I blinked my eyes open and sighed. As yesterdays night came rushing back to me, I grinned and hopped out of bed. I did my business and walked out in a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a light purple top.

I skipped down the stairs, heading towards the kitchen. I walked in and saw Austin sitting there, eating breakfast.

He smiled at me and said, "Morning." I skipped over and kissed him on the cheek.

"Woa... someone's happy this morning," Josh said as he walked in. His bed head was sticking out in all directions and his eyes were half opened.

"Yep," I said popping the 'p.'

He chuckled and tried to steal a bacon from my plate, thinking I can't see him. I grabbed his hand and slowly started twisting.

"Now now Josh, what were you doing?"

He flinched,"Psh, why did you think I was doing something?"

" Now mate, as much as I love to see you kick ass, I wouldn't want you breaking my beta's hand," Austin said chuckling.

Ignoring him, I said,"No one and I mean no one touches MY food, got it?"

Josh gulped, "Yes, Ma'm." I smiled letting go of his hand and continued eating.

I shoved all the bacon in my mouth just as the others came in.

"Wassup guys?!" Liam said bouncing into the room. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"You guys want to go for a run? I don't have any work today," Austin said, putting the plate in the sink.

"Sure!" We said.

"Let me get ready," Chloe said running up the stairs.

When Chloe came down, we all gathered outside. We went behind separate trees and stripped off our clothing. I welcomed the feeling of my bones cracking and reshaping into my fox. When the change was finished, I shook out my white fur. I walked out from the tree and saw the others already shifted.

Austin's wolf, a rich brown color with patches of white and black, looked up at me as I approached. He gaped, recognition in his eyes.

'Sky?'

'Hey Austin!'

'You were the fox this whole time?!'

I gave him a look. 'What did you think I was?'

He didn't answer and just stared at me.

'Come on, stop staring at her like a love sick pup, lets go!' Luke said and ran into the woods.

We immediately ran after him. We stopped as Luke skidded to a halt. He turned to as, a smirk on his face, if a wolf can smirk that is.

'Lets play a game.'

'Ohh what game?' Liam said, his eyes lit up with excitement.

'Hide and Seek.'

'Yippee!'

'Ok, I'll count to fifty and you guys go hide.'

'Ok.' We said and ran off.

I ran away from the others as Luke began counting. I saw a hole in the bushes and dove in.

'Gotcha!' I guess he has already found Chloe.

So far, it's only Josh and I left in the game. A few minutes later, he found Josh. Guess I'm the only one left.

'Ok guys, we need to find Sky, Austin you head north, Chloe you south, Liam you head east, and I'll head went.'

Suddenly, I could feel a cold presence near me. I froze and sniffed the air. Nothing. I looked around but saw nothing except the greenery around me.

Paws pounded on the ground near me. The scent of Austin's wolf surrounded me, making me breathe a deep sigh of relief. I can hear him start sniffing.

'Oh I know you're here mate.'

I slipped deeper into the bush, hoping he wouldn't find me. A shadow fell on the bush I'm hiding in, I yelped as Austin poked his head in and grinned wolfishly.

'Found you.'

I stepped out, shaking my fur as I did so while Austin informed the others. He walked over to me and nuzzled my neck, breathing in my scent. I nuzzled him back.

'Come on, lets go back to the others,' I said.

I turned around, flicking my tail at his muzzle. He snorted behind me and launched himself at me. I yelped as I fell down, with him on top of me, pinning me down. He growled playfully at me.

I pushed him off and growled back, tail wagging. We wrestled around for a while until I grew tired and laid down on the floor. He laid down next to me, nuzzling my neck.

'Wake up people! Let's go get lunch!' Liam yelled jerking me awake.

Huh, I guessed Austin and I have dozed off for some time. I stood up and shook out my fur, making it spike up. I nudged him awake. He blinked open one eye then the other, let out a big yawn, stretched and got up. I sat down and stared at him, as the muscles in his shoulders flexed when he stretched.

'Done checking me out?'

'What? I was looking at the ladybug you're squashing.'

He looked down. Of course, there was no ladybug I made that up. He looked at me and gave me a wolfish smirk.

'Ugh are you guys done yet??' Liam interrupted.

I rolled my eyes and started running back to the others, Liam and Austin running beside me.

'What took you guys so long?' Luke asked.

'You guys better not be doing what I think you were doing,' Chloe said narrowing her eyes at us.

If I'm not in fox form right now, I would be blushing hardcore. 'Chloe!'

'Ok ok calm down, Jesus.'

We ran back to the pack house and shifted behind our trees. I walked out and met the others inside.

"Lets go to Chipotle!" Chloe said, grabbing the car keys and rushing out.

"I call shotgun!" I yelled running out after her.

"NO! IT'S MINE!" Liam yelled, rushing after me.

Liam tackled me to the ground. I hit the ground with a thud and looked up to see Liam get up and run towards the car.

"Oh no you don't."

I ran and grabbed his shirt, pulling him back. He stumbled into Luke who managed to catch him before he fell. I opened the car door jumped inside, and locked the door. Liam banged on the window until Austin dragged him away muttering about breaking his car.

Chloe has just been driving for ten minutes when Liam claimed he was 'bored.'

Suddenly, Stitches by Shawn Mendes came on.

"OH! I LOVE THIS SONG!" Liam yelled and started singing.

I hummed along and before long, all of us were singing, practically screaming our lungs out. We finally arrived at Chipotle. We ordered our food and sat down at a table to eat.

With a full stomach, we climbed back into the car and headed home.
