*This story is told through Ava's point of view of the tv show.


Ava walked downstairs and found Stefan asleep in a chair. She laughed and walked over to him. She gently tapped his shoulder. He woke up and rubbed his eyes. "If you are so tired, go upstairs and sleep." Ava said. She picked up the book Stefan had dropped. Stefan stood up and stretched. And then there was laughing. Stefan turned to Ava.

"Was that you?"

"No." she replied, just as confused as he was. Stefan walked toward the fireplace, and then there was the sound of a door. They looked over and the back door was opened, the drapes flowing in the wind. Ava walked over and closed them. There was a thumping sound and the pair headed into the foyer. The sound of feet came from upstairs.

"Damon?" Stefan asked. No answer. It had to be Damon. He was probably just trying to scare them. And then someone ran behind them, and not the kind of run from a human. They both turned and were knocked off their feet, falling on the ground. Another zoom and they were on their backs, and a blonde vampire laying on top of Stefan, baring her fangs.

"Lexi!?" Ava asked, surprised. The vampire smiled and sat up.

"Hi." she said.

"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked and they all stood up.

"How could you even ask that?" she asked, pulling them each into hugs.

"We missed you." Ava said.

Lexi looked at the brother and sister. "Happy Birthday."


Stefan, Ava, and Lexi all sat on Stefan's bed, laughing and talking. "I don't know, some freak shot at me with wooden bullets. I bail in under sixty." Lexi said. "And why is a news reporter hunting vampires?"

"I don't know. I don't know who knows about us." Stefan replied. "That guy did. There could be others. Do us a favor, while you're here, please be careful."

"Why stay? I'm headed to New York for the weekend. Bon Jovi in the Garden. "Wanted dead or alive", it's our theme song. It'll be a blast."

"Do you think he would actually remember us?" Ava asked, coolly. "That was a pretty crazy weekend huh?"

"We can make him remember us." Lexi said, getting off the bed, extending an arm to Ava, who shook her head and laid down, covering her face. "Come on! Let's go. I mean, what's keeping you here?"

"I told you, her name is Elena." Stefan said.

"Yeah, yeah. And his name's Jeremy. Let's hope she's better than the last girl you got all sprung over." Lexi mocked, holding up a picture of Katherine from 1864. Ava didn't know why Stefan still kept that.

Stefan snatched the photo away. "You didn't even know Katherine."

"'Cause if I did I'd kick her ass." Lexi said, giving Ava a high five. "Little bitch. Speaking of... where's Damon?"

"Inflicting misery somewhere." Ava chimed in, leaning up from the bed.

Stefan walked over to Lexi. "You gonna be okay here alone? 'Cause we got some things we gotta take care of."

"It's not exactly like I can go anywhere. And you two and Damon are the only ones with these nifty little daylight rings." She gasped. "I have a mood ring from '75! Trade ya?"

"Doesn't work that way and you know it."

"Yeah." Lexi said, disappointed.

"Hey Lex. I'm really glad that you came here."

"What are we doing for your birthday? It's not every day that twins turn a hundred and sixty-two years old."

"Really?" Stefan groaned.

"Oh yeah." Lexi and Ava said at the same time.


Ava sat down in Sheriff Forbes office. She had just questioned Matt, Stefan, and Elena, and Jeremy was after her. They had all been through the plan to make sure their answers matched up and Sheriff Forbes won't be suspicious.

"Hello Ava." the sheriff said. "Now you're not in any trouble. I just want to get some answers."

"I understand."

"So where did Vicki say she was going?"

"She didn't. All she said to Jeremy was that she was leaving town and that he didn't need to worry about her anymore."

"Matt said that your brother might know what happened to her before she left town. That he came to see Vicki at her home. Do you know anything about that?"

"Stefan went to go see Vicki. Elena and I had asked him too. She had a drug problem and we were both worried about Jeremy."

"What was Vicki's behavior like the last few days before she left? Did she have any aggression or any signs of violence?"

"No."

"So you believe Vicki really has left town?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Could you please send Jeremy?"

"Yes ma'am."


Stefan and Ava waited outside of the police station for Jeremy and Elena. Matt exited before they did.

"I was trying to help her Matt. That's all." Stefan said as Matt walked past. He just kept on walking and didn't acknowledge them. Elena, Jeremy, and Jenna came out a few seconds later. Jeremy walked straight up to Ava.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked. Ava nodded and they walked away from Stefan and Elena. "I just wanted to tell you that I had a fun time with you the other night."

"I'm glad."

"Maybe we could hang out later tonight?"

"Any special reason?"

"Is there one I should be aware of?" Jeremy asked, raising any eyebrow.

"Well it's kind of my birthday."

"Really? Happy Birthday! Now we definitely need to hang out."

"I agree."

"But maybe I could give you a little present first?" Jeremy said.

"What?"

Jeremy put his arms around Ava's waist and pulled her into him. And they kissed, surprising Ava. Her lips just melted into his. She had been waiting for this moment ever since she met Jeremy. Jeremy pulled back and smiled at her. "How's that for a present?" he asked.

"I love it." And she kissed him again.

"Jeremy!" Jeremy and Ava turned and Jenna was motioning for him to come to the car. Elena was already inside and Stefan left without Ava.

"I will talk to you later about getting together." Jeremy said. They hugged and Jeremy walked over to the car. Ava smiled widely as the car pulled out of the parking lot. Jeremy had just kissed her! After a century of crappy birthdays, maybe this would be the best birthday ever!


Ava got back to the boarding house just as Lexi opened her suitcase full of blood bags. "Could you have anymore?" Ava asked, sitting on the couch.

"Hey!" Lexi said. "I heard you got some action."

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't."

Lexi stabbed a straw into the blood bag and took a sip. "You want some?" she asked Stefan and Ava. She sure did, but with Stefan around she couldn't take the offer. "No." she said.

"No. Thank you." Stefan answered.

"Relax I didn't kill anyone for it. This phlebotomist I went out with a few times, he's my supplier." Lexi said. "Oh don't judge, ok? Listen, I tried the animal diet; lasted three weeks."

"It doesn't matter. Cause if I started again ... I just don't know if..."

"You could stop." Lexi said.

"Lexi, we'd never judge you." Ava chimed in.

"I'm just jealous of you guys restraint. I have none. I delight in hedonism. Speaking of which, what are we doing tonight?"

"Funny you should ask." Ava turned around and Damon had walked in. It was the first time she'd seen him since that weird moment the other night.

"Well I wasn't asking you." Lexi told him.

"There's a party at the grill." Damon informed them. "You'll love it. Banquettes, Tacky wait staff; all of my siblings'' friends."

"Yeah, we don't want a Birthday party." Stefan said, obviously reading Ava's mind.

"Well, it's not for you. It's a party party. No one's gonna know it's your birthday. Caroline's throwing it."

"Damon, stay away from Caroline." Ava said angrily.

"We're friends, it's cool. It's important for the town to see us out and about like normal folk. We need to blend." Damon looked at Lexi's suitcase. "I prefer mine at 98.6." He turned and left.

"Let's Go." Lexi said. "Please?"


"Hello?" Jeremy answered from the other line.

"Hi!" Ava exclaimed, a little to overly excited as she finished up her mascara.

"Hey you. What's up?"

"I wanted to know if you wanted to go to a party tonight."

"You're having a birthday party?"

"No. Caroline's throwing it. Though I think Damon's really making her. But me, Stefan, and our friend Lexi are going and I wanted to see if you were interested."

"I'm sorry, but I realized…I have so much homework to catch up on. I can't believe I missed this many classes."

"That's okay. Maybe I can come over afterwards and help you study." Ava said, flirtatiously.

"I think that would be great. And then we can make your birthday special.

"Awesome! I'll see you later tonight." Ava said and hung up the phone. She smiled to herself and got up to go to Stefan's room to see how much longer they would be. She was walking down the hall when Lexi marched up to her from downstairs, wrapped in a towel. "What's wrong?" she asked, following Lexi into Stefan's room.

"Are you out of your freaking mind?" she furiously asked Stefan.

"What are you talking about?" he asked. Lexi picked up the picture of Katherine.

"I just met Elena. You have some serious explaining to do."


Ava, now dressed and ready, sat with Stefan and Lexi, in his room, while Lexi finished putting on her make up. "You have some serious emotional damage." Lexi informed Stefan.

"No, it's not what you think. She's not Katherine." he defended himself.

"Then they're related, 'cause they could be twins."

"I don't know."

"You don't know or you didn't find out?"

"No. Maybe. I don't want to know. I have no desire to tie Elena to Katherine." Lexi looked at Stefan. "Ok yes, yes the resemblance is what drew me in. But that's it. Katherine and Elena may look the same on the outside but on the inside they are completely different."

"So Elena is not a raging Bitch then, huh?"

"No. Elena is ... Elena's warm and she's...she's kind, and she's caring, and she's selfless. And it's real... and honestly when I'm around her... I- I completely forget what I am."

"Oh my god." Ava said to her brother. "You're in love with her." She knew Stefan had liked Elena, but he didn't know it was that much.

"Yeah. Yeah, I am."


Ava and Lexi left for the party before Stefan. He had to stop at Elena's first. As soon as they walked in, Damon walked up to them. "Where's our brother?" he asked.

"He's meeting us here." Ava informed him.

He looked at Lexi. "Buy you a..." But Lexi was already walking away, with Ava following her. Lexi sat down at a booth.

"Okay, so I want to know all about this Jeremy guy."

"What do want to know?"

"Well the basics. How did you meet, what's he like...is he hot?"

Ava laughed and pulled out her phone and showed Lexi a picture of her and Jeremy when they spent the day at the Grill. "Hot. Very nice Ava. Now the details."

"We met here. We just sort of started talking. There was a little bit of hostility for a while, because of his relationship with this girl Vicki." She paused. "But we've actually spent a decent amount of time together and you already know that he kissed me today."

"What was that like?"

"It was amazing! I don't think I've ever felt anything close to that before."

"That's good." Lexi looked over at the door and Stefan was walking in. The girls got up and went over to him. Lexi grabbed his hand and they immediately went for the dance floor. Lexi and Ava started dancing, but Stefan just seemed to stand there.

"Okay, I'm gonna need a little more foot movement." Lexi informed him.

"Yeah, not really interested in making a fool out of myself."

"Come on!" Ava said looking Stefan in the eyes. "Dance!" Stefan stared at her for a second and then sighed.

"Do me a favor. Tell me if you see Damon with his camera phone." It happened again. Whatever, it was probably no big deal.


After dancing for a while, Lexi, Stefan, and Ava decided to play pool together. "I'm going to go get us some shots. She walked over to the bar, got some, but was stopped when she saw Elena. She was talking to Elena. Ava didn't pay attention. She didn't feel like intruding on their conversation. It wasn't her place.

"Yep, I drank yours, sorry." Lexi said, walking back up to the twins.

Stefan smiled at her. "Thank you."

"You weren't supposed to be listening. I was feeling epic, whatever."


Elena eventually joined Stefan and Ava as they played pool. "Hi!" she said, hugging Ava.

"You came." Stefan said, obviously happy.

"Well I couldn't miss you guy's one hundreth and...whatever birthday." The smiled at each other. Ava smiled and took a shot, looking toward the door. Sheriff Forbes had walked in. She was holding a girl, who was obviously scared senseless. She pointed. Ava stood up straight and told Stefan. They followed her finger and she was pointing in Damon's direction. Sheriff Forbes walked over toward Damon and Lexi, and reached into her pocket. As she reached Lexi, she stuck something into her side. A shot of vervain.

"Oh my god!" they both said. The deputies started to drag Lexi away.

"What is it?" Elena asked, as they exited the building. Stefan and Ava walked over to the door. An officer blocked their way.

"Can't go out this way" he said. Stefan and Ava went towards the back door and quickly snuck out, with Elena trailing behind them. Ava heard shots in the distance and they walked faster. Just as they were about to turn the corner, Ava saw Damon stake Lexi in the heart. Stefan saw too and pulled her and Elena back.

"Oh my god!" Ava said.

"Why?" they heard Lexi ask.

"It's part of the plan." Ava heard him whisper to her. There was a thud as Lexi fell on the ground dead.

"You okay?" Damon asked the Sheriff.

"Thank you. Get her in the car quickly."

"All right." And Stefan, Ava, and Elena walked in the opposite direction. They walked past the Grill, as they were walking away from what they just saw.

"Stefan! Ava!" Elena called, trying to catch up with them.

"He killed her! He killed Zach, he killed Tanner, he turned Vicki; we have to kill him!" Stefan said.

"No, you can't do that!"

"Why are you trying to save him?!" Ava shouted. "Elena he's never gonna change! Don't you see that?! He's never gonna change!"

"I'm not trying to save him, I'm trying to save you two! You have no idea what this will do to you"

"Everywhere we've been, pain and death follow; Damon follows us. No more." Stefan said.

"Stefan please. Please just- just talk to me; Let me be here for you. Talk to me."

"No. You were right to stay away from me." And Stefan and Ava quickly walked away from her.


Stefan and Ava stood at the window as Damon turned from his drink. "Told you I'd take care of it." Damon said. And all hell broke loose.

Stefan ran over to Damon and punched him, then threw him on the ground, making him hit the dresser. Ava walked over to him and punched him three times before he kicked her back. They both got up and Stefan grabbed Damon, pinning him up against the wall.

"Come on, I did this for you two. To get them off our trail." Damon tried to reason with his crazy siblings.

"You never do anything for anyone but yourself." Stefan said and he reach into to his back pocket, pulling out a stake. And he stabbed Damon with it.

Damon gasped in and looked down. Stefan had got him in the stomach. "You missed!"

"No. You saved our lives. I'm sparing yours." Stefan said. Ava walked over to the duo.

"We're even." she said and forced the stake farther into Damon's stomach. "And now we're done." They both let go of the stake and Damon fell to the floor while the two left the room.


Ava looked at Jeremy for a moments, before knocking on his window. He turned, spotting her in the tree, and walked over, opening the window. She immediately jumped into the room and started fiercely making out with him. She ran her fingers through his messy hair. "What's this for?" he asked, pausing their make out session for a moment.

"I'm pissed and I just want sex." she said, jumping up, wrapping her legs around Jeremy's waist.

"Whatever you say." Jeremy laid down on the bed, Ava on top of him. She took off her shirt, revealing her black lace bra and she and Jeremy spent the night wrapped up in each other.
