Melissa and the sheriff made there way to the refreshments table- laughing- hand in hand to discuss whether to call it 'official' or not, Stiles dad enjoying the junk food in the process. They agreed they would almost immediately and rejoined the party- Stiles, Lydia, Allison, and Scott feeling pretty proud of them selves and wearing large smiles on their faces.

Derek walked the stairs next, his boots echoing with a loud 'thump' around the room, the rest of the back following in behind him. Erica and Boyd with their arms intertwined, and behind them was Isaac and Cora... holding hands? Allison had to blink a few times to be sure she was seeing that right, Scott had mentioned Isaac having a crush on her before, but she never though Cora saw him in that way before too. And was it just Stiles, or was the brooding beta that is Derek Hale actually showing the slightest hint of a smile?

Erica walked strait up to Allison and Scott where they stood near the tree, Boyd walking as close to the blonde as he physically could. "Allison." she said sweetly, offering a smile, "Thank you for inviting us all to this party."

"Uh...yea. Not a problem." Allison responded, she was dumb founded. This was the first time she had spoken to Erica since she told her that she planned to steel Scott from her.

"And also... I actually do feel bad about what I did to you. Whether you believe me or not, I want you both to know that."

Scott and Allison shared a bewildered look before the blonde continued. "I never actually liked Scott. Not in that way at least. Derek was worried you would hurt him, that you were lying and Scott couldn't notice because of how much he liked you. But I could see he was wrong about that pretty quickly. I'm sorry."

"Well, I forgive you." Scott said, "Not happy Derek did that, but in a weird way, I guess that was how he showed he cares."

Erica smiled at him then turned to Allison, "I hope we can be friends. No hard feelings?"

She could tell Erica was being genuine, and decided she should give this girl a second chance. "Yea, no hard feelings." They shared a quick hug declaring their new friendship, "Hell, maybe us girls can even have a bonding sleep over at my house after the holidays."

"That sounds like it will be lots of fun." She gave her an other smile than walked over to greet Melissa and thank her for opening up her home.

"Its amazing the things that can happen on the holidays." she told Scott with a giggle.

"Its sure is." He agreed pulling her close and holding her in his arms, placing a gentle kiss on the top of her head. She rested her head against his chest with a smile gladly leaning into his warmth.

Lydia half skipped and half walked up to Isaac and Cora, she stopped in front of them tilting her head and pursing her lips with a smile. "So when did this happen?" she asked casually.

They looked at each other then back to Lydia turning bright red. "Like... and hour ago." Cora answered before adding "Why do you care?" trying not to seem like she was getting soft because of her new relationship.

"Oooh. I see." Lydia laughed as she fully understood how their relationship had begun, Cora glared at her daring her to make a joke. "I think its great that you both found somebody." she added quickly not wanting to give them the wrong impression, she really was happy for them.

"I guess Christmas really does bring people together." Isaac said beaming happily at his new girlfriend, who- to Lydia's surprise- smiled back.

"I guess it does. Hey, does anybody know where Jackson is?" The red head questioned, he was the only pack member who hadn't shown up yet. He had sent her a text saying his family was on a plane coming back for the holidays earlier that day so she invited him to come. She hadn't told anybody yet, partly because he never gave her an answer and partly because she wanted to surprise them all.

"No...? Why?" Isaac asked her confused.

"Just... hoping he might show up I guess. You know, come home for the holidays." she paused. "I think I should go get some more soda. We're running low." then she bounced up stairs and disappeared.

"What is she talking about... there's still four unopened two liters on the table."

"Dunno Cora. There's also two six packs of pop under it."

"Wonder where she went..." Cora wondered aloud.
