The moment the car door slams, I hear barking coming from somewhere nearby.

I look around frantically until I see a large grey dog bounding towards me.

" You have a dog ?" I ask.

Greg looks at me with confused eyes," Yes, but -"

" Oh my god he's adorable!" I squeal as I run towards the dog only to have it jump up and tackle me to the ground before licking my face.

" What . . . what just happened ?" Evan asks.

I giggle as the dogs licks tickle my cheek," What do you mean ?"

Greg storms over and grabs the dog by the scruff before throwing him off of me.

" What the hell was that for ? You could have hurt him!" I yell.

" That wasn't a dog, Lucy, that was my pervert nephew." He turns to face the wolf," And you, Isaac, if you don't shift back this instant I'll tell your father that you shifted, you know what could happen if your wolf takes control in that form. It's harder to repress him like this, so shift back." Greg said.

The wolf stared at him in silence with a rebellious smirk.

" I said shift back, now." Greg growled.

The wolf rolled its eyes and shifted into what looked like a thirteen year old boy," What ever you say, dear uncle."

I shriek and turn around," Gah he's naked!"

" You did that on purpose!" Greg yells.

" That was an underhanded move. I commend your efforts my friend." Evan whispers as he goes to high five the kid.

" I only did what he told me to." The boy says as he avoids Evan.

" It was implied that you were to go inside before shifting. No respectable gentleman shifts in front of a lady." Greg growls.

" Oh, who ever said I was a gen - "

I interrupt the boy," Both of you shut up! Naked child go inside, and Greg stop being a control freak!" I yell.

The kid suddenly goes quiet as I hear retreating footsteps accompanied by snickering.

" What about me ? You're making me feel really neglected over here." Evan whines.

" Go sit on a cactus." I mutter.

Evan throws his arms up," You ask too much, my lady, where am I supposed to find one of those in Pennsylvania?"

" Be creative." I say.

" Oh, okay." Evan says.

" Get the fuck off me, Evan !" Greg hisses.

" I'm sitting on a prick, does that count ?" Evan yells.

" No, nice try though." I snicker.

" Fine, my god are you hard to please." I hear him mutter as his foot steps begin to retreat farther away from me.

I suddenly feel someone's hand grab my shoulder and I turn around to see Greg's apologetic face," Look, Lucy, I'm sorry -"

" Don't even say a word, one of your insane family members just ruined dogs for me. Just let that sink in." I turn to face him as I stand up," This detour was your fault, I expect you to make it up to me." I grumble as I leave no room for argument," Now let's get this over with."
