AN: Bonenzo is NOT, I repeat, NOT endgame, okay? I don't care what Julie Plec and the other TVD writers are doing with the plot but there is zero chemistry between them and I am not okay with this ship at all.


Bonnie and Damon were waiting outside the Salvatore house, after ringing the door bell.

'Just try not to kill Julian again.'

'Fallen for his devilishly handsome looks already, have we, Bon-bon?'

'Please, he literally beats the crap out of pregnant women and he gives me the creeps.'

'Good', he stated.

'Jealous?' asked Bonnie, cocking her head to one side and smirking.

But the door opened before Damon could retort with a comeback. He greeted his mother instead, who was dressed in a wrap dress and heels.

'Momma Salvatore. We need to talk.'

'It's important,' said Bonnie. 'You gonna let us in?'

'So you can kill me again?' said Julian from behind, snaking his arms around Lily's waist. 'Sorry kids, we're on our way out to dinner. One that doesn't involve any bloodshed. Are you ready, love?'

Damon threw up a little in his mouth. 'Cute. But my business with my mother doesn't involve you. Count yourself lucky.'

'It's okay, my love,' said Lily. 'Whatever they have to say will only take a moment.'

Julian narrowed his blue eyes, bowed his head in Bonnie's direction with a smirk and left them alone. Yep, still creepy, she thought.

'If this is about our plan-' started Lily, speaking in a low whisper.

'No- like I'd be stupid enough to talk about that here with your witchy kids around. It's about the phoenix stone.'

'Why do you still have that?'

'Uh, because it brings people back from the dead? Something bad happened with my friend, Ric and, well, we tried to bring his wife back from the dead but then he ended up dead. Why did that happen?'

Lily's eyes grew wide and she turned to the fellow witch.

'Miss Bennett, did you read the spell properly?'

'As far as I know.'

'What does that mean?'

'It means,' started Bonnie, biting her lip, 'that there were a few things I couldn't translate, so-'

'-we may have ignored them,' finished Damon.

Lily shook her head, eyes full of pity. 'Oh, my son. I always thought Stefan was the naive one. How wrong I was.'
