Note: This is my very first fanfiction and English is not my first language so I hope it's not too bad.
Bonnie is standing in front of the only mirror in her room. Lately she didn't really know what she was seeing, staring at her face looking back at her.
Silas has been in her head this entire time and she couldn't do anything against it. She hated to feel so powerful but so weak all at once. She had no control over her magic and it scared her.
She breathes in deeply. As if that wasn't enough, prom is coming up and of course she does not have a date... Not that having a date is even important right now. Elena is gone off the rails,
she just completed a witchy triangle that could start a supernatural apocalypse and the only one she has ever been in love with... well.. he is dead.
No.. a prom date really didn't matter after all, did it?
Staring back at the mirror she hears a knock on her door.
When she turns around she sees her father entering the room. "Hey baby. I was just wondering if you had picked out a dress for prom yet?"
"Dad"...she sighs. "No, actually... I have not... And to be honest I didn't think you would let me go after what I did to mum". He is not saying anything for a short while, just looking at her.
Finally he says: "Listen, Bonnie. I know you've been through a hard time, it's not your fault. I just...I just worry about you. And I think I haven't been around for too long. But I do want you to enjoy life.. and you shouldn't miss your prom after all."
"Thanks Dad.. I think I'll go.."
"Good... and if you need help with that dress thing..."
"I'll call Caroline" she smiles.
"Alright" her dad says, smiling back.
- Salvatore Mansion-
Stefan is running nervously around the living room, trying to find..whatever he is trying to find in some old diaries of his he brought along.
"Stef hey, can you please calm down a little? You're making me want to take another bath in that vervain filled fish tank" Damon's sitting on the couch, a glass of Bourbon in his hand, looking incredibly annoyed by his little brother.
"You know what, Damon? I wish I had been the one giving you that bath" he snarks back.
Damon grins: "Whoa, I thought we're on good terms after my heartfelt apology speek, grumpy cat"
"You think this is funny, Damon? We might not get her back, she is off the rails putting everyone, including our exposure, at risk"
"Yeah well, those 10 humans who didn't get the clue yet" He takes a sip of his drink.
Stefan just looks at him, then shakes his head; "I can't believe how calm you are right now"
"Well maybe, little brother, it's because I am THE expert of humanity switch. It just went on and off and on and ugh.. Obviously I figured out a plan for us" Damon grins again.
"Your plans always work out so well, don't they? ...Alright. Tell me" Stefan demands.
Damon stands up from the couch, grabbing an old football and throws it at Stefan. "Elena doesn't want the cure... right?"
"Yes, we've been so far, go on."
"Well we can't force it on her or she will not stop killing people soo...come on it's not that hard, Steffy. Think."
"We should..MAKE her want it?"
"And this my brother, is why we are actually a perfect Team. We go to the dance that's coming up, try to seduce her or make her jealous and oops: the humanity switch is suddenly an option"
"You really think that's gonna work? She tried to manipulate us with sex just like Katherine."
"Well maybe it won't. But that's the only thing I got" Damon says catching the ball, falling down on the couch again.
After taking another sip of his drink he says "How's Bonnie by the way? She okay after all that ghostish...vampire...Silas stuff?"
"I called her up yesterday and she said she felt normal, why?"
"Well" Damon sighs, "Because if my plan goes wrong we're gonna need a little help by our favourite witch to keep Elena in check".
- The Grill-
Caroline and Bonnie are sitting at their favourite table in the Mystic Grill, drinking coffee.
"Soo.." Caroline says "Show me your dress! I'm dying to see it."
Bonnie smiles. Caroline has been very obsessed with planning the as she calls it "most epic prom night ever".
Earlier today, Bonnie finally gave in and went shopping. On her own. Cause really she thought she wouldn't handle Caroline running around, bringing her dresses that are really much more Caroline's style than hers. She means well, but sometimes she means too well.
"So I thought", Bonnie answers "That's why I brought it along"
"Well that's the least you could do after not inviting me to go shopping with you"
"I thought you're busy with the organization of the prom, Care" She says apologetically.
It seemed to calm Caroline down and Bonnie opened the box with her dress in it.
Caroline stares at the dark blue gown.
"Nice choice of colour, I think this will go really well with your teint, Bonnie." She smiles.
Bonnie sighs in relief, thank god Caroline liked it. She had been sure that Caroline would have made her return it in any other scenario.
"Thanks" She replies. "Caroline? I know this might be a bad moment, but... did you hear anything of Tyler. I mean.. is he coming back for prom?"
Caroline frowns. "No. I don't think he is coming back soon." she swallows. "So I think I will be without a date actually, but it's not like i can enjoy the night anyway I will be busy with yelling at people not doing their jobs right and keep the band from being drunk and announce the prom queen and king and.. many other things." She looks to the ground.
Bonnie felt bad for reminding her, squeezing her hand she says "Well you and I have to go as girl dates then"
"Bonnie! No. You need to get a date for prom, anything else is unacceptable."
"Who do you want me to ask, Caroline? I blew off Jamie, and.. Jeremy. He's..."
"I'm so sorry, Bonnie. I completely understand."
Caroline stops. "Do you think Elena will go?" She asks, almost a little scared.
Before Bonnie can answer, her phone rings.
She stares at her display like something hit her hard.
"What is it, Bonnie?"
Bonnie stares back at her completely confused.
"It's Damon."
Hey Judgy, come over to the boarding house asap. We have a prom night to plan. D.
