So I know this is another super short one, but I promise the next one will be longer. I just wanted to have one that was just happy and carefree Klaus/Caroline, without any gloominess to get in the way...I hope you guy like this fluffy bit, we'll be back to the gloomy stuff later.

Thanks for reading, and a big thanks to everyone who alerted and/or favorited this, you guys all rock.

I'm sitting in the front seat of the car as Klaus drives along the winding road, the top down. It's been almost a year now since we left Mystic Falls behind, and while there are a few people that I miss, I haven't been scared of my future with Klaus since the night with Damon and Stefan. We also haven't heard from them since then. I've spoken with Elena a few times and we exchange emails often, but we avoid mention of the Salvatore's and a certain witch.

As I sit and let the wind blow through my hair, I close my eyes and let the dulcet tones of Billie Holiday wash over me. Over the last year I had come to learn the she was a favorite of Klaus's, and had been someone he even considered a friend for a short time.

I look at him now, looking relaxed as he drove, one arm resting on the door, the wind in his hair and the sun shining on him, and I smile.

"What's got you in such a good mood love?" he asks me, glancing over and seeing my expression.

I shrug and continue to smile "I'm just happy." I said, and then cocked a brow "But come to think of it, we've been together for a year, and this is the first time I've ever seen you drive."

Klaus chuckles, not knowing that it's one of my favorite sounds in the whole world, "It's not something that I do often love, but I have been known to on occasion."

I reach over and lay my hand over his where it lay on the gear shifter. "Well, I think it's kinda sexy to watch." I said, making his laugh right out loud.

…

"I'm going back."

Klaus looked up from the sketch book in his hand, "Excuse me?" he asks me.

I walk over to the couch where he sits and lean against the arm rest beside him. "I'm going to Mystic Falls, to visit Elena and my mother." I say as I reach a hand out and lightly run it through his hair.

Klaus nods "Alright, we'll both go."

I smile and shake my head "No, you won't. You know that I you show up, the Salvatore's will take that as you reneging on your deal, and they'll come after you again." I cock my head and smile softly, "And I can't have that."

Klaus looks uncertain "What if they use you to get to me?" he asks me, and I have to admit, I've thought of the possibility myself, but I shake my head again, "They won't, because they know that you would kill them, if I didn't first." I say with a smirk.

"Plus I have a surprise I'm working on, and I need to go home to work everything out." I say, knowing his penchant for presents. And I wasn't disappointed when he raised a brow "A surprise for me?"

I smile and nod "Yep, but I need a little girl time with my bestie first." I say with a chuckle.

Klaus sighs and nods "Alright, fine, go ahead and leave me for another." He says.

I laugh and roll my eyes, "I'll only be gone a few days, then I'll come back here and we can move on if you want." I say, knowing how he gets restless if we stay in one place to long.

Klaus looks up and me and raises a hand to lightly brush my cheek "I will miss you." He says and I smile, "I'll miss you too."

Feedback would be great people! Thanks :o)
