OK so I updated as fast as I could! Please enjoy this chapter!

Previously:

Damon pulled away and glared. "What was that?" He asked.

"What I gave the dog. I kissed her on the forehead." Elena said innocently as Damon tackled her down to the bed. She giggled and tried to get away. The covers came off to reveal Damon in just his boxer briefs and Elena in pajama pants and tank top. Damon started tickling her until the dog jumped on his back and slobbered all over his hair.

Elena started laughing even harder. Stefan backed away from the window and away from Katherine's all knowing stare and jumped back over the balcony.

"I told you Stefan, they're in love, but they don't know it yet. They're at the playful flirty stage." Katherine smirked at him.

"She just broke up with me and now she's practically in bed with my brother." Stefan yelled.

"Stefan that was three weeks ago, she has a right to move on. And they haven't even done anything romantic." Katherine snapped back.

"How would you know that?" Stefan asked, "You've been with me the entire time in Mystic Falls."

"I can get memories from Elena's mind. It's the blood connection thing. They've done nothing but flirt fights." She retorted before stalking off to the bedroom. "One day Stefan, one day soon, you'll realize you've always loved me, never Elena."

Stefan gulped, wondering if this was true...

Out Of Town

Chapter Nine: Spies for the Day...

"Hmmm.." Elena said as she woke up to the bright sunlight pouring into the room. She was snuggled into Damon's chest, as usual, but Tequila was on Damon's head. She really seemed to take a liking to Damon.

Damon groaned and said, "What's on my head?" Elena laughed and pulled down the panting puppy to Damon's chest. "She likes you." She teased a little.

"Well, she won't after I introduce her to Stefan." He threatened. Elena glared and said, "I know you love this puppy, you just don't want to admit it." Damon just shut up after that, giving Elena a smile of being right.

Elena got up and looked over to Tequila snuggling on Damon's chest. Damon tried to look uninterested but he kept glancing at it happily.

"Are you going to cuddle the dog or get her something to eat?" Elena asked.

"Hey, what about me, I'm a little hungry, and you look like you could suffice as breakfast." Damon pointed out.

"Just get up." Elena snapped. She walked over to the door and to the kitchen where she could faintly hear Damon whispering to the dog about her.

"Yes she's a little crazy, but it's a good crazy." He whispered to her before picking up Tequila and bringing her into the kitchen. Elena smiled at her and pet her head before filling up the bowls they had previously bought with the most expensive dog food Damon could find."

"You know, I'm surprised that she hasn't had an accident yet." Elena said as she started the coffee maker.

"Oh yeah... um.. when you were in the bathroom last night, I found out compulsion works on dogs." Damon stuttered and smirked at the same time. Elena glared and hit him in the chest. "You compelled the dog to be house trained?"

"Well yeah, I didn't want her to pee over everything!" Damon exclaimed. Elena glared at him again, and said, "It better not mess with him like it did to Caroline."

"Caroline messed that up on her own." Damon retorted. Elena glared and just shook it off, knowing Damon wouldn't give up.

"What are we doing today?" Elena asked changing the subject.

Damon smirked and said. "I'm taking Tequila to the dog park, and train her to bite peoples ankles."

"Damon!" Elena frowned at him.

"Fine, just to the dog park, and to get her a HUGE spiked collar." He smiled. Elena just rolled her eyes as the coffee finished up.

"Stefan, wake up, we have stuff to do!" Katherine yelled at him from across the hallway from the kitchen they had.

"Why? It's not even ten yet!" Stefan yelled back.

"We have to go and follow Damon and Elena, they're up and getting ready to go at the moment!" She yelled as she walked into the room, already dressed in black skinny jeans, a black top and gold belt.

"Why? I know they don't love each other, you're just trying to get me with you." Stefan snapped as he sat up from the bed.

"I have to prove it to you, you know once I start to prove something, I always do whatever it takes to accomplish that." Katherine snapped at him. Stefan groaned but got out of bed.

"Where are we going then?" He asked as he threw on a shirt.

"Apparently Damon's taking that dog to the dog park." Katherine rolled her eyes.

"SO just get ready and we are leaving soon." She demanded.

"You love her Damon, you really do." Elena insisted as Damon picked out the biggest spiked collar for her.

"Whatever, I just don't want the dog to ruin my reputation." Damon insisted. "Your big fluffy marshmallow rep?" Elena asked with a smile as Damon glared and grabbed the collar that suited Tequila. He placed it around the bulldog's neck and it sank into the rolls of skin and fat, making it look hilarious.

"That's the one." He smiled at the dog. Tequila gave a puppy smile then jumped on Damon, licking his face. Elena laughed and picked up Tequila off of the slobber covered vampire.

"Ew." Damon simply said as he walked over to the till and paid for the collar.

"You like it." Elena smiled. Damon glared and said, "Yes, I enjoy being slobbered all over by a dog. Just as much as I enjoyed your teasing last night."

"I thought your face was priceless." Elena smiled.

"Just stop resisting me Elena, you know you want all of this." He said pointing to himself.

"Or is it that you want all of this?" Elena asked pointing to herself. Damon frowned and said, "No, I think you want me."

"Whatever makes you through the day Damon." Elena giggled, not admitting that she was slightly, ok a little more than slightly attracted to Damon. In a few different ways.

"Oh come on, you want me so bad it hurts Elena." He said as Tequila practically waddled down the street earning people turning their heads to look at her. Elena smiled at her as they arrived at the small dog park in Central Park. (Not sure if there really is one...)

Katherine and Stefan were sitting on the bench watching Damon, Elena and their dog play. Damon and Elena acted like the biggest children there. They were running around with the dog chasing them and every once and a while Damon would tackle Elena to the ground and the puppy would jump on Damon in a way to protect Elena.

"See look at them and how happy they are together. Were you and Elena ever that happy?" Katherine asked.

"Well we never had time to be happy, we were always fighting vampires and stuff." Stefan protested.

"Exactly. You never considered taking her somewhere, like Damon did? Just to get away from everything going on?" She asked.

"Well no, I was to afraid that if we were to come back, the town would be in ruins." Stefan pouted. Katherine rolled her eyes and said, "You're so brooding, you know that?"

"I've been told." He said as he watched Damon and Elena running around again. They stayed like that for a few hours until they started walking back to the hotel, with smiles on their faces. Stefan frowned, he could possibly be losing Elena to Damon, his evil older brother.

"Go for a shower, we're going out for dinner." Damon simply said as they returned to the hotel room. Elena look at him with a cocked eyebrow. "What about Tequila?"

"I have a puppy-sitter coming. Don't worry about it." He smiled as he pushed Elena off to the bathroom with a smirk on his face.

So? Whadd'ya think? Where are they going? Was this a fast enough update?

Well Review and tell me what you think they should do, or Katherine should do?
