Chapter 1: The Kiss
Tommy's Inner Monologue: Oh yeah, and about that dance.
Tommy: So, if we're not just friends then what are we?
Tommy and Lori slowly move closer together as they dance.
T.I.M.: The whole fall formal thing maybe a little corny, but you get some punch and a mirror ball, not a bad place for a first kiss.
Lori: Does this answer your question?
Lori and Tommy move closer together and then kiss.
T.I.M.: Wow! I was kissing Lori Baxter. This was good, real good, but maybe a little too good.
Tommy's hands turn into paws and he abruptly ends his kiss with Lori.
Tommy: (eyes glowing) Yeah, well, I'm gonna go get some punch.
Tommy runs out of the cafeteria into the hallway.
Lori: Tommy?
Tommy paces the hall fully wolfed out.
T.I.M.: I choked. I can't believe it. This was like Stacey all over again. I guess I was nervous because I hadn't tried the whole relationship thing since Stacey, but did Lori even want a relationship?
Lori enters the hallway looking confused and concerned.
Lori: Tommy? What's wrong? Was it the music again?
Lori moves towards Tommy in an effort to make eye contact with him
Tommy: (turns his back to Lori) It's nothing I just…
T.I.M.: I didn't know what to say to her. I guess I should tell her about everything that went on with Stacey and see if she understands.
Tommy takes a minute to wolf down then turns towards Lori.
Tommy: Listen, Lori. Back there I just kinda got a little…
Lori: (sensing Tommy's discomfort) Nervous?
Tommy: It's just that being a were…
Lori: Tommy it's ok I understand that this whole thing between us is confusing.
Tommy: I just don't know what to think. What did that kiss mean exactly?
Lori: I don't really know, but maybe we should just take things slow.
Tommy: That sounds like a good idea.
Tommy slowly closes the gap between him and Lori.
T.I.M.: Maybe this had nothing to do with my past with Stacey. I just needed to calm down and take things one at a time.
Lori and Tommy kiss again. This time Tommy seems to handle himself better as the kiss continues. They couple is interrupted however when Becky wanders into the hallway.
Becky: Oh my God! Tommy Dawkins and Lori Baxter? It's about time.
Lori: (pulling away from Tommy.) What's that supposed mean?
Becky: TNT have been running a pool around school to see when you guys would finally hook up, And by the looks of things Dalton Bradford just made fifty bucks.
Tommy: Really? Fifty bucks, cool! Do think he would split it with me?
Lori: (Giving Tommy a dirty look.) Tommy!
Becky: (looking annoyed) Anyway have you seen the Freaker anywhere? I need to leave early so no one sees me get a ride from him.
Lori: Merton is in the chem. lab. He's a little busy though.
Tommy: If you need a ride I can give you one. I think Lori and I are getting tired of the whole dance thing anyway. Right?
Lori smiles up at Tommy then pretends to look hurt.
Lori: But it's the fall formal.
Tommy and Lori laugh at their inside joke
Lori: I'm ready to go when you are.
Becky: I can't believe this. Hiedi won't believe this. I'm gonna get a ride home from Tommy Dawkins. This is too cool.
Tommy: Whatever. Here (tosses Becky some keys) pull my jeep around and I'll tell Merton we're taking you home.
Becky runs out of the hall excited.
Lori: So, you just want to call it a night and go home?
Tommy: Well, I figured we could drop Becky off and then take a drive…
Lori: to the cemetery to check for bad guys?
Tommy: (a little let down) sure, I guess but let's go find Merton.
Tommy takes Lori's hand as they walk down the hall towards the stairs.
