[So, uh, spur of the moment...]

Season Three

Lydia noticed Maggie and smiled. "Get in. Are you okay?"

Maggie nodded. "Yeah."

Lydia nodded and said, "It is not a double date. It is a group thing."

Allison frowned. "Do they know it's a group thing? 'Cause I told you that I'm not ready to get back out there."

Lydia let out an annoyed sigh. "You were in France and didn't do any dating for four months?" She turned to Maggie. "And you. I barely hear from you, and suddenly you're near my car?"

Maggie shrugged. "I was busy. Sorry."

"You're lying."

"Am not."

"Yes you are."

"Ask my brother. I was."

Allison asked, "Did you? I mean, after..."

"Do not say his name," Lydia retorted.

"Everything was dealt with?" Maggie inquired. "He's okay?"

Lydia sighed again. "Well, the doctors looked like total idiots when he turned up alive, but everyone got over it. And yes, Derek taught him the werewolf 101, like how not to randomly kill people during the full moon."

"So then you've talked to him?" Allison wondered.

"Uh, not since he left for London."

"You mean since his dad moved him to London."

Lydia pursed her lips. "Whatever, he left. And seriously, an American werewolf in London? Like, that's not gonna be a disaster."

Maggie laughed softly. "It sounds like a good bad disaster movie." Lydia shot her a look. "Sorry."

Allison glanced at Lydia. "So you're totally over him?"

Lydia let out a scoff. "Would I be going on a double date if I wasn't? Yes, it is a double date. It's not an orgy. You'll live. Maggie gets a pass this time."

Maggie frowned. "Hey. I'll avoid him for as long as I want to. I didn't want to talk, but his countless texts and calls didn't seem to get that."

Allison turned to her. "But wasn't it sweet?"

"I will spell you."

Lydia glanced at Maggie with a frown. "Be nice."

Maggie rested her head on the window. A blue Jeep caught her attention. "Oh my god," she muttered. "Lydia, drive faster."

Allison glanced at what she looking at and turned to their friend. "Lydia, go! Just go!"

"But the light," Lydia protested.

The light was red, and they were stuck at it, as were the boys. Maggie shrunk deeper into the seat, not wanting to be confronted by either boy. Especially a certain spastic boy who had been calling and texting all summer.

Stiles opened the window, calling out to them.

Lydia ran a red. "You two all right?"

"Wonderful," Maggie muttered.

Allison said after a moment, "Lydia, stop. We need to go back and talk to them."

Maggie glanced back. "Why'd the Jeep stop?"

Lydia sighed. "It's Scott and Stiles. Do you really wanna try applying logic to those two? Maggie, you know that better than any of us."

Maggie rolled her eyes. "I seriously doubt logic is in their vocabulary. Maybe they know something."
