Peace Of Life

Chapter 1

*Three years into the future*

"Finally, after all these years we'll all be together again!" Laurel chimed happily, she twirled around the living room minding most of the boxes and bags still kept in there, despite Andrews request for it to be cleaned.

Tommy smiled at her where as Daniel simply rolled his eyes, "It's only been three years hun," Tommy reminded her as she stop twirling around, "Aw I know but I missed you guys over the years!"

Laurel took a glance at Daniel, who just happened to be sitting on the couch resting while Laurel  stayed in her cheerful manner, how she changed over the years.

She kept her hair down now, her hair was more highlighted with a natural glow, she was wearing a light blue short sleeved shirt, a white skirt, black stockings with white shoes, the one thing that didn't change about her was the way her eyes gleamed in the light.

Tommy looked almost the same as he did when he last saw him, His eyes were still an icy blue, his charcoal hair still styled a over his right eye, he wore a black and white shirt with blue jeans and white and blue shoes.

I wonder, how much did he change.

"Daniel? Daniel? You still alive in there?" Tommy asked waving his hand infront of his face, if he didn't respond they might think he died right there and then.

Daniel nodded his head at them,"I'm not died yet guys, relax." Tommy let out a quiet oh and sat down on the other side of the couch.

"Well then, can you answer my question?" Laurel asked skipping to the nearby window, "You gonna tell me what it was?" He questioned back, Laurel smiled as she while gazing outside.

"What did you miss while you were in college?"

Daniel raised an eyebrow at her, "Home cooked meals." He said without much hesitation, soon after his answer both Laurel and Tommy giggled, well Tommy mostly laughed.

"What? What's so funny?" He frowned as Laurel turn to look at him, "You sure you didn't miss anything else? Someone else?" Daniel felt his cheeks warm up, he shook the feeling off and glared daggers at Laurel.

"No I didn't, stop assuming I did." Laurel rolled her eyes with a smile and looked back out the window, "Sure Daniel, sure." Daniel huffed silently as he rested his head on his hand, I didn't miss anyone, well maybe, I kinda did miss Lucas and Laurel but no one else, right?

Laurel gasped at something outside and started jumping up and down, "Guysss Andrew and Lucas are back!" She announced loudly and cheerfully, and she was correct, as Tommy opened the front door they could already hear Lucas and Andrews bickering.

Daniel got up and walked out the door to the front yard, Lucas and Andrew's bickering could wake up the neighbors at just normal volume, "No no, Andrew you're not getting the purpose, if a person is born deaf what language would they think in??" Lucas questioned as Andrew took a single luggage out of the trunk.

"Oh my god, Lucas! Shut up!" Andrew snapped back at the brunette, Andrew's hair was messy and a dark brown, his eyes were a dark blue behind his glasses, he had a white shirt on with dark blue jeans and dark brown boots.

Lucas on the other hand had curly light brunette hair, and bright blue eyes, his outfit consisted of a grey shirt and a pair of black ripped jeans with black and white shoes.

Lucas stuck his tongue out at the other and opened the back door to the car, someone stepped out of the car and onto the lawn, his hair was a long dark red, his eyes golden, he wore a black shirt and a grey jacket around his waist, black legging with knee high heeled boots and a black duffle bag over his shoulder.

"Oh my god, both of you shut up! Or I'll drive a screwdriver into your skulls!" He hissed at the two, Laurel ran over to the dark haired man and embraced him into a hug, "Aww Jason welcome back!" She smiled, Jason sighed and patted Laurel on the back.

Spent three years away from her and he already doesn't want to be touched, Daniel walked over to the others while Tommy stayed in the doorway, "Daniel those luggage's better be put away or you're sleeping outside." Andrew warned as he started to bring the luggage inside, Daniel blinked and remembered, we didn't put away shit.

"Starting to feel like home already," Jason laughed as Laurel went over to talked with Lucas, "You didn't change a bit did you." Daniel stated towards Jason, He smiled a shark like grin to Daniel, "I picked up a couple new things along the way."

Jason was always one of Daniel favorites, for many reasons, one was for his smile, it always made Daniel want to smile too, "I suppose, you give up coffee yet? You work a workaholic." He questioned to the red haired man.

Jason gave a dramatic gasp with a hand on his heart, "Daniel! You know I could never! And besides I work just as much as a business man," He stated proudly, Daniel sighed and shook his head, "I'm pretty sure you work more then the average person."

"Correction, I'm not the average person," He smiled at the blonde. "Fine fine, whatever you say," Daniel said making his way to the door. Laurel and Lucas already had went inside, Tommy went to help Andrew with all the luggage in the living room and Jason just followed Daniel.

"So what have you been up to?" Jason questioned, walking along side Daniel, "Not much, I only really passed social studies." Daniel shrugged as he sat on the couch once again, "And yet you're not a social person." Jason teased ruffling Daniel's hair, he swatted away Jason's hand with a slight huff.

"You know there's another reason I'm back," Jason said quietly and sat down on the couch as well, "This place has great coffee?" Daniel guesses with a smile, Jason grinned at him "Phff nah, I came back cause Laurel would probably kick my ass, but I also came back to see you."

Daniel turned to look Jason dead in the eyes, the were kind and honest, fuck, I keep forgetting he's hot. "You're so cheesy," Daniel joked, lightly pushing Jason's shoulder, "Sure I am Rochester, sure." Jason laughed, as he passed a hand through his hair.

Soon after a while Laurel, Lucas, Tommy, and Andrew came back into the living room, Lucas and Andrew were arguing per usual, sometimes it's hard to think they're friends, while Tommy and Laurel followed behind them.

"Hey! What did I say! Shut up!" Jason hissed angrily at the two once more, Tommy sighed and sat down at the nearby chess table with Andrew while Luca sat down on the end of the couch.

"Thank you." You're a mood Jason, Laurel clapped her hands to get their attention, which work spectacularly well, "Okay can I speak now without the old married couple fighting?" She asked with a smile.

"We aren't married Laurel," Andrew corrected, Laurel shot him a glare and continued, "Well you should be but that that's not the point." Jason slapped himself on the forehead that actually left a small mark.

"The point is I have recently discovered something that I think is worth looking into," She  clapped her hands together in front of her, "Which would be..?" Tommy asked, waving his hand forward for Laurel to continue.

"Well, have any of you guys hear of the recent case of the White Killer?" She asked with a slight raised eyebrow, why does that sound familiar.
