THIS IS NOT A REGULAR UPDATE.

xxxxx

A/N: Please read before you skip ahead.

OK. Before you guys kill me I should probably go explain what this is. First off, I apologize for the delay, I know you expect an update from me every 6-8 days, but you've got to understand that I've been extremely busy lately, not to mention stressed and absolutely drained most of the time. Literally. These days, I'm resembling myself less and less and more a zombie from The Walking Dead.

I'm appearing for VERY IMPORTANT examinations in October/November and in between preparing for that, working on publishing my poetry book, attending school, keeping up the somewhat minimal social life that I've got and writing fanfiction - I seem to be lacking time.

I don't have thirty hands, it's going to take me a while, but I promise I will update as SOON as I can. I'm not going to go on hiatus, because I have only 4-5 more chapters left to write and then I'll be done writing this fanfic for good. I've already got the skeleton ready, so it shouldn't take me too long to finish.

I have considered writing a sequel for this novel, but that depends on your response and if you guys would actually want one (do you?), or I might go ahead and write that Percy Jackson!Stydia AU I haven't gotten to yet. The possibilities are endless. Just stick with me, yeah?

Anyway... So you must be wondering what this update is. WELL I HATE TO REPEAT MYSELF SINCE ALL MY UPDATES CAN BE READ ON MY PROFILE OR ON THE MESSAGES I BROADCAST, but it seems like it hasn't done much for me so I'll just go ahead and tell you guys what I was going to say here.

You have missed an entire chunk (one of my favorite parts of Chapter 7) with the Derek Hale cameo and a lovely stydia moment because I cut that out when I uploaded the chapter by accident. I edited and fixed the initial chapter, so it's added to it for new readers, but for the older ones, I just really want you guys to NOT miss out on this little part of my story, which is why I'm posting it here.

This scene is from "Chapter 7, The Adventures of Daphne & Scrappy-Doo" right before Lydia takes the wheel on the Harley, but since we've all come so far ahead in this story, you can regard it simply as a fluffy one-shot if you'd like.

My gift to you, a sorry present for not being able to update on time. I know you're excited to know what's gonna happen next in the story, maybe you're dissapointed with this update, but I still hope you sympathise with my circumstances and enjoy it.

It's fairly short but hilarious and fluff-filled so please comment and vote.

The next chapter will resume from where the last chapter left off, so you can ignore this entire update if you want (although that'll make me very very sad :(). Anyway, I'll update as soon as I can. I pwomise.

Love you all, muffins. And thank you for cooperating with me!

It's so simple but we can't stay,
over-analyse again, would it really kill you if we kissed?

"So are you like... Scott's butler now?" Derek questioned smugly.

Keep your cool. Keep your calm. You're freaking Spiderman, you could totally kick his ass and eat a corndog at the same time without breaking a sweat. You beat him in the badass department. Just be the bigger person.

Stiles managed a tight smile. "I always look forward to seeing you. You're such a breath of fresh air. Don't you think, honey? Isn't he just a ball of sunshine?" He muttered with his hand pressed against the small of Lydia's back.
