What You Least Expect...

Author's Note: And now for part dos! I want to thank everyone who reviewed,

alerted, favorited, or just read the first chapter. You guys rock! Read.

Review. Enjoy

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the witty/creative ways I try to make these

sentences less painful

Jeremy's POV

A vacation to Fell's Church, Virginia. No catch, no strings, no diabolical plot.

Just a summer getaway for a group of friends. Just bonding and good times. No

villains, no ulterior motives, no cruel intentions. From Damon Salvatore.

Suuure. It's more likely for me to be Paris Hilton's purse dog than for Damon to

be telling the truth.

"You must be denser than I already thought. We are sooo not going anywhere

with you, Damon!" Bonnie huffed.

"Anyone but me think that Bonnie is a mind reader?" I asked. All hands went up.

Except for one. Great. Just great.

"I think we should give him a chance." Sometimes, I really hate my older sister.

"He's been good for the past couple of months. No killings, no turnings, no

random girls found bleeding in the street. Damon could actually mean well."

"Thank you, Elena. It's nice to know someone still likes me." Damon said.

"Technically, I never liked you." I stifled a laugh. You gotta love Bonnie.

Elena ignored her.

"I think that getting away for awhile would be good for us. All of us." I

sighed, knowing exactly where this was going. I couldn't remember the last time

Princess Elena didn't get her way- my memory doesn't stretch to B.C. times.

"I think not." I whipped my head around so that I faced Stefan. He refused

Elena. Him. This was going to get interesting.

T.V. Stefan's POV

"I think not." Everyone stared at me. Bonnie with content (she really had

stopped being Elena's lackie). Damon with disbelief. Jeremy with surprise. Not

one of them knew me to refuse Elena. Especially not Elena.

"Stefan? Why do you continue to ignore the fact that your brother can be kind?" Everyone knew she was really asking why I refused her.

"Because, love, he can't be trusted." I decided to answer her spoken question.

In truth, I was the most confuffled (A/N: a word i created. It means confused or

bewildered.) of all. Since when could I refuse Elena? Her charm? Her compassion?

Was that not like refusing your heart blood, or your lungs air? "But, if you

really believe Damon means well- then I with you." The thought of me refusing

her was so disturbing, I decided to change my vote. In the back of my mind,

however, I did continue to wonder what the fact that I was able to deny her

something meant.

T.V. Bonnie's POV

I sighed loudly for what seemed to be the billionth time this morning. We were

scheduled to leave later in the afternoon and I was still not completely packed.

Yes, Elena convinced us to go on this "vacation" by appealing to each of our

individual weak points. I guess I'm not really surprised. Elena is Elena- she

always will be.

_*•+ Flashback +•*_

"Bon, please! If we don't do this for Damon he'll probably act out just to prove

he's the monster we perceive him to be!" Elena exclaimed. "More jerk behavior,

the 'animal attacks' will start back, the town will lose its newfound peace.

People will die. The Mystic Falls could crumble." She always did think of the worst case

scenario, but she did have a point.

"Yes please come, Sabrina." Damon mocked, appearing outside my window. "If you

don't then big, bad Damon will go on a tirade!" His smirk widened as he look us

over. "And might I add, you should wear exactly what you wearing now for the

entire summer." I blushed as I realized I was realized I was in my littlest

shorts and a form- fitting tank top. He winked and, thankfully, Elena saved me.

"She was just agreeing on coming. Right, Bonnie?" I nodded ready to say anything

to get me out of this situation. "Perfect! The others have already said yes!

Caro needs a new swimsuit though, so we're going shopping. Are you coming?" I

said no. Damon had already disappeared, and Elena was walking out of the door. I

needed time to recover as the realization of what I just did finally hit me.

_*•+ Present +•*_

Who knows what will happen on this trip? Maybe this will end well. I laughed at

myself. Wishful thinking, Bonnie. Wishful thinking.

Author's Note: So there you have it! The gang is officially leaving for the

summer. If they only knew what awaits! (If I only knew what awaits!) And for

those of you who are still stunned that Stefan is able to say no to Elena, I'm

trying to set it up for different couple possibilities! With the book

characters coming in the pairings are bound to get mixed! :D

I feel so guilty for not updating sooner! I've had this

chapter written since the first one was up but figured since there were only

four reviews there was no need to rush. Boy, was I wrong! I didn't check my

email so I didn't know that about 20 people alerted and favorited! Soooo sorry

guys but it's here now and I'm working on chapter three. It'll be up soon I

promise. As always, review! The little button is lonely!

:P

Much Love,
