Because we don't see Klaus in his wolf form, it pretty much a free for all playground.
So the idea I had was Klaus going out to shift on the night of the full moon, which already makes Elijah frown, but sometimes it's best to let Klaus do what he wants to do.
The issue starts when he doesn't return the next morning and by noon Elijah thinks this is getting ridiculous/something happened, so he goes out to search for Klaus, since he is the only one who's actually seen Klaus in his wolf form before.
After a few hours or so, Elijah finally finds his brother, still in his wolf, which makes him suspicious. Klaus is a hybrid, so he can change by will, so why didn’t he turn back yet? After some attempts of reasoning, pleading, and commands, Elijah concludes that it's not that Klaus doesn't want to change. It's that he can't.
Elijah, of course can't leave his brother out in the woods, so he does one of the following:
A) Coax him into the car
B) Picks him up like a puppy
C) Knocks him out and takes him back to their house, where Rebekah is both shocked and instantly worried. They have a quick uodate discussion which ends with Elijah asking/ordering Rebekah to keep an eye on Klaus while he tries to figure out which witch cursed their brother (again).
Rebekah: Why am I always the babysitter?
Elijah: Rebekah, please, just make sure he doesn't run away. *whoosh*
Rebekah, as she glances at Klaus: Or a petsitter in this case.
Klaus growls at her for that.
Rebekah: Oh don't give me that, you furball, or I'll give you a bath. A flea bath.
Klaus snips at her, which only makes Rebekah laugh, because if Klaus still can be a vindictive ass, he will be fine.
Meanwhile, Elijah contacts Hayley to ask her about this strange occurrence, but since most wolves don't have a choice in shifting schedule, she doesn't know either, but she promises to ask around, maybe Jackson knows something she doesn't. So Elijah heads to the witches, because clearly they are the culprit, and yet, after numerous threats, and choking scenes later, they still deny any involvement, so Elijah has to conclude they aren't the culprit. He is forced to regroup, finding Hayley and Jackson already there. (Insert Freya if she is there, telling them she couldn't find any traces of magic on Klaus, so it is definitely Klaus' doing.) Which baffles everyone, more so Elijah, because clearly, Klaus would prefer to be a vampire, unless....
Unless it's psychological. Marcel comes strolling in. He wanted to investigate the news about a lone wolf appearing and there he is.
The group concludes that Marcel is probably right, groaning inwardly, except for Rebekah, who voices her (and everyone else's) opinion on the complexity of Klaus' issues, and finding the reason why he doesn't want to change might take them ages. With no other choice left, they turn to Cami.
Cami takes one look at Klaus and turns to Elijah with a mortified, confused look: Do you want me to have a session with a wolf?
Elijah: No, I would appreciate if you could help us figure out what's stopping Niklaus from turning back.
Cami, slightly fed up with the ordeal already, concludes that something must have happened recently that made Klaus want to change, have a new perspective on things, etc. Everyone wrecks their brain, throwing accusing glances and words at each other, especially Marcel, who denies any involvement.
It's not until the doorbell rings that finally it clicks for Rebekah that Elijah and she wanted to throw a surprise party for Klaus for one reason or another and that maybe that could be the reason. Putting two and two together, they conclude that Klaus must have overheard their conversation, or at least parts of it, (which he did). Reassuring Klaus that no, they don't want to leave him or conspire against him, they just wanted to celebrate him brings Klaus out of his sulking.
(His sulking started by him hearing Elijah telling Rebekah that she can't tell any of what they have discussed to Klaus. Hurt by feeling left out, especially from Elijah's secrets, his brother’s lack of trust was the reason he wanted to be left alone for a while. Which failed because he wasn’t left alone at the end, though he enjoyed the fussing, eventually it comes to an end.) So there he is, shifting back, butt naked.
Their reactions: Elijah has seen it all before, but he might have failed to provide clothes this time. He is upset enough to not bother grabbing something for Klaus. They are at home anyway. Klaus can take care of himself.
Rebekah is exhausted, and doesn't care one way or another, more annoyed than anything.
Hayley probably looks away, not something she didn't see before, but now she is not interested, thank you.
Jackson is definitely measuring sizes, undoubtedly.
Cami is trying for modesty, but she is definitely checking him out, which Klaus doesn't mind a bit.
Marcel is just happy it wasn’t anything serious this time.
They send Klaus away to get dressed while they set everything up for the party. A few hours later, they have a blast despite the rough start.
