[ Even though it's a Saturday morning, Scott McCall had a full day planned. He had a breakfast with Stiles on the books. Those are top priority, even at this age. He was going to birth a horse shortly after. (Someone has to do it.) He'd planned on taking a few hours at the clinic because some of his favorite owners were on the books. They knew not to expect him every week - or every month, even, but he's in Beacon Hills for an unspecified amount of time. Dropping in on Deaton's practice has to happen. It brings back memories. He sees himself in the younger kid working there. It's hard not to. Innocence and bright eyes. A kid that hasn't seen the world yet.

But, all those plans change when he wakes up not in his old house. He never sold it. It held too many memories. He doesn't live in Beacon Hills full time, but he can't bring himself to sell it. Even though he's told over and over, this is a seller's market. Not that it matters now.

The room he wakes up in is the room of a teenager.

Wolfsbane?

He's not sure. It's a poor kidnapping because the bedroom door is unlocked.

After he finds his network device and sorts himself out, he addresses everyone. The face is older, a lot older than they're used to. But, he's fine with it. It's him. For those relatives and friends not in the apartment this morning they're in for quite a shock. ]

I get it. It's like a conference call on Skype. [ He looks impressed. ] My name is Scott McCall. I have a few questions if anyone out there can oblige me. Two minutes. It's all I need.

Well, you look spry enough to me.

Don't take it personally. Everyone expects you to be a teenager.

Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself.

Now, that is the weirdest thing I've heard all day.

That's good to hear. I start feeling old myself when I'm surrounded by teenagers.

Just reporting the facts, Scott.

You're beautiful. And you don't look old.

I appreciate it, Penny. The facts are all we can report, right?

You're sweet at every age.

[She needs to take a moment to remind herself that this is really, truly Scott McCall and flirting with him would be totally weird.]

I don't know. Sometimes it might be better to keep the facts quiet, you know? You're taking everything really well, but not everyone does.

And you're sweet at this age, but I bet you're also sweet at every age.

[ No, no reason to do that. ]

I get that, too. And, right? I'm pretty proud of myself right now.
