A/N: Here is the next chapter. I hope you guys enjoy the scene between Caroline and Tyler.

Chapter 4

Caroline woke up early on Monday morning a plan clearly formed in her head. She had spent most of the weekend with Katherine discussing everything that was going on. She had gotten so emotional when she told Katherine about Tyler. She couldn't believe he forgot everything that happened between them just because he was compelled to. Before going to bed on Sunday night Katherine had smiled and simply said, "Remember Caroline every compelled command has a loophole." Caroline didn't immediately understand what she meant.

After Katherine had gone to bed Caroline laid awake thinking of what she had said. Suddenly it had clicked. Tyler was compelled to forget loving her five hundred years ago. He was not compelled to forget loving her now. Caroline had smiled to herself; he might have forgotten his feelings for her but the feelings still had to be there. All she had to do was remind him of that. Their love was stronger than any form of compulsion.

So Caroline took extra care with getting dressed today. She did her make-up soft and natural. She put on a pair of jeans and a white top, completing the look with a black jacket. She let her hair hang loosely down her back. Finally she slipped on her favourite boots. Smiling to herself she skipped down the stairs. Katherine was curled up on the couch drinking from a blood bag. "Wow don't you look nice today." She said in between sips. Caroline simply smiled said good bye and walked out the door.

When she got to school Caroline immediately set to work looking for Tyler. She found him and the rest of the football team hanging out near the bleachers. To her surprise she found Stefan was with them. Caroline put on her brightest sexiest smile and walked up to Stefan. "Good morning." She said cheerfully. Most of the guys standing around stopped and stared. "Hey blondie." Tyler greeted her. Caroline resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She turned and smiled at Tyler.

Stefan smirked. He had clearly caught onto her plan. He stepped forward and hugged Caroline then turned towards Tyler. "This is the fabulous miss Caroline Forbes. She's new here. Caroline this is Tyler." Caroline smiled and held out her hand. "Its nice to meet you Tyler." She said in the sweetest voice she could master. Tyler reached out and took her hand. "The pleasure is all mine."

Caroline felt electricity run through her body as their hands touched. She watched Tyler's face and she could tell he felt something too. He didn't take his eyes off her and he held onto her hand a second longer than one normally would. "This is going to be easy." She thought to herself but her thought were interrupted by a new female voice. "There you are sexy, I've been looking for you all over."

Caroline gritted her teeth she hadn't heard that voice in almost half a century but she recognised it instantly. Rebekah bounced up to the group in a very tight and very short dress. This time Caroline did roll her eyes. To her surprise Rebekah walked right up to Tyler and kissed him full on the lips. Caroline could feel her jaw drop. There was a sheepish look on Tyler's face as Rebekah pulled away from him.

Stefan nudged Caroline in the ribs and she quickly closed her mouth before Rebekah could see her shock. "Come one I need your help with something." Rebekah winked playfully at Tyler as she spoke then grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the group completely ignoring everyone else. Tyler shot Caroline one last look as he was being dragged away.

Caroline felt completely deflated as she walked away from the group heading towards her first class. For a second she thought it was going to be easy to get Tyler back but she was horribly wrong. With him dating Rebekah it was going to be hard to get enough alone time with him to bring back his forgotten feelings.

Later that same day Caroline was sitting in the cafeteria. She had a tray full of food in front of her but the last thing she felt like doing was eating. She was pushing around the food on her plate when Megan walked up to her. Caroline hadn't spoken to her since her first day of school. "Hey, can I join you?" Megan's voice was soft and careful. "Sure." Caroline replied looking up. "I've been meaning to talk to you."

Megan sat down across from Caroline and waited for her to speak. "I'm sorry about what happened on my first day. It was all just a little overwhelming." Caroline wasn't sure what else to say but to her surprise Megan smiled. "Stefan told me about Katherine and Elena. It must have been weird for you. Seeing a girl that resembled both your dead best friend and the vampire that killed you." Caroline gasped feeling shock and confused for what seemed like the millionth time in a few days.

"You know?" Caroline asked her voice barely more than a whisper. "Of course I know." Megan looked at Caroline and smiled again. "Stefan filled me in on everything not long after he came into town. He figured it was the best way for me to stay safe." As if on cue Stefan walked up and sat down next to Caroline. He had barely taken his seat when Caroline punched him with all her strength. "What the hell?!" Stefan exclaimed in surprise.

"You could have told me she knew." Caroline snapped her eyes spitting fire at him. Stefan laughed. "Yeah I could have. I thought this would be more fun." He said rubbing his arm. "Although I didn't think I would end up bruised." Megan giggled. "That was my favourite part." Stefan shot her a hurt look and Caroline couldn't help smiling. She was taken aback by the fact that Stefan had shared everything with Megan but maybe he had learned from past mistakes.

Caroline smiled as she looked from Megan's smiling face to Stefan's slightly sulking one, he was till rubbing his arm. She was slightly pleased with herself. Clearly the punch had hurt. The bell rang signalling that they had to get back to class. "Come over to my place after school." Caroline said to Megan. "There is someone you should meet." Megan agreed even though Stefan didn't look to happy about it. Caroline waved good bye to them and headed to class.
