I do not own The Vampire Diaries.

Jess walked up the steps of the Mikaelson mansion three hours later, after finding a strapless teal dress. Walking in without knocking, she stood in the foyer, watching as Rebekah, who was in a gold cashmere sweater, was yelling at the staff to put things in different areas of the house. She got ten feet into the house before Kol was right in front of her his trademark smirk in place. "Well, well, well coming to join the party, little one?"

"Hello Kol good to see you again," not waiting for a reply she looked up at him her voice becoming teasing, "how was your nap?"

"Your lucky I like you," his face serious pointing his finger in her face.

She pretended to bite his finger, before squealing away when he lunged at her. Running at vampire speed through the room towards the upstairs, Kol chasing after her only a second behind her. After getting on the second floor landing, she ran to the only door that was open, Rebekah yelling after them to stop running since she had been on the stairs when they had whooshed by. Elijah who had been showing Finn how to work a phone, since he had been in a coffin for nine hundred years, both jumped up at the sudden intrusion of Elijah's bedroom.

Finn grabbed the blur running past him as Elijah commanded, "Kol what is the meaning of this?" seeing as Kol had stopped at the doorway blocking Jess's only path out unless she wanted to jump out the widow.

"Why don't you ask her brother," pointing to Jess who was still being held in Finn's strong grasp.

Elijah turned, "Justine good to see you."

"As you Elijah," looking up at Finn's face, "you mind letting me go Finn."

As Finn let her go, Elijah speaks, "so what have you done to make Kol come after you." It wasn't a question for as long as he remembers Kol and Jess had been thick as thieves even with the age gap between them, they would torment and bicker back and forth till someone stopped them usually himself or one of Jess's brothers.

"I asked him if he had a nice nap and when he stuck his finger at my face I pretended to bite it," smiling innocently up at him as she speaks.

Elijah rolled his eyes, "of course, well can you children," looking between Kol and Jess, "take it outside."

As Jess went towards the door, Finn called out, "Justine what are you wearing?"

Looking down at her outfit before returning her gaze back up to him confused by the question, "what do you mean?"

Elijah then answered for her, "there clothes, most girls were pants nowadays Finn."

Nodding Finn gives of a "oh. Well Elijah it looks like that is another thing I must learn shall we continue on the lesson to work a cellular device," with that Kol and Jess exit, only for Kol to pick Jess up throwing her over his shoulder, heading towards his own bedroom.

Throwing her hard on his bed, she yelled, "What was that for?"

"This my dear is retaliation," plopping down beside her on the bed he grasped her sides tickling her without mercy, once she was in tears from laughing so hard he stopped and asked, "so what is it that people do for fun around here, mother has put a ban on eating the locals and I need entertainment."

"Well we could always annoy Bekah and Nik," Jess spoke smirking, mischief sparkling in her emerald eyes.

He matched her smirk, his brown eyes gleaming with ideas, "that's a lovely idea, lets go find them."

As they walked into Klaus's art room, they saw Klaus with his back turned painting another one of his many paintings, without turning around he spoke, "leave."

"Well brother is that anyway to treat family," Kol spoke as Jess stood beside him.

"Yeah come on Nik don't you want to say hi," Jess spoke her voice portraying its usual sweet accent that matched the rest of the Mikaelson's.

Klaus turned around, "well isn't this a surprise, so Scott got you the message."

Jess rolled her eyes, "yes, told me there was a ball I couldn't miss especially since your mother is apparently alive, but I have yet to see her."

"If you want she is only down the hallway Tin," Klaus says, using her nickname that Rebekah had come up for her.

Jess made a pained face at that, she had no want to see the Original Witch, "no thanks, I rather not."

Klaus and Kol laughed at that, before Klaus looked over at Jess, "So when is Scott coming or did he come with you?"

Ignoring his question she asked one of her own, "So when are you going to release Will and Daniel?"

Sighing as he put down his brush, "I got a few of my hybrids to retrieve them, they should be here within the hour," he figured that by tonight the two men should be able to control their tempers at him for locking them in coffins.

"Good, and Scott should be here in a half hour."

Kol looked down at Jess smirking, "guess we will have a show within the hour."

"I guess so," Jess spoke while Klaus rolled his eyes, seeing that, "it's your own fault Nik for locking them in coffins."

"Why don't you two annoy someone else," Klaus bit back before turning back to his painting.

Going down to the kitchen, both Kol and Jess saw Rebekah still ordering the staff around trying to make the evening perfect, Jess ran up to Rebekah when her back was turned to them, before yelling out, "Bekah!"

Rebekah whirled around at her name, before glancing down slightly at all 5'4 of Jess Carter, "Tin!" bringing her into a hug, Rebekah hadn't seen her since just after Kol had been daggered in nineteen fourteen. Pulling out of the hug, she asks, "What are you doing here?"

"Scott called told me I had to be here," Jess said.

"Well do you have a date to the ball? Do you have a dress? Do have proper shoes?" Bekah quickly fired each question after taking in Jess's appearance with Scott's letterman jacket and skinny jeans with converse.

"My brothers would kill him, so no. Yes and yes."

Rebekah looked at Kol who was waiting as patiently as Kol could actually wait, in other words he was touching everything that was on the table as he listened to his best friend and little sister talk, "I'm taking her, so you are going to have to find your own entertainment," with that she grabbed Jess' arm and started dragging her towards the direction of the stairs.

Jess looked over her shoulder mouthing to Kol, "help me," while Kol laughed at her predicament, he knew she hated anything to do with fashion, heck picking out the dress and the shoes had taken altogether less than an hour.
