YES, LOVELY REVIEWERS, I HAVE FINALLY UPDATED.

Didn't think it was that easy to get rid of me, didja?

ANYWAY.

So, Writer's Block reared its ugly and very much unwelcome head. Don't be too surprised if this chapter stinks. :/


Meredith raked her fingers back through her hair. Has everyone gone insane? She thought, shaking her head.

Everyone's already insane, Merry. Thought we'd confirmed that. Cristian's teasing thought made her roll her eyes.

Yes we did. Doesn't mean this is normal behaviour. She pondered that. Usually, Damon and Stefan would have already slammed each other into a wall at least once, and Elena would have yelled at them to stop fighting. Bonnie would be screaming or something, and I would be trying to get a handle on the situation. She nodded glumly.

Well... someone close to you dying will change you. And dying yourself... that changes your perspective. He thought wisely.

Going all philosophical again?


Ari skipped in and sat on the floor -not because she was afraid to sit next to anyone else, but because she liked the floor. She beamed at everyone. "That went well!"

"What went w-" Elena started to ask... until they were all bombarded with the thoughts from outside.

Anyone watching would have just seen blurs as they all rushed to the nearest window overlooking the backyard.

For a moment, they were all dunmbstruck.

But then-"Oh my god! Yes!" Ari squealed. "I knew it!"

Everyone turned to her. She giggled. "I'm very good at making it so things that are supposed to happen, happen. " She said with a shrug.

And then all three girls were laughing and hugging while Stefan and Cristian looked on, still stunned.


Bonnie finally had to break away from the kiss, struggling for breath. She grinned up at Damon, who was similarly grinning down at her.

And then she tuned into the thoughts coming from the house.

"Oh!" She hastily pulled away from Damon and glowered toward the others. "Next time we do that," She whispered to Damon, "Not in full view of everyone." He laughed, but they were both blushing furiously, which seemed to be quite the accomplishment for Damon, as he was still rather pale.

Bonnie stomped into the house, holding Damon's hand.

"Okay! Whose bright idea was it to watch from the window?" She muttered, still blushing. Everyone laughed as Ari curtsied. Well, everyone except Bonnie and Damon.

"Not funny!" Bonnie protested. "That was a private moment... and..." She huffed a sigh.

"Yes it was very private, with thoughts being projected full strength." Meredith said sarcastically. They all started laughing again.

Bonnie and Damon exchanged embarassed glances. Damon shook his head. "Well. I'm going hunting, don't let me interrupt the laugh-fest." He kissed Bonnie on the cheek, -which made her smile dreamily- and breezed out the door.


Liked it? Hated it? I plan for threats... give me some ideas! Mystery villians of some sort! Please!

Review!
