Chapter Five - Shotgun!

The Forbes Residents

Caroline messaged the whole group (excluding Damon) last night, confirming to all meet at her house by 10 am. She awoke the next morning more excited than she has ever felt in quite some time...

Elena arrived with Bonnie, Matt and a sleepy Jeremy at exactly quarter to ten (she has learned to either appear early or exactly on time when it comes to Caroline's planning).
"Ooh, you're all early great! You've got room for my cases right?" Caroline made sure.
"Yes of course." Elena smiled at her hyperactive friend.
"Good, okay let me just get them." Caroline started to wonder off back to her house.
"Caroline?" Her mom called out from the kitchen window, "Tyler is on the phone."
"Eugh, I'll be right back. You wouldn't mind dragging my cases over to the car would you?" She begged the girls.
"No we don't." Bonnie smiled to let her friend take her call. The two girls waited for Caroline to be out of sight before they spoke once again.
"I wonder why she was so annoyed Tyler called?" Elena mentioned to Bonnie.
"I don't know. Don't you find it's odd that she hadn't even invited him to come with us?" Bonnie continued.
"I did find that a bit weird. Obviously there is trouble in paradise." Elena sighed.
"Story of our lives." Bonnie said dryly.
"Amen!" Elena replied.
"What we amening?" Matt appeared with Jeremy.
"Not much. Just how life doesn't really ever go the way you want." Elena said with a smirk.
"Now that's an understatement." Jeremy chipped in. The four of them laughed and chuckled at their terrible lives.
"Shit! Caroline's suitcases." Bonnie remembered.
"Oh yeah." Elena replied. In the space of three seconds she ran over Caroline's porch to grab the cases and firmly put them on the ground in front of her car.
"It is going to take me some time to get used to you doing stuff like that." Jeremy rested his hand on his sister's shoulder when she was done.
"I have to admit, it is a bonus." She laughed. After a few minutes of chit-chat among the four of them Caroline came back from inside her house looking a bit flustered.
"You okay Care?" Bonnie asked her friend.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She smiled reassuring the witch. "Anyway, Where are the Salvatore's they are four minutes late?" Caroline looked around expecting them to be hiding.
"Chill out Caroline. It's four minutes I'm sure they won't take that much longer." Matt smiled.
"You know nothing about schedules Matt. Those four minutes in which we are standing here waiting are precious minutes that will add up!" She freaked.
"Okay, the two of them better hurry up now." Matt whispered to Jeremy.

Stefan and Damon pulled up moments later. Stefan jumped out of Damon's convertible without opening the side door, while his older brother had no interest getting out to greet the group.
"You're late." Caroline commanded at Stefan, however was glaring at Damon.
"Well if you told the designated driver aka me, what time to arrive then we wouldn't of been late." Damon pulled off his shades and smirked smugly.
"I messaged Stefan last night." Caroline's eyebrows lowered.
"You just proved my point Blondie..." Damon smile widened. Caroline gave in to the older vampire. Clearly frustrated, she stomped her foot and turned back on heel to speak to Elena.
"I am now at least ten minutes behind schedule! We really need to get a move on." Caroline complained and started to throw her cases into the trunk of Elena's car. Stefan glanced over to Elena to check if Caroline was okay. Elena shrugged insisting that she's fine.
"Done." She clapped her hands once the cases were inside the trunk. Everyone watched as her mood changed so suddenly.
"What are you staring at? Come on we are wasting precious minutes remember!"
"Precious minutes that I could be spending in bed..." Jeremy muttered to Matt and Stefan.
"I heard that!" She called out as she walked to the passenger seat of Elena's car.
"Lets get a move on then before Miss premenstrual bites us all." Bonnie teased.
"Ahh nice to see the Bennett witch cracking a joke!" Damon called out from inside his car.
"Whatever Damon." Bonnie grumbled and got into the other vehicle. Once the three girls were in Elena's car, it was now the boys turns to get into the other...
"And what do you two humans think you're doing?" Damon questioned as he saw (in the side mirror) Matt and Jeremy jump into the back of his Chevy. The two humans looked straight at Stefan for an answer.
"They are coming with us as. The girls are travelling in Elena's car?" Stefan explained in a tone insisting that he has already told this to Damon once before. His brother looked at him behind his shades – his eyes revealing that he has no recollection of this conversation prior.
"So why can't they get in the back of Elena's car?" He sighed.
"Because Elena's back seats are full." Elena called out while she slammed her trunk door.
"Full?" Damon breathed with annoyance.
"I have got to put at least seven cases in my car Damon." She pointed at the trunk. Once again Damon pulled his sunglasses off.
"Seven? There are five of you...Why on earth would you need an extra two cases?" Damon was now honestly interested. This time Caroline rolled down her window to lean out.
"I need at least two cases Damon!" She began, "One case is day wear and the second case in night slash evening wear which includes nine pairs of heels and four pairs of flats and the last case is a two weekly supply drink for me and Elena, so you do the math. Dick!" She smiled sarcastically as she held out her middle finger in front of her face to him. Everyone began laughing (including Bonnie) at Caroline's gesture which left Damon truly speechless.
"So does that answer your question?" Elena gleefully asked. Damon nodded reluctantly and turn the engine of his car back on while cursing everyone in his head. Stefan gave Matt and Jeremy reassuring looks and nodded at Elena instructing that they are ready to leave. She acknowledged back and with her vampire speed she left the back of her car to the front to open the driver door and slip inside. As soon as Damon heard Elena's engine ignite, he let her pull out however had a typical Damon Salvatore trick up his sleeve...
He pulled out at the exact same time and put his foot down on the accelerator speeding past her and cutting the car up causing Elena to slam down on her brakes. Outraged she slapped down on the horn to him.
"What the hell Damon!" The girls howled. Meanwhile in the other car, Stefan glared at his brother frustratingly but didn't say a word while the backseat passengers looked back at the annoyed girls faces.
"Ooo sorry girlies, don't want to be late! We'll see you at the airport!" Damon looked back as he continued to drive down the road. Matt and Jeremy smirked at the eldest Salvatore's payback while his younger brother refused to show any amusement even though he had to admit it was quite funny...

The Original's Household (Same time)

Rebekah did any last minute packing before Elijah came in to take her suitcase away to be loaded into his car. She pondered on the thought of this being the first time her and her brothers have actually been on a holiday together. What has she got herself into? She thought.
"Are you ready?" Elijah peered in through the door ready for her suitcase.
"Um, yeah one second!" She zipped it up and threw it to the ground for Elijah to take.
"What have you got in there? It is very weighty." He complained, however lifted it up and down like it was still empty.
"It's two weeks worth of clothes... What do you expect?" She frowned as she picked up her cell and purse before leaving her bedroom with Elijah by her side.

Klaus and Kol were in the foyer throwing a tennis ball to each other while waiting for Rebekah and Elijah.
"Oh finally the princess has arrived!" Kol bowed mockingly as he noticed Rebekah march down the stairs. Klaus couldn't help but throw the ball at Kol's lowered head.
"Ow couldn't you see I was in timeout!"
"You didn't say timeout so you wasn't in timeout." Klaus corrected him.
"Whatever, I didn't want to play your stupid game anyway." He sulked.
"It was your idea? and how is throwing a ball a game?" Klaus objected.
"I knew it was too good to be true... You two actually getting along." Elijah butted in as he got to the front door and opened it.
"Yes well, Kol is just a sore loser..." Klaus grinned. Kol threw the ball at his brother but it was caught effortlessly.
"Can we go now?" Rebekah whined staring up at the ceiling

Everyone listened to Rebekah and all left for the front porch. Elijah was the one to lock up and began to walk to his trunk to place Rebekah's case inside.
"Shotgun!" Kol screamed from no where and barged his way through his siblings before holding the passenger door handle for dear life.

"That is so not fair Kol!" Rebekah scowled and took her position at the back door as she waited for Elijah to unlock it. The two older brothers had the look of bewilderment etched across their faces. Elijah decided to let Kol's outburst pass and unlocked the doors to get his self settled in the drivers seat. Klaus on the other hand, stood next to Kol still outside the car with his arms folded and not impressed.
"Move."
"Uhh, no I said shotgun, you move." Kol bumped his brother out of the way to open the door. With his hand Klaus simply stopped the door from opening.
"What the hell is shotgun?"
"Kol said shotgun before the rest of us so he gets to sit in the front seat." Rebekah explained through the open window at the back.
"That is ridiculous. I am not letting him sit at the front because of some poxy word game!"
"Niklaus can you please just get in the back for now other wise we are going to be late." Elijah leaned across to look at the squabbling brothers. Reluctantly Klaus did what his older brother asked and stomped around the car to sit beside his sister. Once everyone was inside Kol turned around to Klaus.
"Just make sure you say shotgun before me next time Nik?" He winked.
"I will bring a shotgun next time, that will shut you up." Klaus hissed.
"Ouch, sore loser..." Nik pretended to be hurt and sat back around. Elijah switched his engine on and reversed out of the long drive before taking a left towards the airport.

It didn't even take five minutes before Kol was already at the radio scanning through every station he could find.
"Kol could you please leave it on one station." Rebekah begged. Suddenly Kol shot up finally recognizing a tune.
"I know this song!" He shrieked. Elijah laughed at Kol's excitement while the backseat passengers were far from smiling.
"Well done you know a song, what do you want a sticker?" Klaus mocked. He was ignored by Kol because he was now singing along to the lyrics.
"You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar... When I met you!"
"Oh here we go." Rebekah groaned fixing herself back into the seat.
"I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around...Turned you into someone new!" Kol continued.
"How does he even know these songs... I barely know the lyrics to this." Klaus complained to Elijah.
"He is only having fun. Let him be." Elijah told his brother. Klaus retreated back into his seat and rolled his eyes at Rebekah whom was also not enjoying Kol's Karaoke.
"Don't, don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me!" Kol pitched heightened.
"Elijah please do something? He isn't even singing it's shouting!" Rebekah tried to speak over her brother.
"The song is nearly over Rebekah just be patient." He sighed.
"The song just bloody started!" She huffed.
"Guys shut up, You are distracting me..." Kol gave a look of disgust to Klaus and Rebekah. Elijah shook his head in laughter as he pictured their faces.
"Distracting you?" Klaus was dumbfounded. Once again Kol ignored to continue his song.
"You think you've changed you mind. You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry!" Kol prepared for the important bit. "Don't you want me baby! Don't you want me oo oo!"
"NO!" Rebekah and Klaus bellowed. Kol spun around angry and turned the music down.
"Finally!" Rebekah sighed.
"You both could of just waited until I was finished." Kol frowned.
"I don't think any of us would have been alive to wait. You were killing us." Klaus joked and Rebekah snickered.
"Ha ha. Fine I'm just going to sing another song." Kol huffed.
"You were lucky enough to find a song you did know brother." Klaus continued to annoy Kol.
"Whatever. I blame you for that." Kol turned the volume back up to hear that his song was finished. He felt disheartened but changed the station to find a new one.
"Do not know that one.." He scanned through again, "Or that one. Ew no I'm not singing that one. What the hell is this one?"
"Wait! Kol leave it on I like this song." Rebekah asked suddenly happier that her favorite tune was on.
"Then I am definitely not listening to that one." Kol spitefully changed the station.
"What the hell Kol!?" Rebekah pouted and rested her chin in her hand. Pleased with pissing off his sister once again he tried to look for another however, Elijah moved his hand away and switched the radio off.
"I think I am tuned out." He told Kol with a stern look.
"Why did you not do that like fifteen minutes ago Elijah?" Klaus asked.
"Because I knew that it was annoying you." He grinned in the side mirror making sure Klaus could see. Once again the hybrid rolled his eyes and slumped back into the chair.
"Now what am I meant to do?" Kol asked his brother like a kid who had just had his toy snatched away from him.
"You have your mobile, do you not?"
"Ahh I almost forgot!" Kol excitedly pulled out his IPhone and headphones from his hoody pocket and began scrolling through his many tunes that he needed to catch up with over the years.
"Elijah what have you done?" Rebekah watched Kol.
"Relax he has his headphones you won't be able to hear it." Elijah assured.
"That doesn't stop me from hearing him though does it?" She moaned. Before Elijah had a chance to reply, Kol was already singing.
"You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar! When I met you!"
"Oh god no not again..." Rebekah clawed at her face in horror hearing the lyrics once again coming out of Kol's mouth. Klaus on the other hand had eventually given up and was now trying to sleep away the rest of this journey.
"Okay maybe I didn't think that far ahead..." Elijah apologized.
