This'll be a quick update (like, within a week update) to make up for my disappearance over a couple of months, and considering this wasn't the first time makes it even worse *pout* Anyways, most of you know I've got all of my shape-shifter plus their imprints stories all planned out and whatnot.

But my friend who is also a writer on here, pitched the idea of having one of the boys imprint on… another boy. And, me being a total yaoi fangirl, I love the idea. And looking through everything, I think I want to pair said boy imprint to Embry… just seems like a fun idea. And then change the story that I originally planned Embry/OC will be turned over to Collin/OC since my original Collin/OC had a not so original story idea. Anyways, the new Embry/OC is slash/yaoi.

I'd love your input!

Review?

**Jelly-Bean-Jr.

Lakota's point of view:

"So you aren't still mad at Jacob?" Seth questions for the freaking hundredth time. Rolling my eyes dramatically I flick Seth on the forehead.

"No. I'm not. Bella kissed him. Jacob imprinted on me. I am not mad at Jacob, got it?" I ask, again, for the hundredth time might I add. Seth squints, staring at me thoughtfully for a long time before nodding slowly.

"Yeah, yeah, got it." I nod, smiling to myself and letting out a sigh. Seth and I walking alongside the road in La Push and towards first beach in complete and total silence. Until…

"Are you sure you're not mad at-"

"Oh my jesum, Seth! I'm not mad!" I spazz out, throwing my hands up in irritation. Seth then acted like he had a reason to be surprised at my outburst. Blinking a few times he shrugs and nods like an eager puppy, linking his arms with mine.

"Okay, got it!" He chirps happily. Unable to tear my glare away from his face I scrunch my nose up. He better have gotten it. Shaking my head I sigh and lean against his arm, grumbling a little sourly under my breath. All in all, the 'fun things' I had in mind today included an obvious trip to the ice cream store, cliff diving, a fun game of hide-and-seek, and then go over to everyone's house to kidnap their pillows and blankets and make a massive ass fort.

Seth's idea was to introduce me to the not so stable newcomers of the pack.

And, apparently, no amount of persuasion would change Seth's freaking mind. Because, as he said, and I quote, 'man, Kota, they're awesome! Plus, I'm not the youngest in the pack anymore! It's awesome', much emphasis on the awesome part, by the way.

"So who are these newcomers again?" I ask, glancing up at Seth's smiling face. Who, despite his beefed up body, looked exactly like the 14 year old kid I befriended not so long ago.

"Brady and Collin," he states, "they phased only 2 days apart from one another and they've just managed to phase back into their human forms. So Sam told me to watch after them… and then Jacob told me to watch after you. So I thought, why not introduce you to them?" If I was a brainless moron, I would say Seth's plan was flawless and absolutely brilliant in every way.

But, really, I think Seth is making some big trouble for himself.

Poor kid.

"And Sam and Jacob won't be mad?" I tested, raising an eyebrow in his very face. Seth pauses, seeming to consider it before shrugging.

"Maybe. But as long as I'm there to protect you, it should be fine. And, as long as you don't do anything to make Brady or Collin mad, it's no problem." I make a face at that and cross my arms.

"What if I don't like them?"

"What?"

"If I don't like them, then shouldn't I make them mad?" For some reason, Seth looked lost.

"…no, you shouldn't. They'll turn into wolves."

"But what if I don't like them?" I insist, Seth completely missing out on the importance of the question.

"Keep it to yourself," he decides, giving me a childish grin. I scowl and look away. Today was less fun than I thought it'd be.

"Why can't we just go get ice cream and cliff dive?" I grumble quietly, knowing Seth would hear me regardless. Don't get me wrong, meeting new potential friends is fun and everything – but sometimes there's just better things to do. I give Seth another weak glare from the corner of my eyes. Jacob would've taken me to ice cream and cliff dive. Sure, he might've not have dropped the graduation thing as quickly as Seth had… but at least I'd have fun while being annoyed.

"Stop pouting, Kota. I promise you'll have fun. Collin and Brady are awesome guys when you get to know them."

"That's awesome," I say, too indulged in my own slight bitterness to even bother with my sarcasm towards the very innocent Seth. I mean, all he wanted to do was introduce me to his friends…

Puffing out my cheeks I pat his bicep – unable to reach his shoulder – in a somewhat apology, "you can be a real Gremlin popper, you know that?"

"Oh," he murmurs, looking crestfallen for a few seconds before he perks up quickly, his hand shooting up to wave at someone enthusiastically in the distance. I roll my eyes and cross my arms. I guess I'm back to pouting. Without warning Seth's hands shoot towards me and he yanks me onto his back, sprinting forward with a wide grin on his face while I was left with my first ever feeling of motion sickness.

"Seth!" I squeal like a baby pig, sinking my nails into his shoulders so I wouldn't fall off his back. He doesn't even bother looking over his shoulder at me or acknowledge my nails in his skin when he stops in front of two, almost identical, looking guys. Collin and Brady, I assume. It was then Seth glanced over his shoulder at me and my wide eyes, gently setting me on my feet.

"That was fun, wasn't it Kota?" he asks, grinning so wide I wondered where his brown eyes went with all the squinting.

"You're definitely buying me food after this," I groan, rubbing my eyes and peeking over at Collin and Brady again, noticing their wide grins sent our way. I eye them up for a second before holding out my hand for them.

"I'm Lakota," I state simply, satisfied when one of them grabs onto my hand and shakes it happily.

"I'm Collin," he introduces, and, without breaking hand contact, uses his other hand to point at the guy next to him, "and that's Brady." Frowning, Brady reaches forward and slaps Collin's wrist not so gently and grabs my hand for himself.

"Very nice to meet you, Lakota," he practically purrs, making my left eye twitch. Seth, not seeming to like it either, whines loudly in the background.

"Oh come on, guys. You know she's with Jacob," he grumbles, stuffing his hands in his pockets. Taking that as my cue, I slip my hand away from Brady's, noticing the way both Collin and Brady's faces light up into smirks. The next thing I know, I'm slung over Brady's shoulders as he laughs like a mad man, and Collin found it in himself to hold Seth back while Brady ran. Shouting out my complaints I slap a hand over my eyes, feeling the need to throw up at how fast he was running.

Not knowing how much time passes Brady eventually stops running and drops me on my butt not so gently, looking down at me with a wide grin. I glare up at him and shake my head, standing up to dust myself off.

"What was that for, you nugget?" I ask irritably, he pouts in response and shrugs.

"It was Collin's idea." Right. Giving him a look I roll my eyes and glance around, not entirely sure which part of the forest we were in at the moment.

"We, uh," I glance back at him, raising an eyebrow, "we just wanted to get Seth in trouble," he explains lamely. Shrugging at that I plop back down on my butt, giving Brady a thoughtful look.

"How much money do you have on you?" He blinks.

"Uhm… twenty bucks at the most," I grin widely. That'll do just fine.

"Alright, since you found it in yourself to kidnap me, you are now in charge of mwah," I point out, "which means you have to feed me." Brady frowns, scratching at his head.

"Yeah… we were kind of hoping Seth already did that."

"Well, he didn't. So now you have to feed me or I'll starve," I complain, putting my hands on my hips and giving him my puppy dog eyes. Blinking a few times he makes a face, putting a hand over my eyes.

"You're going to hurt yourself by doing that. It's creepy," he says simply, picking me back up piggyback style. I smile happily, wrapping my arms around his neck and giving it a hard squeeze before kicking at his hip.

"Giddy up, boy."

"You're going to ride me now?" He asks, looking over his shoulder with the biggest perverted grin I've ever seen. I scowl, slapping him over the head.

"Just go buy me food."
