A/N: Okay, so we are on the fourth day of Christmas now. And in Mystic Falls today, everyone is going to be together, watching a Christmas movie! I did that last night, so that's what came as an idea for this chapter today. I hope you guys like the chapter and, yes, Tyler is going to be in the chapter ;) xoxo, Avril


Chapter Four: Elf

Damon woke up with a sudden start and saw Elena standing over him, watching him sleep, he almost forgot that he fell asleep on the couch in the living room.

"Bad dream?" Elena asked and sat down next to Damon once he sat up

"You could say that" Damon yawned

"Were you visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future?" Elena asked with a smirk

"Ha, ha, very funny" Damon said and rolled his eyes at her "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Nice to see you too" Elena said sarcastically and took out her cell phone and pulled up a text message from Caroline "Caroline" Elena said and handed the phone to Damon

"Of course, leave it to her to decide to throw a party at my house without my permission." Damon sighed

"Hey, Stefan owns the house too." Elena said

"Older brother. I'm in charge." Damon said

"So what? Your just gonna tell Caroline no now?" Elena asked

"Yep" Damon said

"You tell her no, I'm leaving." Elena said

"Why do you have to be so stubborn?" Damon grumbled

"Because she's my friend, it's not like she invited all of Mystic Falls. And we're just watching a movie" Elena said and took her phone away from Damon "Can you handle that?"

"I guess I have to now" Damon sighed "Who exactly did she invite?" Damon asked

"Well, me, Jeremy, Bonnie, Jenna, Tyler, and Alaric" Elena said quickly

"Wait…who was after Jenna?" Damon asked suspiciously

"…Alaric" Elena said

"Before that" Damon said

"Jenna" Elena said innocently

"Elena…" Damon said

"Okay! Caroline invited Tyler over too!" Elena sighed

"…I have to deal with a werewolf in my house?" Damon asked

"Not for a few more days Damon, he's fine right now. Just try to now piss him off" Elena sighed

"Me piss him off? He starts the arguments!" Damon said

"No Damon, you start them" Elena said "I would know, I've seen you two fight countless amounts of times"

"Whatever" Damon sighed

"Behave tonight Damon" Elena said

"I'll try" Damon said


"So, what are you touting us with tonight blonide?" Damon asked Caroline as he walked into the kitchen where she was running around

"What do you mean?" Caroline asked confused

"I mean what Christmas movie are you trying to shove down our throats?" Damon asked

"Oh, I don't know, I think Stefan picked it" Caroline said

"Great" Damon sighed "Where is he?" Damon asked

"Either upstairs, with Alaric, or hunting" Caroline said

"Gee, thanks for being so specific" Damon said and walked out of the room and he could feel Caroline glaring at him from behind, he loved to annoy her

Damon walked out into the living room and saw Elena in there looking around under the tree.

"What do you think you're doing?" Damon asked

"Nothing" Elena said quickly and walked away from the tree "Just…admiring the tree"

"Admiring, right" Damon said with a smirk "Looking for presents, are we now?"

"No!" Elena said

"You know, you're a terrible liar" Damon said

"Shut up" Elena said and rolled her eyes at him

"You know, if you really wanna know that badly…I could tell you where your present is under that tree and pretend to not be looking when you find it" Damon said with a smirk "For a price though"

"You're a pig" Elena grumbled "I don't wanna know that badly" Elena said and walked out of the room into the kitchen

"Don't say I didn't offer!" Damon yelled after her with a smile on his face "Now, where could you be little brother?" Damon said and started walking upstairs to see if Stefan was there


"You sure I can't accidentally put vervain in Damon's egg nog?" Alaric asked Stefan

"Trust me, the last thing we need is a pissed off Stefan and a way to explain to Jenna that Damon is suddenly allergic to egg nog" Stefan sighed

"You could just compel her, my permission as long as you don't do anything weird to her like…make her bark every time she hears a bell" Alaric said "Have you ever done that to someone?"

"Uh, no, I think Damon did once though, just for fun" Stefan said

"Leave it to Damon" Alaric sighed "He wouldn't do it again…would he?" Alaric asked worried

"I doubt it, but you never know" Stefan shrugged

"Alaric! Can you come and help me with this?" Jenna yelled from the kitchen

"Sure!" Alaric yelled back and got up off the couch in the living room and walked into the kitchen just as Jeremy was walking into the living room

"Hey Stefan" Jeremy said

"Hey Jeremy" Stefan said "Going to go get Bonnie?" Stefan asked

"Yep. And Tyler too" Jeremy sighed "I figured I might as well bring him over there, he lives close to Bonnie anyway" Jeremy said

"You pick out the movie?" Stefan asked

"Bonnie did" Jeremy said "She has it, she's bringing it over" Jeremy said "I'll see you there"

"Alright" Stefan said and Jeremy turned around and walked out the front door

"Alright, let's get going" Jenna said walking into the living room and Alaric right behind her carrying everything


"Okay, will someone tell me what movie we are watching?" Damon asked and sat down on the couch next to Elena and without thinking, Elena immediately snuggled up close to Damon with the blanket to keep herself warm and Damon just smiled at her and put his arm around her

"Would you stop being impatient" Bonnie hissed at him

"I just wanna know, it's not like I'm asking much" Damon said innocently

"Yes, but you've been asking for the past two hours" Bonnie sighed

"I-"

"Guys" Elena said

"Sorry" Bonnie and Damon said and the same time and stopped arguing

"I just want-"

"For crying out loud! It's Elf! Okay! Elf! The Will Ferrell Christmas movie!" Caroline snapped and everyone looked at her "What? He was getting annoying"

"No need to bite my head off" Damon said "I thought that was your boyfriends job anyway" Damon said with a smirk and almost laughed when he heard Tyler growl back at him

"Tyler, just let it go" Caroline sighed and snuggled up next to Tyler and he calmed down and put his arm around Caroline now

"Can we all just be quiet now and watch the movie?" Alaric asked

"Yes" Everyone said and the movie finally started
