Bonnie Bennett sat in the middle of Caroline and Elena on the plane ride back to Virginia. The two of them wasted no time filling Bonnie in on everything that had been happening at school. It was nice to be around her friends again. Everyone looked good and happy and that was all she had hoped they were.

When they landed and everyone got back to Whitmore, Bonnie told her friends to meet her and Damon at the border leading to their hometown.

When Damon and Bonnie arrived at the border everyone was there waiting for them.

"What's going on?" Matt asked as he wrapped Bonnie into a warm hug.

"I have a gift for everyone," Bonnie answered, releasing him. "Will you help me?" she asked him.

"Yeah," Matt nodded as she began to give him candles out of the bag she was carrying.

"Place them along the border," she instructed as he handed a couple of them to Tyler and Jeremy. She reached into her bag and pulled out one of Emily's grimoires. Caroline took it as Bonnie flipped through it. "Thanks," she said to the blonde. Bonnie found the spell she was looking for and suddenly the candles were lit. "Redde statera, O magiae naturalis, undo haec retorta fate," Bonnie chanted. The flames shot high before the candles were extinguished. She took the book from Caroline and gently pushed her over the border.

"Bonnie, what the hell?" Caroline panicked. "I can't believe you pushed me over the anti-magic border!"

"I can't believe you're still alive," Elena said with a wide smile.

"What?" Caroline said looking around. "I'm..." she began, her blue eyes meeting Bonnie's.

"Emily had a spell for this," Bonnie informed them. "Go figure," she laughed. Elena, Stefan and Enzo all hugged Bonnie before they jumped across the line. "You going?" she asked watching Jeremy, Matt, Tyler join the other four over the line.

"You never cease to amaze me, Bon Bon," Damon smirked.

"Shut up and get over there," Bonnie said, pushing him playfully.

"Come on," he said with a jerk of his head.

"This is for you guys," she said shaking her head. Damon stood behind her and nudged her over the line. Damon laughed as Elena and Caroline grabbed Bonnie and began to dance around.

"So," Ric said stepping beside Damon.

"So what?" he asked.

"What the hell was with that bite?"

"What bite?"

"That bite that made everyone feel like they should leave the room," Ric said as they watched everyone dance around and celebrate.

"It was nothing," Damon said, avoiding eye contact.

"So, it was something," Ric chuckled.

"Don't make a big deal out of nothing, Ric," Damon said glancing at him then back at Bonnie. "I was just trying to make sure we all got home. Making sure we had enough blood."

"Yeah ok," Ric said folding his arms across his chest. "Alright you guys," he called out. "Head back to Whitmore or wherever it is you live. It's late."

"Thank you so much, Bonnie" Caroline said hugging her best friend. "I'm gonna go see my mom tonight," she said to her friends. They all nodded as she headed toward her car. Everyone hugged and started heading to their cars. Everyone hugged Bonnie again. Bonnie smiled as she watched Stefan, Enzo and Caroline drive across the border into Mystic Falls.

"You ready?" Elena said linking her arm into hers.

"Yeah," Bonnie smiled. "See ya later, Damon."

"Yeah," Damon waved as they two of them got into Elena's SUV.

"You good?" Ric asked, his hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Yeah. You?" Damon asked as he watched Elena's taillights disappear.

"Yeah. Bonnie's back, the anti-magic border's gone, you're back," Ric listed. "I'm human, life's good."

"Yeah. Right," the oldest Salvatore said. "I'll catch you tomorrow," Damon said as he made his way toward his car. He missed his car. He had crashed it into the Grill four months ago so there was no way he'd be getting it back but that's fine. He'd just have to pick some other badass car that oozed Damon Salvatore. He turned the engine over and waved to Ric on the way by.


Bonnie had been attending classes all week; and for whatever reason school was...harder. Not necessarily the classes themselves but all the hustle and bustle. Four months of nothing and no one and now to be thrown back into the fray was causing her to have mini freak outs. It was just weird. After her final class that week, Bonnie went straight to her dorm.

"Hey Bon," Elena said entered the large room. "You ok?"

"Not really," Bonnie answered. "I don't think..." she began but was interrupted by Caroline busting into the room

"Professor Mayhew is Satan," the blonde stated, slamming the door shut. "I was really trying to get through this semester without compelling any of my professors but if he doesn't easy up with the work, I'm seeing a vacation to Bali in his future."

"Trouble in class?" Elena chuckled.

"I have to read these by next Friday," Caroline said tossing two large books on her bed. "It sucks." Elena laughed as she started unloading her own books.

"I don't think I can stay here," Bonnie blurted out.

"What?" Caroline asked shocked.

"I don't. It's...hard. I need to ease back into to this. I'm not Damon. Being a vampire is a lifetime of solitude, I don't have that," Bonnie tired to explain. "All these people all the time, it's...it's off-putting. I'm sorry, I can't stay here. I'm still going to go to school but staying here is too much for me. I need familiar surroundings. For now at least."

"You mean Mystic Falls familiar?" Caroline asked, joining Bonnie on her bed.

"Yeah, I think so," the witch nodded. "I need you guys to understand," she said holding her hand out to Elena.

"We get it, Bonnie," Elena said taking her hand. "Whatever you need to do to feel ok."

"Thank you. I love you guys," she said pulling them into a group hug. Elena and Caroline helped Bonnie pack her things. As the last of her things got put into boxes Bonnie thumbed through her phone. Things were weird now so she wasn't sure who to call.

"Hello?" the voice on the other end said.

"Hey Matt, I need a favor," Bonnie said.

"Anything."

"Can you come get me? I'm moving back to Mystic Falls."

"Is everything ok?" he asked, concerned.

"I'm just a little overwhelmed," she answered.

"I'll be there soon."

"Thanks, Matt."

"No problem," he said before ending the call.

About an hour later Matt showed up and the four of them loaded all of Bonnie's belongings on to the bed of his truck. Bonnie hugged her two girlfriends before Matt helped her into the cab. She waved goodbye as the truck roared to life.

"Thanks again for this," she said once the university was out of sight.

"It's not a problem," he smiled. "Where are we headed, anyway?"

"The boarding house," she answered firmly. Matt tossed a sideways glance at her but didn't question her. They rode in silence the rest of the ride there. Matt helped her unload her things in front of the door of the large house.

"You want me to stay?" he asked.

"No. I've got it," she smiled, hugging him tightly.

"Call me if you need me," Matt said releasing her. She nodded and Matt headed back to his truck. She watched him pull away. Bonnie turned back to the door, took several deep breathes before she knocked.

"Who the hell is knocking?" she heard Damon yell from inside.

"I don't know, Damon, why don't you open the door and find out," she heard Stefan yell back. She laughed to herself. Living here with the Salvatore brothers was going to be an adventure.

"What the hell?" Damon said softly after he pulled the door open.

"Hi," Bonnie smiled.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, concern etched on his brow. "Are you ok? Did something happen?"

"Damon, I'm fine. I just...I couldn't stay at Whitmore. I need to ease myself back into that life," she explained. "I need to live in familiar surroundings."

"So here?"

"Clearly."

"Who was at the door?" Stefan asked as he joined his brother in the open doorway. "Bonnie! What are you doing here?" he asked, pushing his way past Damon.

"I need to stay here," she answered.

"Then why are you still standing out here?" Stefan questioned, releasing her. He grabbed a couple of her bags and carried them inside.

"Are you sure you don't mind?" Bonnie asked Damon.

"No," he whispered. He stepped out and grabbed a stack of boxes. "I'll never mind spending time with you," he said with a smile. Bonnie felt the heat rush to her cheeks. She looked away, grabbed a few more bags and followed Damon into the house.
