A/N this is the last part enjoy

Caroline prepared for her graduation ceremony. She was going with Bonnie and Elena. She took one last look in the mirror wearing her cap and gown. She walked downstairs and saw her mother smiling with happiness.

"Oh Caroline you look beautiful" Liz walked over to her daughter and fixed up the back of her gown

"Thanks mom" Caroline smiled

"I remember your first day of high school, wow time sure does fly, look at you now graduating I couldn't be happier. Here let me take a photo" Liz grabbed her camera and snapped a few shot of her daughter. A knock on the door startled them when she saw Elena and Bonnie standing there. She smiled back at her friends who had grins spreading to the side of their ears. They had come a long way especially their senior year. Katherine had come and terrorized mystic falls then Klaus and his family. A lot more stuff happened with Silas looking for the cure but Bonnie had managed to close the veil and destroyed Silas. Mystic falls was safe again, for now but all they had to worry about was graduation.

"Oh you girls grew up so fast; I can't believe you'll be leaving for college soon. I'm so proud of all of you" Liz took more snaps of the girls. After they finished she drove them to school. They met the others in their class.

"Caroline" Matt called out.

"Hey, you are here"

"Yeah, we did it, finally, hey Elena, hey Bonnie"

"Hey Matt" Bonnie and Elena replied.

"I can't believe we did it guys" Caroline squealed. "Out of everything that happened we managed to come out on top"

All the students gathered around the stage and the ceremony began. The principal gave a speech and the students clapped afterwards. Caroline was the valedictorian for their class and she gave her speech. From the podium she noticed Klaus sitting in the crowd among the parents. He looked happy and was all smiles when Caroline was giving her speech. Caroline finished and all the students clapped and they were handed their high school certificates. The ceremony finished and the students dispersed.

"Hello Caroline" Klaus spoke from behind

"Hey you came"

"I told you I would come, that was a wonderful speech you gave up there. Congratulations Caroline" he smiled.

"Thank you, I did it" she squealed again. Klaus had never seen Caroline this happy. "So I guess this is goodbye" she calmed down and her smile vanished

"It doesn't have to be"

"What do you mean?"

"You could always come with me Caroline, you want to see the world I could show you all the magnificent places on this planet, come with me"

"I would love to but I have to go to college and I don't think my mom would allow me"

"That's a shame I would have loved to show you around, anyway let's not spoil the night with boring talk. I think Rebekah is hosting a leaver's party at my house you can go if you want to"

"And you are actually letting her"

"Rebekah is one tough nut to crack when she wants something she will annoy the living dead out of you" Caroline chuckled

"Let's go then but first I better tell my mom"

"I'll be in the car park" Klaus walked away and Caroline walked off in the opposite direction.

"Hey mom I'm going to the leaver's party at Rebekah's I'll see you home tonight"

"Take care of yourself Caroline"

"Alright see you." Caroline walked off towards the car park where Klaus was waiting. This was the last time she was going to spend with Klaus. They had spent an amazing afternoon together and now they were going to spend the night together. Well part of the might. She felt happy though.

"Are you ready?" Klaus asked as she approached him.

"Yeah let's go" they got in the car and drove off "I should have known a Rebekah party would be fancy obviously"

"This is nothing compared to what she can actually do"

"When did she get time to do all this?"

"She compelled a number of people after we left and she wasn't attending the graduation so they had enough time"

"It's amazing" the ball room was already full with drunk and semi drunk people, most of them still had their caps and gowns on. Another bunch was gathering to take a photo.

"Caroline come take a photo with us" a blonde girl called out from the bunch. Caroline walked over and joined them. More students kept joining in the photo and soon it was everyone with Klaus taking the photos. After a hundred snaps the students dispersed and went back to dancing and drinking.

"Are you enjoying yourself?"

"I have never been to a graduation or an after party so I don't know what to expect but I'm coping"

"You mean to tell me you've never been to a graduation, what have you been doing all this time?"

"I attended college just out of curiosity but I never stuck around for graduation"

"You don't know what you've missed" Caroline chuckled.

Caroline spent majority of the night talking to Klaus. She left him a couple of times to talk to her other friends and take more photos with then. Just after midnight she got a lift home from Klaus.

"Goodbye Klaus and thank you for today"

"You are welcome Caroline, thanks for making today and memorable day. Perhaps one day we'll meet again."

Caroline noticed a gleam of sadness flash of Klaus' features. He was trying his best to mask it but Caroline could see right through the façade of bravery he was putting on.

They stood still in a comfortable silence staring deep into each other's eyes. Caroline broke the silence, "Have fun in New Orleans" she hugged him and he hugged her back tightly. Klaus moved his head back and crashed his lips onto Caroline's. Caroline was surprised at first but she returned the kiss. It started off slow and passionate then turned into something hungry. Klaus broke off the kiss and say his last goodbye and drove off.

Caroline was left standing there alone confused at what had just happened. She unlocked the door and walked in. she saw her mom in the kitchen.

"Sounds like you two had fun today"

"You know" Caroline stated

"That you spent the day with him, yes I do and also that he asked you to travel around the world with him"

"Yeah" Caroline chuckled, "Crazy isn't it?"

"No it's quite the offer, I want you to know that you are free to go wherever you want with whoever you want, don't let me stop you"

"What about college mom?"

"Caroline you are a vampire, I hardly think that college is that important anymore but if it's that important you can always take a gap year or two then come back"

"So you wouldn't mind if I left with Klaus" Caroline wasn't sure of what to make of this.

"If that is what you want, I see the way you are when you are around him, he makes you happy and you make him happy that's all that matters"

"What about you mom, what will you do?"

"I'll stay here and protect mystic falls like I try to do"

"Thank you mom" Caroline hugged her mom tightly. She was happy that her mum had allowed her to go with Klaus. She had to tell Bonnie and Elena. And eventually she would have to tell Klaus. Caroline headed up to her room and called Elena.

"Hello"

"Elena, can you talk?"

"Yeah what's up Caroline?"

"Is Bonnie with you?"

"Yeah she is, are you okay?"

"Yeah I am put your phone on speaker… I'm leaving town with Klaus tomorrow morning"

Caroline's message was met with grumbles.

"Why would you do that?"

"Because he offered to show me around the world and you know how much I've always wanted to travel the world, the opportunity is calling and I have decided to take it"

It took a while to convince her friends that they had to come to make sure she wasn't possessed or anything. The girls all sat on Caroline's bed.

"So you are leaving" Bonnie asked

"I haven't told him that I'm going with him"

"What?" Elena freaked

"He asked me after the graduation ceremony and I said no mainly because I thought my mum would not allow me but she said it was okay"

"So this is goodbye" Bonnie said

"Well I'll come back to visit, we'll talk on Skype everyday"

"Promise" Elena held out her pinkie.

The girls said their goodbyes and they left. Caroline spent the night talking to her mum reminiscing memories. A few tears were shed but by morning they had said enough goodbyes to last a lifetime. Caroline took a shower then left for the Mikaelson mansion. She knocked lightly on the door. Klaus opened and was surprised to see her early.

"Caroline to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Does your offer still stand?"

"What offer?"

"To tour the world with you"

Klaus smiled, "Yes, I take it you had a change of heart"

"Yeah something like that, so where are we going first?"

"New Orleans" Klaus smiled.
