Hey everyone
This is my first Teen Wolf story. What I will keep the same is that something did happen to the Hale Family but it won't be a fire in this version. I'm going to do something else and just change a few things. I also will change their age as well.
I also will be using locations that were used on the show but not all of them had actual addresses so either I will leave it the way it is, or make up address.
Also, I'm going to be doing something that I don't think an author has done on the site and this is when I have it go six years later Peter will be an writer who comes back to Beacon Hills to write a book and I will show what he writes for the book. It probably won't be the entire book but probably parts from it.
I also want to acknowledge that I don't own the rights to anything Teen Wolf.
P.S.
I had the update the year because I wanted to go by when the show came on MTV which I found out was June, but I'm not going by that. I decided to start in July 2011.

Now, on to reading my story
The Hale Family
Prologue
About six years ago the parents of Laura, Derek, and Cora were killed in a terrible car crash. The driver of the car was speeding too fast and then it crashed into the taxi cab. The driver of the taxi cab was unconscious and so was Roman. Talia was the only one who appeared to be conscious that she was able to make a call to 911 for help.
It didn't take long for the first ambulances to arrive. They could hear a woman yelling we need help and then two paramedics went to go see what was wrong.
Minutes later a police car pulls up and then seconds later he gets out of the car. He walks over to the paramedics that are working on the driver of the cab, and Talia and Roman.
Carl: Are they okay?
Sandy: The driver sustained only minor injuries and I think they had to do with the airbag saving him.
Carl: What about the passengers in the car?
Sandy: The injuries are serious. They need to get to the hospital as soon as possible.
Carl: Okay! There should be another officer coming soon. Were you or your partner able to find information on who they are. I need to know so I can notify the police station so they can notify the families of what has happened.
Sandy: The driver's name is Raul Thomas. The other two are Roman and Talia Hale.
Carl: What about the other driver?
Sandy: I don't know! You have to ask the other paramedics what the driver's name is.
Carl: Okay!
Then he heads to the other paramedics to get the identity of who the other driver is.
Max: We need to get him to a hospital. His chances aren't good.
Seconds later they see a police officer coming their way.
Carl: Do you know the identity of who the driver is?
Max: No! We couldn't find any identification in his car.
Carl: Can you tell me what his injuries were?
Max: He was awake when I started to help but it wasn't long before he passed out. I checked to make sure he was breathing but there was no pulse. I called my partner over to help me. We were able to get a pulse but it's barley there.
Carl: Okay! Get him to the hospital now!
Then he goes to notify the police station.
Twenty minutes later
Peter Hale was at the house babysitting Derek and Cora when he hears a knock on the door and he thought who could that be. Seconds later he goes to open the door and that is when he says a officer and he thought maybe he's here because of Laura.
Officer John: Hi! I'm Detective John!
Peter: Detective, can you tell me why you are here?
Officer John: There was a car crash in town in town. Your brother in-law and sister were hurt in the crash.
Peter was shocked by that but was hoping that the officer would tell them their injuries were minor.
Officer John: If you think you're unable to driver I could just take you myself.
When Peter heard that he was thinking how hurt they were and then he thought about Derek and Cora.
Peter: I'm babysitting my nephew and niece.
Officer John: Is there someone that you can call to watch them?
Peter: Yes! If my other niece doesn't answer her phone I'm just going to have to take them with me to the hospital.
Officer John: I understand sir! I'll just wait outside!
Then seconds later Peter goes to make a call to Laura and after three rings she answers the phone.
Laura: Hey Uncle Peter!
Peter: Laura, I need you to come back to the house.
Laura: Did something happen?
Peter: Yes! Your parents were in an accident. I need you to watch your brother and sister while I go to the hospital.
Laura: I'm on my way Uncle Peter.
It took five minutes for Laura to get home.
Peter: I will call you to let you know what I find out.
Laura: Okay! Where is Derek and Cora?
Peter: They're sleeping!
Laura: Okay!
Then Peter heads out and get in the cop car that will take him to the hospital.
At The Hospital
Roman was able to come out of unconsciousness and was asking if his wife was okay. One of the nurses told him that she's in surgery right now. Then he said has someone in my family been contacted? The nurse told him "I don't know but I will find out. Then she heads out of the emergency operating room seconds later.
Cindy: Do you know if the family has been notified about what happened?
Gina: Yes! A cop was sent to the Hale house.
Meanwhile the doctor was working to keep Talia alive.
Dr. Hal: This isn't looking good. If I can't stop the bleeding...
Melissa: Do you want to give up?
Dr. Hal: Not yet! She's still fighting to live. I want to give her that chance.
Melissa: Okay!
Five minutes later
Peter Hale arrives at the hospital and heads in to find out the information about his sister and his brother in-law.
He sees a nurse at the desk seconds later.
Peter: My sister Talia Hale and her husband Roman were in a car accident. Can you tell me any information?
Gina: I believe your Sister is still in surgery and you Brother in-law is in the emergency room.
Peter: Is there anything else that you can tell me now?
Gina: Not right now but I will let you know when the surgery is over and tell the doctor that you need to speak with him.
Peter: Okay! Do you think I could see my Brother in-law?
Gina: I will call the emergency room to find out if anyone is allowed to see him?
Peter: Thank you!
Seconds later she makes a call to the emergency room.
A couple of minutes later
Peter is told by the nurse that he can see his Brother in-law and seconds later he ends to the emergency room.
Meanwhile Dr. Hal has decided nothing else can be done for Talia.
Melissa: You tried your best.
Dr. Hal: My best wasn't good enough. It won't be easy to tell the family that there isn't anything else that can be done for her.
Melissa: It never is. You know I could tell the family if you don't want to do it.
Dr. Hal: Thanks for offering but I think I can handle it.
Melissa: Okay.
Meanwhile in the emergency room.
Roman: Did they tell you anything about Talia?
Peter: All I was told was that she was in surgery but the nurse told me that she would tell the doctor that I need to speak with him about Talia.
Roman: I can't believe this happened to us.
Peter: Do you remembered what happened?
Roman: We were on our way back to the house and then this car comes out of sudden and then everything goes dark.
Peter: Well, it's a miracle that you're still alive.
Roman: Can you go find out from the nurse you spoke to if Talia is finished with surgery?
Peter: Okay!
Then he heads to go back to the main lobby of the hospital.
When he gets there the nurse tells him the doctor will talk to him in a minute. A minute later the doctor comes out to tell Peter the news and when he gets to the part of telling him that nothing else can be done for Talia, that is when Peter's legs starts to crumble. He was thinking this isn't fair at all. How am I going to tell her husband and her kids that she's going to die.
It took some strength on Peter's part to find the strength to get up. He didn't think he could face Roman right now. For right now all he could think about was going somewhere to be alone before he faced Roman and called Laura to let know her about how her Mom and Dad were doing.
Meanwhile Laura was pacing back and forth. She wanted her Uncle Peter to call but thought maybe the reason he hasn't called is because he doesn't know the news about her parents. She was also grateful that her brother and sister were asleep because if they saw her she didn't know how she would tell them something has happened to Mom and Dad.
So, as the time was passing Peter was about to head down to the emergency room when the nurse who he spoke to her earlier stops him. She tells him that his Brother in-law died and that was another shocking thing for him to deal with. What was going through was not he was going to tell Laura first that her dad had passed and that her mom was still alive but that she would die too.
When he was finally able to call his older niece Laura and tells her the news about her parents it was a shock for her as well. She was concerned more for Derek and Cora, because they were just kids who were losing their parents too soon. Also, what else would be hard is helping her Uncle Peter with the funeral arrangements.
When it was decided who would tell Derek and Cora about their parents, Laura thought she should be the one to do it. She knew telling them wouldn't be easy, but she knew if her Uncle Peter was in the room when she told her brother and sister that it would help. She knew that she couldn't say to them that Dad had died and that Mom was going to die, so she told them Mom and Dad won't be coming home.
Derek and Cora thought it meant they wouldn't be coming right away but then Laura had to say to them they they're going to heaven and that is when they realized that they were losing their parents.
When Talia passed away Peter and Laura were going to start planning the funeral arrangements but they found out from Roman and Talia's lawyer that had already been taken care of. It was sort of a relief for them because it would probably would have been hard for them to do it.
There was also a will prepared. The lawyer said that the house and money would be left to Laura, Derek, and Cora. As for who would be taking care of Derek and Cora, the person chosen to be their guardian was Peter. It was a shock to him because even though he is a great uncle, he hardly has the time to raise them.
Peter Hale was about twenty four at the time and his current job was working as a businessman for a marketing company which required him to mostly travel. It would have to change because now he had to be there for his nephew and niece. He knew it probably wouldn't be easy to take care of them but if he needed help he knew he could ask his older niece Laura to help him.
Also, he thought maybe they needed to get away from Beacon Hills for a while so he thought maybe he would take them to his home in New York but just for the summer, but also Peter needed to make a decision if he should move to Beacon Hills to raise Derek and Cora, or if they should stay in his apartment that was in New York.
So, one day he had the conservation with Derek and Cora if they wanted to go back home but they surprised by saying we want to live here with you in New York. He said are you sure because I wouldn't mind go back home to live in Beacon Hills. Derek's response was "Uncle Peter", I think if went back home it would be sad for us to be there since Mom and Dad aren't there.
Also, Peter said we can always go to Beacon Hills for a visit if you want. Derek and Cora said we'll think about it.
Chapter 1
Now, it's six years later
It is Tuesday, July 5, 2011
Peter is now a successful writer of fiction books. He only has been doing it for a few years. He didn't think he would become a successful author.
Derek is now sixteen and Cora is fifteen. They're also smart and have made friends with people in NY.
As for Laura she lives in New York. She didn't like being away from her sister, brother, and especially her Uncle Peter.
Right now she, Derek, and Cora are out at Central Park while their Uncle Peter is at the apartment looking at his laptop screen when the phone ring.
He answers on the second ring.
Peter: Hello!
Sara: Hello! Peter!
Peter: If you're wondering if I'm writing now you would be wrong.
Sara: Actually I think what might help is if you go somewhere else to write.
Peter: Yes, I could but...
Sara: I think if you got new inspiration from somewhere like a small town that could help you write.
Peter was thinking she wants to send me somewhere.
Sara: Check your email. I sent you a list of small towns that you could go to.
Peter: What about Derek and Cora?
Sara: They could stay at home! Their sister Laura could stay with them while you're away.
Peter: It's just I don't mind bringing them with me.
Sara: It was fun when they were younger but they're older now!
Peter: I'll look at the list of places right now.
Sara: Good! If you don't like any of those places just email me back right away and I will work on getting you other small towns to go to.
Peter: Okay! Bye!
Sara: Bye!
Seconds later the call ends and the Peter goes to log into his email to see the list of the places that Sara thinks that he should go to. When he sees the email from his publisher he clicks on it, and sees 4 places on the list, and they each include internet links. Before he clicks on one he hears Laura, Derek, and Cora, so he decides to check the sites out later. He logs out of his email and then he put the lid of his laptop down.
Peter: So, did you all have fun?
Cora: We had a great time Uncle Peter. Next time you come with us.
Peter: Okay! My publisher called today and she suggested that maybe I should go to a small town to get inspiration to write. Now, I know that I usually bring the two of you with me, but how about this time I go alone? Would that be okay?
Derek and Cora were thinking it would be great for their Uncle Peter to go alone.
Laura: If you were to go someplace else do you know how long you would be gone for?
Peter: No! I didn't even think about that yet!
Derek: Uncle Peter, when you became guardian for me and Cora you gave up a lot to take care of us. If you had to be gone longer than the summer that would be okay with us.
Laura: I could stay with them until you come back.
Peter: I know you would but it would mean more added responsibility to do.
Laura: I think I could handle it Uncle Peter.
Peter: That's not what I'm worried about! I don't mind them having parties just as long as it doesn't get out of control.
Derek: You don't have to worry Uncle Peter.
Peter: Laura, did you tell them about the time you decided to have a party when your parents went away?
Laura: Yes! I just wanted to have a small party but someone told other people to come which turned up to be a disaster.
Peter: I had to help her clean it up. It took hours to clean. Mom and Dad were surprised to come home to find the house clean.
Cora: What about you Uncle Peter? Did you do things that you weren't supposed to do?
Peter: Yes! Your grandparents were strict about your mom and me going out. On weekdays we had to be home around 10:00 p.m. On weekends we had to be home around 11:00 p.m. One time I was having so much fun that I forget my curfew so it meant I had to sneak in through my window. Your mother was waiting for me.
Derek: Our mom caught you sneaking you?
Peter: She pretended to be me when Mom checked on me. For what your Mom did I had to do what she asked me to do.
Cora: What did you have to do Uncle Peter?
Peter: Her chores! It was anytime that I didn't come home early. If she didn't help me out, I would have been caught by your grandparents. When I was able to go away to college it meant I could do whatever I wanted without getting in trouble.
Derek: So, were you more out of control in college Uncle Peter?
Peter: Not really! I was more focused on my studies. I only went to parties whenever I got stressed out.
Cora: Do you have any pictures from college that you could show us Uncle Peter?
Peter: I may somewhere! When I do find them I will show you them.
Cora: Okay!
Peter: Now, I should get back to deciding where I should go.
Cora: You want to pick a place that you feel comfortable going to?
Peter: Yes!
Cora: I think I know where you should go to.
Peter: Where do you think the place should be?
Cora: Back to Beacon Hills.
When Peter heard that answer he thought the idea wasn't bad because he had been missing that place for sometime.
Laura: She's right! It was where you grew up in and you really loved living there.
Peter: Yes, I did.
Derek: You have memories there. Maybe your book could be about Beacon Hills!
Peter thought it was a great idea but then he thought why would I write about.
Laura: You could write about growing up there!
Peter: I could or what if I did somewhere where I changed the town and the people to a fictional story.
Cora: That would be great Uncle Peter! What would you change Beacon Hills to?
Peter: I'm going to have to think about that! Now, I have to decide if I should do it as a crime story or a...
Laura: How about a romance story?
Derek: No! Why would you tell Uncle Peter to do that?
Peter: Maybe I should!
Derek was surprised by that while Laura and Cora thought it was great.
Cora: You could put us in the story.
Peter: You wouldn't mind what names I pick for you two?
Laura and Cora both said no.
Cora: You have to include Derek too!
Derek: No! I don't need to be put in the story!
Laura: The readers won't know it's you when your character will have a different name.
Derek: Well, okay!
Peter: Also, I'm open to any of you deciding your own character name. If you do pick one just send me an email with the choice of name that you have selected.
Laura: That is a great idea Uncle Peter. We get a say in picking our own character name.
Peter: Make sure it's something you like because once I finish it, I'll have you all read it before it gets sent to my publisher.
Cora: I will put a lot of thought into it. Maybe I could be Mimi Gets. Or something else.
Laura: I could be Lila Elliot. Or maybe something that makes me sound a little more smarter.
Peter: That's great! What if all of you came to Beacon Hills in August for a visit?
All of them thought it was great.
Derek: Maybe me and Cora could stay until the end of August.
Peter: That would be fine! I will make sure everything is ready when all of you arrive.
Laura: That would be great! I think I stay a week or two.
Derek: Do you think anything about the town has changed?
Peter: It probably has being that we haven't been there for six years.
Laura: Call your publisher right now and tell her where you will be going.
Peter: When I tell her she will book a flight for me right away.
Derek: You should go right away!
Peter: You're right!
Then Peter makes a call to let her know where she will be going and then she says I will take care of the flying arrangements. She also said to him if you want I can have the private jet take you tonight, and he said I don't think I will be able to leave tonight so make the arrangements for tomorrow. She says okay and then the call ends.
Peter: I'll be leaving tomorrow!
Cora: That is wonderful. So, we were thinking for dinner tonight we have Pizza and Chinese food.
Laura: We thought it would be cool to have them on the same night.
Peter: Order whatever you three want!
Derek: What about want you want?
Peter: It doesn't matter.
Cora: Cool! We already decided what we wanted to order.
Peter: Okay! I'm going to go pack!
Cora: Do you need any help Uncle Peter?
Peter: No but thanks for asking! Go have fun with Derek and Laura!
Cora: Okay!
Then Peter goes to pack for his trip back to Beacon Hills.
Chapter 2
It is Wednesday, July 6, 2011.
The time is 10:15 a.m.
Peter is in the car and seconds later it heads to the airport.
Meanwhile in Beacon Hills
The Beacon Hills Police Department
Sheriff Stilinski is working on a case when his son Stiles comes into his office.
Noah: What brings you by Stiles?
Stiles: I wanted to know if I can help!
Noah: You're not helping with the case Stiles.
Stiles: Dad, I could be very useful.
Noah: The answer is still no Stiles. I want you to go find something else to do.
Stiles: Okay Dad!
Then Stiles heads out of his dad's office seconds later.
About fifteen minutes later
Peter is on the private jet trying to relax before the jet takes off. He has always had a fear of being a plane but when he took Derek and Cora with him they always seemed to find a way to calm him down. Seconds later his cell phone starts to ring and he answers on the second ring.
Peter: Hello!
Jake: Hello Mr. Hale!
Peter: Who is this?
Jake: This is Mr. Well. I have been taking care of the family home in Beacon Hills.
Peter: Okay! Did you get my number from my publisher?
Jake: Yes! She wanted me to make sure the house was clean before you came here.
Peter: That wasn't necessary! I could have done it myself.
Jake: It really wasn't a problem. Also, she asked me to stock up on groceries for you.
Peter: I appreciate that. It will save me from having to go to the store when I arrive.
Jake: Okay! I also wanted to ask if there is anything else you would like me to do.
Peter: No! You have done enough already. What if you just come to the house to just take care of the outside?
Jake: That would be fine Mr. Hale. Do you want it to look a certain way?
Peter: No! I will let you handle all of it.
Jake: Okay! Bye Mr. Hale!
Peter: Bye!
Seconds later the call is over.
Many hours later.
When Peter finally gets to the Beacon Hill Family home it is about 1:30 p.m.
It takes him a few seconds to get out of the car and then he takes a long look at the house.
Peter: Nothing really much has changed.
Seconds later he is greeted by Jake.
Jake: Hi Mr. Hale!
Peter: Hello Mr. Well.
Jake: I just wanted to give you the keys to the house.
Peter: I appreciate that!
Then he hands the keys to Peter seconds later.
Jake: Is it just you staying here?
Peter: For the time being!
Jake: Okay! Bye Mr. Hale!
Peter: Bye Mr. Well.
Seconds later he gets his luggage out of the car before he heads to the house.
When he gets into the house he notices that nothing really much has changed.
Peter: First I need to call home to let them know I'm here.
Seconds later he makes the call and Cora answers the phone on the second ring.
Cora: Hello!
Peter: Hi Cora I just wanted to let you know I'm at the home right now.
Cora: So, has anything changed?
Peter: No! It still looks the same as it did when we all left.
Cora: We were thinking what if made some changes to it?
Peter: I would have to say that's a great idea.
Cora: Great! Should I start by getting paint samples first?
Peter: Yes, and then you, Laura, and Derek should look at the paint colors and decide which ones to use.
Cora: Okay! I'll call you in a couple of days.
Peter: That would be great! Let Derek and Laura know I called!
Cora: I will! Bye Uncle Peter!
Peter: Bye Cora!
Seconds later the call ends.
Meanwhile Stiles is just wandering around town when he hears Ms. Bart talking gossip to someone else.
Lisa: You're not going to believe whose back in town.
Juliet: So, who is back in town?
Lisa: Peter Hale!
Juliet: How did you hear he was back in town?
Lisa: It was posted on his social media page.
Juliet: So, did it say why he's back?
Lisa: Yes! He's here to start writing his new book.
Juliet: That is impressive. Do you know where he's staying at?
Lisa: The Hale House!
Juliet: How long has it been since he took his nephew and niece to live with him in New York?
Lisa: It's been about six years.
Juliet: Do you think they will move back here?
Lisa: It could be possible.
Juliet: I wonder how Derek and Cora are now?
Lisa: I wonder that too. It was sad for them to lose their parents.
So Stiles decides he wants to know more about the Hale family and then he heads back to his home to do research on them.
Sometime later
About 4:00 p.m.
Peter is looking at the family photo that is hanging in the living room. In the picture it's his sister, husband, Laura, Derek, and Cora. They're all wearing ugly Christmas sweaters. The one Roman has Santa on it, Talia has a Christmas tree, Laura has a penguin, Derek has a reindeer, and Cora has a snowman. He starts to think back to the first time he saw it.
Seven years back
It was January 2004
Peter was there for the holidays and he was about to head back to NY when his sister Talia asked me to look at a new photo she just put in the living room.
Talia: Do you like it Peter?
Peter takes a long at it and is thinking the family portrait looks great.
Talia: You don't like it?
Peter: No! It looks great sis.
Talia: Are you saying that because you don't want to disappoint my feelings?
Peter: No! I really think it looks great.
Talia: I appreciate that brother! How about for 2004 you be in the picture with us?
Peter: Do I have to wear a ugly Christmas sweater?
Talia: Yes! I get to pick it.
Peter: Well, okay!
Then Talia laughed!
Peter: Why did you laugh?
Talia: Because you agreed too easily brother!
End of flashback
Then Peter thought maybe me, Laura, Derek, and Cora could do the ugly Christmas sweater picture this year. The he thought would they want to do it?
Meanwhile Stiles found the article that told how Roman and Talia died. It wasn't something easy to read about but when he found it, he thought how sad it was for Laura, Derek, and Cora to lose their parents. Also, he found an article about the driver who caused the accident. He found out the guy was living but was fully paralyzed.
Stiles felt sorry for the guy but then he thought it was harder for Laura, Derek, and Cora to lose their parents.
Meanwhile in New York
It is about 7:03 p.m.
Laura: So, what should we do tonight?
Cora: We could watch a movie!
Derek: I can't! I made plans to hang out with Jason and Cliff.
Cora: Well, maybe it's good you're not going to be here. I think Laura and I would have you watch "The Notebook" again.
Derek: I don't mind watching it. It's just I rather watch something different.
Cora: You like watching the action movies!
Derek: Yes, but I enjoy watching horror as well.
Cora: So, what exactly are you, Jason, and Cliff going to be doing tonight?
Derek: Playing video games!
Laura and Cora both said at the time "How do you guys enjoy playing that?"
Derek: Because we think it's cool!
Laura: Of course you do! Derek, how come you're not dating right now?
Derek: Because did you see what happened in my last relationship!
Cora: Holly wasn't right for you! She wanted you to be something that you weren't!
Derek: I have to stop dating the wrong people.
Laura: Hey, I could setup with someone if you want to.
Derek: Not interested!
Laura: Are you sure because I have a friend who likes some of the interests that you have?
Derek: Last time you set me up with some the girl got obsessed with me.
Laura: Hey, it wasn't my fault that I didn't know she would be like that.
Derek: Okay! I should be back before eleven. Is there anything you would like me to get before I come home?
Laura: No! There is always enough food in the apartment to eat.
Derek: Okay!
Seconds later he heads out the door and then Laura and Cora go into the kitchen to make sundaes.
Meanwhile in Beacon Hills
Peter is on the phone with his publisher.
Sara: So, how does it feel to be back in Beacon Hills?
Peter: It feels okay.
Sara: That's good! Have you tried to write anything?
Peter: I'll see if I can do that tomorrow!
Sara: Okay! So, while you're in Beacon Hills are you just going to stay at the house?
Peter: I haven't decided yet!
Sara: Well, I hope when you're not writing you will go enjoy yourself.
Peter: This will be new for me again. When I decide to go explore the town again I will be reminded of the memories that were here. It will be sad when I realize those were memories from the past. Now, that I'm back in Beacon Hills I have to start making new memories. I think my sister Talia would want me to do that.
Sara: Yes, she would. She wouldn't want you to be unhappy Peter. Is she the reason you didn't want be in a serious relationship with anyone?
Peter: No! It's just when I had to be responsible for Derek and Cora I just put them first before anything else. If I were to get involved with someone it's important to me that they know that my nieces and nephew are important to me. If the person just wants to date me and doesn't want to know Laura, Derek, and Cora, then I would know that the person isn't the right person for me to be with.
Sara: Impressive! Has there ever been someone that you were interested in dating?
Peter: There was once but once I told her I wanted to date her she laughed at me. She said why would I date someone who is such a geek?
Sara: Oh, how awful that must have been for your hear to that?
Peter: It did hurt but I guess it taught me that I need to find someone who is going to like me for who I am completely, and what is most important is the person who I has date has to be willingly to know my nieces and nephew.
Sara: Do you think it's possible that while you're back in Beacon Hills you'll meet someone new that you could consider dating?
Peter: Even if I did I'm not staying in Beacon Hills permanently.
Sara: Would you consider moving back there?
Peter: I only would if Derek and Cora wanted to.
Sara: Are they going to come to Beacon Hills this summer?
Peter: Yes!
Sara: Well, if all of you agree to stay there then you continue to date the person because you wouldn't be leaving to go back to New York.
Peter: I'm going to say bye now!
Sara: Okay! Also, I think I should plan an event in Beacon Hills for you.
Peter: Don't do that!
Sara: You never have done a lecture in Beacon Hills. It might be fun to consider that.
Peter: I might but just not right away.
Sara: Okay! Bye Peter!
Peter: Bye!
Seconds later the phone calls ends.
Chapter 3
Many hours later
It is Thursday, July 7, 2011.
The time is 11:15 a.m.
Cora and Derek are discussing what should be done with the house.
Derek: I think there a lot of things that could be done.
Cora: I think we need to start by getting paint samples.
Derek: That is a great idea Cora.
Cora: Derek, do you ever think about Mom and Dad?
Derek: All the time!
Cora: Do you remember how bad Mom was at baking?
Derek: Yes! Remember all the times she burned the cookies and we would say you'll do better next time.
Cora: I do! She got a little bit better. It's Uncle Peter whose the better baker.
Derek: He just enjoys doing it so much. Maybe you and me should learn to bake.
Cora: How hard could it be? All we really can go is follow directions if we buy Duncan Hines Cake Mix.
Derek: That would be fine. Maybe we could try this weekend baking things.
Cora: That would be fine.
Derek: Do you remember when she made us wear the ugly Christmas sweaters?
Cora: Yes, but you know I didn't mind wearing it so much.
Derek: Don't tell Laura or Uncle Peter, but I didn't mind it either.
Cora: You can be such a tough guy to your friends but deep down you're a teddy bear.
Derek: Cora, I thought I told you not to call me that.
Cora: Yes, but you just are too adorable brother!
Derek: Cut it out Cora.
Cora: I call you a teddy bear because you're just a softie under that tough guy exterior.
Derek: I don't like to show that side to anyone except my family.
Cora: Well, that might change if you allow yourself to show that to someone who means a lot to you like your family.
Derek: Yeah, like that will happen.
Meanwhile in Beacon Hills
Peter is up early. He wanted to get a start on writing.
Now, he is just staring at the screen wondering how he should start but nothing is coming to him. He is thinking is his head how come this is so hard? Maybe I need to get out of the house to think. Then he thought being that I don't have a car but then he remembered they were bicycles in the garage. He then heads to the garage where he finds the bicycles.
Peter: I hope I can remember how to ride. It's been years since I've ridden one!
He decides to use the green bike that was his sister's.
Meanwhile in town
Stiles is talking to Lydia.
Lydia: So, Peter Hale is back in town?
Stiles: I think I forgot about the Hale family.
Lydia: It was six years ago at the same time your mother passed away.
Stiles: I think when my mom died I took it really hard that nothing else seemed to matter to me.
Lydia: Of course nothing would have. Your Mom meant a lot to you. You thought it was unfair that she was taken away from you too soon. You wish you'd had more time with her.
Stiles: Of course I did! After my Mom died my dad wasn't dealing with it okay. Somehow I stepped up and decided to take care of him. I think I was afraid to lose him.
Lydia: Well, you're lucky to still have him.
Stiles: I know! Do you know I asked him if I could help him with the current investigation that is happening now. He told me to stay out of it.
Lydia: Well, he is right. I also think he asked to stay out of it because he doesn't want you to get hurt.
Stiles: Well, okay! I just wish there was something fun to do in town.
Lydia: Well, what if we plan a party?
Stiles: That is a great Lydia.
Lydia: Cool! Now, we have to decide when to have it?
Stiles: How about at the end of July?
Lydia: That is a great idea. That will give us more time to decide how to do the party.
Stiles: So, what should we start with first?
Lydia: What the theme should be?
Stiles: I don't know! How about doing a Murder Mystery Party them?
Lydia: Stiles, you're a genius! It will be about solving a murder.
Stiles: Yes, but wouldn't we have to decide who will play the parts?
Lydia: Which shouldn't be hard to do? Being that we're throwing it we shouldn't play the killer.
Stiles: Okay! So, who will be invited?
Lydia: Well, first I think we should invite Peter Hale and his nieces and nephew.
Stiles: Laura, Derek, and Cora didn't come.
Lydia: They haven't come yet but Peter Hale will let them know about it.
Stiles: Okay! We have to invite Scott and Allison, Isaac, Erica and Boyd.
Lydia: You're forgetting Jackson!
Stiles: Is that enough people for the murder theme?
Lydia: It is if we decide to do a small party. Now, what about what to serve?
Stiles: Anything catered!
Lydia: Another perfect idea Stiles.
Stiles: What else should we do?
Lydia: I think all of us should dress in costume.
Stiles: Do you think people will dress up?
Lydia: They have to! Now, we have to decide what time period the Murder Mystery Party should be set in.
Stiles: That shouldn't be so hard to decide.
Lydia: No! I will take care of that and of the invites. I want everything to be perfect.
Stiles: Of course you do. Maybe we should have a special drink to serve at the party.
Lydia: Yes! That would be very creative to do.
Meanwhile Peter is finding it is easy for him to ride, but he has also decided not to give up.
Five minutes later
Peter finds himself in town looking at where to go and that is when he decides the library because maybe he could look at other books to decide how to write his new book.
A few minutes later he is at the Beacon Hills Public Library. He makes sure the bike is secured before he heads in.
Little does in the know that someone he knew a long time ago comes over to talk to him.
Diane: Well, hello Peter!
Peter: Diane! What are you doing here?
Diane: I work here Peter. So, how has your life been in New York?
Peter: It's been good! Why do you ask?
Diane: Well, I was wondering if you're seeing anyone?
Peter: The answer is no.
Diane: That's good. How about I take you out for dinner?
Peter: I would have to decline.
Diane: You still have no interest in dating me?
Peter: No!
Diane: I don't understand why! I thought you and I would be great dating.
Peter: I have to disagree. You and I don't have the same interests.
Diane: How can you say that when we share something in common?
Peter: Oh, do you mean being the fact my family has money?
Diane: Yes!
Peter: Having money means nothing to me.
Diane: How can you say that?
Peter: Because money doesn't bring happiness.
Diane: Actually I have to disagree.
Peter: I have something else to do right now!
Then he walks away from her and she was thinking I will make you mine Peter Hale.
Meanwhile Lydia is on the phone with Allison.
Allison: I would love to help you with the party.
Lydia: That is great. So, how are you and Scott doing?
Allison: We're doing great!
Lydia: That's wonderful. How are your parents?
Allison: My mom has a new boyfriend. She went away with him for the weekend.
Lydia: So, what about your dad?
Allison: My dad is gone for the weekend. He wanted to be by himself.
Lydia: Why?
Allison: He likes to go when he wants time to think.
Lydia: Okay! So, why isn't he dating anyone?
Allison: I don't know! I mean he could date if he wanted to but I think for the time now he just wants to be single.
Lydia: Maybe! So, do you hear that Peter Hale is back in town?
Allison: No! How did you find out?
Lydia: Stiles told me!
Allison: Why is he back in Beacon Hills?
Lydia: He's here to write a book!
Allison: So, he didn't bring Derek and Cora with him?
Lydia: No!
Allison: Well, maybe they made plans to do so something else for the summer.
Lydia: They could but I hope they come to Beacon Hills. It would be great to see what they look like now.
Allison: I guess it would for you since we didn't move here until a few years ago.
Lydia: I remember their parents. My mom told me that were so generous in giving money to charities.
Allison: Do you have a picture of the family?
Lydia: No, but maybe we can ask Peter Hale to show us pictures of them?
Allison: Do you think we should! He's here to write to book and do you think it would be fair for us to show up uninvited?
Lydia: I don't think he would mind if we showed up brining something.
Allison: Yes, that could work because he did come back to Beacon Hills so we can show up and say we brought you something to welcome you back to being in Beacon Hills.
Meanwhile in New York
Laura: I have to do some errands. Do you want to come with me?
Cora: Yes! Where were you planning to go?
Laura: I was thinking anywhere.
Cora: Cool! Derek and I want to try learning to bake this weekend.
Laura: What made you two decide you wanted to bake?
Cora: We were thinking about the times Mom baked.
Laura: Oh, yes I remember. She was an okay baker.
Cora: Yes! She was determined not to give up.
Laura: Do you remember how many times it took her to like the way she make those vanilla cupcakes?
Cora: More than ten!
Laura: Well, the reason she improved was because of Uncle Peter. If it wasn't because of him showing her what she did wrong she wouldn't have gotten it right.
Cora: You know what I miss is when we would have food fights with Mom and Uncle Peter.
Laura: That was so cool. It was also great when we would movie night too. Mom would watch Disney movies with us while Uncle Peter didn't really care to watch.
Cora: I think he liked to watched Disney movies with us.
Laura: What makes you think that?
Cora: Cause from time to time I have heard him singing songs from the movies.
Laura: So, he's the kind of guy who doesn't want to admit that he likes watching them.
Cora: I guess so!
Laura: Well, we have to get going to the store. I have something planned later with a friend of mine.
Cora: Okay! Should we ask Derek to come?
Laura: He's not here. He left in a hurry!
Cora: I wonder where he went.
Laura: To enjoy having fun by himself!
Then the both of them head out of the apartment.
Some hours later
Beacon Hills
It is about 2:30 p.m.
Peter is back at the house. He sees there is a note tapped at the door and he goes to see what it says seconds later.
Dear Mr. Hale;
You are invited to attend a party at my house for Saturday, July 9, 2011. It starts at 7 p.m. tomorrow. It would be great for you to come.
Attached are the directions to my house.
Sincerely,
Kelly Cash
Peter is thinking how did she know I was back in town unless my publisher told. The he thought I haven no choice but to show up. If I don't show up it will look bad for me.
Meanwhile in New York
It is about 5:31 p.m.
Laura is heading out when Derek returns home.
Cora: So, what did you do today brother?
Derek: I was at the library.
Cora: Why would you go to the library when you could read here?
Derek: Because I have a job as a tutor.
Cora: When did you get a job?
Derek: I thought it would be helpful to tutor students who have a hard time studying.
Cora: So, you're only needed when they call you.
Derek: It depends on how many I'm allowed to tutor for the day.
Cora: Okay! So, I went out with Cora and I bought a couple boxes of cake mix.
Derek: Why a couple? I thought we would only need one.
Cora: Well, I figured if we messed up we could always have a backup box to try again.
Derek: Okay! What flavors did you get?
Cora: Devil's Food Cake, Dark Chocolate Fudge, and Lemon Supreme.
Derek: Great choices!
Cora: It wasn't easy but I wanted to pick flavors that we like.
Derek: I think you picked Lemon Supreme because you know that Laura likes to eat Lemon cake sometimes.
Cora: Of course! I also got frosting.
Derek: Why would you get frosting? You know I hate that stuff?
Cora: I'm only going to put frosting on half of the cake if it comes out right.
Derek: Okay!
A few hours later
Beacon Hills
It is about 4:30 p.m.
Peter is thinking about tidying up the house when his cell rings seconds later. He picks it up on the second ring.
Peter: Hello!
Sara: I have some great news!
Peter: What is it?
Sara: I'm coming to Beacon Hills!
Peter was shocked but then he thought the reason she is coming down has to be because she has done something.
Sara: I will be there in two weeks!
Peter: You did something?
Sara: Actually, I heard from your niece Laura that you wanted to do something new to the house so I was thinking I could bring my interior decorator to look at it.
Peter: I don't know why she would call you.
Sara: Well, she needed someone to help so she called me!
Peter: I don't need an interior decorator to come here.
Sara: Yes, you do! All she is going to do to let you know what she thinks needs to be done.
Peter: So, she's not going to be the one decorating the house or deciding what paint colors should be used for the rooms?
Sara: No! I made it clear to her that you and your nieces and nephews will be deciding that.
Peter: Okay!
Sara: Great! So, have you decided how your book will be written?
Peter: I think I'm going to do a romance book!
Sara was surprised to hear that!
Peter: My nieces thought it would be great to do.
Sara: Oh, it would be great to do. So, any ideas on where you want to set the town in?
Peter: I want the town to be something inspired by Beacon Hills.
Sara: Okay! What about the characters?
Peter: I have three that will be inspired by my nieces and nephew.
Sara: I like that you want to use them in the story.
Peter: I'm giving them the choice of deciding their character name.
Sara: That is wonderful Peter. So, what about the main characters?
Peter: Well, I remember you said romance has to be inspired by either you being in a relationship with someone or creating characters by someone you knew was in a relationship.
Sara: So, which direction are you going for?
Peter: Well, I was thinking what if the main character never told the person he was interested in how he felt?
Sara: That would be better! So, was there someone you never told that you had feelings for?
Peter: Yes! It happened in college. We were just friends but it got to a point where I realized I wanted it to be something but...
Sara: What happened?
Peter: When I realized I had feelings for my friend it was a surprise and I thought I should tell him how I felt. I had a speech prepared but I never told him in person because a friend of mine told me that he was getting married to someone else.
Sara was shocked by what Peter told her.
Peter: I was shocked by the news but I called him to wish him congratulations and he said thanks. He told me his girlfriend was finally ready to get married. She wanted him, her, and their daughter to be a family.
Sara was shocked to find out that the guy friend Peter had feelings for had a kid.
Peter: She was born when they were sixteen!
Sarah: So, he was okay with wanting to be responsible for someone at the age.
Peter: It was how his parents taught him to be. His father wanted them to get married but he just wasn't ready for that yet. He wanted to finish high school and college before they got married. His girlfriend Vicki was okay with that.
Sara: So, how old was he when they got engaged?
Peter: About twenty!
Sara: Wow! So, were you at their wedding?
Peter: I wanted to but a family emergency came up. Chris was very understanding about it, and he said tell your family I'm thinking of them and I said okay.
Sara: So, have you remained in contact with him?
Peter: I did but when my sister and my brother in-law died I stopped being in contact with him. I think when I found out I was made guardian for Derek and Cora I just put them first before everything else. I thought maybe it wouldn't be hard taking care of my nephew and niece but I was so wrong about that. There were a lot of things I had to learn about raising kids. I even learned how to sew.
Sara: That is wonderful that you know how to sew.
Peter: It is.
Sara: So, does your family know about your feelings for Chris?
Peter: I never told them! I wanted to do but I just didn't want to put himself through the pain of talking about it.
Sara: That's okay! You had the right to decide if you wanted to talk about it or not.
Peter: Thanks for be so understanding about it.
Sara: You're welcome! So, did your feelings for you Chris ever go away?
Peter: I thought they had but there are times where they come up unexpected.
Sara: Peter, I think it means you need to find out for sure whether or not he does have feelings for you.
Peter: No! I don't think I could put myself through that again!
Sara: You have too! If you don't you're going to have to spend the rest of your life living with it being unresolved.
Peter: Even if I wanted to find him I wouldn't even know where to start.
Sara: I will take care of it for you.
Peter: You don't have to!
Sara: I want to! Now, tell me what his full name is.
Peter: It's Chris Argent.
Sara: Okay! I will call you to let you when I have the information that you need.
Peter: What do I owe you for doing this?
Sara: Nothing! I'm doing this as your friend!
Peter: Okay! Bye!
Sara: Bye!
Seconds later the call ends.
The time goes bye
It is about 7:30 p.m.
Peter is going back to writing on the computer and suddenly something comes up to him. I should start with when we met, to how we become friends, how I wanted it to be something more, and to when I let the one I be with be with someone else. Now, what should my main fictional male name be.
Title of Book:
Chapter 1
Adam Hawthorne is about eighteen, he is attending Columbia College in New York. He is indeed handsome with brown hair and brown eyes. For his first day of class he has decided to wear a blue t-shirt and blue jeans. He looks at the time and realizes that if he doesn't leave now he is going to be late.
As he is running to make his class on time he bumps into someone and they both fall down at the same time.
Adam: I'm so sorry!
Christina: It's okay! Here, let me help you up.
Adam: No! I should be the one helping you up!
Christina: So, you're a gentleman!
Adam: Yes, I am!
So, he helps her up seconds later. A few seconds later he sees her face which he happens to think is pretty.
Christina: What is your name?
Adam: Adam Hawthorne!
Christina: It is nice to meet you Adam Hawthorne. My name is Christina Zeus. I will see you around.
Adam: See you around too!
Seconds later he heads to the class.
Then Peter thinks this is coming to a good start. Then he thought I didn't decide how long the book would be. Maybe I should do a shorter book instead of a long one because of the fact I transferred schools because I couldn't be around the person when I make the decision to let them be with someone else.
Chapter 4
Many hours later
It is Friday, July 8, 2011
Beacon Hills
The time is 9 a.m.
Peter is about to get back to writing when he hears the doorbell rings. He goes to answer it seconds later to find a young woman carrying something.
Lisa: Hello Mr. Hale.
Peter: Hello! Who are you?
Lisa: My name is Lisa Well.
Peter: Are you Mr. Well's wife?
Lisa: No! I'm his sister and a fan of yours.
Peter: I appreciate you saying that! So, why exactly are you here?
Lisa: I decided to make you cookies for you.
Peter: How did you know I was back in town?
Lisa: It was on one of your social media sites.
Peter: Okay! Do you want to come in?
Lisa: I can't! I have to get going to work but here take the cookies!
He takes the cookies from her seconds later.
Lisa: Have a great day Mr. Hale!
Peter: You too! Bye!
Lisa: Bye!
Seconds later she heads to the car and Peter heads back into the house carrying the cookies and then he closes the door.
A little while later
It is about 10 a.m.
Peter finds a couple of food baskets and he wonders who are these first.
When he checks to see who sent them he finds out they're from his publisher and he wonders why would she send me these and thinks she probably sent them because she wants to make sure I'm eating.
Seconds later he makes a call to her and she answers the phone on the third ring.
Sara: Hello!
Peter: Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for sending the food baskets.
Sara: You're welcome! If you need me to send anything else just ask.
Peter: I will!
Sara: So, were you able to write anything?
Peter: Yes, I did! I even picked the names for the main characters.
Sara: What did you pick?
Peter: Adam Hawthorne and Christina Zeus!
Sara: Impressive! I like the last name you picked for Christina.
Peter: I'm glad you like it.
Sara: What about where it takes place?
Peter: I'm thinking in New York.
Sara: Cool! What college did you pick?
Peter: Columbia University!
Sara: Not bad Peter!
Peter: I also have decided it will be a short book instead of a long one.
Sara: That's okay! I have someone I hired to find out where you friend Chris Argent is.
Peter: Did the person you hired tell you how long it would take to get the information?
Sara: Not long! How about I call you on Saturday to let you know whether or not I got the information?
Peter: That would be fine!
Sara: Oh, I forgot to mention one more thing. Would you consider writing a book with journal entries?
Peter: About what?
Sara: I know that the book is supposed to be fictional but what if you included things in there that were true that only Chris would know about.
Peter: Do you think that would be a great idea?
Sara: Yes! Would you consider it?
Peter: I'll think about it.
Sara: Okay! Bye!
Peter: Bye!
Seconds later the call is over.
Meanwhile in New York
It is 1:04 p.m.
Laura is at work while Derek and Cora are at the apartment looking at paint samples.
Cora: I like the aqua color, the lavender color, and the emerald green.
Derek: I like the sky blue color, the lite gray colors, and the cinnamon red.
Cora: I think we picked great choices.
Derek: I agree! Do you want to go see a movie tonight?
Cora: I think we should go see the new "Twilight movie.
Derek: I'll go find out what times it is playing at.
Cora: Cool! I wouldn't mind going to see it in the afternoon.
Derek: Okay! I will check to see what afternoon times are available.
A few minutes later
Cora: Let's go see it at 3 p.m.
Derek: Maybe after the movie we can stop to get takeout.
Cora: That would be great!
Meanwhile in Beacon Hills
Peter is back to writing on the computer.
Adam's Hawthorne's day of classes was great. He met a new friend named Conner Field, a guy who was a little bit taller and more of a handsome face. Conner was nice to introduce Adam to his girlfriend Sophia Waters, a beautiful girl with long wavy blonde hair and blue eyes.
Conner: We're going out to a party later. Would you like to go?
Adam: I don't know!
Conner: Just come for a little bit!
Adam: Okay!
Conner: I'll give you the address!
Seconds later he writes down the address and then he hands it to Adam seconds later.
Adam: Thanks!
Conner: No problem!
Adam: Should I bring something?
Conner: There's no need! My friend is taking care of everything.
Adam: Okay! What time does the party start at?
Conner: About 8 p.m.
Adam: Okay!
Seconds later Adam heads back to his dorm room to start doing the homework for class.
When it was about 7:30 p.m. Adam was on his way to the party.
About 8:05 p.m.
Clark: So, this is your first time in New York?
Adam: Yes!
Clark: What is your choice of drink?
Adam: A regular soda for now!
Clark: Are you sure that you don't want a beer instead?
Adam: Yes!
Clark: That's cool!
Adam: How long have you and Conner been friends for?
Clark: Since high school!
Adam: That's great!
Clark: Where did you used to live in before you came here?
Adam: Los Angeles!
Clark: I've thought about going there. Why would you leave?
Adam: Because as much as I like it, I've always wanted to go to New York.
Clark: That is a great decision. You will like be in New York. There is a lot of different things to do here.
Adam: That is why I wanted to come here.
Clark: Okay! So, what kind of soda do you want?
Adam: I will take anything!
Clark: Cool! I only have Coke, Pepsi, and Sprite.
Adam: I will take the Coke!
Seconds later Clark hands Adam a Coke.
Adam: Thanks!
Clark: The food should be here soon!
Adam: Would it be okay if I looked around?
Clark: That would be fine!
Second later Adam goes to look at the rest of Adam's apartment. He likes the interesting things he sees and then he hears someone said something to him.
Christina: Hi Adam!
Adam: Hi Christina!
Christina: I didn't know you were going to be here.
Adam: I didn't know until Conner invited me.
Christina: I know Conner! He's a friend of mine!
Adam: I'm only going to stay for a while!
Christina: So, you're focused on your making sure you pass your classes.
Adam: Yes!
Christina: Okay! I might want to leave early too so let me know when you're ready to leave and I'll go with you.
Adam: Are you sure? You can stay longer if you want!
Christina: Thanks for asking but I'm also kind of person who is focused on making sure I get good grades.
Adam: Okay!
So, for a few hours Adam was having funny at the party. He got to talk with interesting people who had traveled the summer before they started college. It was about 10:05 p.m. when he and Christina left to go back to the dorms.
Christina: Did you have fun tonight?
Adam: I did!
Christina: That's great! Hey, would you be okay with us being study partners?
Adam: I would be fine with it.
Christina: Cool! I'll arrange a time for us to meet at.
Adam: That would be cool!
Peter decides to end it there for now so he can think how much longer he wants to write for chapter one before he moves on to chapter two. He thinks if I'm going to do a shorter book, I have to be careful not to write so much for one chapter.
It is about an half an hour later for Peter to decide he will probably have to leave stuff out so the book doesn't wound up long.
Then he goes back to the writing on the computer and he continues to write for an hour and half before he decides to stop.
Peter: I wonder if I should send my publisher what I've written so far and see what she thinks of it.
Seconds later he makes a call to his publisher but she doesn't answer so he leaves a voicemail for her after the beep.
Some time later
New York
It is about 7 p.m.
Laura, Derek, and Cora are eating Mexican food.
Cora: Do you think Uncle Peter has been able to write anything for his new book?
Laura: I hope so!
Derek: What if we have a party this weekend?
Cora: I don't know!
Laura: How about it next weekend?
Derek: Maybe that would be better! To plan a party takes time to do.
Cora: Maybe it won't if it's a small party.
Derek: Yes, but only if our friends would be here to make it.
Laura: So, if they already have plans then there wouldn't be sense to have the party.
Derek: Exactly!
Laura: I forget to mention I called Uncle Peter's Publisher to help us with the house.
Derek: Does Uncle Peter know?
Laura: I would think so. She is going to have her interior decorator look at the house.
Cora: Is she going to do anything to the house?
Laura: No! I told Sara that we and Uncle Peter will be making those decisions.
Derek: That's good!
Cora: Derek, maybe we should go back to Beacon Hills before August!
Derek: I would be okay with that!
Cora: Good! I also think we should keep it a secret from Uncle Peter.
Laura: Cora, I don't think that's a good idea. You know how Uncle Peter doesn't like surprises.
Cora: Yes, but it would be fun to surprise him. Please don't tell him.
Laura: Okay!
Cora: Thanks Laura! I owe you for this!
Laura: So, when exactly were you thinking of going back to Beacon Hills?
Cora: July 21!
Laura: Okay! You two better make sure you have everything you need before you leave for Beacon Hills!
Derek: I will!
Cora: Me too!
Chapter 5
It is Saturday, July 10, 2010.
New York
The time is 10:30 a.m.
Sara: So, were you able to get the information?
Tim: Yes, I was!
Sara: That's good!
Tim: Chris Argent is living in Beacon Hills with his daughter at a apartment building off of Commerce Way. They live in #402.
Sara: Do you have any information about his wife?
Tim: Victoria Argent is separated from Chris Argent. They've been separated for a few months.
Sara: My friend is going to be grateful for this information.
Tim: I also have a picture of the apartment building and a phone number.
Sara: That is great too. I really appreciate you helping me out right away.
Tim: I didn't mind! You've always been a great friend to me.
Sara: Thanks! Just leave the information on my desk! I have to get going to a meeting now.
Tim: Okay! Oh, I almost forget Claire is having a party next Friday.. Would you be able to come?
Sara: I should be! I'll check to make sure I have nothing on Friday. If I have nothing I will call to confirm I'm coming!
Tim: That would be great!
As Sara goes to her meeting Tim leaves the info he got on Chris Argent on Sara's desk. He heads out of her office seconds later.
Meanwhile as Cora is about to head out she sees Laura come in seconds later.
Laura: Hey! I wanted to talk to you about something before you head out.
Cora: Is this going to take long?
Laura: No!
Cora: Okay! I could spare some time.
Laura: I think we should get Uncle Peter a dog.
When Cora heard that she thought that would be a great idea since if he doesn't come right away.
Laura: So, I was thinking that we could stop at a pet store in Los Angeles before we head to Beacon Hills.
Cora: That would be great!
Laura: Great! I already talked to Derek about it, and he thinks that it would be great.
Cora: So, has it been what kind dog we'll be getting Uncle Peter?
Laura: No! I'm going to do some research right now and then I decide which are the ten favorite I like and then I ask you and Derek to help me decide which breed of dog to get?
Cora: I think you should get a dog that is trained.
Laura: You see that is useful information to know.
Cora: Okay! Do you need anything while I'm out?
Laura: No!
Cora: Cool! How about tonight we watch horror?
Laura: That would be great! How about we do "A Nightmare On Elm Street" movie marathon?
Cora: That would be great!
Laura: Cool!
Then Cora heads to the store and Laura heads to her laptop to start researching dog breeds.
Sometime later
Beacon Hills
It is about 11 a.m.
Peter decides to leave his cell phone at the house. He is going to go for a walk for a little bit. Little did he know it was his publisher and friend calling. She leaves a voicemail for him after the beep.
About an hour later
Peter return home to check to see if he has any voicemails on his phone and he finds one and he decides to listen to it.
Sara: Hey, I thought I would catch you but I guess I didn't. I'm going to email the information to you about where your friend Chris Argent is living now. Call me in a few days. Bye!
As he is about to head to his laptop he hears a knock on the door and goes to find out whose there, and that is when he finds two young teenage girls waiting outside. One has red hair while the other one has dark brown hair.
Peter: Can I help you two?
Lydia: Hi I'm Lydia Martin and this is my friend Allison Argent.
When Peter heard that one of the last girl's name was Argent, he was wondering if she was related to the Argents.
Allison: We just came to welcome you back to Beacon Hills!
Peter: Come in!
Seconds later they both come into the house and seconds later Peter closes the door.
Peter: Can I get you two anything?
Lydia: No!
Allison: I'm good!
Peter: Okay! You said your last name was Argent right?
Allison: Yes!
Peter: I knew someone whose last name was Argent and I was wondering if you were related to them in someway?
Allison: My parents are Chris and Victoria Argent.
That is when Peter realized that Allison was the daughter that Chris told him about in college.
Peter: I met your dad in college!
Allison: You're the Peter my father talks about? (She said in a surprising tone)
Peter was surprised that Chris had mentioned him to his daughter!
Allison: He mentioned that you two were great friends and about the accident and how you become the guardian to Derek and Cora.
Peter: We were great friends! I stopped keeping in touch with him because I had other things on my mind.
Allison: I know I didn't know you or any of your family personally but I want to say sorry for your loss.
Peter: I appreciate that! So, how long have you and your parents lived in Beacon Hills for?
Allison: A few years!
Peter: You like it here?
Allison: Yes!
Peter: Good!
Lydia We brought you something!
Peter: That is very sweet! You two are the second to bring me something!
Lydia: Who was the first?
Peter: Lisa Well!
Lydia: The town gossip!
Peter: Did you find out from her that I was back in town?
Lydia: No! Our friend Stiles overheard Ms. Well talking to her friend about you.
Peter: Her husband has been the caretaker for the Hale house.
Allison: So, how do you feel about being back in Beacon Hills?
Peter: I thought when I came back things would have changed but really nothing hasn't.
Allison: There's also another reason we're here. Lydia is going to have a party at her house and she wants you, Derek, and Cora to come.
Peter: When exactly is the party?
Allison: In August!
Peter: Derek and Cora will be here in August. I will let them know about it.
Lydia: It's going to be a themed party.
Peter: What kind of party?
Lydia: A Murder Mystery one!
Peter was just thinking about it, and Lydia thought maybe it wouldn't be something that he was interested in going to.
Allison: Maybe we should make it a different kind of party.
Peter: No! I actually think it would be fun to go to.
Lydia: We just thought maybe when you didn't say anything...
Peter: I was just remembering that the last time I went to a themed party everything went wrong.
Allison: Can you tell us about that?
Peter: Do you have the time? I wouldn't want to keep you two here if you have something else planned to do for the day.
Allison: Not right now but there is party we're going to later. It's at Ms. Cash's house.
Peter: She invited me!
Lydia: What are the odds that you would have been invited to the same party that we're going to tonight?
Peter: I don't even know who she is. I don't want to show up not knowing anything about her.
Lydia: I know plenty about her!
Peter: Cool! Tell me after I tell you two the story about why the themed party went wrong.
Lydia: I will!
Peter: We could sit in the living room! The rest of house is still a mess but I think I'm going to make changes to it.
Lydia: Do you need an interior decorator to come here because my Mom has a friend who is one?
Peter: No! My publisher is having her decorator come here in a few weeks.
Lydia: That's fine!
Then he takes them to the living room to talk.
Peter: My friend Elliot thought it would be fun to have a themed party but he had no clue what he was going to do so he had me look at the ideas he had printed out, and he asked me to select the ones I liked the best. I never had been to a themed party but I thought how hard could it be to pick out the ones I liked the best. So, I look at it and there is ten on the list and there is only two I like. The choices were Hollywood Mystery and Sherlock Murder Mystery.
Allison: Those are great choices!
Peter: It was. I offered to help and he said how about you handle taking care of the food and drinks and I said okay.
Lydia: So, how did it wind becoming a disaster?
Peter: He wanted to wear an outfit that was different from everything else. I said it would be risky but he said you know I'm the one whose having the party. I have to look better than anyone else does.
Allison: So, what did he wound up wearing?
Peter: I think I have a picture but I didn't bring it with me. I'll ask Derek or Cora to find the box of pictures before they come here.
Allison: That would be great!
Peter: Okay! Lydia, do you know who else is going to be at the party tonight?
Lydia: I don't know! This is the first party I was asked to go to. My mom is unable to go so she asked me to go instead?
Peter: I hope I don't regret going. If it turns out to be not great I would probably just leave.
Allison: Why exactly are you going?
Peter: Because being that I'm a known writer I'm expected to show up at something that's going on.
Allison: You probably get this a lot but do you like having the attention from people?
Peter: I like that I have fans who like my work and I like interacting with them.
Lydia: That is a great answer.
Peter: Thanks! So, for this Murder Mystery party have you decided what time era it will be set in?
Lydia: No!
Peter: That's good! You should really make sure you like what you pick.
Lydia: I will put that into consideration.
Allison: My father didn't mention how you exactly met so could you tell us?
Peter: Not at all! It was during my junior year of college. A friend of mine who was living off campus had a Halloween party and I wasn't sure I was going to go. I've always been the type of person who like to get their schoolwork done. If I didn't get it done it would drive me crazy. I decided to get a costume but I didn't know what I wanted to be. I didn't want to get a costume that was over the top. I wanted something very simple but for me to decide what to be wasn't easy.
Lydia: It never is.
Peter: I didn't want to get a costume that would make me uncomfortable so I settled for being a vampire but I hated wearing the fangs. It was so uncomfortable to wear them.
Allison: I was the Bride of Frankenstein one year. It wasn't easy to put the headpiece on.
Peter: My friend was a pirate and I thought why didn't I just pick that and the reason was because I wanted to be something that I'm into liking and since I loved horror movies I thought vampire.
Allison: I happened to like horror movies too! My dad hates them!
Peter: Yes, I remember him mentioning it. As for how I met your Dad I had to rescue him from my friend Olivia. She likes to talk to a lot but mostly it's about herself. So, when she started to talk to him about politics which I really don't like to talk to about I came up unexpected and said "Olivia, why are you talking to him about politics? Talk to him about what he likes and she said okay. Sometime later your Dad thanked me and then we decided to become friends.
Allison: That is a great story. You probably have other stories about my Dad!
Peter: Yes, I do!
Allison: Because he doesn't like to talk about himself!
Peter: It's probably because of how he was raised!
Allison: I think I have to agree because grandfather wants thing to be done a certain way.
Peter: How is Gerald?
Allison: Dad has kept him away! He doesn't want him to be part of our lives!
Peter: Are you okay with that?
Allison: Yes! I think my Dad just wants me to be raised different instead of how he was raised.
Peter: Your Dad is a great person. He may act tough but underneath he has a good heart.
Allison: You're right about him being a great person!
Peter: How about you and your parents come over for dinner next time?
Allison: Actually I should have mentioned this earlier but my parents are separated now!
When Peter heard that he was shocked by the news.
Allison: I don't really mention it to people.
Peter: I appreciate you letting me know.
Allison: So, I will make sure to mention to my Dad that you want us to come over for dinner!
Peter: Okay! Any day would be fine!
Allison: Okay!
Lydia: We have to get going now!
Peter: Okay! I'll walk you two ladies out!
Seconds later he, Lydia, and Allison get up and then they head to the front door. Peter opens the door for them.
Peter: Thanks again for stopping by. It was nice talking to both of you.
Lydia: Thanks! Oh, as for what Ms. Cash does, she writes the gossip column for the Beacon Hills Newspaper.
Peter: Thanks for letting me know.
Lydia: No problem! Bye Mr. Hale!
Allison: Bye Mr. Hale!
Peter: Bye ladies!
Then he watches the ladies head to the car and when he sees Lydia drive off that is when he closes the door.
A moment later his cell starts to ring and he answers right away.
Peter: Hello!
Sara: Hey! Did you read the email I sent you?
Peter: No!
Sara: Well, you should!
Peter: Actually I don't! You're not going to believe who stopped by today!
To Be Continued.
