One More Chance

I just re-watched Flipped and it's still freaking adorable.

Who is excited for new TVD episode and SE scenes? *raises hand*

As usual I don't own anything. At all. =-))

Chapter 2

The Fund-Raising Party that she has organized as part of the Founder's Day Celebration is a complete success, Caroline mused as she looks on at the on-going party. Everybody is in a great mood and the ladies in particular are eagerly waiting for the night's main event, The Annual Bachelor Auction.

Stefan was pacing the room anxiously while Damon was lounging on a chair, holding a glass of scotch in his hands. They were waiting in one of the many rooms in the Lockwood Mansion, which was assigned for the Bachelors as they waited for their turn on the stage to be auctioned off.

"Would you sit down? You're making me dizzy," Damon said while taking a sip from his glass. Stefan glared at Damon but sat down nonetheless in the empty chair beside his brother.

"Did you know that it was going to be a silent auction?" Stefan asked his brother. Damon just shrugged his shoulder in response. Stefan groaned at his brother's nonchalance and leaned over his seat. He is beginning to questioning his sanity for having allowed Caroline to talk him into participating in the auction. It had seemed simple to him. Five days off his life to help raise money for the benefit of Mystic Falls. But he guessed wrong.

After a few minutes, Damon's name is being called on stage. He took a last swig of his drink and stood up. "Well, little brother, watch and learn."

"How much do you love me?" Caroline asked Bonnie as they stood watching while the bidding for Damon is on-going, or rather the lack of bidding. It seemed that hell really hath no fury like a woman scorned especially the women from Mystic Falls. His reputation of being a "flirt" has finally caught up with him and the women have banded together not to bid for him at all.

"Enough. Why do you asked?" Bonnie asked eyeing her blonde best friend suspiciously.

"You need to bid for Damon," Caroline replied in desperate tone to Bonnie.

"What! No way. And besides I am enjoying this little show. Karma is truly a bitch," Bonnie answered, highly amused with Damon's predicament.

"Well then enjoy this last night with me since I am sure Damon would kill me after this."

"Caroline, don't be overdramatic. He would not do that, maybe torture you but kill you, I don't think so," Bonnie teases her friend.

"Bonnie!" Caroline cried. "This is not funny. You know I have low tolerance of pain. And black and blue is not my color at all," she whined.

"Fine," Bonnie sighed. "But I am only bidding the minimum amount, $50. That's all I have on me. If you ask me, he is worth even less." She added.

"Yay! Thank you! Now go and submit your bid and ends his and my misery!" Caroline said while pushing her friend towards the front of the room.

"You owe me for this."

Stefan didn't know what to think. The person who'd won him didn't meet him onstage, but left him a note instead. However, he was spared being made the laughing stock because he'd gotten the one of the highest bid during the auction. He only wished that whoever she was, she wasn't crazy.

He looked at his watch again. She was supposed to come to the Salvatore Boarding House for breakfast but she was very late and he is getting more annoyed by the minute. He did not have much sleep last night because he was kept awake by Damon's whining and he has to wake up early to cook breakfast for a girl he had not met yet. She had requested that he cook for her, asking for blueberry pancakes and bacon and egg.

He sighed and was about to throw the cold breakfast in the trash when heard a knock in the front door. Finally, he thought. He made his way to the door and stopped. He took a deep breath, prepared himself to greet her. But when he saw who was on the other side on the door, he was speechless. Who wouldn't be since she was the last person he expected to see or bid for him.

"Hi Stefan."

Damon had thought he'd be the one who'd rake in the highest bid of the evening, as it was, he'd become the laughing stock instead.

It had taken every effort to joke with the emcee after being told how much he'd been sold for. He smiled until his jaw ached because he didn't want to look like a spoilsport. Even that mutt had laughed himself silly at his expense.

He sighed as he made his way to her door. He did not want them – specifically Vampire Barbie and her Boy Toy to have any more reasons to taunt him being a spoilsport. He knocked at her door, hard. After a few minutes he can hear her going down, grumbling about being waken up too early.

"Hi Bonnie," Damon greeted her as soon as she opened the door and proceeded to enter the witch's house.

"What are you doing here?" Bonnie asked the dark-haired vampire, confusion is written all over her face.

"Well, Caroline told me that if I join this auction, I would be enjoying 5 days of free meals and other things courtesy of the person who bought me. I am just collecting what have been promised to me." He replied then went into the direction of the kitchen.

"What free meals? And what do you mean by other things exactly?" Bonnie asked, following him to her kitchen.

"We can discuss it later. So, how do you want your eggs? Scrambled or sunny side up?" Damon replied while holding a try of eggs.

She let out a groan; she is going to kill Caroline after she is done eating her breakfast.
