Buffy wakes up with a smile on her face, her shoulder was still slightly painful but it was bearable.
Once she was dressed she heads out her room to see Elena and Jenna talking "Hair up or down?" Jenna asks Elena

Jenna holds her hair up "Sexy Stewardess" Elena says, when Jenna puts her hair down Buffy gives the next opinion "Your mother." Jenna's eyes widen in horror and she quickly looks in the mirror.

Elena looks over at Buffy, desperately trying not to laugh as Jenna continues to stare at herself in the mirror, before finally tying her hair back up "Up it is then."

Jenna finally peels herself away from the mirror long enough to notice that both girls were smiling "Well you're both feisty today" Elena smiles saying she feels good for the first time in a long time Buffy nods agreeing with her.
"Where's Jeremy?" Elena asks as she looks in Jeremy's empty room.

"He said something about getting to school early to finish a birdhouse." Jenna sighs realising how ridiculous that sounded, "There is no birdhouse is there?" Both girls shake their heads. Jenna looks at her watch realising that she was running late, she quickly waves at the girls before she legs it out the house.

Elena chuckles in amusement before she turns to Buffy and smirks "So how did things with Stefan go? Come on spill."

Buffy laughs "It was good we talked, I mean really talked which is something I haven't done in a while. How 'bout you I saw you talking to Matt at the party?"

Elena sighs, "Well I told him that I need some time. I think after everything that has happened over the last few months, I need to be alone for a while. I think it will be good for me." Buffy smiles at her cousin, they both then head off for school.

In history class Buffy and Stefan were smiling at each other, completely ignoring Tanner as he continued with his lesson "Originally discovered nearly 5 centuries ago, It hasn't been over Mystic Falls in over 145 years. Now, the comet will be its brightest right after dusk during tomorrow's celebration." Tanner pauses as he notices two students ignoring him "Are we bothering you, Mr Salvatore? Ms Summers?" Buffy looks up at Tanner shaking her head.

After the bell rings Buffy leaves quickly to head to biology when Stefan comes up behind her "I brought it. Told you." Stefan shows her the book.

"Wuthering Heights by Ellis Bell." Buffy reads "You know, I still find it odd she didn't use her real name."

Stefan smiles as he explains, "All the Bronte sisters used pseudonyms. It was the time. Female writers weren't very accepted at the time."

"Where did you find it? I'm not all with the knowledge on book stuff but my guess is that this is something that should be hard to find. It's old and dusty, which often equals valuable."

Stefan hesitates slightly "Uh, it was passed down. Through the family. Now I have a question you don't seem like the type to read Ellis Bell, so why?"

"Umm, my friend Willow in Sunnydale loves it and has been begging me to read it since I meet her. I thought reading it, would help me feel more like my friends are here with me now." Stefan smiles at her answer and continues to walk her to class.

Stefan was sitting on a bench outside when something catching his attention. Matt who was walking with Elena was telling her about "She said it was a vampire. Yeah, she wakes up last night and mutters "Vampire" and then passes out." Stefan's eyes widen at Matt's statement. He knew he had to do something and quick.

Stefan later heads to the hospital, to try and fix Damon's mistake. When Vicki starts screaming Stefan waits for Matt to leave the room then quickly zooms in "It was an animal that attacked you. It came out of the night and jumped you. You blacked out. It's all you remember." Stefan tells her as he looks directly into her eyes.

"It's all I remember." she says, completely hypnotised.
Stefan repeats his statement "An animal attacked you. You blacked out. It's all you remember." Vicki repeats what he tells her then closes her eyes and goes to sleep. Stefan quickly makes his way out of the room, as he was leaving he realises Matt had seen him. Matt follows Stefan, trying to get away Stefan goes into one of the hospital rooms not realising it was the blood donation room. He quickly walks over to one of the windows and jumps out before running away.

Buffy was sitting outside the grill at a table with Elena, Bonnie and Caroline. Bonnie was currently talking about what happened with her Grams "Well, I was talking to Grams, and she said the comet is a sign of impending doom. The last time it passed over Mystic Falls, there was lots of death. So much blood and carnage, it created a bed of paranormal activity."

Buffy smiles "Well I lived in Sunnydale for two years that town had the highest number of mysterious deaths and unexplained occurrences, so a comet, not that scary."

Elena smiles and Caroline turns to Bonnie "Yeah, and then you poured Grams another shot and she told you about the aliens." Elena rolls her eyes at Caroline and then turns to Buffy "So then what?"

Buffy looks at Elena as she picks up her drink taking a sip "So then a big load of nothing."

Caroline arches a brow at the blonde "You and Stefan talked all night? There was no sloppy first kiss or touchy feely of any kind?"

Buffy just shakes her head at the other blonde "Nadda. We didn't go there. We didn't even go near there. That place was on the other side of the planet."

"Not even a handshake. I mean, Buffy come on, we are your friends. Which means you have a duty to share the smut."

Buffy sighs as she puts her drink back on the table "We just talked for hours."

"Ok, what is the problem, Buffy. Just jump his bones already!" Bonnie raises her eyebrow at Caroline's statement "Ok, it's easy boy likes girl, girl likes boy, sex."

"Yeah, tried that once did not end well. Just a lot of pain and suffering and next thing I know the guy I'm dating, he dies. I just don't know if I'm ready."
All three girls look sympathetically at Buffy, but it's Bonnie who speaks "Buffy, it's ok to be scared but didn't you tell Elena that you wanted to try and move on?"

Buffy thinks for a moment, she then abruptly stands and starts gathering her things "Where are you going" Elena asks.
Buffy looks at the girls and smiles "You guys are right. It is easy. If I sit here long enough not only will my butt fall asleep but... I'll end up talking myself out of it instead of doing what I said and moving on. I'll see you guys later." Buffy waves goodbye and then heads off to go talk to Stefan.

Buffy arrives at the large boarding house and pulls on the rope by the door, which rings a small bell. When there is no answer she knocks on the door only for it to open slightly as she does, "Stefan?" Buffy steps into the house leaving the door open "Stefan?" she calls again as she walks further into the house. Buffy looks around stunned by the size of the house, suddenly she hears a noise behind her, she turns slightly and sees the door which seemed to be open wider than before, she clenches her fist and begins reaching for the stake in her bag as she approaches the door. Just as she steps closer to the door a crow flies into the house heading right for her, she turns trying to get out of the way however as she does she almost crashes into a man with blue eyes and black hair. Buffy's eyes widen and she quickly lets go of the stake and takes her hand out of her bag.

The man continues to smile at her and tilts his head as he watches her. "God what is it with people in this town not making noise when they walk, it's slightly creepy." Buffy says to herself, slightly annoyed by the fact. She arches an eyebrow at the man, there was something about him that was giving her bad vibes.

Buffy shakes her head "I—I'm sorry for barging in. The door was..." she turns to look at the door, which was now closed. 'Not good' Buffy thought. "...open."

The rather handsome guy finally speaks as she turns to face him "You must be Buffy. I'm Damon, Stefan's brother."
"Oh, Hi umm, sorry, He didn't mention having a brother."

"Well, Stefan's not one to brag. Please, come. I'm sure Stefan will be along any second." He places a hand on her shoulder and guides her into the living room.

"Damn." Buffy says as she looks around the large extravagant room, "This is your living room? My old house could fit in here, like twice."

Damon smiles as he looks around the room, "Living room, parlour, auction room. It's a little kitschy for my taste. I see why my brother's so smitten." Buffy turns to look at Damon as he continues, "It's about time. For a while there, I never thought he'd get over the last one. Nearly destroyed him."

Buffy looks at Damon confused, she understood a relationship almost destroying you but Stefan hadn't said anything about his exes to her yet. But then again she hadn't told him anything about her ex yet either.
"Katherine, his girlfriend?" Damon says turning to face Buffy who shakes her head "Oh, you two haven't had the awkward exes conversation yet.
Buffy looks away slightly uncomfortable "Nope."

"Oops. Well, I'm sure it'll come up now. Or maybe he didn't want to tell you because he didn't want you to think he was on the rebound. We all know how those relationships end."

Buffy looks at Damon "You do realise that relationships are not bombs right. They're not doomed to go kaboom." Buffy knew doomed relationships, more than she would have liked, but she had also seen good ones, like Willow and Oz.

"I'm a fatalist." Buffy was about to respond when she hears a slight movement behind her, that a normal person most probably wouldn't, she turns her head to see Stefan glaring at his brother. Damon who was slightly shocked that Buffy was able to hear Stefan, addresses his brother "Hello, Stefan."

Stefan ignores his brother "Buffy. I didn't know you were coming over."

Buffy takes a step towards him "I know. Silly me, forgot to call, I just-"

Damon interrupts her "Oh, don't be silly. You're welcome anytime." He comes to stand next to her then looks at his brother "Isn't she, Stefan?" Stefan glares at his brother who was rather enjoying himself "You know, I should break out the family photo albums or some home movies. But... I have to warn you. He wasn't always such a looker." Buffy smiles at Damon, laughing softly before she turns back to Stefan "Thank you for stopping by Buffy. Nice to see you." Buffy sees Stefan glaring at his brother and decides it's best to leave "Yeah, I should probably go." She turns to Damon "It was nice to meet you, Damon."

Damon smiles at Buffy, taking her hand "Great meeting you, too, Buffy." He brings her hand to his lips, Buffy smiles slightly at the odd gesture and then walks up to Stefan who merely stands there like a statue "Stefan? Stefan" Stefan does not say anything, he just moves to the side letting her pass, she frowns before she walks over to the door and leaves, as she does she can't help but think how odd Stefan's behaviour was.

"Great gal." Damon says to his brother after the door closes behind Buffy "Whoo. She's got spunk." He glares at Stefan "You, on the other hand, look pooped. Did you over-exert yourself today? Let me guess- Hospital."

Stefan walks past Damon, refusing to look at him "Someone had to clean up your mess."
"Well, were you successful? Did the powers of persuasion work? Remember if you don't feed properly. None of those little tricks work right."
Stefan ignores Damon and turns to face him "How long was Buffy here?"

"Were you worried, Stefan. Scared what happened with Mary and Katherine will happen again. Don't want us to repeat the past do you, but isn't that why you play your game, 'I'm a high school human'. Or are you scared I will tell her what we are. I mean she is from Sunnydale who knows what she was told when she was there."

Stefan continues to glare at his older brother "This isn't a game, Damon."

"Oh, come on. Of course, it is." Damon takes a step closer to Stefan "We both know the closest you'll ever get to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it."

"What kind of game are you playing... Damon?" Stefan asks as he faces Damon.

Damon simply shrugs "Guess you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?"

Buffy was in the kitchen speaking to Jenna and Elena "Oh yeah 2 major issues. Rebound and family issues."

Jenna comes over as Buffy finishes her sandwich "Well at least it's an ex-girlfriend, wait till you date a guy with mommy issues or cheating issues. Or amphetamine issues."

Elena laughs as she eats ice cream while Buffy pouts before sitting next to her cousin. Then Jeremy comes in "Jeremy." Jenna calls angrily "Where were you?" Jenna leaves the kitchen and follows Jeremy Elena just shakes her head while Buffy steals some of her cousin's ice cream. Buffy and Elena listen as Jenna and Jeremy argue then laugh when Jenna throws her apple at Jeremy's back. The two continue to argue until Jeremy heads upstairs.
