A/N. Thank you guys so much for all the positive reviews. It gives me little tiny butterflies in my stomach.

I've decided to introduce more ships and characters in this chapter. I don't want to give away any more so please review. Love you guys xxxx

All eyes were on Stefan and Elena as they walked into the party. They looked at each other and Stefan reached for Elena's hand, she stared at their intertwined hands for a moment and a huge was on her face.
"Looks like we're the talk of the party." Stefan said. Elena couldn't help but stare at his lips.
Just then Katherine came up behind her.
"Hey guys…hey Stefan." Katherine checked Stefan out. Katherine had had a thing for Stefan for as long as anyone could remember even though she was dating Stefan's older brother. Elena shot Katherine the fakest smile she could put on.
"Hey Katherine." Stefan put on a smile just as fake as Elena's.
"So, are you two on a date or something?" Katherine looked at Elena up and down like she was shooting daggers at her. Elena didn't know how to answer the question. Luckily Stefan answered the question for her.
"Yes, we are actually." Stefan put his arm around Elena. "So if you'll excuse us." They walked up to Caroline, Bonnie, Matt and Tyler.
"Aww, look at the happy couple." Caroline was practically beaming with excitement. Elena was shocked when she saw Stefan blush, she had never seen him blush before. Caroline and Bonnie pulled Elena into a corner.
"So how's the date going? It's obvious you guys can't keep your hands off of each other." Bonnie said with a huge grin on her face.
"So when can we start planning the wedding?" the sad thing was that Caroline was serious.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's only our first date." Elena said that even though she had been planning her wedding since she was a little girl.
"OK, get back to your date. By the way you guys look adorable together." Bonnie said as she pushed Elena towards Stefan.
"Why don't I get us some drinks?" Elena nodded as Stefan walked towards the drinks.

"Hey you." Stefan heard Katherine's voice from behind him. He rolled his eyes and turned around.
"Katherine, what do you want?" Stefan knew he was being stern but he didn't care, he just wanted to get rid of Katherine so he could get back to Elena.
"Feisty, you know…I like feisty." Katherine stepped towards him and tugged on his shirt.
"Come on, let's go upstairs so we can…be alone."
"Katherine, I'm here with Elena."
"And I'm here with Damon. What's your point?" Katherine crept closer and Stefan didn't like it.
"My point is that I'm here with a girl that I really like and you're here with my brother." Katherine pouted.
"But I'm wearing your favorite, black lace." Katherine whispered in his ears. "They can find comfort in each other after we run off into the sunset and all the sappy romance novel crap."
"OK Katherine, I don't know how to drill this into your head, you and I are NEVER going to happen and the sooner you realize it the better." Stefan left Katherine shocked as he walked back to Elena.
"What was that all about?" Elena said as she looked back at Katherine.
"Just Katherine being Katherine. Don't worry about it." Stefan smiled at her.
"So, do you want to dance?" Stefan looked up at her.
"I'm not much of a dance."
"Come on! I love this song and I'm not taking no as an answer." Elena grabbed Stefan's hand and pulled him towards the dance floor.

Animal by Neon was blasting through the speakers as Stefan and Elena walked onto the dance floor.
"Stefan, you're not even trying. You need to move your feet."
Stefan wrapped his arms around Elena's waist and started moving his feet. He was really getting into this song. Elena liked this side of Stefan, the carefree but still romantic side.

Oh,oh, I want some more.
oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight.

Caroline was watching Stefan and Elena when Matt walked up to her.
"She said she needed to be alone when she…dumped me."
"You really need to stop moping around over her. She's obviously moved on, it's time for you to do the same."
"Ouch." Matt looked at Caroline who was regretting what she said and realized how hurtful it must've been to hear. Matt loved Elena and had been a misery ever since she dumped him. But no one ever pointed it out to spare his feelings.
"Sorry. They are a cute couple, aren't they?" Caroline hadn't taken her eyes off of Stefan and Elena.
"Caroline, you're asking me if my best friend and my ex make a cute couple?"
"Sorry, but just look at the way he looks at her. I wish someone would look at me like he looks at her." Matt stepped closer to her.
"Look Care, I know you're still not over the whole Klaus thing, but one day you will find a guy worthy of you." Caroline looked at him and gave him a hug.
"Thanks Matt. I really needed that."
"Any time."

"It's getting late. Jenna will probably want me home soon."
"OK, let's get out of here." Stefan said with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Stefan walked Elena to her front door.
"I had a lot of fun tonight. You really didn't have to walk me to my door." Secretly Elena was happy that he walked with her. Stefan grinned.
"I had too much fun tonight for it to end without saying a proper goodbye. What can I say, I'm a gentleman."
Elena smiled. "Oh, are you now?"
"Yes I am. Which is why I'm going to ask if I can kiss you Miss Gilbert." Before Elena could even comprehend what Stefan had just said she felt his lips brush against hers. He was so gentle, so caring. Elena push back harder and wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer to him. Elena felt as if she floating and he needed her to keep her on the ground. Neither of them wanted this moment to end.
Just then the door opened.
"Oh my god! Sorry! I didn't see anything!" Jeremy shouted as he covered his eyes.
Elena backed away from Stefan and they both laughed.
"Goodnight Elena." Stefan picked up Elena's hand and kissed it.
"Goodnight Stefan." Elena kissed him on the cheek and he made his way towards his car. He could faintly here Jeremy in the background.
"Elena, I'm really sorry. I heard you outside and Jenna told me to check what was taking you so long. I didn't expect to see you two making out on the front porch."
Stefan laughed as he got into his car and drove home. For the first time in a long time he felt truly happy.

A/N what did Klaus do to Caroline? What will Katherine do about Stefan Elena? Will Matt ever get over Elena? This chapter was fun to write. Please let me know what you think. xxx
