abriella slams her car door shut, slinging her school bag over her shoulder as scott talked about his nightmare to Gabriella and stiles.

"And then what? You killed her?"

They walk from the parking lot toward the school.

"I don't know. I woke up. I was sweating like crazy and I couldn't breathe. I've never had a dream where I woke up like that" Scott said nervously

"I have. But it usually ends a little differently"

Gabriella face twisted "please, spare me the details. I don't need to hear about your twisted fantasies. Keep that stuff to yourself, alright?"

"yea never again and  I've never had a dream that felt that real." Scott said

"Noted. But I'm going to take a guess here--" Stiles was interrupted by scott

"I know. You think it has something to do with me going out with Allison tomorrow. Like I'm afraid I'm going to lose control and rip her throat out."

"No, of course not" Scott looked at stiles not believing him "Yeah, that's totally it"

Scott nods, head slung low.

Gabriella put her hand on scotts shoulder "It was just a dream and dreams aren't reality"

"I know, but all of it--chasing her, dragging her back onto the bus--it felt so real"

"How real?" Stiles questioned

"Like it actually happened"

Gabriella paused looking at the scene infront of her "Maybe it did..."

Across the parking lot police tape cordons off one of the school buses.

Sheriff Stilinski and his Deputies oversee a Lab Tech examining the rear bus door hanging from its hinges.

And worse... there's blood on it.

[...]

Scott, Gabriella and Stiles search the corridor for Allison.

"She's probably fine--"

"She's not answering my texts." Scott keeps glancing at his own phone, hoping for a response.

"she probably lost her phone... You know, it could be a coincidence"

"A seriously amazing coincidence"

" Stiles your not helping"

A hand comes down on Scott's back. He nearly leaps off his feet.

But it's just another student and with the first student many came after

The accolades keep coming.

Stiles and Gabriella notices, genuinely surprised by the attention Scott is getting, but Scott's only distracted, desperately searching for Allison, glancing from every and any female face.

Starting to panic, he pushes past, leaving Stiles and Gabriella behind.

Around a corner, breath so heavy he's almost gasping, Scott backs himself against one of the lockers. Anxiety rising to anger, he raises his hands, fingers clenching together.

He whirls around, SMASHING a fist into one of the lockers.

The locker DOOR crumples like aluminum foil, swinging down off its hinges.

Strangely reminiscent of the bus door.

Gabriella came around the corner to find Scott who was about to wolf out and she looked past him to see Allison who was coming down the stairs.

Scott punched a locker making all of the contents spill out it, a shocked Gabriella drags Scott away from the locker.  "Scott breath, Allison is by the stairs she's ok"

Scott looked at the stairs to see Allison looking at them confused on why the locker next to them was busted.

Scott calmed down and gained back control.

" next time wait before you destroy school property"

Scott ignored Gabriella and walked to Allison just in time to miss Jackson walking to his locker.

The Same Exact Locker Scott punched and left hanging off its hinges.

Gabriella shakes her head pretending nothing happened and then hurries past trying to find stiles as Jackson grabs his locker door and begins trying to bend it back into place.

[...]

Gabriella walked to her class and as she entered, she saw erica the girl from the hospital.

she smiled and walked to sit next to her erica didn't notice because she was busy looking out of the window at the cops around the bus "hey! your back!"

Erica snapped out of thoughts when Gabriella sat down "Oh, um... hi. Yeah, I'm back. How have you been?"

"I'm good but I can't say the same for whatever was caught in that bus"

"what do you think it is?"

"probably a rabbit, maybe it was hunted down by a mountain line" Gabriella lied through her teeth knowing the blood was human as she smelled it when they thought it was Allison who was died.

"Um, yeah...that's definitely a possibility. It's just really sad to think about what happened to the rabbit"

"Well, the rabbit made its sacrifice it wasn't the going to be the rabbit it would have been one of us" Gabriella said trying to make it better

"Oh, um...yeah, I guess you're right. It's just hard to think about it that way. Poor rabbit didn't deserve that fate"

before they could say anything their teacher, Mr. Harris, walked to the board and started writing down chemical interactions while everyone except Scott and Stiles stopped talking.

Scott and Stiles tried to whisper to each from their seats but failed horribly.

"Mr. Stilinski, if that's your idea of a hushed whisper you might want to pull the earphones out once in a while. I think you and Mr. McCall would benefit from a little distance. Yes?" He points to two empty seats on either side of the classroom.

Scott and Stiles stand and cross to their new seats. Scott's desk is right in front of Jackson. Scott sits, very aware of Jackson's eyes on his back.

"Let me know if the separation anxiety gets to be too much"

As he turns back to the board, Harley gazes up from her seat. "Hey look! They found something!"

Everyone turns to a student pointing out the window.

They found a body!

In one motion the class bolts to the window to see for themselves, even Mr. Harris.

Outside the window, an ambulance sits parked by the woods. two Emt's emerge from the foliage, pushing a gurney. Strapped to it is a MAN'S BODY.

Erica whispered under her breath "That's not a rabbit"

The gurney rolls toward the ambulance when suddenly the body atop it LURCHES UP.

THE ENTIRE CLASSROOM SCREAMS.

As the EMT's ease the victim down, Scott steps back from the others. Stunned. Devastated. Gabriella slowly approaches.

" This is good. He's not dead. He got up. A dead guy can't do that"

"guys... I did that"

[...]

Lunch trays in hand, Gabriella, Stiles and Scott head to an open table in the cafeteria.

"Dreams aren't memories"

"Then it wasn't a dream. Something happened last night. And I can't remember what"

They sit down at a table together with their trays

Gabriella knew scott was freaking out so she suggested "then I'll help you to remember, tonight we'll go back to the bus and were going to Let your senses remember for you"

Scott just looked at her confused "that doesn't make sense"

" just trust me it will work"

" and if we doesn't...I can't go out with Allison. I have to cancel"

"No, you don't. You can't cancel your entire life. We'll figure this out"

Lydia sits down next to Gabriella with her tray "Figure what out?"

Scott looked at lydia werided out "Uh... Homework. Just homework"

Stiles pauses with a French Fry held just at his lips.

Lydia is sitting with them. Voluntarily.

He leans over to whisper to Gabriella "Why is she sitting with us?"

"we are friends I think, and Scott is kinda popular"

Allison comes over and Scott removes his backpack from the seat he was saving for her.

Stiles still holds that French Fry, watching with increasing surprise as Lydia's GIRLFRIENDS, one of Jackson's lacrosse TEAMMATES and DANNY THE GOALIE sit down with them as well.

Glancing to Gabriella who was zoned out thinking about what she'll say to Scott to help him remember, Stiles gives her a big smile before feeling someone sit next to him.

it was Danny he sat on his right. Gives him a smile too. Danny looks at him as if to say "In your dreams."

Finally, Stiles starts eating that French Fry, quite pleased to see that the popular table has come to them.

Until Jackson comes over. He glares at his Teammate "Get up"

"How come you never ask Danny to get up?"

"Because I don't stare at his girlfriend's coin slot." as Danny said that he snapped Gabriella back to reality and making her chuckle quietly as The Teammate grabs his tray and gets up.

Jackson sits down next to Lydia and Danny. But his glare fixates on Scott. Not at all happy this kid has somehow infiltrated his crew.

"So they're saying it's an animal attack. Probably a cougar"

"I heard mountain lion"

" A cougar is a mountain lion" Lydia glances up to see she's corrected her boyfriend, but jackson just looked at her confused which made lydia act dumb again "isn't it?"

"Who cares? The guy's probably some homeless tweaker who's gonna' die anyway"

Gabriella who had enough of jackson turned to him " are you always this presumptuous or are you just mad because the everyone likes Scott better than you now"

people sitting at the table snuffled their laugh, and before Jackson can retaliate stiles spoke up " Actually, I just found out who he is"

The others turn to Stiles to see him looking at his phone "Check this out"

Everyone crowds around to watch a NEWS REPORT on the display, Only Lydia stays where she is, utterly indifferent.

--identified the victim of the possible animal attack as Garrison Meyers--

Scott looked at the phone face full of horror "I know that guy. I used to take the bus back when I lived at my dad's place. He was the driver"

Lydia who didn't wanna talk about this anymore decided to change the subject "Can we talk about something slightly more fun, please? Like where we're going tomorrow night?"

Allison and Scott whip their heads around to Lydia in confusion as Gabriella and stiles looked at the three amused.

" You said you and Scott were hanging out tomorrow, right?"

Alarm bells going off in Scott's mind, he glances over to see Stiles emphatically shaking his head NO and Gabriella hand over her mouth trying to hide her laugh.

" We were thinking of..." allison turned to Scott "What were we going to do?"

"We hadn't decided"

"Well, I'm not sitting at home watching lacrosse videos again. If we all are hanging out let's pick something fun" lydia said making jackson roll his eyes

"Hanging out? The four of us?" Scott said tasting the bitter words

" no, the six of us, you, Allison, Gabriella, stiles, Jackson and me"

Gabriella smiled dropped as she hears that "Excuse me, what"

Stiles leaned closer to Gabriella and whispered " You want to hang out? The six of us? You and me? And them?"

"honestly not really, group dates is not my thing and half of the time it's gonna be awkward"

"Sure. Sounds fun" Allison said out loud agreeing to Lydia's idea which made jackson groan

"You know what else sounds fun? Stabbing myself in the face with this fork"

" I'd bet people would pay to see that" Gabriella said under her breath making lydia kick her from under the table

"Oh, come on, Jackson. How about bowling? You love to bowl"

"Yeah, but with actual competition"

" How do you know we're not competition?" Allison turned to Scott "You can bowl, right?"

"Sort of--"

Jackson glared at scott "Sort of? Or yes?"

Scott glared back "Yes. In fact..."

As Stiles buries his head in his hands and Gabriella raised an eyebrow seeing stiles who was trying to say no to Scott when the idea bowling was brought up, she closed her eyes and focused to Scott's heartbeat.

"I'm a great bowler"

Scott's heartbeat raises as he says that she smiled realizing he was lying and muttered under her breath.

"maybe this isn't such a bad idea"

[...]

Scott slams his head against his locker regretting what he said  " I'm such an idiot"

"It felt like a car wreck. First it turns into the group date. Then out of nowhere comes that phrase--"

Scott interrupted Gabriella "Hanging out"

"You don't hang out with a hot girl. It's death. Once it's hanging out, you might as well be her gay best friend. You and Danny can start hanging out" Stiles exclaimed

"How is this happening? I either nearly killed a bus driver. Or I didn't" Scott said freaking out

"we should meet up tonight to get Scott's memories back to see if he went all psycho" Gabriella said trying to focus on the main problem but the boys were worried about something else

"I don't think Danny likes me"

"I ask Allison on a date. But now we're hanging out"

" but you probably didn't because your eyes are still yellow"

"Am I not attractive to gay guys?"

" I made first line. But the team captain wants to destroy me"

" no that doesn't prove anything the guy isn't dead"

"And now? Now I'm going to be late for work" Scott rushes out the door, eager to make it to work on time, while Stiles, annoyed at having been ignored, exasperatedly calls out after him " Wait, Scott you didn't-- am I attractive to gay guys--"

Stiles raises his arms on either side of him as he sighs in annoyance and mutters under his breath " You didn't answer my question!"

Stiles licks his lips before turning to look at Gabriella.

"don't"

"please"

stiles looked at Gabriella desperately wanting for her to give an answer, Gabriella rolled her eyes before brutely saying.

"the only thing that is going for you is your ass" Gabriella smiled before walking away to her stuff from her locker.

[...]

Gabriella walked into the hospital holding three plastic bag two of them filled with food and one of them wasn't.

" hi am looking for erica Reyes's room" Gabriella asked the nurse she saw as she walked into the hospital, after hearing about Erica's appointment and she has to stay overnight so Gabriella through she would cook erica some food to save her from the hospital's poisons food.   

" are you family?"

" no am her friend, I go to school with her, am Gabriella Gerardo."

"Gerardo? your friends with Scott, he told me about you, am melissa his mother"

"oh, it's nice to meet you Mrs. McCall and here for you and the rest of the staff"

Gabriella took one of the bags that was in her hand and put it on the table, the smell bloomed out of the bag making melissa's mouth water.  " its Lasagne alla Bolognese with Arancini and Tiramisu as desert"

"oh, my god you're a god sent! "

Gabriella chuckled "hardly "i was making some for erica then thought it was a good way to bribe the staff to give erica special treatment. "

"trust me this will pay off and Erica's room is 394 on the third floor"

Gabriella smiled and left to find the hospital room

As Gabriella made it to the room she stood just outside the room, taking a deep breath to steel herself.

Slowly, she pushed the door open and entered. Erica lay in the hospital bed, propped up on pillows, her face pale but still managing a weak smile when she saw Gabriella "Hey Gabby, you didn't have to come"

" Of course, I had to save my bestfriend from food poisoning and I figured you could use some company. Besides, I brought food and movies!"

Gabriella lifted the two bags that were in her hands and pulled a chair up to Erica's bedside, almost knocking over a vase of flowers "Careful there, That vase cost more than my health insurance"

"sorry! I promise I'm better at cooking food than navigating a hospital room"

Erica chuckled and moved her hand forgetting she was attached to an iv that caused a wince of pain to come out of her mouth "Watch it, you're making me laugh, and it hurts. Plus, I'm pretty sure laughter isn't covered by my health insurance either."

" Well, if I'm the cause of your pain, I can always sneak out" Gabriella took a step back pretending to leave

"No way! You came all this way. Besides, I can't endure another round of hospital food, so need the food"

Gabriella smiled and went to get the movie ready as erica made space on the bed for Gabriella.

"This is the best hospital stay I've ever had" erica said as Gabriella was officially next to her

"Well, I aim to please. Now, what movie do you want to watch? Comedy, drama, or something totally mindless?"

"Mindless it is! Let's go for some epic explosions and zero plot depth"

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen it is" Gabriella started the movie and got into the bed next to erica

As the movie played, the smell of the food that Gabriella brought wafted through the room.

Erica looked over at the brunette who produced multiple Tupperware container filled with an array of homemade dishes "You cooked all of this?"

" Yup! Lasagne alla Bolognese with Arancini and Tiramisu Hospital food, meet your match!"

Erica's eyes twinkled with delight as Gabriella served them both. They chatted between bites, sharing stories, and enjoying the simple pleasure of a home-cooked meal.

They continued watching the movie, savoring the food, and occasionally throwing popcorn at the screen when the action got too ridiculous.

[...]

After finishing the food Gabriella brought and watching all the movies, Gabriella had to leave to meet up with Scott and stiles and help the newly turned Werewolf remember what truly happened.

Gabriella's car pulls up to the chain link fence surrounding the high school parking lot.

She gets out of the car and approaching the fence, where Scott and stiles are standing. " Hey ready to find out if your a killer or not."

Scott and stiles looked at her not expecting her to be so blunt.

"she means are you ready to prove that you aren't a killer" Stiles tried to calm scott down

"sure...now lets go"

Scott and Gabriella starts climbing the fence, but pause when Stiles moves to follow but scott stops him "Just us two. Someone needs to keep watch"

"How come I'm always the guy keeping watch?"

" Because there's only three of us and someone needs to keep an eye out because we are breaking into a crime scene and I need to help Scott remember"

Stiles sighed in frustration before raising his arm and saying "Why's it starting to feel like you two are Raven and gar while I'm Jason? I don't want to be jason all the time"

"Nobody's raven, gar or jason any of the time"

"Not even some of the time?"

" Just stay here"

Stiles watches as Scott and Gabriella climb the fence and leap down to the pavement on the other side.

Approaching the bus and whatever memories it might hold inside, Scott pauses to look at the damaged door. He holds still, drawing in a breath and closing his eyes, Gabriella saw his heartbeating faster and saw he was starting to remember "don't fight it let the memories in the more you resist the longer it's gonna take"

Scott's eyes snap open and looked at Gabriella "there was a howl I heard it from my room"

"probably the alpha, is there anything else?"

"No just that."

Gabriella nodded and walked towards the bus as they reach
