Yesterday
"What the hell are you doing here?" Melissa asked Elijah
"I needed to see you." Elijah said
"Rebekah told you." Melissa said
"Yes." Elijah said
"I heard it all before." Melissa said
"I know what I did was wrong, but..." Elijah said
"You cheated on me with Katherine. How could I process that? You broke my heart into a million pieces. You thought that she changed. You thought that she was that same peasant girl from the 1400s." Melissa said
"I know that I hurt you. And you have every right to hate me." Elijah said
Elijah gives Melissa a piece of paper and took it. August came out to the other room and sees them talking. He approaches to them.
"What's going on here?" August asked both Melissa and Elijah
"We're good." Elijah said
"I wasn't talking to you." August said
Elijah giving him a look. Melissa get's in the middle and her veins appearing under her eyes and her fangs come out.
"Don't even think about it." Melissa said as she threatens Elijah
"He knows?" Elijah asked Melissa
"That's none of your business." Melissa said
Elijah looks at both Melissa and August seeing that there was more to the story. He walks downstairs and leaves.
"You ok?" August asked Melissa
"Yeah. You didn't have too." Melissa said
"I wanted too. (August notice something) Was that your british, original vampire, ex?" August asked again
"Yep." Melissa said
"We make a pretty good team." August said
Melissa rolled her eyes and smiled.
Mystic Falls Past.
Both Elijah and Melissa in the car at the woods.
"Why do you trust me?" Elijah asked Melissa
"Something about you makes me care. You losing your family cause Klaus buried them at sea. Trust me it's hard. This entire year. I was trying to look for my parents." Melissa said
"You'll find them." Elijah said
Both Elijah and Melissa get's out of the car and walks around.
"It's beautiful out here." Melissa said
"Not as beautiful as you." Elijah said
Melissa looked at Elijah.
"So why did you let me come?" Melissa asked Elijah
"Words can be spoken. (Melissa crossed her arms.) Tell you the truth. I fancy you. There was something about you." Elijah said
"Well you and the Martin witches help me with a part human/ part vampire spell. I wonder why you did that?" Melissa asked again
Elijah kissed Melissa.
"Does that satisfy you?" Elijah asked again
"Woah." Melissa said
Elijah wiped Melissa hair out of her face.
"If anything happened to you then I would never forgive myself." Elijah said
Storybrooke Present.
Today
Henry is on his bike, heading towards the castle playground. Both Emma and Melissa is already waiting there in they're squad car. When they see him get closer, they get out to greet him.
"Hey, kid." Emma said
Henry rides past them.
"Nice to see you, too." Melissa said
They catch up with Henry. The playground is noticeably damaged.
"The storm!" Henry said
"It's okay." Emma said
"We can fix it. I'll talk to Marco." Melissa said
"Do you think it's still here?" Henry asked both his mother and Melissa
Henry starts to dig in the sand near the base of the playground.
"What are you looking for?" Melissa asked Henry
"My book." Henry said
"Why'd you bury it here?" Emma asked her son
"So my mom doesn't find it." Henry said
"Hiding it under your mattress wasn't good enough?" Emma asked again
Henry uncovers red metal box under the sand and starts to unlock it.
"That's the first place the Evil Queen would look." Henry said
"How about leaving it with me?" Emma asked again
"That's the second place." Henry said
"Or me?" Melissa asked
"She knows you to well. (Henry opens the box, revealing the book inside.) It's still here. Good." Henry said
"Regina doesn't know about the castle?" Melissa said
"No. This is our secret." Henry said
Henry closes and relocks the box, then starts to rebury it. Behind them, Regina arrives and calls out to her adopted son.
"Henry! Henry! I've been looking everywhere for you. You know you have a session with Archie this morning. I should've known he was with you. Henry – car. Now. (Henry runs off, leaving Regina, Melissa, and Emma alone.) You let him play here?" Regina asked Emma
"The storm hit it hard." Melissa said
"But we can fix it." Emma said
"Well, can you fix a cracked cranium? Because that's what you'll have on your hands if one of these boards collapses under his weight. You're not thinking about Henry or his safety. Just ways around me. Miss Swan, don't let your feelings cloud your judgment. People can get hurt." Regina said
"What's that supposed to mean?" Emma asked Regina
"You're the Sheriff now – it's time to be responsible." Regina said
Both Emma and Melissa are at Granny's diner eating.
"Ok. Spill." Emma said
"My drink or..." Melissa said
"I know you've been hiding something. Just tell me, what's going on?" Emma asked Melissa
"Elijah is in town." Melissa said
"Your ex boyfriend cheating Elijah?" Emma asked again
"Yep." Melissa said
"How did he find you here?" Emma asked again
"His sister Rebekah. She told him." Melissa said
"You shouldn't have done that." Emma said
"I know. She's my friend and..." Melissa said as she was interrupted when her phone was vibrating
Melissa picks it up and she reads the text.
"Meet me at the lake. We need to talk." Elijah said
Melissa puts her phone in her pocket.
"What is it?" Emma asked again
"He wants me to meet him at the lake." Melissa said
"You need back up?" Emma asked again
"No. I got this one." Melissa said as she leaves
Melissa is at the lake and Elijah appeared.
"Alright I'm here." Melissa said
"Are you not at least bit curious as to why I'm here?" Elijah asked Melissa
"That you still have feelings for me?" Melissa asked Elijah
"Yes." Elijah said
Melissa superspeeds away from Elijah and ended up in the forest. As do Elijah.
"Can't you just give up?" Melissa asked again
"Would you give me the same choice." Elijah said
"What choice?" Melissa asked again
"If you abandon me with your ex..." Elijah said as Melissa cuts him off
"No. Don't do that. Don't point this on me." Melissa said
"I came to Storybrooke for you. But I can see that you've moved on." Elijah said
"Who? Me and August? We're just friends." Melissa said
"Right. (Elijah doesn't believe Melissa.) I'm going to walk away. Cover our connection with our relationship. And you'll never have to care for me, in spite of all of what I did. I will be gone. I just want you to be honest with me." Elijah said
"I like him a lot. And I live in this beautiful town. I've a job as Deputy and I love it. I have a 1 year old daughter. I'm building a better future for myself and for my kid." Melissa said
"I understand." Elijah said
"No you don't. I've moved on. So yes I hate myself for the truth. If you promise to walk away and never come back. Then I will be honest with you about what I really want." Melissa said
"I will never come back. You have my word" Elijah said
Melissa slowly approaches Elijah. As she comes within inches of his face.
"I know." Melissa said
Melissa begins kissing Elijah slowly at first. And then, they begin to kiss very passionately. He vamp speeds and pinned her down on the ground and they start undressing one another.
Both Melissa and Elijah put their clothes back on.
"It's over between us. You do know that, right?" Melissa asked Elijah
"We're not in each others lives anymore. You've moved on with your life." Elijah said
"I have. And there's a person out there you can have a relationship with." Melissa said
"You're right." Elijah said
"Friends." Melissa said as she extended her hand to him
"Friends." Elijah said as he shakes her hand
Next day
Henry is writing/drawing things on a piece of paper with markers at Granny's Diner. August enters and sits next to him.
"You can write anywhere. What are you really doing here?" Henry asked August
"Stuff. Good luck with the stories." August said
August was about to leave.
"Wait...(August turns around.) I'm going to come out and say it." Henry said
"Say what Henry?" August asked Henry
"Do you like Melissa?" Henry asked again
"How do you know that?" August asked again
"I've seen you both. You know eye to eye. Like you two have this connection." Henry said
"I can't talk about this with you Henry. I'm sorry." August apologized
August leaves the diner and smiles.
Emma walks to her car.
"One more thing." Regina said
Emma turns around.
"What?" Emma asked Regina
"Who was that man in the suit talking to Miss Flair yesterday?" Regina asked Emma
"It's none of your business." Emma said as
Emma get's in her car and drives off.
Melissa comes in the diner and spots both Emma and Sidney.
"Well this is a woman thing." Sidney said
Sidney leaves. Melissa sits down.
"I haven't seen you all day yesterday." Emma said
"Sorry." Melissa apologized
"Details. Please?" Emma asked Melissa
"We were just talking and..." Melissa said as Emma interrupt her sentence
"What? (Emma realizes what has Melissa been doing.) Oh come on." Emma said as she freaked out
"I know. I know. It was stupid. But it was the last time. It was just break up sex." Melissa said
"You swear?" Emma asked again
"Yes" Melissa said
"Good." Emma said
Mystic Falls Past.
Salvatore boarding house.
Melissa hears a door bell ringing. She opens it but no one was there except for mail for an invitation. She reads it.
You're invited to the Mikaelson ball for cocktails and dresses.
Melissa is at the ball in a lavender elegant dress and Elijah approaches her.
"You look...you look handsome." Melissa said as she compliments Elijah
"And you're beautiful." Elijah said as he compliments Melissa
"Thank you." Melissa thanking Elijah
Ester and the others walked up there.
"I've to go." Elijah said
"Don't worry. I get it." Melissa said
Elijah walks upstairs and Damon approaches Melissa.
"What are you doing here?" Damon asked Melissa
"I was invited." Melissa said
"So does that mean you and him are boyfriend and girlfriend?" Damon asked as he was teasing
"So none of your business." Melissa said
Elijah makes a announcement.
"If everyone could gather, please. (All the Originals are standing on the staircase as Elijah addresses the company. Esther walks down the staircase from upstairs.) Welcome, thank you for joining us. You know, whenever my mother brings our family together like this, it's tradition for us to commence the evening with a dance. (Damon walks away and talks to Stefan.) Tonight's pick is a centuries-old waltz, so if all of you could please find yourselves a partner, please join us in the ballroom." Elijah said
Esther retreats silently back upstairs. Elijah and the other originals walked downstairs and extend a partner. He extended his hand to Melissa and then everyone is dancing the waltz.
"You know. I'm glad that I'm here tonight." Melissa said
"I'm glad that you came too." Elijah said
Elijah spins Melissa.
