"Seriously, where is Caroline?" Bonnie Bennett spoke to her best friend Elena, worried about their bubbly blonde friend who had yet to turn up for cheerleading practise.

Taking a drink from her white water bottle Elena replies I don't know. It's not like her." Resting her forearms on her knees, she looked around to see if can see Caroline anywhere.

"I'll try her again." Bonnie suggests hopefully just as Elena spots a light blue 1969 Chevy Camaro Convertible with loud music coming from the stereo heading towards cheerleading practise.

"Uh…" Elena says pointing to the car when seeing her missing friend in the passenger seat. She also sees the driver wearing a black leather jacket and had sunglasses covering his eyes.

"Oh, my god." Bonnies looked to where her brunette friend was pointing as Caroline learned over to kiss the driver. "That must be the mystery guy from the Grill."

"That's not mystery guy. That's Damon Salvatore." Elena stood up while informing Bonnie the name of the guy who appeared to be Caroline's new boyfriend.

"Salvatore? As in Stefan?" Bonnie spoke, shock clearly evident in her voice. She stood up too so she could stand next to Elena. Both girls watched as Caroline pretty much bounded out of Damon's car in a very happy mood.

"I got the other brother. Hope you don't mind." Caroline practically sang, strutting to go walk between Elena and Bonnie. She then turned to address the other cheerleading who were just sitting and standing around with nothing to do expect get warmed up.

"Sorry I'm late Girls. I, uh, was busy." Elena warily eyed Damon as Caroline spoke in her cheerful voice. She saw Damon look at her as well. Elena noticed Damon smirk at her and raise his eyebrows as Caroline said 'busy.'

Caroline continued to speak to the cheerleaders "Alright, let's start with the double-pike herkie hurdler. What do you say?" Elena still watches Damon as he drives away.

Ding Dong

The doorbell of the Gilbert household rang interrupting the dinner Elena had organised to get Bonnie and Stefan acquainted.

"I wonder who that could be." Elena got up from the table to answer the door leaving bonnie and Stefan with nothing to do but smile at each other.

As soon as Elena had the door open she heard a bubbly voice call out.

"Surprise. Bonnie said you were doing dinner, so we brought dessert." Elena saw Damon standing behind Caroline as she spoke.

"Oh" was all Elena could say.

"Hope you don't mind." Damon spoke for the first time since Elena answered the door. He smiled his charming smile at her. Caroline walked in without asking to come inside handing Elena the dessert. However Damon remained in the doorway, unable to enter.

Stefan came to the door where he sees his older brother. "What are you doing here?" he asks Damon not very politely.

"Waiting for Elena to invite me in." Damon replies sincerely unaffected by Stefan less than pleasant welcome.

"Oh, yeah, you can-" Elena started but Stefan cut her off.

"No no no." Quickly Stefan says so Damon won't be able to enter Elena's home. Elena looks at Stefan confusion on her face. Stefan looks at Elena before continuing.

"He can't, um…" Stefan looks at Damon. "He can't stay." Stefan looks back to Elena then Damon again. Elena looks at Damon too while Stefan continued to speak to his older brother. "Can you Damon?"

"Get in here." Caroline interrupted.

"We're just finishing up." Stefan takes his eyes off his brother to look at Elena.

"It's fine. Just come on in." Elena invited Damon in with a smile despite Stefan effort to keep him out.

Damon looks at Stefan before smiling at Elena. He stepped inside walking past his brother and Elena. With Damon's back turned Elena looked at Stefan in shock that someone could be so rude to their own family.

"You have a beautiful home, Elena." Damon spoke turning to face Elena taking in his surroundings.

"Thank you." Elena accepts the compliment and closes the door while Damon looks at Stefan and Stefan looks back. His face expressionless.

Sitting down with the dessert and hot drinks all around Elena, Stefan, Damon, Caroline and Bonnie were in the Gilbert living room. Elena and Stefan on the couch next to each other, Damon and Caroline on a chair and Bonnie on another chair opposite Damon and Caroline.

I cannot believe that Mr Tanner let you on the team." Caroline spoke to Stefan with a big grin on her face. "Tyler must be seething. But good for you. Go for it."

"That's what I always tell him. You have to engage." Damon says to his little brother. "You can't just sit there and wait for life to come. You have to go get it." Damon looked at Stefan as he was saying the last part.

"Yeah, Elena wasn't so lucky today. It's only because you missed summer camp. I don't know how you're ever gonna learn the routines." Caroline spoke to Elena, resting one hand on Damon's knee.

"I'll work with her. She'll get it." Bonnie speaks up.

Oblivious to Bonnie speaking to her Caroline continues "I guess I could put her in the back." Elena looks at Caroline with no expression.

"You know, you don't seem like the cheerleader type, Elena." Damon told Elena. Elena smiles faintly then takes a drink from the mug in her hands looking a bit sad.

"It's because her parents died. Yeah, I mean, she's just totally going through a blah phase. She used to be way more fun." Caroline was laughing a little as she spoke about when Elena 'used to be more fun'. Bonnie looks at Caroline with an expression of disbelief that she would bring up her friend's dead parents over coffee and dessert.

"And I say that with complete sensitivity." Caroline said in seriousness when she catches the look Bonnie was giving her.

"I'm sorry Elena. I know what it's like to lose both your parents." Damon says before his talkative girlfriend could speak again. Elena looks down at her lap when Damon speaks. "In fact, Stefan and I have watched almost every..." Elena looks at Damon" single person we've ever cared about die.

"We don't need to get into that right now, Damon." Stefan says for the first time in a while.

"Oh, you're right, Stef. I'm sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was bring her up." Chuckling a bit Damon then smiles. Elena and Stefan look away.

In the kitchen Elena bends down to put something in the dishwasher as she stands up she hears a voice form behind her.

"One more." Damon walks up from behind Elena as she turns to face him.

"Mm. Thank you." Elena says sweetly reaches for the glass in Damon's hand. He hands Elena the glass but it slips from her grasp. Damon with his quick reflexes catches the glass before it could smash on the kitchen floor. Elena gasps as Damon catches the glass then starts chuckling softy for a moment.

"Nice save." She takes the glass from him with a smile. Damon smiles back.

"I like you" he points a finger at her "you know how to laugh. And you make Stefan smile which is something I haven't seen in a very long time."

Elena looks at Damon cautiously before speaking "earlier did you mean Katherine?" Elena goes to lean down to the dishwasher when Damon takes the plate from her hands and does it for her.

"Mmmhmmm." Is all Damon says in response.

"How did she die?" Elena looks at Damon.

"In a fire. Tragic fire." Elena hands Damon another plate to put in the dishwasher, which he does.

"Recently?" Elena questions

"It seems like it was yesterday." Elena looks at Damon slightly surprised by his answer.

Taking a deep breath before she asked her next question. "What was she like?"

Damon was silent, thinking. "She was beautiful. A lot like you in that department." He leans down to put another dish in the dishwasher. "She was also very complicated and selfish, and at times not very kind. But very sexy and seductive." Damon finishes quickly.

"So which one of you dated her first?" Elena hands Damon the last plate.

Damon chuckles, putting the plate in the dishwasher. "Nicely deduced. Ask Stefan. I'm sure his answer differs from mine." Damon then leaned down to close the dishwasher.

Elena smiles then walks to the island in the middle of the kitchen with Damon remaining by the sink with his arms folded over his chest. She begins to fold fabric placemats when Damon walks up to her.

"I'd quit cheerleading if I were you." Damon sits down and starts to help Elena. She looks at him surprised for his comment about quitting cheerleading.

"Why do you say that?"

"Oh, I saw you at practise. You looked miserable." Damon answers.

"You saw that?" Elena asks.

"Am I wrong?" Raising his eyebrows at 'wrong' Damon looks up at Elena.

"I used to love it. It was fun. But things are different this year. Everything that used to matter doesn't anymore." Elena replies honestly.

"So don't let it. Quit, move on. Problem solved ta-da!" Damon says like it's the simplest thing in the world. Elena smiles and laughs quietly at that.

"Some things could matter again."

"Maybe. But it seems a little unrealistic to me." Damon smiles as Elena looks down then back up at him again.

"I'm sorry." Damon frowns, confused at what she's apologizing for. "About Katherine." Damon looks at Elena surprised. "You lost her too." Damon continues to look at Elena not saying anything.

"Hey, need some help." Bonnie enters the kitchen with a grin interrupting the moment between Damon and Elena. Elena smiles back at her.

"Sure, why not?" Damon answers with his charming smile.

Later once everyone had left Elena's dinner, she and Stefan were in her room on her bed taking about the night they had just had.

"Tonight wasn't so bad. I had fun." Elena says happily

"Mm. That makes one of us." Stefan says a bit gloomy. Elena scoffs at him.

"Come on. Your brother isn't as bad as you make him out to be." Stefan put one finger on Elena's bottom lips, stopping her from continuing.

Stefan, with one hand on her cheek leans closer to his girlfriend to kiss her. Elena lies down with Stefan lying on top of her, not stopping their make out session. Elena then pushes Stefan back so that his lies sideways on her bed then climbs on top of him, both panting with desire they start to make out again

Stefan lying on Elena's teddy bear stops kissing her to pull it out from under him, Elena seeing Stefan move her bear out the way starts to chuckle then sits up to pull her top off revealing her white bra underneath. Leaning down she starts kissing Stefan again.

Stefan stops so he could pull his shirt over his head when Damon is revealed beneath Elena smiling his winning smile at her. Shocked that she was making out with Stefan who then turned into Damon, Elena jumps back from him screaming.

Elena wakes up with a gasp and starts panting for air. She gets out of bed to get the glass on her desk so she could get water. Not noticing to black crow on her window ledge.

Elena walks to her car, unlocking it so she could open the boot to put her bag in it. She closes it, locks her car then turns around and come face to face with Damon. Like the first time they met.

She gasps in shock the pants "You scared me. What… what are you doing here?"

Damon whispers "I'm hiding from Caroline."

Elena, playing along, whispers back "And why is that?"

"I needed a break. She talks more than I can listen." Damon speaks normally again.

Elena laugh softy "That could be a sign." She speaks properly.

"Well she awfully young." He smiles at her.

"Not much younger that you are."

"Yeah." Damon pauses for a moment. "I don't see it going anywhere in the bigger picture. I think she'd drive me crazy." Damon smiles again at Elena.

"Caroline does have some really annoying traits but we've been friends since first grade and that means something to me." Elena says in all seriousness.

"Duly noted. I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable. That's just not my intention." Damon smiles his charming smile at Elena.

"Yes it is. Otherwise you wouldn't put an alternative meaning behind everything you say." Damon smiles at Elena response. He looks down then back at Elena's face.

"You're right. I do have other intentions, but so do you."

"Really?" Elena asks having no idea what Damon was talking about.

"Mm-hmm. I see them. You want me." Damon says knowingly

"Excuse me?" Elena scoffs in disbelief at what she was hearing from her boyfriend's older brother.

"I get to you. You find yourself drawn to me. You think about me when you don't wanna think about me. I bet you've dreamed about me."

Elena looks at him in silence, remembering she was dreaming about him the other night.

"And right now, you wanna kiss me." Damon smirks and leans closer to Elena's face as she remains still and silence.

SLAP

Elena hit Damon's cheek as hard as she could. "What the hell? I don't know what game you're trying to play with Stefan but I don't wanna be part of it. And I don't know what happened in the past but let's get one thing straight. I am not Katherine." Elena spoke the last part clearly hoping to get it through to Damon before walking away, leaving him alone in the parking lot. Damon turns to watch as she walks away.

TVD

Elena had fallen asleep after writing in her journal, the lamp by her bedside still on when Damon appeared in her room. Softly so he won't wake her Damon runs a finger down the side of Elena cheek. He does it again, watching her sleep.

Abruptly Elena awakens looking around her room, she then puts her journal on her bedside table and switches off her lamp to fall asleep again.
