Coming Back Home
So, you guys have seen tonight's episode. Well, this is a different kind version of what happened tonight but in my way. Alright, so uh enjoy this one-shot or not. Depends on the review or whatever it is and sorry for delaying my other stories. Writer's block. Oh and I do not own The Vampire Diaries. If I did, Bamon would have happened like years ago.
Back on 1994, retro world as Bonnie would say. She crank up the volume of the speaker, as her toast has been toasted. She took both of them out and put them on the plate while she took her pan of scrambled eggs and poured them next to her toast. She then opened the lid of a liter of orange juice and looked inside the lid that says: You're A Winner, but threw it to where the other lids are at. She poured the orange juice in her glass and picked up the plate with the glass of orange juice and walked to the table and sat down. She took a black sharpie and cross out February 4th and circled the 5th. She looked up and said to herself.
"Happy Birthday, Bonnie. Bonnie sighed to herself and then threw the calendar into the fire. She picked up her fork and eats. Back in the present world, Damon was in the kitchen putting the cupcakes into the cupcakes shelves.
"Happy Birthday, Bon-Bon." Damon smiles at he looked at the cupcakes while Elena came walking in with a brown paper bag with birthday supplies.
"Ooh. You think we could sneak one before the party?" Elena asked as she looked at them.
"I think Caroline might fry us in the sun." Damon told Elena as he took one.
"It's worth the risk," Elena smiles at him while taking off her jacket. He took of the wrapper around the cupcake and handed it to her mouth as she took a bite.
"Mmm," Elena and Damon smiles. Damon then sees a little frosting on the side of her lips and used his thumb to wipe it off. They both leaned in and was about to kiss when Kai came in. (Wish this would have happened in the show but oh well).
"Hello?" Kai asked as he walked in.
"No. That's impossible because why would he…" Elena started to say.
"He didn't. He's all merged, he's packed, and he's on his way to Portland!" Damon shouted to make sure Kai hears it.
"Ooh! Forgot how massive this house was. Yum! Cupcakes!" Kai gasped as he sees the cupcakes.
"Sorry. Am I about to interrupt something?" Kai asked them.
"What are you doing here?" Damon asked in annoyance.
"Funniest thing. I need your help." Kai tells them as he shows them an envelope.
"Why would we give a letter to Jo?" Elena asked Kai as he was sitting on top of the table licking his finger that has chocolate frosting on it.
"I haven't been able to find her using a locator spell and, you know, good on her because under normal circumstances, I'd superjazzed to gouge out her belly button," Kai answers.
"Why would we help you, Kai?" Elena asked him.
"Well, in case you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a sociopath. I know. Shocker." Kai chuckled as Elena made a face saying no duh.
"I like being a sociopath. You know, I'm not burdened by things like guilt or love. So this merge happened with my brother Luke, and I won, which was great because I absorbed his ability to do magic but now I can't stop thinking about how Luke died. How Liv's life is ruined. For some horrible reason, I can't shake, how badly I feel about it." Kai chuckled as Damon sighed and cross both of his arms and leaned back to the counter.
"You feel bad?" Elena asked Kai.
"Yeah. So when I absorbed Luke's magic. I must have gotten some of his qualities or something like empathy. So I googled how to process the emotional pain, and they said if you write everything down in a letter and burn it, you'll be healed. So I started writing, and this water literally started pooling in my eyes. Has that ever happened to you. Like.. like water just… just oozing out of my eyeballs like I'm some alien creature excreting fluids," Kai explained to them.
"You mean you cried," Elena told him.
"Yes!" Kai exclaimed.
"And after that was done, I burned the letter, and the feelings… oop.. were still there," Kai smiles as he looked down.
"So I really feel strongly that Jo needs to know how sorry I am for destroying our family, but let's face it, guys. All right? I mean, Elena, you all of people should be willing to look past the questionable things that I've done to see that there's… There's good somewhere in me. You did it with Damon," Kai pointed out.
"Ok. I think we're done here. Come on." Damon says as he was about to grab Elena's left arm to leave but she stopped him.
"Actually, what if there's something he can do for us in exchange?" Elena asked. Back with Bonnie as she finished her breakfast, she walked into the living room and went to the DVD player or cassette and put on The Bodyguard. As it was starting, she sat down on the couch thinking back to when Damon and her watched the movie a millionth time. Back with Elena, Damon, and Kai.
"Okay. So we know that Jo stored her magic in a hunting knife. Bonnie sent hers over with Miss Cuddles. What receptacle of magic I am not thinking of?" Elena asked them.
"Let me give you a hint… Scorned lover." Damon answers Elena as he motion his hands.
"Katherine?" Elena asked him.
"Older," Damon stated.
"Silas?" Elena asked.
"Hotter." Damon said.
"I don't know. Silas was definitely hot." Elena pointed out. (Isn't Silas and Stefan like have the same face and features?)
"Ugh." Damon yucked.
"Qetsiyah. Her blood is on Silas' headstone." Elena suggested.
"Or, we could just give Bonnie back Miss Cuddles and she can take her magic back," Kai suggested.
"That we could do," Damon nodded.
"But what reminded you?" Elena asked him.
"I was gonna plan a trip there, change of scenery, you know." Damon shrugs.
"Oh, thank god. You two together is still totally revolting to me. Finally, a familiar feeling. Luke didn't take me over completely," Kai sighed and smiled as Jeremy walked in.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Jeremy asked them.
"Hi," Kai smiles at Jeremy as he looked up.
"Kai has change Jeremy," Elena tells him as Damon took a glass shot and pour bourbon while Elena went to stand next to Kai while Damon leaned behind Jeremy.
"People don't just change like that," Jeremy says.
"People usually don't merge with their siblings either," Damon added as he took a sip of his drink.
"Uh, for the record, I would have been fine with any of Luke's qualities, you know, the hair, the whole gay thing. You know, maybe not the height actually." Kai added as he went back to work on the broken ascendant.
"You seriously buy this?" Jeremy asked Elena.
"Look. I'm not saying that we have to like him, but if there's a way for us to tell Bonnie how she can get out.." Elena states.
"We should trust a guy that changed personalities overnight?" Jeremy asked her as Kai looked up.
"Think of it like Elena in reverse," Kai added as he turned around to the liquors behind him as he pours some in the glass.
"You know, she was human, pure, dating the good Salvatore. Then she became an undead blood vacuum, stopped caring about right and wrong, and started dating the bad one." Kai stated about her life.
"That's not how it happened." Elena corrected him.
"Hmm. I'm sure I missed a detail or two, but I'm just paraphrasing what Damon told me in the Prison world," Kai tells her as he took a sip as Elena shut up.
"Speaking of, there's a witch over there we'd like to save, so why don't you get your Gemini jumper cable and fix that thing?" Damon asked Kai as he just stood there smiling.
"Okay," Kai nodded. A few hours later, Kai finished fixing the ascendant as Damon was holding Miss Cuddles.
"So, I can't send us back physically but we could put Miss Cuddles somewhere where Bonnie can see her or find her," Kai told them.
"Will she be able to see us or not Kai?" Elena asked him.
"I don't know. I've never done this before." Kai smiles excitedly. Jeremy looks at him with annoyance.
"So let's all just take a deep breath, right, close our eyes, and… phesmatos tribum invocio caveum miscero mundio," Kai chant as he close his eyes and repeated it again as they all went back 1994. In the middle of the movie, Bonnie remembers something. She turned off the TV and took the video camera and went to the table.
"What happened to the pool table?" Damon asked as they all looked around.
"Oh my god," Elena sighed. They all turned and sees Bonnie walked and sat down on the chair. Jeremy sees her and ran up to her.
"Bonnie? Bonnie!" Jeremy exclaimed as Damon took Miss Cuddles into his room and came back down.
"She can't hear me." Jeremy added as Bonnie turned the video camera on. Damon was about to grab the drinks from the tray but his hands went through.
"And we can't touch anything either. But I think since Miss Cuddles has magic inside, I think Bonnie will definitely see it," Damon says. "Nice spell Kai."
"This place place is my own personal hell." Damon on Videotape says.
"Drama queen." Bonnie says to the camera.
"Hey," Damon argues as Bonnie fast forwards the tape.
"Reporting to you live from Retro World, I'm Bonnie Bennett. Joining us today in the studio is special guest Damon Salvatore!" Bonnie on VideoTape says as she gave her hand microphone to Damon. Jeremy and Elena's face fell from smile to salty.
"I miss you Damon," Bonnie whispered. "There's no one to talk to at all." She turned it off and reached for a bottle while Damon looks at her.
"No," Damon whispered.
"What?" Elena asked him.
"The bottle of bourbon is the oldest one in the house." Damon tells them as Elena looks at him and then at Bonnie as Bonnie already poured some into the cup.
"We made a pact if we couldn't take being trapped here alone for one more day we'd… we'd kill that entire bottle," Damon tells them with a worried face as Bonnie took a sip. "Then we'd kill ourselves." as Elena and Jeremy looked at Bonnie was a concerned expression. Then something happened, they were sent back to the real world, as all of the were laying down as they all took a huge gasp of air.
"Wait. Wait. What happened? Why are we back here?" Elena asked them as Kai has blood coming out of his left nose.
"I don't know. Spell must require too much magic," Kai thinks. "I lost my connection,"
"Then reconnect," Damon suggested.
"It's not that easy. You see this blood? I'm guessing that's not a good sign," Kai says as he sways his finger to his nose.
"Bonnie is going to kill herself." Elena argues.
"Can she do that? Can she die in the prison world?" Jeremy asked him.
"I couldn't. Of course, it was my own personal solitary confinement. Didn't want me to end my sentence early by killing myself. Ooh! I tried every method in the book. Heh. I drove down to D.C. because there was this museum that has an actual guillotine." Kai tells them the story.
"We get it. For whoever's not lucky enough to be you, dead means dead." Jeremy interrupted him.
"We have to stop her. We have to give her hope. We have to send her a message somehow." Elena suggested.
"How? She couldn't hear us." Jeremy argues.
"Maybe she can only hear one of us," Kai added as they all looked at him.
"How?" Elena asked him.
"Maybe taking the three of you with me took too much, but if I take only one of you then there wouldn't be a problem," Kai answers her.
"I'll go," Jeremy suggested.
"But if you go and I look physical interaction then you are stuck there forever," Kai added.
"I'll go then," Damon butt in.
"What no!" Elena argues.
"Elena I have to. Look I can tell Bonnie about Miss Cuddles and she can absorb the magic and proof she comes back," Damon argues.
"But-" Elena argues.
"I'll go. Bonnie's my girlfriend," Jeremy argues.
"Yeah right girlfriend. Don't try to play the hero now Jer. Shouldn't you have done it a long time ago?" Damon argues. Jeremy looked at him with nothing to say.
"Alright, let's go then," Kai sighed as he held the ascendant in his hand while Damon grab Kai's arm as they both went back into 1994. Elena and Jeremy sees their body made contact to the ground. They were back at the table where Bonnie was still drinking.
"Bon-Bon?" Damon asked Bonnie as he walked towards and sees that she's had already drunk a third of it.
"Now this is much better," Kai sighed as he went to go walk around while Damon was still looking at Bonne.
"I don't know what to do anymore," Bonnie cries as tears stains on her cheeks and drops of tears hits the table. He reached his hand wanting to wipe her tears but fears that he couldn't. He looks at her feeling something inside of him seeing Bonnie in such pain and loneliness.
"Bonnie. I'm right here," Damon whispers into her ear as she feels a wind making contact to her right ear. She stops crying and looks around seeing that the window were close. She then looked back at her drink.
"I would hurry up if I were you. I'm starting to bleed again and I'm starting to get dizzy!" Kai yells at Damon.
"Kai, focus on connecting harder!" Damon yells. Kai chanted again and tried to connect.
"Bonnie," Damon says her name. Bonnie then look up and sees no one.
"This is all a hallucination," Bonnie tells herself.
"No it's not. Bonnie, we can't stay here much longer. Miss Cuddles is in my room, go get her and come back home. They need you back," Damon tells her. She shook her head trying to get rid of the voice.
"I need you," Damon tells her honestly as he touched her arm as she can feel the contact.
"Damon? Are you really here?" Bonnie asked herself not trying to lose hope.
"Bonnie. Go get your magic back and come back to me," Damon tells her.
"I don't know how. I'm not strong enough," Bonnie argues with herself as she shook her head.
"You're a Bennett. You are strong. I'll see you when you come back," Damon tells her into her ear as he gave her a peck on the cheek as the skin contact faded away. Damon and Kai then inhaled air as Elena and Jeremy quickly ran to them both.
"Did you send her the message?" Elena asked Damon.
"Yeah. Yeah I did," Damon nodded and smiled. Back with Bonnie as she was in Damon's room and notice that Miss Cuddles was just sitting on Damon's bed.
"Miss Cuddles?" Bonnie asked as she walked up to Miss Cuddles and took it and gave it a hug. She can feel the magic that she stored inside.
"I'm coming back home. I'm coming back home Damon." Bonnie smiles as tears were falling down onto her cheek.
