I'm back with a brand new story! I need some Bamon and Steroline during this agonizing hiatus. I know that the idea of Caroline going to New Orleans has been done before (like a few thousand times) but I wanted to do my own version. Just to be clear this IS NOT a Klaroline fic. Don't get me wrong I thought they were cute and I liked them but I like Steroline and Klayley. There will be some Klaroline scenes they just won't be romantic moments. Btw, I don't watch The Originals so I have no idea what's going on. Even though I don't watch the show I'm a hardcore Klayley and Camlijah fan… I don't know how, I just know that I am. Anyway I'll stop so you can read. Hope you enjoy!

On the Road

Caroline's POV

"I can't believe Klaus invited you to his daughter's birthday." Bonnie looks at me with a questioning gaze.

"He didn't invite me. He invited all of us. He said that he wanted to make up for all that he did to us." I can tell just by the way that Bonnie raises her brow that she has something snarky to say.

"His way of 'making it up to us' really sucks. We have to drive fourteen hours, make conversation with people we've never met, and buy his four year old hybrid daughter a gift." She smiles to show me that she isn't really angry about it.

"What did you get her?" I'm suddenly very curious as I still have no idea what to get her.

"Not telling." Bonnie smiles at me before folding more clothes and laying them into her bag. I stick my tongue out at her which causes her to laugh. "So… how does Stefan feel about all of this?" She zips up her bag and waits for my answer. When I told Stefan about the invite he tried to act like it didn't bother him. Over the past two weeks, while we worried about the arrangements he tried not to worry about the fact that Klaus had invited me.

"He's been very stressed out. I don't understand why." I put my last article of clothing in the black suitcase.

"Really, you don't understand why your boyfriend would be upset that your ex invited you across country?" Bonnie plops down on the left side of my bed while I sit down on the right.

"I understand why he would be worried, but at the same time I don't understand it at all. Klaus invited all of us, not just me, to his daughter's birthday party. This party was organized by his fiancée Hayley, who also happens to be the mother of his child. It's not like he invited me to a romantic getaway in France!" I am nearly out of breath when I finished my rant. Bonnie gives me a sympathetic smile.

"I think that Stefan knows this but he is just worried. He's allowed to worry. Just give him time to process all the information you just gave me. Once he does that, he'll be fine." I know that she's right. She's always right, she's Bonnie. I smile at her, as Damon bursts into the room.

"Come on slow pokes. We have seven hours of driving to get through today and seven to get through tomorrow, so let's move." He walks over to Bonnie's bed and picks up her suitcase. He looks at mine before walking over and picking it up with ease. He nods to the door and walks out of the room.

"I guess it's time to go." I say, as Bonnie giggles and follows Damon out of the room.

Bonnie's POV

We started the long drive to Louisiana at four-thirty in the afternoon. It is now ten o'clock. I look over at Damon, and I find that he is staring right at me. "What?"

"You're tired. You should let me drive." He smirks because he can tell that I'm fighting sleep. I'm extremely tired, but we have driving schedules so that no one gets too burned out. Damon drives three and a half hours and I drive the other three and a half. He started driving from the time that we left. He drove his time, pulled over, and switched with me. I've only been driving for two hours and I'm already exhausted. Although listening to a GPS for over five hours can do that to someone. He is still wide awake, and I suddenly find myself becoming jealous of vampire stamina. "Pull over, Bonnie." He starts to unbuckle his seatbelt.

"No! I'm fine." I know that he knows that I'm lying. He doesn't say anything else. He turns back to look out the front windshield as I continue to drive. At ten fifteen, Damon tells me to stop the car. I don't even bother arguing with him, there's no point. He unbuckles his seatbelt and jumps out of the car. I get out as well and walk over to the passenger's side. When we get back on the road I turn to him. "Thank you."

"No problem." He smiles at me. "Get some sleep, Bon Bon, we still have a long way to go." I lean my head against the window to my right and doze off into a light sleep.

Stefan's POV

Nearly eleven o'clock at night and Caroline is still her bubbly and happy self. It's actually nice to have her talking next to me; it keeps the tiny car from being dead silent. I hate silence and apparently Caroline does too because she won't stop obsessing about the gift situation.

"So do you think that a Barbie doll is a dumb gift?" It's adorable that she is so worried about the gift.

"I don't know. What do four year olds like?" I honestly have no idea what you would give a four year old girl for her birthday, let alone a hybrid girl. As if Caroline can read my mind she expresses my same confusion.

"I don't know! What are you supposed to give to a child that is half wolf? I was really close to giving her a chew toy." I can't help but burst out laughing. She shoots me a glare that tells me she isn't kidding. "Yeah I quickly thought against that. We definitely wouldn't be invited back next year if I did." She smiles at me, as I think about what she just said.

"Did you want to be invited back next year?" When she doesn't answer I assume the answer is 'yes'" I smile and quickly glance over to her. "What's wrong?"

"Are you mad that I accepted Klaus's invitation?" I can tell that she is worried that I will say yes. I think about my answer to her.

"No. I was concerned that maybe… you still had feelings for him, but I'm not worried about it anymore. I realized how irrational my fears were and that I should trust you, which I do." Even though I'm not looking at her face, I can tell that she is smiling.

"Good, because I love you Stefan." I grab her hand and intertwine our fingers.

"I love you too."

Damon's POV

At eleven twenty-five, I pull into the hotel parking lot. I park near the front entrance and look towards the sleeping witch. She's cute when she's sleeping. I don't want to wake her up, so I get out of the car and pick her up bridal style. She immediately snuggles closer to my chest, which makes me lightly chuckle. I walk into the lobby and up to the receptionist. I ask for one room and she tucks two key cards into my hand. When I get to the room I have to struggle for a few minutes to get the door open, when I finally get it I walk inside and gently set Bonnie down on the bed. I get up and walk back down to the car, to get our bags. When I get back in the room, Bonnie is slowly sitting up. "Hey Sleeping Beauty."

"Damon, where are we?" She might be looking around but I know that she isn't talking about the building, but the town.

"We are in Atlanta, Georgia. Blondie texted me a few minutes ago and said that they would be here in about thirty minutes" She covers her mouth, as a yawn escapes. I was starting to rethink our original plan. The four of us agreed that we would get two rooms, boys in one and girls in the other, but I am really tired and Bonnie won't be able to stay awake for another five minutes let alone thirty minutes. There is only one bed, but that doesn't matter, I'll just sleep on the couch. "I'm just going to sleep in here tonight. I'll take the couch." I start to walk over to the couch before Bonnie stops me.

"You're not sleeping on the couch, Damon. It's a queen-sized bed, it can fit us both." She is tired, no exhausted. Never argue with Bonnie Bennett when she is tired. I nod in understanding as she walks over to her bag and pulls out some pajamas. I start to undress as she goes into the bathroom to change her clothes. When she comes out in boy shorts and a giant t-shirt I can't believe how naturally beautiful she is. "Bathroom's all yours." I nod and walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I come out of the bathroom, Bonnie is already asleep. I quickly text Caroline, about the change in sleeping arrangements and the number of the room that Bonnie and I are staying in, before I turn off the light; and quietly climb into bed next to Bonnie.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Caroline's POV

"What room are Bonnie and Damon in?" I barely register that Stefan is talking to me until he nudges my shoulder.

"Oh, he said room…" I pull out my phone to check the text from Damon. "…room 184. Do you think we could have a room close to that?" I ask the lady behind the counter. She then proceeds to give me a lecture about how she's not allowed to do that for the client's safety. I was about to compel her before Stefan beat me to it. He looks deep into her eyes and tells her to give us the closest room to Bonnie and Damon's. She hands us two key cards and smiles at us.

"Room 185. Please, enjoy your stay." I take one of the cards, my suitcase, and head upstairs while Stefan thanks the lady. When we got to our room I flop down onto the bed, face first, and let out a long groan.

"I'm so tired." I start to doze off until, Stefan laughs. I turn to him and give him a sleepy side grin.

"Then go to sleep." Stefan smiles so innocently at me that I can't help but grin at his boyish charm.

"Okay." I climb under the covers as Stefan gives me a weird look.

"Caroline do you want to change into your pajamas?" Stefan smiles with amusement.

"Nope it is after midnight I'm way too tired to change my clothes." And with one last sleepy giggle I close my eyes. I can hear him take his shoes off and climb in the bed. He gives me a soft kiss on my forehead before turning off the light. It's going to be a good week.

So that was the first chapter. I kind of have an idea where this is going but I'm also just kind of going where my thoughts take me. I have no idea how old Hope is in TO. This is not a future fic. This is supposed to take place during season seven of TVD (no Elena) and season three of TO. Spoilers ahead! Obviously Damon and Stefan aren't in the phoenix stone. Caroline isn't pregnant because I really don't know how to write a pregnant Caroline. Cami isn't dead and all those extra people from TO aren't in this story (Kol, French fry? Franky? Freya? whatever her name is, Jackson, and any other extra Mikaelson family members they threw in there). Marcel and Davina are still in the story but that's about it Cami is in it as well. Sorry, but I watched up to 1x10 of TO and I was completely lost. I still try to keep up with it (only Klayley things) on Tumblr. This is definitely an AU story. Any who…hoped you like it! I'll try to update soon! Please review! Thank you for reading!
