Back inside the basement, Elena was taken over by the pulsating music. Her candy jewelry bounced against her chest as she skipped around the floor. She found her blonde best friend twirling around in a circle. She was grinning madly, sweaty hair stuck to her face. This was the Caroline that she loved most, she was up for anything and not so bitchy. She was 'out of her body', just like lyric in the song, they loved so much.

As Elena made her way over, the lights flashed in her eyes, she realized the moment was grand. All at once, she felt infinitely happy, like nothing could ever go wrong. Caroline greeted Elena with a fierce hug. Elena laughed because she felt like it. Caroline laughed back, because it was the thing to do. "You love this!" Elena exclaimed.

"I love this!" Caroline threw her arms in the air.

"Exactly. Just wanted to find you."

"You did!"

Elena laughed again. Caroline was so fucking happy, it was infectious.

"I'm gonna buy a whippet, I'll be back!" Elena walked against a wall, moving in between people to find Damon. He was standing near the bar with a drink.

She wrapped her arms around him in a mighty hug. She loved hugs. They felt fantastic! He kissed her head. She turned up to look at him and kissed him on the lips. He returned the kiss, but she deepened it. Kissing and hugging, the combination was priceless. It made her giddy. She giggled and Damon laughed, he thought she sounded hysterical. After a few more kisses and giggles, Elena unlocked herself from his arms. She looked around the room trying to see through the darkness and bright lights.

"Still looking for Caroline?" He asked watching her look around.

"No, no, found her, I'm looking for Nitrous."

A random guy overheard the conversation and interrupted.

"There's a seller over there..." The raver pointed. "He is wearing a backpack with a glow in the dark butterfly."

"You're the best!" Elena warmly smiled. She ran off in a hurry.

Elena bought a large balloon and pulled Caroline off the floor. The girls walked to where Damon was drinking.

"Hello! Hello! Hello!" Caroline greeted Damon in a high pitched voice. She sounded like a cartoon.

Elena couldn't help laughing. She was so cute.

"Let's sit..." The girls held hands and sat against the wall.

Elena took a hit and handed the balloon to Caroline. They both felt tingly and loose. Caroline took another hit, and another, and another.

"Self-control much?"

"Sorry! It feels so good." Caroline moaned.

It didn't take long for the balloon to deflate.

Caroline laid against Elena's chest. Elena ran her hands through her sweaty hair.

"You're so wet." Elena said in reference to her hair, but it came out sexual.

Both of them burst into laughter. They couldn't breathe.

"Everything okay?" Damon leaned down and asked.

"Yeah, Caroline is just wet."

Caroline choked in laughter and smacked Elena.

"That was a trip." Elena said with a dazed expression.

"Do you want to try that again?" Caroline grinned. "Or how about a slap?"

Elena sighed. "No, I'm good, but thanks for the offer."

Andy in new clothes approached the three. He gave a head nod hello to Damon.

"GIRRRRRLSSS..." Andy looked down at Elena and Caroline. "Look what I have!" He showed them the whippet that he was hiding.

The girls lit up like kids on Christmas morning. They tried to get off the floor, but they tripped over each other.

"Catch me if you can!" Andy chuckled and sprinted away.

Elena grabbed Caroline's hand and they ran after him at full speed.

"Fuck, your damn long legs will be my death." Caroline panted.

Hours later Elena was dancing with Caroline. She was a good dance partner. Honestly, Elena didn't try to dance with Damon. She was afraid to touch him, touching him felt too good and she didn't want to rape him. While Elena didn't mind being an exhibitionist occasionally, fucking on the floor was a bit much.

Andy got on stage to dedicate the last DJ set to Elena.

"For my BFF 'E'..." The crowd cheered. "As in Elena, happy 18th! You're legal now!"

Elena and Caroline went up on stage. All inhibitions were lost by that point in the night. It was impossible to stay shy in the dark environment. Caroline grinded against Elena to the heavy bass. The girls encouraged the crowd to sing along.

The girls shouted to the music: 'It's not what good girls do, not how they should behave. My head gets so confused, hard to obey. Because we are your friends. You'll never be alone again... WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS!'

The DJ continued to spin Elena's favorite songs. The room was spinning in a frenzied dance. Everyone was letting loose as the night neared morning.

Towards the end of the set, the girls were covered in glow in the dark silly string. Elena stopped dancing, when she got desperate for water. Andy found her at the start of the last song.

As the sunrise poured through the basement windows, the crowd thinned out. The lights were turned on and the DJ packed his equipment. Some people sat on the backyard grass smoking or finding rides home. Damon had watched Elena dance on stage until she got off.

He saw Caroline walking to the stairs. She walked like a zombie, completely exhausted from dancing.

"Hey... you." She greeted him, squinting her tired eyes.

"I thought Elena was with you?"

"Oh, she isn't here..." Caroline looked around.

Damon nodded no.

"Then she's upstairs with Andy, doing um, what is it called?" Damon looked at her anxiously. "Kitty Flipping." Damon's face almost made her laugh. "You know, getting high? Let's go..."

Damon and Caroline went up to Andy's master bedroom. Andy was sitting shirtless and barefoot at his piano. Elena was sprawled on the carpet.

Caroline took a seat on the piano bench next to Andy. Damon stared at Elena.

Andy looked up Damon. "What's up?"

Damon didn't respond. He continued studying Elena.

"She is flying on Special K. It doesn't last long." Andy said softly and played the piano.

Damon sat on the floor near Elena. He tried talking to her.

She put a hand over his right leg and drew circles on it. She did it like it was the most fascinating thing in the world. She continued to pet Damon, while moaning softly. The smallest touches felt incredibly intimate to her.

Elena started coming back into her body as the dissociative spell weakened. She was done peaking.

"Want. Hm. O-O-Oasis. Yes." She whispered.

"Oasis?" Damon asked confused by her seemingly random request.

Andy chuckled. "Sure."

He picked a song to play and sang softly: 'Oh, let me be the one that shines with you. And we can slide away. And I want to try now. I'm gonna make you mine now.'

"Awe, good choice!" Caroline watched Andy's fingers on the keys.

There was a sudden shift in the room's energy, Andy played violently and shouted the ending bridge: 'I don't know, I don't care. All I know is you can take me there, slide away. Take me there, take me there, take me there, slide away.'

Andy cracked his knuckles. He got up from the piano bench. "Kid, get up, I'm too fucked up to play anymore."

Elena groaned, but started to get off the floor. She experienced a sudden loss of balance.

"He should probably carry you home, if you're all, well you know what I mean."

Elena yawned in agreement.

Andy walked over to his bathroom. "Shower time. Caroline, you can come to breakfast with me, if you're not asleep when I get out."

Damon carried Elena home. She was mumbling random things.

"Good." Elena said as they entered her house.

Elena chatted away. Her speech was becoming coherent. "I want to rave all over again. If I stayed here, then I would be very happy."

Damon frowned and Elena noticed. With newfound energy, she grabbed his face in both of her hands. "I don't want to leave you. I like you way too much. Way much." She kissed him on the cheek.

"What about Andy?"

"Huh?" Elena stared at Damon. "He is so James Dean-like, troubled and we love to mess around. Of course I love him, he is fun, a great friend."

Elena traced Damon's lips. "I love... love... love... YOU. Just you."

She looked puzzled and walked to the bedroom.

Damon remained still.

His thoughts were racing. She loves me? What about when she sobers up?
