When Saturday came around, Caroline headed over to the Mikaelson mansion so that Rebekah could help her get ready for the dance.

Rebekah had volunteered to help Caroline get ready and choose her outfit since Rebekah knew much more about the theme decade, the 1920's, than Caroline did. Rebekah even leant Caroline some of her old clothes that she had kept from the decade.

"I feel weird," Caroline said once she was dressed with her hair curled and her makeup done by Rebekah. "Are you sure that it looks okay?"

"It looks perfect," Rebekah told her. "Just like it should with how long I spent on it."

"You realize that people think that it's weird that the decade is the 1920's again, right?" Caroline asked Rebekah.

"That is strange, isn't it?" Rebekah asked innocently.

"I know that you used compulsion to make it the twenties again," Caroline pointed out.

"Well I missed it last time," Rebekah defended. "And if this is being my first school dance then I want it to be perfect."

Rebekah didn't mention that Stefan was also a big reason that she had decided to make the decade dance's theme be the twenties again.

When the two girls walked down the stairs to go leave for the party, Klaus spotted Caroline and stared at her in a shocked silence as his jaw hung open.

Caroline had to smile a little at his reaction in spite of herself.

"You look perfect, Caroline," Kol said before turning towards his brother. "You might want to close your mouth, Nik."

Klaus turned to glare at his brother as he shut his mouth.

Klaus had wanted to tell Caroline just how beyond beautiful she looked, but hadn't been able to get any words out. Caroline was always gorgeous, but she was especially breathtaking dressed up like a flapper girl from his favourite decade.

"You look stunning," Klaus said as he turned back to face Caroline.

Caroline had to smile a little even if she didn't want to.

"Yes, she looks beautiful," Rebekah said in a slightly exasperated tone. "We've all told her that, now can we go?"

Kol would have volunteered again to go with them, but he decided against it since he by no means wanted to spend an entire night with the witch just so that he could spend time with his friend. Besides, enough people apparently already thought that he was going to end up dating Caroline without him showing up there.

Klaus and Kol watched in silence as the two girls headed towards the door.

When Caroline and Rebekah walked into the school gymnasium it was already filled with other students.

As they looked around for their group of friends, or really rather Caroline's, Rebekah noticed Stefan staring over at her with a look that she hadn't seen anything close to from him in a long time.

She grinned over at him as she saw him dressed the way that he used to when he had belonged to her.

Stefan knew that he shouldn't be staring over at Rebekah the way that he was, but he couldn't help it. When she was dressed like that it brought back memories of the 20's that he had been trying not to think about. He couldn't deny that she looked good.

As the two girls approached the group, Bonnie exclaimed, "I've got the hottest date here, everyone else can go home."

"No, I think that Elena has the hottest date," Damon corrected, causing Elena to roll her eyes.

"I see that you're humble as ever, Damon," Rebekah commented.

"Of course," Damon said with an egotistical tilted smirk.

Matt had to work at the Grill that night, so it was Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie, Rebekah, Elena, and Damon there.

"So are you just going to stand there brooding while you watch your brother dance with Elena all night?" Rebekah asked.

"I'm not brooding," Stefan argued.

"Yes, you are," Rebekah told him. "You know there's this crazy thing that some of the kids these days do at dances. I think it might be called dancing. I think that they even have this ridiculous thing called fun. You remember fun, don't you?"

"I don't know," Stefan responded. "I'm not exactly the dancing kind of guy."

"Oh come on," Rebekah complained. "We both know that's not quite true… Just one dance? Someone has to show them how it's done."

Although Damon had also been around in the 20's his dancing seemed to be a combination of dance moves from whatever decades he felt like.

"Fine," Stefan said reluctantly. "One."

Rebekah began to grin as Stefan reached out his hand to her.

As the pair danced together it was like they were brought straight back to the 20's as they moved together perfectly with a skill that came from a lot of experience. Everyone around them turned to stare and watch them in awe.

When the song ended, Stefan leaned over to whisper in Rebekah's ear.

"A lot of the girls here do not look very happy with you right now for showing off," He told her with a slight smirk.

A big grin formed on Rebekah's lips as she leaned forward to whisper back, "I think that I can take them."

Stefan laughed a little.

"You look good by the way," Stefan told her. "Obviously."

It was obvious that she looked good dressed up in her 1920's apparel since she had always looked gorgeous back then. And of course Stefan thought that she looked good dressed that way if he had dated her back then.

"You don't look terrible yourself," Rebekah teased.

"Okay, you two have to give us dance lessons," Caroline said with a grin when Stefan and Rebekah walked back over to rejoin them.

"No." Stefan said sternly. "I said one dance."

"Come on," Bonnie told him. "You're at a dance. You shouldn't have come here if you didn't want to dance. Besides, you were there in the 20's. It's not fair not to share your knowledge."

"Please?" Caroline asked.

"I'm in," Rebekah said, turning to look at Stefan. "Are you really willing to crush their hopes?"

Stefan crossed his arms and held out for a few seconds of having all three girls look at him with pleading eyes before he finally agreed.

"Fine," Stefan reluctantly agreed for the second time that night.

"Okay, I'll be the man and lead," Bonnie said with a smirk.

"You think that you're in charge of this relationship?" Caroline asked with a grin.

"No, I just think that you're far too girly to be the lead," Bonnie responded.

"I guess that's true," Caroline agreed before turning back to Stefan and Rebekah.

Stefan and Rebekah began to teach the pair by slowly demonstrating steps to them while Bonnie and Caroline copied them.

After a few songs, Bonnie and Caroline seemed to be catching on quite well.

Rebekah was having a perfect time right up until the end of the night when she noticed the broken and longing look that Stefan was directing at Elena as she kissed Damon.

The smile fell off of Rebekah's face as she felt an overwhelming wave of misery wash over her. She had let herself believe for the night that just maybe Stefan still had feelings for her only to have her hopes knocked down with a giant wrecking ball.

Rebekah forced herself to put on a fake smile as she walked to her car with Caroline.

Caroline had left her other clothes and purse in Rebekah's room, so Rebekah drove Caroline back to the mansion while she desperately tried to keep her emotions in check.

Caroline grabbed her bag and clothes out of Rebekah's room and headed down the stairs, deciding to change when she got home.

"Have room for one more dance, Love?" Klaus asked her as she walked into the living room.

Caroline debated refusing, but decided at the last second not to.

Instead of answering, she silently put her stuff down on the couch and then turned to face him.

"I should warn you," Caroline told him with a slight grin as he took her hands in his. "I got lessons from Stefan and Rebekah, so I'm pretty good."

"I'm sure you are," Klaus told her as they began to dance to no music.

They danced for a minute before Caroline messed up a step and ended up almost tripping over her own feet. Caroline began to smile embarrassedly. It was even more embarrassing after she had told him that she was pretty good.

Instead of laughing, Klaus purposely made an even bigger mistake to make her feel better.

Caroline began to laugh even though she knew that he had done it on purpose. Caroline practically tripped over her own feet again as she laughed, so she stopped dancing and stood still.

Klaus stopped dancing almost the instant that she did and stood smiling down at her.

Before Caroline had any idea what she was doing, she had her arms wrapped around Klaus's neck and her lips pressed against his.

Upstairs, Kol walked into his sister's room to ask her how the dance had gone to find that Rebekah was laying on her bed crying.

"I take it that you didn't have a good time at the dance," Kol commented quietly.

"No, I had too good of a time," Rebekah told him as she sat up. "That's the problem. It reminded me of the twenties too much."

Kol wasn't exactly sure of what that meant or of what to do, so he was slightly relieved when a cell phone began to ring in the room.

"That's Caroline's," Rebekah said through her tears. "She must have left it up here. You should go take it to her if she's still here."

Kol felt a little bad leaving his crying sister behind, but he also figured that there wasn't really anything that he could say to help her so he was also glad to be able to escape the awkward scene.

Kol grabbed the phone to see that it was Caroline's mother phoning.

Caroline quickly pulled away from Klaus when she heard footsteps as loud as thunder running down the stairs.

Before Klaus had the chance to say anything to Caroline, Kol walked into the room holding Caroline's phone up.

"You left this upstairs," Kol told her. "Your mom called, but I figured that it was better for there to be no answer than for me to answer it."

"Thanks," Caroline said as she took the phone from Kol. "I should get home."

Caroline headed towards the door as Klaus watched her go in confusion.

Once Caroline was gone, Kol turned towards his older brother.

"You should probably go upstairs," Kol told him. "Rebekah's crying, saying something about the twenties, and we both know that I am terrible with crying girls."

"Rebekah, are you okay?" Klaus asked quietly as he entered her room.

"No," Rebekah told him honestly. "I'm really not, Nik."

"What happened?" Klaus asked her as he sat down on the bed beside her.

Although Klaus didn't fully understand his sister's need to try and act like a human and attend high school, he didn't like seeing her upset and wanted her to be happy even if the way that she achieved that happiness was ridiculous.

"It was fun at first," Rebekah told her brother. "It was like the twenties again and for a while it seemed like I had Stefan back. But then I saw him looking at Elena with this yearning look. A look that I know he'll never look at me with again because he's in love with that stupid doppelganger and he's never going to get over her."

Klaus knew that his sister didn't necessarily want him to say anything in response, but just wanted him to listen. So instead of saying anything in an attempt to comfort her, he just wrapped an arm around his sister's shoulders.

"And why wouldn't he be over me?" Rebekah asked. "It's been almost a century for him and he didn't even remember me for most of that time. It's only been like a year for me and I've had to watch him all over her for most of the time."

"For what it's worth I'm sorry about erasing Stefan's memory and daggering you," Klaus told her. "I didn't want to. I just wanted to keep him safe by making him stay away and I was trying to keep you safe because I knew that you were going to go back to him."

"I don't want to be over him, Nik," Rebekah admitted. "And even if it had been like a century for me, I still don't think that I would be. I just don't want him to be over me."

"I want Stefan back too," Klaus admitted. "But I don't think that there's anything that we can really do about it."

Klaus had already tried compelling his old friend back with no luck. He wished that there was something that could do to get Stefan back though, not only for himself but also for his poor over-emotional sister.

"Remember that time that you killed Elena?" Rebekah asked. "That was a good day."

Klaus chuckled a little as the tiniest of smiles formed on Rebekah's lips.
