Flashback 1962 New York

Caroline is in the coffin room of their mansion. She looks at Rebekah in her coffin, "I'm sorry Rebekah, I have been a terrible sister to you."

She looks over at Finn in his coffin, "And we have been a terrible family to you Finn."

She goes over to the last coffin and looks at Freya, "I'm sorry Dahlia and Esther did this too. At least in 52 years, you will see us again."

Klaus walks in to the coffin room and finds Caroline and puts his arms around her waist and she leans back in to his chest. "My love, you know how sad being in this room makes you, why do you do this to yourself?"

Caroline goes in between Rebekah and Freya's coffins to say "It's the 40th anniversary of Rebekah being daggered and I miss her. I love Davina but our relationship isn't the same as mine and Rebekah's. She's my sister and we were just getting to know Freya."

Caroline starts crying and Klaus turns her around so they are facing each other to wipe her tears. "Sweetheart, I daggered Rebekah because Mikael found us and if Rebekah left with Stefan, Mikael would have killed Rebekah. I miss her too, but when it's safe, I will undagger her. As for Freya we couldn't have done anything.

Caroline pushes Klaus away before saying, "Nik, it will never be safe. Mikael is always going to be hunting us and witches are going to try to kill us saying they're restoring the balance. There is going to be someone always after us, so I can't believe you when you say when it's safe because it's never going to be safe. I can't be here right now."

Caroline walks out of the room and Klaus follows her to ask, "What do you mean you can't be here?"

Caroline turns around before saying, "In this house, in this state, maybe this country… I just need to leave for a little bit, I need a vacation."

Caroline vamps to Kol and Davina's room where Kol is sitting on the bed watching tv. Caroline comes in and flops down on the bed. Kol looks down at Caroline's face down on the bed and asks, "What's the matter sister?"

"Kol, you have always been my partner in crime. Want to go on vacation with me? There will be blood and parties please, I can't be in this house anymore."

Kol thinks about it before saying, "You had me at blood and parties, but let me talk to Davina and see what she thinks."

Xxx

When Davina comes home an hour later, she goes to her and Kol's room. Kol is still sitting on the bed, but she can see he is deep in thought, so she comes to sit on the bed next to him. "Kol, what's wrong?"

"Caroline asked me to go on vacation with her because she needs a break from everything. Caroline and I have always been partners in crime even when we were human."

Davina smiles, she loves hearing about when Kol and the others were human, and gets up to put some of the herbs she got away. "I think you should go if any of us need a vacation from our lives, it's you and Caroline but I would like to know where you guys are going. I can handle Klaus and if I need help, I will call Elijah."

Kol gets off the bed and cradles Davina's face in his hands "Davina, I love you, but there is only one person who can handle Nik and that's Caroline, sometimes Elijah, I will message Elijah before we leave."

Davina kisses Kol before she says, "I love you too and I will be fine, go."

Kol kisses her again and says, "I know you will, I just worry about you."

Xxx

Kol goes to Caroline and Klaus' room and flops on the bed, "So sister, where are we going?"

Caroline is still packing as she says, "Europe."

Kol laughs and says, "Want to be more specific."

Caroline glances at Kol before saying, "Somewhere in Europe."

Kol laughs again and says, "You have no idea where were going, do you?"

Caroline stops packing and looks at him to reply, "Ok, no, I don't know where we're going to go, but I love Europe and you wanted to be mayor in Cadiz Spain in 1702, so why not now on this vacation we do that. I always loved Paris, but that's more romantic and I love Kol but not that way."

Kol laughs and says, "Love you too, but not that way and I always wanted to know what happened to that town after Mikael."

Caroline smiles and returns to packing and says, "So it's settled, we'll go to Cadiz and you know we have never been to Ibiza, I hear it's the party island."

Kol smiles getting off the bed and says, "I love the way you think, sister, I'll go pack, see you in an hour."

Xxx

Kol goes back to his room and packs, "Can you sent a message to Elijah?"

Davina is on the bed, she looks up from her grimoire to say, "Ya, just give me the message."

Kol goes to the desk in their room and writes down: Elijah, me and Caroline are going on vacation. Caroline and Nik had a fight about undagging Rebekah. Caroline needs to let off some stream, we're going to Spain and then Ibiza and other places in Europe. I know you are the only other person who can control Nik's temper. Davina is staying behind and I need you to help her take care of Nik, they have had fights like this one before, but Caroline has never decided to leave come home. We're in New York City. Your brother Kol.

Kol gets up and gives the note to Davina and Davina chants, "Prend ce message ce au le centre se levant" the message catches on fire then disappears.

Davina turns to Kol and says, "Elijah will get the message, now where are you two going?"

Kol answers as he's packing, "We're first going to a little town in Spain called Cadiz. I was almost Mayor in 1702, but Nik daggered me, so I wasn't. It all worked out because when I was undaggered, I met you. Then we're going to Ibiza, we have never been there and apparently it's the party island of Europe. Then I think we're just going to be traveling Europe. When I asked Caroline where we're going, she said Europe, then she gave me those two places."

Davina helping him pack and replies with, "Even though you're an original vampire and you can't die I want you to be safe."

Kol turns to her and says, "I will."

Xxx

An hour later, Caroline and Kol come downstairs and put their luggage in the car. Klaus comes out of his studio to say, "You're really leaving, Caroline? We had a fight, you don't need to leave and Kol, why are you leaving?"

Caroline comes back in the house and says, "Yes I'm leaving, but not forever, I will be back but for right now, I can't be here. I'm sick of having this fight, Nik, we have been having it for 40 years. I can't anymore and Kol is going because I need my partner in crime, but Davina will be here."

Klaus is sad, he doesn't want Caroline to leave. "Is there any way you would stay?," he asks.

Caroline thinks about it before saying, "Undagger Rebekah."

Klaus is annoyed as he says, "We have talked about this, it's not safe."

Caroline is getting angry as she says, "So it's safe for me, Kol and Elijah to be undaggered, but not Rebekah."

Klaus is getting angry and says, "You three don't leave your heart on your sleeve like Rebekah does, I'm trying to protect her."

Caroline is just as angry now as she says, "But we don't need protection."

Klaus tries to calm her down by saying, "We should all stay together, Mikael is out there and after us." "Actually Nik, Mikael is only after you, so me and Caroline are safe from his wrath," Kol speaks up.

"Kol, unless you want a dagger in your heart, stay out of this," Klaus yells.

Davina uses her magic to give Klaus an aneurism before saying, "Dagger him and you lose us both."

Caroline turns to Kol to say, "Let's go." Kol agrees and kisses Davina.

Xxx

A couple days later Elijah arrives and asks Davina, "Where is he?"

Davina points to his studio and says, "He hasn't left the studio since Caroline and Kol left."

Elijah opens the door of Klaus' studio to see Klaus throwing a painting and yelling, Elijah closes the door and Klaus stops. "What are you doing here, Elijah?" Klaus asks.

"Kol sent me a note saying he and Caroline are on vacation because you and Caroline had a fight," Elijah explains as he closes the door behind him.

Klaus goes to sit on the couch in his studio as he says, "Yes we did, she is being overdramatic by leaving, we have had the same fight for forty years and she's never left. We have been together for over 900 years and she left me. I thought she was the one person who would never leave me."

Elijah goes to sit next to his little brother and puts his hand on Klaus' back to say, "Niklaus, Caroline didn't leave you, she just needed a little break like when I leave, I always come back now, what is this forty year fight you two have been having."

Klaus looks at Elijah to say, "She's wants Rebekah undaggered and I keep telling her it's not safe."

Elijah takes a breath before responding, "Niklaus, Rebekah is a big girl, she can make her own decisions."

Klaus sighs, he knows, Elijah is right, before saying, "I know, I just don't want her to get hurt, I don't want any of you to get hurt. Caroline is out there with Kol, they could get hurt, if anything happened to Caroline -" before Klaus could finish, Elijah interrupts, "I know Niklaus, but Caroline and Kol are originals, they can't die and Caroline is really smart, I'm sure they will do just fine."

New York 1965

Klaus is in the living room pacing in front of Davina who is on the floor doing a locator spell for Klaus. Elijah is sitting in one of the chairs looks up to say, "Niklaus, stop pacing."

Klaus glares at him before saying, "Elijah, when your wife and brother don't return from their vacation for three years, I think I deserve the right to pace."

Before Elijah can respond, Davina says, "Found them, they're in Cadiz Spain."

Klaus flys to Cadiz Spain to find them and they're gone.

Xxx

New York 1967

Elijah comes in to the living room and sees Davina doing yet another locator spell for Klaus "They're in Ibiza," she says.

Before Klaus can move, Elijah walks over to him and says, "Why don't you message Caroline first?"

Klaus is mad as he says, "Why message when I can dagger them?"

Elijah sighs before saying, "Niklaus, daggers are what got you into this problem, do you really want to risk Caroline leaving you forever? You said she would be back."

"That was five years ago!" Klaus yells back at him.

Elijah takes a breath before saying, "Stay here Niklaus, I will message Caroline."

Elijah writes a message to Caroline: If you get this, stay where you are. Niklaus is coming to get you. He hands the letter to Davina who chants and it disappears.

Caroline is at a beach party with Kol. "I'm next," she says. They invented a new game called vampire shots. A human puts salt on their stomach, then you take a shot of tequila, and then you bite their neck. When a letter appears next to her, she opens it and reads it.

Xxx

Klaus and Elijah are on their way to the door whenever Klaus says, "Davina, undagger Rebekah and while you're at it, undagger Finn."

Davina looks at him to say, "Klaus, Finn doesn't know me, he could kill me."

Klaus turns around to face the little witch, "Right, that would be bad. Undagger Rebekah, give her a blood bag and then tell her to undagger Finn. While you wait for Finn, have Rebekah write a note saying she's up and something that only her and Caroline know so Caroline has proof that Rebekah is undaggered and send it to Elijah." Davina getting up from the floor nods.

Xxx

Davina goes to the coffin room and opens Rebekah's coffin and pulls out the dagger. A few minutes later, Davina hears a gasp and looks up from her seventeen magazine and goes over to Rebekah and gives her the blood bag. Rebekah drinks it and once she finishes, she asks, "What year it is and where is everyone?"

Davina tells her, "It's 1967 and Klaus and Elijah went to go get Caroline and Kol."

Rebekah is confused as she says, "I was daggered for forty five years and what do you mean get them?"

Davina goes over to the table while she says, "Yes and I will explain later, but first I need you to write a note to Elijah saying you're up and something that only you and Caroline know."

Rebekah is still confused as she asks, "Why?"

Davina sighs before saying, "I will explain if you write the note." "Okay, daggered for forty five years and no welcome back hug," Rebekah jokes.

Davina laughs before saying, "Sorry bekah," and then hugs her.

Davina starts explaining, "Since Nik daggered you in the 20s, he and Caroline have been having the same fight whether or not to keep you daggered or undaggered. Caroline wanted you undaggered and Nik wanted to keep you daggered said he was protecting you. Five years ago, Caroline and Nik were in here having the fight again when Caroline just couldn't anymore."

Rebekah had been writing the note as she listened to Davina before she looks up startled, "She turned it off?"

Davina reassures her by saying, "No, she didn't turn it off. She came in to mine and Kol's room, said she need a vacation and asked Kol to come. I told Kol he should go, they left that night after Nik and Caroline had the same fight again."

"A couple days later, Elijah came and has been living here ever since. Klaus had me doing locator spells left and right to find them. Today I did a locator spell and they were in Ibiza, Klaus and Elijah left to try to bring them home."

Rebekah hands Davina the note as she says, "Wow, a lot has happened since I have been daggered."

Davina nods and says, "One more thing."

Rebekah curiously responds, "What?"

Davina goes over to Finn's coffin and opens it, "Klaus told me to tell you to undagger Finn. I would do it myself but Finn doesn't know me so he could kill me."

Rebekah looks shocked and goes to Finn's coffin and pulls out the dagger while Davina sends the note to Elijah.

Xxx

Klaus and Elijah are on the plane and a note appears in Elijah's lap. Klaus looks up to say, "Looks like Rebekah is up."

Elijah picks up the note and puts it on the table next to him, "I want to have a family dinner, all of us before Finn takes off and tries to find Sage."

Klaus laughs before saying, "Good luck with that Elijah."

Xxx

Klaus sees Caroline in a bikini top and shorts dancing on top of the bar while Kol is next to her also dancing on the bar. Kol has a bottle of tequila in his hand and Caroline has a bottle of vodka in her hand. Klaus looks at Elijah and nods. Klaus comes from one side of the beach bar and Elijah comes from the other side of the bar. Caroline sees Klaus at her feet and says, "Nik, come party with us."

Klaus looks at her and tries to take the vodka bottle out of her hands, "My love, you're drunk. I think for you and Kol, the party is over."

Caroline holds her vodka bottle further out of Klaus' reach and says, "No, we haven't been hunted for five years and I've loved it. The only bad thing is I missed you."

Klaus tries to get her off the bar as he says, "I'm happy that you haven't been hunted for five years. I have also missed you, but Davina has missed your partner in crime, her boyfriend."

Caroline looks at him sad to say, "We have to go home, don't we?"

"Yes, but Rebekah and Finn are undaggered. Will you let me help you off the bar now?"

Caroline is defeated as she says, "Fine, will you carry me?"

Klaus smiles up at her and says, "Sure, my love, come here."

Klaus holds a hand out to help her off the bar and then picks her up bridal style and Caroline snuggles in to his chest.

Xxx

Elijah tries another tacit to get Kol off the bar. When Kol sees Elijah, he says "Uhh oh, big brother's here."

Elijah stands in front of Kol and says, "Kol, get off this bar and get on the plane. Davina undaggered Rebekah and Finn."

When Kol heard Davina's name, he sobered up, "You left Davina alone in a house with Finn? He doesn't know anything, doesn't know her and doesn't like his family so he will kill her."

"Calm yourself, Rebekah is there and Davina is powerful, she can defend herself."

Kol is now off the bar as he speaks, "I know she's powerful. I just want to protect her like Nik protects Caroline."

Elijah putting his hand on Kol's shoulder to steady him, "I know."

Xxx

Klaus carries Caroline who has fallen asleep in his arms to the plane while Elijah helped Kol to the plane. A few hours later, Caroline wakes up and looks around and sees Elijah across from her reading a newspaper, Kol asleep in a chair and her head is nestled in to Klaus' neck. "Nik, where are we?" she asks.

Klaus looks down at her and kisses her forehead to say, "We're over the Atlantic. I have a letter for you."

Caroline confused and still a little drunk, "Why did you never send it?"

"It's not from me, it's from Rebekah."

Caroline suddenly sober moves her head up and says excitedly, "You undaggered Rebekah."

Klaus smirks as he says, "Technically Davina did, but I told her to do so and Finn is undaggered too."

Caroline sits up on his lap and is shocked as she says, "You told Davina to undagger Finn? He hates us."

Klaus knows Finn hates his family, "I thought if Finn was undaggered too, we could stop having that argument because none of us would be daggered anymore."

Caroline thinks about it before she says, "On one condition."

Klaus looks at her so happy to have her back, "Anything my love."

"You give me all the daggers and I put them somewhere safe that you can't find so no one gets daggered anymore."

Before Klaus can say anything, Elijah says " Niklaus, think about it."

Klaus is defeated as he says, "Fine."

Caroline claps her hands excited before saying, "Can I read the letter now?"

Elijah hands the letter to Caroline it says: I'm awake. I don't know who is going to read this, Elijah or Caroline, but I want to say I'm glad Caroline tried so hard to get me undaggered. I know Caroline probably feels like a bad sister because I was daggered for forty five years but from what Davina has told me is Caroline has tried for forty five years to convince Nik to undagger me. I hope where ever Caroline and Kol are, they are having fun. Now Davina told me to write down something only me and Caroline know so here it is, out of all the men I have loved and been with I have only really loved and wanted to be with forever is Stefan. Caroline looks up from the letter at both Klaus and Elijah. "I can't believe you awoke Rebekah. I can't wait to see her again," Caroline says before Klaus kisses her, "It will only be a couple hours, my love, then we will be home."

Xxx

They walk through the front door and Davina runs in to Kol's arms. They have never been apart for so long since they started dating in the 1800s. "I've missed you so much," Davina says as Kol hugs her back.

"I have missed you too," Kol says.

Davina whispers in his ear, "Don't leave me again,"

Kol kisses her before he says, "I will never leave you again."

Rebekah and Finn come to the front door and Caroline and Rebekah hug, "I heard you and Kol took a five year vacation."

Caroline laughs before saying, "It was so much fun. I'll tell you all about it."

Rebekah smiles and says, "I can't wait."

Finn looks around confused to say, "What is going on? Who is that?" he points to Davina.

Kol pulls her deeper into his arms and Elijah is tired as he says, "Rebekah, you didn't tell Finn anything after you undaggered him."

Rebekah is annoyed as she says, "I told him the year, gave him a blood bag, explained Davina is Kol's girlfriend and Finn didn't believe me."

Elijah rubs the bridge of his nose and starts to explain the 20th century to Finn. Elijah finished his explanation by saying, "Kol met Davina when we were in New Orleans in the 1800s and they started dating. Davina is also Niklaus' witch. Mikael found us, we ran and Davina came with us. I would also like to have a family dinner all of us."

"There is no way I'm pretending to be fine with Niklaus daggering me. He took eight hundred years of my life, I could have spent it with Sage. To have a family dinner and pretend we're a happy family is impossible," Finn yells.

Elijah is annoyed and tired, it's been a long five years, "Finn, no one is saying you have to forgive Niklaus but I just want one family dinner before you leave and find Sage."

Finn is angry at all of his siblings for keeping him in that box for eight hundred years so he storms out of the house.
