"Anya can you help me?" Sam shouted from the livestream room just as Anya arrived in the office after a night listening to the howls of the pack. Sadly the night was cut short when Lewis' demanding and powerful howl stopped the midnight singing. Anya thought of the way Hannah had jumped up and answered back his howl. The anger was evident, she was annoyed that Lewis had stopped the lesson but she knew there was no way the rest of the pack would continue after the Alpha had commanded that it stop.

"Coming" Anya shouted back to Sam, firstly throwing her coat and scarf into the creators room, then running into the livestream room to find Sam under the studio gear and computer desk, battling with various cables.

"Need a hand?" Anya said with a hint of sarcasm, watching as Sam struggled.
"Ha ha funny, everything's going wrong with the livestream equipment, the first stream is tonight and no way is it prepared" Sam answered panic clear in his voice.
"Calm down Sam, what do you need me to do? We will sort it out, we have eight hours until the stream is scheduled" Anya said trying to put some into the situation.
Sam looked up from his position under the desk and took a deep breath, "Okay what I need you to do is...."

"It should be soon, right?" Ross asked over his blue room partition, the three Hat Films lads relaxing after a long recording session.
"What you on about mate?" Trott questioned looking across the room at Ross.
"Anya! I'm talking about Anya! Do you think she'll shift soon, it's been two weeks, and the full moon is in a couple days, I bet that will effect her change is some way" Ross cleared up.

"Okay chill, I was just asking, sometimes you just make no sense" Trott grumped taking off his headset.
"Shut up Trott" Ross snapped before leaning over his partition and shouting over it to Smith, "Smith mate what do you think?"
Smith was off in his own little world so Ross' question caught him by surprise, "What? Huh?" He stumbled pretending he was listening to music.

"Forget it, it's like talking to my Nan" Ross groaned dropping the question but Trott had other ideas, "Smith, Why was your scent near Kim and Anya's flat the other night?"
Well this got Smith's attention making him look over his room partition and glare at the shortest sir, "Um, well, I walked her home" Smith replied which wasn't a lie but it came out one, his answer delayed and shaky.

Trott looked at Ross and grinned, "I think someone's got a crush". The two sirs laughed as Smith tried to hide the blush in his cheeks, "I do not!" He snapped which just made Ross and Trott laugh even more at their friends refusal.

"Oh piss off" Smith cursed putting his headphones on and turning up some actually music to drown out the laughing.

"It's working Sam!" Anya said with glee wiping the sweat from her brow.
"It's Alive!" Sam replied raising his arms above his head, "And just in time" he said pointing at the clock which clicked to 5pm.
Anya nodded clicking a few buttons to pull up the Twitch stream, which now showed a 'The Yogscast Will be with you Soon' screen instead of the 'Offline' screen.
She watched as the chat went crazy, it was a brilliant sight.

Simon appeared at the door, wearing a ridiculous looking cat t-shirt, "Looking good guys, let's get the show on the road!" He said with a huge grin, giving Anya a friendly nod, a gesture normally given from one pack member to another, after all Simon had hopes of Anya joining the pack once she completed her first shift and found her howl.
Anya didn't know how to reply to this gesture so just smiled but the smile faded as Lewis walked entered the room. However to Anya's surprised his normal alpha male attitude was held back, a grin on his face, a grin!

"Good job Sam, looks like it's time to start", Lewis said with a smile.
Sam shrugged his shoulders, "It wasn't just me, Anya helped out alot too".
Lewis turned to Anya and his natural friendly grin was now being forced, as he looked at the mutt, "Thank you Anya"
He said Thank you! Anya couldn't believe it, yea it was forced but it was a smile and a thank you!
Anya felt a smile cross her face but then it loosened as she realised that Lewis was doing it due to Sam being in the room, God damn it!

"Well let's get underway, only 15 minutes late" Simon cut in before Lewis lost his forced calm, then dragged Lewis to the livestream room as Anya sighed and sat down.
Sam turned to her and noticed her lack of enthusiasm, "Come on Anya! You can help me with the stream, we can have a laugh" he said trying to boost her up.
"Sure" Anya shrugged getting up and moving to get the first Christmas livestream off and running.

Bit of a filler chapter so that the fic doesn't to rapidly and it adds more character info.
Merry Christmas!!!
