The Kids Aren't Alright -> Teen Wolf

Nate woke up with his phone ringing. He answered it. "Hello?"

"Can I stay at yours tonight? I keep having these vivid nightmares again." Lydia asked.

"Yeah, sure. Did you want me to pick you up?"

"No, thank you. I'm already on my way." She said. She arrived only a few minutes later.

"Hey, what happened?"

"I keep having dreams about Derek's dead uncle. The one who bit me. He said something about the full moon and me having to do something."

"The full moon that's during your party this Wednesday?" She nodded.

"He called it a wormhole, or worm moon or something in my dream. I think something bad's going to happen during the moon."

"Do you want me to be there?"

"Aren't werewolves most unpredictable during the full moons?"

"I'm in control, I have an anchor. Brooke does too if you want her there."

"What about Casey?"

"We don't know how she's going to react to the moon. It's the first one since she hasn't taken her meds."

"And Isaac?"

"Last moon he wasn't in control."

"Well, my parents have a hotel for the night and we have a basement. Maybe we could chain them up there. That way if they end up feeling fine, they can come to the party, and if they're not they can stay in the basement? And that way you can keep them in line." She offered.

"To me that sounds like a plan."

"Great! I'll invite Allison as well. Maybe Scott and Stiles? Or just everybody."

"Sure. I don't think Erica, Boyd and Logan will be there, though."

"Fair enough."

"Did you want me to help you prepare?"

"I was wondering if you could pick up the groceries with Isaac, while me and the girls talked dresses?"

"Sure. Anything I could give my opinion on?"

"I want it to be a surprise." She smiled.

"Then I'll ask Isaac to help me with the groceries and the girls can help you pick out a dress. Just be sure that Casey is done before it gets dark, in case she doesn't have control."

"Sounds like a plan."

Later that evening, Isaac and Casey were together in Lydia's basement. "Are you worried?"

"No, I know that I just need to find an anchor." He said.

"I want to apologize in advance if I hurt you. I don't know how this is going to affect me."

"It'll be okay, whatever happens, we'll heal."

Nate and Brooke felt the moon reaching its peak, but they felt in control. Stiles showed up with Scott and Allison. Aside from the people who were there, not many others were.

"We've completely ignored her for the past two weeks." Nate heard Allison say.

"I can use my co-captain status to get the lacrosse team here?" Scott offered. Brooke was also already texting people from school and Stiles somehow was texting people too. Soon the garden was filled with lacrosse players, people from school and a bunch of drag queens. When Lydia opened the door she had a confused look on her face.
