Wolf Moon - 2

BEACON HILLS PRESERVE

[Scott, Aurora, and Stiles 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. The three are talking about the day's practice as their feet get wet in the water]

SCOTT: 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.

STILES: Smell things? Like what?

Scott: like the cherry lip balm in Aura's bag.

Aurora: And the mint mojito gum in your pocket.

[Stiles makes a face as though he thinks Scott and Aurora are crazy]

STILES: 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 Aurora sensed. Scott raises both of his arms to the side as if to say, "I told you so." Stiles considers this for a moment before he continues]

"That's insane"

"Moony, what's in my pocket" James whispers to him while Remus just gives him a 'really?' look.

STILES: So all this started with the bite?

[Stiles and Aurora seems to find this intriguing, while Scott, ever the nurse's son, is concerned that something is wrong with him]

SCOTT: What if it's like an infection? Like, my body's flooding with adrenaline before I go into shock or something?

[Stiles gets a small smirk on his face and shares a look with Aurora before both of them try to make themselves look as serious as possible, which Scott, who is walking in front of them, doesn't catch]

"You two are always up to something' Noah says shaking his head at the pair who smile innocently at their dad.

STILES: You know what? I actually think I've heard of this-- it's a specific kind of infection.

SCOTT: Are you serious?

Aurora: Yeah. Yeah, I think it's called lycanthropy.

Remus shifts uncomfortably in his seat which Aurora catches and she comes to a conclusion.

[Scott, still not realizing that Stiles and Aurora are messing with him, starts to panic]

SCOTT: What's that? Is that bad?

Aurora: Oh, yeah, it's the worst. But only once a month.

SCOTT: Once a month?

STILES: Mm-hmm. On the night of the full moon. Aroooo!

[Stiles fake-howls like a wolf, and Scott, annoyed, shoves him away, causing Stiles and Aurora to giggle in amusement]

People laugh in amusement while lily looks at the pair,  "you really shouldn't joke about things like that" which gets ignored by Stiles and Aurora who were too busy laughing.

STILES: Hey, you're the one who heard a wolf howling!

SCOTT: Hey, there could be something seriously wrong with me! And you too Aurora!

STILES: I know! You guys are Werewolves! Rawrrr!

[Scott is clearly not impressed by this joke, and Stiles' demeanor becomes serious]

STILES: 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.

"Uh oh"
