The next morning Haley woke up feeling more tired then usual. She looked around the room and saw all her friends sleeping either on the floor or the sofa. Then she rememberd that they had a plan to catch so she looked at the clock radio to see what time it was and when she saw that it was 7.18 she immedeately started to panic.

"Everyone get up! Now!" she said and jumped out of bed but the others didn't move. "Come on guys, we're going to be late! We have to be in the airport in like 30 minutes!"

"Five more minutes..." Brooke mumbled.

"No! Not five more minutes. Now!"

"Geez Hales! Where's the fire?" Nathan asked.

"It is now 7.20 in the morning!"

"So?" Nathan asked confused.

"We're going home remember? The plane leaves at 8 o'clock sharp and we're not even dressed yet and unless you want to pay a couple of hundred dollars to take a later flight when we can take a free one right now, then I suggest you get your butt out of that bed right now and get ready!"

"I'm up!"

"I think that even the dead are up now..." Peyton said.

"Very funny" Haley said. "Come on guys we're gonna miss our flight if you don't go and get ready now!"

"We got time Hales, calm down..." Lucas said.

"Time is the one thing that we don't have. Could you please just go? Now before I get a panic attack."

"Too late" Brooke said annoyed that she had been woken up so rudely.

"Cute. Look, if you want to look like a train wreck on the plane ride home then that's your problem but I won't so just go and pack and meet us down at the lobby at 7.40 okay?"

"That's in 20 minutes!"

"15 if you keep whining:"

"Fine. We'll leave."

"Thank you."

"See you guys down there" Jake said and took Jenny in his arms and walked out of the room with the others.

"Yeah..." was all Haley said. "We are so screwed..."

"Okay we're here! Brooke said when they all met in the lobby.

"Your late" Haley said.

"No we're not."

"It's 7.41."

"Oh my God, we were late with a whole minute!"Brooke said sarcastically.

"Not the point Brooke!"

"Can we just go now please?"

"Fine, let's go."

The gang arrived at the airport 15 minutes later and they all jumped out of the taxi and ran to the gate as fast as they could. Just as they were about to close the gate the gang stopped them, handed over their tickets and went inside the plane.

"I can't believe we actually made it" Haley told Nathan.

"Believe it" was all he said while trying to catch his breath.

The six friends now sat on their seates and just tried to calm down when a stewardess walked up to them.

"Can I get any of you something?" she asked.

"Water" Lucas said.

"Lots of it" Peyton added.

"Coming right up." the stewardess said and walked away.

"God I'm tired." Haley said.

"Who isn't?" Jake said.

"Poor Jakey. You had to run very fast and holding Jenny at the same time." Brooke said.

"It was a bit of a challenge." Jake said. "And Brooke? Don't call me Jakey."

"Can I have your attention please? This is the pilot speaking and I just want to inform you that we've got a small problem with one of the engines so we are going to leave a little later then planned. We should be on our way to Tree hill airport in 30 minutes to an hour. We're sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you."

"He is got to be kidding." the gang said at the same time.

40 minutes later the plane was up in the air and the gang were eating breakfast.

"I usually hate the food that you get on a plane, but this isn't half bad." Jake said.

"I told you." Peyton said and gave him a kiss.

"I still can't believe that we had to leave 40 minutes later after I...we...stressed so much this morning" Brooke said.

"It happens." Lucas said.

"Still, I think they could at least pay for the trip or something."

"The trip is already free."

"Well, then they should do something else."

"Their taking us home, that's good enough for me..."

A few hours later they were in Tree Hill and they decided to meet up later somewhere but they were all just to tired to do something right now so they all went back to their place...

Jeyton:

"We're home!" Peyton said when they got to Peytons house.

"Yeah. It hasn't changed a bit." Jake said.

"Yes it has. Your here." Peyton said and pulled Jake in for a kiss.

Brucas:

"Mom! Are you here?" Lucas yelled but got no answer. "Guess not..."

"Good. We get to be alone for a while." Brooke said.

"So what do you wanna do now?"

"One word: Bed!"

Naley:

"Finally we're home!" Haley said happily.

"Did you miss it that much?"

"After this morning could you blame me?"

"Good point. Well then, Mrs Scott, welcome home!"

"Thank you." Haley said and gave Nathan a kiss on the cheek. "Home sweet home..." she said to herself.
