GTBA

When Caroline woke up reality hit her like a baseball. The last days events played in her head, she realized what had happened. Her mom's funeral was yesterday, and when she got home Katherine and Kol were waiting for her. Almost as if they knew what was coming. They went out drinking and then that's all Caroline can remember. She let out a groan when she realized that she had a hang over, and got up to get some blood. While she was going, she realized she was in a hotel penthouse, and it looked nice. She also realized she didn't feel anything, anything at all for her mother's death the way she did yesterday. She finally came to the conclusion she turned it off, and she felt smug. She saw Katherine and Kol in the kitchen and they already got her a cup of blood.

"Thanks." She mumbled half heartedly.

"No Problem, Hey I know you're not sad and vampires have a lot of tolerance so you can't be that hurt, so come one Barbie, transform back in to perky Polly!" Katherine snapped excitedly.

"Alright ladies, I'd hate to break up this cat fight, even if it is the hottest thing I've ever seen, but we need to get to Paris by sun down so people won't hunt us down and ruin the fun before it starts."Kol said enthusiastically in his British accent and Caroline just fluttered her eyelashes and said seductively.

"Or… we could just say here. All day." Kol quickly responded before he got caught in her smile.

"Well as intriguing as that sounds darling I don't want to spend the next 500 years in a box because the Scooby gang ratted us out to Nik, so let's get a move on girls, we can… discuss this more when we get to the hotel."And so they got on their way.

"So Kol… if Klaus does find us what will you and Katherine do. I mean, he won't hurt me, he loves me too much, but can you trust me with your lives? I mean, you have to give me a pretty good time for me to bat my eyes, tell him I'm sorry, and to release you two." Caroline said questioningly, already knowing the answer, just wanting to add some talk on the plane.

"Well, if we do get caught, you will save me, and I know that because what fun would it be without me. And also, me and Bonnie spent some…. Quality time before I was revived and she was a witch so I think that helps." Kol said, with a huge smirk.

"Touché." Caroline finally said.

"Alright so let's discuss the hotel, Kol. Where are we staying?" Katherine said, realizing no one was going to talk.

"Well we will be staying in a pent house of course, two rooms and a kitchen plus a two bathroom. There is a bar and grill on one floor, and a mall on another two; also don't forget the spa and salons! I picked it for you two. You need to be the best of friends! Oh and Katherine, you two share a room so you can… get to know each other. But don't worry we will still see each other. Tonight we can lay low and cure our jet lag but tomorrow… oh tomorrow. Let's just say I hope you brought some clubbing outfits." Kol said allusively.

"Oh great. But don't think for a second Kol that perky Polly can rub off on me!" Katherine said angrily, which was all they needed to know she wanted a friendship. But Katherine quickly saw the exchanged looks between the two and shouted "I mean it! I'm Katherine pierce! Why would I need a petty friendship? And besides it's impossible. We have it off. Remember!" Katherine did want a friendship, but they needed to work for it.

"Okay Katherine, whatever you say." Caroline said, laughing under her breath at Katherine's previous outburst. "Katherine, we are having a girls night tonight." Caroline said, slowly getting her fire back.

"Okay, the girl's night I agree to but you need better style. I cant be seen with Susie sunshine. I have reputations to uphold." Katherine said with her head held high. Caroline scoffed.

"Yah. reputations as Debbie downer." Caroline added in.

"Um, what's a girl's night?" Kol asked embarrassed.

"It's when we dress up in little night gowns, like tiny, watch movies, get drunk, and cry about our lost loves and how sucky our lives are." Caroline said like it was obvious.

"Oh well have fun darlings, I might join you when you get drunk!" Kol said in a girly voice.

"Fine Kol, whatever!" Katherine said jokingly.

Once they got to the hotel Caroline ran in and dropped her bags dramatically before turning around "We need to go to the bar and get some booze for our girl's night Kat. And some night gowns." Caroline said excitedly before walking out the door with no money, just compulsion.

"Well, are you guys coming? Kol we need you as a third opinion!" Caroline stated leading the way. "Fine I'll go shopping Blondie." Katherine said, not daring to get between a blonde and her shopping mission.

"Oh and seeing women dress up for them is an originals dream come true!" Kol said, switching to his tennis shoes.

"What? I've been shopping with girls like you before. And obviously I'm going to be the muscle who carries the bags." Kol said, fake flexing. "Yah nice joke hot-shot! That's gonna be Katherine!" Caroline said, pointing to a shocked brunette who laughed.

"Fine but only because we know Kol can't play the part." Katherine reluctantly agreed.

"Oh! I love it that's mine!" Caroline said, picking up a baby blue strapless cotton night gown that puffed out a lot above the knee caps with a lace covering. I'm going to put it on! Caroline said flashing through the store to an empty dressing room, and coming out in mere seconds. The baby blue complimented her hair and the lace and how it puffed out looked good on her legs. Caroline also got little white slippers with small heels that were soft and comfortable. "What do you think Kol, to puffy?" Caroline asked with low self-esteem

"No darling! Perfect!" Kol said with eyes wide at the beauty before him. "If you don't buy it I will!" Kol said teasingly

"Okay, okay, I will get it if you say so!" Caroline said, happily dancing around the store, aware of the faces watching and the cameras pointing.

"Alright Katherine what do you have!" Kol said ready to be done after 4 hours of shopping and arms full of bags.

"Finally!" Katherine sighed exasperatedly emerging from her dressing room in a black lace dress that hung above her knee caps with a red belt at the waist and a red rim around the bottom of the dress that was longish in the back and front but shortened on the sides.

"Oh my gosh Katherine! That is you." Kol said in a girly voice! Aware of people posting their conversations on YouTube.

"Oh my gosh Kat I love it. Let's go." Caroline said, looking at the matching black and red heels that went with Katherine's outfit.

After Katherine and Caroline got dressed in their dresses they put the movie the notebook in the DVD player while Kol played video games in his room. "Oh my gosh Kat this is too sad, he can't leave her!" Caroline shouted chucking a handful of popcorn at the screen. Katherine got up and paused the movie.

"Alright, enough movies, now we need to talk; besides this movie reminds me of my life's story. Either I'm sent away or they leave me!" Katherine said, earning a look of sympathy from Caroline.

"Please Kat; you're not the one Klaus left. He left me for stupid little new Orleans-" Caroline said, getting cut off by Kol who heard and entered the room, grabbing a scotch and taking a sip from it, not bothering to get a cup.

"Yes well me and Bon Bon were chummy on the other side and I become flesh and blood, we can be together and then she leaves so she can be with little Gilbert boy, when we can finally be together." Kol exasperated, delighted at this little confessionals.

"Kol, Bonnie never mentioned you so you obviously weren't that important." Caroline confirmed.

"Oh well I would love to be the bearer of bad news but Caroline, Klaus welcomed you to NOLA with open arms! And Kol, you can always see her anytime! Elijah left to be with Hayley the were-slut and Klaus's Demon spawn in NOLA. And Klaus is involved so we can't be together. And my daughter, she left me, and then she got a wolf bite by a stinking wolf! She died on me! I have no one." Katherine screamed, quieting at the end when she realized she revealed the reason for her humanity loss.

"You had a daughter!" Kol said surprised.

"You and Elijah!" Caroline said, enjoying it but still grossed out. "Eh well, Kalijah is a good name." Caroline said concluding the girl's night.

"Well I need some from-the-vein blood in a hurry. How about we go out there, stop traffic, and have a night-clothes fashion show in the night!" Kol said excitedly, taking off his shirt so he was in his pajama-bottoms which were shorts.

"Hehehe, okay Kol, let's do it. Let's show these French people how they roll in the USA!" Caroline said, hurrying out with Katherine and Kol tailing, Getting More and more attention. News papers, videos, and much more would be in their name soon.

Well there you have it, the end of chapter 1. I practically cried during the girl's night confessionals. Especially Katherine's. I wasn't going to do the girl's night this time but I didn't want to forget it so I did. EEK! So exciting. I really wanted to explore some Katherine/Caroline friendships so there it is! Next chapter I think Klaus will be involved! It's fluffier but I love fluff. Please forgive! They will all be in soon enough. I just wanted to make a base! Please review as much as possible! Hope you like it. Happy birthday!
