Authors note: Hi guys!

Alright, I know you might have thought that I ALREADY had another chapter for you... sorry. Not yet, but in due time, and I am absolutely POSITIVE you will love the scene that I have planned for the next chapter. (hint, hint; it involves Elena dressing Damon... how many of your minds went to the gutter?)

But, first I had a couple questions for you. I had only intended in writing this until September 9th, (well, preferably the 8th, because the ninth is the premiere of season 2!) which means that this story will only have about ten chapters at most, (most likely seven or eight). Here is my dilemma, I am a big fan of open endings, things that you interpret any way and can debate over, (INCEPTION, DISCUSS) but not everyone likes that.

Here is the thing, Elena and Damon's story will never end, their passion for each other is too strong to ever burn out on it's own, like an eternal wildfire. It scorches and burns to the touch and leaves you breathless, it takes everything away. I need to know now how you would like your ending.

Yes, I, as the author, am asking my readers and reviewers to TELL me (leave a comment and review) how they would like their ending, what they would enjoy in this story. Jeremy is going to be cleared up in the next chapter, as well as when Katherine was with Stefan alone, and presumably, knocked him out ("okay fine, he's fine, he's upstairs sleeping" sleeping is the nice way for Katherine to put "I knocked his lights out").

I want to know what you would appreciate in this story, what side of Damon and Elena you would like to see, should Elena acknowledge her feelings? Should she bury them? Should she confront Damon so they can figure it out together? Should Stefan already know, and tell her that he can't be with another "Katherine" (I know that's OOC, but come on, this is just random ideas i'm throwing) I want to stay on my usually updated schedule of (roughly) once every three days, and that is why I need to know now.

Would you like Damon and Elena to have their happy ending? Would you like them to have to end it, once and for all (not likely, but I'm all ears!)? Do you think that I should kill Damon or Elena? Should the other one die too? ...that was a stretch.

What do you want? As a reader and a reviewer, what ending and MOST IMPORTANTLY, if you could see any scene from any time in their life, what would you want to see? Flash forwards are just as possible as flash backs. And, if you have an idea for a scene, one that isn't too OOC and I could easily form it into a deeper meaning kinda thing, I really want to know.

As an author, my only wish is to please you, that is all I want. That is the ultimate happiness for me. I know I will never make ALL of you happy, (unless you are some freakadelic united mass of people who all want the same exact thing) but I am going to try my damnedest.

Now, one last thing, I have been searching around for videos on youtube to show what my fan fiction story is, roughly. Almost like a trailer! I didn't have much faith when I was looking, but then I found three of the most spectacular videos that PERFECTLY explain the message I am trying to get across with this story! Hell, maybe you've seen them all, but re-watch them, then read a chapter. It's eerie.
