Stiles stuck out his tongue and crossed his eyes for the picture which cause Brie to laugh hysterically. She kissed him on the cheek for another photo which caused the boy to blush and smile at her.

They ran out to look at the pictures once they were done and saw that Scott and Allison were waiting to have their own pictures taken.

"I know this probably isn't the best first date in the world but," Stiles said as they stood near the photo booth. "I hope you're having fun."

Brie looked up at him and took his hands in her. "I couldn't have wished for anything better, Stiles," she smiled. "I'm honestly having the best time, it's perfect."

He pulled her in for a hug.

"And thank you for being so nice to Lydia," she continued. "It really means a lot."

He opened his mouth to respond but he was quickly cut off by a scream coming from the centre of the rink.

The pair turned to see Lydia on her knees screaming as loud as she possibly could. Scott and Allison came out of the photo booth while Brie instantly rushed towards her.

"Lydia!" She screamed, trying to pull her best friend up from the floor, Stiles was behind her trying to help her as much as he could.

She made eye contact with Scott before turning back to the strawberry blonde and placing both hands on her shoulders, forcing her to face the blonde.

"Snap out of it!" She shouted. Lydia's eyes seemed to flash yellow and she instantly stopped screaming, leaving only tears in her eyes from her crying.

Bries eyes widened in shock before she continued. "You're okay, Lydia," she comforted her. "It's going to be okay."

——

"How did you do that?" Stiles asked her as they walked into her room. Stiles dropped Scott home first since he wanted to talk to Brie about what had just happened.

"Do what?"

"You told Lydia to 'snap out of it' and then your eyes went yellow and then her eyes went yellow and she instantly just shut up," he explained, pacing the room. "It's as if you just controlled her with your mind."

Brie sighed and flopped down onto the bed. "I have no idea," she said. "I never know I'm doing these stuff until after its done."

"Can you mind control people now?" Stiles seemed to ignore her words. "Do it to me," he sat down in front of her. "Tell me to do something."

Brie gave him an 'are you serious' look.

"Just do it, Brie!"

"Alright!" She gave in, looking around the room to think of something he could do. She finally looked into his eyes and said, "Do a handstand up against the wall."

Nothing happened.

"Maybe try putting your hands on my shoulders like you did with Lydia," Stiles suggested.

Brie sighed and did as she was told. "Do a handstand up against the wall."

Still nothing.

"This is ridiculous, Stiles," she sighed. "I don't want to be thinking about the supernatural right now." She sat up. "Why don't we do something else instead."

"Like what?" Stiles asked, completely oblivious to what she was implying.

Brie leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. She pulled back to look at him. "Like that."
