A/N: WE'RE BAAACK!
Roxy: And this time, it's going to be a bit short.
Po: Only because it's a Monday, and Monday's are horrible for BW
Me: It's true, my brain doesn't function properly until Thursday.
Lani: IT'S FRIDAY! FRIDAY! GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY!
Po: Shut up with that song!
Me: It's starting to get irritating!
Roxy: Lani, why don't you sing a new song?
Lani: Like what?
Me: Well, decide it while the others read.
Po: Yeah, Enjoy. It's short. Less suffering.
Me: Shut up!
Derek was sulking in his room, playing with the Chloe's ring. He could still remember her hurt expression like it was yesterday, even though it's been three days. Casey had tried to explain to Chloe that it was just a mistake, and that we didn't do anything, but Chloe wouldn't talk to her.
Lauren gave Derek the evil eye every second she could. Chloe didn't say anything about the breakup, but it was obvious with the way they were acting. Chloe avoided Derek and Casey as much as she could. Tori would hit Derek in the gut every time he turned a corner, and she would put down Casey every chance she got. It was hell in the house.
Someone knocked on the door, but Derek ignored it. The knock came again, and when Derek didn't answer, the door opened and Simon was there to poke his head in. He sighed at the site of his brother, and came in closing the door behind him.
"Dude, you really need to stop this." He said. Derek grunted in reply. "Seriously, how long are you going to just sit in your room in the dark?" he asked. Derek said nothing. "This is pathetic." Simon said. Derek glared at his brother.
"You try having the girl of your dream, rip your heart out, and stop all over it! Just because she jumped to the wrong conclusion, and then come back her and tell me I'm pathetic!" Derek snapped. Simon sat on the end of his bed, not fazed by his brother's outburst.
"What did happen with you and Casey?" Simon asked.
"I told you, she was helping me get through the change." He said. Simon shook his head.
"I was asking about the time at the Motel." He said. Derek nodded.
"Yeah, Casey was helping me there too. She taught me how to control myself." He said. Simon sighed, leaning against the wall.
"Isn't Chloe usually the one to help you through that?" he asked. Derek looked at the ring, and then sudden realization came over him.
"You think Chloe thought I replaced her? Found someone she thought was better at helping me get through all this wolf stuff?" he asked. Simon shrugged.
"I don't know, maybe. Have you even talked to her?" Simon asked.
"Everytime I try to, she finds a way to get away." Simon chuckled.
"Wow, you must have really screwed up." He said. Derek growled, but didn't act on it. Simon sighed again, sitting up. "Alright, get up." He said. Derek looked at him confused. "Alec is taking us out. He wants all of us kids to go. Especially you, now get up and take a shower." He said. Derek grumbled some unkindly words about Alec, but Simon ignored him.
"Come on, man. It will be nice for you to get out. Besides, you reek, and need a shower." He said. Derek threw his pillow in Simons face, knocking him back. Simon took the pillow off of his face to see Derek getting up and grabbing his towel.
(Pictures on Profile)
Alec had taken them to a little party in town. He had told them to just go in casual clothing, and they all did. Casey wore her regular black; her shirt was nice and beaded, with her jeans and her hair coming down in waves. She strangely matched Alec, where he just wore a plain black muscled T-shirt, with jeans and his black cowboy hat and boots. Drew matched him, except he wore his hair spiked up, with no hat.
Simon just had his jeans, a plain baby blue shirt, and a dark blue beanie on his head. Derek wore a nice black, buttoned up shirt, along with black jeans. Tori dolled herself up, and wore light makeup just make herself look natural, let her hair fall freely around her shoulders. She wore a black tank top with a white skirt. Chloe had her hair down as well, it started to come back to its full blond, and Tori had only applied light make up. She wore a purple dress-shirt, with black leggings.
When they got inside to the party, they had expected full out country music. There would be country music, but there were more variety. Right now, LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem was playing inside the ginormous room. It seemed to be inside a used-to-be bar, but the bar was taken out, and a stage was built in the front.
A few tables surrounding the walls, and Alec led them over to table. It was a large empty table that they all sat at, with a few extra chairs. Chloe sat as far away from Derek as she could, which ended up with Casey sitting next to him instead.
They watched as a couple people moved around on the dance floor, and a nice waiter came up to them. He looked around the same age as them, but was shorter than Simon. His auburn hair caught in his eyes, as he flipped it like a Justin Bieber would.
"What would you guys like to drink?" he asked.
"A coke for me." Alec said.
"Do you have any Shasta?" Drew asked. The boy nodded.
"Make that two." Casey said.
"Three." Simon put in.
"Just a water." Tori said, flipping her hair.
"Same." Chloe shyly said.
"Another coke." Derek said. The boy nodded, and left to get them their drinks.
LMFAO stopped playing, and a familiar country song came on next. Casey's eyes widened as she recognized the tune, and Alec chuckled. He turned to her, and wiggled her eye brows. She laughed at him, and shook her head.
"Come on, you know the moves." He said. Casey looked at the retreating people on the dance floor. She bit her lip deciding. Alec stood up, and held his hand out towards her. Casey sighed, and got up, taking his hand. Gretchen Wilson's Redneck Woman played as they got up there.
They stood next to each other, and began to line dance. The others watched them in amazement. They never realized you could look so cool dancing to a country song. Casey giggled as she bumped into Alec as he took a wrong step. They twisted to the other side, going even faster. Other people started to go up and dance along with them.
A cute red headed girl came up to their table, and pulled Simon towards the dance floor. They couldn't help laugh at Simon's expression of horror. He watched the girl, as she taught him the steps. She giggled at him, and she put her arms around him, to show him where his feet should go. Let's face it, Simon wasn't built for dancing.
Tori started to laugh at him, when Drew got up, and literally pulled her onto the dance floor. The DJ kept the song going seeing how many people were dancing. Derek looked at Chloe, who was picking at her fingers, while staring at the dancers. Derek could tell she wanted to go up there too, but was too shy to do it herself. Derek sighed, and rubbed the back of his head.
"Chloe." He said. The sound of his voice made her jump. She looked over at him. "If you want to dance, just go." He said. She shook her head, and looked down at her hands. Derek stood up, and grabbed her hand. She looked up at him shocked, but couldn't resist him.
Derek dragged her over to where Alec was, and stood on her other side. Alec taught both of them, while Casey went over to help Drew and Tori, who was surprisingly laughing at herself. Chloe finally got the just of it, and started to laugh as she danced along with everyone else. Derek couldn't help but smile at her, missing her smile and laugh.
Chloe looked up at Derek, and caught him smiling at her. Thankfully the dance had them turn so her back was towards him. She couldn't help blush at him smiling at her. She wanted to forget her feelings about him, because she knew he didn't return them. Otherwise he wouldn't have cheated on her. But she couldn't help but feel empty inside without him.
The song ended finally, and they all went back to their seats. Alec grabbed Casey from behind, making her laugh louder, and spun her around. When he put her back onto the floor, she pushed him playfully. They sat down at the table, and the boy from before gave them their drinks.
"That was actually fun." Tori said, still giggling.
"Yup, you can always find fun in dancing." Casey replied.
"Where's Simon?" Chloe asked. They all looked over, to see him talking to the red headed girl that had danced with them. They all laughed at him, seeing him get his flirt on.
"You surprised me Casey. I didn't expect you to remember how to dance." Alec teased. Casey rolled her eyes, and bumped her shoulder with Alec's. "Don't tell me, you still danced with Tuck?" he continued to tease. At the name, both Casey and Drew froze. No one would have noticed if Drew didn't choke on his drink, spitting across the table.
"Tuck?" Derek asked, remembering the name clearly. "What did you have to do with Tuck?" he demanded. Casey looked at him, a little awkward.
"They don't know?" Alec asked. Casey hit his chest, making him yelp in surprise. He rubbed his chest, looking at her confused. "What? You didn't tell that Tuck's your-" Casey hit him again. "OW! Seriously, stop doing that!" he said.
"Then shut up." She growled.
"You're what?" Chloe asked. Casey shook her head, smiling a fake smile.
"Nothing. Alec just keeps bringing up rumors." She said. No one believed her though. But they didn't really have time to ask questions, because suddenly the lights went out.
Someone screamed, and the emergency lights came on. Everyone looked around, wondering what just happened.
"Chloe?" Derek called. "Casey!" he shouted. They noticed both their chairs were empty. The music came back on, like nothing had happened. They all stood up, searching the crowd for either of them.
"Guys." Simon said, coming back to them, he was holding a note. "Check this out." He said, handing the note to Derek. He read over it, and looked at Simon.
"Where did you get this?" he asked.
"When the lights came back on there was a note stuck to the wall near my face." He explained, pointing at the piece of paper.
"Shit." Derek let out. Alec took the note, and read it.
"Come on, we need to get back to the house." He said, grabbing their stuff.
As a parting gift for you, we leave you this note. The girl will live, so don't worry. She's in good hands. We'll take really good care of her. As for the wolf, we can't say the same. She knows too much. So don't expect to hear her howl.

Me: You can all just shut it!
Roxy: We haven't received many questions. Maybe they just don't care.
Lani: But the one about Po having a girlfriend was funny.
Po: Why was it funny?
Lani: Because who in their right minds, would want to date you?
Roxy: MODED! *laughing*
