AN: / Thanks Joan89 for the review. I'm glad that you like this story! :D
I was watching season 3 episode 3, which the story is based off of, and I realized that there was a gap in time between a couple of the flash backs. In one flash back, Klaus didn't really like Stefan, but in another they were smiling and calling each other brothers. So I am going to show that change in the next few chapters.
"How do I look?" Rebekah asked Klaus as she came out of her room and into the living room. She was wearing a light blue dress with lace at the collar. It was much more modest than her other dresses. Rebekah looked sophisticated instead of a flapper.
Klaus gave Stefan permission to escort Rebekah to a dinner party for a women's group that Rebekah had taken an interest in. The dinner was inside the Chicago boundary and Klaus was beginning to have some trust in Mr. Salvatore.
"Beautiful, sister," Klaus said not looking up from his painting.
"The least you could do is look up," Rebekah said. She walked over to the window to see is she could see Stefan walking below. "After the dinner, Stefan and I will meet you at Gloria's."
"If you insist, but you aren't wearing that to Gloria's are you?" He asked, finally looking up.
"No, of course not, I have to wear this for the dinner. I do want the other ladies to like me. They seem like a good group of women, and I would like to join them; I do need something to do during my days," Rebekah said.
"I am sorry, sister, that there hasn't been much to do here for you. I would usually suggest that we leave, but I want to learn more about Gloria; she seems to be powerful. I also like how we have a protection spell around us. If only Elijah was here with us…"
"I know. I do like it here. I love the night life, I just need to find something to occupy my time during the day, and I think this could be it if it all goes well tonight."
There was a knock at the door.
"I'll be right there," Rebekah said softly knowing that Stefan would be able to hear her. She quickly went to the mirror and checked her makeup.
When she opened the door, Stefan took her hand and brought it to his lips.
"Good evening, Miss Mikealson," Stefan said.
"Everyone, please be seated," The head of the women's group said. She was at the head of the table in a dark red dress. She had her wrapped into a tight bun at the back of her head. She seemed very professional and a no nonsense woman.
They were all around a large table that was set for dinner. The room was very big and it connected to a ball room that was larger than Stefan's entire apartment. The whole building was amazing; it was very large and beautiful. Each room was a different color. Whoever owned the building had to be very rich. Stefan wished that he could have that kind of money. Although he did suppose he had something better; immortality.
Stefan was sitting next to Rebekah, but she was talking to a woman on the other side of her. Rebekah had spent the whole night talking to her, which was starting to piss off Stefan. He went with her so she would think of him as more than just a flavor of the week, but so far it had not been worth it. Stefan had nothing in common with any of the other men in the room. And above all there was no alcohol.
Why did these people have to be so squeaky clean? Stefan wondered.
They were serving tea and lemonade and none of the other gentlemen had flasks on them to spruce up the evening. Stefan brought his flask, but Rebekah confiscated it back at her apartment. She told him that she wanted him to be presentable and not drunk. She also told him to be a man a suck it up for a few hours.
Stefan was just waiting for the dinner to be over, so he and Rebekah could go to Gloria's.
"Mr. Salvatore?" The woman next to Rebekah was trying to bring him into their conversation.
"Yes," he said.
"I was just asking what you did for a living," she said.
Stefan wondered what he did for a living. He had many jobs over the years; he was in the military, but war is over now, so he can't say that. Lexi mad him work in a homeless shelter to realize that he was taking peoples' lives, but that wouldn't impress these people.
Stefan looked a Rebekah, she was trying to tell him something with her eyes, but he was just not sure what.
"I am a business man, I have traveled all over the country, but I mainly work from Chicago or New York City," Stefan had a feeling that that was what Nik did, but he had never talked business with the original.
Rebekah looked like she was happy with his response.
"Wow that is incredible. Have you been all the way to California?" the woman asked.
"Yes I have. I saw the Pacific Ocean, It just stretched out for miles and miles," Stefan said.
"But I'm sure it is much like the good old Atlantic," a man said from across the table. It was obvious to Rebekah and Stefan that this man had not traveled much, if at all. He seemed small and timid.
"I suppose it is," Rebekah said. "But, of course, it is so much larger. I could not even imagine how long the trip would be to cross it by boat."
"Would you ever travel it to see China?" The woman asked Stefan.
"I'm not sure, in the future I probably will," Stefan said.
"China isn't worth your time. It didn't seem that exotic to me," Rebekah said before she took a drink of her lemonade.
"Have you been there, Miss. Mikealson?" the man asked shocked that a woman would travel so far.
"Yes, many years ago. I went with my family. My brothers are much like Stefan; they both travel for work, and my one brother opted to take the entire family with him to see the world."
"I couldn't even imagine," The woman next to Rebekah said.
That was the end of that conversation because dinner came out and the conversation turned to smaller chit-chat.
After dinner, the group moved into the library where they had after dinner drinks, which consisted of coffee and more tea. Stefan was bored and wanted to leave, but the women were just about ready to talk about their next event and they wanted to include Rebekah in the planning.
The women discussed about having a meeting in the next few days to plan for a charity ball. Rebekah very much wanted to be a part of the planning. She suggested that they have a raffle at the ball to draw in more money.
The ladies' claimed that it was a magnificent idea, and since they had never had one before they felt that it would draw more people in for a chance to try and win.
It was decided that Rebekah would work along with the regular planners so she would learn how they planned the events. Rebekah was a little frustrated that she was being taken under their wing since she was older than all of them, and she had planned famous balls for the king of England, but she decided to act as a normal human and not a supernatural that was a few centuries old.
Rebekah and Stefan made it to Gloria's quickly after leaving the dinner party. Stefan took two drinks from a passing waiter. The vampires both downed them quickly glad to have alcohol in their system after the long night.
