|Prologue.|

//Isaac

From Lyds : Hey, come to the school. Bring Alice too. I receive a text from Lydia as I was lounging on the couch in the apartment.

I text back. To Lyds : On our way.

I stand, making my way down the hall to Alice's room. I frown as I see she's not in there.

"Alice? !" I call out. "Hey, where are you ?!"

"In here !" I hear her voice.

I turn around, following the direction of where I heard her voice. It leads me to Chris' study. I walk in, seeing her running her fingers along Allison's bow but her back was towards me.

"Hey." I say softly.

She turns, tears in her eyes. "I just wish I could've gotten the chance to meet her."

I walk towards her. I'm surprised as she wraps her arms around my waist, hugging me. I soon relax and wrap my arms around her neck, hugging back.

"She would have loved you just as much as I do." I say, kissing the top of her head.

"Really? " She looks up at me with a saddened expression.

"Of course." I wipe away her tear with my thumb, kissing her forehead. "Go get your coat on."

"Where are we going?" She asks, going to grab her coat off of the door.

"To School." I smile faintly.

//Lydia

I pace up and down the school hall, typing away on my keyboard of my phone.

To Scott, Stiles, Kira, Malia : Where are you guys ?? It's almost starting

"Hey. Lydia" I hear, looking up to see Isaac followed by Alice.

I was the first to know about Alice's sudden "change." So I'm not surprised at the new face in front of me.

"Hey, you guys came." I smile, hugging Alice first and then Isaac.

//Isaac

"Yeah, so are you gonna tell me why everyone's here ?" I ask, prying my arms from around her waist.

"Well--just the seniors are here, and it's the official senior scribe ceremony." Lydia explains.

"What's that ?" Alice asks.

"It's where all the seniors write their initials on a bookshelf in the library." I explain.

"Yeah, and believe it or not, our principal is the first actual senior to write his initials on that same bookshelf." Lydia tells us while pursing her lips together a bit.

"That I did not know." I laugh.

"It's called researching and reading. You should try it sometime, Lahey." Lydia playfully nudges my shoulder.

"Yeah yeah." I pinch her cheek a bit.

At that moment she gives the most beautiful smile ever and I couldn't help but notice.

"You two have a strong connection." I hear--well, at least I thought I heard Alice say.

"What was that Alice? " I ask.

"Ah, nothing." She smiles to herself.

"Thank God." Lydia says as Kira, Scott, Stiles and Malia show up all drenched. "Where have you guys been? The whole senior class is here. "

"We uh--got a bit caught up in the rain." Scott says.

Lydia chuckles, nodding. "I can see."

"Hey, Isaac, man. Longtime, no see." Stiles hugs me then turns towards Alice. "Who's this? And--oh hey, where's Alice ?"

"This is--"

"Alice ?" Scott says, staring at her in bewilderment.

"Okay, maybe time traveling is real." Stiles squints his eyes a bit. "Wha--how ?"

"Uhh." I chuckle. "I really can't explain."

"So. Are we doing this or not?" Lydia says, leading the way to the library.

"Oh yay, the line's not that long." Stiles claps a bit, making us laugh.

"This isn't vandalism, is it?" Kira asks.

"Not technically." I tell her.

Stiles goes to sign his initials first. I peek over, watching as his eyes find their way over to D.H., Derek's initials. He gives the letters a long look and then signs his own.

Lydia goes up next, signing her name. Then Kira, and then it becomes my turn. I.L., I put down, thinking for a bit. I smile sadly as I put down E.R and V.B. They belong on that shelf as well.

Scott goes after me, putting his initials. I see him write something but I couldn't quite make it out until he moves over to his spot next to Kira ... A.A.

"She would have been with us." Stiles says.

An arm around Kira, Scott says. "Yeah."

Lydia adds, "She still is."

Alice lays her head on my shoulder as I feel Lydia grab my hand. I smile softly over at her as we stare at the bookshelf.

Hey-o so that was the prologue. Chapter one soon.
