The following morning six people were gathered in the kitchen at the boarding house having breakfast and coffee and in the case of Damon and Stefan some blood to go along with it. Damon, Bonnie, Stefan, Elena, Sydney, and Blake were all in the kitchen having conversation with each other, each couple sitting on standing beside each other.
"So from what I've heard among the supernatural's in Philly is that here in Mystic Falls a lot of crazy shit goes down in this town, supernatural shit." Blake said
"Yeah has any crazy supernatural shit gone down here recently?" Sydney added in question.
Damon sipped on his coffee that had blood mixed into it. "This town does seem to be a magnet for dangerous, evil out of this world type of stuff that's for sure."
"It is." Bonnie agreed. "For some reason this town draws supernatural's."
Stefan ate his breakfast as he stood next to Elena. "But it has been peaceful around here lately."
Elena nodded her head. "Thanks to Bonnie and her magic."
Bonnie looked up from her plate. "Not just me I've had plenty of help from the gang and couldn't have done it without my friends and Damon."
"That maybe true." Elena said "But you do the brunt of the work in taking evil creatures out."
"Elena's right witch you're the biggest reason why the people of Mystic Falls and even the world can live in peace." Damon directed at his wife. "You've done things like…."
"Killing Klaus." Stefan added.
Damon nodded his head. "Exactly."
Blake eyes went from Stefan to Bonnie. "Klaus as in the original vampire?"
Bonnie looked at Blake. "Yes that Klaus."
"The most powerful vampire who ever lived according to legend." Sydney added
"Is thankfully dead because Bonnie got rid of him." Elena said
Blake swallowed his food. "Whoa but I heard that this guy Klaus was impossible to kill."
Damon smirked. "That's what Klaus wanted us to think but we found a way around that and Bonnie ended him."
Sydney looked around the room. "There were rumors among the witches that the original was killed by a powerful witch but some said that Klaus couldn't be killed so I wasn't sure."
"Those rumors are true." Stefan commented. "Klaus is no longer."
"Wow." Blake looked at Bonnie. "That's impressive."
Sydney put her thumb up. "Yeah way to go sis killing one of the most powerful vamps to have ever lived."
"Thanks Sydney and Blake." Bonnie said
"My wife is so bad ass." Damon said kissing Bonnie on the cheek.
Bonnie smiled at her husband.
Stefan bit into a slice of toast. "Things are going good around her, maybe too good something could come along at any moment and break the peace."
"Please don't say that." Elena said
"Right brother don't go and jinx us or anything." Damon said
Stefan shrugged a shoulder. "Things are going well, but this still is Mystic Falls who knows what we'll have to face next."

Later that day Bonnie spend time with Sydney and they practiced some magic together. It was mostly light spells that didn't take a lot of energy. For an hour and a half they compared spells and showed each other what they knew and went over each other's spell books. There were some spells that Bonnie knew about in which Sydney did not so Bonnie told her sister that she would teach them to her.
Having enough of spell practicing for the day they took a break and sat at a table together Bonnie having sweetened hot tea and Sydney having coffee.
"That was fun and interesting." Bonnie said speaking of their magic session.
"I agree." Sydney said "Can't wait to practice more with you."
"We'll practice more for sure." Bonnie commented. "I have to work four out of five days during the week but when I come home in the evening we can practice more."
Sydney nodded her head. "That's alright with me."
Bonnie sipped on her tea. "If you don't mind me asking do you and Blake have a date?"
"You mean date for the wedding?" Sydney wanted to know.
"Yes that's what I mean." Bonnie confirmed.
"I don't mind you asking that." Sydney said "We will be getting married next spring in April."
Bonnie shifted in her chair. "Awesome, I hope that I'll get to go to that wedding."
Sydney looked at Bonnie. "Sure you're invited and if Damon wants to come he is invited as well."
"I'll let him know that." Bonnie said "How did Blake propose to you?"
A warm smile came op on Sydney's face. "It was one night a few months ago our band was playing in the club and at the end of the show he gets on his knee and we're on stage and he proposes to me in front of at least one hundred people. I was so overwhelmed that I think that I almost fainted but of course I said yes."
"How lovely." Bonnie said
"What about you how did your guy propose to you?" Sydney asked
Bonnie remembered it as if it was yesterday. "We were having a picnic and he asked me to get some cookies out of the basket and there was a ring box and an engagement ring in that box and he asked me to marry him so here I am married to Damon Salvatore."
"The two of you seem real you know how some couples can be fake or stay together for other reasons than love or being in love." Sydney went on. "But when I see you and Damon together I see a couple that really loves each other."
"Thanks." Bonnie said "I can say the same about you and Blake."
Sydney sipped on her coffee. "I guess a big reason what drew me to him was the fact that he has powers just like me normal humans they just don't understand what it's like to have this power in you and the pressure that it holds but Blake did and I guess that's why we connected."
"I completely get you on that one." Bonnie said
"Other great thing is that he's just a really good guy in general." Sydney said "One time there was this white female she saw me and Blake hanging out together so I guess she assumed that we were going out which we were still friends at the time. But she came at me with this nasty commented about how I needed a white man to feel better about myself because of my race and how black women didn't stand a chance against white women like her when it came to getting a white man."
Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Sounds like a bitch."
Sydney chuckled. "She was that, I was about to really curse this woman out, but Blake happened to over hear the conversation and he spoke to the women before I could. I mean he told her off, really told her off with some harsh words and said that there were plenty of white men attracted to or in a relationship with a black woman. He really stood up for me and that female was humiliated by the time that Blake got done with his verbal beat down on her."
"Upstanding man." Bonnie commented
Sydney nodded her head.
"Damon and I had to deal with the same type of issues." Bonnie confessed. "People having problems with us being together because of our race we basically told those people to fuck off."
Sydney sighed. "Some people in society are asshole's who try to force their rules of hatred onto other people and tell them how to live."
"That's true." Bonnie said
"When I see people's judgmental stares in public not every one but some people who stare at us like me and Blake are doing something wrong by being together just because we are two different races, it just makes our relationship that much stronger." Sydney said "No one else's hate filled views will make us stop loving each other."
Bonnie drunk more of her tea. "Couldn't agree with you more. On top of dealing with the human world having a problem with my relationship with Damon, some on the supernatural world do too."
"Oh yeah the whole witch and vampire loving each other is suppose to be forbidden right." Sydney commented
"Right." Bonnie said "A vampire is suppose to be a witches natural enemy and to be with a vampire that goes against all kind of rules in the witch world. But I love Damon and have a few vampire friends so I really don't care what others think about that."
Sydney shrugged a shoulder. "Hey you love who you love. Never let anyone's rules human or supernatural come between you and who you love. All that should matter is love."
Bonnie smiled. "I couldn't agree with you more Syd, couldn't agree with you more!"

To allow the sisters to spend some more time bonding together Damon took Blake to the Mystic Grill for a few drinks. He and Blake went over to the bar and sat down.
Matt who was working the bar came over. "Hi Damon."
"Matt." Damon said with a single nod.
"Can I get you anything?" Matt asked
"Sure but first let me introduce you to Blake." Damon said "You've heard that Bonnie has a long lost sister."
Matt wiped the counter with a rag. "Yeah I've heard that still can't quite believe it."
"Well her sister is in town." Damon explained "Her name is Sydney and this is Sydney's fiancé Blake, Blake this is one of Bonnie's long time friends Matt."
Blake held out his hand. "Hey Matt nice to meet you."
Matt briefly shook Blake's hand. "You too can I get you a drink?"
"I'll take a beer." Blake told Marr.
"I'll take some whiskey." Damon said
Matt put the rag over his shoulder. "Okay I'll be right back with your drink orders." He walked down the bar to fix their drinks.
Blake looked around. "Let me guess this place is the local popular hang out spot?"
Damon leaned over the counter. "It is, in a small town like this one the Mystic Grill is one of the most visited places by people in this town. There isn't a ton of options on hang out spots."
"Different from the big city for sure." Blake said
Matt served them there drinks and Damon and Blake had some small talk conversation. During their conversation a woman with black hair and green eyes came over sitting next to Blake on the bar stool. Really close to the point that Blake could feel her breathing on him. Damon could tell that the woman was obviously trying to get Blake's attention and flirt with him.
Irritated Blake turned to the woman. "Excuse me do you mind getting the hell out of my personal space."
"Sorry I saw this hot guy from across the room and thought that I should come over and take to him." The woman made a flirty wink at Blake. "Also that I should give you some company." she put her hand on Blake's shoulder.
Blake immediately shrugged her hand off. "First of all don't touch me, second I'm an engaged man and you're wasting your time if you came over here to pick me up."
"You're engaged?" The woman asked Blake.
"I am." Blake told her.
The woman looked around the bar. "I guess I was mistaken because I didn't see any woman sitting around you."
Blake arched a brow. "She's not here but she is my fiancé and she kick your ass if she was here for you flirting with me." Blake stated. "With that being said go away."
"You don't have to be rude." The woman said
"Oh believe me I do have to be rude." Blake corrected
The woman pouted. "How disappointing." Her eyes shifted to Damon and she almost drooled with how good looking that he was. "What about you handsome don't tell me that you're also taken."
"Actually I am." Damon smirked.
"Come on." The woman said in disbelief.
Damon held up the hand that showed his wedding band. "Married and happily so."
The woman put a hand on her hip. "How unfair both guys I see today are either engaged or married."
"Too bad for you." Blake said
"You don't look like a man who would stay committed to one woman." The woman directed to Damon.
Damon looked amused. "Dumb thing to say, you don't know me at all. I am a one woman man now."
The woman licked her lips like she wanted to eat Damon more like fuck him. "A guy that looks like you must have women throwing themselves at you all of the time, how can you resist?"
Damon rolled his eyes. "The same way that I'm resisting you."
"Is your wife even here?" The woman wanted to know.
"I don't see how that's any of your business." Damon said
The woman looked at her nails and then back at Damon. "I'll take that as a no, what she can't see can't hurt her." She added suggestively
"Lady fuck off." Damon told her running out of patience. "I don't want your ass and you couldn't hold a candle to my wife really."
Blake looked at the woman. "He's not interested and neither am I so please get lost and let us enjoy our drunk in peace."
The woman's race reddened and she stormed off.
Damon drunk more of his whiskey. "Some people are so desperate to get laid."
"You're telling me." Blake said
Damon and Blake were minding their own business when they were approached by two guys that looked like they had bones to pick.
"Our cousin told us that she was harassed me you two." One of them barked.
"Excuse us." Damon said with sarcasm.
The other man sneered. "Said that you two were messing with her."
"Oh really?" Damon said
Blake put down his beer. "We weren't messing with anyone your cousin tried to hit on us and we told her that we weren't interested."
"Don't lie you called her names." The first man said
"Your cousin is the one that's lying." Blake stated
The second man took offense. "You calling her a liar?"
Blake rolled his eyes. "I believe that I just did."
"Look she's just mad that we didn't want her ass." Damon said "So I told her to fuck off."
The first man glared at Damon. "You speak to her in such a disrespectful way?"
Damon raised both brows as if amused by this man's reaction. "I give respect to those who earn, then again maybe not."
Blake looked at the two men. "It's not our fault that your cousin couldn't handle rejection, she clearly wasn't worth our time."
The second man poked Blake on the arm. "You're going to pay for treating her that way."
"I'm so scared." Blake said with obvious sarcasm.
Damon laughed at that.
"Is something funny?" The first man asked.
"Would I be laughing if I didn't find something funny?" Damon asked
The first man kept glaring at him.
Damon raised his hands up in mock surrender. "Sorry that I rejected your cousin who's acting like a bitch in heat desperate to get laid."
The first man yanked Damon up by the collar. "Take that back." He said into Damon's face.
Almost everybody close by stopped what they were doing to watch the confrontation that was happening between the four men.
Damon caught a whiff of the man's breath. "Phew buddy ever heard of a breath mint?"
The man growled. "You're going to get your ass kicked."
"I like to see you try." Damon smirked but his tone was serious.
"Shit just got real." Blake joked.
The second man pushed Blake. "You should worry about me boy."
Blake got to his feet. "I'm going to give you one warning keep your hands off of me."
The second man pushed Blake again.
The first man tried to punch Damon.
Suddenly a brawl broke out between the four men. Damon and Blake were forced to fight off the two men who had foolishly decide to start a fight with them. The brawl lasted for a few minutes until Damon knocked the first man out cold with a punch and Blake took the second down by slamming his head into the bar counter.
Before they knew it two cops came in. One of the customers must have called them during the brawl.
"What's going on here?" The officer asked sternly
"We got called here for a fight."
The first officer looked at Damon and Blake and the state of the two men that had obviously lost the fight,
"Do you two need to come down town with us?" The officer asked
Damon held up a hand. "Whoa we didn't start this fight."
"We were just standing up for ourselves." Blake added. "They attacked us."
Matt spoke up. "It's true they just defended themselves with self defense."
Several of the other people around spoke up in Damon and Blake's defense.
"Alright sense you were defending yourselves we will let you go with a warning this time." the second officer said "Why don't you to get out of here for now."
"Fine by me." Blake said
Damon looked over at Matt who was still behind the bar "Thanks Matt for speaking up."
"No problem." Matt said with a nod of his head.
Damon and Blake exited the Mystic Grill.
"That went well." Blake joked
Damon chuckled. "You know what I think that you and I are going to become great friends."
