I'd like to give a big thanks to NYGirl390 for being my first review!! And also a big thanks to everyone else who reviewed, you are awesome. Know I know why authors are always asking for reviews, they are awesome.

I don't own DP, or Derek, *sniff* (bursts into tears) that pleasure belongs to the amazingly awesome Kelley Armstrong.

PS i know I say awesome a lot, but it's just what I do.

"Chloe do you want my help or not?" Tori snaps. I nod my head. "Well then I have a plan." Tori quickly pulls my head closer so she could tell me her plan.

Tori POV

"I don't think that this is going to work Tori." Chloe said I just gave her 'the look' and she stopped protesting.

"It will work because I say it will.' I replied. My plan was amazing, if I do say so myself. We were going to hit that werewolf in as many of his senses as possible. Chloe in a bikini for sight, perfume for smell and Chloe would sing for hearing. If, I mean when, this worked he wasn't going to be able to look away, what guy could? If it was me there jaws would drop, but Chloe will do fine. "Okay first things first, you need to make a list so I can go shopping and get you a bikini." Chloe just glared at me. "Okay fine, other clothes too."

"I still don't think this is a good idea" Chloe muttered. I just glared at her and told her to go make her list while I went down to the pool house.

The pool was amazing; it was all indoors and had change rooms on either side. That will work out well for us. I wander around the room until I find what I was looking for, the stereo-system. It was outdated but it would work just fine. I fiddled with the controls for a few minutes, figuring out how it worked. Note to self, buy good CD. I walked back to the house and Chloe handed me her list on her way up the stairs as Andrew walked into the room.

"Tori, there you are, we're leaving to go into to town in about 5 minutes don't be late." Andrew said. I nodded my head. Derek walked into the room sweaty from his run.

"Ewww Dog boy! Keep your sweaty, stinkiness away from me!" I yelled. He snorts, rolls his eyes and brushes past me to get up the stairs to the shower. I climbed the stairs and walked into the room I shared with Chloe to grab my jacket. I ran a brush through my riotous curls and went back downstairs to wait for Andrew and Simon.

Chloe's POV

As Tori, Simon and Andrew pulled away from the house, I was sitting on my bed contemplating my sanity. I can't believe that I'm going along with one of Tori's plans. The last one left me unconscious in a crawlspace! She's just trying to help this time. Besides what can go wrong, embarrass yourself in front of Derek? At least he would have noticed you. I get up off of my bed with a sigh. I wander into the library and grab the book on supernaturals I had been reading. I carried it over to a couch and started reading.

"Meditation and yoga can be very helpful aids to a necromancer. They help one concentrate and train the mind" I read. That could be helpful. Next I went over to one of the ancient computers and looked up various yoga and meditation exercises. A few of them didn't look very difficult so I decided to try them in the library. I spread my feet and rotated my shoulders and brought my right arm down to my left foot. I breathed in and out and held the position, I then did the opposite. I found these moves easy, so I decided to try out a harder one. I sat on the floor and tried to put my foot behind my head.

"What are you doing?" Derek asked from behind me. I jumped and fell backwards. I looked back at him from my position on the floor. He appeared to be holding back laughter.

"What does it look like?" I replied. He smirked and lifted an eyebrow.

"It looks like you're trying to break yourself in half, or tie yourself into a knot." Derek said. I glared at him and brought my leg back from behind my head.

"I'm practicing yoga, not trying to tie myself up in knots. However, they are extremely similar." I said, fighting back laughter. Derek smiled at that. Derek smiled! It was so nice; I have to make him do that more often!

"Why?" Derek asked.

"The book says that it will help with my concentration. Which is supposed to help me not summon anymore ghosts. I would really rather avoid sticking anybody else back into their dead body." I explained. He just nods I stood up and brushed myself off. "So, did you need to talk to me?" He gave me a confused look. "Why did you come to the library?"

"Oh! I came to read the supernaturals book." Derek said. I nodded and told him where I had put it. He walked over to where I had put it and picked it up, but he didn't move to go read it.

"Derek? Do you want me to leave or something?" He shook his head and moved to the couch, mumbling to himself about distractions. I waited until he sat down and started to put my foot behind my head again. I continued to practice my yoga, about 20 minutes later Derek snaps the book shut. I look over from where I was standing. His skin was flushed and his cheeks red.

"Derek are you changing again?" I asked, I dropped my position and started to walk over to him. He doesn't answer me, just continues to stare out into space with a dreamy look on his face. "Derek? Helllooo? Derek?" I say, waving my hand in front of his face and snapping my fingers. All of a sudden he blinks and grabs my hand. I jump, startled. He looks up at me. "Umm Derek? Can I have my hand back?" I whisper. He looks at our hands and lets go. "Derek are you changing? You're not acting like yourself?" I ask. I put my hand on his forehead, feeling for a fever.

"Not for a while Chloe" Derek answers as he pulls my hand from his forehead. He stands up and brushes past me. I turn to face him.

"You will come with me when you are changing right." I ask, "Because if you don't I will be extremely pissed at you and you will never hear the end of it!" He turns and looks at me, he smirks at my threat but nods his head and promises he will. "Good" I say. He rolls his eyes and leaves the room.

"Chloe! Chloe! Come here I have to show you what we bought!" Tori yelled coming up the stairs. She sounds like a seven year old. I guess shopping excites her. Pfft. What ever.
I walk into our room and close the door. "Chloe look what I bought for us!" Tori said. She stared showing me tank tops, t shirts, pants, shorts etc. After she was through with all of the outer clothes she shows me a tiny bikini.

"That's nice Tori. Now where's mine?" I ask. She snorts.

"This is yours." Tori said. I look at her dumbfounded. I snatch the bikini from her and take a closer look. It was bright blue and was, literally, just triangles held together by strings.

"I can't wear this Tori" I exclaimed, horrified at the thought. Tori smirks and rolls her eyes.

"Well you have to, you promised to do everything I said" Tori sneered. "I know that you're not happy about that but this might cheer you up" Tori said as she pulled a box from behind her back. I jump up and snatch it from her hands. I read the label and squeal.

"Hair dye? Thank you! I forgot to put it on my list! But you got it anyway! Thank you!" I say, temporarily forgetting about the bikini issue. "I'm going to go dye it right now! Are you going to come?" Tori laughs at me and nods her head. I run out of the room and dash to the bathroom. I start ripping the box to get to the directions. Tori grabs them from my hands and tells me to go get my hair wet.

Tori's POV

"Now you have to sit with that in your hair for another 20 minutes." I say, Chloe nods. We sit in silence for a few minutes.

"Tori, why are you helping me? I-I- I'm not t-t-trying to b-b-be rr-r-rrude but you used to b-b-be.. umm.. well.." Chloe stuttered.

"A big bitch" I interrupted. She looks at me and nods sheepishly. "I heard you talking to Simon a while ago; he was calling me a bitch and other names. That didn't surprise me but you didn't defend me. Don't get me wrong you shouldn't have to, but when you let someone call other people names, it has to be bad. I know that you're the only reason I didn't get left behind back in Buffalo," Chloe tried to interrupt me but I just put my hand over her mouth and continued. "I decided that I didn't want to push my luck anymore. I don't want to get left behind, so I'm going to try to be more pleasant" I removed my hand from Chloe's mouth and she stared at me. It looked like she was at a loss for words. "You can talk now you know." I joked.

"I don't know what to say." Chloe breathed. "I would never leave you behind Tori, no matter how mad I am." She said. I nodded and looked at my watch.

"It's time to rinse your hair dye out Chloe." I said as I pushed her toward the tub.

Derek's POV

i walk into the library and there is Chloe, with her foot behind her head. What the hell? What is she doing? Does it matter? She looks amazing. "What are you doing" I ask. Chloe jumps and ends up lieing on her back looking up at me. She explains herself and soon enough I'm smiling. Me, smiling. What is going on with me? You know exactly whats going on, you have for weeks. She IS YOUR MATE! Stop denying it! Chloe then asks me what i came here for I answer and I walk over to the book. "There is no way I'm going to get any reading done. Not with you here distracting me." I mumble. Oh well we get to be near Chloe. I open the book and pretend to read while I watch Chloe.

Thank you for reading! I'm amazed at how fast I'm posting this chapter, and, just so you know, I don't think I will always be updating this fast. I'm likely only do small amounts from Derek's POV until I feel that I can write him better. Do you think that he sounds stalkerish? Not trying to make him sound that way at all. Anyway, Thanks again for reading and please review. I would love to hear your thoughts on my writing.
