A/N Hi everyone! Hope you've all been enjoying our story, this chapter deals with everyone getting ready for homecoming and is our longest one yet! in response to some of your reviews:

Amazing Awesome- That's definitely an interesting idea considering we haven't put much thought into who Nadia's father is, so you've certainly given us something to think about. And Lexi will be making a guest appearance in a few chapters so just watch out for her. Thanks for the support!

danielleerae23- There will be a lot of Steroline coming up in these next few chapters, because Stefan and Klaus are such close friends (Klefan scenes coming soon) you might not get to see Klaus jealous over the Steroline relationship (still there's always Caroline/Tyler to think about) Although you will get to see a bit of a jealous Stefan when he starts to realize Caroline may have a thing for Klaus, Thanks for reading!

Anyway, hope you all enjoy this chapter, don't forget to review/favorite/follow!

Elena Gilbert sighs taking a deep breath trying to avoid the stare of her ex boyfriend who walks in the room taking a seat next to her.

"Elena" he greets

"Damon" she replies simply

She turns away from him and focuses on the door while he keeps his stare on her. Then, Caroline walks into the room wearing sunglasse and a dark sweat shirt with the hood pulled up, obviouslly trying to avoid being noticed.

"Hey Caroline Forbes!" Damon shouts causing all the students in the classroom to turn o her and burst into laughter

Caroline groans throwing the glasses off glaring at him as she takes a seat behind Elena in the back of the class. Once she is seated the laughter dies down, but the students continue to whisper while glancing at her not so subtly and chuckling.

"Thanks Damons" she growls.

"Anytime Sweetheart" he says with a smile

Stefan and Klaus walk in next, Klaus glaring at everyone who freezes the moment they see him. They all looked torn between laughing and cowering in fear and end up doing a mixture of both. Stefan takes a seat next to Caroline giving her a reasuring smile while Klaus slips in the seat next to Damon who is obviosly trying hard not to laugh

"Any news on the incident?" Klaus asks him shooting a worried look at Caroline.

Damon smiles evily, "I'll talk to you at lunch"

Just then everyone in the group turns to the door to see Rebekah and Enzo walking in laughing together. "When did that happen?" Damon says sounding a mixture of confused, mad, and disgusted.

They all shrug, Stefan muttering "Well a lot of strange things happened last night"

Just then Alaric walks in the classroom saying "I feel we have a lot to talk about considering the... events that took place last night, who would like to go first?"

Yesterday evening

Caroline

"Yes I know but I honestly dont think he'll say anything" I assure Klaus.

Although we are talking over the phone I can tell he is smirking as he says, "Hopefully, if he values his life"

"Well this is Damon so threatning him probably won't work, which is why I'm talking to Elena" I reply. I sit in my car outside the Gilbert house with my dress and accessories in the back seat.

"You don't have to if you don't want to" he assures me

I smile "It's okay, I mean I'm certianly not Damon's biggest fan, but Elenas happy with him and he loves her so I'll put in a good word"

"Alright luv, I should get going it's a bit hectic here as usual, see you tonight" he says

I smile again in spite of myself, "Of course, I love you"

"Love you too Caroline"

ELENA

"You look perfect Care" I assure her as she spins around one more time looking in the mirror. Caroline had come over so I could help her get ready since she needs to be at the school early to make sure everything was ready.

"Are you sure? I want to look good for, you know, Tyler" she says with a small smile

I nod, "Tyler will be the luckiest guy there" I return

She smiles sitting down on the edge of my bed playing with a lock of her golden blonde hair. "Speaking of guys, you going with anyone tonight?" She asks casually

I shake my head, "No, sadly I'm flying solo"

"Well you don't have to go alone, didn't Damon ask you" she recalls

I let out a slight laugh shaking my head "Yes, although I much rather go alone then with him"

"Why?... I mean I know you two broke up, but why go alone when you have a perfectly willing hot guy just begging for you to accompany him" she reasons

I sigh slumping down on the bed next to her "Things are really confusing for us right now, I'm not just going to forget everything that happened for the night and pretend we're just some normal happy couple, I honestly can't believe he had the nerve to ask me to homecoming in front of the whole class" I mutter shaking my head

"Well that's Damon for you but still..." she trails off

I shake my head "Since when are you Damon's biggest fan?"

"Look Elena, to be perfectly honest I don't like Damon, some may say I hate him,but the one good thing he has going for him is that he loves you, and I'm pretty sure for some crazy reason you love him too, so as your friend I think the right thing to do is remind you of that and make sure you at least consider giving him a second chance, because even though he's a rude, arrogant, jerk, who doesn't know the definition of sorry... I mean he's Damon and you're Elena and even though it seems wrong some how you two make it work, you make it right for you" she says giving me a smile and putting a hand on my shoulder

I sigh, I had been very resistant to forgiving Damon after what he did, especially after everything going on now with Katherine, but if Caroline of all people thinks I should forgive him, maybe I should give him a second chance.

I smile, "You're right Care, I'll talk to him"

She returns my smile throwing her arms around me in a hug, "That's great Elena, I want you to be happy, even if it is with Damon"

"You're a good friend Caroline"

STEFAN

"Aww look at my baby brother getting all dressed up to impress a girl who thinks they're just BFF's for life" I turn to see Damon leaning against my door frame dressed in a black suit.

I roll my eyes, "I wouldn't talk if I were you Damon, at least Caroline talks to me"

I know it was a bit of a low blow considering how wrecked Damon has been over his break up with Elena, but he doesn't know the first thing about Caroline and I, and his constant teasing doesn't do much to help the situation. I had only confided in him about my feelings for Caroline because I felt there was no one else I could talk to. I mean, Elena was Caroline's best friend and my ex, Klaus had some weird obsession with Caroline, and Rebekah was... Rebekah. So I had told Damon, mostly because I was feeling guilty about liking Caroline while she was with Tyler, but Damon had done nothing to help the situation, in fact he basically just made it worst.

"And yet, my chances with Elena are still better then yours with Blondie" he says with a smirk as he walks into my room.

I sigh "So I presume that means Elena said no to your offer, great move by the way asking her in front of the entire class, real smooth"

He chuckles softly as he puts a hand on my shoulder, "oh brother, I was starting to worry you didn't have a sense of humour"

I sigh as I look back in the mirror adjusting my tie and running a hand through my hair. I turn to see Damon smiling at me evily.

"You know I'm totally team Steroline and all but I should warn you that Caroline has a major thing for Klaus" he says.

I turn to him raising an eyebrow, "What gave you that impression?" I ask

He smirks again, "Call it a feeling, I'm just saying I wouldn't give my hopes up"

I sigh grabbing my bag, " Whatever, I have to go, I'm helping Caroline set up"

"Suprise suprise" he says smirking "I have to go too, I'm picking up Katherine" he adds

Now it's my turn to smirk, "You're taking Katherine?"

He rolls his eyes, "No, we just have to go... do something before homecoming tonight" he decides.

"Have fun with that" I say as I exit the room

"Have fun trying to win over Blondie, you vs Klaus can't wait"

Katherine

"What about this one" I say holding up a strapless emerald green dress.

Nadia shakes her head giving the dress a thumbs down. She lounges on my bed watching me as I try and decide which dress to wear to homecoming.

I nod in agreement to her decision. "At least you don't completely lack taste" I say as I toss the dress aside.

"Is this about me going with Matt to homecoming? I thought you liked him" she says raising an eyebrow.

I shake my head, "Matt's sweet and cute and all, but My daughter can do better. Not to mention he practically worships me" I say

She chuckles, "Don't all men?" She jokes

I smile approvingly as I pull the next dress out of my closet smiling. I hold it up to her and her eyes light up, "Perfect" she decides

"Perfect" I agree.

"So, are you getting all dressed up to impress Elijah?" She says with a smirk raising an eyebrow suggestively.

I roll my eyes, "Nope, I broke up with him this afternoon" I explain as I lie down on the bed next to where she's sitting

"Why, I thought you liked him" she says, her tone remaining neutral

"I did and I do, but things with Elijah they just weren't as fun anymore, I want to be with someone a bit more exciting" I decide standing up and pulling out my phone

"A man exciting enough to hold the attention of Katherine Pierce, good luck finding that" she says in reply.

I shoot her a smile rolling my eyes before dialing a number on my phone.

"Hey, I'm on my way" Damon answers

I smile in spite of myself before saying, "Did you get it?"

I can practically see him smirking, "Of course, I presume you have everything as well" he replies.

I smile evilly and notice Nadia looking over at me a bit confused, "I'm working out a few details, but I'll have it all ready in time"

"Excellent, see you soon?"

"Can't wait" I say with a smile as I hang up, tossing my phone on the bed.

"Who was that?" Nadia asks almost immediately

"Damon" I say simply as I begin to chose the jewelry to go with my dress.

"Oh, Damon" She says giving me a look.

I roll my eyes, "Calm down we're just friends"

"Since when does Katherine Pierce have friends?" She asks raising an eyebrow

"I'm trying something new" I respond with a smile.

She laughs lightly, "Alright, I have to go get ready, have fun with Damon" she says with a smirk.

I too can't help but smile, "Trust me I will, we have big plans for tonight" and with that she laughs one more time before leaving. If only she knew.

Klaus

"You? Go to a dance? Ha! Who would ask you to a dance?" Mikael says laughing at the idea

I clench my fist trying not to rip his head off knowing that will only end badly for me. "Nobody asked me, I'm going alone" I say simply.

"Ha! How expected, always a loner Niklaus, then again I pity any woman dumb enough to waste her time with you. What about you Elijah, I'm sure you have a date unlike this waste of space over here" Mikael says nodding his head at me. I remind myself to remain calm.

Elijah sits in the arm chair across from Mikael reading a book, obviously trying to avoid our conversation. He sighs putting his book down.

"Actually father Katerina and I broke up today, so I no longer have anyone to accompany me to the dance" he says a bit nervously.

"You idiot! Letting that girl get away? The one girl you date who's presence doesn't disgust me and what do you do? You scare her off, forcing her to leave you for someone far better I'm sure! You disgust me almost as much as your brother!"

Elijah puts his head down in shame while I decide to cut in, "Actually, it was Elijah here who broke up with Katherine" I explain

"Ha! As if this imbusole broke up with that fine young woman! Next thing you know you'll be telling me Niklaus here won prom king!" he laughs as if it were the funniest thing that could happen.

I sigh, ever since Mikael had found my siblings and I ten years ago our mother had used her last days to make a spell binding his life with ours so that he wouldn't kill us. Another part of this spell was we were all bound so that we could not leave the family house to live anywhere else, unless it was some sort of emergency situation, as if living with Mikael was going to make us all bond and become one big happy family. The only thing it managed to accomplish was making my life a nightmare.

Just then Rebekah walks in to the room, still dressed In her school clothes. "Daughter, tell me that not all my children are complete disappointments, with whom are you going to this silly dance thing with?" Mikael asks

"I'm not going" She says simply plopping down on the couch.

"I thought you we're going with Matt" Elijah says

Rebekah shakes her head angrily "That jerk just called, says he's breaking up with me, that I'm too clingy and occasionally scary, can you believe that! Me, clingy and scary! That stupid wanker!" She yells shaking her head.

A rare moment in history then occurs because Mikael and I both break into laughter. We both stop immediately after glaring at each other before Mikael turns back to Rebekah

"You foolish girl letting that pathetic human boy break your heart. If you were truly my daughter you'd go prove your worth by ripping him to pieces and making him beg for mercy like a true Mikealson!"

Rebekah rolls her eyes, "No thanks, I'm not going to go murder some poor human because he angers me, I'm not Klaus" she says shooting me a look

"Ha! This boy is far too weak to ever exact revenge like that! I must admit you and Elijah truly disgust me with your behavior I expect better from you two your suppose to be slightly less pathetic then this one!"

I decide I can't take any more of this and shoot up off the couch, "I'll be going then" I say heading to the door.

"Have fun Niklaus, dancing alone!" The last thing I hear as I exit the house is the sick sound of Mikael's laughter

Damon

I stop my car parking in front of Katherine's house and step out onto the sidewalk. I look up at the house which doesn't exactly scream Katherine Pierce. It is a decent sized town house with a wrap around porch and a white picket fence that circles the perfectly manicured lawn. Katherine lives here along with her daughter, Nadia, and a human family she has compelled to not question her and, most importantly, never let anybody in without her permission (So klaus doesn't come and kill her in her sleep).

I walk onto the porch and ring the doorbell staring at the bright red door. Almost immediately the door swings open

"Damon!" Ms. Winchester greets with a wide smile on her face.

Ms. Winchester, first name being Abigail, is a small women in her late thirties. She has short cut golden blonde hair and bright blue-green eyes. As far as I can tell she considers Katherine a room mate of sorts and always greets me warmly knowing her and I are friends.

"Hey, Ms. Winchester, Katherine here?" I ask, although I know the answer.

She smiles widely "Of course, she's right up stairs" Abigail steps aside and I nod walking into the house. Right away I am greeted by two smiling faces. Abigail's children, Andy and Lea, both run up to me and tackle me into hugs.

"Damon! Damon! Damon! Damon! Damon!" they cheer as they bounce around me

I don't even have to turn around as I outstretch a hand and catch a football just in time considering it was hurtling full speed at my head. Once I catch it I hurtle it back at its owner all in one swift movement.

"Dang it!" Shouts a little boy as he races over to join his sibling. Colton.

Abigail has three children, triplets, Andy, Lea, and Colton. Andy has short blonde hair with bright blue eyes, while Lea has light brown hair and hazel eyes, and Colton has Long dark brown hair with the same blue-green eyes as his mother. All three kids are crazy all the time, to say the least, and are on some sort of constant sugar high. Katherine swears she hates them all and that one day she will lose her temper and eat them, but I'm pretty sure she secretly loves them and enjoys the feeling of having younger siblings.

"Nice try Colton" I laugh at the boy who furrows his brows.

"How do you do that?" He whines.

Colton is a NFL player in the making and is constantly throwing around a football. One time he was tossing it around with Andy and accidentally hurled it at my face, but being a vampire and all I caught it with ease. Colton was surprised by my reflexes, obviously, and has made it his mission to catch me off guard one day and continuously throws the ball at my head, hitting everyone else but me in the process.

"I'm a vampire" I say smiling as I give him a high five.

He rolls his eyes, "yah right" he mutters.

"You don't even sparkle" Lea adds helpfully.

I laugh at their ignorance before saying, "You're right, so how's Katherine guys?" I ask with a smirk. They all seem to cringe at the name

"She's mean!" Andy decides

"And scary" Lea adds

"And hot!" Colton says with a bright smile

I laugh at this turning to their mother who is also chuckling at Colton's obvious crush on Katherine.

"Same old same old then right" I say as I begin digging in my bag,"Anyway I got you guys something" I say pulling out a large jars that contains 7 pounds of gummy bears.

"Candy!" They all shriek snatching the jar and racing over to the table as they begin snatching handfuls of the treat and throwing them into their mouths.

"That was very sweet of you Damon, all though, they'll probably never sleep again" Abigail says chuckling.

I smile in return before turning to the staircase, "I'm gonna head upstairs" I tell her

She nods, "You look very handsome by the way, where are you two headed?" She asks

"Homecoming" I say with a smirk. She nods and I turn away heading upstairs were I bump into Nadia.

"Damon" she greets with a smile "You look nice" she says. The two of us are on okay terms, we don't have anything against each other, but we're also far from friends.

"You too" I say simply. She wears a simple, short, black strapless dress and her hair is styled curly like her moms

"She's in her room" She explains.

I nod before taking the stairs two at a time. As I near the door, I see Katherine examining herself in the mirror and stop walking for a moment. She's wearing a dark black gown that flows all the way down to the floor perfectly. She pairs it with a layered diamond necklace that sparkles almost as brightly as her diamond earings. She wears silver heels that seem much too high for any normal girl to walk in. With her hair curled as always she looks gorgeous, not that I would ever admit it to her.

She notices me, and turns around, the dress twirling around with her.

"What do you think?" She asks giving me a flirty smile.

"Very elegant, Miss Petrova." I decide. She rolls her eyes as she walks over to me.

"You don't look half bad yourself Mr. Salvatore." She jokes, fixing my tie. I hear giggiling and turn around to see three heads peeping out from the staircase. Katherine pushes past me and walks over to the staircase, looking down at the children.

"I'm going to count to three and you better be gone by then." Katherine threatens. Anyone else from Alaric to maybe even me, would have responded quickly to this, but the children just laugh, and eat a few more gummy bears.

"I'm sorry..Miss Patrova." Colton says causing the others to laugh. Katherine narrows her eyes at him, which just makes them laugh harder.

"Yeah, we didn't mean to interrupt you guys, Mr. Salvatore." Lea says flashing me a grin. I stand behind Katherine and respond by sticking my tounge out at the young girl, who copies my face in response. Katherine turns around and hits me with her clutch.

"Don't engage!" She says sternly, but I notice the slight grin on her face. "Now move!"

She pushes past the three and I follow her down the stairs. As we walk towards the exit, Abagail squeals. Yes. She squeals.

"You two look adorable! Can I take a picture, just one?" She exclaims, fumbuling in a drawer for a while before pulling out a camera.

"No." Katherine says pulling me towards the door. I stay put and she shoots me a look.

"Katherine, you heard the woman. She just wants one pcture and who are we to deny her of that." I say, causing Abagail to nod along happily, and Katherine to roll her eyes.

"Fine! One picture." She says. She walks over to me, and stands by my side putting on a bright smile. I wrap my arm around her waist, and put on a smile myself. The camera flashes once. Then Twice. Then a third time. Before the camera flashes once more Katherine pulls me away using her vampire speed to force me out the house, slamming the door behind her.

I laugh at the annoyed expression on her face, which causes her to playfully hit me.

"With that woman, one picture means fifty! And as you know, I have things to do." She grunts, fixing her hair, which was already perfect.

"Did you get the stuff?" I ask, my expression turning a bt more serious.

"Yep, its in the trunk." She responds nodding towards her car.

I nod, and am about to suggest we leave before the dance is over, but hear a banging. We both turn and see the children in the upstairs window. They make kissy faces at us while giggling. Katherine picks up a nearby rock and flings it at the window. It breaks through the glass and the kids scream, their foot steps echoing as they run out of the room.

I turn to her and she shrugs, before walking towards the car. I follow closely behind and we both get it. Katherine starts the car and turns to me with a smile.

"Operation Klaroline is a go."
