Bonnie was genuinely happy to see her friends again, to see people at all, actually, but exhaustion was getting the best of her. Escaping the prison world alone wasn't easy and she felt like sleeping for days.

Bonnie preferred to stay at the Boarding House, after all, it had been her house for many long months. Damon quickly agreed with her and Stefan was very welcoming too, so after saying goodbye to her friends and promising to catch up soon, the three of them headed home.

Bonnie had hidden the Cure as soon as she got to the Boarding House, she thought about asking Damon for help but knowing he sucked at hiding things she decided against it.

In her room, she took a quick shower and went to bed. Damon had her room cleaned up and ready even without knowing when she'd return. Bonnie smiled remembering his shy and slightly embarrassed expression when he informed her of this.

Bonnie slept heavily, she woke up feeling much better. She looked at the alarm clock, it was almost midday and the brothers had let her sleep as she pleased. For a moment she panicked thinking she was alone again but she heard Stefan's voice and calmed down.

Bonnie got out of bed and made her way to the kitchen, from his room Stefan waved at her, he was on the phone. Before she reached the kitchen the smell of food reached her nose, was Damon cooking?

She entered the kitchen and the vampire in question was icing a cake with chocolate. Bonnie's mouth watered, she really was hungry.

"Mmmm Can I have a slice of that?"

"Good morning to you too Bennett" He replied not taking his eyes from the cake. "You know how it is, no sweets before you eat!"

"Pleaseeee"

Damon looked at her like she had grown an extra head "It still needs to refrigerate!"

"Do I need to remind you again that you're not Martha Stewart?" She teased.

"Whatever! Sit down I'll bring you a plate"

"Fine" Bonnie conceded and took a seat at the table. She watched him take something from the oven.

"You made lasagna?" Her eyes were wide with surprise.

"Don't you humans like this thing like crazy?" Damon frowned at her.

Bonnie chuckled, nodding. "Bring it, can't be worse than your pancakes!"

"You love my pancakes" Damon retorted.

"I do" she sighed, sadness flashing through her eyes.

No, no. Damon didn't want her to be sad, he knew how much she suffered being alone in that place.

"C'mon Bon Bon don't go all blue on me"

She smiled weakly between mouthfuls. At least she wasn't complaining about the taste of the food, he must have gotten it right…

"Sorry. I was going crazy in that damned retro world"

"Don't apologize Bonnie! I should have been able to save you. You should have never stayed there alone! A place like that was meant for a person like Kai, like me… not you!"

If Bonnie didn't know Damon so well she would've been surprised. She knew he meant every word. It had been hard to deal with things alone but she had succeeded in saving herself, she didn't want to lose any more time thinking about it.

"How about a slice of that cake now?"

Damon smiled at her and got up to fetch the cake. It looked delicious and tasted good too, Bonnie wondered if Damon's cooking skills had improved that much or it was the fact she wasn't alone anymore that made everything taste better.

Seeing Damon like this, she imagined if he took the Cure and was human again. Could they have an ordinary life? She shook her head, Damon was in love with Elena and he didn't want to be human for her when they were searching for the Cure the first time anyways . . .

Stefan interrupted her thoughts, he was going to see Caroline. Liz had fainted again, her condition was aggravating. Could the Cure help her? It was a cure for immortality, so it wouldn't apply to Liz. Bonnie wasn't sure she could do something to help the mother of her friend.

"Smoke is coming out of your ears Bonnie. What are you thinking about?"

Bonnie eyed him carefully, she didn't want many people to know about the Cure, she didn't want anyone to have false hopes but she had to tell somebody . . .

"I knew you'd bring it" He simply told her. "I'd do the same. Just don't know how it can help us"

"Me neither" Bonnie shrugged. The fact that the Cure was only one was as bad today as it had been before, it's not like all her friends and mother could take it . . .

But maybe she could do something similar to heal Liz. Her ancestor created a cure for immortality, she could try to create something strong enough to heal Liz of her disease . . .

"Damon . . . I have an idea"

In the basement of the Boarding House, Damon gives Bonnie a new sample of his blood for her to experiment with. She combined his blood with a combination of herbs and enchantments and she was succeeding but it wasn't quite right yet.

"Ugh, this one is a fail too. More blood please!"

Damon took the glass she offered and bit his wrist, he then got up and went to pick up a blood bag, mumbling about how Bonnie wanted to drain him dry but she didn't pay attention, she was very close to actually making something.

Bonnie looked at the glass in front of her, the substance was stable enough not to hurt Liz but if it didn't work, Caroline would be very disappointed.

"So. Is that it?" Damon asked, taking sips from his blood bag.

Bonnie shrugged "It won't harm her. . . I'm sure it will help, but it might not cure her completely"

"So what? You can make more if necessary. Liz will drink that and then will have Jo run some tests to see the results!"

Bonnie smiled happily, Damon's words encouraged her "Okay, let's go!"

Bonnie put the mixture in a bottle and headed to Caroline's house. Damon let her drive with little resistance, he was as excited as she was. Bonnie expected him to mock her driving but he just chatted playfully with her.

Stefan was outside the house and approached them. Damon took the opportunity and asked his brother to distract Caroline while they spoke to Liz and gave her Bonnie's cure.

Liz agreed to take it, she didn't want to leave her daughter just yet. Damon called Jo and asked for the exams, while Bonnie and Liz talked.

He looked at Bonnie, feeling proud. She really was amazing, being able to come up with this cure so quickly. Not even Emily could do it like his little witch, he was sure of it.
