Chapter 4

"It will never work you know," Rebekah said next to her. "Take it from someone who has seen those looks too. She makes him happy but whenever they try...something always happens."

"Like what?" Caroline wanted these two together just as much as Rebekah it seems. She could definitely see them working out together better than anyone else it seemed. "What's one of the major things and don't say 'Matt' whoever he is. Probably a nice guy but also a jerk."

"Well it's true," Rebekah shrugged. "It's almost like forces of nature conspire to keep them apart."

Something about that phrase made her think of the book she was listening to.

Forces of nature conspire to keep them apart but the noble knight wasn't so easily deterred.

"Maybe they need a hand in getting together. Maybe it's time to tell nature to let them be happy." Caroline demanded. "I don't care if I get struck by lighting or whatnot! I want them together!"

"I like your spunk," Rebekah smiled. "What is your plan exactly?"

"One of us distracts Matt and the other makes sure that these two get to actually go out on a date." Caroline told her with a grin. "Probably not the best plan but it's the only plan that I can come up with on such short notice. Next time, I'll bring a notebook and write out all the plans."

"I'm with you all the way!" Rebekah enthused.

"Do you want me to be the distraction or are you good with being a distraction?"

Caroline asked. "If you tell me what Matt looks like, I'm pretty sure that I can distract him good enough."

"He's blonde, has blue eyes and is coming right up." Rebekah whispered. Caroline saw him and nodded.

"Make sure that he asks her. I'll take care of Matty." She said as she walked right up to him and kissed him. Rebekah was shocked but she let it fade as she went inside.

"You know, Elena if you're not busy I'm sure that my brother would love to take you out and I can watch Jeremy." Rebekah told her innocently.

"I don't know..." Elena hesitated.

"I would love to take you for coffee," Elijah offered with a smile, "and my sister is great with kids."

"Okay but we can't be gone too long," Elena smiled.

"We won't be. I promise." He said and he kissed her cheek as she stood up to get Jeremy back in her arms. She still felt the lingering of his lips on her cheek and it made her smile widely at him.

"Do you want to come pick me up or do you want to meet here?" She asked softly.

"I'll pick you up when I drop Rebekah off at your place." He told her with a bright smile.

Bonnie was smiling as was Rebekah.

"Caroline, I'm glad you're here already," Bonnie grinned and Rebekah nodded. "Now we just have to hope it really happens this time."

"Oh it's happening." Rebekah whispered to Bonnie. "I'm going to make sure of it myself."

"How about I do that? You're on babysitting duty and I'm off today like Elena is."

Rebekah nodded.

"Fantastic!"
