Episode (Chapter)4: The First Rose Ceremony Night

It's now 7:30pm Katherine knew it is time to take her plan into action. For the others could come back at any second. As she heads to the main common room. She looks to see if George the bartender was there.

"Good! He must have gotten the rest of the night off." Katherine thoughts.

So she cut the wires on bar that leads to the security camera. Since most the camera crews was filming the dates. The two left behind were on break right now since there was no drama going on. She take a bottle of bourbon and headed to one of couches. She goes to a medium size black couch and sit there. Katherine then pours two glasses of bourbon. But put a special type of pill in one of them. Then on cue Damon walks in looking a little bit too much to drink, but still sober enough to notice Katherine who look so pose like sitting cross legged on the couch. Katherine was a little distracted by Damon with his black button down shirt all the way open.

"I Wish I wore my bikini instead of this black shirt and shorts I have on." Katherine thoughts of lust seeing Damon.

Damon now close his shirt with a scowl on his face address the elephant that is in the room. "Guessing it's not safe anymore to come in and get a drink." He snarled.

"Ouch!" Katherine trying to pretend to look hurt. "Look I just was about to offer you peace Damon. Can't we just start over and drink here tonight?"

"Not likely." Damon still scowling.

"C'mon pouty. Stefan would want us to get along. I mean who side is Stefan going to take in the future fights? Me or you?" Katherine say with a smirk.

Damon was starting to slowly realize in a way Katherine was kind of right. When it comes to girls sometimes the brother's relationship let it get in the way. But they try to compromise the best way they can so that they can still have a great relationships. Also, Damon knows that if he wants to have a relationship with Elena then he needs to not only be in good terms with her brother, but also with her sister.

"Plus, we are stuck on this beautiful island for what 1 or 2 months. We should make the best of it." Katherine say still encouraging him.

Damon finally sigh giving in. "Alright I suppose we could have a couple of drinks. But no funny business."

"Trust me like I will try anything with you." Katherine acting so innocent.

Damon goes to couch to sit with her. Although, as soon as he comes over he accidentally trips. Damon tries to wipe away some the liquid off of her, but seeing how turn on Katherine was he change his mind and he takes the glass on the right while she takes the other after being distracted by his hotness.

"To peace." Katherine holds up the glass as a toast.

"To finding love too." Damon say and clinking her glass together as they both drank deeply.

The night goes on of drinking as Katherine was watching him very closely to see if there will be any changes. So far beside getting drunk Damon seem to be his normal sarcastic self. He did seem to take a tolerance to alcohol very well. However, Katherine eyes seem to get so blurry that she was at the point that she was not able to think. So Katherine decide to give up and go to bed since she think it was probably from drinking too much.


Girls Quarters...

(Back on camera)

Katherine barely got into her bed when she passes out.

The camera crew that was on break came back to check up on Katherine and Damon. When they went to see Katherine they try to wake her.

"Katherine! Katherine!? KATHERINE!?" the female producer say.

Katherine was not responding in fact her breathing was not at all showing. They decide it was at the point getting serious that they decide to call 911. They contact Damon who now was talking to them in urgent. They look up just in time to see boats flashing lights near the dock confirming that it must be the emergency rescuers. They put Katherine on the stretcher and was on the speed boat hooking her up to their portable breathing machine. They immediately heading out along with Damon deciding he better go with her and that they need a full out report of what has happen tonight.


Meanwhile on the Cozumel, Mexico beach. (On Camera)

After a long day of surfing and spending time together on the beach. It was time to head back, but before the couples could get on the boat. The producers and camera crew was radio that Damon and Katherine our heading to a private hospital. They told the group about it and this send panic and worry to everyone.

"Are they OK?" Bonnie ask worried.

"Hmm ... Yes... Copy That!" the male producer say on the radio nodding then turn towards the group. "Good news Damon is ok. He did get a little wasted, but they are giving him coffee to sober him as we speak. It's just Katherine that has something wrong with her where she is not breathing right now at the moment."

"I will stay behind. She is my sister after all!" Jeremy say to the group.

"You want me to come with you?" Bonnie ask.

"Yes that will be very great of you!" Jeremy say.

So Bonnie and Jeremy wave good bye to Caroline and Klaus as they headed back to the island while Jeremy and Bonnie went to the black cars and headed to the Mercy Hospital where they will be.


The hospital room (off camera now)

We see the doctor talking to Katherine on the bed with the air tubs in her nares. She is now awake responding to his questions while Damon stand beside her all sober up. Camera crew did try to film some of this, but the doctor begin to scold at them to please give this women privacy. So they finally stop. Damon decided to excuse himself to go to the restroom and to get questions one last time from the producers. It was a perfect timing too, because Damon runs into Stefan and Elena. Elena looking so upset and worried for her sister. Stefan was way worse as he approach to the nurse desk.

"I demand you let me see my girlfriend at once please?" Stefan say now determined.

"I'm sorry sir, but at the moment the producers told me to only allow Damon in for questions and her family only." The nurse say firmly with an apology look on her face.

"Stefan! When did you get here?" Damon say.

Stefan turn seeing his brother. "Damon thank god! This is ridiculous. They won't let me in to see her but Elena."

"Well I mean I won't blame Katherine for not wanting to see you. Since actually you was busy with a certain someone today." Damon say to him.

"Watch it Damon! If you know what good for you." Stefan growled.

Elena spoke up to not get the guys to fight in a public place. "Don't worry Stefan. I try to talk to the doctor to see what going on first and then try to arrange it so that you can see Katherine." Elena with sincere.

Elena, Damon, and Jeremy go with the one of the producers and doctors that led to the private room Katherine was. She now had the tubes remove from her nose. However, still had the IV in her arm to keep her hydrated and monitor her heart. Although, the air conditioner felt so good to them as there was none on the island, but the heat. The doctors and the producers leave to give them privacy for a bit so that they can finish the paperwork as it seem Katherine was going to be staying over the night for observation before they can release her.

"Katherine! Thank goodness you're ok!" Elena now relieve.

"So what exactly happen?" Jeremy ask now concern and protected.

Katherine take Jeremy hand who was the closest at her bedside. "It was horrible Jeremy. Me and Damon we was having drinks and it was all a blurry. I felt like my heart was racing. So when I decided to go to bed I just felt myself blacking out."

"Probably cause you drink so much that you look like you was going to kill yourself from it." Damon interrupts not fool from this sad act.

Katherine realizes that she must had pick up the wrong glasses. So now she needs to think fast of a story. She then turns to Damon now having this realization look. "Oh My God! YOU! It's your fault that you... you drug me!"

"WHAT!? This Bull Shit! If memory serves correctly you're the one that offer to peace drink with me. I bet you were planning this all along to drug or accused me of something."

"Why would I do something that could get me kick off of the show?" Katherine say glaring back. "Admit it! You were jealous of me and Stefan. So you drug me so you can get me into bed with you."

"Who are you going to believe?" Damon turn to Elena and Jeremy. "Little old me or the dramatic drama hoe over there?"

"Hey Dick! Don't you dare talk to my sister that way." Jeremy now snarled back. "I'm starting to believe now that you actually did it."

"WHAT the Fuck? I have not done nothing to her. In truth be told I use to have feelings for her, but now all I see is this manipulative bitch that trying to get me in trouble. In fact I want to date Elena then this tramp here." Damon angrier then soften as he realize what he say out loud. He turn to Elena who was quiet and confuse now more than ever.

"C'mon Elena! You have to believe me! I did not do anything of the sort. In fact I mean every word. I don't have feelings for Katherine anymore. Just you." Damon say with determination.

"Well you can forget it playboy Dick! You're not getting anywhere near my sister." Jeremy say in angry.

"What do you mean Jeremy?" Elena speak up looking very shocked and upset by all this.

"I'm saying from here on out throughout this show as your brother I forbidden you to ever date Damon Salvatore." Jeremy in his confirm angry tone.

"But you can't do this to me Jeremy or say who I can't date." Elena was so upset and angry by Jeremy overprotective.

"Oh Yes I can. The producers may not stop you, but I can. I will get Caroline to even watch out for you so that you can't hang with him. If she see you on the beach Caroline will watch. If she see you alone in the huts area Caroline will watch. If she see you sneaking out or sending even message in bottle or any type of form Caroline will watch. No matter what I will protect you rather you like it or not." Jeremy finishes.

Elena who understands it for the best to stay away from Damon if Katherine story is true, but she was so blinded with angry and saddens that she decide to the leave the room while holding back her tears. Damon go to Jeremy now inch apart from each other ready to fight.

"You can't do this I will see Elena no matter what with or without your approve hulk." Damon argued.

"Yes you will or I will testify on Katherine behalf to the producers about how you drug Katherine then you will get kick off the show." Jeremy say with protection.

They stare at each other for a while.

Katherine felt like she was watching a rumble on TV. But on the inside she was celebrating, because now Elena will never get her Damon.

"You won't get away with this. If you love your sister like you do. Then you will let her go and be free to date whoever she please." Damon then exit the hospital room defeated.


Back in the hospital waiting room...

We see Jeremy talking to Bonnie with Elena standing next to Bonnie still upset.

"Jeremy are you really sure about Damon being bad news." Bonnie ask now concerned.

"Trust me I know it when I see it. It's best if I watch over her seeing to it she gets the best suitor ever!" Jeremy say now confident with his overprotection.

"I know something and I will say this. Jeremy Gilbert you are making a terrible mistake." Bonnie upset with him as well feeling very sorry for Elena.

"Trust me Bonnie I know what I am doing." Jeremy say to her.

Stefan appears. "Thanks for talking to the doctors for me Elena and Jeremy. I'm so sorry for what my brother has done. I still can't believe he would do something like that. But at this point it's hard to trust anyone."

"You would take Katherine side over your own brother?" Bonnie ask in shock from Stefan action.

"I don't know. But I will not say anything about this to the producers. They decided to rule it out predicting it was probably from dehydration or too much drinking. Since for some reason the cords to the camera in the main hut were cut. So no evidence as to what really happen. In the meantime I think I'm starting to have these deep feelings for Kat and I need to choose a love for myself this time and not my brother." Stefan who stated to them.

"It's time to head back guys and start up the show again soon as possible. Before we leave I need to do private interviews. Then as soon as it's done we will leave the Hospital with the cameras starting to roll again. After all the show must go on right." The head producer say.

The singles all did their interviews explain about the Katherine hospitalize situation and how they feel about. Jeremy of course kept his bargain by not telling what Katherine say to them. Then leaves the Hospital to go back to the island as the show goes back on track again.


Back on the island (camera on)…..

They are in the main common room to chat for a bit with Caroline and Klaus explaining what happen. Stefan is the only one not there as he decide to stay with Katherine overnight for company as he was worried sick about her. At 2am they all finally decided they needed to go bed. As Damon and Elena were about to pass each other they stop and stare looking up at one another. Caroline look like she was about to intervene from Jeremy instruction he told her. But when one was about to say something to another Elena decide to hear Jeremy advice by pass Damon looking regretful and sorry more than ever. Damon was just so upset and could never forgive Katherine now for what look like spoiling his chances of ever being with Elena. Bonnie could not help but feel sorry for her friends as she watches them being so sad and lonely. She wonder too if this drama will ever be resolved. Or if this show was just only for drama and not finding love at all?

"I hate this!" Bonnie say going to Caroline. "I hate seeing everyone so miserable and not happy with one another."

"But you heard what Jeremy say Bonnie. I made not have known Elena for just a day, but I feel like I need to be there for her like she is my friend too. Plus, I too think Damon is just a playboy dick that trying to get into every girls pants. You saw how he all sudden does not want to be with Katherine anymore, because she won't sleep with him." Caroline states thinking she knows it.

"You think that only, because that what Katherine said. I still think that he is only hiding his bad boy attitude and drinking a lot, because he must had suffer a lot pain in his past so his scary and puts that wall up. I think he needs love more than ever now." Bonnie looks back at a depressing Damon at the bar now getting up and going to bed as it seems.

"He made have you and Elena fool, but he is not fooling me, Jeremy, and definitely not Stefan. So believe whatever you want, but I will protect Elena like Jeremy gave the job to tell me to do." Caroline now feeling proud of herself doing this too. "I just hope this does not hurt your relationship with Jeremy."

"It's too early to tell if we are a couple." Bonnie was showing a shy like smile.

"C'mon On" Caroline nudges her. "I saw the chemistry when you guys were leaving together going to the hospital. A person like that who will go with him cares a lot."

"Well see! I'm trying not to get my hopes up." Bonnie say with a smiley face.

The girls then go to bed as they were the last one to leave the common room.


Day 8~

Everyone was at the hut for their daily drinks and morning breakfast. Bonnie and Jeremy go to one of the big pillows on the beach which was the purple one and started to talk among each other on getting to know more about lives and favorite things. They even look like they was holding hands while talking.

Caroline of course stay in the small hut at the bar to keep Elena company and out of trouble from Damon coming anywhere near her. Klaus stay with them and try to keep his relationship going with Caroline even though he was annoyed by the third wheel being there. Damon decide to go to the pool and hot tube near the main common room where he can chill and be away from everyone since half of them were now against him. Although, he did feel lonely and bored out of everyone here on the island. He hated seeing his brother happily talking to newly out of the hospital Katherine in the main common room where in fact they never been so engage to each for the past week that happen here on the island. While here he is having his legs in the hot tub watching them from below.

There were two pools and hot tubes. One near the main common room and the main hut while the another one is out doors near the small bar hunt. This was as far to everyone as he could get without going to the guys quarters.

"How can life be so boring and miserable for what I am feeling right now." Damon thought as he see Stefan kissing Katherine now.

Suddenly new footsteps comes down the stone steps and from the flowery arch way. It looks as though it belong to a women. Everyone looks up and see the new arrival. She looks different out of everyone that arrive here on the island for she has red hair and blues eyes. Plus, she was wearing a tight purple halt and tight skirt.

"Oh No! Not another slut women." Caroline thinks.

"Hello everyone! My name is Sage." As she approach the bar in a sexy way. Even her voice is seductive.

"UGH! I know her." Klaus say. She is just some stripper/escort who hooked up with my brother Finn for meaning less sex."

"And a hello again to you to Klaus." Sage ignoring his attitude. "But I'm obviously not here for you. I am here to get sex up and find my own love."

"I hate to burst your bubble sexy, but you're out of luck. Everyone seem to be pair up now and you come too little too late in this game." Klaus with a cocky smirk as he was semi correct indeed.

"Not everyone though." Elena say with politeness.

"Really!?" Sage say with interest looking at her.

"Actually she is half wrong." Caroline say with an attitude.

"Alright then miss thing." Sage say with an attitude back at her. You tell me who is taken?"

Caroline talks about how Damon use to be with Katherine, but Katherine is now with Stefan. However, Elena took Stefan out, but he is not interesting in Elena and more into Katherine. She is with Klaus, Bonnie is now hooking up with Jeremy, and how Elena and Damon are still single and waiting.

"So where does that leave sexy me HUH?" Sage say with a pout.

"Damon is free." Caroline now more than ever to finally get Damon a partner that looks like the perfect fit and more his style. Elena was not sitting well with this at all. She was now confuse more than ever again, but this gives her an opportunity to see what kind of person he is if Damon accept the date with Sage.

"Well see about that." Sage hops off the stool.

So Sage still decided to go see the other people. She goes to Jeremy and Bonnie who were engage to one other.

"I still can't believe you love to hunt in your spare time and you love the Ring Two movie. Most of the guys I know is freak out by that movie. You must not be afraid of anything in life. I bet the women where you are from love a strong and brave guy like you." Bonnie now starting to fall for him.

"Not all the girls. But you should give yourself some credit. The guys should love a courage women like you. "Jeremy now falling for Bonnie hard too. They look closely at each other faces when talking till when Sage approaching them is when they look up.

"Hello sexy hulk man. I'm the new arrival name Sage. Would you like to play with me this I got a date card?" Sage say.

Jeremy looks up watching and he can't help but feel the attraction of this women and how he looks at her cleavage. Bonnie was not happy.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but Jeremy and I are dating right Jere?" Bonnie turns to him.

"Bonnie I….. Um… Can I have a moment to think about this?" Jeremy gets up and go to one of the small and made for one person red tropical pillow away from the two women to think.

"I hope that Jeremy is not going to be that guy that say he care for me and then goes to anther women. But I think he is scary right now of starting a serious new relationship." Bonnie finishing thoughts.

"Well while he is thinking on it. I spy with my little eyes some more gorgeous man." Sage in her lustful hunger mode As Damon, Stefan, and Katherine coming out to join everyone.

So far Stefan was not impressed like Katherine is too of this new women coming this way towards them. Damon look so uneasy and not appeal by her at all. But could not help watching as she sexy walk towards them.

"You must be the Salvatore Brothers and Katherine. I'm Sage as in my name inspired on the stage I dance on. As you can see I have a date card." Holding it up in the air. "How about you lucky boys like to take a party afternoon date with me?" Sage say dipping her sexy low voice with a sexy smile.

"Thanks! But I am good with Katherine." Stefan say with a smile holding her hand.

Katherine smirk at Sage knowing she is not going to take her Steffie. She just hate to see it though that she might take her Damon. She still want to win him back and have that sex plan with him.

"Alright fine by me! You were not my type of guy anyways goody two shoes." Sage looks at Damon "But how about you sexy?"

"What do you think I am Hugh Hefner?" Damon say with I don't care attitude. "I'm kind of waiting on someone."

"C'mon on don't be such a stiff." Sage say with a pouty face and her hands on her hips as she sway it to the right side. "Beside the producers say there are no rules and waiting for someone can be included too."

"But they say you can turn the person down if you want and believe me I am." Damon shot back with a glare.

"Fine asshole! Be that way. You have 30 seconds to change your mind as Jere-Bear might change his mind over there. I thought a guy like you would not sissy out on this." Sage ran her hands down her body from between her boobs, then down her stomach, and up her legs back to her hips.

Damon was not at all impress, but a little turn on by this deal as he could use some action of getting laid. But then again his heart still wanted Elena.

"Mmm…" Sage then turns away sway her hips so much with a sexy walk as Damon watches her behind.

Jeremy too looks like he was getting up and going to go to Sage. Damon go to her.

"Alright!" Damon now in defeat "You win let's go. I need to get a break from these lots."

"Super! Now that's more like it." Sage purred.

Damon button up his black shirt to look more presentable instead of his dripping drunk look to go with Sage as they walk together to go on the speed boat and get ready to leave off the island. The group watches them with none of them at all impressed. Caroline and Jeremy had an I told you so look. Klaus was like really mate. Stefan and Elena was disappointed.

Elena watches sadly as Damon takes off with Sage on the speed boat. "Maybe Jeremy right! I need to stay clear of Damon no matter what."


Cozumel, Mexico Beach….

There is a club party on the beach where a wet t-shirt contest take place. We see Damon dancing with Sage juking and her rubbing all up on Damon while he is drinking.

"Yeah! Show them hands. Who is liking this party? Which sexy girl is your winner?" from the announcer DJ and raising his hand.

We see six girls on stage line up with water guns squirting at them and where the t-shirts is see through. The girls on stage though was still dancing. After a while one girl was lifted in the air carry around the crowd looking like she was the winner. She was smiling, waving, and laughing ever so drunk in her party mood.

They both cheer for the winner. Damon was drinking a lot while dancing and Sage turn to look at him with a smirk.

"You know your drunk right?" Sage say so low. Cue the subtitles

"I know!" Damon say with big eyes and his bad boy attitude towards Sage acting as though he don't give a fuck about what she thinks.


Meanwhile back on the island….

Elena, Jeremy, and Stefan are sitting on the blue couch near the outside pool chilling. Bonnie is in the pool swimming away still not happy with Jeremy right now after stunt he almost pulled. On the beach Caroline was with Klaus on a bubble gum pink small one person pillow and of course making out with him again. She was finally relive that Damon was gone so she could have a little sexy Klaus time break. She excuse herself to go get champagne from the main common room. Then comes back out right away.

"Guys come quickly!" Caroline say.

They all go to the main hut where into the main common room a card sat on the small table.

"What is it? Another Date card?" Elena ask

NOTE:

Caroline finish reading out loud.

"This is it! Our first elimination and rose ceremony tonight." Elena say.

Everyone look as nervous about the news as they could not help, but stare at one another as though a new elephant was in the room.


Cozumel, Mexico Beach Boardwalk …..

Damon and Sage had enough dancing and go to the boardwalk where the other part of the club is and go inside for more drinking at the bar.

"I got say it Damon. You are not such a stiff and boring man after all." She gets closer to him on the bar stool. She slowly raise her one hand up her hips.

"Although, you do need to loosen up more without being so drunk." As Sage smirk now unbuttoning his black shirt slowly. She was rubbing her legs together. "For Example, you should keep this open I like to see that god like muscular chest of yours." Putting her hands in his shirt. Damon put an end to this by grabbing her hands like a snapping turtle with his hands and pull them out.

"Please I had better party than this." Damon say with attitude. "What makes you want to find love anyways?"

"I don't want just love. I'm not going to lie. I want action in guy too. I hope a guy sexy like you will treat her girl like queen and that we hit it up on night on the town on our date nights while being into each other if you catch my drift." Sage wink. "That still does not mean you can't have these sexy legs wrap around you as it is my favorite body type in a women." Sage running her hands up and down her legs.

Damon was taken aback by how she was acting. Looking very turn off and uncomfortable by her.

"I beat you open your legs up to every men just for your fun and nothing." Damon say with attitude.

"You know for a guy like yourself you seem very unattractive to me now with that nasty attitude of yours." Sage now with seer look very turn off from Damon.

"Yea well. Sorry to disappoint you Redhead, but I think it time for me to go that different route." Damon now pat her gently on the shoulder and now hop all off the bar stool.

"Do you know who the Fuck I am?" Sage now angry "Glad I did not hook up with the show asshole like you." She shouted at him.

Some people stop dancing and some on the stools was staring now at the scene.

"At least I have slept with better women then you." Damon say back with a shout and then turns again to go out the door.

We hear OOOOO! and OHHHH! then some went "BURN!", and even one guy goes "YEAH MAN!"

Sage sit there with an angry and yet stunned look as she sit there on the bar stool.


Night time on the island for the First Rose Ceremony Night….

The camera pans up and we see the girls walking barefooted on the sand while some carry their flip flops and others with heels in their hands. Also, some of them in the cocktail and some in flow dress. The other camera pans up we see the guys walking towards them looking nervous, dashing, but some looking determine more than ever.

"Tonight is first elimination and finally we going to see a bitch leave tonight. But I am feeling great knowing I am definitely safe." Katherine thinks in confidence.

"Tonight my last chance to stay in paradise and I think I could be going home. But then again I don't know." Elena sad and confuse in thoughts as she walks in the straight line with the girls

"I am not going to let the incredible hulk stop my chances of being with Elena. I still don't know if I will ever get his approve or not, but I need to find a way to talk to Elena, because she still might turn down my rose." Damon in his deep thoughts walking with the guys in the line too.

"I feel really good about my love blooming for Caroline and I know not none of these are going to give her a rose. Not even brooding hero hair over there." Klaus say in a smirk deep thoughts as he stare across from Caroline approach them.

Everyone then head into the main common room. There was champagne already with glass in them at the main bar where George is. The common room got switch around where there now sat a couple of tall round tables for the cocktail party. In no time to waste everyone got started in the cocktail party.

After about an hour in we see Stefan wearing a white button dress shirt and brown pants with dress shoes and Katherine wearing a black skirt out cocktail dress that still push her boobs up to show the big cleavage with black heels siting on the black couch. Katherine is flirting with Stefan and then kisses him.

Peering far out of the balcony behind them we see Klaus in a red dashing button down shirt with one button open with black dress pants and dress shoes on and Caroline wearing yellow long flowing dress seating on swing like chair. They were close to each other so much that it look like any closer they could touch each other or even touch each other lips. The seat was on the other side of the pool.

"So are you nervous about tonight ceremony love?" Klaus asked in curious.

Caroline smile "You call me love."

"I believe I did as I will call you that, because I am falling in love with you so far." Klaus say we confirm and twinkle in his eyes.

Caroline was so in awe that he told her that he was falling in love with her. "It just… I never thought I will meet a guy that care and fall for me so fast. I don't want to be fool and fall in love too fast." She stares back at him.

"Trust me! I will never trade our love for anything and I will show that." They both smile and Caroline close the small gap and took the two red handsome lips between hers. They stay there kissing so in love with one another.

We now see Jeremy wearing purple shirt with grey shorts and Bonnie wearing a purple short flowing dress in the pool seated together at the pool with their legs and feet only in the water. They both were kicking the water slowly beneath them.

"SO…. "Jeremy starts

"Yea…" Bonnie say with a smile looking at him, but looks back down shyly.

"To start off Bonnie just know that I care for you so much and I will not be falling for a girl this fast. You are the first. I don't want you blow this whole I am into Sage out the way." Jeremy states while looking back up as if on cue Bonnie looks up and they stare at each other faces. Jeremy then takes Bonnie hands.

"I don't know Jeremy. I want to believe this, but you hesitated why you did?" Bonnie ask in curious.

"Maybe I'm just scary that you might not like me or that I don't know if I am ready for a commit relationship. But now I think I am start to realize I am when even I look at you." Jeremy now staring into Bonnie eyes with a smile. Bonnie now smile back as they stay like that for a while.

Elena was sitting in a chair watching her brother and could not help, but feel happy for him. She goes back inside the main common room for more champagne.

Sage wearing a tight purple cocktail dress with black heels on now watches and see most of these couples pairing up she now knows it going to be between her and Elena. She could try going after Jere-Bear as a prowl technique and then maybe try to convince Damon one last time to give her a second chance. Sage may be wanting to get laid, but is looking for love too and deserve to stay here in paradise just like everyone here.

Sage now sexy walking to Jeremy obviously knowing she not going to leave here going down without a fight.

"I feel like this is faith that is bring us here together. " Bonnie say with confidence now.

Sage is closer to them now still sexy walking.

"I think that the connection I felt is still there too and how can see that honest coming from you." Bonnie say with a smile but looks up and immediately frowns as they both now see Sage coming from out of the shadows.

Sage now smirk sexy at Jeremy "Hey! I was wonder if it's ok if I talk to Jere-bear and give him a break from being on the prowl tonight." Joking at Bonnie seeing how close she is with him right now.

Bonnie sigh while trying to smile with an ok look. "If you must I guess it ok." She say.

Jeremy excuse himself from Bonnie and they headed to the main common room on the way other side in the room and sit on a purple coach out of reach from ear shot.

"Look I know you are thinking about choosing Bonnie, but…" Sage states. "I could be a better trade up from her."

"Oh really!? Like how?" Jeremy ask trying to sound interested seeing as he still have this option of women.

"If you were to pick me I will be there for you I would not be judgy like she is. Do you obviously think she might still have feelings for you when a new guy might come in swooping in and steal her heart? I however, will never do that to you. You saw how upset she was over when you try to answer about the date offer I gave to you. All I'm saying is give me a chance." Sage finished.

"Thanks for letting me know of this. I will keep it in mind." Jeremy say. They hug each other and then he leaves to go back to Bonnie.

Meanwhile we see Stefan leaves to go check up on Elena as he helps her with the champagne bottles to give to the two couples hanging at the pool. Katherine sneak over to the bar where Damon sit talking to George. Even though he does not speak a lot of English it was good to talk to someone.

"Bad Day?" Katherine ask as she had her back against the bar with the elbows on top looking pose as ever while her face stare at him with a smirk.

"More like bad timing to be coming here." Damon say with his bad boy attitude on again.

"C'mon on why so pouty? You can't stay mad at me forever Damon." Katherine say with a smirk as he got up from the stood, but she follows him with determination.

"Watch me!" As Damon turn around angry at this women who has made his time miserable here on the island. "What is it exactly you want me Katherine?"

"I want you Damon." As Katherine say looking into his eyes with love. She put a hand on his chest. He looks back with angry, but confuse a little as she now was starting to look convincing. "If you see that I still do have that feelings for you. Then you will give me the rose and I will pour my heart out to you."

"What about Stefan? Is he just a pawn to you just by getting to me?" Damon ask looking at his brother from a far talking to Elena at one of the chairs near the pool, but then starts to head back thinking Katherine might be lonely waiting for him.

"Stefan is an ok guy. But I need someone daring like you. He will understand this when I talk to him afterwards. I will be nice this time and let him go. Hey maybe he might go for my sister again. Just think about ok. After all you're the only one not couple with everyone in paradise you hold the power tonight in a way."

Katherine then approaches him in a whisper "Beside we do have history after all Damon." She smirk and turns to walk away just in time as Stefan comes up the stairs and see her and they embrace and headed to one of the cocktail tables to talk a bit.

"Hopefully at tonight rose ceremony Damon might get called first and I am hoping he will pick me. This will prove I won him back. That will leave Sage and the tramp that is my sister to go home. I'm hoping it might be my sister though. Although, it is obvious that Damon has the most control on who stay and who goes tonight as he not pair with anyone right now." Kathrine thinks in gleefully.

Damon knows he has the most power decisions on a lot of the ladies fates and he can't help, but to feel cocky about the situation right now.

"Damon the man is in charge tonight ladies! It's time to impress. " He say in a bad boy yet smirk like thoughts

Oh yea he was enjoying this way too much folks.

"That's right! Damon the man is in charge." Now pose like sitting at the bar with his back against it. "Things just can't get any better than this." Damon say in thoughts still now showing his smirk on the outside.

We see Sage approach him now. "I was right! And here comes manipulative bitch #2!" Damon say in his thoughts as if on right on cue.

"Hey I was hoping we can chat for a bit." Sage say.

"Aright!" Damon knowing it was suck up time as he leans back on the stool putting his hands behind his head. "Go ahead. I am all ears seeing as these women can't resist my charms or good looks no matter what." Damon smirking so cocky at towards Sage.

"Look! We got off on a wrong foot, because we were drinking a lot. But Damon I am begging you to give me a chance. We did have fun after all. Plus I don't want it to stop…" Sage trails off leaning in to Damon face with a sexy look of trying to look in love and interested.

"Maybe I might think about this and then again maybe it might be a huge risk saving you. But I will keep the offer in mind. Run along now." Damon swatted his hand to motion her away.

Sage was so turn off by his attitude towards her again, but knows Damon is her only chance of staying here.

We see that she leaves and heads down to the pool where the others are with her drink in her hand. Stefan and Katherine goes with her.

Elena now enters with a lonely look. Damon stares at her and wipes his cocky bad boy look from his face. This might be his only chance to talk to Elena so he gets up and goes to her.

"Hey!" Damon spoke to Elena as he approaches her.

"Hey yourself!" Elena say shyly.

They had long pause between them as one kept looking down and back up from each other a couple of times.

Damon decide to break the silence. "You know Elena you're so lucky to have an overprotective brother like Jeremy. He really does like you. I know you may see me as this ladies man. But I will prove it too you know matter what." Damon say with confidence.

Elena was about to speak up, but Damon put a finger gently on her lips.

"No! No! Don't say anything. I will prove it to you, because I know I can be that men that wants a love to consume me just like you look for that in a quality of husband. I hope that when I give you the rose tonight you will see that I am not lying." Damon now looking back in those chocolate brown eyes of her with fire and determination.

Elena was so mesmerized by this that she remembers that Jeremy and Caroline will look for her any second.

"I will keep it in mind. Thanks for talking to me. Just so you know maybe deep down you are trying to be a better man. I just wish my brother see this." Elena say and goes back to the others.

Damon watches her and in walk Sage again passing Elena. Obviously Sage was back trying to convince Damon she is the one.

"Come here." She jesters to the black couch. "I know what you're thinking and Elena not the one for you."

Damon now had his eyebrows shot up in a really disbelief face.

"Look Elena still may turn the rose down from you, because her jerk of brother is going to be always overprotective of her and it obvious he not going anywhere anytime soon thanks to Bonnie. Where will that leave you? Going home in the next elimination if you continue to wait for her like a pine puppy dog. But instead of being a one women man you can go for sexy, cute, and honest me. Just keep that in you gorgeous head of yours ok?" Sage lightly touch his chin and walk away.

"I just hope Damon not going to be a fool and pick Elena. But I think my convincing is finally working and I might get one more night. If not I'm just going…." Sage pause in thoughts.

"FUCK EVERYONE! NO NO! I should not be that hostel, but I guess time will tell tonight." Sage say in thoughts as she drinks alone watching Damon sitting at one of the couches with a bottle of bourbon and glass with it too.

Damon hold the glass to his faces deep in thoughts about elimination at this point he does not know what to do. Be the better man that everyone he thinks and what everyone wants him to be? Which also gets him a clear shot at winning Elena if she does have true feelings for him. Or be the bad guy and save his own ass?

Everyone joins Damon now in the main common room sitting on the different couches, but still close to each other chatting with their partners and some of the other people.

The host Chris Jackson walks in now wearing a suit as he clink his glass with a fork in order to get everyone attention.

::Clink Clink Clink::

"Good Evening Everyone! How is everyone doing tonight?" Chris say welcoming.

"Everything peachy Chris." Katherine say.

"Good to see you well and back with us Miss. Katherine." Chris say acknowledge Katherine. He looks to the entire group again.

"As you can see after all the drama, dates, and getting to know one another it about time to start the first rose ceremony. So here how it will work. Tonight is guy's power. Each guy I will call your name you will come forward pick the girl you feel most connect with and want to build a relationship with here in paradise. Remember ladies it up to you if you want to accept the rose. You have every right to turn him down if you like. However, keep in mind that you still be at risk at going home. Guys the same rule applies for you too. Whoever is the last person staying without a rose will immediately be leaving paradise for good on a plane ride home. So with that being say let all head to the main lobby and begin the rose ceremony." Chris finished

The singles now head to the main lobby with Chris.


Main Lobby/Ceremony…

Stone like floor never felt hard beneath everyone as the heels and shoes can be heard. The two steps were facing each other. One for the guys and one for the girls. There was small green table where there stood 4 rose on top as Chris goes next to it.

Things just got real now. This was the real deal.

As everyone settles in there is last minute thoughts from everyone.

"I am just so confuse yet worry that I have this 80% chance of going home and yet Damon holds my faith. I hope Jeremy will let me accept the rose from Damon. Then again I don't know if I can do it." Elena states as she stare at the roses and back at Damon now settle in. Her heart was beating a 100 miles an hour as though she might have a heart attack from nervousness.

"I am Katherine Gilbert Piece I am fabulous! I look fabulous! Not to mention the caption of this shipping on the island and head bitch in charge of everyone. I just hope Chris call Damon first so that I can see if I have a clear shot at winner Damon back if he calls my name and not my traitor's bitch of a sister." Katherine looks at Elena. "Then again I hate to see and break Stefan poor heart. I guess I just have to wait and see." Katherine looking at Damon and back at Stefan.

"I know Jeremy wants me, but there is still a chance he might pick Sage over me. I just hope Jeremy is that special someone for me." Bonnie concerned in thoughts.

"As a final note good luck to all the ladies and singles here on paradise for making it this far. By tonight we will see so far who the couples that got to know one another and who is now turning into that couple. Remember just think this is the first step of getting to that journey of might walking out of here engaged to your forever partner." The host Chris say to everyone opening his hands out as a gesture.

Chris now turns to the guy's side. "Once again good luck and first one up…. Klaus Mikaelson." He nods.

Klaus nods too stepping up to the table picking up the rose and looking up at the girls immediately spotting Caroline without hesitation.

"Caroline…" He say with charisma.

Caroline step forward with a smile. Stefan smile happy for her. Katherine was trying so to hard not roll her eyes as a no surprise there.

"Caroline will you accept this rose?" Klaus ask with confident knowing she will anyways.

"Yes! Yes! Of course." And gives him a quick peck on the lips.

Damon was so bad boy attitude as he watches them and then Caroline goes back on the girl's side with her rose in her hands knowing she is the first girl ever to be safe.

"Damon may have the power, but finger cross Chris will call Damon before Stefan." Kathrine say in her hopeful thoughts.

"Stefan!" Chris called Stefan next. He approaches the table. Katherine was disappointed by this on the inside. Stefan pick up the rose and then looks at Katherine. "Katherine!" Stefan say.

Katherine still smirk trying to look happy about it anyways seeing as she still safe.

"Katherine will you accept this rose?" Stefan ask politeness.

"It will be a pleasure." Katherine say with a sexy smirk and she flat out lay one on Stefan.

During their long kiss it was Damon turn to try not to roll his eyes at them. Caroline was a little gross out from it. While Elena was a little happy for her sister.

"Jeremy!" Chris call for him. Jeremy then comes and pick the rose up.

"It's no telling where Jeremy head is, but I will now know if he wants a commit relationship." Bonnie in her thoughts as she looks at the roses and back to Jeremy. Who was looking from Sage then to now Bonnie.

He sigh letting out a breath as he was thinking and finally he say, "Bonnie…"

Bonnie walks up with smile of relief. Sage was in the background upset face as her plan to seduce and convince Jeremy backfire. Sage is now worry knowing it is Damon control her faith at either staying or going home.

"I hope you now see I am falling for you and that this rose confirm it. So will you accept this rose?" Jeremy ask.

"Yes I do!" Bonnie with a sincere look, but also in love now as it start to slowly show.

We now see that there is only one rose left on the table.

Chris speak out to everyone. "Ladies and Gentleman this is the final rose tonight. Without a further to do it's obvious that you're the last one Damon." The host Chris turning to look at Damon.

"Whenever you're ready!" the host Chris gesture to the one rose left on the table.

Damon step up and grabs the rose and looks at the two ladies left that was between Elena and Sage.

"Well Chris as you don't know. There has been a rumor about me not being real in the group and that I am just here to get laid. With all this that has happen within a week it is making me look judgmental to a women that I am start to have feelings for. So with that said…" Damon trails off looking from Sage and Elena who both look like a nervous wreck.

Elena had her face hidden in nervousness and fear. Sage sat with her right hip to the side worry and waiting impatient like attitude as a he better pick me attitude.

After 5 minutes he finally say, "Elena!" with a smirk bad boy look on his face feel confident at his decision.

Elena was so relieved and happy as she approaches him with shaking legs now smiling. Sage was so upset in the background and looking so attitude like before. However, it looks like she was about to cry even.

"Elena look I know people may told you not to trust me and your brother is influence your decision of not letting me see you, but I hope that this rose and everyone see I will try and be that better man for you and everyone here. So Elena will you accept my rose?" Damon ask her with a look of desire that were fire in his eyes of wanting her.

Elena looks at Jeremy who look a little defeat for now. But nods in approve as a just this once, because he wants his sister to stay here longer to find love.

Elena take a deep breath and go for the plunge. "Ok I will accept your token of friendship rose for now. I hope this makes you happy too." Elena smile back.

"You don't know what this means kitten. You are already making me happy by saying yes." Damon said.

Elena then hugs Damon as a thank you gesture.

"You got be kidding me?" Sage say a little a loud and whisper as the girls heard her. But not Elena, Damon, and the guys.

"He pick that weak mouse over me!? :: UGH:: Here I am standing up here looking like a fool. Although, it's not going to last between the two of them you will see." Sage was upset as she say it in loud whisper watching Damon and Elena.

Elena goes back standing next to Katherine that stood between her and Sage. Sage was upset and furious with by all what happening to around her.

Chris now turns to the women group. "As obvious Sage I'm sorry! Take a moment say your goodbyes."

Sage prepare to say her goodbyes to Katherine first they did a surprise embrace hug.

"You were the only bitch in this house I respect so far and it's the truth." Katherine say in low whisper as the subtitles appear, because it so low of a whisper.

As Katherine was right she did feel sorry for Sage thinking they could have been the best of friends even though she try to date Damon. She wish that it was her sister going home instead of Sage. She nods and shake hands with Elena as she put an I am sorry look and her hand on one of her arms. Sage gives small hug to Bonnie and Caroline comes up to her.

"I am so sorry it did not work out here for you." Caroline spoke to her.

"Shut up Bitch! Your just saying that so people will see how nice of a person you are when you're really judgmental and just happy your stick around, because the guys are falling for you here." Sage in a low angry voice still in subtitle.

Sage looking so attitude as she back away from Caroline touch. She wanted to slap the mess out of her and call out on her ways.

Sage then nods and wave goodbye at the guys on the high rise on her way out. Some wave back feeling sorry for her. Yet Klaus and Damon nodding at her feeling like she was just a random girl, but still giving her respect. Both Damon and Klaus was just happy this sexy chick was finally leaving.

Sage is now heading towards the small van waiting to take her to the airport. Also, with the camera inside waiting for the exit and final interview on the way there when a contestant leaves.

Sage get in and close the door. She try to buck her seatbelt by sliding it across a couple of times, but it won't go as it seems. After fumble it in frustration with emotion she finally scream and decide to not deal with it anymore. She would rather take the risk if they end up in a car crash. Sage just told the driver to go ahead and the van take off.

"Can't believe it!? I feel like such a fool!" speaking directly at the camera. Sage was now in tears crying out loud while hyperventilating. "I thought I had a chance to find love here but I was wrong."

Sage was now crying looking as though she could not speak anymore paying no attention to the camera.

It goes back to the group…..

"Can I just say to everyone aren't you glad this first elimination night is now officially over?" Katherine say to everyone happy ready to celebrate and party it up.

The group cheer in agreement now celebrating too. Katherine opens the champagne bottle getting ready to pour the drinks for everyone. Everyone is still cheering now relieved that they are safe and staying on island still.

It goes back to Sage still crying in the Van…..

"I really did wanted to find someone to love me and it isn't fair." Sage say still crying "I don't want to go home. I don't want to go home."

Back now to the group…..

"Just so we are clear. You are still to stay away from my sister. I only say yes so she can be safe. You're going to have to do a lot more to impress me and everyone here. Not just her." Jeremy say in a low and threating whisper to Damon with the cue of subtitles as it so low.

Elena was busy congratulating Caroline and Bonnie. Who already was like her special girlfriends to her.

Flashing back to the van with Sage Eliminated...

"I mean Jeremy pick her, I don't get that. It's not going to last. Stefan pick Miss thingy bitch that is cheating on both brothers…. that is a fucking joke. Joke! Joke! JOKE!" Sage say in crying and angry like.

As we see Jeremy and Bonnie smiling towards each other and Stefan going to help Katherine passing drink to everyone.

But then goes back to an angry eliminated Sage in the Van…..

"Playboy Dick pick that little quiet of mouse bitch." Sage talks in the background we see a quick camera shot change showing of Elena with her drink as she looks across the room of Damon helping to pour them now for everyone.

The camera goes back to Sage in the van.…

"Now that's a FUCKING Joke!" Sage continue to weep. We see the group talking but goes back to Sage in the van.

"I don't think I will ever get a chance like this again. It's unfair. When will I get some?" Sage continue to cry and we see the van continue to drive off down the dark road on it way to the private airport.

Back to the group as they now gather around closer to each other in a semi-circle...

"Before we begin the toast. Chris if I may start a new tradition." Damon hold the bottle up. "This is for Sage who could no longer be with us her fine sexy self." As he pour some of the champagne out of the bottle and on to the stone floor.

"To Sage!" As the group say in unison as a respectful memories of her tonight.

"Thank You Damon." The Host Chris say.

"Single let us all raise your glasses as we toast tonight on big congrats complete the first round here on "Single in Paradise" and celebrating more dates to come and maybe surviving more of the drama that continues here…." Chris stating.

They all raise their glasses holding it their while Chris is toasting. We see now Katherine face as she nods in agreement.

"I hope these girls are wearing their saddles, because I am ready to give them a wild ride. I know now Elena going to be a major competition and problem. But with the help of convincing Jeremy how bad Damon is there is still a chance and I will get Damon back while trying to get rid of my annoying bitch of sister. After all she just baggage here." Katherine finish in her thoughts.

"I don't know if I should follow my heart or not, but I will find out more about Damon. Now if it there was only way I can convince Jeremy to let me see he then I can that chance." Elena thoughts looking at Jeremy.

"I can already tell things is going to get even crazy here in paradise and this was just the beginning of it. But I am going to try to get my brother back while hoping to stay with Katherine too if I can too. And if he can't accept us together then it time I need to start choose for myself plain and simple." Stefan in serious all throughout the toast.

"In other words let the real games beginning." Caroline now say in her thoughts knowing things are not going to get easier too.

"So let toast to more dates to come and hopefully the beginning of your journey at finding your soul mate walking out of here engaged. Cheers Everyone!" Chris finished
