"Hold, hold on, hold onto me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady"

Stiles' pov:

After our day of swimming with dolphins, which made Lydia just about the happiest person on earth, which made me the second happiest person on earth, the four of us headed back to the beach house. Allison had taken lots of pictures and videos of us while she waited, so when we arrived home, we looked at them.

"Oh my gosh, my face!" Lydia exclaimed, pointing at Allison's phone and laughing hysterically. It was a candid photo of her holding onto the dolphin's fin as it swam around, and she looked so awkward, still beautiful, but awkward. Her mouth was open, and her eyes were squinting, avoiding the water that was splashing up into her face. We all laughed along with her, and looked at a few more, until there were no more left.

"So, now what?" Allison asks, resting her feet on the couch, with her hands placed behind her head as a pillow.

"How 'bout a movie?" Scott suggests.

"Yes! Pleaseeeeee can we watch the Little Mermaid?" Lydia begs.

"No, Lydia." Scott groans.

I shoot a nasty glare his way, and he rolls his eyes back at me, dropping his arms in defeat.

"Fine."

Lydia claps and gives him a big smile. "Thanks, Scoot!"

"Scoot?" He asks, somewhat confused at the nickname.

"Yeah, Scoot. Like Scott with two o's and one t."

"I'm aware, but since when is that what you call me?"

"You have no idea." Lydia smirks, looking over at Allison who nods in agreement.

"There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her"

Allison and Lydia sing along. Scott and I would never admit it, but we mumble some of the words under our breath.

"And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl"

Finally, we willingly join their singing and dancing.

"Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you to
There is one way to ask her"

I look over and find Scott standing behind Alli with his arms around her small baby bump, kissing her cheek.

'It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

[Sing with me now]

Sha la la la la la, my oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl"

I pull Lydia close, which must startle her because she jumps a little, and lean my nose on her's before kissing her softly.

"Sha la la la la la, ain't that sad
Ain't it a shame, too bad
He gonna miss the girl

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you'd better do it soon
No time will be better
