33 Apocalypse Ave., Saturday Morning

Jack had skipped out on prom the night before. Watching children fumble toward each other in formalwear simply didn't sound very appealing, and anyhow there was a certain club in Baltimore that seemed much more deserving of his still-somewhat-one-note attention. (There were .... dancers. Very talented dancers. Though none, he had to admit, quite as

There was a tiny person at the door - actually, there had been one for a little while now. Since no one had answered the door the first time around, Hannah had taken a seat by said door and wasted some time messing around with her datapad.

Now, though, she could hear some noise inside. She got back up and rapped on the door again.

Oh god, why was somebody visiting this early? Jack cursed, then pushed his chair away from the table and lumbered toward the living room. He opened the door a crack at first, then wider when he saw it was just a little girl.

It was, apparently, One of Those Weekends, since the few children on the island never turned up on doorsteps any other time. He didn't know which precise type of One of Those Weekends it was, but he figured the girl would let him know soon enough.

"... hello," he said. "Are you looking for someone?"

Hannah gave him a little wave, accompanied by a wry smile that brought some deadpan to her answering, "Hi, dad."

Better not to dance around that and waste time.

[bitten_notshy]

Dad. Right. That kind of One of Those Weekends.

The girl couldn't be one of the triplets: Her hair was far darker and curlier. And she didn't have Felix's accent, either.

Which meant Jack had absolutely no idea who she was.

"Hi," he repeated, slightly wryly. "I don't suppose you remember your name, do you?"

And hopefully Jack wouldn't be too upset to find another kid at his door. This one was older, at least.

And more of there werewolf variety.

And also knocking loudly.

[bitten_notshy]

By this time, Jack almost expected the knocking would be another kid. What he did not expect was the scent of wolf wafting toward him as he opened the door.

"Hi," he said, tilting his head and inhaling again as if that would tell him who exactly the preteen was. "I'm going to guess you're here to see me."

"Got that right," Connor replied. "The other place had other wolves there already."

He said that while making a face.

[bitten_notshy]

Jack made the face right back. "You're Derek's?"

Had they been playing very special werewolf monopoly in some alternate future?
