Chapter 12
To Formal
Or Not To Formal
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here! And we are nearing the end for season 1 of 'Altered Life'!
Tuesday, February 15th 2011
Several days had passed, days that included quite a few interesting occasions since the Cyclones had won their match along with the group learning about what had happened between Kate and Peter some years ago, a confrontation that also occurred between Harley and Peter in her mom's hospital room, and Jackson learning of a stunning secret from the past connected to his origins. Origins he'd long wanted to know of and despite the intentions behind it by Talia, she had unknowingly caused him to desire the Bite even more since he pretty much felt it was his birthright. A birthright she denied him cause she felt he wasn't ready for such a gift and was also honoring the request of his dead mother that he not be given the Bite in order to live a more normal life. Something that had made the boy quite angry over the stupid sentimentality of the whole thing. It also made him want to find his real father but at the same time he didn't on account of the fact the man was a psycho killer seeking to fulfill a vengeance vendetta. Talia had also told the boy quite firmly that no other Alpha within Beacon Hills would give him the Bite either as per her requests. Another thing that had added to his anger over the whole thing.
Scott and Kira however had become two very sickeningly sweet teenagers around one another ever since the day they officially got together in the comic book shop she ended up getting a job in. Something the young girl was still rather surprised about and was absolutely loving the opportunity! Her and Scott also liked to act really goofy in pictures or videos and after convincing him to do it, also finally got her boyfriend to geta Facebook page since he hadn't ever considered the uses of Social Media before. But when he thought about it, that had really been on account of Deucalion and after learning his mother's alive and well for the most part, he had a pretty good opinion on why the old bastard hadn't been willing to allow him to use that sort of thing. The two goofs even had opened up a new Youtube account known as 'CrazyKimura' that featured their goofy videos either together or apart. A trip to a music store in downtown Beacon Hills would also result in a fairly interesting situation for Scott as well that would make his mom quite happy in the process. And it all started when he got caught doing something in there he hadn't quite been able to stop himself from doing.
Flashback to Saturday
After stepping inside 'Don's Music Store', Scott had found himself quickly liking the laid back atmosphere of the place even if it did make him want to sneeze for some reason. The young Alpha also found himself liking the selection the place had, even if he did feel it could use a bit more of the special variety he himself enjoyed quite a bit. And as he looked around, one particular section caught his interest and the lack of organization to it honestly bugged him. Whether or not it was cause of his homicidal urges, he wasn't sure of but something had to be done about it! And so he started a little organizational work, not thinking if whether or not whoever ran the place would be all that happy with him for doing it in the first place! Ten minutes later into his work that he was absorbed into saw a visitor by his side. "That's some nice work man."
Startled, Scott looked towards the source of the voice and found himself staring at an older man with somewhat gray hair. And then he sneezed. "Whoa! Easy on the sneezin' man!"
"Sorry, its just somethin' in here makes me wanna sneeze."
"Oh, probably cause I'm a cat dude." Scott gave him a look over that one.
"Say what?"
"I'm like you man! Only instead of a Wolf, I'm a real cool Cat." Just watch out for his wife though!
A look of realization crossed Scott's face after that. "Oh, well, just don't use me as a claw post and we'll be good alright?"
"You got it man. And you don't work here right? At least, I don't think I remember you ever workin' here before."
Think this guy's been into the Catnip a little too much.
"No, first time in here actually."
"Oh, cool man. You want a job? Cause that's some good work. Better then what I usually do."
"What do you do?"
"Sell stuff man."
Scott couldn't help but shake his head in slight amusement and then looked around a bit and came to the realization that this section wasn't the only place that looked bad! And it irked him something fierce for that matter! "As much as I wouldn't mind workin' here, I kinda can't right now due to some legal matters."
"Oh, get arrested or somethin'?"
"Nah man, just kidnapped for a few years and had a lot of false documentation made cause of it."
The old man's eyes widened after hearing that. "Holy shit man, I thought you were kinda familiar!"
A sigh escaped from the boy as he really didn't want to deal with pity at the moment! "But hey, its cool, you can work here anyway and I'll just pay you under the table til you get all that crap figured out man."
This got him a look of surprise from the Wolf. "Seriously!?"
"As serious as my my belief about my old lady bein' a Demon from Hell." Informed the man and maing Scott laugh over that.
"Hey, you'll see what I mean if you ever meet her." Said the man with a slight shudder.
Scott started to smile happily at this stroke of luck even if having a job did still seem unappealing! "Alright man, when do I start?"
A shrug was his first answer. "Start now if ya want. We close up at 8."
"Every night or just tonight? Cause I got a girlfriend to pick up around then."
"Every night." Informed the man and getting an excited clap of the hands along with a whoop from the boy.
"You got yourself a deal!"
"Righteous man! Well, I'll be in the back so have fun with all that."
Grinning to himself, the young man immediately got back to what he was doing and he couldn't wait to tell Kira and his moms about all this!
Present Day
Though Scott was of the opinion the guy at the repair shop was a freaking con artist since the guy claimed the total for repairing Bea would cost around 30,000 after he had finally shown up at the repair shop the Sheriff had told him his car was at. And while he might have money, he didn't have the kind necessary to outright pay that amount and had to work out a payment plan much to his severe annoyance. Which would mean he wouldn't be able to get his car back until the bill was fully paid for. Now something he didn't know is that after Stiles had learned of what went down in the music shop, the bald teenager was planning on leaving his job at the animal clinic to come work alongside him in an attempt to try and bring back their old friendship since nothing was being done about it so far much to his annoyance. Cora thought it was pointless since she could tell the pervertic Alpha wasn't interested in restoring old friendships at the moment.
But her man wasn't interested in hearing that and making her want to roll her eyes at him but figured this was gonna have to be one of those things he learned on his own the hard way. And while she and Stiles weren't all sickeningly sweet like Scott and Kira were, she and her boyfriend were still quite happy with the newest development in their lives. Something that made Lydia quite happy about as it meant the boy wouldn't be chasing after her anymore. As for Allison and Harley however, the young Argent had been growing more and more concerned ever since the night she had overheard the conversation between her girlfriend and Peter. She had noticed that Rebecca was growing more and more tense as the time went by while her Aunt was seemingly somewhat happy if a bit worn out as well and it made the girl wonder if the worn out look was cause of what that man had claimed she had done and was feeling a lot of guilt over it. She had wanted to say something, anything at all to her Aunt but hadn't been sure of how to even say it and she hated that and was glad for the fact Derek Hale seemed to be a source of comfort for her even if it probably made him uncomfortable if he was even aware of what her Aunt had done to his Uncle.
Allison knew though that she either needed to go to her parents about what she had over heard or talk with the Police about it before something horrible happened. And little did she know that her girlfriend was about to get some bad news from Coach Finstock. "What'cha mean I can't go to the damn Formal!?" Burst out Harley in annoyance in the locker room towards Finstock.
Finstock sighed. "You're failing my class and two others Harlowe. So a compromise had to be made."
"A compromise!? That's, that's not much of a compromise to me man!"
"Hey, I understand. I had to fight just to keep you on the team as I told them I'd rather lose my last remaining testicle then cut you from the team."
A sigh of agitation escaped the girl as she shook her head in annoyance. "Then I quit the team."
"Oh ho, no you don't! You're one of my best players Harlowe."
That honestly didn't mean a damn to the girl however. "Yeah? Well guess what!? I don't care! I've had some horrible shit happen to me recently that you mighta heard about and I need somethin' good to happen for me! I NEED some mindless fun with my friends and my girlfriend to get my mind off things!" Ranted the girl angrily.
Finstock sighed as he listened to one of his best players rant. The situation sucked and if there was something he could do about it he would but life just didn't always work out for the best. "I'm sorry, but the decision's final. And if you show up? You WILL be benched for the remainder of the season and either in detention or suspension for a week." Informed the man before walking away.
Leaving Harley standing there in shock and anger until she was nudged by a smirking Jackson. "Ooh, tough luck there Harlowe. Maybe I'll get a chance to dance with her. Who knows, maybe more then that." Spoke the teen with that smirk still in place and enjoying the reaction he was getting from the girl.
"Jackie boy, you even try and go near her and I promise you won't like what I'll do." Warned Scott from behind and making the boy spin around quickly.
And getting an eyefull of claws as well for that matter. And that wasn't the only thing as the other boy's eyes were glowing red much like Old Lady Hale's had been! Something that angered the boy a whole Hell of a lot! "You're an Alpha!?"
"Yeah, I am. And no, I won't give your sorry ass the Bite. Not just cause of Old Lady Hale layin' down the law but cause you ain't worth givin' it too." Jackson sneered angrily at him.
"Its MY birthright!"
"It ain't shit dumbass and lemme tell ya, bein' a Werewolf? Bein' an Alpha? It ain't all its cracked up to be."
"Aww, are we about to get into storytime? Cause I am so not interested."
Scott growled lowly in his throat as he leaned in closer to the arrogant jackass. "You try anything with Allison during the dance and you won't like what'll happen when I get my hands on ya. Cause what I'll do will be about on the level of the Big Bear Lake massacre."
The smell of fear entered his nose as Jackson gulped in fear as he could see just how serious the guy was being. He then decided that trying anything with Allison wasn't worth it at all. "Whatever, she's not worth it."
"She's worth more then you'll ever be Jackson. Cause my girl is hard not to like." Spoke Harley affectionately.
Jackson rolled his eyes and walked off and started to wonder if maybe his dear old psycho dad would be his best bet after all. The two Wolves watched him leave as Harley let out a sigh, making Scott look her way. "Hey, she'll be alright. I promise. Course if you want, I'll help you sneak into the dance."
As appealing as that sounded to Harley, she knew she was going to have to reject her brother from another mother. "Thanks but I think I'ma have to pass..."
Scott looked at her sympathetically and placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently. "Well, if you change your mind just come find me alright?"
"I will, and thank you." Though had a feeling she wasn't gonna take him up on the offer cause suspension or detention wasn't that appealing at all.
At least she would be able to spend a little time with her mom and work on homework at least. "You're seriously not gonna try?" Asked a shocked Stiles as he came up to the two.
"No man, I hate it but its just not gonna happen." Informed the girl sadly and making her best friend shake his head over it.
"Allison is not gonna be happy dude." Warned the boy.
And true to his word, Allison definitely wasn't happy and was of half a mind to rip a new one into Finstock over the whole thing. Something Harley honestly found amusing and even felt a little grateful to her girl for wanting to do that. And as funny as the sight of her yelling at the guy would have been, she couldn't let her do it and get in trouble much to the dark haired girl's dislike! But a rather passionate kiss did mollify her some. "I hate this Becky… I was really looking forward to you and me going to the dance together." Spoke Allison sadly and making Harley sigh sadly herself.
"I know babe, I know, I hate it too and I was lookin' forward to it as much as you were."
"Maybe I just won't go then. It doesn't seem right to go if you don't."
Harley shook her head at that. "NO! I mean… No, its all good girl. I want you to go okay? Go and have fun and hopefully we can make it to the next dance together." Said the girl softly as she held her girl's hand.
Allison looked a bit unsure about that however. "Are… Are you sure? Cause I am MORE than willing to skip that and just be with you."
"I'm sure babe. You deserve to have some fun. And look at it this way, you'll be able to bug Scott and Kira with more effort put into it since I won't be around for it." Harley told her jokingly.
Making for Allison to shake her head in amusement at her girlfriend's words. "Well, you deserve to have some too after what you've been through."
"And I will, I promise." The two shared another kiss that was both sweet and a bit saddening.
A little while later would see Allison, Lydia, Kira, and even Cora going dress shopping with Harley along for the ride to give her opinion on her girl's choice of dress. Well, that and to keep an eye on her just in case Peter tried anything. Ethan and Danny had even been roped into going with the girls as well, mostly so that Lydia could interrogate Ethan on his intentions towards Danny much to the Hawaiian boy's embarrassment. "Now Danny, you are one of my best friends and I'm merely watching out for you. Just as you would for me." Came the girl's voice as she gave an explanation that sounded perfectly reasonable to her.
Danny rolled his eyes in an affectionate matter towards the Redhead and even gave her a hug. "You know this means turn about is fair play right?"
"Well of course. I wouldn't expect any less from you."
"Aww, such a Kodak moment." Cooed Allison laughingly.
"Talk about outdated with that one." Spoke Cora with a grin.
While the girl's Aunt had been responsible for what happened to her Uncle, however accidental, she wasn't going to let that color her dealings with Allison herself as that would cause problems that didn't need to be caused. Lydia and Danny merely rolled their eyes at the two mockers, making for everyone else to laugh before getting back to the very serious but fun task of shopping. Thankfully there would be no encounter with Peter much to Harley's relief though an hour after she showed up for work things would get a little tense thanks to his showing up there. But thankfully, Deaton would shut the crazy guy down real good much to her relief as she hid in the examination area from him. Though she grew highly worried when the man made a cryptic warning before leaving the clinic and made sure to text her fellow Wolves and Stiles to be real watchful of things even if they didn't actually need the warning since they were already planning to do so anyway.
Wednesday
Wednesday soon came and with it saw Scott and Kali taking a trip to the hospital to have a word with Melissa's boss about her work hours since the woman had yet to cut back on them despite Scott and Kali's attempt to get her to do so. Neither were sure why she hadn't yet and so had chosen to take matters into their own hands. The woman at the front desk had been all too willing to be helpful after Scott had told her they were there to speak with Melissa's boss as she had a feeling about what they wanted to speak with him about and agreed that she needed to cut back before it started to cause more problems then just weight loss. A bald African American man known as William Geyer, an administrator of the hospital and a fellow Co-Worker to the woman in the two's lives. "Ah, Kali, good to see ya!"
She smiled at him while he turned his attention to the young man with her. "And you must be Scott! I gotta tell you son, it was a great relief to all of us when we heard you finally made it back to your mother."
"Thank you Doctor, and my mom is actually why we're here."
Looking at the two questioningly, he told the young man to continue. "Despite the short amount of time I've been back with my mother, I've still been able to notice how gaunt and haggard she looks."
"Its something I've long noticed myself and its left me quite worried." Spoke Kali in concern.
Scott nodded at that and then continued on. "I tried to talk her into takin' on less shifts here, maybe even a vacation but… Its like, like she's fightin' it and I have no idea why despite a deal we made."
"And you've come to me about this." Deduced the man as he started to get a pretty good idea of what they were going to ask of him.
"That's right Dr. Geyer, Melissa is someone I greatly care about and she is Scott's mother and neither of us want to lose her. Especially when Scott's only just been re-united with her."
Kali wasn't sure what she'd do if she lost her son's mother and it scared her somewhat of the possibility of becoming a stone cold person again with little care to anything beyond her boys. "I don't wanna beg, but I am asking you, PLEASE give her less hours here. Hell MAKE her take a vacation if you have too." Pleaded Scott and hated doing that since he wasn't normally one to make pleas but then this was his mother after all.
A sigh escaped the bald man as he himself had long tried to get his friend and co-worker to cut back. Especially after her son had finally come back. And now he had Scott and Melissa's girlfriend here pleading their case and he knew then and there it was high time something happened. "I'll make it happen. I promise. I may need to go over her head to get this done but she'll either have less hours or will take a vacation. But it may take a few days to get this going."
Both were relieved to hear that, though Kali had the feeling Mel wasn't gonna be too happy with either of them. I can live with that though.
"Thanks man, you're a life saver." Informed Scott appreciatively.
Geyer merely smiled at him. "Its all part of what I do here." Replied the man a bit jokingly and getting chuckles from the two.
"Melissa's on a forced break by the way if you two wanna visit her in the cafeteria."
That sounded like a good idea to the two Wolves and after giving a nod of thanks to the man, they made their way to the cafeteria where a very special woman was said to be. Though as they neared the entrance to the cafeteria, Scott stopped in his tracks, making for Kali to be a little confused and was about to say something when Scott cut her off with a raised finger and a look of concentration on his face. Which told the older Wolf he was hearing something that had managed to catch his interest. Leaning in, she focused her hearing and began to hear Melissa's voice much as she had presumed her adopted son had. "Do you, do you hear yourself Raf!?" Came the woman's angry and very unhappy voice.
"You can't take him away from me! Not when I just got him back!"
A sob escaped the woman as she listened to the other end while the two Wolves began to get rather angry themselves. Scott's urges even spiked a bit despite the crystal necklace he still had on, which was a sign to him he was probably gonna have to cleanse it really soon. "I swear to you! I will fight you on this Raf. He is MY son and I am DONE… No, I've BEEN done taking the blame for his kidnapping! BLAME YOU WRONGFULLY PLACED ON ME!" Screamed out the pissed off and tearful mother and gaining quite a few looks her way, not that she cared all that much at the moment.
She started to shake her head at whatever she was hearing on the other end and then hung up on the bastard she once loved and struggled to calm herself down. While she did so, two very angry and quite red eyed Wolves were struggling with their own dual desire to go find the bastard and rip him limb from limb for causing the woman they loved and cared for a great deal so much pain. The two took deep breaths to try and calm themselves a bit and thankfully it worked as their red eyes faded back to their normal color. Scott then pushed his way past the doors with Kali following closely behind. "MOM!" Shouted the boy and causing the tearful nurse and mother to look their way.
"S-Scott? Kali?"
She found herself being wrapped in a hug by not only her son, but her slightly estranged girlfriend as well. "What's wrong mom?" Asked the young man after they pulled away from her a little bit later.
Melissa tried to wave it away but neither of the two were quite so willing to allow that to happen. "Mel, PLEASE, tell us!" Implored Kali even though she already knew full well of what happened.
The rattled woman let out an uneasy breath as she looked at the two concerned faces of those she cares greatly for. And it was enough to break what resolve she had. "My… My Ex-husband… Scott's father Rafael, he's… He's coming here as soon as he can."
"Somethin' tells me the asshole's not comin' for just a visit."
Melissa would have given her son a disapproving look but she just didn't have it in her as she closed her eyes as Kali rubbed on her arm in silent support. "No, sweetie, he's not. He's coming back to… To take you back with him and away from me."
Fresh tears broke free from the woman as Kali wrapped her up in her arms as rage coursed through her over this bastard. Someone she'd willingly kill if he dare came near her if he truly does show! An angry Scott was even angrier then before as he shook his head. "No way. NOT happening. I'll break his arm or somethin' before I go anywhere with that asshole. My home is HERE, with you, with Ma, with Aiden and Ethan, with Harley and Kira, with… With everyone I've come to know. So if he tries anything, he'd damn well better bring a lawyer or some shit cause he ain't takin' me any damn where."
The tearful mother looked at him before launching herself to him and wrapping her baby boy in a tight hug. Something he returned all too willingly as thoughts of murder raced through his head over the bastard. The two would be able to convince Melissa to leave the place for the day since she was too distraught to be able to really work and Geyer was all too willing to make it happen much to the distraught woman's annoyance. But thankfully she didn't put up too much of a fight, especially after being double teamed by her son and girlfriend. Melissa could only hope however that her bastard of an ex-husband wouldn't be able to take her son from her as she wasn't sure she could survive if that happened…
Thursday
The day before the Formal saw Allison pacing about in her room, debating if whether or not to talk with her parents about the overheard conversation between Rebecca and Peter. Her Aunt was out again, most likely doing whatever with Derek Hale and the girl had been really wanting to grill her Aunt about that but hadn't gotten a chance to do so. Mostly cause the timing just felt so wrong! A picture of herself and Rebecca on her dresser caught her eye and in that moment Allison knew then and there she needed to talk with her parents. She quickly headed out of her room and after a quick check in her parents room, she saw neither of the two in there and headed downstairs where they were thankfully together at the same time. The lack of Kira either meant she was at work or off doing something with Scott which was fine with her for the time being. "Mom? Dad? Can we talk?" Asked the girl as she came up to the two cuddled up together on the couch.
Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Noshiko pulled away from the comfort of her husband's body, allowing him to sit up on the edge of the couch. "What's wrong sweetheart?" Asked the mother of two as her father looked on in concern.
Allison started to pace a bit and making the two adults feel even more concerned. "Allison?" Prompted Chris.
Something that seemed to work thankfully enough as she turned to them with a worried look on her face. "Okay… So a few nights ago I went to see Rebecca at the hospital cause of her mom you know? And while we were talking, this guy… Just… Shows up and Rebecca is just… Tense while the guy is all friendly and stuff. I offer to leave the two alone for a bit cause he says he's an old friend of her mom's..."
They watched as she wrung her hands together while she talked and stopped to gather her thoughts. "But the thing is, I kind of… I kind of didn't go and do that. At least, not at first."
"Allison!" Called out Chris sternly as she knew full well that wasn't respectful!
She winced at the tone in her father's voice and the frown she got from her step mother. "I know! I know that wasn't right of me. But I just… I don't know… Felt like I needed to be there. What I heard though wasn't great."
Noshiko and her husband both wondered what their daughter meant by that and she would even ask that very question. "Well… Like I said, Becky wasn't too happy with him being there and when I 'left', she kinda got upset with him. But I don't get why she didn't call the cops on him!"
"What do you mean sweetie?" Asked her father.
"Well… He's the one who attacked her to begin with! And even claimed Aunt Kate set him on fire!" Cried out the girl.
Noshiko instantly stood up and hugged her daughter. "You needn't worry about that man sweetheart. The Police are actively searching for him as we speak."
"That's right, that man is dangerously unstable and the sooner he's arrested the better we'll all be." Added Chris comfortingly as he joined the hug.
Though Allison was damned curious as to how they even knew of that! "How… How do you even know all that?" Asked the girl with a sniffle.
"Harley told me after she came in from the hospital that night and I made sure to call the Sheriff."
Hearing her father's words made the girl wonder why Rebecca hadn't ever told her that! "How come, how come she didn't tell me that?"
"Well, I would assume it would be so that you wouldn't worry about her." Theorized Noshiko even though they had never actually gotten the Police involved after being told by Harley of what had happened that night.
Leave it to her girlfriend to think that way! Something she would have to have a word with her about! As she needed to know she didn't have to deal with things on her own! As she had her, their friends, and the adults! "So does this mean I won't have to worry about this Peter guy trying to make my girlfriend join him for a murdering spree that ends with Aunt Kate dying a horrible death?"
"Absolutely not." Replied Chris firmly with a shake of the head.
As he knew Harley would rather die then do that and had even asked Talia Hale to take her life should she be taken control of again by her murderous Alpha. Something that only he knew about and had been surprised by and honestly hoped it wouldn't come to that. He had little doubt Scott would be all that pleased with that plan either should he ever find out about it. Allison let out a sigh of relief after hearing her father's firm words and hoped like Hell he'd be proven right in the end. She then hugged her parents and went back up to her room and decided to try and do a little flirting with Rebecca through texts to try and keep her mind off the more serious stuff. That, and it was always fun to tease her when she was trying to work! Made for some really great fun as well after she got to the house thanks to getting her all worked up.
Friday
The Formal was finally upon them all and many were greatly excited for it. And while Melissa was a tiny bit annoyed with her son and girlfriend for their interference in getting her a month's worth of time off, she was incredibly happy for the chance she was getting to see her son go to his first school dance. Heck, even Kali was excited for that matter! And since Melissa didn't have to work, she insisted her boy use her car instead of his bike to avoid the chances of messing his or Kira's outfits for the dance up. Scott himself was taking a look in the mirror one last time to make sure he looked all good and ready for the dance and even spun around and pointed at the mirror. "I am SMOKIN'!" Declared the boy with a chuckle.
His outfit for the night was a white and blue 3 piece pinstrip Zoot suit with a blue vest, black tie, and even a white Fedora with a blue band around it. As far as Scott was concerned, he was gonna be the best damned dressed teenager in that school tonight! And if the hints Kira had dropped about her dress was any indication, not only would he be the best damn dressed guy, but she would be the best damn dressed girl for this little dance! Which to him only made perfect sense that this would be a thing. Scott made his way out of his room and down the stairs and when his moms got a good look at him, they were quite amazed by it all. Even getting him to take pictures in the outfit as well and causing a bit of laughter to happen as he did ridiculous poses for the pictures. "Alright sweetie, have a good night but not too much of a good night alright? Neither of us are looking to be grandmothers just yet." Spoke up Melissa seriously with Kali nodding in agreement.
"Heh, little late for that one mom." Replied the young man with a grin.
"Don't listen to him Mel, he talks a big game but that's all it is."
"MA!" Chuckles were shared between the two women while he pouted some.
"I'll uhh… I'll get back to you on that later cause for now? I gots places to be and Kiras to dance with!"
Chuckles came from the two women again and hugs were had between the three and the two were then left alone after Scott left the house to go and pick up Kira. "So, we're alone and I'm pretty sure nobody's gonna bother us for the next several hours… Hmm… I wonder what we could do with all that alone time?" Questioned Kali with a finger on her chin as she looked like she was heavily thinking on the matter.
Making for Melissa to look at her with an amused grin on her lips. "Bad romance movies and popcorn?"
Kali shook her head at that. "Nah, I think we can do better then that." Replied the woman suggestively.
Melissa shook her head at her girlfriend with that amused grin still in place. "You're gonna have to catch me first Kal."
Her teasing words got a raise of eyebrows from the other woman and with a laugh, Melissa took off towards the upper stairs and Kali grinned before going off after her woman as well. Making for shrieks of excitement and laughter to be heard from the house were anybody near it at the time. As those two were having quite a fun time with one another, Scott was managing to pull off making it to Kira's in rather quick time since he was damned eager to see his girl in her dress! Whistling happily to himself as he made his way to the front door and ringing the doorbell, he thankfully didn't have long to wait as Kate opened the door and got a surprised look on her face. "Damn boy! This is a lot better then seein' you in your underwear!" Called out the woman a bit teasingly and making him roll his eyes at her with a shake of the head.
"Yeah, yeah, you keep tellin' yourself that." Replied the boy good naturedly as Kate moved out of the way for him to come inside.
In the front room he could see Allison already looking ready to go and gave a whistle of appreciation. "Lookin' good! Pity Harls can't see ya in that." Or do more then just see her in it!
"I think you forget she kinda lives here with me." Allison told him in amusement.
Scott got a look of realization on his face after being helpfully reminded of that fact. Making for the dark haired beauty to look at him weirdly. "How'd you manage to even forget that?"
"I've had a lot on my mind." Said the boy with a shrug.
Allison nodded as that was a good excuse as any considering recent events and all. "If I might have your attention please!?" Requested Noshiko from atop the stairs and bringing Chris out from the kitchen.
"Now you never have to ask that of me Momma Noshi!" Responded Scott jokingly.
"Ah yes, how silly of me to forget."
"Hey, it happens. Ain't that right Old Man Sexy?"
Chris looked at him for a moment. "Yes… That's… Right."
Does my daughter have to like this boy? Thought the man sourly as the flirting was starting to drive him a little nuts!
Noshiko cleared her throat with an amused grin on her lips and once she had their attention again, she indicated for Kira to come on down. And what Scott saw practically took his breath away as he stood at the bottom of the stairs slack jawed. Making for Allison and Kate to be rather amused by the reaction. Chris however paid no attention to that as his focus was on his rather stunningly beautiful step-daughter as she came down the steps in her Mermaid Sweet-Heart Package Hip Beading Taffeta Dark Navy sleeveless dress. Her hair was done up in a Voguish Braided Updo style with several strands of hair on the sides and in front of her face. Kira herself couldn't help but find Scott to look absolutely handsome in the outfit he had on and honestly wouldn't mind seeing him in it again in the future as she found herself blushing from the intensity of his staring at her! A more naughtier thought came to mind about getting him out of it in the future as well! But she mentally shook that thought off as something like that was way too soon for them to be doing!
Once she was at the bottom of the stairs she gave him a shy smile as she looked down a little while still blushing. Kate decided to help out and nudged Scott a little, knocking him out of his state of stunnedness. "Uhh, wow… I mean, wow. You look, you look beautiful Kira." Came the boy's soft words.
If anything, Kira's blush increased some as she stared at him. "You look really handsome yourself Scott." She told him softly as her heart beat wildly in her chest.
Allison herself was honestly surprised as this was perhaps the most shocked she'd ever seen of Scott as he stared at her sister like she was the best thing he'd ever seen in his life. Noshiko had what looked to be a watery gleam in her eyes as she looked at the two and quickly decided that pictures were needed to be taken! Pictures that included her daughters together, alone, with Scott, or Scott on his own. After a little more conversation and a glare from Chris to Scott to be on his best behavior and getting a little grin and wink from the boy in return, the trio of teens were soon off to the Formal. And once they got there and got out of the car and met up with Stiles and Cora, along with Aiden and Lydia who was preening a little after a compliment was given to her by Aiden after a little encounter with a slightly tipsy Jackson, and Ethan and Danny, Stiles couldn't help but look at Scott in shock and a slight case of jealousy! "Dude, don't hate the player. Hate the game." Said Scott with a shit eating grin on his face as he and Kira walked on.
Stiles watched him go with a look of disbelief on his face. "Hate the tailor more like..." Muttered the boy to himself and making Cora grin at him before she pulled on him to get going into the school.
Scott and Kira immediately started to dance once they got inside and some found it quite amusing when Scott started to go the distance and act like a goof with the dancing much to Kira's fond exasperation. Aiden at first would have issues with Lydia not wanting to dance but after a little talking on his end and a little revealing tidbit that he had noticed how smart she actually is, managed to finally get her to dance with him. As everyone enjoyed themselves, Harley herself sat in a chair she was starting to become all too familiar with in her mom's hospital room as she worked on homework and hoped like crazy her mom woke up any moment. "You know, I'm surprised you're here and not at that dance I've heard about." Came the voice of her father and making her jump a little.
She soon calmed down once she realized it was just her dad as he came into the room with a smile on his face and sat down next to her. Harley sighed afterwards. "Yeah well… Bad grades made it a problem for me to go." Groused the girl unhappily.
"Even tried to quit the team but Coach wouldn't hear of it."
Joseph frowned at that as that just didn't seem right to him at all. "So why not sneak in?"
A snort escaped the girl. "A week of suspension or detention if I got caught."
"Now normally I wouldn't ever suggest doing something like this, but I think you should do it anyway. You deserve to have some fun after all the crap that's happened recently baby." Said the man seriously and making his daughter look at him in surprise.
"Are you serious? Even with suspension or detention hangin' over my head?"
Joseph nodded at her with a grin on his lips. "Hell yeah I'm serious girl. And if you get either of those? I think it'll be worth it and at least I'll know why it happened."
"What about mom? I bet she won't be too happy."
"Heh, never know kiddo, never know."
Harley then sighed. "I don't have a dress though."
"Hmm, that is a problem. BUT! I think it'll be acceptable to go as you are this time around as I'm sure there will be plenty of other dances you'll be able to dress up for. And if this Coach guy has a problem with you being there? Just send 'em to me."
It was times like this that made the girl really appreciate how easy going her dad could be! She then hugged her dad and hauled ass out the door, leaving the man to chuckle as he looked towards his wife. "Hell of a kid we got babe. Hell of a kid." Muttered the man softly as he got up, squeezed one of her hands, and even kissed her on the forehead before leaving.
Along the way to the high school, Harley texted Scott to arrange a little outside meeting for her and Allison. And thankfully the rust bucket didn't give her many problems on the way to the school aside from wanting to move slowly at times. Making for her to finally arrive 25 minutes later and completely surprising Allison in the process! "Becky!? What, what are you doing here!?"
"My dad convinced me I needed to be here." Replied the girl with a smile as the two got rather close to one another outside.
Allison got a smile of her own as the two started to hold the other's hands. "Well, I'll have to thank him the next time I see him."
Harley chuckled at that and the two shared a sweet kiss before Allison decided to drag Harley somewhere with Scott and Kira following from a distance and making commentary on the whole thing. The two went towards the buses, giving Harley a sense of deja vu but at least this time being at the buses was a bit more pleasant! "What are we doin' here babe?" Asked the newbie Wolf curiously.
Making for Allison to grin at her a little impishly. "I was thinking we could make a really happy memory in one of these."
Hearing that made the other girl's eyebrows raise up in slight surprise. "Girl, you seriously think that's a good idea?"
"Well… If you follow me you'll find out quickly that it's a great idea." Challenged the dark haired girl with a big smile on her lips before heading into one of the buses with Harley looking on in surprise.
Shaking her head, she looked around and then shrugged. "Ah Hell, screw it. You only live once." Murmured the girl with a grin on her lips and as she was about to head towards the bus' door, two Suburbans showed up much to her confusion. One having a white man and the other having an African American male.
And both were grinning rather smugly too. Allison from inside the bus looked on in fear and worry for her girlfriend and let out a horrified gasp when the two Suburbans came charging at the girl she loves. She then watched as her girlfriend amazingly managed to jump out of the way of the oncoming vehicles and landed on their hoods. Her horror soon came back however when she got a good look at Harley's face and saw something a bit… Monstrous. Making her cover her mouth in horrified shock and crying out when she heard a gunshot that Harley somehow jumped clear out of the way of and over the other bus. The two suburbans quickly pulled out and Allison stayed inside the bus out of fear for her life, only to be advanced on by one of the men who had tried to run over Harley!
Unknown to her however as she was being attacked is that Scott and Kira were making their way over to them to find out what the Hell was going on while to further add to the horrors going on was Lydia being attacked in the Lacrosse field by Peter Hale who had been in search of Derek who had been actively avoiding him as much as possible and soundly thrashing Aiden in the process who along with Stiles had come out to find her. Scott wasn't a happy camper over what was going on and as he made his way towards the buses, one of the Suburbans pulled up in front of him and an African American male got out of it and came towards him and Kira with a grin on his lips. And as he came to them, his eyes glowed blue, making for Kira to gasp in shock and fright. "Sorry kid, but the boss needs this little chickie."
"Yeah? Well I sure as Hell don't think so!"
A chuckle escaped the man known as Reddick who pulled out a gun and shot Scott several times. Making Kira scream in horror and tears for her boyfriend as he fell to the ground. She was then roughly grabbed by the man and forced into the Suburban and quickly hauling ass. The fallen figure of Scott laid where he was for a short period of time until he forced himself up with a groan. "Kira!?" Got out the boy as he looked around at the area.
Not seeing or even smelling her in the nearby area, he let out a loud and frustrated roar as his eyes glowed a bright angry red as he realized then and there that his girlfriend had been kidnapped. "KIRAAAAAAA!"
Author's Notes: Ohh damn! Allison and Kira have been kidnapped and Scott's definitely not a happy camper!
