I got a request from mycutehamlet and I'm going to update my one shot series. It's less than a month before Season 5 of TVD and the premiere of The Originals, which is also compelling me to update. Thank you for the reviews!
4x19 AU.
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me
Mikaelson Mansion
Caroline was beyond pissed when she pulled up to the Mikaelson mansion. That little bitch, Elena, stole the pink dress she was going to be wearing to the prom. Great, as if there wasn't any other reason to hate her. Other than the fact that she sabotaged the cheer competition weeks ago because she wasn't running on emotions. Since the prom was hours from now and she didn't have time to go shopping for another dress, she had to resort to asking Klaus. Hell, he had given her things in the past, such as a diamond bracelet, a blue ball gown, and even a drawing that she still held on to. Surely, if he could give her things like that, he could give her a prom dress that was equally as beautiful as the one that was stolen from the dress boutique.
The second she arrived, she killed the engine and walked to the front door, opening it and walking inside. She felt a strong presence, which meant that Klaus was home. The thing was, did he know that she was here? Only one way to be sure and that was to call for him.
"Klaus?"
No answer. That's weird, wouldn't he have heard her by now?
"Klaus?"
Still no answer. Was he trying to piss her off? If so, he was succeeding. Nevertheless, she decided not to give him the satisfaction that she was pissed.
She continued to call for him and then, she finally found him, with his back to her and standing in front of the fire place. Frustrated, she went over to him.
"Klaus, did you not hear me? I've been calling to you since I got here."
"Of course I heard you," he said. "In fact, I think the whole of Mystic Falls heard you, Caroline. I'm really not in mood for company at the moment."
Caroline sighed. "Look, I realize that you've got some crisis that you're dealing with, but I've got one of my own that I need your help with. Elena stole my dress. I went to pick it up from being seamed, and they told me that someone already picked it up." She heard him begin to laugh as she was talking. "This isn't funny!"
Klaus stopped laughing and there was still a bit of a chuckle to his voice as he said, "You're right, it's not."
Caroline scowled at him. "Then, why are you laughing?"
Instead of answering her question, Klaus decided to change the subject to what she had been talking about before. "You said that your dress was stolen?"
"Yes, I did," said Caroline. "Now, I know that prom isn't important to you, but it's important to me. I can't exactly show up at the prom in a burlap sack, do you? Now, I don't want just any dress. I want to look hot, like Princess Grace of Monacco hot. Having gotten a ball gown from you in the past, I have no doubt that you have the ability to make that happen."
"That's right, I do," said Klaus. "And might I say, the gown I gave you for the ball I hosted was positively breathtaking." He smiled. "So, my lady, how may I be of service to you?"
Caroline smiled. "Well, could you please go back into that creepy vault of family valuables and get something of royal caliber?"
Upon hearing her say that, Klaus said, "I'll do better than that. I'll take you there personally so that I can show you what I have."
Before Caroline could reply, Klaus took her hand and led her upstairs, where he escorted her to a room that housed many valuables that he collected over time. When she saw what was in the room, she was amazed. He had quite an impressive collection and it was unlike anything she had ever seen before. Seeing that she was impressed so far, Klaus led her further into the room and when they got to a closet, he stopped her and went inside to find a dress that Caroline would like.
After a few minutes of searching, he came across a white mermaid dress with beading. It looked regal enough and, with a smile on his face, he brought it out for Caroline to see. "How about this? Is this 'Princess Grace of Monacco hot', as you said?"
Caroline's eyes lit up the second she saw the dress. "Oh, Klaus, it's perfect! I love it!" She looked at him. "May I try it on and see if it fits?"
Klaus nodded and handed the dress to her and watched her as she went to the bathroom to try it on. He felt himself filling up with anticipation, eager to see what she looked like in it. It certainly had royalty written all over it, he thought. Fit for a princess. No, scratch that, a Queen.
No sooner did he complete that thought than Caroline returned, wearing the dress he had just given to her. His greenish blue eyes had a sparkle in them. She was definitely going to be the belle of the ball, that was for sure.
"Well? What do you think?"
Her question brought him out of his reverie. "I think you definitely look like Princess Grace of Monacco. As a matter of fact, I think you look like a reincarnation of her."
Caroline smiled and twirled around, giggling a little as she did. Then, she went over to Klaus and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him softly. "Thank you, Klaus. You're a real lifesaver."
"You're welcome, love," he replied, returning her kiss. "Consider it as a token of my gratitude for saving me the other night."
Note: Enjoy, lovelies! Hope mycutehamlet likes what I've done! I guess you could call this a follow-up to a one shot I previously done for this episode (Chapter 6, "Forever in Your Debt"), even though that one took place at the after party.
