A/N: I do not own The Vampire Diaries, The Originals or any of their characters. If I did, Caroline would be in New Orleans with Klaus! Always & Forever.

Caroline couldn't believe she had finally convinced her dad to let her take her friends to their beach house in Myrtle Beach for spring break this year! She hadn't been there since she was 15 years old. She and her friends were sick of PCB and wanted to something new and exciting for their last spring break hoorah!

"Here you go CareBear" Bill Forbes said as he handed his daughter the keys. "Stay safe, always travel with a buddy and don't drink too much."

"I'm always safe Daddy! I will never leave the house alone and I can't guarentee anything about the drinking" Caroline said to her dad and winked. They both laughed at that.

Bill Forbes wasn't born yesterday. He had partied pretty hard in his day. These girls would be just fine.

"Girls! Let's go!" Caroline called into the dark house that hse shared with her 3 best friends. "We are already running behind schedule! At this rate we won't get there until noon!"

"Care!" Katherine groaned. "I'ts only 5:30... I'm sure you'll still get us there before noon."

"Where's Bonnie and Elena?"

"They're grabbing their purses. I call shot gun though!"

"Bye Daddy!" Caoline yelled as she climbed into the silver topless Jeep Wrangler her dad had gotten her as a high school graduation gift.

"Bye girls! Have fun!" Bill called as he watched his baby girl and her friends pull out of the driveway and head off into the sunrise.

"Ok, so we have a five and a half hour drive ahead of us. Tha's not including pits stops. I'm hoping to still get there before noon" Caroline rambled.

"Care, relax. We'll get there when we get there. Besides, Bonnie and Elena didn't hear a word you just said because they are already fast asleep again" Katherine cut her off.

"Fine. Then it's just you and me Kat. Pull out my phone and find my road trip playlist. Let's jam!"

The 1st song to play from the shuffled list was one of Caroline's favorites.

'Woah, oh, ready set go! Gotta get outta this small town! Woah, oh, the open road, air to breathe the sun is shinin' down. You and me and the land of the free so baby let's run, while we're young in america!'

It truly fit their lives. They desperately needed to get out of the small town they called home. Whitmore.

The 5 1/2 hours went by fairly quickly. They only stopped for gas twice and now were only about five minutes away from the beach house.

"Ladies! Welcome to Myrtle Beach!" Caroline squealed as she passed the welcome sign.

All Caroline could think about was that it sure was good to be back. It had always felt like a second home to her and it sure was good to be home. She had been thinking about the childhood friend she had made so many years ago and hoped that her family still had their beach house in the area and that hopefully she would be in town for her spring break as well.

"We're here!" Elena exclaimed.

All four girls hopped out of the Jeep and ran up the front steps to the door.

"Come on Care! Open the door!" Bonnie giggled as Caroline continued to fumble with the keys.

"Here we go" Caroline said as she turned the key and opened the door.

They spend the next hour unpacking and exploring the house. Caroline spent the 2nd half an hour in the patio room. This is where she had spent most of her time here growing up. This is where her and her childhood friend Rebekah would play secret spies while Bill was working on the interior of the beach house. Caroline never realized how much she missed Rebekah until she had finally made it back here to Myrtle Beach. It brought back a lot of really good memories.

"You ok Care?" Katherine asked as she sat in the chair across from Caroline.

"Yeah. Just thinking about the last time I was here" she replied. "Let's go get the other girls and find something to do tonight."

The girls reconviened in the kitchen and decided on taking a walk down to the boardwalk for their night time activity.

They were strolling down the boardwalk when someone had called out to Caroline.

"Caroline?! Caroline Forbes?!"

"Rebekah?!" Caroline called back as she ran to hug her childhood friend.

"It's so good to see you" Rebekah said as she hugged Caoline. "I've missed you so much!"

"I've missed you too Bekah!" she replied as she finally opened her eyes. She saw her 3 other friends staring on in confusion as well as a slim, blonde and curly haired guy with a "know-it-all" smirk plastered on his face. 'God he looks familiar' Caroline thought.

"Let me introduce you to my friends! Bekah, this is Katherine, Bonnie and Elena. Guys, this is Rebekah. We used to spend our summers together here as kids!"

"It's so nice to meet you all!" Rebekah smiled.

"Nice to meet you too" Katherine, Elena and Bonnie replied in unison.

"Our group was just heading for the ferris wheel. You guys should join us!" Rebekah suggested. "Then I won't have to ride the thing with my bloody brother."

"Sure" the girls responded.

They all linked arms and headed to the ferris wheel. Caroline looked back over her shoulder for her blonde familiar stranger but he was nowhere to be seen.

They stood in line for the ferris wheel for what felt like forever. Then the line started moving. That's when Caroline saw him again a couple rows back talking to the guy that she had seen hitting on Rebekah 20 minutes ago.

Everyone began to load the ride and Caroline was lined up to ride with Katherine. Caroline climbed onto her bench but when she turned to her side to say something to Katherine about her handsome stranger she was met with the "stranger" himself.

"Hello love" he said with an all-knowing smirk.

Caroline's eyes looked like they were ready to pop out of her head. "Well hello to you too" Caroline replied with a smile.

"You're even more beautiful than I remember Caroline"

"How do you know my name?"

"Ouch. Has it really been that long?"

"I know you look familiar" Caroline started.

"Nik, quit harassing Caroline!" Rebekah called from a few benches up.

Caroline's eyes went wide again. "Klaus?"

"How've you been love" he asked. Caroline would swear he had a smirked painted on his face.

"I've been good. Hoping to finish college with my perfect GPA of course!"

"Where did you end up going to school?"

"Well Whitmore of course!" Caroline giggled.

She and Rebekah had always dreamt of attending Whitmore together and sharing a dorm. They used to be inseperable. Well, until Caroline's dad left her mom and her mom refused to let her go with her dad to the lake house and her dad couldn't bear to go there with all the memories they shared as a family.

"I remember when you and Rebekah would beg my mom to take you on road trips to visit that school and buy you all the Whitmore clothing you both could fit in your closets. You both would ramble about all the shenanigans you planned to get into together on campus and within your dorm room."

"Yeah Rebekah and I always were pretty inseperable weren't we?" Caroline said reminising about the good old days.

"You sure were. It borke her heart to go and find your family beach house empty that fateful summer" Klaus replied.

"I will never forgive my dad for never letting me come back until now. I still can't believe it's been seven years since I've been here."

"Even though Rebekah hasn't seen you in years she never stopped thinking of you... neither have I" Klaus admitted quietly.

Caroline scooted closer to Klaus in the bench seat as they were reaching the top of the wheel while the attendant was still loading all the new riders. "I never stopped thinking about you either Nik" Caroline smiled as she used the nickname that only Rebekah was allowed to call him. She was surprised when he didn't repremand her for it. He just smiled back and pulled her in even closer to him.

"Good to hear" he murmured as he kissed her hair taking in the scent of vanilla and peonie flower.

Caroline had always held Klaus's attention back when they were kids. Rebekah had told him not to get any ideas back then though. Caroline was Rebekah's first real friend and he didn't want to intere on her newfound friendship with the neighbor girl from down the beach. But he couldn't help but admire from afar. Even at 15 years old she was beautiful and she'd only gotten more beautiful as she got older.

"Thanks for hopping on this ride with me" Caroline said breaking their comfortable silence.

"There's nowhere else I'd rather be" Klaus replied.

Just when he was about to kiss her the ride picked up and they were flying up the back of the wheel and Caroline began to giggle. When they were on their decent back down the front Caroline gripped Klaus's hand as the ride made her giggle with excited and the sensation of a tickling in her lower stomach took over. Holding Klaus's hand had felt so right and it was a natural instinct to grab onto whateve was closest to try and sturdy yourself. She was glad it was his hand. He didn't pull it away either so that instilled some confidence in Caroline.

When the ride was over and the attendant was unloading the passengers Caroline and Klaus got stuck at the top of the wheel again. This time Klaus didn't hesitate when Caroline turned her head. He caressed her cheek as he pulled her in for a kiss. It was short and sweet but passionate all at the same time. When he pulled away he let his forehead rest against Caroline's.

"I'm glad you let me keep this seat" Klaus chuckled as he pulled away to look Caroline in the eyes.

"Me too" Caroline said.

As everyone got off the ferris wheel, they made their way to congregate by the ticket booth.

Klaus guided Caroline over with a hand on the small of her back. Even though it was such a small gesture, it sent shivers up Carolin's spine and caused her skin to reveal goosebumps.

That said gesture didn't get past Katherine but she kept her mouth shut and decided to save her interogation for later.

"So what's next guys?" Caroline asked smiling at all her friends.

Rebekah piped up then and invited them all back to their beach house for a bonfie.

"Meet us at the house around 9? Caroline you know wher it's at" Rebekah called as she headed back down the boardwalk.

"I'll see you later?" Caroline asked with a grin.

"Of course love" Klaus anwered as he pulled her close and kissed her forhead as she hugged him. "I'll see you soon."

Caroline let go of his embrace and turned to her friends with a smile so bight and bright thinking that if this spring break was going to be anything like what tonight has been like so far; it's going to be the best spring break ever.

A/N: I feel like I should explain some things that I skipped originally because it just didn't flow with the way I want this story line to go. This story is inspired by the song Rollercoaster by Luke Bryan. If you haven't heard it yet you should definitely go and check it out! It's the song that has inspired me to write again! Anyways, I wanted to explain why I have Klaus and Caroline moving so quickly. Some of you may think it is unnatural for him to have kissed her already (and very OOC) This is a All Human and semi- AU story so bear with me. Remember that Klaus and Caroline knew eachother 7 years ago but never persued each other because Klaus didn't want to take away from Rebekah's newfound friendship in Caroline. This is my first fic that I've actually liked what I've written and would love to hear from all of you lovely readers. So please, drop me a review! I'd love to hear from you! Good or Bad! :)
