Lamb arrived in Mystic Fall's late in the evening, the day before Veronica's graduation. He parked his rental car in front of the house Elena Gilbert had told him to go to and he was welcomed by a young brunette beauty. Well, if she was the one plotting with him, he was all in! Even if he didn't manage to ruin Veronica, if he could get into Elena's pants, he would feel like he won a little.

After she showed him the room he could stay in, he heard her getting into an argument with her little brother and then he heard the boy leaving the house.

Alone, even better.

Then they spent the whole evening and part of the night discussing plans and planning. Elena wanted to attack Veronica by using Bonnie, the friend Mars had stolen…

He didn't care, he had nothing to lose anymore… he had no job waiting for him in Neptune, no more friends, no reputation, nothing… He even tried to become a Private Investigator but had failed the test… How fair was that? If Vinny VanLow could do it then why couldn't he? He was sure someone had done something to sabotage him… Maybe even Mars herself.

Before going to bed, Lamb couldn't help but notice how Elena was flirting with him… She was very pretty… Maybe a brunette wouldn't get him in trouble… it would be a nice change…

.

The next day, he went with Elena to Veronica's graduation and they both left as soon as Veronica had seen him. She was very supported and had lot of people on her side in this town… Getting to her wouldn't be easy…

.

They both waited a couple of days, to make sure Veronica wasn't expecting anything anymore before they did anything. Lamb and Elena spent those two days in the house and they talked about a lot of things.

"I called Bonnie and told her I wanted to talk to her and apologize… She'll be here soon." Elena informed him.

"Good. Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked her.

"Yes. I just want Veronica to suffer!" Elena replied.

.

When Bonnie received the phone call from Elena, she immediately called Veronica and Damon. Veronica and Klaus met Bonnie and Damon mid-way to Elena's house.

"Something's up… I've got a bad feeling…" Bonnie said.

"A witchy bad feeling?" Damon asked her worriedly.

"Yes." She replied.

"Then you're not going!" Damon announced.

"I have a plan!" she informed them all.

"What do you want to do?" Veronica asked her friend.

"I've prepared a special potion… As soon as I'm in the house I'll break it on the floor and its scent will make them both unconscious. Then you'll come and compel them to forget about their bad feelings toward Veronica." Bonnie suggested.

"It could work…" Damon admitted, still not liking that she would be in danger but glad he would be around.

Bonnie went to Elena's, followed closely by Veronica, Damon and Klaus.

She arrived to the door and rang the bell, the potion tightly in her hand. Soon she was greeted by a smiling Elena.

She walked in and heard the door closing behind her. She used that opportunity to throw the potion on the floor.

The noise of two bodies falling on the ground came to her ears and she ran to the door, pushing the bodies on the side and letting Damon and Veronica in (Klaus hasn't been invited in).

Damon opened their eyes while they were unconscious and compelled them to never think of Veronica ever again. They weren't mad at her anymore. They weren't jealous of her either. They would keep on living their lives as if nothing ever happened.

.

"Will that work?" Alaric asked them later as they met at the Grill.

"Yes. Before we left we waited until they woke up and pretended nothing happened. They seemed…fine." Bonnie said.

"Why did you hesitate before saying 'fine'?" Jeremy asked with worry for his sister in his voice.

"Well… I couldn't help but notice that Lamb looked at her… Well…" Bonnie was looking for her words.

"Lamb has the hots for your sister and she has a crush on him. They're probably hooking up right now!" Veronica said, not willing to waste anymore time on her two nemesis when she needed to study for her PI exam.

"I… I'll go back to Matt's for a couple of days I think…" Jeremy said, not sure how he felt about his sister being with such an old guy.

"What do you think about this Veronica? How's the guy?" Alaric asked.

"Don Lamb is an idiot, I've met smarter sandwiches!" Veronica replied with an amused smirk.

"I remember him being obsessed with the wizard of Oz..." Lilly said with an amused smiled before she remembered what that would remind Veronica of and she looked down.

"sorry V, I forgot." Lilly added.

"Don't worry about it..." Veronica replied, happy that the subject of Lamb and Elena was close...for now!

.

Lamb's POV:

After Elena's friend left and we made peace with Veronica, things got weird for a while. I could have left… Maybe I should have, after all this girl wouldn't be 18 until the end of the summer… I should have turned around and left, going back to Neptune or anywhere else but here.

But I'm an idiot and I stayed…

Before I know it she had her arms around my neck and she was kissing me… Of course I'm kissing her back and pressing her closer against me… I'm a man and I'm never one to refuse a hot body…

I might get in trouble for this… I don't care… We'll see how things turn out…
