I do not own the Vampire Diaries

AN: Hi readers, quick question, I've been wandering for a while now but exactly how do vampires wear earrings, wouldn't their rapid healing heal the hole in their ear? Do they have to make new holes each time? Just something to think about.

Sam: Since you're a guest and I can't message you back, here's my answer to your question. You will meet her soon, not right now but soon, definitely during S1.

"What?" Kol asked his head snapping up to glare at the guy who didn't seem to have heard him as he stared at Lucy hopefully. The others did though and saw the anger in his eyes as he glared at the boy.

"You want me to stay with you? Really?" Lucy asked hardly daring to believe it, she felt sadness creep into her head, she didn't want him to find out the truth, it would only hurt him more.

"Of course I do, I've been trying to figure out ways to get you away from that blasted uncle of yours for ages and now it's finally possible," Aiden said as he smiled down at her.

"Wouldn't your family mind? I mean, I don't want to be a burden." Lucy said unsure as she looked down, she couldn't tell hi the truth so she had to act the part, Ade could never find out. Aiden rolled his eyes at that before tilting her chin up with his curled index as he stroked her chin with his thumb.

"You are never a burden Lucy, least of all to me." Aiden replied softly and the girls were resisting the urge to 'aww' at the sight, though Rebekah kept looking at Kol concernedly, he did not seem happy at all.

"But what about your family?" Lucy asked him again, trying not to think about the memories of that day.

"They said I can bring over anyone I want to, they're very laidback people despite the money surrounding them so I doubt they'd mind a girl in the house, they'll probably think you're my girlfriend or something and leave it at that," Aiden replied and Lucy blushed at his words causing Kol to narrow his eyes, why was she blushing in the guy's presence, she should only be blushing around him. And, boyfriend? Really? Like hell.

"Absolutely not. She's not staying with you, she can stay with me, our mansion is most likely way better than yours anyway." Kol interrupted annoyed.

"K don't be rude!" Lucy said her brows furrowed at him despite the happiness she felt inside at his words, that he'd want her to live with his family despite them knowing each other for a little while.

"I'm just being honest darling," Kol said rolling his eyes.

"Still K, you didn't have to say that, you don't even know what the house looks like and besides, for me, any house is better than the one I live in," Lucy responded and that was the understatement of the century.

"Which is why you're going to agree to live with me darling, not him," Kol said demandingly.

"That's not really possible K considering our worlds are two completely different places. After this I have to go back home after sending you all to yours." Lucy responded wincing at the drop of his face, she wasn't entirely telling the truth but she had no choice, if she told them the truth, they'd freak out and she really didn't want that right now.

"You're going to leave?" Kol asked not knowing why he felt a pressure on his chest at the thought of the girl leaving.

"Not now but eventually I'm going to have to," Lucy said sadly.

"Why can't you come back with us?" Rebekah asked after seeing how much this was affecting her brother.

"I don't have control over that Bekah," Lucy said shrugging her shoulders actually feeling sad at the thought of leaving them all.

"Who does?" Caroline asked curiously.

"I can't say," Lucy said apologetically before turning to Aiden after a moment to say, "When we go home I would love to live with you if you're sure I won't be a bother."

"Oh for the last time you are not a bother, more of a delight actually. Now why don't you explain what's going on and why I'm here?" Aiden asked curiously.

"Well I control mostly everything in this world, the reason for which I cannot tell you. And as for why you're here, well, it's because I just wanted you to be here, I didn't expect that to actually happen though but I'm really glad you're here Ade." Lucy said happily as she hugged him again.

"Uh...Lucy, you do realize I have exams next week, right? I can't miss it." Aiden said apologetically.

"You won't need to, as long as we're here, everything is on pause in every universe," Lucy replied brightly.

"On pause? How did you manage to do that? Wait, you're not f £$%! with me are you? This is actually real?" Aiden asked just to make sure.

"It's completely real Ade and how I managed to do that, is something I can't speak about, all I can say is that this is not only my decision, there is a...higher power, you could say," Lucy explained intriguing them all.

"I swear, the things you get yourself into," Aiden said sighing in exasperation as he ruffled her hair before she batted his hands away.

"Don't be mean, this wasn't entirely my fault," Lucy said pouting at him.

"The word 'entirely' shows that you still hold part of the blame Lu," Aiden said laughing at her.

"You're mean to me," Lucy said crossing her arms as she turned away from him to walk back to her seat.

"Ok, ok. I'm sorry Lu, do you forgive me?" Aiden asked playfully as he pulled her back but she just harrumphed before sticking her nose in the air mock pompously. "Please? I'll make you your favorite cookies if you do."

"Really?" Lucy squealed excitedly, Ade's cookies were the best.

"So I'm forgiven then?" Aiden asked smirking.

"Of course..." Lucy said happily before she coughed as she calmed herself down and said, "...I mean I suppose you're forgiven then."

"Why thank you, my lady," Aiden said bowing to her mockingly.

"You're most welcome peasant," Lucy said before they looked at each other for a second and burst out laughing.

"Can we get back to watching, I'd rather get back as soon as possible?" Klaus asked completely bored and irritated despite the slight relief at seeing the girl happy after what he had seen, it brought back memories for him that he didn't want to remember.

"Oh, right, sorry. Wait, shit, where are my manners, I haven't even introduced you," Lucy said scolding herself. "Ok so guys this is Aiden Lee Jameson, my best friend, can each of you introduce yourselves please?"

"No need, I remember their names from the countless times you've talked about them, Klaus and Damon especially," Aiden said rolling his eyes at her as Kol scowled at the far wall.

"Shut it." Lucy mumbled turning a particularly dark shade of red only making her that much more adorable in their eyes especially Kol's.

"Out of curiosity why am I your favorite character? Well apart from my good looks, my charm and..." Damon was about to carry on as Stefan rolled his eyes at the familiar words.

"...your unflinching ability to listen to Taylor Swift?" Lucy said causing him to look at her in shock, how the hell had she known what he was about to say. "Sorry that was just a very famous line of yours that I loved, right before you stabbed Stefan for throwing a knife at you and thus ruining your John Varvatos T-shirt."

"It's creepy that you know exactly what happened, you know?" Stefan said, that had happened in his bedroom, just how much of his life has she watched?

"Don't blame me. It's not my fault." Lucy said defensively.

"Still, it's just a little weird, I mean imagine if you watched when we...you know?" Caroline said weirded out.

"Uh...yeah...about that..." Lucy trailed off.

"What! You can't be serious! Do not tell me there are those scenes in here!" Caroline shouted now utterly creeped out.

"It's not as explicit as Fifty Shades of Grey, it's more toned down and not that showy, no one's...things will be shown," Lucy said her face red.

"Things? What are you 5?" Aiden laughed at her.

"Shut up Ade, I just forgave you, do not make me mad again!" Lucy said glaring at him but she only looked adorable.

"Sorry, sorry, it's just...things!" Aiden began laughing all over again, even the others were stifling laughs at the scene before Lucy stomped off and sat next to Kol her arms crossed over her chest as she sulked in her seat.

"Come and sit down or I'm playing without you." Lucy huffed as Aiden made his way over and sat on the seats closest to hers still chuckling slightly before Lucy played the memory and reluctantly revived Elena who was about to speak out in anger at being knocked out again only to realize that no voice was coming out of her mouth and she glared at the girl clearly it was her doing considering the smirk on her face.

"Why are you smirking so sinisterly darling? Should I be concerned?" Kol asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nope. Not at all. Everything's just fine, perfect actually." Lucy replied brightly before turning back to the memory not even noticing his soft eyes gazing at her before his eyes caught the guy's from behind her as he gestured to Lucy with his head and raised an eyebrow at him. Kol looked at Lucy before looking back at the guy, he understood what he was asking but he didn't want to answer so instead he turned back to the screen and ignored him.

Aiden had noticed the guy, Kol, staring at Lucy and a protective feeling rose inside of him, he didn't want her to get hurt after everything she's been through, and if she cared for the guy, even a little bit, it would hurt her in the end because she'd eventually have to leave him behind. He had promised himself to be there for her whenever she needed him, no matter what, where or when, she was his best friend, his sister in all but blood, and like hell he'd sit back and let her get hurt from another man in her life.

Lucy took mercy on Elena this one time and gave her her voice back since it was just the start of the viewing. She knew she was going to use that a lot more with the episodes ahead so for now, she'll see exactly how much Elena could screw up her relationships with the Mystic Falls Gang.
