A/N Hi guys! I'm writing this fanfiction as kind of a partner fanfiction to my friends (shine-of-a-star) fanfiction, Just being friendly love. I helped my friend create the character of Charlotte and I come up with most of her actions. The pairings for this will be Elijah and an original character named Charlotte. I may mention my friends character Jessica Fell who is Charlotte's best friend.

Description

Mystic Falls. Charlotte has lived there her whole life. An ordinary town full of ordinary people. If you think thats the case, stop reading this and pick up one of those romantic books and read that instead. Like Dear John for instance. That's a nice romantic story.

What happens when Charlotte gets to know Elijah, an Original? Will they stay together through all? Or will they break apart?

Beginning

The blonde girl walked into the Mystic Grill, planning to order a morning coffee. She was meeting her friend. Well, kind of. Elijah. An Original. She'd known him since her best friend, Jess, had begun to hang around with Kol. Now how does one describe Kol Mikaelson? Oh right, an arrogant, annoying, jerk. That would be how Charlotte would sum him up. Now Elijah on the other hand, was kind, merciful and a true gentleman. He was also quite the fit one. That would be Charlotte's description of him.

The blonde smiled as she looked over at the door, noticing Elijah's entrance. He grinned as he noticed her and made his way over to her.

"Elijah!" Charlotte squeled as she ran over and hugged him. "Your alive!" At those words he looked at her strangely, not entirely sure why she would assume otherwise. She begun to repeatedly tap his chest. Elijah wasn't sure how he felt about this close contact with her.

"Yes Charlotte. I think you've made sure i'm alive enough times now." He told her, almost laughing at how she was not bothered at all by his words.

"Let me keep checking!" She said. "I don't want you dead. Who would save me from Kol?"

Elijah laughed as she stopped patting his chest and they both pulled away from the hug. They picked up their drinks and walked over towards a booth. Of course, Charlotte naturally fell onto the booth's seat, so decided she should try to make this look natural by sprawling across the seat in a provocative pose. As she did this, Elijah couldn't help but laugh, causing Charlotte to burst into a fit of giggles and attempt to hide her blushing face by covering it with her hands.

Elijah smiled at his friends blush. Unlike Kol, he enjoyed Charlotte's company. Her ditzyness and random behaviour made her quite enjoyable company. She was always smiling. Well actually, if Kol was around, she rarely smiled.

"So, how are you Charlotte?" He asked her, wondering what had been happening recently.

"I am thouroughly deppressed. Your brother ate my pineapple!" She told him, a look of genuine anger filling her eyes. Another random thing about Charlotte. She loved pineapple. Even thinking about eating her pineapple, was a hainous crime, let alone actually doing so.

"Shall I make him buy you some more?" Elijah asked her, being quite serious. He knew she would not get over this. It would take weeks to get her over this.

"It's too late! He has destroyed my life." She proclaimed, somewhat overdramatically. Elijah tried to remain serious.

"That's terrible of him. I will just have to apolgise on his behalf and try to make it up to you." He told her as she sipped at her coffee.

"I will just have to drink my coffee and drown my sorrows. But not with alcohol. Jess said I can't handle my drink. Which I must point out is completely incorrect." She said, her annoyance causing her to talk very fast. Elijah laughed and stood up. As they'd both finished their drinks, he thought he would take her shopping to buy more pineapple and plenty of cookies, pasta and J20 to keep her smiling. He'd never noticed how much he liked seeing her smile.
