Chapter 3

Previously…

It had only been two hours and twenty minutes; they had a long way to go.

Xoxo

After destroying one of Damon's favorite pairs of shoes Stefan went over to the front door and began to whimper and scratch at it.

"Oh what is it now Stefan!" Damon groaned, "What could you possibly want now?"

Dick

Elena hurried into the hallway, "Stefan do you have to use the bathroom?"

Yes. He barked.

Elena smiled and opened the door and Stefan darted out the door. The young brunette then turned towards the elder Salvatore, "See without me around you'd have to bleach the carpet.

Xoxo

Once he finished he hurried back to the door, where Elena was waiting. He then tugged at her sleeve and she followed him into the yard. Stefan picked up a stick and brought it to her.

She laughed, "Fetch Stefan? Really?"

I'm bored. C'mon it'll be fun. He barked, wagging his tail.

"Okay!" Elena laughed and took the stick and she threw it across the yard.

Xoxo

From different sides of the house Bonnie and Damon watched as Elena continuously threw the stick and Stefan continuously returned it to her. Stefan then eventually grew tired and sat down on the grass.

"That was fun." Elena said.

It actually really was. Anything is fun with you, love. Stefan licked her face as she sat down next to him.

The two headed back into the house where Elena got Stefan a bowl of water and some food.

As the sun was setting Stefan scratched on the door again and Elena let him out.

"Not worried he'll run off?" Damon asked, smirking.

Elena ignored him.

Xoxo

Several minutes later Stefan returned, but not alone. In his teeth he clutched something small and furry.

"Stefan…. what's in you're mouth?" Elena asked hesitantly as Stefan trotted right past her and to the den, where Damon was. Damon, who was lounging on the couch, scotch in hand watched as his little brother drop a dead squirrel at his feet.

"Uhm…any particular reason you brought me a dead woodland creature? Remember I'm not on an animal diet."

It's a present, you seem mad. I can't make it any clearer than that. Sorry about the shoes.

Too a confused Elena, Damon, and Bonnie Stefan was just barking.

"Maybe it's a present." Bonnie suggested.

"Why?" Damon asked.

"For ruining your shoes!" Elena chimed in.

Stefan barked loudly, in agreement.

"How thoughtful, brother." Damon grimaced, "Thanks I guess."

The sun had set and day one was over. Two more days and she would have her vampire boyfriend back, completely normal, well hopefully.
