A/N: Hey guys! This is my first tvd story, I dabbled back in the day with other tv shows but let's not talk about that (unless you want to see the definition of terrible pre-teen writing lol! Anyways, I got this idea from when Caroline tells Klaus that she's Miss Mystic Falls and he's all "I know" (and I'm all swoon) My bff thinks I should write more to this, but I'm not sure. We shall see how it goes, enjoy! :)

Caroline nervously tapped her fingers against the smooth desk. Maybe volunteering for Miss Mystic Falls wasn't such a great idea after all. Elena was sure to win and Caroline would be left feeling like second best again. She eyed Elena fixing her hair from her small mirror, of course she looked beautiful. Caroline shook her head and the thoughts from her mind. This day wasn't supposed to be about Elena. Caroline had done everything in her power to get where she currently was. All of the after school activities, sucking up to Carol Lockwood, and getting up extra early in the morning to look good. If anything, she had this coming to her. There was no way Elena would win this year.

But Caroline was insecure, so these positive thoughts only sustained for a good five minutes. Rolling her eyes, she pushed herself from the table and stood up. Caroline smoothed her dress and looked in the mirror one final time before going downstairs.

Elena had already made her way into the hallway where the girls had to walk downstairs to meet their partners. She was leaning over the banister, looking around downstairs, worry etched on her face. What the hell was she so nervous about? Caroline absentmindedly heard Mrs. Lockwood asking if anyone had seen Amber. Maybe, Amber was secretly scared of losing to Elena so she bailed. Caroline mentally slapped herself. Stop thinking about Elena!

Elena turned to see Caroline standing quietly behind her. "Do you see Stefan down there?" Caroline walked over to the banister and looked down, trying to see if her friend's date was anywhere in sight. Of course, she even had the perfect date. Caroline made an "ugh" noise out loud by accident. Quickly recovering, Caroline replied with a no.

"No, just my boring fill-in escort."

"What happened to Matt?"

"Ugh, they wouldn't let him out of work. Wait, what happened to Stefan?"

"I don't know, he just disappeared somewhere, I don't know. What am I doing? I never should have gone through this."

"What do you mean?"

"I need to find Stefan, this isn't me, I'm not this person anymore." Caroline mentally agreed with Elena in her head. Yes, she was jealous of Elena, even she could admit it. But Elena wasn't doing the pageant for a good reason. She was only doing it because her mother had wanted her to and maybe she did too, at one point. Everything had changed for Elena, she wasn't the same girl she used to be. But Caroline wasn't about to tell her this seconds before they walked downstairs. Instead, she'd be the caring friend.

"No, no, no way, no. You had your chance to drop out and believe me I was all for it because there was no way that I could beat you." Elena tried to stop Caroline right there by giving her a look. But Caroline continued before she got the chance. "Elena, you're doing this because it was important to your mom."

"Miss Caroline Forbes and her escort Jeffrey Lockwood Hamilton."

Caroline grinned as she heard her name being called. It's now or never, Forbes. After turning around to give Elena one last reassuring smile, she headed downstairs towards Jeffrey. Holding her head up high, she descended the stairs with the most confidence she could muster.

I am Caroline Forbes, I can do this, hopefully.

Niklaus Mickaelson detested Mystic Falls and everything about it. Fortunately, it was all for a good reason. Luckily for the small town, Klaus wasn't here to cause trouble quite yet. Instead, he was in the beginning stages for the shenanigans that would ensue in the near future. He had to scope out the town and it's people. And by people, he meant the latest doppelgänger. Klaus smirked to himself and ran his long fingers through his hair. He would finally, after a thousand years, break the retched curse he was under.

Taking a sip of his champagne, he headed outside to the area where the rest of the townspeople stood waiting to see the dance number. His doppelgänger would be in the running for Miss Mystic Falls. Such a stupid pageant, he thought bitterly. Klaus looked around, waiting for it to start and end already. He had done his research before he came, so he easily spotted the doppelgänger's aunt and her teacher. Klaus licked his lips, trying to suppress the huge grin sprouting on his face. He knew that her aunt would come in handy when he needed something from Elena. After living so long, you start to learn how humans like to play. They would try to bargain with the bad guy and if that didn't work, they resorted to begging. Now that was the fun part.

After what seemed like forever, the girls and their partners started lining up outside. The first few girls were completely ignored by Klaus. They were just downright boring and he didn't have time for them. Then the second to last girl came out. Now she's a beauty, he thought to himself, studying her every move. She was wearing a long, green gown with slits showing off her creamy legs. Her hair was simple, yet elegant in large curls. This girl feigned confidence, but he could tell it was an act. Stupid girl didn't think she could win this, Klaus mused, trying with all of his might to look the other way. He couldn't though. She was absolute perfection.

Klaus was too enthralled with the blonde to even notice his doppelgänger walked out with a Salvatore. He had almost forgotten why he was even here. Almost. Turning to the brunette, he mumbled a curse at seeing her with Damon Salvatore. Much to his dismay, they had clearly made friends with the doppelgänger, she was Katherine all over again after all. This would make things more difficult, but nothing Klaus couldn't handle.

The dance had ended and it was time to announce the winner. Klaus was actually interested in seeing if his blonde bombshell would win. He had thought of compelling the judges into picking her, but decided against it. She didn't need his help with this one. Stop it Nik, vampire's don't feel, especially for silly high school girls. Klaus nodded in agreement with his inner thoughts. But still, he couldn't seem to take his eyes off the girl.

So, without further due it is my honor to announce our very own Miss Mystic Falls, Miss Caroline Forbes!

The girl in the green dress, now known as Caroline, stepped forward to collect her sash and flowers. She seemed shocked to say the least, turning to the doppelganger saying, "I actually won!" Caroline, sweet Caroline. Of course you did, you're an angel. Klaus smirked and began clapping along with the other people. After things settled down, Klaus was more than tempted to go up to her and make his presence known to her, but decided against it. This girl had to be his, but now wasn't the right time. He had a doppelgänger to kidnap and a curse to break.

All in due time, Niklaus.
