So I decided that I would write another short. Maybe this will give me some inspiration. So this one is AH/AU from the Fandom of Love On A Full Moon, not just Teen Wolf. This short is in the third person. Warning: Don't expect much/any smut from this short, and there is also some medium fluff from our favorite couples.
DISCLAIMER: I only own my short. You know who the characters belong to.
"And why do we have to go out with them?" Derek whined at the shorter brunette in front of him.
"Because I haven't gotten to hang out with them in a while." Ellie had told him, hiding the fact that her friends told her that they thought her new fiancé was antisocial.
She frowned at her boyfriend, seeing the reluctance in his eyes, "Please, can you do this for me?" The brunette batted her eyelashes, instantly turning the green-eyed taller man to mush.
"No fair." Derek uttered, softly smiling at his girlfriend. Ellie laughed, pulling him in for a soft kiss. Derek didn't let her lips go, causing her chuckle. She raised her hands to his neck, softly pulling at the soft dark hair. When she realized the kiss was getting heated, she pulled back. Derek sighed, unsuccessful in trying to make his fianceé forget that they had somewhere to be.
"Nice try, Derek." She caught on to his plan. "It almost worked this time." She zipped up her coat and slid into the passenger's seat of Derek's Camaro. The older male slipped into the car next to her and started the car.
Three minutes into the drive, Ellie grabbed Derek's free hand after noticing the uneasy look on his face. "Don't look so nervous. They like you. They'll take the news well." She encouraged him.
He scoffed, "I'm not nervous."
She rolled her chocolate brown eyes, "Right. My mistake."
Upon nearing the entrance of Gallagher's Bowling Alley, Ellie immediately recognized the taller brunette and the shorter strawberry blond with their boyfriends.
"Scottie!" Ellie exclaimed, letting Derek's hand go to hug her best friend.
Derek never liked the way Ellie would get excited upon seeing him. He was a bit jealous of her relationship with her longtime best friend.
"Hands off, Elise." Scott teased, peeling his best friend off. He knew that Ellie hated her name. Yet he used it every chance he got.
"And you wonder why your X-box suddenly went missing." Ellie muttered. Nevertheless, she went to hug Allison, who she hadn't seen in a few months. "Hey Ally! I missed you!"
"I missed you too, Ellie." The taller brunette gushed, hugging back. "How's it going in USC?"
"Everything's fine. Although Derek and I are having a hard time looking for an apartments." Derek noticed Scott's carefree attitude change into a protective one. It wasn't a secret that Scott was uncomfortable with Ellie's serious relationship with an older man. Ellie continued, "How about you?"
"Scott and I are doing great. I just moved in with him." Ally offered, causing Scott grab her hand. Ellie laughed at her favorite couple, turning to Lydia and Jackson. Although she never really liked Jackson that much, he put up with Lydia, so he earned her respect and approval.
"Lyd!" Ellie smiled, air 'kissing' her best friend, who had recently just arrived back from Paris. Lydia smiled in response, then nodded her head toward her boyfriend. "Jackson."
"Ellie." He replied in the same monotone.
Ellie backed up, grabbing Derek's hand again. "You guys remember Derek, right?"
"Yeah." They are chorused awkwardly.
Oh brother, Ellie thought. She discreetly hid her engagement ring. This was definitely going to be harder than she thought. Ellie then noticed that the most important pieces of the gang were missing. For some reason, it seemed that her brother and Erica were late, again.
Scott noticed Ellie look for Stiles' car. "Stiles and Erica are gonna be late. Something about Erica messed up the navigation system again."
She sighed, relieved. "Typical." Ellie knew that as much as Erica loves her brother and vice versa, those two argued like an old married couple. "We should go in, it's starting to get cold."
Everyone agreed and they followed Ellie inside, reminiscing about the times that they had spent there together. Everyone else was hungry, so they had went over to the food counter to buy a couple of pizza pies.
"That guy gives me the creeps." Allison started, out of Ellie and Derek's earshot.
"Ditto to that." Lydia added in agreement.
Scott sighed, "I don't like it either. They're looking for a place to live together and I hate that. But Ellie's like a sister to me and I'm going to trust her judgement, until he proves me wrong."
"I don't really care." Jackson added, causing Lydia to slap his the chest.
In the meantime, Ellie and Derek were setting up the game and renting their bowling sneakers.
"How old are these sneakers?" Ellie whined.
"Probably been here since 1953." Derek offered, wincing at the smell.
"Well, good thing I came prepared." Ellie whipped out a can of febreeze out of her bag. Derek looked at her incredulously.
"What?" She said casually, while spraying the inside and outsides of the shoes thoroughly.
"You keep a can of febreeze in your bag?"
She shrugged, "Occasionally."
Derek snorted a laugh, "On second hand, I'm not surprised."
Finally, Erica and Stiles had made it through the door. Of course they were arguing, but when are they not? Ellie smiled brightly, pulling her boyfriend to her brother and his girlfriend.
"Hello, twin." She greeted her twin brother, giving him a hug.
"Ellie." Stiles smiled, squeezing his sister back.
"Hey, Erica!" She greeted, hugging the blonde. Ellie hadn't seen Erica since they graduated, what with the secrets she was keeping. Erica definitely had changed, seemingly a full makeover and Ellie had hoped that her brother didn't influence it.
"Hey, stranger!" The blonde replied, hugging her friend.
"Well, lets get this over with. Stiles and I made a bet." Ellie pointedly sent a look at her twin, who was smirking.
"Bathroom!" Allison called out, getting up. The rest of the females followed her lead, with knowing smirks, leaving most the guys confused.
"What's with girls and following each other to the bathroom?" Scott asked, scratching his head.
"Yeah, I don't get that either!" Stiles added.
"The bathroom is like their locker room." Derek answers, causing the others to nod in response. "Who knows, that could be plotting on us right now."
Jackson smirked, realising that Derek could be onto something "I have a plan."
"Seduction." Ellie smirked proudly at her evil genius best friend. "We could seduce them into gutter balls."
Allison looked wary of their plan. "Our biggest threat is Jackson. Will that even work on him?"
Lydia gave Allison a dry look, "Of course it will. How do you think I get him to rent Titanic every week?"
"She right." Ellie added, "We weren't given weapons of mass destruction to waste them. So are we in?"
"I'm definitely in. I'm not losing that bet to my sister." Stiles shivered at the thought of the penalty of losing.
"I'm in too. It's a win-win situation." Scott agreed. They all looked to Derek who was a bit undecided.
He sighed, "I'm in."
"All right. Scott, Allison's first."
-XxxX-
"Ally, you're first." Ellie told Allison as they neared their lane. Little did they know that Scott was about to thwart their plans. Allison picked up her neon green bowling ball, sauntering up to her lane.
Ellie watched as Scott walked up behind her. Oh no, she thought. "Looks like the boys were talking while we were." She whispered to Erica. "She's basically a sitting duck!"
He stood behind her, just talking to her. All of a sudden, the girls hear an audible gasp that causes her to drop the ball. In the gutter.
"That slimeball!" Ellie cursed. She looked to the boys' table who were all smirking. She looked specifically at Derek. She pulled out her phone, texting the words 'That was a drty trick!' He shrugged, still smirking at her.
A disgruntled Ally came back to the table, looking flustered. "What did he say to you?" Ellie asked.
Her cheeks went a deep red, "I'd rather not say."
"You are so weak." Lydia commented in a bored tone.
It was now Stiles turn. He gulped knowing that this was a war, and Erica was going all out. As he neared the boy's lane, he heard the distinctive click-clack of Erica's tall riding boots. 'I'm strong.' he reminded himself. He felt a small hand touch his arm, giving him goosebumps.
She smirked at the effect that she had on him. Ellie turned away, disgusted by the thought of someone seducing her brother in front of her. But to her surprise, the ball made it down the lane, but hit only 4 pins.
In the span of a half hour, the girls were down by ten points, and the boys were starting to get smug. After Jackson got showed up by Lydia, it was finally Ellie's turn. Ellie glared at the disgustingly light pink ball that she was stuck with. She quickly grabbed the ball, walking up to the girls' shared lane. The game was almost over, and their team was riding on hers and Lydia's turn.
Ellie stuck her fingers into the slots and took a deep breath, calmly walking to her lane. After their previous performance, Ellie hadn't anticipated Derek's next sabotage attempt.
"Don't you think this is getting a little childish?" Ellie spoke, hearing Derek's obvious footfalls behind her.
"You started it." Derek answered petulantly.
