack laughed, "What!? You!? Are a clean teen?"
Brooke frowned and shook hair out of her eyes. She looked at him, "Yea...so?"
Jack shook his head and laughed. He glanced over at Tanner who was just shaking his head. Brooke frowned and looked at Rachel. Rachel just shrugged.
The game went on a little longer and the night slowly died down. Luke, Peyton, Haley and Nate had all gone into their tent already along with Bevin and Skills in their tent. Tim was sitting on a log looking at the sky trying to count the number of stars he could see. Brooke was sitting on a log with Jack, talking. Things were going well and she leaned in to kiss him, but he pulled away. She frowned, "What? Bad breath?"
Jack shook his head. "No...It's not your breath."
"Then, what is it?"
"I just...I can't be seen with a "clean teen". Sorry, but it will kill my reputation. I think this camping trip was a bad idea. Sorry..." Brooke sat there with her jaw open and he kissed her on the cheek and walked away. Brooke sat there with the same expression on her face. She could not fathom what just happened.
Rachel walked over to her in a huff and crossed her arms, "So, they're gay."
Brooke shook her head, "No. It's because we're clean teens."
Rachel's eyes widened. "Are you serious!? I'm not getting some because of that stupid club!? Ugh, I hate you."
"What!? Why?"
"You're the one who was failing math!!"
"Oh, low blow. We would have been sucked into that club eventually."
"Ahem, speak for yourself. My sex life was great before we got caught."
Brooke spoke through her teeth, "Fine. It's all my fault that we're sleeping alone tonight."
Rachel sighed, "Good...at least you know you're to blame. I'm going to hit the hay early. If you're planning on coming in the tent...I'd wait 15 minutes. I have some serious...Brooking to do."
Brooke gasped and watched Rachel walk away. She rolled her eyes and covered her head with the blanket she was using...
FLASH FORWARD TO PRESENT DAY:
Everyone was laughing except for Brooke. "Well! I was a virgin throughout the rest of high school!"
Rachel frowned, "Oh hell, I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't." Everyone laughed some more.
David wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her cheek, "It's ok...you were denied by some high school boy."
"Yea, but that was when I was a high school girl!"
He winced a little, "Yea...that's actually pretty pathetic." She hit his arm playfully and everyone laughed again and he kissed her on the head.
