"LYDIA ISN'T GOING TO HAVE a problem getting into Stanford. Emilie's not going to have trouble getting into Juilliard. Kira's thinking USF. Malia's, uh, gonna, you know, she'll figure something out, okay? The plan is perfect." Stiles said, bringing Emilie out of her haze. She shook her head and removed her eyes from the full moon above her.

"Or, we could actually wait until we get into college before thinking about where we're going to live." Scott suggested, Emilie shrugged her shoulders as she met Stiles's stare. "I mean, Em is going to be in New York so she won't be with us anyway."

"Look, Lydia has been looking, she found a two bedroom and she's already decided that Emilie is going to stay with her on weekends. So yes, she will be with us." Stiles confirmed as he met the girl's confused stare. He shook his head and flailed his arms as he began talking again. "I have a vision, dude. Okay? And it is a beautiful vision. Don't ruin the vision."

Stiles let out a sigh as he turned back to look over his map once more, the red marker reigning in his attention. Emilie clicked her tongue as she turned to face Scott, his dark eyes focused on the full moon. "Okay, we can, uh, we can check out East Bay? Haven't looked at Oakland yet, you know."

Scott nodded absentmindedly, his mind obviously elsewhere. Emilie let out a puff of air before she looked down at the crescent moon necklace that hung around her neck. Thunder rumbled close by and the sky lit up with lightning, but she didn't pay any attention to it. "You all right? You starting to feel it? Scott, Emilie?" Stiles questioned as his attention was brought off of his map and to the two brunettes as they weren't listening.

Scott shrugged his shoulders and turned back to look at Emilie along with Stiles, the two watching as her fingers ran over the necklace that hung below the odd birth mark on her collarbone. She looked up and pushed her hair out of her eyes, her hazel flickering between the two boys. "No, but you both know it doesn't impact me like the normal wolf since, you know, I'm not completely a wolf."

Stiles nodded as he remembered then turned back to Scott. "I was just thinking. Senior year."

"Senior year, come on, that's–that's. . . That's nothing. That's going to be easy." Stiles assured as he dropped his marker, his undecided attention falling onto the older McCall.

"It's more like something Deaton told me once. You ever hear of regression to the mean?" Both Stiles and Emilie shook their heads, Scott nodded and sat up straight as he turned to face the both of them. "It's basically his way of saying that life can't ever be all good or all bad. You know, eventually things have to go back to the middle. So, think about the last few months. Thing's have been good, right?"

"But not amazing." Emilie answered as she scratched the back of her neck, her eyes flickering over to the Beta tied to the tree, their eyes met briefly before she turned her attention back on Scott and Stiles.
