Chapter 9

Maria watched the two blonde couple walk in and sit down at table, she noticed the guy take his jacket off and putting it on a seat, this gave her an idea.
"Sarah?"
"Yeah"
"Wanna play a dare game" asked Marie mischievously. Sarah's eyes lit up, she was into games.
"Sure what you want me to do" asked Sarah.
"Go and get that man's jacket" said Maria pointing at Lucas. Sarah looked at him closely and nodded; she went down on her hands and feet and crawled to Lucas and Peyton's table. Sarah reached the table and slowly pulled the jacket down, she could hear their conversation.
"Wait here and ill order" said Lucas to Peyton. Peyton nodded and hear slowly moved from Lucas to his jacket; she saw the jacket slip and a little body forming in it.
"Err Lucas, since when did you jacket have little legs sprouting outta of it" asked Peyton trying hard not to laugh as she heard a little giggle come from the jacket.
"huh what" said Lucas all confused, he turned around to see the little legs run with his jacket flying either side to a girl with red hair. Peyton laughed harder, as her and Lucas walked up to the two little girls, Lucas watches the girl take of his jacket, she was dressed in a basket ball jersey with her brown hair falling to her shoulders, but the only thing that caught Lucas's attention was her blue eyes.
"Hey there pretty girl can I have my jacket back" asked Lucas smiling. Sarah giggled more and passed him the jacket back.
"So what are you names then" asked Peyton
"We can't tell you coz you are strangers" said Maria.
'oh but you can play games on stranger though" smiled Peyton. The two girls nodded. "Ok then, I dares you guys to tell me your names" the girls smiled at Lucas and Peyton.
"My name is Maria and hers is Sarah" said Maria
"Aww such pretty names" said Peyton. Lucas was still staring at Sarah, why did she look so familiar to him and where has he seen her smile before. Nathan comes back with the ice creams in his hands.
"Here is your ice… Lucas Peyton what are you doing here" said Nathan shocked as he saw them with the girls.
"I could ask you the same, I thought you were at the gym all day" said Lucas suspiciously.
"I was then I um had to um do ur babysitting for a friend" said Nathan.
"And do we know these friends" asked Peyton joining in the conversation.
"No, they are friend of a friend of a friend, you don't know them" said Nathan quickly.
"Ok, well these girls are so adorable" cooed Peyton turning back to the girls.
"Yeah" said Lucas agreeing but Sarah looked so familiar to him he just didn't know who she reminded him off. Nathan was scared, he didn't know how to get rid of them, and he looked up to see Jake coming back from the toilets. Nathan started flapping his arms up and down trying to catch jakes attention, when Jake saw what Nathan was doing, Nathan started to point at Lucas and Peyton. Jake's eyes went big when he recognized Peyton's golden locks; he rushed back into the bathroom. Lucas looked up at Nathan and watched Nathan do weird flapping movements with his arms
"Err what are you doing" asked Lucas
"Huh what… erm I was erm excising you know trying to keep fit" said Nathan down a body builder pose.
"Ok your weird today" said Lucas looking in to Nathan's eyes. "You're lying about something; ok both you and Haley are hiding something"
"What no your just paranoid Lucas" said Nathan.

Haley walked in to the little boutique where Brooke works; she wanted to go and see how she was doing and ask if she knew what time Nathan was going to come back. Haley looked around to find Brooke behind the cash counter looking in a catalogue.
"Hey tigger how are you" smiled Haley walking up to Brooke
"Tutor wife, I'm good but what are you doing here" said Brooke. "And where are Lucas and Peyton."
"Don't worry they've gone to get something to eat" explained Haley. "So I thought I would pop down to see you and no they won't come to look for me"
"Oh good" sighed Brooke. Mandy came out from the storage room holding a clipboard in her hand.
"Hey Brooke we need to order some more… Haley!" said Mandy rushing up to give her a hug. "Long time no see then"
"Yeah but I have visitors with us so we have to show them around" said Haley
"Yeah I heard the 'father' is in town" said Mandy rolling her eyes. "Poor Brooke's been worried all day; she thinks Lucas might have Sarah"
"Hey the 'father' is my brother in law and im keeping him away as much as I can" said Haley
"You guys seriously have twisted lives all this hiding and secrets" said Mandy. "I would have burst by now"
"Ok can we please not talk about bursting" said Brooke. 'I don't want any bursting happening in the week"
"Sure honey" said Mandy
"Ok Brooke, Mandy I gotta go so ill see you guys soon I hope, bye" said Haley leaving them, but she turned around again. "Oh yeah Brooke, when will Nathan be home?"
"Well I told Jake to come back when my work finishes so ill send Nathan back ok" said Brooke
"Ok thanks bye" said Haley leaving

Lucas gave Nathan another weird look and turned his attention back to the little girls who were still talking to Peyton. There was something familiar about the two girls, especially Sarah but Lucas jus couldn't figure it out what was it.
"So pretty girl how old are you" asked Lucas to Sarah
"Im 6 and my mommy calls me pretty girl too" said Sarah
"Oh really and what is your mommy's name" asked Lucas
"Her name is br-" began Sarah
"Her name is Brenda" said Nathan quickly; Lucas and Sarah looked up at him.
"What no Uncle Nate you got it wrong" said Sarah. "That's not mommy's name"
"Uncle nate?"said Lucas raising his eyebrows
"Yes sweetie it is, your mommy just lied to you she is crazy" said Nathan.
"Oh then we should put mommy in the naughty corner" said Sarah
"Yup that's what we will do when we get home" said Nathan.
"Okay, moving so what are your parents called" asked Lucas to Maria.
"I don't have a mommy but my daddy is called-" began Maria but was cut off by Nathan again.
"His name is jack" said Nathan quickly.
"Dude will you let these poor girls finish a sentence" said Lucas.
"Well you know kids they lie at every little thing" said Nathan. "For all we know they would say there dad is Michael Jordan"
"Ok now seriously you freaking me out" said Lucas. "Are you on drugs again?"
"What no… ok listen girl's finish your ice cream then ill get you a milkshake" said Nathan clapping his hands together.
"yay"said the girls. Haley walks into McDonalds and her eyes catches the group of people at the far end and her eyes lands on her husband Nathan. She suddenly relies Lucas and Peyton must be there to so she rushes over to them.
"Hey guys" said Haley
"Haley thank god you're here Nathan is acting weird again" said Lucas.
"Well you know Nathan always was the weird one" said Haley, she smiles at the girls. "Hey girls" the girls muffle their hellos back from mouthful of ice cream.
"Ok you know im standing here too" defended Nathan
"And I think no one cares" laughed Peyton. Nathan gave Haley a pleading look.
"Ok guys come let's get outta here" instructed Haley. "And you take the girls back to their parents"
"What I thought we came to eat here" said Peyton.
"Yeah but we can eat even better food at the hotel" said Haley convincingly, Lucas and Peyton agreed. "Ok good and now nate take the girls back"
"Oh don't worry I will" said Nathan glad that they were leaving.
"Ok bye girls it was nice meeting you" said Peyton.
"Yeah same here" said Lucas.
"Yeah yeah ok now get out" said Nathan. Lucas and Peyton just stared at him. "Please"
"You know what I don't trust Nate with kids so ill come with him" said Lucas
"No!" said both Haley and Nathan.
"No ill be fine you guys go ahead and ill catch up with you later" said Nathan quickly.
Lucas was about to answer but Haley grabbed his and Peyton's arms and dragged them out; Nathan sighed and sat down with girls. Jake watched them leave and came back to the table.
"God I thought they would never leave" said Jake
"I know, thank god hales came here in time other wise I wouldn't have gotten rid of them" said Nathan.
"You know what lets leave, Brookes gonna came back too and plus it would be safe" said Jake.
"Yeah ok, erm you go to the car with the girls and ill get the food to go" said Nathan. Jake got the girls in the car and waited until Nathan came back. They all drove back home in shock that they were this close for Lucas to fins out everything.

"How could you guys be so careless" shouted broke. Nathan and Jake told her what happened at McDonalds and she was furious.
"What could we do, we didn't know they were gonna be there" said Nathan. "We aint psychic you know"
"Don't you start with me Scott" said Brooke angrily
"Ok Brooke calm down everything is ok now" assured Jake.
"I swear to go if everything went wrong I would have dogs feasting on your danglers right now" threatened Brooke. Nathan eyes went big in shock. "And Brenda, what kind of name was that, we're you like picturing some kind of dweeby book worm when you thought of that name"
"Ok im gonna go now" he said looking scared.
"Yeah bye mate thanks for helping" said Jake.
"No problem, and believe me im never ever gonna help you again" said Nathan leaving.
"Ok Brooke girls must be tired, could you please put them to bed" said Jake. "And don't worry Lucas doesn't know anything so you can relax now"
"Fine" huffed Brooke and she walked upstairs, leaving Jake in the living room. He looked up at portrait he brought for Brooke and stared at Rachel's smiling face.
"Aren't you glad your not here with psycho Brooke?" smiled Jake.
