Elena, Caroline and Bonnie are planning the guest lists for Elena and Damon's wedding, which is only six months away. They are sitting around the dining room table at Damon and Elena's house and they have tons of wedding plans scattered across it, including the binder that Caroline had put together for their future weddings when they were kids. The three women are all drinking wine, because of course wine goes with wedding planning.

"Should we invite the Mikaelsons?" Elena mused to her co-maid of honors, as she took a sip of her second glass of wine.

Bonnie smiled at this, wanting to antagonize Caroline for her crush on Klaus, "I definitely think we should invite Klaus." As she motioned to Caroline, she almost spilled her glass of wine on Caroline's wedding binder. Bonnie was so grateful that it didn't spill, and she was also appreciative of the fact that Caroline had everything in sheet protectors. "Thank God for her obsessive need for organization." She thought to herself, knowing that probably wouldn't be the only close call with wine for the day.

Caroline began blushing immediately as she responded, way too quickly, "Seriously? This is Elena's wedding. Do we really want her perfect day ruined by the presence of a psychopath?"

Elena slightly chuckled at her best friend's obvious deflection of her feelings, "Oh come on Caroline. You know he's changed. He has a daughter now. I don't think he's quite as unpredicable and reckless as he was, when we first knew him. You just don't want to face him because of the letter he sent you."

Caroline's cheeks turned from light pink to beet red, which was not helping the fact that she was trying to deny that she had feelings for him. She thought back to the letter he had sent her once the school had opened. He sent her a check, a donation of three million dollars to be used to help run the 'Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted.' However, it was the end of the letter that Elena was referring to, where Klaus wrote that he was proud of her for opening the school. But his exact words still rang in her mind, "I do look forward to thanking you in person, someday... However long it takes." It was a reference to their earlier conversation about the future and that he intended to be her last love, 'however long it takes.'

Caroline, taking a sip of 'liquid courage' before continuing, "Okay fine, that may be true. But I still think it's a bad idea."

Bonnie was still smirking from making Caroline slightly uncomfortable, but decided to slightly change the subject, for now, "Well, I think Elijah would love to come to such a grand occasion." Bonnie waved her free hand as she said the last words and three girls burst into laughter because they knew how proper Elijah Mikaelson could be.

Elena was the first one to compose herself from her laughter and responded, "Yes, I definitely agree. Should he get a plus one?"

Caroline trying her best to change the subject from her and Klaus replied, "Yes. I think he's dating Hayley now."

Bonnie started laughing again and almost spilt her wine glass a second time, "Klaus's baby mama?"

Caroline was slightly infuriated with herself for bringing the conversation back to Klaus, "Yeah, Hope's mother. It's complicated."

Elena decided that it was her turn, instead of Bonnie's, to tease her best friend about her crush on Klaus, "Obviously. Gee Caroline, for someone not wanting to admit they like someone, you sure know an awful lot about his life and family."

Caroline began blushing again but she's able to compose herself, for the most part, with the statement, "I make it a point to know about everything going on in our lives. Including the Mikaelsons."

Elena looks slightly defeated, yet impressed with Caroline's convincing reply and decides to move on with the guest list, for now, "Okay fine. What about Rebekah?"

Caroline is extremely thrilled that they have moved on from the conversation about her love life, so she repositions herself at her chair and happily replies, "Yeah, I think she'd like to come. She, like her brother, loves a great party too."

Bonnie was slightly giggling as she adds, "Besides, it gives her a chance to reconnect with Matt."

Bonnie loved teasing her friends about who they should be with because ever since she fell in love with Enzo, she wanted them all to be as happy as she was.

A smile comes across Caroline's face as she holds back a chuckle too, "Oh yeah, I forgot about them two. They were, kinda cute."

At that statement, all three girls began laughing again because of the fact that they were acting like high school girls trying to force their friends with their 'soulmates'.

Elena decided it was her turn to be the responsible one and continue with the wedding planning before they got completely sidetracked. "Is Kol still around?" She asked, mainly to Caroline since she knows the most about the Mikaelsons. Elena wasn't too thrilled with this Mikaelson brother, especially because of their rough past that included the altercations with her brother, Jeremy. However, she knew that she should be the bigger person because it would be rude not to invite him, if he was still around that is.

Caroline gives Elena's question a quick thought before responding, "Yeah, he is. But knowing Rebekah, he'll be her plus one. Since she's not dating anyone at the moment."

Elena was smiling and almost giggling with uncontrolled glee, which was probably due to the fact that she was now on her third glass of wine, "Okay then." She pauses and places both of her hands on the table for dramatic effect. "Well, that just leaves the last Mikaelson sibling. Klaus."

Caroline quickly interjected before they could tease her any further, "Actually, Klaus has another sister, Freya. She's a witch not a vampire, which you'll like Bon. Remember, Stefan went to her for help with Rayna a couple years back?"

Bonnie was the one who responded since Elena had still been in the coma at the time that this all took place, "Oh yeah, that's right. I almost forgot about her."

Caroline, continuing to try and keep the subject off of her, "Well, it would be rude not to invite her."

Elena, smiling at Caroline's deflection yet again but she responded, "Yeah, that's fine with me." (Pausing again) "But that still leaves Klaus,."

Bonnie took the last sip of her second glass of wine before saying, "Oh come on, Caroline. We all know you want him there."

Caroline gulped down her second glass as well before reaching for the bottle for a refill and then responding. "Fine, but I'll send it out."

Elena, who was obviously showing some signs of a buzz, "Why? So you can write a secret message of love to him?"

Bonnie startled giggling along with Elena, because she was starting to feel the effects of the wine kicking in too.

Caroline took a large sip of wine again as she was trying to get her quiet her nerves. "No. I just think, as maid of honor, I should sent it."

Bonnie interrupted her, "Co. Co-maid of honor."

Caroline, who was slightly apologetic, "Yeah, sorry Bon."

When Elena was first deciding on her wedding plans, she had a tough time deciding which of her two best friends should be maid of honor, so they all came to a mutual agreement that both Caroline and Bonnie would share the title, as Co-Maids of Honor. However, when it came to the organization and decision-making, Caroline was the one who 'called the shots' because of obsessive need for planning. Bonnie was completely fine with that arrangement because as much as she loved weddings, she never was the best decision maker.

Elena began teasing Caroline again by adding, "Are you gonna send out the rest of the invitations too? Ms. Co-maid of honor?"

Caroline realized she backed herself into that one and replied, "Yeah, I can take care of that."

Elena decided to not push the matter further and continued, "Okay. But I'll help, I mean it is my wedding."

Caroline finished her glass of wine and smiled back at Elena, "Sounds good to me."

The women continued the planning of the guest list for the wedding for several hours, but in the back of Caroline's mind, she couldn't stop thinking about Klaus. And what exactly she wanted to write on his invitation. If anything. But her mind kept circling back to something that was a reference to their last formal occasion, where he invited her to the Mikaelson Ball. Because on the back of that invitation, he had written the words, "Save me a dance..."

Please R & R. Would love feedback. :) More chapters to come...
