Bonnie looked at Damon's face, seeing that he was serious. She cracked a smile and busted into a sarcastic laughter.
"You want me to invite you into my house? Nice joke Damon." Bonnie trailed off. Damon tilted his head to the side and radiated off a synical smile.
"Either invite me in, or you and Spongbob will be going bye bye." In a way Bonnie was terrified and frightened at the same time. But it was Damon, she was basically the only person that could help him so she knew that he wouldn't kill her. She didn't dare try to burn or use her mind tricks on Damon. He could possibly drop her and then Bonnie would be a goner.
"I'd rather go bye bye." Bonnie said sarcastically. Damon took Bonnie by the waist and dangled her body over the three story view that lay underneath them. He firmly held her back against his stomach. In truth, Damon was definately not going to let go of Bonnie, he just wanted to shake her up a bit and have some fun with her.
"Any last words?" Damon said in an evil tone. Chills soon ran down Bonnie's spine as she glanced down at the ground and then darted her eyes to the black star-y sky. Of course she knew that Damon was playing around, but this just wasn't funny. Beads of sweat immediately broke out on her forehead. She wouldn't let Damon get the best of her. The day she would invite Damon into her house would be the day Spongebob got canceled.
She took a deep sigh, clearing her thoughts and not letting the fear of heights get to her. A small smile soon danced on Bonnie's lips.
"So..do you have any last words Bonnie? You know before you die a deathly death?" She felt a breeze of cold wind swirl through her long dark locks. She inhaled a big whiff of the cold fall air.
"I do Damon." She paused a quick minute before saying what she had to say.
"I'm ready, I'm ready!" Bonnie said doing her best imitation of Spongebob. She had no idea what so ever why she had an obsession with Spongbob, but she just did. Yeah, it was very childish for someone her age, but she couldn't let the likable yellow sponge pass her by.
Bonnie suddenly felt Damon grasp her legs and hold her where she was bridal style in his arms again. He cracked a velvet-y smile at her and in less than a second they were sitting on a very sturdy branch. He held Bonnie close to him on his lap.
"What the heck Damon?" Bonnie struggled to get out of Damon's grasp. She didn't want to be sitting on his lap, especially in a flipping tree.
"What you don't want to tell Santa what you want for christmas?" Damon said in a sing-song voice. Bonnie crossed her arms.
"Santa isn't a blood sucking vampire with psychological problems. And the last time I checked the only thing you and Santa have in common is your age."
"Ouch Bonnie your words hurt me." Damon deadpanned. He soon perked up. "Bonnie I'm just as generous as Santa, I leave presents to tons of women everyday." She couldn't see Damon's face considering the way they were sitting, but she just knew he was wiggling those eyebrows of his.
"Maybe you should switch to men." Bonnie spat sarcastically. Over the last five minutes of this, she grew tired of his game. Not to mention that she had a good ol' hardy day of school tommorow and she was betting that it was at least eleven p.m. by now. She heard a slightly amused chuckle from Damon.
"Damon, just let me go. I have school tommorow, and..and.." Bonnie took a big yawn as her eye lids grew heavy. "I'm cold, and I just want to go to bed." She could feel the sudden wave of sleepiness just taking over her body. She didn't know how it could possibly take her over in the situation that she was in. Being held by Damon Salvatore...in a tree...in the middle of the night..in her Spongebob pajamas for God's sake.
"All you have to do is invite me in, I'll even tuck you in bed." Bonnie felt Damon's cool silky hands inch up her neck. She tugged away slightly, goose bumps forming.
"Do you want me to help you? I've actually found a little something..but it won't do much. I looked in the grimiore. All it talks about is curses." Bonnie said tiredly. Another yawn found its way out of her mouth.
"If you invite me in then we can talk about these so called curses." Bonnie was getting tired of this. How many times did she have to beg for Damon to take her back to her window so she could go in her warm comfortable bed and get a good nights sleep? She heard Damon sigh as he simply scooped up Bonnie and brought her back to her window seal. Bonnie quickly jumped through the window, turning around and facing Damon.
"Damon don't pull a stunt like this again. If you do, it's going to get you know where." Damon stared at Bonnie with an amused look on his face.
"Don't worry Bon Bon I'll get in sooner or later." He said in a smooth tone.
"When pigs fly." Bonnie retorted.
She just rolled her sleepy green marbles and shut her window, locking it in the process. When she looked back up Damon was no where to be seen. Bonnie knew this was all just a game. She knew Damon had no way of really getting into her house...did he? Sure he could compel her father, but by then Bonnie would have burnt him into a crisp. Bonnie shrugged the thought off as she turned off her light and leaped into bed and under her safe warm covers. To bad she didn't know that when Damon wanted something...especially getting into Bonnie's house this bad, he was going to get what he wanted.

Elena snuggled with Stefan in his bed at the boarding house. It was about one in the morning and she still couldn't go to sleep. She didn't know what was bugging her the most-her favorite show being canceled, or that Bonnie and Damon might be having some kind of secret relationship. Either way she couldn't fall asleep. Elena tugged out of Stefan's firm grip and got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Stefan immediately asked. Elena's doe eyes shot to Stefan.
"I can't sleep..I'll be back. I'm going to get a glass of water." Stefan instantly nodded, understanding Elena's situation. He watched Elena trott out of his room. He was glad that Elena wasn't some kind of Ellie. He chuckled at that thought.
Elena slowly made her way to the Salvatore kitchen. She grabbed a glass and filled it with water. She held the glass in her hands firmly as she began pacing back and forth. She paced for about five minutes, taking little sips here and there. She was frustrated...angry maybe? She didn't know. But this was something big. She felt a quick breeze, little strands of her hair floating around her cheeks. Damon was suddenly in front of her with a nonchalant look on his beautiful features.
"Elena what are you doing down here this late...pacing?" Damon questioned suspicoulsy. He knew Elena very well. She would be at the boarding house day in and day out ever since she started dating Stefan. Elena couldn't take it any longer. She had to tell him-what she was feeling. She couldn't keep it in any longer and it was bugging her. She swiftly faced Damon and looked him in the eyes.
"Damon.." Damon didn't say anything as he let her continue. Elena sat her water down on the counter and slicked her long brown locks back.
"I can't take it any more! I found out and I can't believe I went on this long with out saying anything because it's bugging the crap out of me!" Elena then walked up to Damon fiercely and grabbed him by his shirt. Damon's heart sank. She knew? About him..getting help from Bonnie?
"Oh my God Damon! I can't believe you would do this! Why didn't you tell me they canceled my favorite t.v. show? Why did they have to cancel my favorite t.v. show?" Elena wept. Damon's eyes widened at what Elena just said. He felt relieved that Elena didn't know about him and Bonnie. But she was delusional if she was crying over a t.v. show.
"It was my favorite show! You knew it was canceled...an..and you didn't tell me?" Tears escaped her eyes. Damon backed out of Elena's grasp that she had on his shirt as he tried straightening out the rinkles.
"What's wrong with you? I've think you've seen too many t.v. shows, you're crazy." Damon said with weird eyes. He couldn't believe that he was actually freaked out by Elena. A smile appeared on his lips. Elena..was crying over a stupid t.v. show. He snickered at the thought. Elena then got in Damon's personal space, a brave tear stricken face in place. She spoke in a deep tone.
"No Damon..." She said synically. "You don't become crazy from watching t.v...oh no you don't..." She trailed off as she opened the drawer and grabbed a small knife. "Canceling t.v. shows make you crazy!" She histarically yelled. She held the knife about to strike at Damon when Stefan suddenly appeared and smacked the knife out of Damon's hand. Damon didn't have time for this. He was tired and just wanted to get him self back to sleep. He nudged past a psychological Elena and a worried Stefan.
"She sure is a keeper." Damon spat sarcastically.

Bonnie woke up the next morning surprisingly feeling well rested after everything that happened just a smidge of hours ago. She simply stretched and grabbed some clothes, taking a short shower. She straightened her long dark hair and applied a touch of black eyeliner that made her green irises pop. She slapped on a little gloss and puckered her lips as she grabbed her school books and went downstairs.
Looking into the fridge, she took a little pout. Her dad hadn't went shopping in ages and there was absolutely nothing edible unless one rotten grape in the bottom container of the refridgerator counted. She shut the door to the refridgerator lightly and grabbed her books once again. Her dad suddenly appeared the kitchen.
"Hey Bons." Her dad said brightly. Bonnie's dad was a work-a-holic. He was home some of the time, but he never spent any time with her after her mom had died when she was ten. Which considering she was now seventeen was sad if you really thought about it.
"Um hey dad..you know there's no food right?" Bonnie stated, trying to make a conversation. Bonnie watched as her dad scratched his messy bed head hair.
"I'm sorry about that. I always have something to eat before I come home and forget completely taht I have a daughter to feed.." He trailed off, guilty as charged. Bonnie started heading out of the kitchen.
"It's okay dad, I'll eat at school..I just thought I'd let you know."
"I'll go shopping. I promise the fridge will be full when you come home." Her dad said trying to brighten up the mood. Bonnie walked through the living room and opened the door. Clasping her chest she gasped.
"Damon if you do that to me one more time I swear to God that I won't hesitate to light your butt on fire." Bonnie spat. She was tired of Damon just appearing out of thin air and scaring the crap out of her every time he got. It always made her heart feel like she was doing a one eighty.
As usual Damon just stood there with a smirk on his face.
"Why Bonnie you look lovely in purple." Damon said in a velvetly tone as he followed Bonnie to her car.
"It's violet." Bonnie deadpanned as she looked down at her violet attire. Damon scoffed.
"Like it makes a difference." Bonnie opened her car door. Damon swiftly closed the car door and had her pinned. She immediately clutched onto her books.
"What are you doing?" She sighed. Damon trailed his hand down the side of her face. Goose bumps immediately went up her arms and legs.
"I'll give you one more chance to invite me in..." He trailed off as he looked at her with oceanic eyes. Bonnie gave a sarcastic smile.
"As if Damon. I would never invite you into my house. You will never get the chance to come in. Got it? We went over this a billion times. We meet at the library and that's it." Damon gave Bonnie her personal space back. He radiated off a synical smile.
"Okay Bonnie, I won't bug you again...you just get to school and I'll be at the library afterwards." Before Bonnie could ask what his deal was, he was gone in a blink of an eye. She got in her car, throwing her school books in the passenger seat and headed to school.

"So Elena picked up a knife and almost stabbed Damon over a t.v. show?" Caroline questioned, not believing a word she was hearing. Stefan raked a hand through his hair.
"I don't know what came over her. She was so upset, you can't blame her." Stefan said whilst hugging Elena as if his life depended on it.
"But Kyle XY got canceled about two years ago." Caroline stated astonished. Elena peeked up at Caroline.
"Care it just wasn't my fault...it was such a good show..and Damon never told me it got canceled. Noone did. Every night I would sit down and turn to Abc Family exactly at eight. But it...it..." Elena broke out into hysterical tears. Caroline's eyes widened as she talked slowly to Elena.
"E-lena. If you." Caroline gestured to herself. "Can understand me then I'll tell-you." Caroline pointed a finger at Elena. "That you need theropy." Elena pouted her face.
"I don't need theropy Caroline. I was just upset." The brown eyed beauty said trying to stick up for herself.
"Yeah and that's what the guy that lived down the street from me said on the news after he killed his wife and kids, and his pet turtle!" Caroline deadpanned. Stefan stopped hugging Elena and looked her in the eyes.
"Maybe Caroline's right...you should go see the guidance counselor." Stefan suggested with a small smile. Elena looked from the two vampires and sighed. She couldn't believe that they suggested that she go to counseling. If it was one thing, she thought that Damon and Bonnie should go to counseling for sneaking around in the library. But she wouldn't bring it up-them up because Caroline, her and Stefan already agreed that they wouldn't discuss Damon and Bonnie unless they caught them in the act or they confessed.
"Fine. I'll go." Elena pouted. Elena soon perked up a little.
"Hey where's Bonnie? Did anyone talk to her this morning?" Elena asked suspicously. Caroline turned her head to the side as if she were thinking.
"Actually I havn't. Have you Stefan?" The blond questioned.
"Nope havn't seen her. Maybe she's running late or something." They all shrugged in union as the bell sounded off for another boring day of school.

Bonnie sat in her car. She parked it out of sight from her three friends that she saw chatting near the school entrance. Elena looked like she was crying on rampage while Caroline was talking to her. Bonnie didn't dare get out of the car. She felt a weak spot for her friend deep down, but it looked like Caroline had it taken care of. Bonnie couldn't risk being talked to by any of them right now. She just wanted to avoid them as much as possible or she would have to lie.
Bonnie really didn't like lying so she thought avoiding them would help her along the way. Of course she would probably have to sit with them at lunch just to make it seem like she wasn't up to anything, but that she could handle.

The three of them glanced-no eyeballed Bonnie down as if she were an alien. The lunch was pretty silent, everyone saying an ocasional 'what's up' and 'how was your day so fars.' Caroline was the first one to speak.
"So...Bonnie..." The blond's blue marbles instantly shot to Bonnie's green eyes. "Let's hang out after school today...unless you have something to do..." She clicked the roof of her mouth. Bonnie heard a faint whisper.
"Caroline! Shut up." Stefan whispered. Stefan was talking so low that only a vampire could pick up on it, hence Caroline. To Bonnie all she heard was the wind blowing through the trees. The blond's blue irises quickly shot to Stefan's and then back to Bonnie's.
"Actually I do have something to do today." Bonnie stated blandly. Sorry, maybe some other time." Bonnie then stuffed a combo in her mouth and chewed silently.
"Why not?" Caroline narrowed her eyes as. "She wanted to push the truth out of Bonnie, but she just wasn't budging.
"Caroline shut up!" Stefan whispered once again to Caroline. The female vampire didn't even make contact with Stefan this time. She wanted for Bonnie to tell the truth. All she had to do was push her buttons a little more and she would crack.
"I have to study..." Bonnie trailed off, trying not to look any of them in the face.
"Oh." Was all Caroline retorted. She wanted to push Bonnie into telling the truth, but she didn't want to be the bad guy. That was Elena's role in ruiening everyone's lives. Stefan piped up as he switched to a different subject. Bonnie was relieved.
"We encouraged Elena to go to counceling..." Stefan trailed of uneasily.
"What? Why?" Bonnie questioned concerningly. Stefan scratched his head and then looked Bonnie straight in her green orbs.
"Well...Elena had Damon at knife point last night." Bonnie's eyes widened. Did they find out about me helping Damon? She thought mentally. Bonnie tried to play it off casually.
"I'm sure it was for a good reason..Damon always goes off and gets carried away until he gets what he wants." Bonnie said nonchalantly.
"Actually...it wasn't for a good reason. Elena was really upset about her t.v. show getting canceled and she took it out on Damon." A chuckle forced its way out of Bonnie's throat.
"Really? You did that to Damon because your show got canceled?" Bonnie swallowed the chuckles and looked Elena seriously in the face this time.
"Yeah..Bonnie I did. But no one even told me that Kyle XY got canceled and it was my favorite show." The brunetted stated. Her face was serious, which in a way freaked Bonnie out. Elena has definately went off the deep end. Bonnie thought mentally.
"Kyle XY got canceled a while back." She heard Elena sigh. "So...how did Damon react to your craziness?" Bonnie didn't want to bring Damon up, but she was trying to fit in and keep it on the down low.
"Oh he just called me crazy..but on the bright side he did say that I was a keeper." Elena showed off a twenty watt smile. Bonnie's right brow shot up. Was it just her or did it seem like Elena liked that Damon called her a keeper? Bonnie scoffed as she shoved a piece of lettuce in her mouth and chewed.
"Damon just messes around with people and then shoves them to the side like their a piece of garbage."
"He can mess with me and shove me in the garbage!" Caroline said eagerly. Everyone around the table gave her weird glances. Caroline pipped down and stared at her food tray.
"Oookay? Well I have to go. My counseling is in a couple of hours." Elena got up from the table and kissed Stefan on the cheek. "Bye Bons, bye Care." She waved gracefully and then walked off in the distance and back into the school. Stefan stretched and then to go up.
"I have to run to. See you guys later." It was just Bonnie and Caroline now. Caroline pulled out her cell phone, apparently recieving a text. She shrieked.
"What what is it Care?" Bonnie asked, really wanted to know why she was shrieking. She pushed her blond curls over her shoulder, blue eyes looking directly into Bonnie's.
"Stefan just texted me and told me that the librarian called and said they have my book!" She waved her cell phone and started dancing like crazy. Bonnie pulled Caroline back down into her seat.
"Haha calm down Caroline. What's the book called?" Caroline grined from ear to ear.
"It's called The Vampire Diaries. Caroline had said enough. Just the other day she had remembered Damon coming to her and moaning about how they wouldn't stop talking about it.
"Oh sounds cool." Was all Bonnie could retort. Caroline pouted her glossed lips.
"Don't you want to know what it's about? Because there's this character in the book who's a hot sexy vampire. He also has a brother, Steven with nice brown eyes and almost just as cute..but he's nice and acts human to fit in. But he's not as hot and sexy as Danny. He has blue eyes..." The blond picked up a spoon and started twirling it in her fingers. "Brown hair..." It was strange how her voice started to get a little deep and rather seductive. "Nice chiseled features...he's a little bit homicidal, but the way the book talks about him it seems like he has a nice-" Bonnie cut her off as she quickly grabbed her things and left the lunch table.
"It's okay Care, we'll talk about this tommorow." The witch shouted behind her. She ran off because realization started to get to her. Had Caroline been describing Damon? 'Blue eyes, brown hair, chiseled features?' And Stefan? with the whole 'brown eyes and he acts as if he were human to fit it?' What kind of crap is Caroline reading? She must be on crack if she's going to sit there and describe Damon and Stefan that she 'supposeably' said is written in a book called The Vampire Diaries. Even their names were similar. Bonnie sighed to herself and chuckled. It was just a stupid book.

Stefan stood inside the hall way of the school. There was still a good ten minutes left before lunch was over. He didn't know why he left Bonnie and Caroline at lunch, but he just felt awkward sitting there and knowing that Bonnie was doing something with his brother. Stefan slanted on his locker. He suddenly felt for his cell phone in his pocket. He looked at the caller I.D. seeing that it was from the public library.
"Umm hello?" Stefan asked politely.
"Hello? Yes is this Stefan Salvatore? Your book came in today." The old librarian quivered. "You can come and pick it up whenever you like."
"Okay thank you very much."
"Wait.." The librarian trailed. Stefan waited for her to continue.
"I also have some other books here for you that I thought you would like. There's some pudding recipes and a book on how to make your own bra." Stefan sighed lightly. This was something he was trying to avoid.
"Thank you, but I really don't need the other books." He heard the old lady cackle.
"Nonsense Stefan. I know young men like you." She lowered her voice. "You know the gay kind."
"Mrs. Finkle I can asure you that I'm not gay. I'm straight. In fact I have a girl friend." She gave a slight chuckle on the other end of the line.
"Oh Stefan. You can't fool me. Why back in my day there were boys just like you. All hot looking, great style, hair...that has the word gay written all over it."
"Mrs. Finkle, I really don't want to continue this conversation if you don't mind.." Stefan stated, starting to feel really uncomfortable.
"Let me finish and respect your elders." The librarian stated firmly. Stefan didn't make another peep as he let the librarian continue.
"I'd thought you'd enjoyed these books I picked out. Why about sixty years ago all the gay guys were getting bras and stuffing them like turkeys on thanksgiving. Of course I don't really know what they were stuffing theirs with..." She paused taking a minute to think. "I know it wasn't pudding, I think it had something to do with water balloons. But either way I'd thought you'd enjoy these books." There was a big silence. Stefan forgot to almost speak after what he was hearing.
"Oh I'm sorry, yeah I will most definately enjoy the books." Stefan said lying straight through his teeth. Why would he enjoy books on making bras and pudding flavors? Although he did enjoy pudding on rare occasions...but that wasn't the point.
"Okay I'm glad you liked them sweety. Bye bye now."
"Wait! Mrs. Finkle have you met my brother Damon Salvatore?"
"Hmmm I don't think I recall.." She sounded like she was pondering. Mrs. Finkle indeed did meet Damon, she just didn't remember.
"Like I said he's my brother of mine and he just looves making pot holders and sock puppets. Could you get some books on those? And maybe some books on dating guys?" If Damon compeled the librarian to think that Stefan oh so enjoyed wearing bras filled with pudding, then Stefan was going to fight fire with fire. And the worst part of Damon's little prank was that now the librarian thought he was gay.
"No problem deary. It's all in the pot holder and sock puppet hand book. Oh and the other book..." Mrs. Finkle replied rather seductively. "You mean the book How to get a guy in thirty days: Strictly for men." Stefan stuttered.
"Umm sure that book. Thanks again Mrs. Finkle." Stefan heard her hang up on the other line. He swiftly shut his cell phone and quickly texted Caroline that her book was in. Atleast one of them would be happy.
A/N: And what did you guys think? Please review? :)
