A/N – OK two chapters in one day. Don't get excited this won't happen, probably ever again, but when I wrote chapter 9 and mentioned the fact that there was a brief brawl I had to explore it, because I really love it when Damon and Caroline fight. So hopefully this doesn't confuse anyone. Anyway – Enjoy! T-

Dear Diary,

God why does Damon have to be such a Dick sometimes….most of the time….ALL THE TIME! I don't know who he thinks he is. Does he honestly think that I'm just going to nod my head yes and agree with everything he says?! And then when he realizes he was a total douche bag he tries to be all Mr Nice Guy and totally bribes me with Skittles! I swear someday I am going to stab him in the eyeballs with tweezers!

Caroline tapped her pen against her lips as she thought back on recent events.

(wavy lines, wavy lines, cut to flashback)

"We need to get our hands on blood bags. Our supply is getting dangerously low and our local resources have been tapped dry," Stefan said to the group sitting around the large dining room table. Caroline looked around, seeing faces that she felt like she hasn't seen in weeks, except for Damon of course who was sitting next to her. Caroline popped a few Milk Duds into her mouth and chewed slowly as Stefan continued to ramble on. She swore sometimes that the only reason Stefan talked was so he could hear his own voice. Caroline groaned inwardly unable to take the incessant droning anymore.

"I think we should split up. We'll be able to cover more ground that way," Caroline said in between mouthfuls of candy. Damon slammed his fists on the table making Caroline jump in her seat.

"No effin way Blondie! The last time you went out on your own for blood bags I had to save your ass from becoming a Chinese buffet to a zombie. And what did I get as thanks? I got to drive you around for two days while you went car shopping!" Caroline glared at Damon as she threw a fist-full of Milk Duds in his face.

"I didn't ask you to play hero Damon!" Caroline screamed as she punched Damon in the arm. Damon growled low in his throat as he pulled on Caroline's golden curls.

"If I didn't 'play' hero, you'd be dead right now!" Caroline punched Damon in the arm again, this time hard enough that he was knocked right out of his chair. From the corner of her eye she could see Elena squirming uncomfortably in her seat. Rolling her eyes, Caroline failed to notice Damon jump back to his feet. Before she could react Damon pounced and was on top of Caroline who was now sprawled out on the floor. Caroline could hear Bonnie and Matt get up and leave the room as Damon wrapped his hand around her neck.

"Get off of me!" Caroline screeched as she pushed up against Damon with her knees causing him to flip over her, landing on his back. Caroline quickly jumped on top of him and punched him in the face.

"Ow! You crazy bitch!" Damon spat as he grabbed Caroline's flailing fists and rolled her off of him. Damon quickly stood, dragging Caroline with him and pushed her against the wall, pinning her arms over her head. Caroline hissed as she kneed Damon where it really counts causing him to suddenly double over in agony.

"That's enough you two!" Stefan yelled.

"He started it!" Caroline whined as she pointed her finger at Damon who was still crumpled over on the floor.

"She's a psychotic basket case!" Damon yelled through gritted teeth. Stefan crossed his arms over his chest as he looked at the pair sternly.

"Caroline has a valid point, Damon. We will have a much better chance of finding blood if we split up."

"Ha!" Caroline said triumphantly as she smirked at Damon who was now standing, but still hunched over slightly.

"Fine, but I don't want anyone," Damon glared at Elena, "crying to me when Blondie ends up being the main course at a zombie feast." Elena sighed loudly as she looked warily at Damon and then Caroline.

(wavy lines, wavy lines, end flashback)

"Hey Blondie, wanna do some target practice on some zombies?" Damon asked as he barged into Caroline's room. Caroline quickly slammed her diary closed.

"Ever heard of knocking?!" Caroline yelled as she struggled to discreetly hide her diary from Damon's line of sight. Yeah right.

"What's that?" Damon asked as he practically skipped to where Caroline was sitting.

"Nothing," Caroline said as she held the diary behind her back.

"Come on, let me see!" Damon whined as he reached behind Caroline. Caroline took a quick step back.

"Get out Damon!"

"Are you reading 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Blondie?" Damon asked as he wiggled his eyebrows at her. "You know, I always thought I would make an awesome Mr Grey. Wanna test my theory?" Caroline rolled her eyes as she side stepped Damon.

"First of all, you aint got nothin on Christian Grey. Second of all, I don't read porn. Third of all, get out!" Damon smirked as he slowly back stepped to the door.

"You seem to know a lot about the subject considering you don't read porn Barbie." Without thinking, Caroline threw her diary at Damon's face. Damon caught it mid-air. "Ooh! Even better! A diary!" Damon practically squealed as he ran out of Caroline's room.

"Give it back!" Caroline screamed as she chased after him.

"Never!"
