Warnings

As Matt and Amy walked out of the ice cream shop laughing at how funny the ice cream server was, Matt became rigid, his jaw clenching, and fists tightening. Amy went to see what had made Matt so angry but all she saw was a dark figure walking towards them. Matt stepped forward covering Amy from the figure's view as he said, "What are you doing here?" A voice replied, "Oh Matt, it's good to see you too! I'm just walking...Hello there... Amy! It's nice to see you again." peering from behind Matt Amy finally saw the face of which the mysterious voice, it was Stefan... The guy that stopped Amy in the hallway. Amy could tell the danger so she answered him, "It's nice to see you too... Stefan, Elena has told me so much about you." Now turning to Matt she said, "You want to get out of here? I'm starting to get cold." Matt turned to her nodded, and led her toward his car. She followed not looking back at Stefan and entered Matt's car. Leaving Stefan alone in the street. Matt quickly drove back to the grill so that Amy could get her car. As Matt escorted Amy to her car, he never left her side, he felt very protective over her no matter what he wasn't going to let Stefan get to her. Not in the way Damon got to Vickie. Amy smiled as Matt opened her car door for her, he then said, "I had a really nice time with you Amy."

"Me too! The ice cream was great!" Matt smiled widely then his smile disappeared, "Amy, Stefan isn't a nice guy... in fact he is actually really dangerous; promise me you'll stay away from him!" Amy's eyes grew wide as she nodded thoughtfully. Having his smile returning Matt sighed in relief. Amy smiled and said, "Thank you!"

"For what?" Matt asked as he began to lean onto the car, "For making this the best night I've had in a really long time!" Matt's smile spread across his child like face as he replied, "Really?" Amy nodded to his question smiling back Matt continued, "Do you want to do it again? I mean there's this masquerade ball coming up and I was wondering if you wanted to go? With...me?" Amy's eyes brightened, "Yes! I would love to go with you! It sounds like a lot of fun." Matt's eyes became jubilant as Amy continued, "Why is there a masquerade? Is that a usual thing around here?"

"No, well last year our mayor, Tyler's dad, decided to do a masquerade for the fund raiser, he then died about a month later. It was decided that we would hold a masquerade every year in his memory." Amy nodded solemnly and said, "That's awful...I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Absolutely!" As Matt said this Amy began to get into her car, a small mini cooper with an ice blue paint. As Amy pulled away she turned back to wave at Matt giving him one last smile before leaving the parking lot.
