07: Let It Snow

"It doesn't show signs of stopping

And I've got some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!"

Damon was peacefully asleep. A rare thing these days, with a psychotic brother and freaky hybrids running around. Sleeping was a good thing, so he could be in his Elena-land without disturbances.

"Damon, wake up!" A woman's voice suddenly said and someone started to shake him. He slowly opened his eyes. "Rebekah?"He asked and yawned. "Please get up." She begged.

Damon scratched his head. His hair was messy and he felt a bit disoriented. "I swear if that's not an emergency, I'll kill you." He knew he could never do it.

"It is an emergency." Rebekah claimed. "I want you to get her out of the house." She said. Damon thought he heard wrong. "You want what?"

"I cannot spend another day with that awful woman." She said and crossed her arms. Damon stared at her in disbelief. "You're waking me up for that? With emergency I meant something like the start of the hybrid apocalypse or that someone burned my carpet!"

Rebekah looked liked a little child that moment. "She is the devil!"

"Don't listen to her Damon!" Katherine walked into his room, a smirk on her face. Damon thought it couldn't get any worse. What an awesome way to start the day. "If someone needs to go, it's her."

"I live here!" Rebekah snapped. Damon looked around and was even more pissed he had no alcohol in his room.

"Shut up, dolly. You're nothing but a replacement. I was here while you lay dirty and daggered in a coffin for 90 years! You were a nice place holder but you can push off now. The real thing is back!" Katherine said certain of her victory.

Damon massaged his temples. The headache was back. "No one will move out." He said annoyed. "And now go to bed or hell or whatever. Just let me sleep."

Neither Rebekah nor Katherine was finished yet. "Do you want to know what she did?" Rebekah asked and pointed at Katherine. "She put a plushy squirrel into my closet to scare me!"

Katherine laughed. "You wanna know what she tried? I caught her putting bleachers into my shampoo!"

"This isn't true." Damon whispered to himself. "What are you? Twelve?" Damon shouted at them. The girls didn't listen and started to argue again. It was too much to take for one man.

Elena was sleeping like a baby. She hadn't slept much during the past few months. She was too afraid that the next catastrophe would happen soon. She was glad when she actually could sleep. Then she could dream of him.

It was early in the morning when she was slowly waking up. She didn't want to get up yet and rolled over to the other side of the bed, when she suddenly felt something beside her. She didn't open her eyes. She just swung her arms around his waist. "When did you come here?" she asked tiredly.

He put his arm around her, pulling her closer. "A few hours ago. I escaped from my house." He said and she could tell he was just as tired as she was. "What happened?"

He softly stroked her arms. "Just the biggest mean girl struggle the world ever saw."

Elena chuckled. "Who won?" she asked. "I don't care." And he really didn't. He secretly wished for Stefan to pop up and take one of them with him, so he could have his peace again. But that wasn't very likely to happen.

"We should get up before Baby Bro or Daddy Ric are walking in." he said and sat up. "I don't care." She said and pulled him back down to her. He was surprised how comfortable she seemed with him being there. She snuggled against him again. "We could just sleep a bit longer." He softly kissed her head. If that was her way to figure things out, then he would definitely not disagree.

Jeremy was making some scrambled eggs for breakfast. He thought Alaric needed something good and proper since he hadn't eat a lot the last few days.

"Morning." Elena said cheerful and danced into kitchen. Damon followed his hands in his pockets. "Morning."

Jeremy thought he needed more eggs. "When did you come over?" he asked and handed both of them a cup of coffee. "Sneaked in early this morning."

Jeremy didn't ask anything more. It was like the most normal thing in the world to him having Damon around and he really didn't want the details on his sister's love life.

"Good morning." A grumpy looking Alaric entered the kitchen. His hair was messy and he looked like he just grabbed into a socket. He hadn't shaved in days and his clothes looked a bit dirty. He gave Damon a brief glance, but decided not to care why he was there. His head hurt too much for a conversation like this.

"He reminds me of someone." Damon said and crossed his arms. "Yeah…" Jeremy agreed and Elena nodded. "That green guy from the Sesame Street. What was his name?"

"Oscar the Grouch?" Elena asked. Damon nodded. "Aha."

All three of them mustered Alaric again. He felt like an animal in the zoo. "The similarities are unbelievable." Jeremy said astonished.

"I think he even get's the Oscar eyebrow." Elena said.

Alaric sat down on a kitchen chair and took some aspirin. "Just make fun of me…" he said offended. Elena giggled softly and handed him a plate with eggs. "Eat something, go under the shower, shave and the world will look a little brighter!" she said cheerfully.

Alaric wasn't hungry at all. "I want my eggnog." He said grumpy and Elena rolled her eyes. "No way, Mister!" she put her hands to her hips and talked to him like a mother to her child when it was misbehaving. "You will not touch that infernal stuff again, do you understand me? You will eat your eggs and you will not leave the house until I'm sure you're not heading over to the Grill!"

Damon gulped. Jeremy got nervous. "Your sister is creepy when she talks like that." Damon said with an uneasy feeling in his stomach. Elena, still in rage, glared at him. "More coffee?" Jeremy asked quickly to change the subject. "Sure." Damon said and felt suddenly sorry for poor baby Ric.

Alaric just accepted his fate.

After breakfast Elena went back to her room, followed by Damon. She looked outside the window and sighed. "It's still not snowing." She complained.

"You really wish for it to snow, right?" Damon asked wrapped his arms around her. She leaned back and sighed again. "I love snow. It's beautiful and it makes the world look so bright."

They stood in silence for a while and just looked outside. "Then I will let it snow for you." He suddenly said. Elena turned around and raised an eyebrow. "And how do you do that, Mr. Salvatore?" she asked challenging.

"I have my methods." Damon said with a smirk. Elena laughed. "You're not going to compel Mother Hulda, right?"

"Nope. Better." He said.

"It's nothing illegal…is it?" Elena got suspicious. Damon kept smiling. "Ask as much as you want. I won't tell you. Face it, I'm full of mysteries."

When Jeremy opened the door to his room, Anna was sitting on his bed, a small smile on her lips. "Hey." Jeremy said happily and gave her a quick kiss. "I'm happy to see you." He said.

"All you have to do is thinking about me." She said softly. "I'm sorry. I was busy with Ric and playing elf and-"Anna shut him up with another kiss. "Don't apologize Jeremy, its okay. I'm here now."

He softly pushed her back on his bed. "And we shouldn't waste any time." He said in a husky voice and placed soft kisses down her neck. Anna giggled.

"Stop making out with your ectoplasm girlfriend, it looks weird." Damon was suddenly standing in his room. Jeremy quickly sat up and blushed. "Damon! Can't you just knock?"

Anna was in a shock. "He knows about me? How can he know about me?" she asked Jeremy in a high-pitched voice. He shrugged. "I have no idea."

"What if he tells someone?" she was afraid to lose Jeremy again. If Damon would tell the witch, she maybe would find a way to close the door permanently this time. "Relax, he won't." Jeremy said.

"It looks so weird….you talking to yourself." Damon said and scratched his head. Even if he knew Anna was there, it still looked kinda crazy.

"What do you want, Damon?" Jeremy asked annoyed.

"Tell the ghost hotline you call back later." He demanded. "He's an ass." Anna said and Jeremy chuckled. "She says you're an ass." He repeated so Damon would hear.

"Love you too, Anna." He said and blinked at the point he guessed she was sitting.

When Jeremy made no sign of moving, Damon got impatient. "I need a new partner in crime. My first choice is currently grounded."

"What's the plan?" Jeremy asked not really in the mood to leave Anna. "Get up and follow me. I'll tell you on the way to the Lockwood's."

"The Lockwood's?" Jeremy asked a bit surprised. He thought Damon would try avoid Carol the next few days. "Yes. I need hybrid boy, too."

That got Jeremy's attention. Tyler and Damon were not exactly friends, so for what could he need him? "It's nothing illegal, right?"

Damon rolled his eyes. "No. Why is everyone thinking that?"

Jeremy stood up and grabbed his jacket. He gave Anna an apologizing glance, but he was too curious to stay behind. "You sure that's a good idea?" she asked concerned.

"No. I'm not sure." Jeremy said and followed Damon.

When they arrived at the Lockwood mansion, Damon got an uneasy feeling. He was still afraid of Carol's holiday craziness. "Hey, which room belongs to Lockwood Jr.?" he asked Jeremy.

He pointed at a room, probably on the second floor with a big balcony. "Perfect." Damon said and grabbed Jeremy. "Hold on, Gilbert." Before Jeremy even realized what was happening Damon jumped with him on the balcony. Back on the ground, Jeremy felt a bit dizzy. "You could've warned me!"

Damon smirked. "That would've killed the fun." He tried to look inside, but the curtains were closed.

"Damon, we should probably just use the front door." Jeremy said unsure. Damon ignored him as usual and thought about the best way to get in. Breaking the window would be too loud and knocking would be no fun at all. He grabbed into his jacket pocket and fished something out.

Jeremy tried to get a look at it. "A picklock?" he asked. "Why the hell do you have a picklock?"

Damon shrugged innocently. "You never knew when you could need it." He carefully opened the door and ripped the curtains off. "Rise and shine, Lockwood!" he said cheerfully.

The view he and Jeremy got was different than they expected. They both thought Tyler would be still asleep, but what they saw was definitely not sleeping.

Tyler was in his bed, under him lay Caroline and it was obvious what they were doing.

"What the hell?" Caroline shrieked and kicked Tyler off of her. He didn't had time to process what just happened. He lay naked on the floor, in front of a laughing Damon and a semi-shocked Jeremy.

"Damon!" Caroline yelled angrily and covered her body with sheets. "Have you lost the last piece of your mind? And you –" she pointed at Jeremy who felt completely helpless, "are you following this perv's footsteps now?"

Jeremy babbled some lame excuse and tried not to look at her or Tyler while Damon was absolutely relaxed.

"Lockwood….I expected a bit….more from you." He said still laughing. Tyler, still in a shock, first didn't know what Damon was talking about until he noticed that he was still completely naked. "Fuck!" he screamed and grabbed his pants.

"This is so not true." Caroline said embarrassed and shook her head.

"I'm so sorry…." Jeremy whispered. Damon wasn't sorry at all. "Now that we've all calmed down –"

"No one has calmed down. I kill you once I'll find my dress!" Caroline snapped. Damon rolled his eyes. "Sure." He turned to Tyler. "Good news Lockwood, I allow you to be a part of my awesome plan today." He turned back to Caroline. "Thinking about it, I could use you, too." The couple stared angrily at him.

"Dude, that's not the right way to ask people for help." Jeremy whispered.

"One good reason why I should help you instead of tearing you apart?" Tyler growled.

"Well, I'm awesome, far too pretty to be hybrid food AND you would do a good deed." Damon said.

"It's something illegal, right?" Tyler said. Damon clenched his fist. "I can have legal plans, too!" he said offended.

Caroline crossed her arms. "Again, why should we help you?"

"It's for Elena, not for me." Damon said much softer, a small smile that he always had when he talked about Elena, on his lips.

Caroline studied his face. "Fine." She said. Damon seemed surprised and so was Tyler. "But just because it's for Elena. What do you want me to do?"

Damon gave her a thankful nod. "Just keep her busy until tonight and no matter what keep her away from the Boarding House."

"That's all?" Caroline asked. "Easy task."

Tyler searched for his shirt. "I really hope it's good." He said annoyed. "I swear if you ever walk on us again I –"

"Keep your mouth shut, boy." Damon whispered into his ear. "Or I'll make sure everyone know about your size problem."

Tyler blushed. "I don't have a size problem!"

Elena lay on her bed, reading a book. She watched at her clock. Damon was gone for a while now and she already started missing him. What was wrong with her? The morning with him seemed so natural, like it was always meant to be this way.

"Hey!" suddenly Caroline jumped on her bed. Elena shrieked. "Don't. Ever. Do. That. Again." She said and caught her breath.

Caroline giggled. "I'm sorry." She grabbed Elena's book. "Reading Pride and Prejudice again? You need a life."

Elena played with her hair. "I have a life. I'm just here, babysitting Ric, that's all."

"And it has nothing to do with the fact that Damon is currently busy?" she teased her. Elena blushed and threw a pillow into Caroline's face. "That's not true!"

Caroline laughed. "No of course not!"

"You don't know where he is, do you?" Elena asked innocently. "I knew it!" Caroline snapped her fingers. Elena nervously bit her lower lip. "I don't know where he is." Caroline lied. "But I have something to do for you!"

"And what's that?" Elena asked annoyed.

Caroline jumped back on her feet. "You and I go shopping today!"

That wasn't exactly what Elena wanted to do. "I'm really not in the mood, I think I'll just go over to the Boarding House and –"

"NO!" Caroline yelled. Elena eyed her suspiciously. "I mean no." she said calmly. "We…uhm…we haven't spent time together in ages. Please go with me!"

Elena still wasn't convinced. "We had a slumber party a few nights ago."

Caroline laughed nervously. That was harder than she expected. "Yeah….but I was too drunk to remember." She lied again. This time however Elena seemed to buy her excuse. "Alright. Let me call Bonnie and asked her if she wants to join us." She grabbed for her phone.

"Bonnie is busy today I already called her." Caroline said, obviously annoyed that Bonnie had no time for her. "Okay." Elena said. "Then let me call Rebekah, maybe she wants to join us."

Caroline rolled her eyes. "Why her?" she hissed.

"Care, she just wants some normal High School experience. She's a girl like you and me, be nice." Elena said and dialed Rebekah's number.

"Hello? Elena?"

"Hey, Bex." She greeted her. "I just wanted to ask if you want to go shopping with me and Caroline."

"Thank you, Elena. Normally I would love to, but Bonnie is coming over to talk about a few witch symbols my mother invented."

Elena smiled. The friendship between Bonnie and Rebekah was weird and unexpected, but somehow it worked very well. "Okay, have fun."

"Wait. Can you please take her with you? I cannot spend another minute with her around. She is such an awful person."

Elena knew immediately about whom she was talking. She took a deep breath and glanced at Caroline who just shrugged. "Okay, get her on the phone."

"Bitch! It is for you."

Elena heard some bantering on the other side of the line, but couldn't understand the exact words.

"Hello, Elena. What can I do for you?"

Elena could not belief what she was about to do. "Katherine…." She gnashed her teeth. "Would you like to go shopping with me and Caroline?"

"Shopping with you and Barbie? Why not, it's better than sitting here with Stefan's rebound girl. I'll just steal one of Damon's credit cards. I'll pick you up."

"Kat –" Elena couldn't finish her 'stop stealing Damon's stuff speech' because Katherine just hung up.

"Well….that sounds like fun." Caroline said sarcastic.

Tyler was buried deep under a lot of stuff his mother stowed away in the Lockwood basement. "It must be down here somewhere." He said and coughed because of all the dust.

"And you're sure it's still working?" Damon asked. Jeremy was holding a flashlight, since the light was broken and looked around. Suddenly he screamed. "What's wrong?" Tyler and Damon both asked. Jeremy pointed on something in front of him. Damon raised his brows. "That's a clown." He said causally.

"Yes…a scary looking clown." Jeremy said and his heartbeat was uncontrollable fast. He hated clowns. Ever since a clown ran after him when he was about five years old at a carnival. He thought the clown was evil. He didn't care about his father's explanation that the poor guy was just bitten by a bee and wasn't intentionally running after him. "You're afraid of clowns?" Damon asked. Jeremy wouldn't call it afraid, but he didn't like them that much. "Well –" he couldn't finish his sentence, because Tyler interrupted him.

"Found it!" he said and lifted a big machine up.

"Great." Damon said and clapped his back. "What else do we need?"

Tyler read the description that was lying next to the machine. "We need a lot of water and snomax…that's a snow inducer."

"Where do we get it?" Damon asked.

"Maybe the DIY store?" Tyler asked.

"Let's go then. Are you coming Jeremy?" he asked.

Jeremy still stared at the clown. He thought he was looking at him. "Sure…." He walked a few meters when Damon suddenly stopped. Tyler was already upstairs. "What?" Jeremy asked.

"I heard something…." Damon said and faked a concerned voice. "Oh my God Jer, turn around! The clown is following you!"

"What!" Jeremy screamed like a little girl and looked behind him. Damon started laughing. "You're a jerk!" Jeremy shouted.

"Hey Jer….are you afraid of Ronald McDonald?"

The mall in Richmond was filled with people and in the middle of it were Elena, Caroline and Katherine. "Why did we drive all the way to Richmond?" Caroline complained.

Elena was trying not to run into a group of people and answered slightly annoyed. "We couldn't go shopping in Mystic Falls. How should we've explained the sudden appearance of my twin?"

"Right…." Caroline said and looked at Katherine. "People don't know you've got an evil twin."

"Charming, Barbie." Katherine said unimpressed and looked around. "So….what are we searching for? Shoes? Clothes? Jewelry?" She played with the credit card she 'borrowed' from Damon.

"I was thinking about Christmas presents." Elena said, not sure what to buy anyone. "What are you getting for Tyler?" she asked Caroline.

Katherine chuckled. "A lash and a latex dress."

Caroline blushed. She still couldn't believe she spilled that out at the slumber party. "It's nothing like that!" she snapped. Elena and Katherine didn't seem convinced. "When he was a kid, his parents always went to Vermont during the holidays. He always loved it, but when his father was elected mayor they had no time for it anymore. I booked a short trip for us…" she actually was a bit shy about it. She really hoped their first vacation would be a success. Elena smiled warmly. That was the least thing she expected. "That's actually sweet, Care."

"What do you get Damon?" she asked Elena, who wasn't sure if she felt comfortable talking about him like he was actually her boyfriend. "I have no idea. He already has so much stuff and he never said he wished for something special." Except for having Stefan back, she added in thoughts, knowing that she couldn't grant him that one wish.

"I have an idea." Katherine said and dragged Elena into an underwear store. She grabbed for a sexy black negligee that just covered some small parts of her body. Elena blushed. "Katherine!" she hissed and hoped no one would see that thing.

Katherine shrugged. "Don't be so prude, Elena. It's what he wants. You dress up in this thing and we put a ribbon around you and you're the perfect present!"

Caroline nodded. She actually agreed with Katherine. Damon would love to see her wearing this. Elena looked at the negligee again, it really looked sexy. Katherine noticed her look and handed it over to her. It felt really good on her skin. She gulped. "Just buy it, I know you want it." Katherine whispered into her ear. Elena took a deep breath. "Fine, I'll buy it, BUT just because I kinda like it. Damon will get a real present!"

Caroline was surprised Elena bought it. Must be Katherine's influence, she thought.

After they left the store they went into a Café to get some coffee. They sat down on a table in a corner, Elena looked at the night dress over and over again. "If your wear that, Damon can't wait to unwrap you." Katherine said and nipped at her coffee.

Caroline noticed that Elena looked actually conflicted. "Oh my God." She said. "You're actually thinking about wearing it for him."

Elena's cheeks were glowing. "We're not even together!"

"Not the point, honey." Katherine said and actually made a point. "I know." Elena said. She stared at her cup. "It's not that I haven't thought about it…." She almost whispered.

"I would call you nuts if you hadn't! He looks like an Adonis." Caroline said. Katherine agreed. "He was one of the best I've ever had and that was back in 1864. His skills probably have improved a lot."

Elena couldn't look them into the eyes. "It's just….everything is so confusing. There was always something between us, from the very beginning. But there was always Stefan and I loved Stefan…but still there was him, always in a corner of my mind. Then Stefan was gone and I was busy searching for him, it felt wrong to give up on him after everything he did for us. When Stefan was compelled it was out of question to think about any feelings for Damon. Besides…he would've probably felt like the rebound guy and I didn't want that. But now…now everything has changed and I told him I want to figure it out I'm just…" she felt helpless. It was the first time her feelings really came out. A few tears escaped her eyes.

Caroline was speechless, a rare thing for sure. She hadn't expected such an outburst of feelings.

"You're scared." Katherine said, unusually compassionate. Elena looked at her with teary eyes. "Why is everything so complicated?" she asked her and suddenly it felt like she was talking to a friend.

"It's love, it's always complicated. But don't run away from it. He's worth it." She said and smiled genuinely. Elena smiled back.

It was already dark when they returned to Mystic Falls. Caroline decided all of sudden she needed to get home. Neither Elena nor Katherine knew that Tyler just texted her everything was in set. Katherine was back to all her bitchy glory but Elena didn't mind it. She showed a bit of the girl that was buried deep inside of her today.

Caroline parked in front of the Boarding House and Elena climbed out of the car. She needed to see Damon before the day was over. She glanced at Katherine. "You coming?"

Before Katherine could answer, Caroline did it for her. "Sorry 'Lena, but Kat and I…we need some…uh….drinks. Yes, we need some drinks!" Before Elena could ask what was going on or Katherine could protest Caroline trod on the accelerator and drove away. Elena just stared after them.

"Are you vamp-napping me, Barbie?" Katherine asked surprisingly amused. Caroline feared for a second she would be angry and threaten her again. "We just g to the Grill. Damon has a surprise for Elena and I want them to be alone."

"How cute." Katherine said sarcastically, but deep inside she really thought it was cute. Caroline ignored her comment. "We're meeting Bonnie and Rebekah for a drink."

"Great, I'll take the barman." Katherine said and licked her lips.

"You're not eating Matt. It's his shift tonight." Caroline said quickly. Katherine twitched her hair. "Mmmhh. My prom date."

Caroline rolled her eyes. Katherine looked out of the window. "You feel like bashing that annoying little Original brat?" she asked.

"You bet!" Caroline said and decided to join Team Katherine for the evening.

Elena walked into the living room of the Boarding House, no sign of anyone. "Damon?" she called, no one answered. She looked around. There was a little note on the coffee table. "Come to the backyard." It said. Elena was suspicious but decided to follow the lead.

"What the…?" when she walked out, the view was astonishing. There were lanterns everywhere and the whole garden was glowing in a warm light. "What is all that?" she asked.

"I wanted to you to see your surprise. Those lights seemed a good solution for the darkness." Damon suddenly appeared behind her. Elena turned around. "It looks beautiful, but why did you do it?" she couldn't believe all those lights were just for her. "That's not the surprise." He whispered. "What do you mean…?" she didn't expect what would happen next.

"Let it snow!" Damon shouted. Elena laughed. "Nice try, but we both know you can't –" she stopped when suddenly something white and cold landed on her nose. "That is not possible." Elena said and looked at the sky. It was snowing. It was really snowing. There were big snowflakes everywhere. Elena covered her mouth with her hands. "That is really not possible. I'm dreaming."

She walked around and smiled. Soon her hair was all snowy and wet. She spread her arms and danced around like a little child. She was laughing and grinning and just felt happy. Damon watched her. The mission was a total success. Elena picked some snow up and watched the beautiful snowflakes. Her gaze fell on Damon. "You did this…" she said, still processing what just happened and walked towards him. "You did this for me." She walked faster, she almost ran and then she jumped into his arms. Damon swung his arms around her, lifted her up and twirled her around. They both started laughing. When they finally stopped spinning they looked into each other's eyes. "I don't care how you did it….even if it was illegal." She whispered softly.

"Man, we should leave." Jeremy said as he watched Damon and Elena from the rooftop. "I really don't want to watch my sister getting all sweet and romantic."

Tyler chuckled and programmed the timer of the snow machine. "Come on, it's not like they were –"

"Doing what you and Caroline did this morning?" he asked with a grin. Tyler lightly punched his arm. "We agreed never to talk about it again."

Jeremy chuckled. "Really, we should go. I mean what Damon did was really a great idea…getting a snow machine because she wished for snow was brilliant."

"I guess my Mom must've mentioned that we have one in our basement." Tyler said and shrugged. His eyes fell on Damon and Elena. "They look happy." He acknowledged. Jeremy smiled softly. "She deserves it. I never really got her and Stefan as a couple."

"Why's that?" Tyler asked curious.

"I don't know." Jeremy put his hands into his pockets. "It never seemed real to me, they fell in love so quickly and Elena was never herself around him." For a moment he thought about his own complicated love life. Anna needed to die for him to realize how much he actually loved her. She was the one who truly got him. Bonnie was amazing, but he knew that a part of her would always see Elena's kid brother in him. "With Damon she is more natural and herself. They fit for each other."

"Wise words, Gilbert." He said and clapped Jeremy's back. They walked back to the window they climbed through to get the snow machine on the roof.

Suddenly Jeremy saw something white falling down in front of him. "Hey, wasn't the snow machine supposed just to work in one direction?" he asked confused.

"Yes. It's directed to the backyard. Why?" Tyler asked.

Jeremy laughed in disbelief. "Because it's snowing on us!"

Tyler looked at the sky. It was white and soon a snowflake landed on his forehead. "No way…"

Elena was still looking into Damon's eyes. She swung her arms around his neck, his hands were resting on her hips. "You let it snow for me…." She said. Damon smiled. "Told you I'm awesome."

She leaned closer and their foreheads were touching. "Thank you. Thank you so much. I don't know how I deserve a gift like that."

"You know why I did it." He whispered. Elena slowly closed her eyes and leaned closer. Damon started feeling nervous. He didn't know when he was nervous the last time. He could feel her hot breath on his lips.

"Damon!" Jeremy suddenly shouted from the rooftop. Damon and Elena parted a bit confused. Damon looked angrily at the Gilbert boy. Wasn't it Alaric's job to ruin their moments?

"What?" he snapped annoyed. Tyler appeared next to Jeremy, his hair almost white. Elena was wondering what they both were doing there.

"It's snowing!" Jeremy shouted.

"I know." Damon said and hoped that wasn't the reason he interrupted them. Jeremy shook his head. "No. It's actually snowing! Tyler just turned the snow machine off!"

Finally Elena understood how he could let it snow. She smiled. That man was impossible. He really organized a snow machine for her. But wait. What did Jeremy say?

"It's really snowing?" Damon asked in disbelief. Elena opened her mouth. A few flakes flew into it. "It tastes like real snow." She said with amazement.

"That's impossible." Damon said. Elena grabbed his hand. "Thanks." She whispered again. Damon raised his eyebrow. "The real snow is not my doing."

"I know." She said softly. "But it was you who promised me my wish would come true."

Jeremy and Tyler joined them in the backyard. "Talk about a Christmas miracle." Jeremy said as they watched the sky together.
