A Hairy Situation

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here and this was basically inspired by a bunch of Teen Wolf videos I got to watching on my day off.

Summary: A certain Huckleberry's got a hairy situation going on and someone finds out about it in the most unexpected way.

It was cold out, but not terribly freezing, but Maya Hart still wanted to hurry up and get back inside where it was warm none the less. The girl still thought they needed to develop a better way of getting trash out to the trash cans without having to bring it down yourself. But so far that suggestion had been ignored even if Farkle had been all for the idea and his dad was even willing to finance it too since it could have quite a bit of potential. Farkle even told her that his dad was looking into that as it is despite the fact the owners of the apartment complex she lived in had said no to the whole thing to begin with. But there was always other apartment complexes that would probably agree to something like that though so that was a bonus at least. And while she didn't necessarily mind the cold since it wasn't terribly freezing, the ice patches were another thing entirely as she had to be careful in walking to the dumpster.

She barely had time to register what would happen when a screaming figure came crashing down into the opened dumpster. "Holy crap!" Shouted the 17 year old artist in complete surprise.

Getting to the dumpster quickly, she stood on her tip toes to try and see inside the darkened dumpster and wished she had a flashlight with her. "Are you okay!?" She searched her pockets for her cell phone but cursed when she realized it wasn't even on her.

Just then the figure who fell showed his face and it caused her to scream as she stepped back. The figure wound up screaming in return and both wound up screaming in tandem at the other. The guy looked deformed as Hell in her view but she had to wonder if that was actually make up of some kind. But then it hit her that she realized she knew this guy. "Lucas!?" Got out the girl stunnedly.

"Yeah?" Replied her friend in a growly and deep way that was kind of hot in the girl's opinion.

"What the Hell were you doing on the rooftop!? You could have gotten yourself killed you idiot!"

Lucas sighed to himself as she helped him get out of the dumpster with a groan from him. "I uhh… I slipped on some ice after I landed on the roof." He admitted in an embarrassed fashion.

She would have found the way he was looking to be amusing if the situation wasn't so serious. "Landed? What do you mean landed!?" God, Riley would give him the riot act over this once she found out!

That girl had certainly become a safety nut since Sophomore year and there was no sign of that stopping anytime soon much to Maya and the rest of their friends' dismay. "For that matter, why do you even look like that? Its not even Halloween!"

A sigh escaped the teenager, though it quickly turned into a groan cause that fall even with all the trash inside had still hurt darn it! "Can you help me get inside?"

Rolling her eyes, she placed an arm around her shoulders and noticed his rather lengthy nails that looked more like claws. Yeesh, Huckleberry's really goin' all out.

Maya knew he was something of a nerd and all but she had no idea he was THAT into the whole thing. His taller frame and more heavier weight made the walk back to the front door a challenge considering she had always been smaller then him and their friends much to her continued annoyance. "To answer your first question, I like to run around on the rooftops at night cause it's freein' for me. As for the other thing Miss Penelope, its no costume I can tell ya that much." And boy had it been a huge adjustment for the teenager when he started to transform into a werewolf of all things shortly after he got back from Texas for the new school year.

Lucas was still convinced that wolf he encountered out in the woods the night before he came back to New York was responsible for the whole thing after it bit him. Maya was understandably thrown by all this as the idea of him finding running around on rooftops at night to be freeing was seriously weird. And what did he mean what he has on isn't some costume!? "How can that NOT be a costume Ranger Rick? Did you hit your head too hard in that dumpster or somethin'?"

"Just get me to that light over there and I'll show you okay?"

He figured it was better to show then tell as it would be easier to believe. Though he could only hope and pray she wouldn't run away in fear once she realized just how real the whole thing was. The Blonde Beauty did as he requested and once they got to the light pole, he stepped away from her and Maya had to admit he did kind of look a little frightening in that get up of his. It'd probably make for a great prank too! "What you're about to see… I just hope I don't lose you as a friend..." Lucas told her in that growly and deep voice and she was understandably confused by those words.

Not to mention a little worried that he would fear her reaction to the point she'd stop being friends with him. "Now Huckleberry, you could never lose me as a friend." She assured him and he smiled a little that and hoped she would be right.

Lucas began the shift back into his full human self and Maya stood there in complete fascination and shock over the whole thing. This was something she'd only ever seen in movies for cryin' out loud! How could something like this even be real!? Moments later, the change back to human was complete and he looked away from her, afraid of what she would do then and there. "Um… Wow… I definitely wasn't expecting that." Admitted the girl.

Though really, would anyone really expect something like that to happen!? Especially when it was one of her best friends!? Not to mention the guy she long had a crush on and flirted like crazy with and got the favor returned just as intensely. "You're… You're not frightened?"

The fear in his voice was shocking and saddening to hear for Maya, though she wanted to call him an idiot for even thinking he could ever scare her. "Frightened of the big bad Huckleberry? Not a chance. Surprised and stunned? Oh yeah, I'm definitely that."

She then hit him upside the head, causing him to yell out an 'ow' in the process. "Hey! What'd you do that for!?"

"For being an idiot that's why! Why didn't you ever tell us you're a freakin' Werewolf now!?"

He just gaped at her but it was so Maya so he supposed he really shouldn't feel all that surprised by her at this point. But then again, she always did have the habit of surprising him from time to time. "Uhh… Well… Its not like I can just came out and say it now can I? Plus, I was scared of what y'alls reactions would be!"

Well, Wolfy's got a point there. Riley no doubt would freak the Hell out over the whole thing and Zay would probably think it was cool after getting over the initial shock. Farkle and Smackle? Those two would probably want to turn the whole thing into a science deal that probably would unfortunately involve a disection if things got too out of hand after they got over their own surprise. Not that she would have let it get that far of course as she no doubt would have cracked a few heads together.

"Good point Wolfy, good point." Admitted the girl aloud as Lucas groaned.

This time from the new apparent nickname rather then from the pain he was feeling. "Great, another nickname."

Maya smirked at him. "You bet your tail waggin' ass mister."

He groaned again but he honestly couldn't help but feel relieved that the Blonde Beauty he loved to flirt with accepted his newest development in his life. But then again, she was always more willing to be the accepting one when it came to things involving him then what Riley was a lot of the time. "Thank you Maya."

The sincerity in his voice could easily be heard and the girl didn't need to ask or think too much on what he was thanking her for. "Anytime Wolfy, anytime. Now… Let's get inside where its warmer and I can ask you all sorts of questions."

And that was something he certainly didn't mind doing. Plus sitting down a good while would help with the healing process after that damnedable fall thanks to the ice patch on the roof. "With an invitation like that, how can I refuse Miss Penelope?" Replied the teenager with a smile and a fake hat tip that made her roll her eyes good naturedly.

Placing his arm around her shoulders again, she helped him inside and to the elevator and then to her apartment. He plunged right on to the couch with a happy look on his face much to Maya's amusement and it wasn't long before the questions started flying and the answers were given. Lucas had to admit though that he was happy as heck he finally had someone to talk about this with as it'd been lonely as Hell going through this new change by himself. The fact Maya pretty much accepted him made it a hundred times better as well.

Author's Notes: Well this one came out quicker then the two Arrow fics I've been working on. Yay for inspiration I suppose!
