I have some REALLY good ideas for the time travel bit! I'm really excited!

Chapter 9

"Klaus we should really hurry up now, the dinner's about to start and we're not even dressed yet!" Caroline said laughing.

"But, love..." Klaus began, he was quickly stopped.

"No, we've had our fun, now we our going to socialize, you can sulk all you want." Caroline said as sternly as she could, Klaus frowned and gave her the adorable puppy dog eyes, that he had quickly found out made her melt, it was his trick, but he knew it was a weak attempt.

"Come on, Klaus!" Caroline said pulling him up as she tossed a suit to him.

"Why do we have to dress up, just because Elijah lives in suits he doesn't have to drag me down too. He's doing it on purpose because he knows that I won't or can't use my daggers because of you." Klaus replied angrily, he loved Caroline but she was allowing his older brother to toy with him. He sighed knowing that she would be as persistent as ever. Caroline smiled at his comment, she was dressed in a dark purple dress that hugged her body, but not too tight, it was knee length and accompanied by a pair of jimmy choos.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I probably won't be spending tonight with you..." Caroline began when she noticed him start to frown, she pouted, it was for one night, who knew that the original hybrid needed her so badly she thought to herself, she smiled.

"Aww hunny, you know I love you, but we're having a girls night, I want Rebekah, Katherine and Elena to be on better terms." Caroline explained as she walked over to help him with his tie.

"Very well love, I love you too, but why can't i have you all to myself, it's not myself that they don't get along." Klaus said as he kissed her forehead. "And what about the Bennett witch and Hayley?" Klaus asked with a smirk, he knew that Bonnie would be fine with anyone, but he also knew how annoyed Caroline and even Katerina got at the mere mention of the wolf's name, he loved seeing her trying to cover up being annoyed, he smiled, too cheesily. Caroline noticed.

"I know what you're doing, you're trying to get my...dislike towards Hayley to make me stay with you, no can do, I have decided to be...civil towards her...but if she tries anything, well then we will have a problem." Caroline said proudly, knowing that she had beaten him again.

"You got me, love! What about Katerina? She is so insecure about my dear brother..." Klaus began.

"Well I'll have a word with Katherine, I'm sure she'll be cooperative, to show Elijah her good side." Caroline said as she rolled her eyes. Katherine trying not to kill someone, this would be fun. What was worse was that she wouldn't mind if Katherine did end up killing her. She stopped thinking, what was she thinking. Caroline Forbes was definitely not one who was into killing people, she sighed and shook her head, well she didn't like killing innocent people, but Hayley wasn't innocent...

"I see I've got the ball rolling in that brilliant mind of yours." Klaus said laughing, she sighed.

"As much as I don't like her, I won't allow myself or Katherine kill her. That's final, torture would be fine though." Caroline said with a smile. "If she crosses the line. Now come on." Caroline walked towards the door, Klaus followed immediately linking their arms, and they walked down the stairs.

"I haven't said this, but you look divine, love." Klaus said with a smile to show off his gorgeous dimples.

"Thank you...hunny." Caroline said laughing. Klaus looked to her surprised.

"Is that my pet name, if it is, I love it, love." Klaus said laughing, they reached the bottom of the stairs, when Damon appeared in front of them.

"Hi, it's a lovely home you've got Klaus, but I'm not here for small talk. I'm here to apologise to Caroline. I'm not just saying this because Klaus will eventually kill me, I'm saying this because you're my friend and when we first met, I didn't treat you well, I hurt you and what's worse, when you remembered, I didn't apologise and there is absolutely no excuse for both, but I was embarrassed and didn't really want Elena to know the full extent of what I did to you, I wanted her to love me, like me not see me as the problem, you know? I wanted her to see the best part of me, so I didn't apologise in case she hated me, which she would have. What I'm trying to say is I'm sorry. I don't usually apologise for, well, anything but for this I'm truly sorry and I understand if you don't forgive me, I would probably kill me too, Klaus. But Caroline has probably told you not to, which I'm thankful for, she is someone I will always treasure that she is my friend." Damon said, as he looked Caroline straight in the eye. Klaus wanted to punch him in the face, but he had promised Caroline that he wouldn't at least not just yet, instead he waited for her to say something.

"Damon, I forgive you, but I want you to know that I can't forget. But, I'd say we were friends, not too close, but never less, friends. So I want you to know that Klaus won't hurt you and hopefully nobody else in this house." Caroline said as she pulled Damon in for a hug, they smiled.

"Thanks Blondie, I guess I'll see you both, in there." Damon said as he walked towards the dining room.

Caroline and Klaus were left alone for literally two seconds when Rebekah flashed in, with Stefan following closely behind.

"Why did you make me promise not to hurt him, I'm your friend it's what we do, I feel the need to rip his throat out." Rebekah started.

Caroline sighed, all of the originals siblings were the same, and she chuckled.

"Rebekah, I'd say we were good friends, maybe even best, one day? Oh yeah, girls night tonight, living room, everyone's sleeping downstairs!" Caroline ended in a squeal.

"Well if you're doing girls night, let's do boys night!" Stefan said with a smile.

"Very well Stefan, but I am not sleeping under the same blanket as anyone, none of this sleepover business. Ok?" Klaus said smiling.

"Of course Klaus, come on, we have to tell the others!" Stefan said as he walked towards the dining room.

Klaus kissed Caroline on the cheek, as did Stefan with Rebekah, and then they walked off leaving Rebekah to shout at Caroline.

"What the bloody hell was you thinking? What is wrong with you? Girl's night? More like, massacre night for Elena and Hayley!" Rebekah began.

"No, I want everyone to at least tolerate each other, we need trust in order to make sure no one stabs us in the back. No offence, with the whole Elena thing." Caroline said with a smile as she began walking off.

"Just because Nik is in love with you, doesn't mean you have to rope me into this!" Rebekah shouted to a chuffed Caroline.

"This has nothing to do with Nik! This is girls bonding, it will help you and Katherine to be more friendly and make friends!" Caroline said as she laughed at the thought of Katherine Pierce and Rebekah Mikaelson at a sleepover.

Rebekah rushed after her and they entered the dining room together.

"Good evening Miss Forbes you look as delightful as ever." Elijah with a smile as he kissed her hand when she entered, she smiled at him, he was good for Katherine.

"Thank you Elijah, but please call me Caroline." Caroline said with a smile.

"Now, Caroline, you know that I love formality." Elijah said with a chuckle.

Caroline smiled, then sighed straight after as Kol came up to her, she smiled, waiting for some comment that would make her as uncomfortable as ever.

"Kol, how are you?" Caroline said with a smile.

"I am fine, Caroline. You need not worry of anything from me, I just want to get to know my new sister more, you're a much better replacement for Rebekah." Kol said as he smiled at his scowling sister.

"Well, I'm certain that Stefan is a better replacement for you." Rebekah said as she pushed passed him, walking towards Stefan.

Kol laughed.

"I was joking sister! But, I was being truthful in wanting to know my sister better." Kol said with a smile. "Besides, I see you and my brother together, and I know that you are both good for each other, I want this to work, so I will do my part, by not giving you too many chances to fall madly for me." Kol said as he kissed her hand. Caroline rolled her eyes.

"Well, that is good to here, I think that you'd be a good friend." Caroline said with a genuine smile. "Oh look, there's Bonnie..." Caroline said as she walked away from a clearly distracted Kol.

Meanwhile...

"Katerina, you are more beautiful as the day I first laid eyes on you, if that is even possible." Elijah said as he kissed Katherine's hand, she smiled. She was in love with him, but it felt as though she was falling in love with him again, the way whenever he talked or noticed her she smiled, swooned. The way she felt inside, she had only felt like this with Stefan a few times, but with Elijah it was magical, she couldn't stop it. She blushed.

"Ah there's the blush, I was beginning to think, and I was losing my touch." Elijah said with a warm laugh.

"Now Elijah, we both know that you could never lose your touch." Katherine said, the comment was full of hidden subtext, but Elijah tried to hide the grin that came on his face at the mention of these words. Katherine smiled as she kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Come, Katerina, we have yet to greet everybody." Elijah said with a smile.

"What have you been doing before I came down?" Katherine asked confused, she had heard Elijah walk down the stairs almost 20 minutes ago; she stared into his eyes waiting for a response.

"I was waiting for you, of course I said hello to Caroline, but I was hoping to say hello to everyone with you." Elijah said shyly. He knew he was asking of a bit much, this was something that couples did, but he thought that they were a couple. He was in love with her and she was in love with him.

"That is one of the sweetest and cutest things I've heard. Wow. Of course Elijah, let's go." Katherine said smiling as she took his arm in hers and began walking towards everyone else.

Elijah grinned, it was a relationship milestone, she would go round with him, he was giddy, but couldn't show it. He was Elijah Mikaelson one of the most sophisticated vampires on the planet, but when he was around his Katerina, he lost it. He was like a puppy, but so was she. It was like young love, even though they were hundreds of years old and had already known and loved each other. He smiled as he watched her walk up to Stefan and Rebekah.

"I know that you're worried about Klaus killing me, but Caroline loves me, she couldn't cope without her best friend. Just one kiss, please?" Stefan asked with a smile.

Rebekah looked at him, why would anyone give him up, it was like that metaphor of throwing away a diamond and picking up a rock instead, it perplexed her; she gave in and leaned in for a kiss. It felt like an eternity in his arms, the kiss was long and passionate, she knew people were watching, but that made her happier. People would know that he was hers and she was his, by people she meant Elena, but it still felt extremely good, she let out a gasp as he bit her lip cheekily, she retaliated by deepening in the kiss. They finally broke apart when they heard a cough, it was Elijah and Katherine. The four greeted each other, after a while of small talk, Stefan finally let out. "Katherine, can i speak to you, for a minute?"

Which was replied with a "Yeah, of course, Stefan."

The pair walked into the corner, Katherine stayed quiet waiting for an answer.

"Well, I bet you're wondering why I called you here, but because we're all gonna be here, for a while, hopefully." Stefan said as he turned to look at Rebekah who was talking to Bonnie. He returned to look at Katherine. "I think it would be better if we were all friends again? You know, I'm sorry I killed you, but you had jumped into Elena's body and you were gonna die anyway." Stefan finally said.

"I know and I'm sorry for everything, that I ever did to you, I mean it. I'm not saying that I'm a better person or whatever crap people say, but I'm sorry, friends?" Katherine asked curiously.

"Friends." Stefan replied, they were both glad everything had cleared up between them; they were taking in each other's presence when Elena walked in. Katherine groaned, when suddenly Elena approached her.

"Hi!" Elena said awkwardly to the both of them.

"Hey." "Hi." Stefan and Katherine replied.

"So, hearing you two make up made me want to apologise to both of you, I guess that I should be sorry Katherine, you were dying, this was your chance to survive and finally get Stefan, since Elijah didn't come to see you when you were dying, you were scared and desperate. Even though you used me and manipulated me, I guess you weren't always like that and I'm sorry." Elena said proudly, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Thanks. I'm sorry too, for everything, I'm gonna make a toast, because at this rate, I'm going to have to apologise to everyone in the room..." Katherine said as she walked off.

"Soo." Elena said to Stefan, it was a bit awkward, even though they had parted as friends. "You and Rebekah? I'm glad you've found someone who makes you happy and deserves you." Elena said smiling.

"I'm glad too. How are you and Damon?" Stefan asked, it was a sensitive subject but still had to be brought up.

"We're doing fine." Elena replied, she had to play it down; she didn't want to make out that they were having the time of their lives; she decided to play it cool.

"Well I'm happy for both of you, where is my brother?" Stefan asked inquisitively.

Elena stared at the man before her, the man she loved in two different ways, but now was firmly a friend, and she smiled at the fact that they were Ok.

"He's over there, talking to Kol and Jeremy, they're both quiet, I'm worried about Kol he might do something to Jer." Elena started.

"Oh ok, but don't worry about Kol, I won't let him and neither will Caroline or Klaus." Stefan said with a smile. "Even Rebekah and Elijah won't allow it."

"Oh really?" Elena said with a giggle.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Stefan asked with a smile.

"Oh nothing, just that I'm happy for you and Rebekah or Bekah as I heard Caroline call her. They're close aren't they?" Elena asked rhetorically, deep down she was jealous, she had lost Caroline and even Bonnie to some extent as well as Stefan, she was paying more attention to Damon, that was going to change.

"Yeah they are, oh yeah, Caroline is probably gonna tell you this soon, but there is a girls night, tonight in the living room, like a sleepover. We're having a guy's night." Stefan said rolling his eyes.

"What? Is she crazy? Hayley and Katherine in the same room for the whole night? Me and Katherine and Rebekah? Caroline and Hayley? Is she feeling Ok?" Elena asked in a worried tone.

"Oh she's just being Caroline! She wants everyone to bond so there aren't any trust issues, if anything bad happens." Stefan said with a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, Caroline and bonnie are going to be level-headed and sort out any disputes, tonight." Stefan finished.

"Yay." Elena said sarcastically. "Look Damon's coming, I'll leave you to it." Elena added before walking to Caroline, to get additional information on tonight's...events.

"Hello, brother." Damon said coolly.

"Hey Damon." Stefan replied.

After a minute or two of awkward silence, they finally went in to hug each other. They were brothers; they couldn't let Elena tear them apart.

They smiled at each other.

"So you an original Blondie?" Damon asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I really like her Damon, she's been through so much and I don't want to hurt her." Stefan said with a smile.

"Good, we don't want Klaus to murder both Salvatore's." Damon said nervously.

"What do you mean? It's Caroline she told him not to hurt you and he agreed, because it's her. Don't mess with either of them Damon. Better yet, don't mess with anyone." Stefan replied seriously.

"I won't, don't worry. I think that we're on OK ish terms, now come, let's eat." Damon said as he walked to the dining table, which was ready.

Everyone made their way to the dining table. Klaus sat at one end, with Caroline to his right. Elijah at the other, with Katherine to his right. Stefan sat between Damon and Rebekah, who was next to Kol and Bonnie. Elena sat next to Damon. On the other side Jeremy, Tyler and Hayley sat as well as extra spaces for guests, as Elijah described them. Nobody knew who was coming, except for Elijah, not even his siblings or even his Katerina.

"Well, brother, who are our mystery guests?" Kol asked laughing nervously. "I bet that the guests aren't part of dinner, that's more Nik's style..."Kol continued only to be given death glares that were almost identical from Nik and Caroline. He had to recover, even he knew that there was only so much Caroline could say in his defence and this time he had pissed her off too. "Or was, until he met my beautiful sister Caroline, who has taught him how to be a better man?" Kol asked more than said, the death glare lifted from Caroline's face, instead she mouthed, "You're lucky." Kol knew what she had meant, he's lucky he saved his statement; otherwise he would most definitely be daggered. He gave a nervous chuckle before staring at his food. Surprisingly Bonnie smiled at him, he was confused, but smiled back.

Almost all of the Mystic Falls group including Hayley, were perplexed and in awe of how well Caroline and Kol got along, they were just like brothers and sisters...in law at least. Actual siblings would have been weird, since Caroline and Klaus were dating.

Elena nudged Damon as she saw Klaus feeding Caroline some of his duck, to which she giggled. Neither was happy with Blondie's choice in who she had fallen in love with, but neither could say anything even if they wanted to, it was Klaus after all.

There was a lot of small talk, before dessert. When the dessert of tiramisu was finally served, Elijah spoke up. "Well, that is enough small talk, even for me." He was about to continue when he was interrupted by Katherine giggling. It was extremely obvious that something was going on, to those who didn't know and even more disturbing to those who did. Elijah gave a genuine smile to Katherine, and then continued to speak, ignoring the glare he and his Katerina were getting from Hayley.

"Well, we should all really address the matter of our parents, who are as of a few weeks ago, intent on killing us all, as once an original dies, everyone from his or her blood line dies along with them. We have decided to call you and let you stay here because of the lovely Miss Forbes and Mr Salvatore's suggestions in inviting you here, they both love and trust you all, with their whole hearts and I hope that we can all manage to at least tolerate each other for their sakes as they are both very important to us all." Elijah said with a smile directed to Caroline and Stefan, who returned the smile ever so graciously.

As Elijah was talking Caroline could feel a certain original hybrids hand getting further and further up her leg, she resisted the impulse to let out a giggle, instead she grabbed his hand and rubbed it with her thumb, then said ever so quietly that most of the vampires concentrating on Elijah wouldn't hear: "Stop that otherwise no more fun for you." With that Klaus quickly put his hands behind his back very obviously and exaggerated the action, so Caroline could see how much he wanted to have fun, she giggled at his actions, only to see Elijah staring at her with a confused smile and everyone else looking at her with utmost confusion, she turned to Klaus and glared at him, but stopped when she saw his boyish dimples. She sighed and turned her attention to Elena who was shaking her head to Damon, she rolled her eyes and returned to listen to Elijah, ignoring Klaus smiling at her.

"Anyway, as I have just said, our main plan was to get as many vampires and super natural's who we could trust to help us, we didn't get much further because of all of the bickering and well..." Elijah said laughing as he looked at Caroline smiling at Klaus who was smiling back at her; they were both oblivious to everyone staring at them. "Well that." Elijah finished.

"So, I'm sorry Elijah, but you called all of us here, because you thought there would be less bickering, because I can promise you that there will be more." Elena said laughing.

"No, Miss Gilbert, my intention was for a more varied set of opinions, which I am sure and certain will all be taken on board in the final plan." Elijah finished again with a smile, he looked down to see Katherine glaring at Damon who was doing the same back, he sat down and held her hand, brought it up to his lips and kissed.

"Katerina, my love, you know that I love you with all my heart, but please ignore Mr Salvatore, be the bigger woman, who I know you are." Elijah said with a cheeky grin, which was not helping to hide the hidden subtext under his words.

"Ew, I feel sick, Elijah, please don't flirt in front of us, we have bigger problems to deal with, rather than being sick." Rebekah said with a laugh, as Kol busted into tears of laughter.

"Now sister, brother, take a leaf out of Niklaus' book, he has no problem." Elijah said smiling to Katherine.

"Lijah, he has no problem because, A, if he did Caroline would make sure that he didn't say anything, we've all heard her threats." Kol said with a perverted smile towards Caroline, again she rolled her eyes as she stroked Klaus' hand under the table.

"And B, Nik, knows that he can't say anything because he knows that his and Caroline's nights... as you'd call them are loud and annoying enough, he wouldn't want us all to turn on him because he knows that Caroline might stop them for a while." Rebekah added on to her brother's comment.

"Wow, too much information there you two." Katherine said before sipping her wine.

"Well, I am going to get some more wine, Rebekah, care to join me?" Caroline asked annoyed.

"Of course, Caroline." Rebekah said as she followed the other blonde to the wine cellar.

When they had reached the wine cellar, they were aware that the others could here them, but continued to talk anyway.

"Really?" Caroline said with a laugh. "You wanted to tell everyone about mine and Klaus' sex life! You're lucky I'm not Kol otherwise I would have told about you and Stefan!" Caroline said laughing.

"You're not mad?" Rebekah asked, sounding surprised.

"Why would I be mad, I probably won't be able to you know stop him tonight with those puppy dog eyes, even with the girls night. Everyone knows we're going out, it's good that they got a warning." Caroline said with a smile.

"It's good? It's bloody lucky they got a warning you're really loud, consider burning sage!?" Rebekah laughed.

"Klaus likes pissing you off and loves how embarrassed I get when I...you know." Caroline said shyly.

"Yes, we all know. Just...try screaming less, 'Nik, Klaus, Oh God, Stop, No I just said that keep going..' We all hear you, it's not good especially with Kol being Kol, he's not saying anything because he knows the only reason he's not daggered is because of you, if he pisses you off then he'll definitely be in that box." Rebekah said laughing.

"Bekah! I do not sound like that, but it's cute how Kol's scared of me." Caroline said laughing.

"Come on pick up some wine and let's go up." Rebekah said smiling.

"You just wanna get back to Stefan." Caroline said with a smile.

"Well you're planning on, you know with Klaus on girls night, cut me some slack! "Rebekah said as she jokingly hit Caroline.

"I said maybe, it's just those damn eyes." Caroline said laughing as she picked out some wine.

"Suure, not because you're dying to, now come on Caroline." Rebekah said sarcastically with a smile.

Caroline obliged and started walking up the stairs.

"No answer I see, I was right!" Rebekah said gleefully. All Caroline did was laugh; the two blondes entered the dining room to see everyone stare at them.

"Really? Girls' night?" Hayley asked Caroline.

"Well, it is girls' night and..." Caroline was about to finish with, 'and that means just girls sorry.' but Elijah shot her a look to behave, she really was like his little sister. Instead, Caroline muttered her comeback, which was heard by Rebekah who scoffed, as well as Klaus, Elena, Damon, Stefan, Elijah and Katherine. The others didn't clock on fast enough.

"And I want everyone to be there, besides Tyler will be at guys' night instead of boys' night, someone thought it didn't sound grown up enough." Caroline said laughing towards Stefan.

"It didn't!" Stefan said raising his hands up, the two girls reached their places and sat down.

"Why aren't our guests here?" Kol asked his older brother.

"Don't worry brother, they will be here shortly, now if you could all retire to the living room." Elijah said before helping Katherine up. Everyone left their seats and walked towards the living room. Klaus helped Caroline off her chair and grabbed her by the waste, he kissed her neck and she let out a moan. "That was for saying, that I can't have any fun, love." Klaus said before quickly kissing her on the lips and leading her out of the dining room, towards the living room.

She smiled and followed him.

Everyone found somewhere to sit, when suddenly the doorbell rang, they all looked to Elijah who just smiled as he walked to the door, he opened it. Nobody could hear anything so waited until the guests entered the room.

"Marcel?" Rebekah asked.

"Hello, Rebekah. Hi everyone, I'm Marcel." Marcel replied charmingly, he shook hands all around the room and so did Cami, Davina and Josh, he was last to greet Klaus and Caroline, when he finally reached them, he stopped and stared at Caroline who had her legs over both of Klaus' using him as a rest. He smiled and looked to her.

"Hi, I'm Marcel. Marcel Gerard" He told her with a smile, which was immediately returned by the beautiful woman in front of him, he had seen her drawings and sketches in Klaus' study, he remembered because Rebekah had told him not to ask Klaus about them.

"I'm Caroline. Caroline Forbes it's a pleasure to meet you Marcel." Caroline said as she gave him a smile, she would have gotten up to greet him, but Klaus' hold on her waist was very strong. Marcel smiled.

"The pleasure's all mine." He replied before diverting his attention to Klaus.

"Hi, Klaus, long time no see." Marcel said with a smile, surprisingly Klaus returned it as he actually stood up and hugged his old friend; they smiled at each other before Marcel went to sit down next to Caroline. He studied the blonde, she was beautiful and had managed to win the heart of the original hybrid, he had heard about the power she had over him and smiled as he saw Klaus smile at her, he kissed her forehead before looking to Elijah.

"Hello, now you will all be welcome to stay here tonight, before we begin planning tomorrow, but luckily for you it is girls' night and guys' night, thanks to Miss Forbes, the girls will be in the living room for the whole night, the guys, anywhere else according to Caroline." Elijah said as he noticed Caroline raise her eyebrow.

"Everyone please get ready and girls come down in an hour, same for guys." Caroline said before standing up.

"It was nice meeting you all, but I have some planning to do, so excuse me, a pleasure meeting all of you." Caroline said with a radiant smile before walking out with Klaus, most knew what they were going to do, but stopped thinking about it because it was mentally scarring opt think about. The same went for Elijah and Katherine as well as Stefan and Rebekah, the rest were too embarrassed to do anything in Klaus' house.

They were all in for a tiring night.
