So I know we found many similarities and parallelisms between these two couple like:

- Total opposites, for starters.

- Didn't get together for the right reasons at first, but ended up falling in love. (Nathan only dated Haley to make Lucas mad, Lucas only dated Brooke b/c it was the easy way out)

- Haley/Lucas inspired a lot the changes we've seen in Nathan/Brooke

- Haley got a tattoo for Nathan, Lucas got a tattoo for Brooke

- Brooke was Haley's maid of honor, Lucas was Nathan's best man

- Brooke and Lucas are Naley's child's godparents

- BH wrote NL letters during the same summer.

- Haley didn't understand Brucas. Lucas didn't understand Naley.. [At first, anway]

- Brooke asked Peyton if she was cool with her and Lucas. Haley asked her the same thing about her and Nathan.

- Chris Keller screwed them over lol

- Rain speeches/fights/kisses. They used the same line about catching pneumonia. Nathan: I want you Haley, not Peyton. Lucas: I wanna be with you, not Peyton.

- They both had pregnancy scares..

- In 5x18, Lucas said that Brooke saved him and in 5x13 Nathan said that Haley saved him.

- They 'resurrected' on the same day, in episode 3x09.

- "Sometimes people play hard to get because they need to know the other persons feelings are real" (from S3, Brooke about Nathan & Haley, herself & Lucas)

- Purple is Naley's color. Red is BL's color. Brooke gave Luke a purple monkey. The NH wedding was purple and red. Basically, they have colors.

- Rachel went after Lucas while he and Brooke were "nonexclusive", and she went after Nathan while he was with Haley.

- NH had their first scene together in 1x03. So did BL.

- They both took carriage rides.

- Nathan gave Haley a bracelet ('It's for you'), Brooke gave Lucas a monkey ('This is for you')

- At Luke's wedding, they flashed back to Nathan and Haley talking about having kids. They also flashed back to Brooke and Lucas talking about the same thing.

- The characters on the show have used their couple names (Brucas + Naley)

- Brooke [3x22]: "Why won't you ever just let me all the way in?" VS. Haley [4x03]: "I want you to let me in."

- In S4, there is a scene where Haley tells Nathan that he is her hero. Then he gives her the bracelet, and tells her he loves her. In 5x18, Lucas tells Brooke that she saved him. Then she gives him the monkey and tells him she loves him.

- Nathan said he would give it all up [basketball] for Haley. Brooke said she would have given it all up [fashion] for Lucas.

- 1.08 Lucas said to Brooke "Call me if you need anything, ok." The episode before that, Brooke read out Haley's note to Nathan and it said, "Call me if you need anything, at all."

- Lucas and Haley still loved Brooke and Nathan, all they had to do was take them back.

- "It's not so easy getting back in the ring, especially with the one who knocked you out in the first place."

- Chris said he envied Brooke for finding Lucas, someone to trust and confide in who won't take advantage of it, like Haley found Nathan.

- Nathan (to Haley): I'm afraid to be vulnerable again. Brooke (to Lucas): I was afraid to be vulnerable.

- Lucas decorated Brooke's locker. Haley decorated Nathan's locker. <<< new

- When BL were married (in the dream), Lucas' name was Lucas Davis-Scott. After marriage, Haley changed her name to Haley James-Scott.




And so it boggles me that naley is together now, and brucas isn't. It's not like I'm losing hope, I amor my dear Brucas! But you know, I've been pissed off at Mark because I don't know what going through his 2-sized brain. It is so frustrating, that sometimes I think Mark never meant for brucas to happen, to be appreciated and loved. But he has given us these naley similarities which supposedly would give us hope but it could go either way, like naley will work but not Brucas. Like it isn't supposed to work all the time. What do you guys think?

Yeah I'm sorry if I don't make complete sense, there's just too many things on my mind, switching from here to the Othforums (where LP fãs are crazier) so yeah.

Edit: how cool is it that OThforums has the same thread. Go check it out! link I got the similarities from there. Credit to MMMHanson and all those who contributed.
