Mystic Falls:
Caroline set her phone on her nightstand. "I'm dating Klaus Mikaelson!"
Katherine laughs, "The most innocent vampire dating the most vicious hybrid! Opposites really do attract."
Caroline rolls her eyes. "Hey! I have killed people before! Yes, they do like me, and you, me and Nadia were opposites and yet, you two have become two of my best of friends!"
Nadia adds, "Plus, it doesn't help that we appreciate you more than Elena and Bonnie."
Caroline, sitting on the bed, agreed, "Yeah, they never liked, including me, in their plans. The only way I was ever included was by distracting Klaus so they could try to kill him again. I told Stefan I would call him after I got off the phone with Klaus."
Katherine, going over to the closet, tells her, "Call Stefan, and then we're going out."
"Kat, we can't go out! Someone will think you're Elena!"
Katherine turns around and with a smirk says, "Well, it's a good thing we're going out in another town!"
Caroline, more than curious, asks, "What town?"
"Whitmore. There has to be at least one college party we can go to!"
Caroline, trying to point out the obvious, says, "People know Elena there, too! We will get caught!"
Katherine sighs, turns to face her, and says, "Caro, we won't get caught because if anyone notices us, one of us will compel the person. We have to celebrate you finally admitting you have feelings for Klaus and dating him, me for not dying, and Nadia for finding me after five hundred years!"
Caroline has learned over the months that you can't fight Katherine. Once she has something on her mind, she will try to the best of her ability to make that happen.
Caroline says, "Keep it down, I'm calling Stefan."
Katherine, with her back turned, waves her hand in the air, and Nadia goes over to the closet.

Stefan picks up, "Hey Care! So are you two official?"
Caroline shyly answers, "Yeah, I'm still going to live here. He's going to live in New Orleans, but I will go down there every month. I just don't want Elena, Bonnie, and especially Tyler, finding out. Can you keep it a secret, please?"
Stefan says, "Of course, Care! Are you going to Tyler's party?"
Caroline looks at her closet and Katherine is holding up a silver, sequined shift dress, pointing to Caroline. Caroline points to the bed, Katherine puts the outfit down, and turns back to the closet.
Caroline forgets Stefan is on the phone until she hears Stefan say "Hello! Care, are you there?"
"Oh my God! I'm sorry! I was looking through my closet. I'm going to a party at Whitmore so I can't go to Tyler's."
"Care, are you avoiding Tyler? After what you told me I would avoid him, too."
Caroline, looking for shoes to match her outfit, replies, "No, I'm not avoiding him. I just have a lot on my plate. I can't deal with an ex-boyfriend who says he love me but only wants sex. I have a new boyfriend that I'm seeing in a month and I'm going to a party at Whitmore."
Stefan unsure, says, "OK, Care."
Caroline can hear the uncertainty in Stefan's voice. "Stefan, I'm fine! I promise actually I'm very happy, and I have to get ready so I'm going to go. Have fun at Tyler's!"
Stefan is happy for his best friend. "You deserve to be happy, Care, and have fun at your party too."

Caroline puts on her dress and matches it with Chanel studded earrings and black Chanel stilettos.
Katherine, still going through the closet to find something to wear, turns to Caroline with a smile and before she can say anything, Caroline says, "Kat, when you smile like that you creep me out!"
Katherine rolls her eyes. "Maybe being with Klaus is good for you, Caro! You worry too much! Lucky for you when you're not with Klaus, you have us. I have the perfect accessory for you!"
She pulls out a bling jewelry Royal title tiara. "You are the new Queen of the French Quarter!"
Caroline laughs and bends down so Katherine can set it on her head. "Nadia, take a picture, please! You two are rubbing off on me and I have a long distance boyfriend."
Nadia picks up Caroline's phone and takes a picture of Caroline.
Katherine brags, "I am so happy I redid your closet when we became friends."
Caroline, sending the picture to Klaus, replies, "There was nothing wrong with my closet before, Kat."
Katherine turns around with a black Hervé Léger Melanie-beaded bandage mini dress. "Caro, hand me those black high heels."
Caroline hands Katherine black Christian Louboutin fine bretell sandal high heel. "Nadia, what are you wearing?"
Nadia turns around with a short blue dress and a black leather jacket. "Caro, can you hand me those black ankle boots?"
Caroline hands her the boots. Katherine, looking at Caroline, tells her, "You need one more thing" and she grabs an Alexander McQueen black and gold leather Union Jack skull clutch off the vanity and hands it to Caroline. "Here!"

Caroline is putting her phone in the clutch when it pings, telling her she has a text. She opens the text and it's from Klaus and says, "You look ravishing, love. Glad I'm not there! If I was, your outfit would not survive the night!"
Caroline laughs and texts back, "Will my clothes get destroyed every time we see one another? I recently got a closetful of new clothes that I would like to keep in one piece!"
Klaus texted back, "Is that outfit new? Feel free to destroy my clothes, too!"
Caroline laughs again; Katherine looks at Nadia, nods, and takes Caroline's phone to looks at her texts. "He will not destroy the new clothes I bought you! It took a lot of work to redo your wardrobe, and I was human so I had to pay!"
Caroline huffs, "Kat, give me my phone! I was the one compelling the people to give us the free clothes!"
Katherine vamp-sped to the front of the house, Caroline follows her, and Katherine held the phone out of reach, "Promise me he won't rip the clothes!"
Caroline sighs, "I can't promise, but I can promise to wear my old clothes when I see him rather than the new clothes."
Katherine sighs, "Good enough!" and hands the phone back and goes back to Caroline's room.
Caroline, texting Klaus back, says, "Yes, the outfit's new and I just might rip your clothes too!"

When Liz comes in the door and looks at her daughter, she says, "Caroline, what are you wearing?"
Caroline looks up. "Hey, Mom! I thought you were working tonight?"
Liz walks over to the kitchen table and says, "I forgot a file. Now you answer my question."
Caroline thinks quickly, "Before Katherine died, she was living with me at Whitmore and redid my closet. I decided to shower here while I'm in Mystic Falls, and then I'm going back to Whitmore. I'm wearing this Katherine outfit in her memory. She turned me, but she didn't deserve to become human, and Damon was having a party because she was dying!"
Liz, trying to take in all of Caroline's rambling, only one thing stuck out in her mind, "Katherine turned you into a vampire?"
Caroline nods, "I had Damon's blood in my system, but Katherine killed me."
Liz pulls Caroline in to a hug. "Oh, Sweetie, I didn't know!"
Caroline says, "I didn't tell you because you didn't accept me in the beginning, and you're still getting used to having a vampire daughter. I know this is not what you expected of me, but I'm happy. I have been a vampire for almost two years and I have made relationships that are forever."
Liz pulls back, "You have become such a strong, independent woman and I'm so proud of you! You got back together with Tyler?"
Caroline scoffs, "No! Now don't get mad when I tell you this next part…"
Liz nods and Caroline continues, "I'm talking about Klaus. We're," Caroline takes a big breath, "together."
Liz has so many emotions running through her right now, shock, anger, confusion, "How? I thought you hated him!"
Caroline shakes her head, "I was on my way out, but I'm going to give you the quick version. I never hated Klaus. We became friends, and yesterday, we saw each other in the woods when I was looking for Matt. We slept together and we decided that we didn't want this to be just a one-time thing. So, after lots of thinking, I decided I wanted to be with him and called him. I told him I'm willing to give us a try, but I'm not moving to New Orleans though I will visit once a month."
Liz, shocked, states, "My daughter is dating the most powerful being on the planet?"
Caroline nods her head, "Yes, but it's not that bad! You can't tell anyone, Mom. Only you and Stefan know."
Liz gets up. "I won't tell anyone, but I need time to process this. It's one thing to invite him in to heal you, but it's another thing entirely to hear your daughter is dating him."
"If it makes you feel any better, whenever I'm with Klaus I'm happier than I ever was with Tyler, and Klaus loves me."
Liz turns around, "I thought you were happy with Tyler."
"Not really. It was never a real relationship."
Liz pulls her into a hug, "If you're happy, I'm happy, but if he hurts you, I will find a way to kill him!"
Caroline nods, "OK Mom!" Liz leaves.

Katherine and Nadia come out of Caroline's room. Nadia says, "We heard. Your mom didn't take the news that well."
"She's taking this better than when she found out I was a vampire. When she discovered that, she didn't want anything to do with me and I had to live at the boarding house until she came around."
Katherine taking Caroline's hand says, "That's enough wallowing! We're going out now."
Caroline teases and salutes, "Yes, Ma'am!"
Katherine, on her way out the door, puts up her middle finger. Caroline and Nadia laugh and follow suit.
Xxx
When they're in the car Katherine tells them, "I need to go to the boarding house and break up with Damon. Then we can go to Whitmore."
Katherine, Caroline, and Nadia arrive at the boarding house and before getting out, Caroline says, "Nadia, you wait in the car. It will raise questions, why Elena and me are hanging out with you." Nadia nods.
Katherine and Caroline walk in to the boarding house and see Damon, another brown haired vampire, and a blonde haired boy in a bag. Caroline, confused, asks, "What's going on here and who are they?"
Damon turns around. "Perfect! Just what I need, Prudy Trudy!" and then Damon sees Katherine and tries to kiss her.
The brown haired guy walks over to Caroline and says, in a British accent, "I'm Lorenzo, but my friends call me Enzo. Who are you?"
Caroline puts her hand out. "I'm Caroline, but most people call me Care. Damon calls me Blondie or Vampire Barbie, whatever he's in the mood for calling me."
Enzo turns around to face Damon. "She's feisty! I like it!"
Damon laughs, "Watch out, Enzo, Blondie loves accents! She'll sleep with you in a second!"
Caroline turns around, "I will not sleep with him in a second!"
Damon, who always enjoyed their banter, teases, "Because you got back together with Wolfboy! He was looking for you yesterday, being a real downer at my 'Katherine's Dead' party."
Caroline walks up to him and says, "I didn't get back with Tyler, and maybe you should be a little sad Katherine died. After all, if it wasn't for Katherine, you would be dead."
Damon says smugly, "Touché, Blondie! What did you want? I thought you would be at Wolfboy's party."
Caroline smiles, "I'm here for moral support, so Elena can do what she should have done years ago."
Damon confused, says, "And what's that?"
Katherine, who has been watching them go head to head, "This, Damon. I don't think this is working anymore and I don't want to see you anymore. Goodbye! Let's go, Care!"
Caroline waves, "Bye, Enzo!" Damon is left shocked.
Xxx
Enzo turns to Damon. "So tell me about that blonde, and do you want to kill him or should I?"
Damon turns to Enzo, vamp-faced, bites the boy in the bag, sucking him dry, and then goes to get a drink. "Blondie and I are the pc term is 'frenemies. We used to use her as a distraction to one of The Originals. Have you heard of The Originals?"
Enzo, getting up to pour himself a drink, shakes his head, "What are The Originals?"
Damon feels a sense of déjà vu. "The original family of vampires, over a thousand-years-old, they love two things, murder, and they stand up for one another. When The Originals moved here, one of them, Klaus, the most vicious of The Originals, developed a crush on our Vampire Barbie. Whenever we tried to kill them, we would use Blondie as a distraction for Klaus, so we could get to the other Originals. We only managed to kill two Originals. We can't kill Klaus because if he dies, we all die. Klaus made our vampire bloodline."
Enzo asks curiously, "So how many Originals are left?"
Damon sighs, "Three, Elijah, my favorite original, Rebekah Barbie, Klaus' sister, and Klaus, the psychotic hybrid."

When they get to Whitmore, they see a frat house with the letters 'EKB' on the front and Katherine points out, "That's where we're going."
Caroline looks where Katherine is pointing and says, "Kat, they're not having a party."
"Watch and learn, Caro!"
Katherine walks up to the door and knocks. A frat guy answers the door, "Hello!"
Katherine begins to compel him, "You're going to throw a party right now. Call everyone you know and you're going to invite me and my two friends inside."
The frat guy says, "OK, you can come in," and then he goes to call everyone he knows.

Thirty minutes later, the house is full with drunken college kids.
Caroline is dancing when she feels hands on her waist. She turns around and sees it's some random college guy. She removes his hands, telling him, "I have a boyfriend."
The guy puts his hands back on Caroline's waist, asking, "Where is he? If I was him I wouldn't let you leave out of my sight!"
Caroline answers, "He is in New Orleans and he's very protective, so let go of me!"
The guy doesn't let go, so Caroline looks around, and then compels him, "You will let go of me and go bother someone else."
The guy leaves. Katherine is kissing a guy named Liam. Liam stops kissing her. "Why haven't I seen you around?"
Katherine says, "I have been busy with school stuff and I had a boyfriend, but we broke up."
Nadia is dancing with a guy and the guy asks her, "Why haven't I seen you around?"
Nadia says, "I don't go here. I'm just visiting a friend."
The guy smiles. "Want to get out of here?"
Nadia turns around and compels him to stop talking and just dance.
Caroline is at the one of the bars and sees Katherine and Nadia come up "I don't think this was a good idea, Kat."
Katherine takes a shot. "I know, everyone thinks I'm Elena, and their alcohol is terrible."
Nadia suggests, "Let's just go to a bar."
Xxx
Caroline, Katherine, and Nadia go to Skull bar. They order bourbon, sit in a booth, and a couple of cute guys come up to them asking if they want to dance. Katherine says, "Yes."
They get up and start dancing. Caroline is dancing and before the guy can hit on her, she compels him, "Before you hit on me, I have a boyfriend, so nothing's going to happen between us." The compelled guy nods and they dance.
Katherine and her guy are dancing. "You look amazing!"
Katherine smiles, "Thank you!"
Nadia and her guy are dancing. "Why are three very attractive girls in a bar all alone?"
Nadia smiles, "We're celebrating!"
The guy, curious, asks, "What are you celebrating?"
Nadia turns around and tells him, "My friend over there," pointing to Caroline, "is dating a new guy, and my friend," pointing to Katherine, "survived a near death experience. I found my mom after looking for her for years."
The guy wasn't expecting all that. "Well, congrats on all of that!"
Xxx
The next morning, Caroline, Katherine, and Nadia awaken in Caroline's dorm room after hearing someone knock on the door. They were still sleeping when the person came in the room.
As it turns out, the person was the guy who was dancing with Katherine. He has three cups of coffee with him. He goes over to Katherine. "Katherine, I'm waking you up like you told me."
Katherine's hand slides out of the blankets and pats him on the head. "Good boy, now wake the others."
The guy goes to wake up Caroline whose head was under the blankets to block out the sun. "Caroline, time to wake up."
Caroline mumbles, "Kat, go away! I'm still tired!"
The guy is confused, "Whoever Kat is, she's not here. My name's Chris."
Caroline pulls the blankets back and sits up. "Kat is short for Katherine. Who are you and how did you get in here?"
Chris tells her, "My name's Chris. I was dancing with Katherine last night, and she told me to come here at noon to wake up her and her friends, and bring coffee."
Caroline angrily moves over to Elena's bed where Katherine is laying and yells, "You compelled this stranger to wake us up and bring us coffee? I just want blood, but I can't drink it in front of him!"
Katherine sits up. "Caro, relax! I compelled him to forget everything when he isn't around us. I thought we could use a lackey."
Caroline angrily says, "Kat, we don't need a lackey! Why can't you just let this poor guy be?"
Chris is waking up Nadia. "Nadia, time to wake up. I have coffee."
Nadia turns over. "Who are you?" she yells.
Before Chris can say anything, Katherine tells her, "That's Chris. He's our lackey."
Caroline adds, "No! Not 'our' lackey! He was dancing with Kat last night and Kat compelled him!"
Nadia sits up. "Oh!"
Caroline is still sitting on Elena's bed. "Either you get rid of him or I will!"
Katherine looks at Caroline. "Caro, remember I'm older and I want to keep him. I have had a hard year! Elijah left me, I turned human, had a heart attack, and almost died, so if I want to make a cute college guy my slave, so be it!"
Caroline, glaring at Katherine, states emphatically, "I'm not ok with this!"
Katherine lying back down, says, "You'll come around."
Caroline goes back to her bed. "No, I won't. Just answer me one thing. Does he know we're," and whispers, "vampires?"
Katherine looks at her. "Yeah, I compelled him to forget when he leaves us, but if he sees one if us, he remembers."
Caroline falls on her bed. "My life is so messed up," and then sits up, "Is it wrong that the only not weird part of my life is my relationship with Klaus, considering he's a mass murderer?"
Nadia goes to sit next to her and puts an arm around her. Caroline puts her head on Nadia's shoulder. "It's not wrong if you know your life and your relationship with Klaus. You want some blood?"
"We can't. Chris is here."
Chris sitting at the desk, goes to the fridge, gets two bags of blood, and hands them to Caroline. "I know you're vampires, and I will forget if I leave."
Caroline is not used to the idea, but she knows Chris is not going anywhere. "Kat, is Chris going to follow us everywhere? I'm pretty sure Chris has classes and is a student here like me."
Katherine tells her "Not everywhere."
Caroline gets up, saying, "I'm going to take a shower. When I get out, can Chris be gone, please? This dorm is not for Katherine Pierce's slaves. Bonnie is going to come back soon so I think we should move."
Katherine just waves her hand and drinks some blood.
Caroline gets out of the shower and hearing one heartbeat, knows Chris is still there. She leaves the bathroom and goes to her closet, grabs a pair of jeans, a pink, long-sleeve shirt, a black jacket, and and a pair of black ankle boots."I think we should look for a house or an apartment we could live in."
