Morning Glory

As the sun rose the next day Elena got up, readying herself to another day. Happy that all had gone well last night, and glad at the possibility of Matt finally finding someone... normal, made her have a little spring in her step. As she walked down the stairs she saw Rick as usual reading the paper, as soon as he saw Elena he said, "Someone's in a happy mood!"

Elena just shrugged a smile spreading across her face, "Is it that notice able?"

Rick just shrugged and said, "Not really, it's just that you haven't been happy...or smiling lately. What are you so happy about?" Rick is now intrigued as he thought to himself,'has there been any news about Stefan?'

Elena replied, "Can't I be happy without there being an explanation?" Rick nodded thoughtfully and went back to his paper.

Elena, now in her car drove off to school, where she was then met by Bonnie and Caroline. Elena then saw Amy's car asked, "Where's Amy?"

Caroline answered, "I don't know exactly...she came in pretty early, I didn't ask her where she was going, she looked pretty sad so I just didn't bother her." Elena, now alarmed went strait into the school on the mission to find Amy.

As Matt drove up to school he saw Amy's blue mini cooper and without thinking parked right next to it hoping to be able to talk to her after school. As Matt stepped into the building he felt drawn to the music room like that was where he needed to be. As Matt made his way through the halls he could hear a flute being played this just made him come closer and closer to the music room were he saw that a crowd of guys were outside the door looking in through the window. As Matt made his way through the crowd to see what was making the sweet sound he saw Amy. Her eyes were closed as she played the melodic song on a golden plated flute. The longer he stayed the more mesmerized he became. The passion and sadness in the playing was so beautiful that it made everyone in the hall stop and listen.

As the song came to an end Amy finally opened her eyes to see about twenty guys and girls staring at her through the glass. Now red faced Amy quickly put away her flute, quickly (And rather loudly) shuffling through her sheet music and opened the music room door. As she exited the music room all of the boys that had listened now just stepped aside and let her pass still having the shock of being subjected to such beauty. Amy made a dash for her locker were she stuffed her flute and her sheet music. Upon closing her locker door she jumped at the sight of Tyler Lockwood! His eyes were curious and yet admiring as he asked, "Where did you learn how to play like that?"

Amy blushed and asked, "You heard that?" Tyler replied with a very enthusiastic nod so Amy continued, "Years and Years of practice." Amy said smiling at herself as she recalled all of the late nights when she was alone practicing her flute learning the latest composers songs which now people would call ancient, even though when she first played them they had just debuted in a concert or an opera.

Tyler satisfied with her answer just said,"Well if you play like that at the band concerts I can tell you now that you'll have a huge turnout."

Amy's blush deepened and said, "Thanks!" Tyler put his hand on Amy's shoulder sighed and then left.

Matt now searching for Amy even harder was in a whirlwind of emotions. All he knew was that he had to see her. When he finally found her talking to Tyler. Now anxious and impatient to talk to Amy, he quickly relaxes as Tyler left, he went right up to Amy and gave her a huge bear hug. Amy was shocked at how sudden the strong arms were wrapped around her, she didn't even see Matt approach Matt let her go he began to say, "That was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard! What was the name of the song you played?"

Amy blushed again as she realized that the whole male student body must have heard her playing and said, " I was playing En'tracte ...It's a song from the Opera Carmen."

Matt looked intrigued and asked,"What part in the Opera is that song played?"

Amy smiled happily surprised at the question and said, "It's sort of in the middle of the Opera, by middle I mean in between songs where the sadness of it is preparing the audience for the sad end of the man character Carmen. It's a really sad but beautiful story.I love the musicality of the song."

Matt smiled and said, "Well you played it beautifully!" As they starred into one another's eyes Matt drew closer and closer, at this Amy didn't pull away she felt a strong feeling within her gut that she would regret it if she pulled away. As Matt got close enough to touch nose to nose the bell rang, causing them to jump back in surprise. Amy then smiled to herself and thought, 'Not this time.' she then said, "I guess we better be getting to class." Matt nodded and said, "I'll see you in history?" Amy nodded and they both parted company.

When Elena saw Amy for the first time she saw how her face was just transitioning from a bright red back to her normal complexion she came straight to her and asked, "What did I miss?" Amy sighed in relief that not everyone heard her little performance , "Nothing! You missed nothing lets get to class." As Amy said this she quickly grabbed Elena's wrist and dragged her to there english class. Elena couldn't help but feel happy with Amy, she always felt safe and happy with her...as if they had been friends for years not just a day. The fact that Matt liked her too just made Elena like her even more. Ever since Matt and Caroline broke up Elena has been trying to find someone for him.

As Amy and Elena left their english class Elena couldn't help but wonder..."Did you and Matt have a fun time last night?" Amy smiled at the memory and replied, "Yeah! I had a lot of fun!" Elena rolled her eyes and said, "Oh come on ... You two were acting pretty cozy last time I saw you. Do you like him?" Amy blushed as she remembered the way Matt hugged her the same morning, and replied, "Well..." Elena now earnest to hear her answer prompts, "Oh come on! Well what!" Amy now feeling the sense of trust that only friendship could give decides to tell her everything so she continues, "Well he did ask me to the masquerade coming up! Is that good?" Elena couldn't contain herself , "YES! That is very good! It means he likes you! A lot!" Amy smiled as she thought of Matt, he was cute, strong, and had the boyish charm that reminded her of a former Klaus that she couldn't help but love.

As the day progressed there was no sign of Stefan that made Amy and Elena relax a little but as the school day ended one Salvatore made an appearance . As Damon made his way through the parking lot he caught Amy's eye, "Who is that?" she asked Elena. "Oh that's Damon Salvatore Stefan's older brother." Immediately Amy didn't trust him, 'He must be a vampire too.' Amy thought to herself, 'I better get Elena out of here I wonder if she knows about him? She is the double ganger after all...' "Hey Elena do you know him?" Asked Amy, Elena nodded and said, "Yeah I know him he's a really nice guy... Once you get to know him." 'Awe so she does know him. That means that he hasn't hurt her...but being brothers with Salvatore he must know who I am...' As Amy thought this Damon came closer to both of them, "Hello Ladies!" Damon said in his usual charming way. "Hello Damon, it's nice to see you! Have you met my friend Amy?"

Damon smiled slightly and said, "No I have not yet had the pleasure." Damon then took a hold of Amy's hand and kissed it in the way any southern gentlemen would. Amy drew her hand away in disgust as she replied, "It's nice to meet you Mr. Salvatore. How is your brother I didn't see him at school today?" Damon smirked as he thought of Stefan graveling on the ground in pain because of this little girl, "My brother hasn't been feeling well ever since last night I'm afraid that he caught a cold." Amy smiled along with Damon acting with mutual concern, "Well lets hope that you won't catch it." Amy sending the threat more through her eyes then her voice now smiles at Damon who's smile has disappeared completely. "Oh won't you look at that!" Said Amy looking at her watch, "I have to get going Eileen asked me to pick somethings up for her. I'll see you later Elena, it was nice meeting you Damon." As Amy left Damon turned to Elena and said, "We need to talk!" "What about?" Asked Elena with a shrug. "Your friend Amy isn't who you think she is!"

Elena now indignant asks, "And who exactly is she?" Damon smirked and replied, "She just so happens to be Klaus's long lost lover."

"What?"
