Wonders, Thursday [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas was distracted again today. None of the news he'd managed to get from Karen was very good. All his mom could say was that Haley had left town with some musician guy.

Lucas set up at the ticket booth and tried Nathan's number again.

He didn't think he was going to get much accomplished on that new 19th hole.

There's mini golf and go karts!

Lucas [3/27]

Who was a little busy with his phone, trying to catch his brother in an answering sort of mood.

After radio last night, Brooke was sort of thinking she needed to have some catchup time with Lucas, which was why she was going to mini golf after class. "Oh, look, just the boy I was looking for."

"If it isn't Brooke Davis from the future," Lucas replied, looking up from his busywork. "Come to tell me why Hales left town?"

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[gobrookeyourself]

Oh, right. That. "No, but I'm kind of wondering if she didn't just get so sick of the whole being good thing that getting married junior year just wasn't enough rebellion for Tutor Girl," Brooke said.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Because getting married at 16 wasn't weird enough," Lucas shook his head.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[gobrookeyourself]

"Haven't talked to her, huh?" she guessed, putting the gossip hounding on the back burner some actual sympathy.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"I've had a hard time getting through," Lucas admitted. "I'm thinking I might need to go see Nathan. Find out what happened there." They were so new to this brother thing, he really felt he should be there.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

"Hope he's doing okay," she said, because back home Haley still wasn't back and the whole situation pretty much sucked. "I mean, I'm sure he's not okay, but you know what I mean."

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"I do," he nodded. "How's your headache?" He listened to radio and even paid attention sometimes.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[gobrookeyourself]

"Huh? Oh, that," she said, shaking her head. "Happily done for. At least I don't have to ask if you listen."

Re: Lucas [3/27]

"'Course I do," Lucas replied, "Invasions class taught me the squirrels are everywhere."

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[gobrookeyourself]

And there was her train of thought completely derailed. "Squirrels in Invasions class?"

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I got to talk to one of them," he said. "Today we fought dinosaurs."

Lana had napped for an hour or two after class, pulled herself together, and decided she had to get out of her room. She seemed to recall that Thursdays were one of the days Lucas worked and thought she'd stop by and say hello.

She saw him before he saw her and just took a moment to watch him with a smile on her face.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Hey Lana, stop by for some mini golf now that you're kid-free?" Lucas asked, spotting his friend.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure I've ever actually mini-golfed," she said with a smile. "But yeah, no kids. And of course, just to be perverse, I honestly miss them."

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"You miss the droid babies?" Lucas wasn't sure he believed that.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I definitely won't miss them at 2:30 in the morning," she said, "but, yeah... I got used to having them around. Their presence, their weight in my arms..."

She shrugged. "I know. I'm crazy."

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"So you like, want to have kids?" The fear was possibly a little evident given his own birth situation.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

She looked at him curiously. "Someday, sure. Though I'm less and less sure it will ever happen. I take it you don't?"

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm 16 and I think my mom would kill me if I wasn't a college graduate before I had kids," Luke replied.

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana laughed and covered her face with her hands. "You're only 16? Oh God, I'm in so much trouble! But yeah, no kids at least till I get through college and grad school. Might even go for my doctorate."

"But someday," she said quietly, "someday... I'd give just about anything for a home and family of my own."

Re: Lucas [3/27]

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Someday is all any of us can hope for," Lucas agreed. "And I'm almost 17."

Re: Lucas [3/27]

"Well, that's a relief," Lana said with a smile. "When's your birthday?"
