"I see," Chase said.

Ayla grinned. "Bye, Dad," she called as she walked towards the door.

"Have a good day!" he yelled.

The Hale sat in the passenger seat of Allison's car as the Argent drove her to school. "So you two are just avoiding each other?" Allison asked.

"We're taking a break from each other," Ayla corrected.

"Meaning you're avoiding each other," Allison reminded.

Ayla sighed. "We broke up, okay? Piper is still one of my best friends. I don't want to lose her completely, but we also need time to figure out where we are now," Ayla explained.

"Don't you need to spend time together to figure out where you are?" Allison asked as she drove.

"Oh, yeah. Says the girl who left the continent the last time she wanted to avoid an ex," Ayla told her.

Allison sighed. "Okay, fine," she agreed.

Ayla frowned. "Speaking of your ex, would you hate me if I started dating him?" she asked.

Allison glanced at her in surprise. "What?" she wondered.

The Hale bit her lip. "I kind of kissed Scott the other day and he kinda kissed me back, and since then I've just felt like a crappy friend for not talking to you first," Ayla explained.

Allison nodded. "Oh," she said.

"You hate me," Ayla guessed.

"No. No, of course not. You're amazing and Scott's amazing and you both deserve someone... amazing," Allison told her.

Ayla managed a smile. "You hate this," she realized.

"It's just a little weird, I guess. Me and Scott neither one have really dated since we broke up," Allison told her.

"Aren't you technically with Isaac?" Ayla asked her.

"What? I'm- I'm not with Isaac," Allison said, stumbling over her words.

"Uh huh," Ayla said with a smirk.

"We aren't," Allison snapped.

"Tell that to your heart that just skipped like you were lying," Ayla told her.

Allison sighed. "I don't know, okay?" she asked.

"But you and Scott are over?" Ayla wondered.

The Argent frowned. "Yeah. That's over," she confirmed as they pulled into the parking lot. She parked and both got out of the car. Ayla started to move towards the school, only to notice Allison zoning out.

"Allison?" she asked. The Argent didn't respond. She just walked away. Ayla glanced around, before following. After a moment, Allison had gone from walking to sprinting. Ayla called after her, but the other girl didn't seem to hear her.

The Argent suddenly burst through the doors and into the school, Ayla trailing behind. Allison came to a stop, finally seeming to snap back to reality. "What the hell just happened?" Ayla asked, making her friend turn to her in confusion.

Lydia walked over to them, taking in their stunned expressions. "Are you two okay?" she wondered. Allison just nodded her head.

The Argent ended up explaining to her two friends that she had started hallucinating her psychotic Aunt Kate. And with that, both Lydia and Ayla had decided it was time to find the boys. There was no way that this wasn't some kind of weird side effect from coming back from the dead. But if Allison was seeing things, they were willing to bet Stiles and Scott were too.
