DISCLAIMER: The Vampire Diaries and the characters belong to their rightful owners. All that is mine here is Theresa and the story.

She walks into the Grill, more stunning than ever, only to find someone very familiar at the bar talking to her ex-boyfriend. She walks over to them and puts her hand on Stefan's arm, making him turn around.

„Aren't you supposed to be doing backflips somewhere at school?" he asks her, his ego satisfied by the conversation he had with a beautifull brunette next to him.

„Practise isn't until tomorrow, Stefan," Rebekah answers, „Have you recognized him from my stories or is this just a coincidence?"

The brunette steps down from her stool and makes a few steps closer to Rebekah, „Coincidence, but I knew it was the famous Ripper as soon as he said his name. It's good to see you."

Stefan coughs to draw attention from the women, „I am still here, in case you forgot," he says and raises his glass closer to his lips as Rebekah and the brunette take their places, each at one side of his.

„Don't act jealous, Stefan, you had her attention long enough. It's my turn now," Rebekah moves her hand away from him and takes the glass of her usual wine the compelled bartender always has prepared for her.

„I do hope I will not run into your brother during my stay," the brunette says, „He really kills my mood."

„Dear Theresa, I have to disappoint you. I am a very active member of the Mystic Falls community now," he says and appears from behind Rebekah, taking the glass from her hand. „To what do we owe the pleasure of having you here?"

„We'll see if it's a pleasure," she tells him, taking a sip from her vodka, „But since you're asking, I came to see my friend. Because I heard she's alive again and all that," she says with an ironic smile all over her face as she looks up to meet his eyes.

„Wonderful," he says as he puts his hand at the back of her head, „ Why don't you stay with us, darling?"

Stefan stands up and puts his glass back onto the bar, making a loud noise doing it, „I suppose I am only the owner of the house, it's not like my word should count for anything."

„Don't worry, sweetheart, I won't bother you," Theresa tells him, „I already have a place to stay." She turns to the hybrid, „Why don't you follow your little friend and leave us girls to talk, Nik?"

Klaus turns his back on her, and follows Stefan out, „You two ladies have fun."

„So this is the famous town of Mystic Falls, Virginia," she says as she feels Rebekah's arm around her shoulders and returns the hug, „I actually expected something more exclusive."

Rebekah smiles, „We have Original vampires, witches, doppelgängers, hybrids, mediums, a whole vampire hunting squad and ordinary vampires, the wonderful Salvatore brothers included. What is more exclusive than that?"
