Summary : "All I know is that everything changes tomorrow, it'll be all unicorns and rainbows," He chuckled, sarcastically. "You'll go back to protecting Elena while being unconditionally in love with Elijah, and Ill go back to living in the moment while simultaneously loving Elena." He backed up, being pulled into a humorless laughter. "Our lives are so fucked up." (Mainly KatherinexDamon). *All Human*

Rating : T for slight language and a few sex-related topics.

"And why do I defend

(C'mon, c'mon) your ignorance?

Oh, why do I defend

(C'mon, c'mon) the state you're in?

You should fall in love

With yourself, oh, again.

Fall in love with yourself."

"Anklebiters" - Paramore

New Orleans, Louisiana 7:01PM

"Are you serious right now?"

"As a heartbeat."

A blink.

"...I don't want to."

Rolled eyes.

"I don't care."

"I'm not doing it."

A sigh before a heavy handed push and a slightly evil smile.

"Oh, but you are."

Being shoved into a Ball isn't fun. Katherine could tell you this from experience. It was like the music was cut off as everybody stopped dancing, each of them glaring at the person that dared interrupt their royal dance.

Or whatever the hell this was.

"Elena!" A cheery voice said from Katherine's right. Turning her head, her eyes came in contact with a pair of dark brown ones. "I'm so glad you made it!"

What made this whole Ball thing worse was that everybody thought she was Elena. It seemed like Katherine Gilbert didn't exist in the state of Louisiana.

Katherine was about to turn around and leave but the doors opened once again and in stepped Stefan, his eyes peering down at Katherine in a relaxed and comfortable manner. He wrapped his arm around her waist and smiled at the woman that just called her Elena.

Katherine's eyes opened in surprise as her mouth went dry.

She began debating whether or not if she should end Stefan's life right then and there.

Her eyes scanned the room and decided against it.

Too many witnesses.

The sound of squealing caught Katherine's attention, because quite frankly, it hurt her freaking eardrums. She turned towards the woman who was still there.

"You guys are still together?!" A happy offbeat clap. "I'm so glad!"

Stefan smiled at the woman, before nodding. His grip on her waist tightened. "Of course." He looked over towards the dance floor.

He better not ask me to dance. He better no-

"Wanna dance?"

That ass wipe!

Through gritted teeth, Katherine answered. "Oh, sure. Why not?"

Stefan wasted no time in guiding her towards the slightly vacant dance floor.

"Why am I here?" She asked as they rocked on the dance floor. His right hand held hers, and his left hand was on her waist. Her left hand on his shoulder.

Am I really ballroom dancing right now?

The two looked everywhere but at each other.

"I already told you." He answered, simply. Katherine could hear the amusement in his voice.

"No, you told me you just needed me to portray Elena for the time being. You never mentioned dresses that way a freaking ton, and old black and white music I've never heard before!" She spat.

Seriously, she didn't even know what the hell they were dancing too.

She could bet that they pulled out a record player for this.

Stefan chuckled. "It's not that bad." He dipped her and brought her back up slowly.

"Not that bad?" She asked. "Dude, it smells like senior citizens in here!"

Spinning her around him, Stefan laughed.

"And when the hell did you learn how to ballroom dance?" she could feel someone's eyes looking at the two from afar. She already knew, without looking, who it was. "And who was that crazy blonde lady?"

Stefan looked down at her, his eyebrows raised. "You don't know who that was?"

Shaking her head, Katherine noted that the music was changing into something that was a bit more upbeat. She felt herself smile a little as she recognized the song.

Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield.

Sadly it was just the instrumental.

"That was your aunt. Jenna Sommers."

Raising an eyebrow, Katherine replied. "Aunt Jenna?" She looked at said woman over Stefan's shoulder. "I thought she was a brunette?"

Stefan only shook his head as he paid more attention to the music.

Wasn't this a Ball? What the hell are they doing playing music like this?

"Besides aunt Jenna always favored Elena. She probably doesn't even know that i'm still alive." Stefan laughed but knew that it was true. Elena and Jenna's relationship was always closer. It was kind've strange considering that Jenna is more like Katherine then anyone else in their family.

"Where's Lexi? Why couldn't she come?" Katherine found herself asking. The girl pushed her in, and she wasn't even here to enjoy Kat's torture.

"Half the people in this room...dislike her." Stefan answered in amusement. "We're going to meet up with her at some point tonight at some 1970's block party a few blocks down."

Katherine pouted. "Why does she get to have all the fun?"

Stefan found himself laughing again. Katherine was way more easier to be around then Elena.

"I made a bet." Stefan suddenly said, turning Katherine once more. "About how long Elena and I would last."

"With wh-" Katherine cut herself off. "Wait, no, don't tell me. You made a bet with aunt Jenna didn't you?"

Stefan nodded.

"Wow," Katherine responded, smiling a bit. "It seems that little 'ole Damon is growing on you, Stefan."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." He dismissed. "What is going on between you and Damon, lately? You two seem...off."

"Off?" Katherine tried to act as though she didn't know what he was talking about, but she did...and it just so turns out that she can't act.

At all.

But being the friend that Stefan is, he played along. "Yes. Off. What's up with you two?" he repeated.

Katherine began debating for the second time in one night. Should she lie? Or tell the truth? Stefan read her like an open book so she had only one choice.

"Nothing." Lie.

Clutching his heart in feign hurt, he gasped. "Lying? To me?"

She smiled as she sighed. "Fine. I want it. I mean him." She corrected. She cleared her throat before saying it louder. "Him. I want him."

"That's good. It's good to want things, Katherine." She was surprised. Why was he so calm?

"You already knew didn't you?"

"Katherine...Everybody already knew. Other then Damon, that is." Stefan said. "Oh and Elijah." he added as an afterthought.

Stefan watched her face as she got lost in her thoughts. After a few minutes her face went pink, an embarrassed smile lingering at the corners of her lips. Smiling, he said: "You know, right now isn't the time to fantasize about Damon."

Katherine looked at him, rolling her eyes. "Jackass." But her face was still pink, possibly even brighter then before.

Laughing, Stefan, dipped her once again.

New Orleans, Louisiana 9:13PM

When the two finally met up with Lexi, she was leaning back against an old red chevy, a red cup in her hand and her eyes wondering. She was wearing a pair of rolled up skinnies, a black and white stripped shirt and a leather jacket. On her feet was a pair of black and white converses and her hair was in a messy bun. The girl looked as if she just stepped out of a 1970's movie.

"Looking for me?" Stefan greeted as he stood in front of her. Lexi laughed slightly, before bringing her hand to his head, touching his gelled up hair.

"Ya' know," she began, before taking a sip of her drink. "You're giving John Travolta a run for his money."

He laughed as he decided to lean on next to her.

"Of course, in a blonde, kinda way." She added, eying his eyes. "With green eyes."

"I have brown hair." Stefan corrected with a smirk.

"Hmm." she gulped down the rest of her drink. "Guess I'm the only blonde then."

"You too are so cute, it's sickening." Katherine commented as she walked up to the two. She had three cups balancing in her hands. Lexi and Stefan both grabbed one.

"Toast?" Lexi asked. The two shrugged. "Hmm...Too...successfully kidnapping Katherine."

Katherine and Stefan laughed but took a gulp of their drink.

"Cranberry juice and vodka?" Stefan asked, looking at Katherine with an eyebrow raised.

"Good Combo!" Lexi praised. Something over Katherine's shoulder caught her attention. "Your boyfriend's here." She swooned.

Katherine looked over her shoulder. "Damon is not m-" She cut herself off as her eyes came in contact with Elijah's. She turned back towards Lexi.

"How'd you know he was here?"

Smirking, Lexi turned Katherine back around, pushing her towards Elijah. "Don't worry about that, just go dance with your man."

Katherine didn't object much. She hadn't seen Elijah since school started back up and she was kind've glad to see him. Lexi and Stefan watched as Kat advanced towards Elijah.

Lexi looked at Stefan.

Stefan looked back at Lexi.

"I've got my degree, what about you?"

"Same."

... "She's totally in love with Damon."

Stefan raised his cup and Lexi taps hers on his.

"Totally." He said before taking a sip from his cup.

The Dialogue in the beginning is between Lexi and Kat. I'll rewrite so you'll get it.

Kat : "Are you serious right now?"

Lexi : "As a heartbeat."(A blink.)

Kat : "...I don't want to."

Lexi : (Rolled eyes.) "I don't care."

Kat : "I'm not doing it."

Lexi : (A sigh before a heavy handed push and a slightly evil smile.) "Oh, but you are."

Oh yeah and the dialogue at the end, goes like this :

Lexi : "I've got my degree, what about you?"

Stefan : "Same."

Lexi : ... "She's totally in love with Damon."

Stefan : "Totally."

Anywhore...I decided to make this chapter a little different. More fun and jokes. Oh and I also wanted to show what kind've friendship Kat, Lexi and Stefan have.

R&R My Lovelies !
