Seth Clearwater simply stood there at the unexpected question from his friends.

"I said…What's her name?" Jacob reiterated. He was snickering waiting for Seth answer. This was rich.

Suddenly, Seth slammed his hands into his face. "OH CRAP!!" he exclaimed. "I…I DON'T KNOW!!" He explained to the others. "I didn't realize that…" He stopped tensing and slumped his shoulders. Not relaxed, more like tired. He seemed to have given up all hope on the world. "…how could I not know her name?" He asked himself.

"Dude…come on Seth, it's not the end of the world." Jacob said in attempt to spark the young boys will to live.

"Yes!! Yes it is! Of course it is!! Everything's wrong! Completely wrong! Oohhh…"Seth said, slumping onto the ground and crossing his legs, He then continued by staring aimlessly at the ground.

"Hmm…How about this…" Embry said, looking towards the pool where a chattering Karlie was talking to a few girls who appeared to be her own age, maybe older, maybe younger. Embry Started over, inviting himself to sit beside Karlie on the edge of the pool.

"Hello there." Embry started, slightly interrupting the girls' conversation. However, Karlie's speaking buddies didn't seem to mind to much, once they say the attractive, muscular older boy sitting beside them in nothing but swim trunks, they're mouths immediately shut.

"HI!" one girl in the water said, a little over eagerly.

"What's up?" asked another, who acted much cooler as she kicked the first girl underwater.

"Nothing much, thanks." He replied, then turned his sights on Karlie, who was actually a little uninterested. "And how might you be?" He asked, looking at her.

Karlie simply looked at him. "Fine." she said, coldly, before turning her head away.

Embry made a slight chuckling rumble, silently sending chills up the two other girls' spines. "It's ok. I totally understand. You don't really want to talk to me. I just wanted to ask you some questions about your sisters. My friends were just curious about some stuff. I figure, if you just tell me, you don't have to talk to all of us." She said in a suave and smooth voice."

Even Karlie was slightly taken off guard by the sly mannerisms Embry was displaying. "Umm…sure…whatever."

"Oh…how rude of me." Embry stated, extending his hand. "My name's Embry. Nice to meet you."

Karlie met his hand, taking it in hers and shaking it slightly. "Umm…I'm Karlie…what do you want to know."

"Come on Seth, you can't stay like this." Jacob said, trying to encourage Seth to pursue life beyond that one spot on the ground. However it was useless. Seth continued to sit there. Jacob was quickly running out of ideas, until finally he turned to Quil. "Hey…a little help would be great!"

Quil stood, though, watching Embry. "I was just wondering what Embry was saying to Seth's imprint." With that simple comment, Seth's head snapped up at if on a spring.

"HE'S DOING WHAT!?" he shouted, snatching a slight pubescent squeak that seldom made itself show. He saw Embry talking to Karlie and almost had a seizure.

Quil laughed. "Aww man…and those girls in the water are just eating his smooth routine up, man…"

As soon as it was noticed, it was over, Embry had stood, waving goodbye to Karlie and her friends and was on his was back to the others.

Seth had regained his will to live and stood, getting to make a sharp bee line to Embry. However, before he was able to get too far, Quil snagged onto his shirt. He was silent and swift, not even chancing his facial expression. When Seth had turned his face around to Quil to question his actions, Quil's spoke out first.

"She's watching…" he said, simply.

Embry had made it back, looking at his fellow wolf brethren. "Yes, feel free to call me amazing!" Embry praised himself.

"What….why?" Jacob asked, crossing his arms and given him a bewildered look.

Seth had still looked at Embry with the sight of 'oh my god' from the shock of Embry's encounter with the one person in this world who had ever made him feel like slicing his own throat for stuttering in their presence.

"Well first of all. The Lonrid girls' parents left them this house and live in California, cool right?" He asked, dancing around the serious expressions of the others. He then looked to Seth, a cheeky smirk on his face. "Second, I now know the name of young Miss Imprint."

Seth's face grew into an overbearing grin, which was still adorable nonetheless. Yes, he'd definitely regained his will to live.
