Chapter 10

It was another day at school when Rebekah heard about a dance that was going to be happening-a decade dance to be precise and it seemed interesting enough.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea." She was enthused about it as she told Stefan who was holding her hand amidst the whispers that Stefan had cheated on Elena with Rebekah only for Elena to tell them that they broke up before he met said blonde.

"Just because we had dated barely a year doesn't mean that you all have the right to accuse him of something that he didn't do!" Everyone ended up backing away from her when she spoke like that when they realized that she was being honest about it.

"It does," he agreed and as he turned to look at her a small smile graced his lips. "Miss Mikaelson-would you do me the honor of being my date to the dance?" She nodded and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him right in the middle of the hallway. The sounds of clapping made them pull away and stare at the three girls along with Matt-the boy from the Grill who was nice to her.

"SHOPPING TIME!" Caroline squealed loudly, making Elena roll her eyes fondly at her and Bonnie give her a glare as her eardrums were hurting now. Matt laughed and gave Stefan a high five.

"Just treat her right man," he cautioned. "Just treat her right and it'll be smooth sailing."

Shopping was becoming Rebekah's favorite thing to do. Bonnie was busy dealing with someone named Abby and Caroline was helping her mother Liz with preparing dinner so it was just her and Elena. Elena was holding up two different 1920s style flapper dresses, trying to decide which ones would be good for her to wear. Rebekah cocked her head to the side and pointed to the white one.

"It will look good on you." She told the brunette when a raven haired man appeared with a curious look on his face.

"I half expected you to be here with Elijah-not Barbie Klaus." He said as he leaned on one of the racks where the dresses were.

Elena rolled her eyes. "Leave me alone Damon."

Rebekah gave Elena a curious look and before Damon could open his mouth, Elena spoke.

"This is Stefan's manwhore older brother Damon who just loves causing trouble and chaos." Rebekah now recognized the name of the man who had accused her new friend of being a 'strumpet'.

"Stefan's never mentioned his brother and I now know why." She mused out loud for the two to hear. "He is not very nice."

Damon snarled at her. "I know what game you and your freak family are playing." Elena went over to him and it looked like she was going to hug him but the slight glint of a cylindrical object in her hand shed doubt on that. She moved away with it now fully seen for her eyes as Damon fell to the ground in a heap.

"I'm going to be quoting Klaus now." She told her and cleared her throat as she put on the best British accent that she's ever heard. "There now-sleeping like a baby."

Rebekah found it hilarious and couldn't stop the laughter from coming forth, with Elena following behind her.

VVVVV

"Seriously," Elena grunted as she and Rebekah dragged a still drugged and sleeping Damon back to the boardinghouse. "How much does he weigh?"

"Maybe it is just muscle?" Rebekah said softly but Elena gave a giggle.

"Maybe." The doppelganger concurred. The two decided to leave him at the front door and run away from the building, got into the car and Elena drove off back to the mansion.

VVVVV

Elijah opened the door where he saw his little sister with shopping bags in her hands while the doppelganger also had the same amount of bags in hers. Earlier, he had seen Elena leave the house in a pair of blue jeans, something called Converse tennis shoes and a light grey short sleeved shirt but now, she was in a pair of black low heeled ankle boots and a strapless powder blue dress that reached her knees. He felt something get caught in his throat and she was blushing prettily.

"We've gone shopping for the decade dance as well as a new wardrobe for myself," she gave Rebekah a playful glare, "we ran into Damon again and now here we are."

"Elena Gilbert!" Caroline shrieked as she appeared. "What on Earth-" she couldn't stop gawking at her friend who was in something that she's never seen her in.

"So…do I look good or should I just change out of this?" she asked, looking at the two nervously. Caroline was still gaping while Elijah managed to clear his throat.

"You look lovely sweet Elena," he got out before kissing his sister's cheek and placing one on Elena's forehead. "I must…run now."

He just flashed right passed them, into the woods.

Rebekah lay in her bed, trying to sleep when the worst headache caused her to scream in pain as she held her head in her hands.

Almost at once, her three brothers went into the room and started to comfort her when she opened her eyes and whispered the two words that made them stare at her in shock.

"I remember."
