"Alright ladies, time for shots!" Caroline crowed as she pulled two fifths of vodka out of her oversized purse, along with three shot glasses.

"How did you get this?" Bonnie asked, gaping slightly.

"Duh, vampire now, remember? Compulsion, of course!" Caroline responded, giggling.

"Hell yes!" Elena exclaimed, coming out of the bathroom to grab her party dress out of her closet. The three girls were having a girls night out because Matt (with Caroline's urging) had convinced the Grill to hire a DJ for the night.

Elena and Stefan were still in limbo, so he was off on an overnight hunting trip, or some such nonsense. Elena had made it clear that this was a girls night and he was definitely not invited. She needed a night with her best friends, just them, a dance floor, and an excessive amount of alcohol.

The girls finished getting ready at Elena's house, taking shots, laughing, listening to music and generally being high school girls. The fact that Caroline was a vampire, Bonnie a witch, and Elena was a cursed doppleganger, didn't come up, even once.

Around eight the girls headed out, walking, of course, to the Grill. Caroline had poured them each a water bottle half full of vodka to keep in their purses, since they wouldn't be getting served at the bar.

The girls walked into the Grill and all of the male heads within noticing distance turned in their direction. The three best friends looked at each other, grinning wickedly. They grabbed a table, took off their coats and threw them, along with their purses, onto the seats, and headed towards the area cleared for dancing.

The music was great and when "Boom" by Anjulie came on, the three girls started laughing and singing to each other. When Elena glanced up at the bar she noticed Damon there, holding his usual tumbler of scotch or bourbon, or whatever the hell it was he drank. He happened to glance up and meet Elena's eyes. He stared intently for a moment before raking his gaze over her body. He downed what was left in his tumbler and headed over.

And then a Boom Shalaka He's walkin' upa to me, Boom Shalaka, He starts to talka to me, Boom Shalaka my heart skips a—Boom Shalaka-laka… Boom, Boom
