Summary: What if episode 9, "If These Wolves Could Talk," had ended differently, at least the part pertaining to Luke and Sophia. What if Scott hadn't tried to stop Luke, and he had succeeded in dragging Sophia into his car and driving off?
A/N: This is my first fanfiction ever posted (I've written others, but they were all to bad to post). Please review and let me know if you love it, like it, hate it, etc. If I don't get any reviews, or all bad ones, I won't update, so if you want me to continue, please review. Flames are excepted, as long as you're honest and they're constructive.
A/N 2: Thanks for all the positive feedback!! I got a bunch of reviews plus a whole lot of e-mails! Remember, it's due to your encouragement that I keep writing, here's Chapter 3!!
A/N 3: Just wanted you to know that I'm taking liberties when designing Sophia's room. They didn't make what it looked like a priority in the show. *sarcastically* Gee, I wonder why? Also, that I'm going to assume that it's summer, considering that Sophia and Kit appear to be working during the day when kids are usually in school, and that Sophia's birthday is at the end of May. I'm going to assume the last one because that way, Sophia just turned 16, I still have a whole year to have her flip, and a lot of animals (wolves included) are born in spring. Also, she is going to enter her junior year. I know she's young, but hey, that's how old I'm gonna be when I enter my junior year! Finally, I don't know a lot about Scott, but I'm trying to make him seem like he did in the series.
Recognition: Thanks to all the people at http://www.soapsite.com/wolf/. Due to their wonderful summaries, I was able to make this story as accurate as possible. The site is also full of great pics and bios of the characters. I definitely recommend that you check it out! J

Let's pretend that after Luke dragged Sophia to his car, he drove off. All that happened to the Sheriff, John Kanin, the scientist, etc. happened.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Where we left off:
"Yes, dad, I'm fine. I'm just gonna call Scott and go to bed, 'kay?"
"Sure sweetie, goodnight."
"Goodnight dad." She kissed her father on the cheek and went up to her room to call Scott.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sophia entered her room, closed the door, and leaned against it as she shut her eyes and sighed.
'ARGH! I HATE you, Lucas Cates! You're ruining my life! Why do you have to be so…so…YOU!!!'
She sighed again as she got up and walked over to the phone on her desk. She picked it up and dialed Scott's number. It rang twice before someone picked up.
"Hello?" asked an older, feminine voice. Obviously his mother answered.
"Hi; is Scott there?"
"May I ask who's calling?"
"Sophia; Sophia Donner."
"Yes, one moment please."
In the backround Sophia heard some mumbling, and then Scott's voice. "Hello?"
"Hey Scott, it's Sophia. How are you?"
"Are you okay? I was worried when Luke grabbed you and drove off. I hope you don't mind that I called your father, but I was afraid Luke'd hurt you or something, and since your dad is the sheriff,…" he trailed off.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. And no, I'm not mad you told my father; but you didn't answer my question. How are you??"
"A little shaken up, but fine otherwise. Are you sure you're okay? He didn't hurt you?"
Sophia smiled. "I'm fine. You know, you sound remarkably like my dad giving me the second degree."
"I'm sorry, it's just," he paused, "I really like you, and I really wanted this date to go well so that I might've had a chance to get a second date with you."
"It's okay, I think it's sweet you care. And your chances of getting a second date weren't at all affected by what happened. I'm just glad you weren't hurt or anything."
"Nah, it takes a lot to shake me up. Plus, I told you when I asked you out that I was willing to risk bodily harm to spend a night with someone as awesome as you." He paused before speaking again, somewhat hesitantly. "So, what are my chances of getting a second date?"
"Very good." She replied, still smiling.
"Okay then. Would you like to go on a second date with me?"
"I'd love to."
"Okay, how about tomorrow (Saturday)? I know it's probably too soon to have a second date, but I'm going on vacation for a family reunion on Sunday and we'll be outta town for a week, so it's the only time I could really do anything."
"Sure, but just so you know I have to work that night, so it'd have to be sometime in the afternoon."
"No prob, I still have to pack. So, you just wanna go see a movie or something?"
"I'd love to see a movie, any preferences?"
"Yea, no chick flicks." he laughed. "Just joking. I wouldn't mind seeing a chick flick if I was with you."
'Aw! How sweet!' Sophia thought. "Okay, tomorrow I'll call and find out the movies and times and you can call me and we'll work something out?"
"Sure." There was a pause and Sophia heard some yelling in the back round. "Okay, I've got to go, my mom's yelling at me to get off the phone. I'll call you around noon, sound good?"
"Sure, bye."
"Bye."
They both hung up, and Sophia began to get ready to go to bed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Matthew Donner watched Sophia go up to her room. Then, sighing, he sat down in a chair and put a hand over his eyes.
'Why her? Why can't she just live a normal life? I'm sorry Marie. I'm so, so sorry. I'm trying to raise our little girl to be normal, but there are times that it's just too hard. And it becomes even harder when they interfere. Like that Luke Cates, why does it matter to him what Sophia does or who she dates. He has no reason to go after her dates like he did.' He sighed again.
He sat in silence until he heard Sophia hang up the phone. "Sophia, I'm going back to work," he called up to her as he stood up and walked to the door.
"Bye dad," he heard her shout down to him.
"Bye sweetie," he called back.
'Good thing Molly was still at the station and was able to cover for me till I got back. That gives me time to make an extra stop on my way back to the station.'

A/N: I know this chapter is somewhat different then what I said it would be, but, hey, I tried. Plus, it is the longest of all my chapters. I was gonna add on to it to add the convo between Matt and Vivian and Luke's thoughts, but I figured that you people would rather have a chapter now and another by Friday, instead of having to wait until Friday for a really, REALLY long chapter. Please review and tell me what you think. Things I would like you to include in your review:
1) If you think the story flows
2) What you want to happen
3) Any improvements you think I need
4) Your own personal opinion
Also, I may not have been clear on my threat, and it's my fault, so as of now I won't kill Luke and have Sophia run off with Scott, but I will if I don't get reviews that tell me what you want to happen. I need to know if you want there to be more conflicts in this fic after this one is solved, how soon should Sophia flip, etc. So please let me know, 'kay?? Thanx for reading my fic and I hoped you liked it!! Please review and lemme know what you think! J
A/N2: If I get good feedback, Chapter 4 should be up by Friday!
