2 years later, London
Life went well for Amelia, Damon and Stefan. They got along pretty well. Damon and Stefan taught her all that she needed to know about vampirism, controlling urges and feeding. Now Amelia was more in control of herself than she was 2 years ago when she first turned. She wanted to lead a life as normal as possible so the Salvatore brothers enrolled her into college. They had become one big, happy family now. Amelia even took up the name Salvatore and loved her brothers no less than they loved her.

"Oh My Gosh! I can't believe it" squealed Amelia across the living room.
"What happened? Is everything okay?" Stefan rushed by Amelia's side.
"They're throwing a ball again!" replied Amelia in a really high, squeaky voice.
"Ugh Mia! You know how extremely annoying your ultra squeaky voice is?" said Damon clutching his ears.
"I'm sorry but I'm just so excited." Replied Amelia.
"What is it, Mia?" asked Stefan.
"You know my friend Caroline" Amelia looked at her brothers. They shook their heads with recognition. She continued "Well, her boyfriend's family is holding their annual ball and we're invited."
"All right Mia, you can go. Have fun." Said Damon, clearly uninterested as he walked towards the kitchen. But Amelia was there standing in front of him in a jiffy. "Nothing doing. They've invited all of us and you both are not going to bail out like last time. It was so embarrassing." She protested.
"You know we don't like to particularly…. Socialize" Stefan justified.
"Oh come on. Please come. Just this once. I promise you won't regret it." She pleaded.
"What do you say Damon, do we give in?" asked Stefan, looking at his brother. Amelia looked at him with her puppy dog eyes.
She always gets me with those eyes. Damon thought to himself. "Fine" he sighted in defeat.

"So, who is your date?" asked Damon, walking into his sister's room as she did her hair.
"I don't know. Caroline is planning on setting me up with her boyfriend's brother." She replied.
"And how does this guy look?" Damon was getting curious.
"No idea. He just returned from Spain and I haven't met him… yet" she smiled as she said those words.
"Wait, so you mean this is like some blind date?" he started getting the elderly brother attitude.
"Yup. But don't worry. He has to be good looking. I mean his brother is hot and so should he." she said a matter-of-factly. "How do I look?"
She looked stunning. He knew that as soon as they walked in that ball, men would be straining their necks to have a glance of her. She would be every man's centre of attraction. And that's where he and Stefan would step in. Elder brother protection mode- activated. He thought to himself.

"Mia!" squealed Caroline as she ran up to Amelia and hugged her. "Damn, you look pretty." She smiled.
"Thanks! Not to mention you look beautiful too." She grinned at her friend. "Oh, Caroline, I would like you to meet my brothers" she stepped aside so Caroline could have a good look at the two men behind her. "Damon and Stefan, this is Caroline. And Caroline, these are my brothers."
Caroline's mouth dropped the moment she saw the two men. They were flabbergasted too.
"Nik's there. I'll go say hi to him. Catch you guys in a minute." Said Amelia running over to Caroline's boyfriend who stood on the other corner of the room. The minute she left an awkward silence enveloped around the trio.
Caroline was the first to break the silence. "So, it's been 5 years, isn't it? She asked.
"Yeah, 5 years since we left Mystic falls." Stefan said in a low voice.
"You guys never came back. Why?" she asked, a little hurt.
"You know why Caroline. Too many bad memories. We had to get out. Not to forget that crazy, original hybrid was after us." Damon replied softly.
"We all missed you. Mystic falls changed after you both left. Tyler left. Bonnie moved with Jeremy to Chicago and they got married. Alaric left too and a year later he got engaged to Meredith. I was left all alone."
"So how did you land up here? In London?" Damon asked.
"Caroline" a voice called out her name as Amelia and "Nik" walked towards them. The smile on his face disappeared on seeing the Salvatores. He let out a low growl.
"Nik, this is my brother Damon and this is Stefan." She said gesturing towards the men standing with Caroline.
Klaus quickly composed himself and said "Pleasure to meet you both. Hope you have a wonderful evening." He held out his hands and shook it with the two men and smirked. Damon and Stefan knew that smirk too well. Klaus' smirk never meant good.

"What happened to you Care? You seem a little dazed after meeting my brothers. Anything wrong?" Amelia asked, concerned about her friend.
"They were just a bit… intense." She fumbled. Amelia didn't seem to buy it at first but soon gave up when Caroline wasn't going to say anything.
"Well, they don't know how to socialize." She chuckled. A small smile broke on Caroline's lips.
"You could say that." She chuckled. "Let me introduce you to your date." She grinned and pulled her friend through the crowds.
"Elijah" Caroline called to the man standing in front of them. He turned around and a small smile grew on his lips when he saw Caroline. As his eyes moved to meet the eyes of the girl next to her, his smile grew bigger.
She was the most beautiful girl he had met so far in the ball. Her olive skin glowed in the light. The strapless blue dress that hung tightly on her brought her curves out brilliantly. Her short dark brown hair was neatly tied up with a lock of hair falling on her face. Her eyes were piercing brown and he got absorbed in it. Her lips were luscious and adorned with pink lipstick. She was a natural beauty, he noticed, as she had not applied much makeup. Her smile captivated him. It was the most beautiful ornament she had worn. Could she be the mystery woman Caroline's been trying to set me up with?
"Elijah, this is Amelia and Amelia this is Elijah, your date." Amelia's smile grew big and she blushed a little when she heard the word date. Caroline has outdone herself this time. He thought to himself.

"So Vampire Barbie has got together with the freaky hybrid?" Damon asked his frustration evident in his words.
"Well, she didn't have anyone, Damon. Maybe he was the only one around that time." Stefan replied taking a sip of champagne.
'Yeah, just because you're alone doesn't mean you hook up with the guy who nearly ruined your life, tried to kill you and in the end became the reason why your friend preferred dying over living!" Damon blew his top.
"Now gentlemen, this is a very aristocratic party. You don't want to be acting all crude and uncivilized." Mocked Klaus in his thick British accent.
"Yeah Klaus, bet your "aristocratic" friends have no idea how crude and uncivilized you are." Stefan retorted.
"Let bygones be bygones, I'm a different man now." Klaus replied coolly.
"Oh but whatever happened to your evil hybrid-making plan?" Damon sneered at Klaus.
"You did ruin it by turning Elena into a vampire. But luck was with me, I had made quite a lot of hybrids." Klaus smiled at Damon.
"If you may excuse me gentlemen" Klaus got up as he heard the music. "I have a dance partner to tend to."
A/N: Yay! Amelia finally meets Elijah.
