: Lucas's Bedroom :

Clothes are thrown across the bedroom. Lucas and Kate are in bed.

Lucas wakes up next to Kate, his arm over her.

Lucas: "Good morning." He leans down and kisses her lips.

Kate: "Good morning to you too"

Lucas stretches out, waking himself up properly. Removing the covers from his body, he stands up half naked, with only boxers on. He walks out of the room and into the bathroom. Kate pushes the covers from her body and sighs. She is wearing underwear.

Kate: "You know it's such a shame you have to go out for a run and I have to go home and get some fresh clothes on"

Kate grabs her jeans from the floor and puts them on. Lucas's head appears from behind the wall.

Lucas: "Oh yeah, how come?"

Kate smirks, grabbing her tank top.

Kate: "Well I was just thinking that maybe you'd get a bit luckier than you did last night."

Lucas tilts his head at her and smiles. Kate raises her eyebrows. Lucas slowly walks out from behind the wall, sweat pants on.

Lucas: "Well I don't have to go just yet."

Lucas walks up to Kate and grabs her by the waist, pulling her down onto the bed, on top of him. He laughs, leaning up and kissing her. There's a knock at the door.

Kate: "Oo saved by the knock."

Kate rolls to the side and sits up on the bed, putting on her tank top. Lucas stands up and walks over to his door, opening it to reveal Nathan.

Nathan: "Hey man, you ready?" Nathan looks Lucas up and down. "Guess not."

Lucas pulls the door open, turning around to be confronted by Kate. She leans up and kisses him once on the lips.

Kate: "Later." She walks past Nathan and winks. "Nate."

Nathan turns around to look at Lucas, raising an eyebrow.

Lucas: "What?"

Nathan: "Hurry up."

: The Streets :

Nathan and Lucas are running next to one another. They run through the centre of town, past Karen's Café and stop once they are at the park. Nathan stretches his arms, while Lucas stretches his legs.

Nathan: "So what's up with you and Kate?"

Lucas: "What do ya mean?"

Nathan: "I mean she's my best friend, compendia. I don't want her getting hurt."

Lucas: "She's great. I mean with Peyton it was an emotional connection and with Brooke it was fun, but with Kate it's completely different. Good different." Lucas smirks to himself before stretching his arms. "How's it going with you?"

Nathan: "Good, man. I mean Haley and I are solid and I'm loving every second of it." They look at one another. "This is weird right, the two of us talking about this"

Lucas nods. "A little." They both smirk. "Let's head back"

: School Gymnasium :

The team is practising basketball. The cheerleaders are practising their cheers. Brooke is smiling and walks up to Peyton.

Brooke: "Hey Funny Bunny"

Peyton: "Did you sleep with a hanger in your mouth?"

Brooke laughs and looks around, leaning in and whispering to Peyton.

Brooke: "I always knew a guy in uniform was the way to go."

Peyton: "You didn't."

Brooke: "Oh yes we did, twice" She smirks

Peyton: "Brooke you could get into a lot of trouble if the wrong person found out."

Brooke: "I know that's the fun part, besides he's not that much older. His name is Alex, he's 23, oh so cute as I'm sure you remember. He likes to play football on weekends with his friends in their hometown, 20 minutes away from here and he asked me to go with him next Saturday."

Peyton: "And your not worried about this?"

Brooke: "Come on Peyton, if anyone gets curious I have my brilliant and most trusted ally." She pauses. "My fake ID"

The team is shooting hoops in the gym as Jake walks back into practise. The guys stop playing basketball and the cheerleaders go quiet.

Brooke: "You didn't tell me Jake was coming back, scandalous"

Peyton looks over to Jake, who in turns looks to her. He nods and smiles. Peyton smiles and turns back to Brooke who slowly walks over to the group of guys who have huddled in the middle of the court.

Peyton: "I didn't know."

Peyton slowly walks over to the group of them. Lucas shakes hands with Jake as Jake nods to the rest of the team.

Lucas: "Jake, man, you back for good?"

Jake: "Yeah. My parents were missing me and Jenny, so my cousin droves us back last night."

Brooke: "What about the skank that is Nikki?"

Peyton looks over to Lucas, who seems slightly uncomfortable. He looks over at Peyton, with a face more on the line of guilt.

Jake: "My mom got a letter three weeks ago from her. She's doing fine and just wants occasional visitation rights at holidays, which I think is fair since she is her mother and besides it means I get to keep Jenny."

Coach Durham approaches the team all gathered in a huddle.

Coach: "I'm sorry to disturb this little mother's meeting you ladies seem to have on here, but would it be too much to suggest we play some basketball."

Nathan: "Sorry coach"

Coach: "Jagielski welcome back, now get your ass on defence where it belongs."

The girls head back over to the sidelines, practising their cheers as the guys run drills. Throughout practise, Jake and Peyton exchange eye contact.

: Lunch :

Kate and Haley are sitting down at a table. Nathan walks up behind Haley and kisses her on the cheek before sitting down next to her. Lucas sits down next to Kate and they exchange smiles as Jake sits down next to Lucas.

Kate: "Newbie?"

Jake: "Oldie, actually and kinda hurt that you don't remember me"

Kate: "Oh of course I do." She smirks. "October 3rd, 1992, just after a little league game, I believe I kissed a boy named Jake because of dare."

Jake: "A dare? Please, you had been stalking me for like two months."

Brooke and Peyton walk up behind them.

Brooke: "Hey guys, mind if we sit?"

Peyton goes to sit next to Nathan, so she's not next to Jake when Brooke body bumps her, not only stealing her sit but also nudging her into Jake.

Brooke: "Oops my bad."

Peyton: "Yeah well, big hips cause accidents."

Peyton sits down as Brooke playfully nudges her. Brooke looks around the table, she notices paired couples.

Brooke: "So what's the topic of convo?"

Lucas: "Actually we were just hearing about Kate and Jake's love fest in '92."

Kate: "Love fest, please he was pining for me not the other way around."

Jake: "Hey I was not pining, you were practically one of the guys back then."

Peyton: "Oh I remember that summer, didn't you do that on a dare?"

Peyton and Kate laugh as Jake looks around to Lucas who shrugs his shoulders and smirks.

Brooke: "So we gonna party it up tonight?"

Haley: "Party it up?"

Brooke: "Yeah you know, Jake's back I thought we could have a mini celebration."

Haley: "That's actually a really good idea."

Brooke: "Don't so too surprised, tutor girl." Brooke winks.

Nathan: "We can have it at my dad's beach house"

Jake: "Guys that's really nice of you-"

Brooke: "Isn't that like trespassing?"

Nathan: "Not since I moved back home."

Brooke: "Oh right, sorry. My bad"

Jake: "That sounds good, my parents can look after Jenny"

Peyton: "Let me guess, missed you so much they are bending over backwards to keep the two of you in?"

Jake: "Exactly."

Nathan: "Okay, tonight. Be there at 7, invite the rest of the team and bring some keg."

: The Scott's Beach House :

It's 10pm and loads of people are in the Scott's beach house, partying it up. Everyone is practically drunk and playing loads of games. Nathan and Tim are on the x-box playing NBA live. Brooke is chatting away to a few girls. Kate and Haley are chatting at the table. Peyton is outside, sitting on the veranda. Lucas walks out and sits next to her.

Peyton: "Hey."

Lucas: "Hey. Aren't you cold out here?"

Peyton: "No, it's nice."

Lucas: "How's everything in Peyton land?"

Peyton turns her head and looks at him, closing one of her eyes squinting. The wind is blowing against her face and her hair is flying back.

Peyton: "Confusing..so normal." She jokes and stands up walking over to the railing, leaning against it.

Lucas stands up and walks over beside her, burying his hands deep inside his pockets. He leans against the railing with his back, looking at Peyton.

Lucas: "Wanna talk about it?"

Peyton: "With you?"

Lucas: "No, with the easter bunny" He pauses. "Of course with me. Peyton in the past, through our ups and downs, we've always been able to talk and I don't want that to change."

Peyton turns and faces him, smiling.

Peyton: "Fine.."

Inside, Haley and Kate are arm wrestling on the table. Neither of them are winning so they give it a break.

Haley: "Draw?"

Kate: "Draw."

The two of them laugh as Haley reaches for her cup of beer.

Haley: "You not drinking tonight?"

Kate: "As I'm in a new town, I'm trying a new thing.."

Haley: "Sobriety?"

Kate: "Exactly. Although, by the end of this evening no doubt I'll be a goner, I'm so easy...not that like that" She bursts out laughing.

Haley: "You know I'm really glad we're friends and I'm not just saying this because I have a few beers inside me, I'm being completely genuine. I mean when I first found out about you and Nathan, the clogs in my head started turning and producing questions which then produce doubts about me and about Nathan, but then you turned out to be really cool and sweet and funny"

Kate: "Haley, are you hitting on me?"

Haley smirks "Maybe, no, I just wanna say thanks"

Kate: "For what?"

Haley: "I guess for being you... I've had too much to drink, I think I'm gonna go."

Haley stands up and walks over to Nathan. Kate stands up watching her go, with a smile on her face. She turns around and looks outside, seeing Lucas and Peyton together. She watches as Peyton gives Lucas a kiss. The smile disappears from her face as she walks over to the keg.

Lucas looks at Peyton.

Lucas: "What was that for?"

Peyton: "For being a friend and giving me some advice."

Lucas: "Well, just use it."

Jake walks out onto the balcony and looks at Lucas and Peyton.

Jake: "Hey guys."

Lucas: "I was just leaving."

Lucas walks inside the beach house. Jake sits down on the bench, looking at Peyton. Peyton smiles and walks over to Jake, sitting down next to him.

Peyton: "So you didn't tell me you were coming back"

Jake: "Yeah, I know it was sudden, spur of the moment thing."

Peyton: "Listen Jake, I need to talk to you."

Jake: "Okay"

Peyton: "I was just talking to Lucas, who told me just to go for what I want and that I shouldn't think so much about the consequences of my actions and just let it flow so.."

Peyton leans in and kisses Jake on the lips. Jake a little surprised and taken back, pulls back. Peyton looks slightly hurt and is about to get up when Jake leans in and kisses Peyton, putting is arms around her waist bringing her closer to him.

Haley is sitting down watching Kate, Nathan, Brooke and Tim play a game of strip poker. The rest of the party has died down slightly, people on their way out and others standing around watching the poker match. Nathan is down to his trousers, Tim down to his boxers, Brooke is still wearing most of her clothing while Kate is in her skirt and bra.

Nathan: "Come on Haley, bail me out"

Haley laughs and throws an ice cube at Nathan chest.

Haley: "You got yourself into this mess, you get yourself out"

Nathan: "Well at least join us." He winks at her

Haley: "I'm not drunk enough"

Brooke puts her hand.

Brooke: "Full house...Ooh I guess that's another piece of clothing from everyone."

Tim looks down at his boxers.

Tim: "Your cheating."

Brooke: "Please, I used to play this every weekend with my grandfather, he taught me everything I know, even how to hussle." She smirks. "Well I believe trousers are to come off Nathan, Kate's skirt and Tim well it looks like you'll be out and about in your birthday suit."

Tim: "Its only a game"

Haley: "Aww, what's the matter Tim, not living up to expectations."

Kate stands up, pulling down her skirt. Guys standing behind her whistle.

Brooke: "Ooh good night to wear matching underwear, by the way which I love"

A sober Lucas walks in. He looks at the cards on the table and then over to Brooke, Nathan, Tim and then over to Kate.

Lucas: "What's going on?"

Brooke: "Strip Poker, Oooh and looks like your girlfriend isn't winning" She motions over to Kate who is in her underwear

Lucas walks over and covers Kate with his jacket, picking her up.

Kate: "What the hell are you doing?"

Lucas: "Taking you home"

Brooke: "No fun"

Lucas walks out of the Beach House and carries her, over to his Keith's truck where she breaks free.

Kate: "What the hell do you think your doing?"

Lucas: "Your drunk"

Kate: "I may be drunk but at least I'm not indecisive"

Lucas looks at her.

Lucas: "What does that mean?"

Kate: "Nothing...I just want to have some fun."

Lucas walks up to her, picking up his jacket and giving it to her.

Lucas: "Then have some with me"

Kate puts the jacket on and tries to button it up, but it takes her a while. She sighs. Lucas walks closer to her and bends down slightly doing the buttons up.

Kate: "..How could I do that when you were busy kissing Peyton"

Lucas: "It was nothing!"

Kate: "No, nothing is when nothing happens. Something is when you start kissing another girl"

Lucas: "It wasn't like that"

Kate: "Whatever"

Kate turns and walks away. Lucas runs after her

Lucas: "I'm falling in love with you"

Kate turns around.

Kate: "I thought this wasn't on the track of fastness?"

Lucas: "I can't help it."

Kate: "Well try"

Kate turns around again and starts walking away from him. Lucas sighs and then runs over to her, standing in her way.

Lucas: "I need to know."

Kate: "Need to know what?"

Lucas: "I need to know if you feel the same way about me?"

Kate sighs, she looks up to Lucas and then looks down to the floor. Lucas pushes some of the hair from her face and puts his hand underneath her chin lifting her up.

Lucas: "Do you?"

Kate nods her head, yes. Lucas smirks, resting his hands on her face and kisses her. Kate moves her hands up his back, holding onto him. Kate pulls back.

Kate: "Let's head back to yours."

Lucas: "You sure?"

Kate: "Positive."

Lucas puts his arm around Kate and heads over to the truck, while Brooke, Tim, Nathan and Haley have their heads pressed up against the window, watching them.

Brooke: "Damn"

Nathan smirks.

Nathan: "No slap, no fight. I believe you owe me $50, Brooke."

Nathan high fives Haley and they laugh, kissing one another. Brooke looks across the room and out the other window, seeing Peyton and Jake loved up. Brooke looks hurt.

:Next On One Tree Hill :

Jake and Peyton are sitting in Jake's living room, watching tv. Jenny starts crying, Jake stands up and walks over to her, picking her up and cuddling her. Peyton stands up and walks over to the two of them.

Peyton: "Wow, who knew I'd be miss mature. Dating a guy who has a baby, you don't have a secret wife do you?"

Jake smirks and looks at Jenny placing her back down in her crib.

Jake: "No, no secret wife. Well at least not one that I'm gonna admit to."

Peyton hits him on the arm, as he grabs her round the waist and pulls her closer.

Brooke is sitting in a car, with Alex, the cop.

Brooke: "I cant come this weekend. Sorry."

Alex: "Aww but I wanted you to meet my friends."

Alex pulls up outside Karen's café and looks at Brooke.

Alex: "Let's get a coffee"

Brooke: "Here? Why?"

Alex gets out of the car and walks around to Brooke's side pulling the door open. Brooke is reluctant to get out of the car, but does so only to bump into Karen, Lucas's mom.

Nathan, Haley, Kate and Lucas are at the café.

Nathan: "Oh come on, greatest American football movie is Any Given Sunday"

Haley: "Oh please, Waterboy with Adam Sandler kicks ass. What do you two think?"

Lucas and Kate are kissing one another, not listening to either of them.

Haley: "I miss that."

Nathan: "What kissing Lucas?"

Haley: "No the early stage of a relationship"

Brooke and Peyton run up to Haley and Kate outside of the café.

Peyton: "Haley, where's Nathan?"

Haley: "He's inside, why?"

Brooke: "We kinda hit a problem coming back from the mall."

A group of boy racer cars drive by the foursome, a guy sticks his head out of the window.

Guy: "See you girls at 8"

Brooke: "We'll kick your ass!"

The guys drive off, Haley eyes are widen out of shock.

Haley: "You got into a fight?"

Brooke: "No, more like a race and we thought it was with cheerleading girls from Halesbridge. Only.."

Peyton: "Brooke's mouth is bigger than it should be, and we need a car to race at Hilton's turn otherwise.."

Haley: "Hilton's turn? None of the guys race there because it's too dangerous...wait, Otherwise what?"

Peyton: "Otherwise they take mine and Brooke's car."

Haley: "You can't tell Nathan or Lucas, they'll go ballistic besides they cant race there."

Brooke: "We're screwed."

Kate: "I'll race."

Haley: "What?"

Kate looks to the three of them and smirks.
