Lucas and Brooke walked down the street, hand in hand. In his other hand, Lucas carried a cup of chocolate ice cream. He dropped Brooke's hand for a moment to scoop some into him mouth, and then into hers.
"Yum." Brooke smiled and kissed him, leaving a chocolate smudge above his upper lip. She laughed, and reached up to wipe it off.
Lucas took the spoon and wiped ice cream onto her nose. "Hey!" she said.
"Payback." He smirked, "But I have a better way of getting if off." He leaned down and kissed her nose, removing the ice cream.
Brooke leaned into him, and he wrapped his arm around her. "So how does it feel to know that tonight is our last night as single people?"
Lucas shrugged, "You know, I think it feels pretty good."
"Do you?"
"Yeah. And you know what else?"
"What?"
"I wouldn't have made it this far without you."
"Lucas, of course you would have. You would have had Peyton. Or, possibly Rachel."
"Ha, very funny. Let me remind you that those were both your ideas. But really, we wouldn't have made it this far without you."
"It takes two to tango."
Lucas considered this for a minute, and then nodded. "True. I might be Peyton's Superman when she needs saving, but someday she won't anymore. But you…I will always be your one and only, because I'll always need someone to love."
