A/N – So I got this idea from some of the ladies in the Klaroline circle on . *Thanks for the idea guys!* I hope you guys enjoy the story!

Summery – This takes place during the decade dance that will be happening in episode 3x20. Caroline attends the 20's dance even though she had wanted to do a 70's dance. Tyler upsets her and she ends up leaving the dance early. She gets a late night visitor that tries to improve her night.

CHAPTER 1

I sat in my bedroom in front of my mirror. I was putting off putting my make-up on for this dance. Usually I loved school events but I was a little upset that the dance committee decided against my 70's theme dance and instead went with the 20's. I know it shouldn't be something that upsets me but I felt like I was losing my influence with people at school, should have figured with all the supernatural drama going on in my life. I sighed and looked in the mirror. I liked my outfit, it was nice enough, I just couldn't get excited. I was wearing a pink dress with a double ruffle at the bottom. It fell below my knee. I had white elbow length gloves, dark brown heels, a taupe color 20's style hat and a cute Y necklace.

Tyler had called and said he was going to make it home for the dance. I didn't get to ask details since it was another voicemail. I felt that was the only way we talked now a days. I was a little nervous because I thought it was a little too soon, and I wasn't sure he was cured from his sire bond since he didn't say a word about it.

I finished my make-up, grabbed my keys and headed to my car. The parking lot was full when I got there. I didn't feel the need to come help set up since everyone had been so rude about my 70's idea. The gym was nicely decorated, I felt so bitter. I had to at least try to have a good night, I deserved it, all of us did after everything that has happened.

"Hi Caroline." Bonnie said as she walked up to me. She was with Jamie which surprised me a little.

"Hi Bonnie, Hi Jamie." I said as happy and as politely as I could.

"Has Tyler gotten back yet?" She asked.

"I haven't seen him. He said that he was going to meet me here. So…" I said looking around the room. "Oh my god!" I said staring over to where all the chaperones were standing.

"What?" Bonnie quickly started looking around and Jamie followed suit.

"Klaus." I said simply. "He is over there." I said nodding in the direction he was standing. He obviously heard me because he smiled and nodded at us.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Bonnie said through his teeth.

I sighed. "I don't know." I couldn't help but stare at him probably a little longer than necessary. He looked gorgeous. He was in a full black suit and tie and was wearing a black fedora with a grayish band around the hat. "I'll just…I'll just go see what he is doing here." I said still not able to pull my eyes away from him.

"What? Caroline You can't just…"

I cut Bonnie off before she could finish. "Bonnie, he isn't going to do anything with a crowd of people watching."

"No?" Bonnie asked. "Maybe just wait until Stefan and Damon show up." She suggested.

"I'll be fine Bonnie." I said. I tore my eyes from him to look at Bonnie. I took a deep breath in and let it out slowly through my mouth. I walked quickly to the other side of the room where Klaus was standing. I walked right up to him and he smiled. "What are you doing here?"

"Well good evening Caroline. You look lovely tonight."

"I am serious."

"Yes, Love. You are always very serious."

"Well, what are you doing here? I know you did not just come to a high school dance for fun."

"Actually I came because I was hoping to have another dance with you." He said simply.

"Seriously?" I raised my eyebrows and waited for him to say something, he didn't. "Don't you remember when me and my friends tried to kill you?" I asked saying the last part very softly.

He shrugged. "Your friends have their reasons for wanting me dead; I suppose I can't really blame them." He paused. "So…would you care to dance with me?" He asked with his usual smile.

"Ahhhhugggg" I said in frustration before turning around and walking back to Bonnie and Jamie who were now joined by Elena and Damon.

"So, The Original Hybrid came to the high school dance because he has a crush on Barbie." Damon said as I walked over.

"Damon, don't start I warned." He and Elena of course looked great. Part of me wondered if she had finally admitted to him how much she loves him.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Tyler walk through the entrance doors. He of course wasn't dressed up for the dance. He walked in with jeans, a t-shirt, and a dark blue hoodie. I rolled my eyes slightly, he knew how much I loved the theme dances (excluding this one.) he could of at least tried. I put a fake smile on and gave him a hug as soon as he reached us.

"Hey." I said as I pulled back from the hug.

"Hey.' He said. He nodded to the rest of the group.

Bonnie, Jamie, Damon, and Elena kind of went their own way after a few seconds, probably to give me and Tyler some space.

"So, you could have stopped home to change, I am sure you still would have made it in plenty of time."

"Care, you know I don't get into these things." He said slightly whining.

I let out a small breath. "How about we dance?" I suggest trying to bring my mood up again.

"Yea that's fine. I just don't want to dance all night."

We walked onto the semi crowded dance floor. After thirty to forty-five seconds we were interrupted.

"Well hello Tyler, welcome home." Klaus said. "Do you mind if I cut in?"

Tyler stopped dancing and let go of me. "Yes I do mind." He said stepping in front of Klaus.

"Tyler." I said grabbing his arm. "Tyler, it's OK." Tyler turned to look at me. "It's fine; I will be OK…its one dance." I said softly to him.

Tyler walked off to where the refreshment table was and grabbed a drink from the many plastic cups lined up.

Klaus of course smiled and grabbed me immediately to start dancing.

"Do you really have to cause trouble; he just got back to town."

I tried hard not to look into his eyes, I knew if/once I did I would get lost and be able to find my way back. He of course never took his eyes off of me, just like the night of his family's ball. I hated to admit it but there was something about being in his arms that made me feel safe. I knew he was probably just using me for some grand scheme that we will all find out about in a couple weeks but I couldn't help but enjoy the dance. The song ended and he stepped away and let go of me but not before grabbing my hand and kissing the top of it. Such a gentlemen under the rough exterior.

"Thank you for the dance, sweetheart." He turned and walked back to where he was standing.

I stared at him for a few seconds then went to go see Tyler. Elena and Damon were at the table next to him drinking whatever they were serving.

"Care, I am kind of bummed they didn't go for your 70's idea. I think that would have been really cool." Elena said as I walked over.

"Don't get me started. I am so mad that Ashley just took over the dance committee and had all these meetings behind my back."

"Really Caroline? It's a high school dance. Get over it." Tyler said rudely

I was a little taken back by his words. "Tyler…" I said in a low hurt voice.

"Caroline you are a frigin vampire! Why does this crap even matter to you anymore?" I saw Damon quickly look around but thankfully no one was around to hear him scream the fact that I was a vampire. "Look Caroline." He said in a calmer voice. "I didn't want to do this like this but you insisted on coming here tonight." He paused and I gave him a confused look. I noticed Elena and Damon had walked away to give us some privacy for…whatever this was. "I feel like I am with you because you were my only friend while I was going through transformations, you were the only one I could talk to. But… I don't think that means we should be together."

My eyes were watery but I was more angry than anything else. Did he really have to pick the school dance to dump me! "Are you finished?" I asked.

"Care…"

I held up my hand for him to stop talking before quickly walking away.

I heard Elena come up behind me. "Care are you OK? I can dive you home if you want."

"No, Elena. Thanks, but I am fine, really. I just want to go home and relax." I said before heading out of the school and going directly to my car.
