The three have just crossed the creek in the nature preserve as they attempt to find both the top half of the body Scott found the night before as well as the inhaler he dropped in the process, well Scott and Stiles crossed the creek while Darcy is getting a piggyback from Stiles. The three are talking about the day's practice as their feet get wet in the water
"I-I don't know what it was. It was like I had all the time in the world to catch the ball. And that's not the only weird thing. I-I can hear stuff I shouldn't be able to hear. Smell things" Scott stuttered out
"Smell things? Like what?"
"Probably your desperation" Darcy said causing stiles to drop him
"Oops"
"Like the mint mojito gum in your pocket. Or Darcy smelling like lavender and honey" Scott stated rolling his eyes pulling Darcy up
Stiles makes a face as though he thinks Scott is crazy

"First off Darcy always smells like that he's weird, but I don't even have any mint mojito--"
Stiles checks the inner breast pocket of his blazer and finds, much to his surprise, that there is a single piece of folded-up mint mojito gum, just as Scott sensed. Scott raises both of his arms to the side as if to say, "I told you so." Darcy smacks the gum out of his hand looking at him weird, Stiles considers this for a moment before he continues
"So all this started with the bite?"
Stiles seems to find this intriguing, it made Darcy both worried and suspicious, while Scott, ever the nurse's son, is concerned that something is wrong with him
"What if it's like an infection? Like, my body's flooding with adrenaline before I go into shock or something?" Scott asked worried
Darcy holds his hand in comfort before speaking up
"Hey maybe it a psychological thing?" He suggests hoping that's the only thing wrong with his friend
Stiles gets a small smirk on his face before trying to make himself look as serious as possible, which Scott and Darcy, who are walking in front of him, don't catch
"You know what? I actually think I've heard of this-- it's a specific kind of infection." Stiles says causing Darcy to glare at him slightly not trusting him
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah. Yeah, I think it's called lycanthropy." Stiles continued to mess with him causing Darcy to scoff

Scott, still not realizing that Stiles is messing with him, starts to panic, Darcy done with the conversation walks ahead of them
"What's that? Is that bad?"
"Oh, yeah, it's the worst. But only once a month"
"Stiles shut up" Darcy sighed
"Once a month?" Scott asked glancing between the two
"Mm-hmm. On the night of the full moon. Aroooo!"
Stiles fake-howls like a wolf and Scott annoyed, shoves him away, causing Stiles to giggle in amusement
"Hey, you're the one who heard a wolf howling!"
"Hey, there could be something seriously wrong with me!"
"I know! You're a Werewolf! Rawrrr!"
"I say we leave him here for the murderer as a peace offering" Darcy suggests turning to face them
Scott is clearly not impressed with Stiles joke nods considering his suggestion, and Stiles' demeanor becomes serious
"Okay, obviously I'm kidding. But, if you see me in shop class trying to melt all the silver I can find, it's 'cause Friday's a full moon."
"Silver really?" Darcy asked sarcastically making him shrug
Scott stops walking and looks around, frowning when he doesn't see anything remarkable where they're standing
"No, I-I could have sworn this was it. I saw the body, the deer came running. I dropped my inhaler..."

"Maybe the killer moved the body?" Stiles guessed
"If he did, I hope he left my inhaler. Those things are, like, eighty bucks."
"First why are we assuming the killers male? And second do you think their hot?" Darcy asked leaning against a nearby tree
The other two turned to him giving him a 'what the fuck' look making him shrug
"Just help us you weirdo" Scott laughed
The boys are still looking around when suddenly, a man in his early twenties with pale skin, black hair, a black leather jacket, and a scowl appears in front of them
"What are you doing here?" The man asks

When Scott and Stiles, both of whom are visibly panicking and Darcy who's frozen wide eyed, don't respond, the man's tone gets even gruffer
"Huh? This is private property."
"Uh, sorry, man, we didn't know." Stiles stuttered out, Darcy tries to help but only a squeak manages to escape
The man's attention is focused on Scott, who picks up where Stiles left off to try to relieve the tension
"Yeah, we were just looking for something, but..."
Scott was about to continue until he glares at him, after which point Scott loses his nerve and drops the subject
"...Uh, forget it." Scott mumbled
Suddenly, he tosses Scott's inhaler at him, glancing at Darcy before turning and heading back the way he came without a word, giving Scott one last look and seemingly paying Stiles no attention whatsoever. Scott sighs and gets ready to turn back the opposite direction

"Um... All right, come on, I gotta get to work."
Before Scott can move, Stiles holds him his hand to physically stop him from walking away.
"Dude, that was Derek Hale!" Stiles exclaimed
When Scott looks at Stiles blankly, Stiles' expression becomes incredulous
"You remember, right? He's only like a few years older than us." He asked glancing between his two friends
"Remember what?" Scott frowned confused
"His family. They all burned to death in a fire, like, ten years remember? Darcy's Baba used to threaten that the same would happen to him if he kept eating candy?"
"Woah! Don't bring up Baba Fae memories!" Darcy yelled turning to point at Stiles glaring
"I'm sorry that was too far" Stiles apologized
"I wonder what he's doing back..."Scott mumbled
Stiles scoffs, as though he thinks that nothing good can come of it, before walking away
"Come on"
Darcy runs after him jumping onto his back causing him to stumble
"So Scooty Booty the new girl..." Darcy starts thinking said male was behind them
When he got no answer he turns back, and Scott, still looking toward where Derek headed out, slowly follows behind them
