throughaphase | MHA #10- Saturday evening

With the way things had been going for everyone over the last few weeks, Kitty and Allie had decided it might be good to have a small, semi-quiet apartment party with friends where nothing traumatic happened and they could have fun.

Aaand then Kitty got in from California too late yesterday to get much of anything done so a lot of today was spent cleaning, shopping, and finding some game off the Internet, because with the group they'd invited, it might be good to have something to focus on rather than just glaring at people across the room. Which they'd probably do anyway, but at least it wouldn't be their whole night.

By the time people were due to start showing up, everything had been set up, the place looked presentable, and the pizza had gotten here in time for Kitty to box up a couple pieces for Lucky already, because shut up, that's why.

[Up early for timezones! For those who know who they are, but if you want to swing an invite, just grab one of us on AIM at chickwithemo or izzyalienqueen!]

"I...don't think so?" Hey, he could have been behind on his news. "I haven't gotten any angry text messages so I think everything's been quiet."

"You get a lot of angry texts?" She sort of felt like that shouldn't surprise her.

"Two Dereks have my phone number, that's what half my texts consist of." The other half consisted of inappropriate come ons from Derek's uncle.

"I'm so sorry," she said, actually sort of meaning it.

"At least it's better than them glaring in person," Stiles said. "And Derek can't figure out emoticons so that's kind of funny."

Kitty tried not to look too amused. It didn't work. "The smiley face is kind of the easiest thing ever."

"It's the angry face he has trouble with," Stiles explained. "Or, as I like to call it, the Derek face."

"And now that's the only way I'll ever be able to think about it," Kitty realized.

"Good! I'm trying to make it a thing," Stiles said. "Don't tell him how to make it if he asks. He needs to learn how to work technology himself."

"I won't," she promised. "And when you really want to frustrate him, tell him about Emojis."

"God that might break his brain." Though actual Japanese schoolgirl Tyler Hoechlin would love it. "Thanks for inviting me to this, by the way."

"Not a problem. You're sort of part of the group," Kitty said. "I think it'd feel weird if you weren't here."

"Aww, that kind of gives me the warm fuzzies." No, it actually did. "Well I'm happy I've forced my way into all of your hearts."

"Hey, you put up with all of us," she said. ...Okay, he put up with Derek. The rest of them were pretty easy.

"Oh yeah, you're all such a hardship," Stiles said. "This counts as community service."

"That'd be funnier if I didn't know you occasionally end up in the backs of squad cars," Kitty said.

Stiles shook his head. "My dad's the sheriff of Beacon Hills, I've been in the back of more squad cars than I can count."

"Hopefully more in the 'thanks for the ride home from school' way, right?" Kitty checked. "I mean, the majority of the time?"

"Um..." That would be a no.

"Oh, honey."

Because that deserved an 'oh honey.'

"I am a very curious person and sometimes that curiosity leads to me breaking the law. A lot." It was completely normal, okay? "I can't help myself!"

Derek's over-protectiveness might have seemed insane, but it wasn't completely unfounded.

"At least get better at not getting caught," Kitty advised, like a reasonable and mature adult.

"I think my dad would like it if I gained that skill as well," Stiles admitted. "But, hey, I haven't gotten arrested here. Progress, right?"

"Is it progress if I'm not sure anything's illegal in this town?"

It was a good question.

"Well there's a trooper station so something must be illegal here," Stiles said. "I'll figure out what it is eventually and be arrested for it, don't worry."
