━︎━︎━︎━︎𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐓 𝐎𝐍 the hood of Stiles' Jeep beside her brother with Stiles standing beside the Jeep, staring down at the map he had drawn circles all over. He had this perfect vision that after their senior year they would all still be together for college. Elaine adored his optimism, but if she was being honest with herself, she wasn't sure it was going to work out the way he wanted it to. Elaine looked at the sky, staring intensely at the full moon. The wolf inside of her was weakly clawing at its cage, but Elaine had learned to control it. That and her powers which had grown.

She held her hand in front of her, her eyes glowing a violet purple as she lifted a flower. She twirled the flower in the air, a small smile pulling on her lips. "Alright, so I found some cool two bedrooms in the Mission District, but they're pretty expensive. A couple in Haight and Ashbury. Also expensive."

Scott turned his head to look at Stiles. "What about Berkeley? Don't a lot of students live around there?"

"Yeah, yeah, we could try Nobb Hill. But, the Jeep would burn through a lot of clutches." Stiles replied, marking it on the map.

Scott raised his brows. "You're bringing the Jeep?"

Stiles looked up at him. "You know the plan, okay. No one gets left behind. That's the plan. Lydia's not gonna have a problem getting into Stamford. Kira's thinking USF. Malia's, uh, gonna, you know, she'll figure something out, okay. The plan is perfect. Except for one tiny detail." His eyes darted to Elaine who wasn't paying him any mind. "That one."

Scott added, "Or we could also wait until we actually get into college and then figure out where to live."

"I have a vision, dude. Okay? And it is a beautiful vision. Don't ruin the vision." Stiles looked back down at the map. "Okay, we can check out the East Bay. Haven't looked at Oakland yet, you know." He looked at Elaine again. "Baby, you gotta help me out here, I need you in the plan."

Elaine hummed, pulling the flower closer to her and grasping it between her fingers. She twirled it and looked at Stiles. "I might take a gap year, stay with you guys wherever you end up."

"Gap year." Stiles nodded. "Gap year, okay, I can work with that." He looked at his girlfriend, a small smile pulling on his lips as he watched her play with the flower in her hands. He then looked at Scott, noticing his eyes were focused on the moon. "You alright? You're starting to feel it?"

Scott shook his head. "No. Just thinking."

Stiles placed the red sharpie down, grabbing Elaine's free hand and interlacing their fingers. "About what?"

"Senior year." Scott answered.

"Senior year, come on, that's, that's. . . that's nothing. That's going to be easy." Stiles dismissed.
