A/N: I'm DYING for the next episode, the extended promo was very Delena filled. I certainly hope they find a cure, though. I mean Vampire Diaries without Damon? Well, they've lost over half the population of viewers, but no big right? Anyways, this is what I think will happen based on previous events, and spoilers.

If any of you would like to watch the extended promo, here's the link: http:/www (DOT) youtube (DOT) com/watch?v=wDMa6yISpdo

Just replace the (DOT)'s with actual periods.

Enjoy! (;

Caroline walked to the Grill with unease, however she fumbled to mask herself with her confident façade, one she hoped Matt wouldn't see through. As she approached the entrance, she took a deep breath before stepping inside.

It appeared to be a very busy day for The Mystic Grill. The seats were filled, it was quite noisy, and waiters were hurrying and scrambling to serve everyone. When her gaze finally landed on the waiter she desperately needed to see, she had to suppress a wry smile, though a sad one at that.

Matt was taking a couple's orders, asking them what they would like to drink. As he finished up, she moved towards his direction, hoping that he'd somehow he'd sit down and chat with her, even that would satisfy Caroline on this particular day.

Though, when she brushed passed him, sending him a warm and welcoming smile, greeting, "Hey Matt," he didn't even take the time to look at her.

Instead, he shot her a very slight nod without meeting her eyes. "Caroline," he replied in a mockingly emotionless tone.

Her smile immediately faded, and she couldn't bring herself to pester him any longer.

Elena sat uncomfortably in Sheriff Forbe's office, fidgeting with her vervain necklace. She was dressed semi-formally, as was Jeremy, who was lounging in the chair adjacent to hers. For some reason, he didn't seem to be as nervous as Elena was, he was relaxed and at ease, shooting Elena a encouraging smile.

She sighed, tapping her right high-heel on the floor impatiently as she waited for the Sheriff to actually join them.

They were only here of course, because of Aunt Jenna's "disappearance." That was their brilliant plan, to pretend they had no idea what had happened and let everyone assume what they automatically would. That Jenna was missing.

The only thing that was left undecided, is where they would be permanently living from now on, and even more importantly, who with. Elena had not turned eighteen yet and it was therefore not acceptable for her to be living without a guardian, and for her to take care of Jeremy.

When the door finally creaked open and Sheriff Forbes advanced in, her bulky boots thumping loudly, Elena immediately sat up straighter and turned all attention towards her.

Liz took her seat behind her cluttered desk and folded her hands on top of a stack of papers, sending them a pitiful smile. Elena couldn't help but feel guilty about how much they did not deserve any pity. "Now,' she began. "I understand that your Aunt Jenna has went missing. I am terribly sorry for the both of you. We would really appreciate it here if you'd share any information about your Aunt's disappearance that you could happen to have."

Elena was not the best liar, or perhaps she just felt too incredibly ashamed to respond, but in either case, she left the talking to Jeremy. "We don't really have any idea about what happened yesterday. She didn't seem any different than usual, I just don't understand…" he offered to her, hoping that she'd be satisfied with his response and would move on.

Liz nodded. "So do you have anywhere you can stay?" She asked. "Only for awhile, until we can figure out if we need to find you another legal guardian," she explained.

Elena knew for a fact that they would probably be staying at the boarding-house. After all, it was in her name now. "Of course," Elena assured.

"That's great. I'm really glad you met with me today."

Damon trudged downstairs, his arm hurting like hell. He groaned softly, but didn't see the need to pull up his sleeve and check on it. He already knew that he was the one destined to die now, and he didn't feel like a reminder this "fine" morning.

He continued into the kitchen, only to find Stefan. Big shocker there.

Stefan blocked his escape and confronted him. "She will find out eventually you know."

"Thanks for the update captain obvious, now get out of my way," Damon replied sarcastically, stepping to the side attempting to ditch Saint Stefan.

Stefan was fast today however, and moved swiftly to block him once again. "Don't you think it would be better for her if she had time to deal with it, instead of just waking up one day to find that your gone?" He questioned. "You should tell her."

"Don't you think it would be better for me if I didn't?" Damon retorted, finally managing to pass Stefan. He proceeded to get himself a glass of blood. Today of all days, he really needed it.

When Damon turned from the counter he was extremely pissed to find that Stefan had followed him, clearly not understanding that their conversation was done, over, finished.

"So suddenly you'd pick yourself over Elena? Since when? I thought you loved her," Stefan mocked.

Damon was not in the mood to respond, so in fact, he didn't. He just slipped past Stefan into the Living Room.

A/N: This is probably not going to be a long story. Where I feel the episode will end, this will also. I promise that this will be finished before the next episode airs. It'll probably only end up being around two or three chapters in total.

PLEASE REVIEW! It's always appreciate, in fact, it's ENCOURAGED. (;
