Mystic Falls

(Damon POV)

"Today we should do something different, like go see a movie Damon."

"Elena, she wouldn't understand the meaning of it. 'Why are the people in that screen? How did they get there? What are they doing? Why are they doing that? That man should be arrested and thrown in prison.' No chance."

"Fine we'll watch two movies. One at home and one at the movies."

"You mean movie theatre?" She huffed and raised her brow in exasperation. I just copied her. I mean really, why would we – why should we take her to see a movie?

"Fine, if you won't join us then we'll do it without you. Maybe we'll even call in Caroline." She left the room with that.

"Elena! Elena get in here please? Elena! Fine I'll join but I'm not answering any of her stupid questions. I mean this is your idea." I said, following her out.

(Klaus POV)

I was sitting in the kitchen waiting for 7:00 AM. I smiled to myself. Tyler had planned quite the day today. We were leaving New Orleans… which meant we had less time but of course, as he was, he decided for a movie before we left I was just fine with that.

I had put them to bed, all of them, and then I couldn't remember how I myself got to bed. All I could remember was Elijah and Katerina. And that I had been fighting with Katerina. "You know I can't remember what happened last night? Why is that?"

"Maybe because you'd rather forget the fact that your brother spanked you for making him angry for the googolplexianth time in your life?" I rolled my eyes as my teeth involuntarily bared themselves. Katerina.

"Well aren't those some big words for such a poor pauper? I remember you when I first met you and I still know something that I could easily black mail you with. You want to know what it is my sickest of loves?" She scoffed at me.

"I was not a pauper! I was a noblewoman."

"Such wrong thing for the title. Actually didn't we make you a noblewoman? I mean your parents did cast you out of your own house, out of your own country and you had to come to Britain didn't you? You know, when you met us? And I think that with that knowledge, you should be happy I killed your family."

"Unlike some people, I don't hate my parents for their misdeeds against me, Klaus." I heard someone cough and looked, worried it might be Genevieve or Hayley, just to see Elijah giving us both some type of stern expression. Of course it wasn't the stern glares he gave me. I tilted my head to side, sighing.

"What do you want Elijah?" Katerina smiled at him and quickly went about doing whatever it was she came in here to do… cook breakfast? Hell no! I got up immediately and began to cook for my family.

"Thank you." He said, walking out to go get the morning newspaper. I smiled at his retreating form. Bastard. I stared at Katerina.

"I don't hate my parents Katerina, I abhor them. Not that you know what that means."

"I'm not stupid, I've been around to learn simple vocabulary."

"And there you go, you just agreed with me that you're an idiot. You said simple."

"What?"

"It takes fighting amongst others, a lot of it I might add, to get people to agree to something that you know they would never actually agree to." I said, putting the bacon and eggs on to cook for breakfast. Actually they wouldn't be eating too much here anyway. I mean really we would have popcorn where we are going.

I saw something coming for my hand and snatched it immediately. It was the sharp end of a wooden stake. I laughed, actually laughed at her pathetic attempt, I found it so amusing that I just snatched it away from her.

I heard a chair move and be pushed right back in, and after a newspaper opened. What is he looking for? He's always reading that thing. Katerina immediately went around doing her business, cooking the rest of the breakfast food.

I looked at her and huffed at her, to show who had won this fight and went to the stove to remove it since the food was done cooking. I heard Elijah sigh.

"I will not allow another fight to transpire between you two. If need be, I will repeat last night. Not another mean word to each other. Understand?" Elijah asked, sounding as if he were stating facts. I would love to snap at him but right now I needed to keep my composure. I had hot food in my hands.

"Understood Elijah. I love you." Katerina actually answered his demand. I put the food down to cool off before I put them on plates. While I was waiting Elijah closed his paper to look at me. I would not give him an answer. I could have the kids out in a minute, after all it was 7 AM now. I smiled to myself. I really had won this round, and what brightened up my day was I got Katerina to admit to being stupid. '…How on Earth do I win anything from that? That sounds absolutely childish?' My own conscience scolded. I was getting one of those and to make matters worse, it sounded a lot like Elijah, much to my displeasure.

(Tyler POV)

Yesterday had been fun, minus the part about having to stay inside all day until Dinner which we had at Davina's. I can't remember coming home but I was fine with it. Daddy must have had a hand in it. I mean I was in my pyjamas.

I had spent about half an hour getting the 'schedule' ready for today with him. I had chosen a total of 12 movies that I was interested, including one that I know Kol would love, before Daddy gave me an order of how to eliminate the ones I didn't want to watch and then I was left with three movies to choose from and one that I had thought I would love to watch I had removed from my picks. Patch Town. I was left with 'Barely Lethal', 'Club Life', and 'Where Hope Grows'. I had been given time away to 'restart my opinion'. I had chosen to watch 'Barely Lethal'. Because Kol had said he'd choose 'Where Hope Grows', or as he called it The Baseball One. Then next week I could choose Club Life.

Daddy had then given me a list of things to do in Elmwood, Louisiana. I picked out a few things, and then we had the rest of the day to have fun. I'd done all that after church but during lunch. We had lunch together, alone.

I stretched in bed, ready to have today. "Children, wake up, let's go have us some fun. Free fun." I heard Dad laugh before he handed us all plates. I ate my small breakfast and then I heard Kol speak, which actually caught my attention.

"Nik? Can I talk to you privately?" Daddy must have had the same reaction because he nodded before leaving the room and Kol followed. I tried to eavesdrop on their conversation but I knew it was wrong so I didn't. Instead I threw my plate away and washed my hands. Kai and Jeremy followed my lead.

A few minutes later and Daddy and Uncle Kol came back in and Dad stood by me before whispering in my ear. "Tyler is it true you had a change of plans?" I nodded and he smiled. "Very well then. I'm good at adapting." He smiled at me before leaving the room. "To the car you lot." We scrambled after him and got in the car before he drove off to Elmwood.

"It's 7:30, it will take 25 minutes to get there and then we'll watch a movie. Try to guess the movie mates."

"Grow Hope! Wait, no. That's wrong, that's not even a title." Kol laughed.

(Kol POV)

I had talked to Nik and I hoped what I convinced him to do would make my nephew happy. I practically begged my older brother for this. Which was hard to do. I watched the scenery finally stop at a movie theatre. I couldn't believe it, the day was finally, actually in action right now. Starting now.

"Out. All of you. Go inside." Nik said, herding us all inside. I heard him vamp off the instant he finished telling us to get popcorn and such, having handed us each $40. I smiled at myself. I had my own money, I had a theatre of my own in New Orleans. I was a play director. I walked up to the counter and ordered food and drinks. I got anything I wanted and finally had no money left. I took my food and sat down, waiting for the others.

They sat down next to me and Nik appeared once more and ushered us into the right movie room to watch the movie Tyler had actually picked today. Barely Lethal. What type of name is that anyway? I don't know but the commercials were beginning, my favourite part.

Then the movie began to play. How come I never get away with lying and she does? So not fair. Kids are funny. They think things they do later in life are disgusting. Oh. She is breaking her rules! She's not supposed to get attached. Welcome Vikings! I laughed at that one. So far my favourite character was the guy who sounded like Frozone.

Seating charts? Ugh I hate those. She deserved that… maybe? Hey, they just played her, that wasn't necessary. I don't get girls, maybe I should take high school girls up with Davi? She'd know what they really do. They are always being mean to her. They are so lucky she doesn't kill them. I stifled a laugh best I could when Roger's dad said intercourse. I thought this was a child's movie.

And there we are, a type of punishment for lying. She got kidnapped by her own organization. Oh my gosh! Truth serum?! Please, God, never let Nik get a hold of any. Ever. Oh, man! That is so cool! I love drunk kids, they are so fun! Note to self: Host High School Party one day.

Cool! Car fighting! I LOVE this movie! I wonder if Nik would do that with me. Aw… poor Rodger. Friend zoned for life. When the girls were going down the stairs, I wolf whistled and two other people joined, I ducked in case any one looked up here. Niklaus rolled his eyes at me before sitting me back in the chair to watch again. I smiled, laughing quietly.

Wow! Epic Save! I love the mom, I wish I had a mom. She'd be cool like that one. I love Harmen. That's his new name, since I don't know how to spell it. The lights turned back on and the credits rolled up.

"WHOO!" I whispered in Nik's ear. He smiled. Wow, she's still alive? Ooh. I hope for a second Barely Lethal Barely Lethal 2. When the credits were over, Nik pulled us to our feet before ushering us out. He smiled at me.

"Kol enjoyed the movie. What about the rest of you?"

"That was AWESOME!" Tyler replied. I smiled so big my teeth were clearly displayed through my lips. "I was just thinking it might be a bit more secret agent-y."

"It's about a female Tyler. You can expect nothing more from them. If you were expecting something more it should have been about a boy or maybe it should have been about the girl, just rated R."

"I notice there was a lot of cursing in that movie. Was that not rated R? I kind of liked the movie, but a bit too mushy for my tastes." Nik smiled. Jeremy nodded.

"I thought the movie was okay. What are we doing next?" He asked. I looked up to see Nik opening the door and shoving us all out the door before leaving himself.

"Get to the car and you'll find out." He smiled even more before following us and getting in the driver's seat.

(Tyler POV)

We were at the river like I planned. We were swimming around in the river. I was playing with the current. Dad however was sitting on the bank, watching us play, trying to catch fish. We'd got here ten minutes early and Kol was catching most of the fish before we could. Dad had said that, minus me, anyone who collected the most fish would get to decide tomorrow's events. I don't know if this was okay to do. I mean I've never done this type of day adventure before but anything Klaus did was definitely okay, to some degree. If he was letting us do this then it wasn't wrong.

I got out before the time was up and Jeremy did too. I looked at him before getting dressed again. Daddy handed us a ring each and I frowned. I opened my mouth. "What-?"

"Put it on and then give it back." I did as I was told and then I felt dry, my clothes were dry. I didn't have to use a towel or anything. Even my hair was dry. "Gen was nice enough to comply to my demand for a dryer ring. Give it back now. Wait, I mean please give it back." I smiled, laughing nervously, I handed it back to him and he smiled at me. "KOL! KAI! Get out! It's almost time to go." They groaned but got out nevertheless. They copied us, with Daddys' instructions. Then we got in the car and he began to drive off.

(Kai POV)

We were at a park now and Tyler was using the gazebo, that was deserted, as a jungle gym. "Hey! Look at me! I'm on the roof!" He called. I looked and saw that, yes, he was on the roof. However Klaus wasn't pleased, nor was he displeased.

"Ty Ty! Get down, now! We're not in New Orleans right now." He sighed but got down.

"Sorry."

"Don't apologize for that. You are a Mikaelson. You do what you want, get what you want, unless I say no or Elijah and Rebekah say no. Every other time, yes." I walked over to the pond and threw in a rock, making a splash. I smiled at Kol. He stuck his lips in a pout before quickly beaming, grabbed a rock, vamped up to the side of the bridge, and forcefully throwing the rock down there, splashing himself in the process. He stuck his tongue out at me, his wet hair falling down his face.

I grabbed a bigger rock and threw it down there before grabbed a bigger one. "Stop. Any more rocks and you will both have dammed the thing and the water can't move anymore. Which would cause flooding. But you knew that didn't you Kol." He replied. He threw it down there and then threw his hands up in defence.

"HEY! Last one Nik. I promise. Okay?" Nik stared hard at him for a minute before sighing.

"Fine."

"Thanks Nik."

So we played different things, each trying to be better than the other until Kol messed himself up, on purpose. "I'm bored."

"Hm. What do you want me to do about it?"

"To the car kids." I saw him get up and run to the car, sitting in the driver's seat. I laughed to myself as I got in the car myself. "Kol?"

"Teach me how to drive Nik! Never mind, getting in the back."

(Jeremy POV)

We were at a restaurant called 'Nacho Mama's'. I was having a fun time. Though very weird. Kol kept trying to stuff extra cheesy nachos in my mouth and I kept dodging him. When he missed he'd throw it in his own mouth. He did it about four more times before claiming the nachos as his. They were his.

I picked up my margarita, that Tyler had argued with Klaus for. I was happy. We all had one. I drank from mine, taking a few sips before going straight back to my own nachos. Soon my nachos were gone and I still had some drink, so I finished my drink too. Tyler had already had five. He, however, couldn't get drunk, or easily anyway.

When we were all done, Klaus moved us back to the car. I guess we weren't allowed to linger somewhere unless we were doing something. I sat down between Tyler and Kol and Kai was sitting up front with Klaus.

(Kai POV)

We were at another movie theatre. I don't remember seeing two movies in day, with both being at the movie theatre. Maybe one at home and one at the theatre. Then again, back in the prison world I preferred to watch movies in the big screen, I even got the old movies to play on the big screen. When you have 20 years stuck not ageing and doing the same thing over and over again, you learn to do a bunch of things you shouldn't normally know how to do. Like fly a plane on your own. I smiled, having remembered having Bonnie over for Thanksgiving.

We were playing arcade games right now, we all had $20 turned into quarters. The games weren't that fun though so I don't see why. I played a motorcycle game before I heard Tyler come over.

"Hey, I've got popcorn. Want a drink maybe? The movie is about to start so you should come." I nodded, put the rest of the quarters in my pocket and headed off with them to go watch whatever it was we were watching. Patch Town? Really? Boring name. I sat down next to Kol, he always did crazy fun funny things, kind of like me in that way.

The movie began, and the lights dimmed. They never actually went really. Ugh. Disgusting. I think this is a comedy. Hiding a baby in the floor boards? Isn't that a criminal offence? Oh wow. It's a musical. A dramatic musical. A horrible musical.

However, 20 minutes into the movie, I realized I was already beginning to like the movie. The cruel man, the people were actually cabbage people, and a whole lot more of bizarre information. Yuri, the bad guy was singing about being disappointed in his children… role play. How funny. Just like in Notre Dome or whatever, the baby gave away the 'parents'.

Definitely role play. I laughed once when he had a nightmare. He dreamed of Yuri taking his kid away, sitting next to him. "He's got his expectation of Santa all wrong." Kol complained. "Santa brings toys. Niky, I have a question for you when this movie is over." He said, laughing quietly.

Ugh. The little man doesn't know when to stop talking… isn't that a sign of being nervous? I laughed again. What a horrible impression that little Arabian man is giving off. Still, I like his accent. The man who said say nothing, told them everything. That's funny, but also kind of a cliché.

And he gets rejected by his 'family', just like me. Except I was rejected because I was the more powerful… and I killed them all. Except Joe. 'I would hate to be late to our impeding demise'. My favourite line in the whole movie.

The ending was weird. What happened to Yuri? Did he die? Or did he stay down there for the rest of his life? The lights went up when the credits rolled on and everyone began to leave, Klaus only got us moving when the movie actually ended.

"How did you like that movie?"

"It was okay." But I wasn't satisfied with it. It was a good movie.

"It was a musical Niky. Oh yeah. Niky?"

"Yes Kol?"

"Next time someone comes to our house for a visit can we greet them with a knife in hand?"

"No, that looks unwelcoming and we only want to present the knife when it's too late to escape, but shush. Don't tell anyone." He joked. Kol laughed. "What about you two? Kol did you like it or not?"

"It was a bit dark for my tastes but it was an awesome movie."

"Creepy."

"At least it wasn't a horror movie, you'd be going home with nightmares." Tyler laughed at his own joke and Jeremy glared at him.

"I can watch a horror movie."

"My life is a horror movie ran by me, Kol Mikaelson. Or maybe I should say Mikey-son." Klaus groaned as he led us back to the car. I got in the back again.

"Kol, do me a favour."

"Okay Nik, it depends on what it is."

"Never say that name again. Mikey. I still remember where you got it from."

"Really? Where?"

"It's what your mother calls your father for short."

"Hey! I hate my parents. You take that back."

"Which part?"

"Neither."

(Jeremy)

We were driving around, and talking, listening to the radio. Tyler had just dared Klaus to find the Orleans Boulevard. Klaus had reacted by smiling and then screeching the car to the right even though he'd already been turning left. Amazingly, we didn't die.

"WHOO HOO! More Nik! More!"

"No, please don't." I asked. I don't know why though, it's Klaus, he's more likely to give Kol what he wants, not me. I was surprised by Klaus however.

"No Kol. I will not do something like that again. I don't need being arrested or caught by a cop. Not that I couldn't fix it but still. I won't because we have two humans in the car and if the car gets-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. They could die. I know."

"I would have expected you to be more concerned Kol. Your friends Jeremy and Kai are human. Especially Jeremy. You made friends with him even though I sent you there to kill him. I mean in what way does 'kill him' translate into 'befriend him'? I mean if you had just listened to me in the first place, you wouldn't be dead… I mean you wouldn't have been killed." He laughed at himself. Kol joined.

"Oh Nik. Admit it. You love me."

"I have never denied it little brother. Never in my life. Except maybe in the 15th century. I am not to be held accountable for my misdeeds at that time though, that would not be fair. Would it?"

"Yes, Elijah says you are always responsible for your behaviour, whether or not your emotions are off or not."

I watched the scenery go by and in minutes we were at the road named Orleans Boulevard. I smiled. Klaus stopped the car before turning it around and heading back off. "We're going home now. We need to get to dinner. We are eating at home this time. We are eating the food that the females at home have cooked for us… unless said female is Katerina Petrova. Never eat food cooked by her. She loves to poison the food."

"Nik, I like eating poison."

"Well thankfully I had you guys eat lots of food at the movies already."

"Oh. Well then that explains why I'm feeling particularly hungry right now."

(Kol POV)

We were sitting at the table and Elijah and Finn were having fun talking to each other. I jumped in my seat and Elijah looked at me, smiling. "Elijah, I have an idea."

"What is that Kol?"

"When are we having guests again?" He lifted his gaze from me, thinking. He looked back at me, still smiling.

"I honestly have no idea about that Kol. Why do you ask?"

"Can we invite them inside with knife in hand?" Elijah's smile dropped and I just smiled.

"Kol, I've said no already, asking Elijah or Finn will not give you a different answer. In fact it is quite the opposite. Now be quiet and eat your dinner." I sighed in defeat and began to eat my food. When it was gone he sent us out of the room to go have some fun.

(Kai POV)

We were just finishing 'Teen Titans Go!' when I got bored and pulled out my phone. I pulled up my sister's phone number and began to think. What could I possibly say to creep her out this time? I already did the one about looking at her, or whatever.

'Hello ;)'

'Who is this?'

'This is your heavenly angel. ;)'

'This is the wrong number. I'm sorry. Have a nice day.'

'Oh come on, don't be like that darling. :)' I didn't get a response back. I sighed. What was the fun in this again?

"I'm bored." I complained, however not in a whining tone or whatever, it was just a statement. They nodded and Kol grinned.

"I've an idea mates. Wait one minute."

(Kol POV)

I set up the game and then went and got them. I dragged them and put them in their proper seats. I was disappointed we didn't get to watch three movies but it was okay. I'd pick Club Life and Where Hope Grows tomorrow. I had won the game of 'collect fish'.

"Kol, we already played this game." Jer complained.

"Wrong, this is Jumbling Towers. And no we didn't play Jenga. We put it up before we even started. Very boring. So the rules are don't make it fall. And the youngest goes first, proceed anti-clockwise. If you move a block, put it back on top in the same fashion presented before you. If you have changed your mind about that brick, then you will put it back in it's original position. Understood?" They nodded, laughing. "So Jeremy goes first, then Tyler, then Kai and finally yours truly, Kol Mikaelson."

So we played the game, Jer going first and he took from the bottom first. He put it on top, like told. Tyler went next. He took from the fourth row and put it side by side with Jeremy's. Kai took from the third row. I went next, taking from the fifth bottom row. And we did this again. And again until Tyler took out the wrong brick. Which means Jeremy won… but I set it back up.

"Tyler, you're out. You lost." I said when I'd built it again. Kai pulled his out too roughly. I believe we're getting good at this game though, because the tower had gone higher than it was before when Tyler was playing. "Kai is in third place. Come on Jeremy, let's see who's king of the bricks." Jeremy ended up losing, not because he took out the wrong piece but because he kept poking at it too damn much. However, I did not state my opinion. "Good game guys. Tyler, thanks for cheering me on, it gave me the courage to keep going even though I thought it would all fall apart."

"You're welcome Uncle Kol." Tyler replied. I jumped when I saw Nik come in the room.

"Pick up, we're going to see a movie. At night, why not? We'll be back before bed time."

(Jeremy POV)

I got into the car and Klaus began the drive. Which movie theatre would we be going to anyway? I watched the scenery change, again. I really needed something to do besides this. When we parked, I got out and Klaus went in, dragging us with him, and led us to the arcade games.

We were able to play arcade games for about ten minutes, more or less, before he took us to the right movie room and gave us popcorn, hot dogs, drinks, smoothies… a bunch of stuff. I was happy that the food was available but I wasn't sure I could eat it all. I watched the movie commercials before the movie came on. The last one of today I hope.

(Tyler POV)

The lights went down and the movie began, and I began to eat my popcorn. This was the number one movie I'd wanted to watch. I think… Now I understand why Marcel was so big on throwing parties in New Orleans, they were awesome, like the best parties ever. Even better than the high school parties I've been to. Even better than Duke's parties. I'd have to talk to Marcel about it.

Marcel is definitely a club owner. I mean that man's rule says exactly what I heard Marcel did when Klaus left this city. This one was my favourite, 20 minutes in and I'm already sitting on the edge of my seat, the other two movies didn't make me feel that way.

By the end, it was so epic that I had to keep myself seated by force, I loved this movie. That is… I like it. This was inspired by true events. It's like watching Al Capone on the big screen… I think that's what he's famous for right?

The lights came on and the credits rolled by and Daddy got us all up. I sat for a few minutes before getting up. I wish I could watch it all over again. I followed right behind him and he led us to the car and got in, I got in shot gun and smiled at the scenery as it flowed by and we ended up at the house.

(Klaus POV)

I liked the movie, it reminded me of Chicago. Back when I had Stefan with me, and back before I heard of Elena Petrova being a doppelgänger and the news about the Curse's ingredients being put together. The others were in love with the movie too. I think we all enjoyed it. That movie was what impressed Kai. I was happy to make Kai happy today.

I parked and let them out of the car and then I got out and found Tyler had staid behind. "What is it Ty?"

"Can I- Where is Marcel right now?"

"Probably coming home, or already home having some of his own fun. You know while I make sure you kids have fun and get what you want, when it is of course your day to get what you want."

"But you still expect us to behave ourselves?"

"Who said anything about that? There's nothing you can do that I haven't already done. I meant to say, yes as long as you four do that." I saw him walking to the house so I followed him. "Why did you want to know where Marcellus is? You never pay attention to him before."

"I just wanted to know. I mean, isn't he kind of like my sibling or something?"

"He IS your sibling. There he is right now." I pointed at him watching us come home and he smiled at me. "Hello Marcel. How are you? You been having fun? Today?"

"Hi dad. Yeah, I'm having fun."

"Good, glad to hear it. Tyler, you can do whatever you want until 9, at which point you will get ready for bed, and make sure to wash your hair. I might have given you special rings but that doesn't mean that your hair was washed. I have to go, obey your own advice and keep behaving." I smiled at him before vamping up to Marcellus. "So what have you done today? We have seen three movies, swam in the Mississippi River, had lunch and breakfast and dinner, and we went to the park and a free roam drive. You?"

"Me? I've staid in the city, I didn't see you guys anywhere. You guys left?"

"Yeah. We did. We went to Elmwood I believe it was. Yep it had to be Elmwood. The movies we watched were Club Life, Patch Town, and Barely Lethal. Three movies all in one day, quite a busy lazy day I would say."

"A busy lazy day? What does that mean?" He asked, leaning against the banister. I could tell Tyler wanted a chance to speak to Marcel so I had to hurry it up, besides I needed to find Finn.

"I mean we spent most of the day just sitting down. Like 5 out of 10 hours, if you add the time together. So, today I reached a new record. Want to know what that record is?" He smiled, and I beamed back at him.

"What record is that Dad? What record could you have possibly beat?"

"Sitting still. I have never sat still longer than two hours at most. What's my prize? Am I right?"

"Yeah, you're right. If I were you, I would expect a prize for every single record I beat. But here's the catch…" I raised my brow, waiting for him to continue. "When you're so powerful, so rich, what can you not get yourself?"

"A trophy, one made out of gold or silver or bronze."

"Actually your power and your money contradict that." I thought about it a minute and then it hit me. I began to laugh, I laughed for a bit before I kissed his cheek.

"You're right about that. I'll talk to you later. Tyler wants to talk to you and I do not want to be the reason he's not obeying me."

"This time. You don't want to be responsible again." He said, laughing too. I smirked at him.

"What can I say? I don't obey anyone's rules, not even my own rules. Funny right?" I left him to go to Finn's room. He wasn't there but Sage was. Esther had brought her back along with Finn and Kol. I was happy about it. Unlike Katerina, I liked her attitude… kind of. "Where is Finn?"

"What do you want with him Klaus?"

"I only wanted to speak with him." I mock whined/complained. She looked at me, disbelief. I gave her a scrutinized look before sighing. "No, really. I wanted to ask him something."

"He's with Elijah right now."

"Tsk. Fuck Finn. Why is he with Elijah? I mean you are his wife right? You should know?"

"I only know that they were talking." That wasn't at all what I wanted to hear.

"Oh, right. You're not his wife. Your his girlfriend." I left, and the amazing thing was that she didn't even get upset with me. I needed Katerina if I wanted that reaction. I snuck my way into Elijah's room, the door was open, and stood there. "Finn?"

"What is it Niklaus?" He asked, his voice sounded annoyed. I would give him a pass because I have never intentionally seeked out Finn except for that one time about the blood spell. Elijah watched closely at our exchange.

"I wanted to know… if you wanted to watch a movie on Saturday? I mean I have free time on Saturdays. Children can entertain themselves on the weekends. So what do you think? Would you like to? I'll choose a movie and you could choose a movie, it doesn't even have to be in theatres, I could pull a few strings and get the movie you want to watch." That should get him right? Elijah smiled.

"I would love for you to do that. Finn I believe this is the perfect time for you and Niklaus to do the bonding that you never got to do with him. I believe I might even join. And Rebekah too, if she chooses to do so." Finn seemed to think about it before he smiled, actually smiled, at me.

"Yes, Niklaus. I believe I will join you to watch a movie or four. You don't need to 'pull' any 'strings' to get the movies. I'll take Sage and we'll go look at the stores for a movie to watch."

"And I might take Rebekah."

"I will choose my own. Thank you, both of you."

"Thank you." Elijah said and I quickly gave them both a hug, even if it did feel wrong to hug Finn. I suppose I have neglected Finn if I feel that way. "Go check on the children Niklaus, I'm sure it's nearly nine o'clock." I nodded as he gave me a hug back, Finn however made no move to do so. I walked out of his room and found Tyler looking for me.

"Tyler?" I walked down to meet him. "What is it?"

"On Saturday, can Marcel and I hang together?"

"Hang? Yes you can hang with Marcellus. Or you could give him company on Saturday. Keep his company. Why don't you go take a bath and wash your hair?" He nodded, yawning. I smiled at him before going to sit down myself. I sat down on the couch on the bottom floor and I fell asleep before I could help myself.

(Damon POV)

I was still watching movies with Elena, Bonnie and Lily had fallen asleep during this movie, at different points in the movie, and now Elena was falling asleep. I was just happy that it wasn't a horror movie. I mean she could handle those but when you're having a nightmare, the mind can do crazy things. Mostly a nightmare is your imagination being angry at you.

I looked for the remote to stop the movie before I caught myself yawning. I looked up, stopped the movie and picked up my sleeping girlfriend before carrying her up to my room. I didn't want her to get a crick in her neck or her back. I wanted her to be ready and happy to start the next day.

I laid her in my bed before going downstairs again, and this time carrying Bonnie to the bed she'd chosen as hers for her summer stay here. I had three weeks left to fix Lily, and it was actually working on her.

I myself was beginning to like her, but only like her. I would never love her as my mom ever again. I put Bonnie to bed before dragging my feet to go get myself in bed, yawning as I did so. I dressed myself for bed, or just took off my shirt before lying down in bed and turned to Elena, just so the first thing she'd see was my face when she woke up.
