Sorry guys that it took me a bit longer. I have to start learning and try to update my other stories as well (Boom, Tree Hill teenager, DerekPeytonBrooke). But I made it a longer chapter!

*forever-alwaysB-Davis: Thanks for the idea that the Scotts should come too! Yeah, I will definitely let Phoebe be a normal teenager soon. She just had to deal with tough stuff in the past and no one who cared for her. But now she has many people that do in her life!

*haleydavisbaker: I am glad that you love Julian. Some asked whether this could turn into a Brucas but it won't. Brooke and Julian are happy together and with Phoebe, they are a little family!

*may92: Well...Bitchtoria. She is really a fun person I must say. I try my best with Phoebe making the vacation worst than a hell for Victoria ;0)

Thank u all for reading

All of them were packing for their big family vacation and all of them had mixed feelings towards it. Somehow they were happy to go on a trip together but somehow they also feared big scenes with Victoria and the shooting. Tomorrow they would fly to Hawaii, "I cannot find my bathing suit Brooke.", Phoebe screamed in her room and looked everywhere: Under the bed, in her closet. But it was nowhere.

"That's because you have to learn swimming before we fly to Hawaii and we are going to Haley's in an hour.", Brooke screamed back.

"What?", Phoebe ran into the room and looked shocked at her sister who packed her stuff and Julian's, "I don't want to learn swimming there."

"Why not?", Brooke could not understand the shift in her sister's mood and looked up into her blushed face.

"Because...because. He'll make fun of me.", she revealed and sat down on the bed with her arms crossed at her chest.

"Who?" Brooke really did not have a clue and asked innocently but then she got it, "Right. You mean Jamie?" She had to suppress a laugh. Lately Phoebe and Jamie spent much time together. Not because they wanted it but because Brooke hung up at Haley's very often or vice versa and they always took the kids with them.

"Yes. He will. You know that he is so childish and won't stop teasing me.", Brooke took her sister's hands in hers and tried to pretend that she would understand her worries, "If you're so mature yourself then it would not interest you a moment whether he makes fun of you or not."

Phoebe rolled her eyes immediately and took back her hands, "You are so mean. You know that!", she walked out of the room and continued packing while listening to loud music.

"God Phoebe. Do you really have to hear that stuff?"

"That's not stuff. It is Justin Bieber.", Phoebe screamed back while Julian rolled his eyes at her behavior.

An hour later they were at the Scotts. Nathan and Jamie and his little sister Lisa were in the pool and fooling around while Haley watched TV, "Gossip girl". Brooke and Phoebe entered the house happily and sat down besides her.

"Oh I love that show.", Phoebe smiled and hugged Haley happily. They had become very close in the last time.

"Hey sweetie. Jamie, Lisa. Phoebe is here.", she immediately screamed and got a mad look from Phoebe. Brooke hugged her best friend as well and then smiled all over her face.

"Have you packed?"

"Yup. Everything is packed. God Brooke. I am so excited."

"You're coming too?", Phoebe asked surprised when she listened to their conversation. "Yup. Isn't that great?" Phoebe looked mad at Brooke.

"You could have told me that before. Now I have to learn swimming or Jamie will make fun of me the whole vacation."

"Well then let's start.", Brooke threw her swimming suit in her face and took her hand and pulled her in one room to get changed, "Don't worry Phoebe. It's not that difficult.", she took Phoebe's hand in hers when she saw her concerns.

"I know. But what if I drown?", she whispered and received a small slap for that.

"Do you really think I would let you drown."

"Nooo. But it is embarrassing Brooke. Everybody at my age can swim and I have to hold my big sister's hand."

"Well not for long. So now c'mon." Brooke took her hand again and pushed her outside, "I'll come in ten minutes. I just have to make an important phone call, okay?", Phoebe nodded and went over to Julian who was sitting outside the pool. After ten minutes Brooke ran outside, "Hey boys" she shouted at Nathan and Jamie who where still in the pool and jumping around "now it's girls' time. So get out."

"Why can't we stay?", Jamie asked confused and then smiled happily when he saw Phoebe standing behind Brooke, "Hey Phoebe." Phoebe waved shortly back and blushed a bit. Brooke saw that and could not help but smile. What had happened to her little sister? Finally the boys were outside and Brooke went with Phoebe to the steps. At first she went into the water and held out her hand at Phoebe who was still standing on the first step.

"C'mon Phoebe. I won't let go of you. Okay?"

"But it's cold.", Phoebe whined but took Brooke's hand when she swam back to her. Step by step she went deeper into the water until she was still standing on one step but only her head looked out of the water, "That's mean. I cannot even stand on the last step", she whined and then took a deep breath and counted till three and then jumped into Brooke's arms. She hugged her so tightly that Brooke was happy that she could still stand in the water.

"Don't let me fall, okay!"

"I promise but sooner or later you have to let go of me to start learning swimming. All you do right now is suffocating me.", Phoebe laughed down at Brooke's face and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "What was that for?", Brooke asked stunned when Phoebe rested her head on Brooke's shoulder and still had a pretty tough hold on her.

"I just never want to let you go.", Phoebe smiled happily but then started to shiver.

"Ok. Thanks sis. But you have to. You'll get a cold if you don't start moving your own legs. How about we start in the water where you can stand?" Phoebe raised an eyebrow.

"See that is the problem I cannot stand at any spot in this damn pool but on the steps. The pool is just too deep." Neither of them recognized that Julian was filming the whole time. He loved seeing them together and their sweet conversations.

"How about a tough start? I just let you go and you try. I've already shown you the moves you have to make and if you go under I'll catch you. Okay?", Brooke suggested but looked into a face of fear "That's a joke, right? I will go under. Definitely. And what if you break your feet and go under as well?"

"How should I break my feet in here Phoebe?"

"I don't know. But you are always so clumsy. You fall over everything." Brooke wanted to say something back when another person in the pool answered, "If she breaks her feet I will rescue you, okay?", Haley laughed hard at the sight of them. Phoebe had such a hard grip around Brooke with her legs around her waist and her arms around her neck. "Phoebe, if you don't want to learn swimming you can take this.", Haley threw a swimming help from her little daughter towards her and already knew Phoebe's reaction. She took it in her hand and threw it out of the water.

"There is no way I am going to swim with that. Ever. God. I will add this moment into my book of embarrassment.", Brooke and Haley laughed loud. Phoebe was the master of exaggeration right after Brooke herself.

"On three you let me go okay and then you try swimming towards Haley?" Phoebe took a deep breath and then nodded. She let go of Brooke and turned around with her help. "One. Two. Three." Brooke let go of her but all Phoebe did was turning around again and holding her tight.

"God Phoebe. Nothing will happen." Once again they tried to count till three but Phoebe reacted the same way. Suddenly Jamie jumped wildly into the pool, which splashed Phoebe, Brooke and his mother, "Sorry.", he laughed hard and then swam around, "It's not that difficult Phoebe. I already showed my sister." Lisa was the next one who jumped in without any help.

"What? She can swim as well.", Phoebe complained and widener her eyes.

"I can show you if you want.", Lisa swam to Brooke and made Phoebe smile at the little girl.

"Thanks baby but..." Suddenly another wave of water was heading towards them. A very big wave. This wave was caused by two big men. Nathan had thrown Julian into the pool and now happily jumped in it as well.

"Guys. We wanted privacy.", Haley complained but was dunked under the water by Nathan immediately, you know that I hate that.", she screamed and went after him. Brooke and Phoebe had to laugh hard because of their sweetness. Of course Nathan won the fight and threw his wife through the air, which ended in Haley being under the water again. Julian in the meantime wrestled with Lisa and Jamie.

"See. You could do that too if you learn to swim.", Brooke whispered into her sister's ear who nodded but before they had a chance to try Julian picked up Phoebe and threw her into the water without any warning. Phoebe screamed loud but immediately swam back to Brooke and looked extremely mad at Julian. Both of them, Brooke and Phoebe, screamed at him "Are you nuts?"

But Julian just laughed hard and threw her into the water again. This time a little further. Again Phoebe swam back. But this time she did not swim to her sister but right to the steps, which were farer away. Furiously she went out of the water and ran into the living room.

"God Julian. That was not very sensitive.", Brooke screamed at her husband who had to suppress a laugh, "but that's how I learned it. Sometimes you just have to be thrown into the deep cold water, honey." He answered but received a mad look "Not my theory."

"Yeah, well if it comes to you, you two would be still sitting in this pool in one week and just talking about swimming without actually doing anything." Brooke went out of the pool very mad and after her sister. She was shocked when Phoebe ran again to the water and jumped in without hesitations in front of Julian so that he got splashed.

Brooke looked at the spot were Phoebe was under the water and did not come up, "Julian. Take her.", she screamed and jumped into the water as well and pulled Phoebe to the surface. But Phoebe did not look panicked at her but splashed the water with her mouth in her sister's face and laughed hard when she saw her astonished face and swam easily to Julian. Both of them were laughing so hard at her, "What?", she asked when they gave each other's a high five. Then Phoebe swam around and splashed the others. "Julian already showed me how to swim five minutes ago.", she screamed happily and tried to push Nathan under the water with Jamie. But Nathan was stronger and pulled them out of the water just to throw them in again.

"Not so wild Nathan.", Haley laughed when she saw how happy everybody was.

"You two are so mean.", Brooke finally could say anything and jumped onto her husband and both of them went under the water and kissed each other's.

"How could you not recognize her wet bathing suit? Or even think that I could be so mean to my little Phoebe?", he took Phoebe again and threw her as far as possible.

After a while Jamie screamed, "Let's do fighting. Me and Phoebe against Brooke and Julian and mom and dad. And you Lisa. You have the most important task. You have to count and tell who won. Ok?". Lisa nodded and went out of the water to watch them play.

"I am in it.", Julian pulled Brooke on his shoulders and Nathan did the same with Haley. Jamie then looked at Phoebe who hesitated, "C'mon. We want to win.", he took out his hands and was happy when she took it and went on his shoulders. It was a good thing that he had grown so much lately and that she was a small girl.

"One two three. Staaaaart.", Lisa screamed and they started fighting. Of course Jamie and Phoebe did not stand a chance. They were so much smaller and fell into the water immediately when Haley pushed Phoebe backwards. Laughing they went outside and watched the fight continuing.

"Go mom.", Jamie screamed while Phoebe screamed, "go sis." Haley and Brooke looked smiling at each others and tried to push the other while Nathan and Julian pinched each others nose.

"Don't do that. Nathan.", Nathan tried everything so that Julian would loose his balance. Finally Haley managed to push Brooke back so that she was about to fall and causing Julian to loose his balance. But Brooke took hold of Haley's arm and threw her and Nathan into the water with them when they fell backwards. "Oh you.", Haley screamed at Brooke and pushed her under the water again.

"Don't attack my wife.", Julian answered and threw Haley around but Nathan was right at her side and pulled him under, "Don't you attack my wife.", he laughed. Finally all of them were looking exhausted out of the water and asked Lisa who had won.

Lisa had to think a moment but then looked happily and admiring at Phoebe, "Phoebeeeee.", she screamed and hugged her tightly.

"Why me?", Phoebe asked surprised and hugged her back.

"Because you are so cool and pretty and smart and...", Phoebe blushed when Jamie could not stop laughing besides them.

"C'mon kids. Get in again.", they did not have to say that twice. Jamie, Lisa and Phoebe ran to the pool and sprung as far as possible right into the arms of their mother, father and sister.

The next morning Brooke opened the door when somebody knocked at it a couple of times. "What? Mother?", she asked confused. Victoria entered her house and pushed Brooke a bit, "Get ready. The flight is one hour earlier." Brooke widened her eyes and ran to wake up Julian. Unfortunately her mother was faster and went into the room to wake her sister up which ended in Phoebe screaming loudly.

"Aaaaaa. My living nightmare is back.", she had to suppress a laugh at her mother's shocked face and got dressed as fast as possible. At the airport they met the Scotts and welcomed them happily.

"Why are they flying with us?"

"Because we wanted to, Victoria. Nice to meet you.", Haley greeted her but only received a mean look. Lisa was still sleeping in Nathan's arms while they checked in.

"I want to sit besides my daughter.", Victoria announced and made two people look up. "My oldest daughter. Since I have a lot to talk to her."

"Cool. I want to sit besides Jamie.", Phoebe burst out and they went to their places. Three people could sit besides each other's. So Brooke was in the middle of Julian and Victoria, Lisa was between her parents and Phoebe in the middle of Jamie and another boy around fourteen.

"Hey.", the boy said to Phoebe and then held out his hand "my name is Kevin." Phoebe blushed immediately when she saw him sitting besides her.

"Hi. I am Phoebe and this is..." but Jamie interrupted her "Thanks. I can introduce myself. I am Jamie.", he said in a somehow angry voice.

"Nice to meet you. Siblings?", he asked not looking away from Phoebe.

"Definitely not.", Jamie answered fast and wanted to change the subject and especially stop him from talking to Phoebe all the time.

Some time later: "Wow. Your already in the next level", Phoebe looked down at Kevin's iphone while he was playing a game, "you're really good." Jamie rolled his eyes and looked out of the window and repeated her words. Phoebe, who had only eyes for Kevin at the moment, looked stunned at him.

"Did you say anything?"

"No. No. Keep on playing that cooool game."

One row behind Haley whispered into the ear of his husband "Seems like our son is jealous..." she did not say more because Jamie shouted.

"Mom. Can we please switch places?"

"Why?"

"Just do it. Okay?" Haley looked into his pleading eyes and then nodded.

"Phoebe could you please take the seat by the window. I have to throw up if I'll sit there.", she revealed. Phoebe showed a grimace and switched places.

Kevin was so into his game that he did not switch too, so that Haley was now sitting in the middle of them and finally realized that this was something her son wanted. Just too intelligent her boy.

"Why did you switch seats?", Phoebe asked through the chairs but Jamie pretended not to hear her, "Nathan.", she finally said when Jamie was far away from answering her "can we switch seats?". Nathan rolled his eyes but then agreed. After the next switching Brooke was sitting besides Lisa who still slept and Lisa besides Jamie who was still angry for getting so less attention from Phoebe.

"I ask you again Jamie. Why did you switch seats? Why are you mad at me?", but Jamie was a master in not communicating with someone when he did not want to, "God. You are such a baby.", Phoebe whined and then looked to the other side and asked Julian to switch.

"Could you two just stop arguing over whatever it is?", Julian asked but received a shaking head and switched with her. Now Phoebe was sitting besides her sister who sat besides her mother as well.

"Oh no. I don't want to sit near...", she wanted to complain again but this time it was Victoria who lost her patience, "Phoebe stop acting like a child and switching chairs all the time. This is no speed dating scenario." Phoebe looked shocked at Victoria.

"But I did not start it. Jamie wanted to change." She complained. Jamie sat on the other side and argued.

"Yeah well, because you did not listen to me at all because you were so busy playing that stupid game."

"I was not. I did ask you whether you said anything. It is not my problem that you...", Phoebe stopped talking when Haley turned around and shouted at them "You two. Stop right now. We are going on a family trip and I don't want it to start with you two fighting."

"But...", Phoebe tried to argue but now it was Brooke's turn.

"No but Phoebe. I swear to god if you don't stop complaining right now you can watch us all happily in the ocean while you have to sit outside.", Brooke was so stiffened up from having to sit besides her mother that she overreacted a bit.

"That's not really nice Aunt Brooke. Where would be the point in her learning swimming?", he knew that Brooke would never do anything like that to Phoebe. This time Nathan butted in.

"Jamie. You don't talk like that to Brooke. You can sit outside as well if you keep on pushing little man."

"He is not a little man Nathan. I promise he'll be bigger than you any time and he did not talk mean to my sister." Julian just rolled his eyes and decided to take a word as well.

"Phoebe. Don't go any further.", he warned her but did not say more when Victoria was bursting out into laughing.

"What?", Brooke asked confused. Victoria looked at everyone and then said, "I am sorry you guys. But have you listened to each other's? You sound like a big patchwork family who cannot control their kids."

Now it was Phoebe's turn again, "They can control us.", she shouted at her mother who started to admire the courage of her youngest daughter, "well then stop talking back all the time Phoebe.", she said it with such a force in her voice that Phoebe did not dare to open her mouth again and just crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Oh god. This is going to be just perfect.", Brooke thought and looked over to Julian who gave her a smile back and blinked with his eye.

I hope it was not too long?
