Peyton bursts through her and Brooke's apartment door, "Brooke Penelope Davis, when I left for my last final two hours ago you hadn't started packing yet, you better be close to done because our flight leaves in an hour."
"Do you really think it's a good idea to go back to Tree Hill with out letting anyone know we're coming," Brooke asked coming out of her bedroom folding a blouse.
"Well we did just find out yesterday that my dad had boat issues and was going to be home most of the summer. I mean we probably could have at least called Haley but who knows if she's even there she's probably on tour somewhere or running from Nathan," Peyton responded.
"Hey back off Tutorgirl, it hurts her to run from Nathan, just hurts her more to see him," Brooke said. "And she is home," she kind of laughs, "she bought my old house."
"How do you know," Peyton asks.
"Well she thought because it was my old house she would ask me before she bought it and then she mentioned staying for a while."
"Oh, well that wasn't really what I was asking I meant how do you know it hurts her to see Nathan, hell how does she know she's always hiding from him, if it weren't for Lucas, Nathan would never see Keith" Peyton said.
"Damn, Peyt-, you sound… you sound like Peyton Marie Sawyer, kind of how you were with Haley when she first came back from the first tour, you were so mad at her," Brooke said.
"Yeah, well I just don't understand how she could claim to love him so much and not forgive him," Peyton said, "I mean its not like she lost Keith. I could understand if she had but she didn't. I just don't understand how two people could love each other so much and not be together."
"Look who's talking P. Sawyer!"
"That's different," Peyton retorted.
"How so? You love him he claims to love you… blah blah blah," Brooke said in that oh so lovely Brooke way.
"Look we're not talking about this… blah blah blah," Peyton said back sarcastically.
"Fine we don't have to 'cuz in a few hours we'll be in Tree Hill and you'll see our ex-boyfriend," Brooke said laughing.
Peyton went to her room to fetch her bags while Brooke went to her room to finish packing.
"Babe. Hey, babe where are you," a very well built, much more mature, and handsome Tim Smith had just entered the girls apartment. The prep school that Tim had transferred to during their senior year had done wonders for him. He was smoother with the ladies, dressed better, bulked up in the muscle department, and got his grades up enough to attend one of the most prestigious junior colleges in the country, it just happened to be in New York City.
"I'm in my room honey," Brooke replied, she could hear Peyton laughing in her room. Peyton still couldn't believe that Brooke and Tim were dating and had been for six months. All Peyton could think of was Tim's time capsule video, when he said all the ladies love him but he was dating Brooke. This Tim though was not the same as that Tim, he was different yet Peyton still couldn't help but think of who he was.
Tim walked into Brooke's room and kissed her, "Hey baby," Brooke said. "How'd your finals go? Good I hope? If you did well they'll let you transfer to a real school right?"
"They did and yes," Tim replied as he put his hands on Brooke's waist and leaned in for more kissing.
"Tim if you are distracting her, so help you god I will come in there and kill you," Peyton yelled from the other room.
Brooke pushed Tim away and playfully slapped his chest with the shirt she had been folding. "Are you really going back to Tree Hill for the summer? I mean the best thing from Tree Hill is already here," Tim said.
"Awe babe that's sweet," said Brooke.
"What," Tim said, "I meant me," he said laughing and reaching for her, "I was just kidding, of course it's you."
Brooke let him pull her in for a kiss this time. When they separated she said, "why don't you come back too? If Nathan's home he'd love the company and it would help him from wanting to see Haley and it wouldn't put Lucas in the middle."
"I'm just gonna stay here and work on my game, besides Nathan is going to Europe for the whole summer to play ball. I talked to him the other day" Tim said. "I'm gonna miss you though."
"Awe I'm gonna miss you too, TimTime," she said as she continued to fold and pack clothes.
"I really wish you wouldn't call me that," Tim said.
"I can't help it. I know you never say it anymore and believe me I'm glad but it's kind of funny to remember who you used to be."
"Ha, ha real funny," Tim said sarcastically.
"It's just my nickname for you so there, that alone should make it special," Brooke said back.
"Alright then I better stop distracting you before she," nodding toward Peyton's room, "comes in and kills me." He leaves the room, "let me know when you two are ready to go to the airport," he yells from down the hallway.
