Hello Readers. Welcome to my newest story. I hope you like it. It's a bit of a dark comedy. The story begins in the third season. So, Rebekah is out of her coffin. However, after the spell the time line shifts back to when the place the The Vampire Diaries TV program would begin. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Happiness is not Always a Warm Puppy
There were many times in Rebekah Mikaelson's life in which she wished that all of her deepest desires could come true. She never thought that it was possible though. At the moment she was having coffee with a young warlock who she had just met. She had told him about all of her current problems with men: Nik, school, her family in general and how she simply wanted to be happy.
The warlock listened attentively giving Rebekah what she wanted, what she really needed, someone to listen to her. "So, that's my life." Rebekah sighed picking up a latte and sipping from it.
The warlock smiled at Rebekah. "And if you could change anything about it, what would you change?"
Rebekah scoffed. "What would I not change? I would be human. My family would be together and happy. Mother, Father, Henrik and all of my brothers, even Finn. We would be happy and human. All of the men would adore me. I would rule Mystic Falls High. And I would finally be content."
The warlock laughed. "You don't ask for much."
The corners of Rebekah's lips curled upward. "No, I don't. I have never done anything on a small scale." She sighed. "But it will never happen. Well, it was nice meeting you, Luka."
Luka nodded. "No problem. And Rebekah, I wouldn't give up on your dreams, just yet." With that Luka got up and walked out the door and into the night.
The next morning Rebekah woke up with a start. Something was in her bed. Make that several somethings. Rebekah groaned wondering what in the God's name was going on. "Come on, Bekah. Get up." Rebekah felt someone tug at her feet but the tugging was not what made her sit up straight.
"Henrik," Rebekah gasped. Henrik was sitting at the foot of her bed playing with her feet. He was sporting a goofy grin. Rebekah lunged forward and grabbed the boy pulling him into a tight embrace.
"Bekah, let the boy breath." Rebekah heard a voice coming from her right. There standing against a wall was Finn. He was also smiling. Rebekah let go of Henrik and lunged toward her oldest brother. She almost fell over Kol, who had been lying beside her on her right side. She felt a hand grab her from behind to steady her and found Klaus, who looked surprisingly untroubled. Elijah was standing behind him.
Rebekah's eyes widened. Elijah was not wearing a suit. He was wearing a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Rebekah had very little time to react before the door to her room swung open. Esther stepped through with a cake in her hands. Mikael stepped in behind her. He pulled out a lighter and Rebekah grabbed a fistful of Nik's shirt. She thought he was going to set her bed on fire. Instead, he began to light the candles on top of the cake.
"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you, Rebekah…" Rebekah felt tears well in her eyes. If this was a dream she did not believe that she ever wanted to wake up.
"Come on, Bekah, make a wish." Kol took the cake from his mother and held it before his sister. Nik pulled her hair back to prevent her from setting her hair on fire.
Rebekah began to shake her head. "I can't think of anything I could wish for because I have everything I want right here." She looked at each of the smiling faces around her. After thinking of something she could wish for she blew out her candles and was relieved to see that it came true. Her family was still there when she opened her eyes.
"Okay, children, I am placing the cake in the refrigerator until you come home from school." Esther looked pointedly at Kol, who rolled his eyes.
"Yes, mother. Wouldn't want to make the queen of the school late for her first day. Right, Bekah?" Kol winked at his sister.
After her family left the room Rebekah climbed out of her bed and began to search for her outfit for the day. She found a red summer dress and pulled out a pair of silver wedges. After curling her hair and pulling on a pair of designer sunglasses she was ready.
When she walked out of the door she found Mikael waiting in the driveway. He handed her a set of car keys. "Happy birthday, Bekah."
Rebekah's jaw dropped when she saw the red convertible. In this world her father bought her a car. She squealed with delight and hugged him before racing to her new car.
"Wait up, Bekah." Kol came running outside and leapt into the car beside her. Nik was the last to appear. He jumped into the back. Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "You're going to school?"
Klaus nodded. "Yes, today. I am. After all it is the first day. I'll wait a week before I start ditching." Rebekah nodded taking this information in before she revved the engine and made her way toward the high school. All three siblings chattered happily until they got to the school.
The minute they arrived a group of girls came running over to Rebekah. "Oh my God, Bekah, your hair looks great." "I love your dress." "Do you think that I should wear the eggshell colored bikini or the cream colored one to the car wash?" "I heard that Matt Donavon and Tyler Lockwood were arguing about who should take you to homecoming?"
Kol and Klaus began to extract themselves from the girls. "We'll see you later, Bekah." Kol called as he and Klaus ran away from Rebekah and her throng of followers. Rebekah waved good-bye.
"Bekah, your brothers are so hot." One of the girls said and the others nodded their agreement. "Are any of them single?" Another girl asked. "Yeah, because you have to introduce us so that each of us could have a date? I mean Elijah and Finn are in college but so what. College guys are hot."
Rebekah nodded. 'Is that why these girls were being nice to her because they wanted to date her brothers?' Rebekah wondered. 'And where is Caroline Forbes?'
On cue Caroline Forbes appeared. She was on the back of a motorcycle. Rebekah's jaw dropped as she watched a girl with Caroline's face get off of the bike. Caroline's hair was jet black with purple streaks. She had a ton of black eyeliner on and fish net stockings. Her skirt was two inches too short and when she bent over to kiss the driver good-bye she was showing off a red lace bra under a tank top which barely covered anything other than the bra.
Caroline turned to Rebekah and her minions and sneered. "What are you looking at Princess?" With that Caroline walked away swinging her hips.
"What was that?" Rebekah whispered.
"Don't worry about her. Caroline Forbes is just another loser who shouldn't be allowed to walk the halls of our school." one of the girls said. "So, anyway. You are totally going to win Miss Mystic Falls this year. Everyone says so…"
Rebekah was no longer listening. Her head was spinning over the new Caroline. If that was Caroline, what would everyone else be like?
