Old New Friend

Rebekah had changed, in minutes. God, did these originals like to change emotions quickly. One second, she was looking Elena up and down as if she was either about to kill her or test her. And then the next, she was offering to do her hair for the date. Elena, feeling a little pressured, invited Rebekah and Matt to join them. She didn't want to be by herself tonight, and Matt agreed to go. Rebekah seemed to be thanking Elena for something. "Do you get lonely?" Elena asked, and Rebekah paused for a second.

"Sometimes" She smiled grimly, "Being dead for a good bit does make you lonely" Rebekah was wearing a pretty emerald green dress with crystals going on the ruffles. Only she could pull that off. Elena was wearing something out of Rebekah's closet. A white short dress, with a normal sleeveless heart shaped top and an off-white crochet looking bottom. Elena loved it because of how simple it was.

"I'm sorry" She said, not facing Rebekah because she was scared Rebekah was accidentally burn her neck with the curling iron. "I didn't know how good of a person you could be"

"I don't think we ever gave each other a chance" Rebekah smiled a little "Hello, my name is Rebekah."

"My names Elena" They shook hands awkwardly because Elena had to put her hand behind her head. They laughed together, close to tears. Elena thought of how all this could have been avoided if they had come to a friendship earlier. "Oh this is my favorite song! Can you turn it up?"

"Sure" She turned it up as loud as it could go, and there was suddenly loud banging against the door. It was one of Klaus's witches that seemed to randomly appear. "Ah, Aggie...What an annoying creature" Rebekah snorted "Too old to have any good taste"

"How did you adapt?" Elena asked, as Rebekah curled the last stripp of hair, "Times have changed a lot!"

"Isn't this age about flaunting what you have, and becoming sluts?" Rebekah wasn't being serious "It was easy, act like a bitch get more friends."

"True" Elena shrugged, and started singing along to the song. "Be the devil and angel too, Got a heart and soul and body, Let's see what this love can do, Baby I'm perfect for you"

The door bursted off the hinges "Girls, don't you think the music is a little too loud?" Klaus called, humored by them.

"Get out!" Rebekah screamed, "It's supposed to be a surprise Nik!" She pushed him out with a little too much force. He was looking at Elena, smiling at her.

Elena turned away and blushed, "He's a fool"

"He's smitten" Rebekah teased, "Don't break my brother's heart Elena"

"I won't" When it came down to who was the better choice, it would always be Stefan. Stefan loved Elena, his love was pure. But Damon would protect Elena, and try not to hurt her. His love was strong and certain and nothing could influence otherwise. His love was two sided, one that is pure and real and one that is honest. But Klaus, Klaus was different. He was smart, he was funny, he was like Damon but he could do more and he was easy to talk to and didn't try to control her.

Klaus knew what family meant, he knew how important it was. Whereas Stefan and Damon were just coming back to family.

The pros and cons list were pending, but depending on how this date went tonight... Her love interest could change completely. Her life could become what it used to be. No war.

Klaus:

Matt shook his head, "I didn't know they liked their music that loud" Klaus was laid back in a comfortable chair, one leg on his knee looking upstairs. He could barely contain himself, he had caught a glimpse of Elena. She looked beautiful, beyond beautiful. She looked like an angel that he didn't deserve. Yet, he was not the noble type to let her go if he loved her. He didn't even know if he loved her.

"The music stopped, looks like we can finally go" Klaus laughed at Matt's words. He was sweating a little, nervous even. Rebekah made Matt nervous. He rubbed his hands together, and stood up. Matt had gone home for an hour, expecting the girls to be ready by the time he got back. Nope. They had just finished waxing each others legs, not even in the shower yet.

Klaus had listened to the conversations for awhile, their bonding. Their laughter on dresses the would never wear and the worst they had. Their first date, more Elena than Rebekah. And Rebekah asked questions about Matt and Elena asked questions about Klaus.

Like what he was like when he was a human, Rebekah corrected her saying that he was never really human. "But Klaus was a nice guy, the guy I wish my brother would be again." And then they started doing other things less serious and deep.

Aggie was at the end of the stairs, looking annoyed. "May I present" She said like she was bored with her job, Klaus heard a loud growl come from the top of the stairs, but he could not see the girls. "Miss Rebekah and Miss Elena" The girls came down like royal princesses.

"Wow" Matt said, his eyes glued to Rebekah. Klaus and Matt met them at the end of the stairs, arms extended. "You look beautiful"

"You look amazingly" Klaus whispered in her ear,"Stunning" Elena blushed and Klaus pulled her in close. "Let's go, I apologize for the restruant choice but seeing as this is a small town" He reframed from one pony town "There aren't many options"

"It'll be fine Nik" Rebekah smiled "I like the lighting in the grill"

Of course, because part of being a real girl meant that if a gentlemen was trying to be a gentlemen you talk trash about it later. But Rebekah was not the type. What Elena didn't know was that he expected to pay for all of their meals, Matt had enough money problems.

When they walked into the garage, Matt's face lit up. "Oh my god, man are these all yours?" There were multiple sports cars, to the girls surprise, a few heavy duty trucks.

Elena:

"It's your choice" Klaus told Matt, Rebekah rolled her eyes. "Don't even start Rebekah, you two have taking half the night"

"Half the night where you could have been picking out a car" Rebekah leaned against a classy car, Elena loved it. She loved how it looked so fancy and loved how it looked good against her skin. "I think Elena has already choosen for you any way"

"Love, are you sure?" Klaus smiled at her, "becuase if that's what you want- that's what you get"

"Sucker" Matt snorted getting in the backseat with Rebekah.

"I like this car" Rebekah winked at Elena, "Good choice boys"

Klaus turned to Elena "Do you want to drive?"

"Are you serious?" The car had to be crazy expensive, she walked over to the drivers side opening the door. Klaus handed her the keys to the car, "This is amazing" She held onto the steering wheel for a minute and then started the car. She put her hand on the stick shift, and Klaus put his hand over hers.

Elena was like speed racer on crack, she swerved a little. Rebekah being sadistic just laughed the whole time while Klaus was scared for everyone's life. Matt seemed to be in the same boat as him.

When they got to the Mystic Grill, Klaus said he would park the car with Matt.

Rebekah and Elena walked into the the Grill, smiling and laughing at each others jokes. Elena took a deep breath when she saw Caroline, Tyler and Bonnie sitting down at the table and Jeremy serving them. "It'll be okay" Rebekah said and they walked over to the table farthest from them. Elena was praying , 'Please don't let Jeremy serve us' But since she had almost no luck.

Jeremy was her server.

"Hey, sis...and Rebekah" Jeremy did not like Rebekah at all, "Innocent people's blood right?" He pointed to Rebekah.

"We're friends Jeremy, be nice" Elena said, angry with him that he had to be such a jerk. "We'll wait until the boys get in" Elena was ready to tell Jeremy about her and Klaus.

"Stefan and Damon?" Jeremy looked at Rebekah again "Didn't know that either of them went for barbie bitch here"

"No" Elena wouldn't even look at her brother at first, and then she stood up. Klaus was there with Matt, and Jeremy's eyes went from normal to huge. Elena kissed Klaus on the cheek, knowing Jeremy wasn't the only one watching.

"Hey, lovely" They sat down, "Can we get a sprite?" He looked at Jeremy, testing him. Making sure he didn't try anything stupid.

"Oh, she wants a sprite along with the knife in my back okay" He looked over at Caroline and the others, "Can I talk to you alone, Elena?"

"You can talk in front of my date and my friends, Jer" Elena was cooling down "I understand that this isn't what you want for me but I'm happy, I'm safe. Please, let me enjoy my night"

"Fine. But I'm not going to be the puppet." He threw his waist band down on the ground, walking off. "See you at work tomorrow Matt"

They got another server, and nicer one. They spent the night talking and laughing, Elena snuck glances at Caroline who looked more betrayed than ever. "Are you okay?" Klaus whispered against her skin as he kissed her neck.

"I'm fine" Elena said, returning back to the small talk. Rebekah and Matt laughed easily, and found themselves just looking at each other a few times. "Klaus, would you walk me home?"

"Anything for you, love" He helped her up, and then started walking out of the Grill. "Did you enjoy yourself?"

"I did" Elena smiled "I haven't done anything like that in months, and it feels good" Klaus just held her hand in silence as they walked. She pointed to things, and smiled at him.

"So my girl, are we going to do this again sometime?" They were standing at the top of her porch, his hands feeling up and down her face. "Hmm?" He said softly, leaning in.

"I think so" She was about to meet his lips when a voice from behind them ruined it.

"I think it's time to come inside, Elena" Jeremy said with his arms crossed. She hugged Klaus for about five minutes and then walked inside.

"Why are you with him?" Jeremy yelled as soon as they were inside, Elena turned around and looked at him. She could say hurtful things to him. She could make him feel bad about himself, and ruin their relationship but she stuck to the basics.

"Because he's not that bad!" Elena yelled back "Stay out of my relationships please, because it never matters when I tell you what to do"

"I'm scared he'll hurt you" Jeremy was giving up too easily, "I can't lose you"

"You won't"
