Chapter 37

Two days later they were in Ireland having enjoyed a brief tour of Scotland the girls were now determined to kiss the Blarney stone. Klaus smirked as he held Caroline in place so she could lean upside down and kiss the stone. His hands were on her thighs and suddenly his thumbs began to caress the inside of her thighs. She trembled and released a small moan. By the time he pulled her up he could smell her desire and he grinned.

"Nik you're such a tease," Caroline growled.

"My turn!" Rebekah enthused and Stefan carefully held her as she leaned over.

As they each finished they wandered the rest of the castle. Caroline wandered down a deserted hallway and stopped to read a plaque. She smiled as she felt the caress of hands from behind but was shocked as she turned around and found herself pinned against the wall.

"Kol, what are you doing?" she gasped.

"I'm helping you out," Kol said before his mouth descended on hers. Caroline resisted but Kol had timed it correctly and made his point. He was brutally ripped away from her and thrust into the opposite wall.

"What the hell Kol?" Klaus growled.

"Well I thought I might better get there before someone else does," Kol shrugged. He could tell by the sudden shift in Klaus' eyes that he had gotten the message.

"You didn't feel anything?" Bonnie marveled as he rejoined her.

"I didn't want to. I only did it to wake Klaus up; better me than someone that might actually want her," Kol shrugged. He grinned then before he pulled Bonnie to him and kissed her tightly.

"What the hell is wrong with him?" Caroline was clearly upset. "He's engaged to Bonnie."

"He was making a point to me is all," Klaus said as he wrapped his arms around Caroline.

"Tell him to use a PowerPoint presentation next time."

"Caroline, I know you wanted roses and candles or fireworks or…and you deserve all those things but I don't want to wait another hour," Klaus began. "Will you marry me love?"

"What?" Caroline's gaze flew up to meet his.

"Marry me Caroline and let me spend an eternity loving you," Klaus requested.

"YES!" Caroline yelped. "Yes, yes, yes" she punctuated each yes with a kiss. Klaus' grinned and even from a distance Elijah could tell that his brother was truly happy.

"I was wondering if we could go to Disneyland." Caroline phrased it like a question to Klaus as everyone was in the living room of the London house. "I've never been there and it was the first place that Walt Disney himself created…" she trailed off and the other two girls nodded eagerly.

"Before Isobel died she told me that Disneyland itself was a beautiful and magical place." Elena added as she looked up at Elijah with sad, puppy dog eyes. Elijah sighed, nodding as he wanted her to experience the happiness that the place would bring out.

"I'm game!" Kol sounded enthusiastic about going and Bonnie was happy with the decision they all came up with. "I've never been there-been daggered and all for a century." He added with a glare at his hybrid brother who held up his hands.

"I've never been and neither has Elijah!" Elijah nodded. He had heard of it but had never had the perfect time to go there until now.

"I'm afraid that we will only have a day to spend there and then we will be off to New Orleans before going back to the apartments." Klaus said, making the ultimate decision for them not that any of them disagreed with that.

They hadn't planned to go to Disneyland-that was a spur of the moment decision and if they all loved it, they will plan a few more trips there.

"I AM NEVER GOING ON THAT RIDE AGAIN! IT WAS ANNOYING!" Klaus shouted as he and Caroline disembarked off of the 'It's a small world' ride. Caroline rolled her eyes at him.

"The ride was made for cute little tiny kids." She told him when Elijah appeared with Elena on his back and Kol right beside him with Bonnie on his back.

"The best ride of all was the Indiana Jones one." Kol had a wide eyed look on his face. Bonnie nodded enthusiastically.

"You've never gone on the Haunted Mansion one then!" Elena chirped at them. "It was amazing and this one girl-probably four years old-went on it and she was laughing the whole way through while some lady with her was staring at it with fear and excitement!"

"Next ride we all go on as a family should be Space Mountain." Elijah told them. Caroline, by that point, got on Klaus' back and was smiling widely.

"After that we need to go over to California Adventure!" Elena and Kol said with enthusiasm. "Hollywood Tower of Terror, that rapids ride and maybe California Screaming unless you all also want to do California Soaring as well."

"All of them sound wonderful but we should also do the Matterhorn and Splash Mountain, the Pirates ride and Star Tours!"

The guys were each looking at their girls who had found perches on their backs and shook their heads. It was a good thing that vampires don't get sore feet otherwise with all this walking they were doing, that's what would be happening to them.

"At least the girls' feet won't bug them." Kol groaned before Bonnie hit him in the head. "Sorry but it is true!"

"Don't care-just keep on moving!" Rebekah ordered from her perch on Stefan's back. Elena rolled her eyes at Bonnie, annoyed as this was supposed to be a happy place and she was acting a bit grumpy as Space Mountain was closed (the only reason she wanted to come in the first place) while Caroline clicked her tongue at Klaus.

"How do you like this place so far?" Elena asked Elijah. He grinned as he looked into her eyes.

"I love it and it's even better with you." She smiled and kissed him.

Once they were all on a log for Splash Mountain, at part of the ride they saw all the fake animals looking sad.

Apparently, they went past the many signs that said 'Fifty foot drop'.

"What's wrong?" Caroline questioned but she didn't get an answer as the log went down a fifty foot drop, causing her to scream bloody murder, Bonnie screaming along with her and Elena just laughing all the way.

The guys, on the other hand, were drenched to the bone. Kol was staring at Elena who looked to be half wet and half dry while Caroline and Bonnie were shivering as they were nearly soaked as well.

"I'm all wet!" Rebekah complained as she was completely drenched.

"You okay?" Kol worried while Klaus and Elijah were making sure their mates were okay.

"I'm fine-nothing bad is gonna happen to me." She eased his fears while Elena was jumping up and down and Caroline was in Klaus' arms.

Another good vampire perk-they can't get sick.

"THAT WAS AMAZING! OH CAN WE GO ON IT AGAIN?" Elena got out as she was jumping up and down in her hyper state. She'd never done any of these rides and they were awesome. Elijah was staring at her and realized that she was an adrenaline junkie.

"Kol!" Bonnie whimpered in fear and Kol held her as much as he could as the ride was going up and down six times already-Caroline had been counting in fear but Elena was smiling widely.

She was truly enjoying herself.

Once it stopped its drop after the thirteenth one, they all disembarked and to commemorate the event, Elena had bought a few of their pictures to be placed on key chains and what not.

Needless to say, Bonnie wasn't thrilled about it.

"Let's go again!" Elena encouraged.

"I think once was enough for me," Bonnie groaned and even though vampires couldn't get sick she looked pretty green. In the end everyone had found something they totally loved about Disneyland and they had all expressed a desire to try Disney World sometime.
