It was the morning after and Haley and Nathan was now standing outside the airport waiting for their friends to arrive.

"It's 7.02, Haley said. They're late."

"Calm down," Nathan said. "So they're a little late, as opposed to us who were here 20 minutes earlier than we agreed on. That you agreed on."

"I like to be early, so what?"

"What I'm trying to say is that no one will know if we're a little late."

"I will know!"

"They'll be here soon. Look there they are!" Nathan said when he spotted Lucas, Brooke and Peyton jumping out of a cab and started to run towards him and Haley.

"Hi guys!" Brooke greeted them.

"You're late," Haley said annoyed.

"Sorry about that Tutor Wife, but we had a little incident before we got here."

"What kind of an incident?"

"It doesn't matter. All that matters is that we are here now."

"Fine. Let's just go inside."

45 minutes later the gang had checked in their luggage, gotten some coffee and were now sitting in the plane waiting for takeoff.

"So what is the first thing you're going to do when you get to Vegas?" Brooke asked the others.

"I'm just gonna check in and see what happens from there," Peyton said.

"That's so boring! I'm going shopping and you are coming with me."

"Great," Peyton muttered sarcastically.

"How about you, Broody?"

"I don't know. Maybe there's a game I can watch or something," Lucas said.

"Nuh uh, think again. You're coming with Peyton and me."

"Brooke, I really don't want to go shopping so please don't ask me."

"I'm not asking, I'm telling. Nate, what are you going to do?"

"I'm coming with you…?"

"Got that right! Haley?"

"The first thing I'm going to do when I get off this plane is getting a drink. A big one!"

"A drink?" Nathan asked amused.

"What? I had forgotten that I hate flying and I'm sure that after we have landed I'm going to need one," Haley told the others.

"You know, I am totally for drinking alcohol and all but you are going to have to do that after we have shopped."

"I'm not going shopping, Brooke."

"Yes, you are and that's final."

"I'm a big girl, Brooke. You can't make me. You just can't."

"I can and I am."

"You might as well give up Haley," Peyton said. "When Brooke has gotten something in her head, it is nearly impossible of getting it out."

"Fine…But I am not happy about this!"

"As long as you at least pretend you're having fun, I won't care," Brooke said.

"Why do you hate flying anyway?" Nathan asked Haley.

"I don't know, I just do. It's like when you're up there, the only thing you can think about on the rest of the trip is if you are ever going to come back to earth again. Alive."

Nathan laughed at his wife's antics. "It's not that bad."

"Haley think it is," Lucas said. "I remember when we were kids and whenever she had to visit her grandparents with her family, they always had to go by airplane to get there and I always used to scare her by saying that the plane was going to crash or that the plane was somehow going to get stuck in space. She was so scared."

"I remember that," Haley said, far from amused. "It would take at least an hour to even get me in the car after I had talked to Lucas."

"Good old times", Lucas said and smiling at the memory.

"It wasn't funny."

"To me it was."

"Whatever…"

"Please take your seats and put you seatbelts on, we are leaving to Las Vegas in just a few minutes," they heard the stewardess say from the speakers.

"Are you ready honey?" Nathan asked.

"Would it be okay if I said no?"

"Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine."

"You promise?"

"Yeah, I promise."

"Good, because I'm going to hold you to that."

"You do that."

Haley and the rest of them felt the plane starting moving a bit.

"Nathan…"

"Just think happy thoughts," Nathan soothed.

"Easy for you to say…"

"We are ready for takeoff," the stewardess said. "We hope you enjoy your flight and please come back soon."

"Just so you know. If we crash, I am going to kill you," Haley said.

"Yes honey," was all Nathan said.

The plane was going faster and faster and was soon up in the air

"Las Vegas, here we come!" Brooke yelled.

So that was the new chapter, sorry that it was so short. Thanks to everyone who has read and reviewed and please keep it up!
