Back to the future

Disclaimer: Me no owny

Thank you so much to everyone who read, alerted, favourited, followed and reviewed. I honestly didn't expect this story to get that much attention so thank you!


Damon gently pushed the fragile human girl away from him. She reluctantly let go, unable to hide her joy at seeing him. She stayed right in front of him and he was startled to see her eyes staring intensely back at him. Tears began to form, sparkling bright enough for him to see.

"What the actual hell Meg?! We were specifically told we shouldn't interfere," Beth began lecturing.

Meg seemingly did not hear her friend. Either that or was just deliberately ignoring her. It was hard to tell.

"I'm sorry, she said softly to him, it's just… I haven't seen you in so long."

"That's enough!" Beth said frantically. "Don't say anything else."

Damon and Meg were still looking at each other. Damon, with a perplexed look on his face as he was uncertain of the truth of her statement, however the feelings that he felt looking into her eyes were indescribable. Those were his eyes. Stefan and Caroline shared a incredulous glance unable to believe what they were seeing. He reached out to touch her face.

"For the final time, lets go before..." Beth continued her rant slowly running out of steam.

"So have we decided anything?"

Bonnie bounced back to the table energised by the thought of the delicious meal she was about to enjoy. God help anyone who dare steal any of her fries. Damon dropped his hand as soon as her heard Bonnie's voice. It was as though her voice reminded him of who, where and what he was. He wasn't the sort to believe everything he heard and take it at face value. No, he was Damon Salvatore goddamnit and he wasn't going to be taken for a fool. He almost believed the silly little girl who was either completely delusional or trying to trick them all. He needed to find out what she wanted so he could get rid of her and focus on Elena.

"Who are they?" Bonnie said absently barely glancing at Meg or Beth. She was too excited for her food to come.

"worse" Beth finished. She instantly drew her palm up and over her face and huffed out a noise of annoyance.

Everyone looked back and forth between Bonnie and what was most obviously her daughter or at least a extremely close relative. Meg had the same heart shape to her face, same cupid bow lips, same petite frame even the hair was similar. Although the colour of Meg's hair was jet black instead of Bonnie's chocolate brown. She looked so much like Bonnie it was hard to think of why any of them hadn't realised it sooner. It took them standing in similar proximity for them to see the obvious truth.

"What's every one staring at?"

"Ok this wasn't my idea" Beth began

"Hi, Mom" Meg said sheepishly. She at least had the decency to blush. Red-faced and And she lowered the spell used for disguising what they were. She was going to be in so much trouble when she got home.

Bonnie sensed the change and froze, recognising one of the girls as a part of the Bennett family. She slowly turned towards Meg until they were standing face to face. All hell broke loose.


Beth knew they shouldn't have gone out today. She had a feeling deep down. But being cooped up in a small hotel room for a month while they ensured that everything went according to plan was hard. Especially with Meg. Beth loved her dearly but boy did she get irritating. She gave into her pleas and huge puppy dog eyes of doing something fun and spontaneous. And now look what's it's gotten her. If they even made it out of her alive, she could just hear her mother and father.

"You're older. You're supposed to be the responsible one,"

Did they even realise what a nightmare it was keeping Meg reigned in? She's have better luck wrestling an alligator. At least the alligator wouldn't be snapping sarcastic remarks every five seconds. Needless to say she blamed Meg for everything that was currently occurring. But strangely enough no matter how much danger Meg put them in, at least it was always something exciting and new. Not that she would admit that to her.

They all began to speak at once.

"What do you want?!" demanded Damon

"Seriously?" squealed Caroline.

"We're gonna die. They are going to kill us, bring our bodies back from the dead and kill us again."

Beth's insane rambling made Stefan chuckle slightly.

"Huh?"

Bonnie inarticulation seemed to be an sign that she needed to sit down. Urgently. Seeing her obvious distress Damon put his hand out to steady her but was intercepted by a scowling Meg.

"I got her," she said, glaring at Damon.

Damon was taken aback. One, it was unsettling seeing his own glare reflected back at him. Two, this crazy girl who had his piercing stare, had just been so happy to see him and now she was hissing at him like a snake poised to strike. What the just hell happened? Women, he thought as he rolled his eyes. He allowed Meg to take Bonnie but his eyes were sharply taking in all of her movements. If she made one wrong move, he would put an end to her. Simple as that.

Stefan was the only one who remained remotely silent and just watched as this scene unfolded before him. His arms armed crossed and his face pensive with only the beginnings of worry lines.

As Meg led her supposed mother down to sit. She began to calmingly stroke the top of Bonnie's head immediately relaxing her. Bonnie was astonished but grateful. Few people knew that was her favourite calming technique. Everyone was expecting Bonnie to flip her lid. She wasn't. At least not at the moment. Sure she obviously must have become temporarily insane to even let Damon put his gross womanizing and gruesomely killing hands on her, she reasoned to herself but she was willing to let that slide. At least for the moment. At any rate Bonnie was beginning to believe her. Meg? Was it? It was strange for Bonnie to feel this connection to some one she barely knew. Sure, she had felt it before with Lucy but this was different. Stronger.

Bonnie accidentally brushed up against Beth as she sat down and instantly the nauseating feeling of death struck her. She gasped and recoiled.

"Vampire," she whispered, still in shock.

Caroline immediately pushed Meg and Beth away from Bonnie and instinctively bared her teeth. Both girls looked shocked for a moment and then got into defensive stances. Meg raised her hands as Beth's fangs popped out. Damon cursed in his head. He knew he shouldn't have let his guard down. Using his vampire speed he moved beside Caroline and they crouched protectively in front of Bonnie.

"Ok everybody calm down," Stefan finally spoke.

"We should go, in case we attract unwanted attention."

He gestured to all the humans around the room.

"Let's take this to a more convenient location, shall we?"

The vampires quickly put their fangs away. Luckily no one else at the Grille seemed to notice the vampiric tricks. They were all too involved with their own mundane activities. All the supernatural creatures nodded, agreeing with Stefan.

"Ladies first," Damon suggesting mockingly and swept his arm grandly to the side.

"So you can stab us in the back? No thanks." Meg cooly replied.

Damon's smirk disappeared and Bonnie had to hide a smile of her own. Meg and Beth sure seemed to know of Damon's tricks.

"Let's agree, no attacking anyone until we get to the bottom of this. Deal?" He said looking especially hard at Meg and Damon who he could already tell were the most volatile.

"Fine," said Meg.

"Fine," Damon snapped.

Beth and Stefan simultaneously rolled their eyes and Beth folded her arms. Seeing that Meg shook her head at Beth who quickly unfolded her arms before walking out of the Grille. The others cautiously followed.

"So, boardinghouse then?" Meg casually suggested.

Damon didn't like this girl referring to his house as if she knew it. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"We'll meet you there" Stefan replied placing a warning hand on Damon's shoulder.

The girls nodded and went over to two motorbikes. Flipping her hair over her shoulder Meg blew a kiss to Damon knowing it would annoy him before speeding away.

"Well like father, like supposed daughter," Caroline quipped.

Bonnie still looked a little dazed. Whatever these girls were after, she was sure it was going to be one hell of an adventure.


Caroline was equally filled with both excitement and trepidation. This was the absolute perfect thing to distract from her current situation. That is, if the girls were telling the truth. There was a tiny possibility they were lying. If they were, she and Bonnie could just leave, while Stefan and Damon dealt with them. But if they were telling the truth, that was another matter entirely. She had always wanted to know about herself in the future. Did Tyler ever come back? Did they eventually kill Klaus? Were she and Tyler married? Did they also have children? Meg did look like a mix of Bonnie and Damon, she reasoned so it was entirely possible she was their child, and the other girl, Beth kinda looked like…

"Let's get this over with," Damon voice interrupted her thoughts.

They had arrived at the boardinghouse. Well at any rate Caroline couldn't wait to get the truth out of them and neither apparently could Damon.


Meg and Beth had arrived a few minutes earlier and were chilling at the entrance of the Salvatore mansion.

"This is so weird"

"I know, it feels different" Meg replied

"Like we're not supposed to go inside or something. Why are we here again?" Beth asked

Sometimes she just got so caught up in Meg's dramatics that it was hard to think of why she was actually doing the things she was doing.

"Don't you want to see what they were like?,"

"No"

Meg looked at her and raised her eyebrows

"Fine," Beth admitted.

"But we're only staying for a little bit, ok?"

Meg nodded innocently.

"I know that look. What are you planning?"

"Nothing I just…"

"You do have it don't you?" her tone rising.

Beth began to panic. Her mind screaming I told you so. Dammit. When was she going to learn?

"Well you see that's the thing…"

Beth's eyes desperately searched Meg's hand for the very precious ring they were supposed to use to get back to their own time. It wasn't there.

"You LOST IT?!" Beth exploded.

"Oops?" Meg offered with a weak smile.


Also thanks to everyone who suggested fics for me to read. Is it vaguely sad and/or pathetic that I've already read them all? Lol

Although I did spent Sunday in my onesie pjs reading this great Bamon fic by IronyRocks called Second Verse, Same as the First and exploring the tumblr Bamon tag. It made me succumb to the awesomness that is Bamon. So I ship it now. Kinda against my will. XD I have a strange addiction to fanfiction.

Review if you want!
