Bonnie finally showed up at the Boarding House. Damon, Elena, Stefan and Caroline were all waiting for her to think of a solution. Damon was clearly getting more and more impatient.
"I assume that you have an idea since you turned up" – he said with his usual sarcasm in his voice. After all this time she should have got used to it, and yet it still drove her to crazy.
"Yes, I think I know what to do" – she said watching everyone's faces turn into a mix of relief and curiosity.
"That's great. We knew you could do this, Bonnie" – her best friend Elena smiled and came over to hug her. Bonnie smiled back and cleared her throat to tell everyone what she came up with.
"Hurry up, Bon Bon, we don't have much time" – Damon commented, getting more nervous. Elena turned around to give him an angry look. She loved him but still sometimes he acted like an ass.
"Okay so you guys heard of prison worlds. The spell that some witch used to create them enables her prisoner to kind of go back in time and stay there forever. Maybe I could use the same spell to get you back to the times when the moonstone was hidden at the Lockwood's and no one knew what it was and what it could be used for" – she went on watching everyone's reactions to what she was saying.
"But Bonnie…" – Elena interrupted her, clearly concerned - "If you create a prison world and send us there we would have to get another witch to come with us so that we could find the ascendant and come back…" – She had no idea what her best friend was up to.
"Yes, Elena, I know that. So I found a way to modify the spell. I can send three of you back in those times for three days – not longer and not shorter – so that you can find the moonstone and come back… Of course there are some other sides of the modification : you will not be alone there, life will be going it's own track. Oh, and obviously the day will not repeat itself" – Bonnie smiled as she saw everyone – even Damon – clearly impressed with what she just said.
"So, Damon, was it worth the wait?" – she asked him, pretty proud of herself. He threw her a small – still ironic – smile and focused on putting it all into one piece.
"Bonnie Bennet, you are a genius!" – Caroline exclaimed and smiled widely to Bonnie.
"Thanks" – she answered briefly – "So, who is taking a small trip down memory lane?"
"I'm going!" – Elena said without hesitation.
"So am I" – Damon quickly followed her.
"And me" – this time it was Stefan.
"You don't have to do this, Stefan" – said Caroline, worrying about him, as always – "I mean, you
know, it was still the time when you and Elena…"
"Yeah, think about it Caroline, wouldn't it be more awkward if Elena and Damon accidently bumped into the old me? Considering me and Elena were dating at that time it would be very likely to happen" – he replied, sure of what he wanted – "I'm going"
Bonnie took a few steps to get closer to them – "Let's get started then"
