Founders Day

Part One: The Day Before

"Stefan?" Elena called from the front porch way of the boarding house. Elena had something to ask him and she couldn't seem to find him around town. Elena walked in and saw Damon sitting on the couch. "Ever hear of knocking Miss Gilbert?" He asked sarcastically.

"Where's Stefan?" Elena asked as she walked into the living room and saw Damon drinking –again-.

"Probably out sucking some puppies dry." Damon replied as he patted the seat next to him. It was awkward to be around him especially when Isobel had just told her that he loved her. She had a feeling it was true especially when she saw Damon's face the other day when she had said it out loud.

"Ha-ha." Elena said as she sat down next to him still feeling that awkwardness. Elena was silent as Damon stood up to get another drink. Those words Isobel said were still running fresh in her mind, "He loves you."

"You want one?" Damon asked snapping her out of her trance. She shook her head still silent and he shrugged his shoulders. "Suit yourself." Damon then walked over to her and cocked his head to the side. "Is this about last night?"

"Is what about last night." Elena asked innocently and quietly.

"This silent treatment, is it about what Isobel said?" Damon asked as he sat right down next to her. Elena shook her head and said, "I'm not giving you the silent treatment." Damon frowned. She must feel uncomfortable about finding out that he loves her like this. He really wanted to assure her that it wasn't true, but he couldn't.

Damon sighed and said, "Elena…" Elena looked to him and huffed, "It's just a little awkward to be around you now." Damon frowned at what she said and then rolled his eyes. "Let's go do friend things Elena. We'll go to the mall or whatever the heck you do with Bonnie and Caroline."

"You'll go to the mall? What if I said I wanted us to go get pedicures?" Elena asked feeling that awkwardness slowly fade away. Damon's attempts at making her laugh were taking it away.

"You can call me Damonita." He said with a wink. Elena laughed and said, "I'd love too, but I really have to talk to Stefan."

"Great, let me go get my purse as we'll go when you're done with Mr. Brooding." Damon smirked and walked up the stairs. Elena was left still laughing a little at the purse bit as Stefan walked in with a smile.

"What's so funny?" Stefan asked as he walked into the living room. Elena turned to Stefan and smiled at him. "Just something Damon said to me." Elena was happy with Damon and she looked to Stefan and said, "I need to talk to you."

Stefan's frown dropped in the fear that Elena was leaving him for Damon. They had become friends and he was jealous. They had never had the chance to become friends first. They were a little rushed and they dated to start. It had worked up to a point. Elena would now sometime's go to Damon to talk to other than him.

"Is everything ok?" Stefan asked.

"Everything's fine Stefan. I just need to know if you'll go on the Founder's Day float with me." Elena asked with a smile. A wave of relief washed over Stefan and he smiled. "Of course." Then he sat down on the couch and looked over to her. "Care to join me?"

"I'd love too but I'm going shopping with Damonita." Elena giggled. Stefan was confused for a minute and then turned around to look at her fully. "Damonita?"

"Yup, that'd be me." Damon said almost on cue with Elena's purse over his shoulder. Elena raised and eyebrow and Stefan felt a ping of jealousy. Damon was the one making Elena laugh and going shopping with her. It should be him that does that not his brother. Stefan didn't want to seem like a jealous boyfriend so he watched Elena walk up to him. "See you later."

Stefan smiled and Elena pecked him on the cheek and walked out the door trying to get her purse back from Damon. Stefan's smile fell as he heard Damon's car start and Elena laugh again. It was like someone stabbing him in the heart over and over again.

"So you just left him there?" Elena asked with a laugh. Damon was laughing now too.

"Yup I just left this random guy with his pants around his ankles and his hands behind his back." Damon smirked as they pulled up to the mall.

"You'd make a horrible cop." Elena giggled and opened up her door and grabbed her purse before Damon could. Elena was glad that the awkward tension between them was gone for now. They had only been in a car for a few minutes and Damon had been able to make her laugh uncontrollably, something that Stefan had never been able to do. Elena's eyes shot open when she realized she was comparing the brothers. She put the thought aside and walked into the mall.

"I need to go and get my dress from the tailors so if you want you can go and get your hair done." Elena said playfully.

"My hair is perfect. It doesn't need a stylist." Damon said as he followed Elena to the tailors. "Yes because everything about you is just perfect." Elena stated sarcastically.

Damon smirked at her and said, "I'm glad you finally see that." Elena rolled her eyes and told the man what she was here for. The old man quickly checked Elena out and she looked disgusted as she walked away from him. When the man was gone Damon burst into laughter.

"You just hit on by an 80 year old man!" Damon laughed. Elena frowned and her brow furrowed and she got closer to Damon and said, "I've been hit on by someone twice his age, and he can be a total asshole, do you know him?" Elena asked him harshly.

"Ouch, that hurts kitten." Damon said as the old man came back out with the dress. He looked suggestively at Elena again and she felt bile rise to her throat and he said, "It's a very big dress, would you like me to help you get in on?"

Elena instantly said, "No. I'll have him help me." She quickly grabbed Damon's arm and brought him to the dressing room. Damon laughed again and he was practically on the floor. "So creepy." Elena said with a frown.

"Well I benefit out of it so, let's get you out of these clothes." Damon said with an eyebrow wiggle. Elena frowned and said, "You can get out of the changing room now."

It was Damon's turn to frown and he made a tsking noise as he did it, "Now, now Elena. You dragged me in here and I'm not leaving until I see what I want to see." Elena glared at Damon and just started to unbutton her shirt. It was either Damon saw her wearing almost nothing or a creepy old man. You have to pick your battle, she thought as she was left in her bra and jeans.

"Can you open up the dress bag?" Elena asked the smirking Damon.

"Jeans first." Damon said leaning back against the dressing room wall. Elena frowned and just took off her jeans to see her black girl-boxers. Damon then turned around and grabbed the dress from the bag. Elena looked over and saw a huge brown dress that puffed out from the sides and a red ribbon around the waist. The design on the actual dress had swirls and Elena frowned. This was Caroline's idea.

Damon looked at the dress confused. "This doesn't look like you picked this out."

"Caroline wanted a Gone with the Wind style for the float this year."

Damon didn't say anything as Elena took the dress from him and slowly slipped into the dress and she fumbled with the zipper. She looked over to Damon and said, "A little help?"

Damon smirked walked up behind her and zipped up the dress slowly allowing his fingers and hands to glide along the zipper. He could feel the shivers that he was producing on Elena and he then backed off. Elena looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I think that it's fine."

Then the old man knocked on the door. "Miss Gilbert do you need any assistance with how the dress fits?" Elena gagged at the thought of the old man touching her and quickly said, "No it's perfect. I'll be out in a minute."

Damon was laughing again and Elena was feeling as if she could puke any minute. "Not funny." Elena said as Damon unzipped the zipper and Elena took off the dress. She quickly got redressed knowing that Damon was watching her every move.

Elena grabbed her clothes and the dress bag. She quickly paid the old man but before she could leave he stopped her again.

"May I see your cell phone Miss?" He asked.

"Um, why?" Elena asked. What the hell did he want with her phone?

"Well if you need me for anything I'll just be a call away." He winked. Elena frowned and said, "I have the tailor number at my house, and I think I'll be fine." She then quickly walked away from the tailors and outside of the store with Damon laughing like a hyena.

"Shut up. That was disgusting." Elena said as she walked away with the dress bag. She was feeling a little hungry. "No, that was the funniest thing I've seen in my life. Or un-life but still."

"After that I need a shower or something." Elena said as she started walking towards the food court. "Is that an invitation?" Damon asked.

"You're supposed to be Damonita today not perverted Damon." She said as Damon walked with her to the food court. "There is always going to be the perverted Damon no matter who I play."

"Whatever." Elena said as she walked to Subway, grabbed a sandwich, quickly ate and said, "Anywhere you want to go?"

"Armani!" Damon said with a smirk. Elena rolled her eyes but followed him to the designer store where she saw eight gay guys there. Damon walked in and said, "What do you think my ass would look good in?"

Elena frowned and said, "You're so gay." Then she watched Damon grab 12 shirts and pants and walked to the changing room. Elena sat there for hours watching Damon come in and out of the change room showing her everything he had picked up. Finally he had come to a decision that only 4 shirts and a pair of jogging pants would suffice.

"You done?" Elena asked. He really did take a long time at stores; she had to get some rest for tomorrow's events and it they had already been in the mall for a good 7 hours. Stefan was probably freaking out.

"Yes, you have a hot date with Stefan or something?" He laughed. Elena glared at him and said, "No, but tomorrow is Founder's Day and I need some rest."

Damon quickly paid for his clothes and they started walking back to his car. "Ah, I remember the first Founder's Day Celebration." Damon said as he placed his bags in the trunk and Elena spread her dress out in the backseat. "You were at the first one? Didn't people think you were dead?" Elena asked as she got into the passengers seat.

"Yeah, but I just compelled them to forget if they started to freak out. It was after the vampire apocalypse and nobody ingested Vervain anymore." Damon said as he started to drive off.

"Very nice." Elena laughed. "I am so glad I have Vervain on me 100% of the time."

"If your boyfriend hadn't had given that to you when he did, I would've compelled you to kiss me." Damon stated.

"Oh yeah! That night at the football game when I slapped you. I completely forgot about that!" Elena giggled.

"That was a good slap. Did you ever slap anyone before me?"

"No, I believe you were my first." Elena said watching the window and scenery.

"You make it sound like I took your virginity or something." Damon laughed. Elena glared at him and said, "Don't make me slap you again."

Damon smirked at her as he pulled up to the boarding house. "You staying the night?" He asked as he got out and grabbed his bags from the trunk.

"I don't know. Maybe." Elena said as she grabbed her dress and brought it inside. Stefan was pacing in the living as Elena called out. "Elena?" Stefan asked as Elena walked into the living room with Damon behind her.

"Hey." She said with a smile.

"Can I talk to you?" Stefan asked. Elena frowned and looked over to Damon. "Thanks Damon." She said.

"No problem." He said as she walked up the stairs with Stefan. Elena smiled at him one last time before finally walking at Stefan's pace.

Elena turned up the stairs and to Stefan's room. Stefan closed the door and looked to Elena and frowned. "What's wrong Stefan?"

"You and Damon." Stefan said.

"What about me and Damon?" Elena asked with a frown.

"I don't think you two should be friends anymore." Stefan said sternly.

Stefan is so mean! What did you think of the new story?
