Authors Note: hello readers! Wow, so I haven't updated this since May.. I'm so sorry to everyone who has been patiently waiting for me to update. Real life got in the way. I haven't even had any time or indeed any inspiration to continue any of the stories I have. This is the last full chapter I have done for this story.

Chapter Ten

Ariana looked up at the boarding house. The eight of them had left early this morning and piled into the SUV, a van driven by a compelled human following behind them with their luggage. It was now just after twelve and they had just pulled up to the boarding house. They could hear people inside and Ari rolled her eyes looking at Stefan. They knew who it was.

"Let's get this over with shall we," Ari said cheerfully, taking Stefan and Nik's hands and heading up to the house. She grinned, walking in, knowing that her sister didn't realize that since she technically died, her name of the deed became null and void.

Stefan noticed and chuckled in amusement, the others followed behind them.

"Honey I'm home," Ari called, practically skipping into the parlour.

Inside she found Damon, Alaric, Elena, Jeremy, Bonnie, Caroline, and Tyler.

Damon looked at her in amusement before looking at his brother, "welcome home brother."

"Damon," Stefan greeted his brother with a manly hug, "you all know Ari, Nik, Elijah and Kat. This is Finn, Kol and Rebekah, the last of the originals. Guys, this is my brother Damon, his best friend-"

"Who is actually by law mine and Elena's stepfather," Ari laughed at the look of panic on Alaric's face.

"Alaric Saltzman, Ari's sister Elena, their brother slash cousin Jeremy and his girlfriend Bonnie Bennett. And lastly Caroline Forbes and her boyfriend Tyler Lockwood." Stefan continued.

"Pleasure to meet you all," Finn greeted, fidgeting and looking around.

"What's wrong with him?" Tyler asked.

"He's anxious. Sage is supposed to be here soon and they haven't seen each other in nine hundred years." Ariana giggled as they all took a seat. She sat on Stefan's lap with her legs over Nik while Nik wrapped his arm around Stefan. It had become their usual position. She would choose a different one to sit on each time.

Kat giggled, "it's cute. Last time I saw her she was still pining after him."

"Oh she still is," Ari agreed, "I don't think I had ever heard anyone so happy they cried, until I called and told her we were waking Finn that is."

Elena stared at her sister and Katherine as they giggled together. She couldn't believe how close the two of them were.

"I cleared out four rooms," Damon told Stefan, "I figured Ariana and Klaus were staying in yours."

"Most definitely." Stefan agreed immediately, tightening his grip on both his mates.

The sound of a vehicle pulling up alerted them to an arrival. "Looks like our luggage is here." Nik said, getting up. "You ladies stay here, we'll handle it."

Ari stood to let Stefan up and pecked them both on the lips before they left and sat back down.

Caroline grinned slightly, "so dish! What are they like in bed?"

Ari giggled at the look on her siblings faces, "fuck, I wouldn't even know where to begin. They're both completely and utterly amazing. You know how with a lot of guys all they care about is their own orgasm?"

Caroline and Bonnie nodded, Elena and Jeremy looked faintly sick and Tyler and Damon looked slightly embarrassed.

"They're nothing like that. Both of them take their time to make sure I get what I need before worrying about themselves or each other." Ari paused smirking, "wait til you see them together Care-Bear. The first time I saw them kiss I was sitting between them and I swear to god, I felt like I had died and gone straight to heaven."

"It's hot," Kat agreed, "I love Elijah, he's my world, and as far as I'm concerned no one is hotter than him, but seeing Stefan and Nik kiss? Hot damn. And I'm not talking about the chaste kiss good morning. The five of us shared hotel rooms for the last three months. I've seen a lot more of those two than I'd care to admit."

"And Stefan and I have seen all of you," Nik remarked dryly, "these two like to walk around naked." He said, lifting Ari up and sitting back down with her on his lap.

The others gaped.

"We know we're sexy, why should we feel the need to cover up when we're not ashamed of our bodies?" Ari asked unfazed.

"I like your way of thinking," Caroline grinned, "I think I'll start that too."

"Now, what were you saying about Nik and I kissing?" Stefan asked with a raised brow as he came down the stairs, Kol and Finn following behind him.

"Katherine and Ari think seeing you two make out is hot." Bonnie stated with a mischievous grin.

Stefan chuckled, walking over to his mates. He knew what Bonnie wanted and didn't see the harm in giving them a little peep show. Putting one hand against the back of the sofa and the other on Ari's thigh, he leaned over and pressed his lips to Nik's.

Ari watched the two of them with a smirk, they seemed to have forgotten where they were. Nik's arm and Stefan's hand had both tightened, holding her where she was. Looking at the others, she could tell Care and Bon were enjoying the show. She was too. But it had to stop.

"If you two don't stop I'm going to take you both here and now and I don't care who sees." She drawled, causing them to break apart.

Stefan grinned, kissing her gently before moving to sit next to Nik. Nik kissed her too before apologizing, "sorry baby, but I don't think Stefan and I are up to a live porno."

Kat cracked first, laughing hysterically, soon followed by Ari and Bekah.

"Okay, okay. I really think we all need to sit and get to know each other. I vote for twenty questions, never have I ever and truth or dare as soon as Sage gets here." Ari grinned.

Everyone else agreed.

They all sat and talked for a while, Ari catching up with her old friends, before there was a knock at the door.

"I got it!" Ari grinned, speeding out to the door and opening it to find Sage on the other side. "Sage right? I'm Ariana."

"Yes. Is Finn here?" Sage asked hopefully.

"He is." Ari grabbed Sages bags and placed them inside the door before leading her into the parlour. "Everyone this is Finn's girl Sage."

Everyone intruded themselves and Ari stated that they were going to start the game. Immediately she and Kat gave out instructions, having played this a few times with the guys. Stefan and Damon grabbed every shot glass in the boarding house and counted them. Some started moving furniture while the others went looking for pillows. Ari and Kat gathered some snacks.

There were sixteen of them. The pillows were arranged in four groups of four in a circle. The snacks and alcohol were placed in the spots between to groups.

"Alright, let's get this organized."Ari stated and started moving everyone to a pillow. First was Finn, Sage, Kol and Alaric then a space with food and alcohol, then Tyler, Caroline, Bonnie and Jeremy, another spot with food and drinks, Damon, Elena, Elijah, and Kat then a spot and last was Ari, Nik, Stefan and Bekah with a spot between Bekah and Finn.

"Perfect. Now, do we have enough glasses?" Ari asked Stefan.

"Yes, apparently no one breaks glasses here. There's about six hundred shot glasses. Some of them brand new and in boxes."

Ari rolled her eyes, "of course. Everybody grab ten glasses and fill them. We're starting with never have I ever. I know when we were young you'd put up five fingers and put one down for each things you've done. This time, you down a shot. Once all your shots are gone your out. You can get back in by doing a dare. But when your back in you're one glass less and so on until no one can think of anything else."

They all agreed and after filling their glasses everyone sat down.

"I'll start," Tyler said, "never have I ever gone skinny dipping at the falls."

Bonnie, Caroline, Elena and Ari all drank.

"Ass. You were the one who dared us to in the first place," Ari mumbled.

Caroline laughed, "never have I ever had sex in my parents bed just to see if I could without getting caught."

Tyler, Ari and Elena all drank.

"What's the story with that one love?" Nik asked.

"It was a contest. Tyler and I versus Elena and Matt. We had to have sex in both parents beds. Matt and Elena had to do it at ours and Matts and Ty and I had to at mine and his. We had to bring back proof. Ty and I won. Elena and Matt got caught by mom. I still have the photos."

Bonnie grinned and went next, "never have I ever gotten drunk and had a foursome or more."

Damon, Kol, Tyler, Ari, Caroline, Kat, Sefan, Nik and Elijah all drank. The game continued this way for a while before everyone was drunk enough for truth or dare.

Kol took one of the empty vodka bottles and spun it in the centre. It landed on Elijah.

"Truth." Elijah said.

"This has been bugging me since last night, have you and Katerina been having an orgy with Nik, Stefan and Ari?"

His dead serious question caused everyone to laugh.

"A couple time." Elijah admitted, not at all embarrassed.

Kol gaped, "damn! I knew it!"

Elijah laughed and spun the bottle, it landed on Caroline.

"Dare."

"I dare you to choose one girl in this room to make out with for two minutes."

The game continued on this way for the rest of the night, and into the wee hours of the morning before the group finally had enough and everyone turned in for the night.
