Hello, this is a new chapter that will be split it in two, this upcoming chapters are kinda a rollercoaster, so hope you enjoy.

Bonnie opened her eyes and she felt the Carnival spirit in the air. Today was the "Mystical Carnival of Mystic Falls" and everyone always attended because it was fun. it had mechanic games, food, the horror house, the mirror house and more.

The Carnival was always expected for Bonnie and her friends but now things were complicated.

Tyler and Caroline acted weird with each other and Bonnie and Damon weren't exactly okay since the night she cried over him. She told him everything was alright but she was lying.

after he called and texted her the pretty next day, she decided she didn't want to show how his actions had affected her so she lied and said she was okay. But still things weren't exactly good so it wasn't a surprise when the day of the Carnival arrived and no one had made plans.

"not coming?" Grams asked Bonnie, who had been acting strange lately

"Uh... Maybe later Grams" Bonnie said with a simply smile

"Everything's okay with your friends? You always loved to attend the Carnival" Sheila said worried about it

"I still do, we didn't agree on anything but I guess I'll see them there later" Bonnie tried to sound as fresh as she could and took one more sip of her orange juice

"Okay, Child, you know I love you, but I promised Liz I'd help her with the Food stand, you sure you okay?"

"Grams, I'm fine, seriously, I'd be there by night I promise"

Sheila nodded and hugged her granddaughter "I love you"

"Love you too Grams"

Bonnie sighed once Grams left, Bonnie didn't really had plans to go to the Carnival this year, she was feeling, heartbroken? Yeah maybe that was, she knew Damon would be there and she wasn't feeling like seeing him, even when she had said that everything was okay, it wasn't, she wasn't exactly angry at him, she was angry at how her feelings toward him were affecting her, she was falling for him, hard and she didn't want nor needed this to increase.

So Bonnie decided to stay home and avoid Damon.

Caroline knew why Bonnie didn't want to go to the Carnival and in a way she understood, she didn't agree with her decision, not at all, but she understood, that's why she didn't push her when her friends asked her to go. Sadly if Bonnie wasn't going she'd be there with the guys, Stefan and Tyler and things were still awkward with Tyler, a stare, a simply rose and she was blushing, that's why she lied and said she wasn't feeling like going.

It was hard for Caroline specially because she loved the Carnival since she was a kid, once she even was crowned as Miss Carnival, ugh, this was hard. But she knew it was what she had to do.

"Babe, I'm leaving, you sure you don't wanna go?" Liz asked as she saw her daughter laying on her bed

"No, I'm okay here"

"Okay... " Liz closed her door

Caroline heard her front door closing so when she heard a knock she wondered what had her Mother forgotten this time, she rolled her eyes and stood up.

Walking downstairs she screamed

"I'm coming"

She hated when her mother forgets things

"What did you leave..."

Caroline was embarrassed beyond words, her cheeks went from pale to reed in seconds, in front of her was Tyler and she was wearing an old grey t shirt, white short and her hair was in a messy ponytail, obviously no makeup on.

"OH MY GOD! don't look at me!" She shouted and tried to close her door but he stopped her

"Hey" once he made his way inside she ran covering her face

"Don't look at me! Tyler! Are you looking at me?!" She was desperate why does she have this bad luck?

Tyler just laughed

"Caroline, relax"

"No, I look like a mess! Stop looking"

He smiled and couldn't believe how she could think she was looking like a mess, she was stunning as usually to his eyes.

"Caroline c'mon, it's just me" he said holding her hands to make her stop trying to cover her face

Caroline stopped and looked down

He lifted her head "hey, where is the confident blond who's too good for everyone" he asked smirking

"I don't know" she said whining

"You look as beautiful as usually Care, it's okay" he said and Caroline felt her heart miss a bit, she suddenly looked up to see if he was joking or making fun of her, he wasn't, she could see it in his eyes he meant it. Still she had to ask.

"Do you really think so?"

He chuckled and nodded, "of course I do"

Caroline felt like kissing him, he was holding her hands and they were way too close, her eyes looking into his eyes and she wondered if she was dreaming.

Suddenly a call ruined their moment.

"Uh... It's yours" Caroline said taking some steps back

Tyler already wanted to kill whoever was calling. It was Stefan.

"Yeah?" Tyler answered

"Hey, Damon and I are at the Carnival, I know it's pretty early but it's our first 'Mystical Carnival' so we were excited, you coming?" Stefan asked and Tyler nodded

"Yeah, uh I was actually here to invite Caroline, so we'll be there in minutes"

Stefan smiled "nice, you gonna ask her out? Would be this your first date?"

"Shut up, nah, but soon" he said to not say much in front of Caroline. "See ya there"

"Good luck bro"

And the call was ended.

Caroline looked at Tyler and he smiled

"Wanna come to the Carnival, I know you said you didn't feel like it but, I know how much you used to love it and you were once Miss Carnival, so I feel like you belong there" he said with a nice smile and she melt

"Uh... Well I don't know, I can't go like this..."

"I'll wait for you, Change take your time"

"Really? Maybe you should get going, I'd probably take too much"

"Nonsense, I'll wait" he said and sat comfortable on the couch

She smiled "okay then you wait here"

"Is he coming?" Damon asked Stefan

"Yeah, he went for Caroline"

Damon smirked "finally gonna make a move?"

"Seems so" Stefan smiled eating his cotton candy

"It's Bonnie coming?" Damon asked trying to look fresh

"I don't think so"

Damon tried to not be obvious but something was bothering him, she said everything was okay between them but now things were different, she answered his text with one, three words max and she was always 'busy' to answer his calls, was she avoiding him? Or was she actually busy?.

"Hey, I'll try luck with that game, I feel like my aim it's in it's best moment"

Stefan said and Damon rolled his eyes, soon he found himself alone and decided to keep walking.

Everything was pretty calm till he saw her, it was Jenna, he decided to turn around and walk to the other side that lead him to the food zone, he wasn't hungry but Jenna was near so he decided to pretend he was busy buying something.

"Uh... How much is that burger?" he asked not paying much attention of who was he talking to.

"Hello Damon"

Damon was frozen, he suddenly felt like he needed to act in his best behavior, that voice belonged to one and just one women. Sheila Bennett AKA Grams

"Oh, hey there Sheila, nice to see you"

She smiled to be kind

"It's a surprise to see you in here and not trying to go after my granddaughter" she chuckled "I'm just kidding, the burger it's 5 box"

He nodded and payed

"Why isn't Bonnie here?" He asked trying to make it sound as if it wasn't a question he had spinning around his head since he arrived

"I don't know, you tell me" she said smirking

"I have no idea, I've been calling her but she doesn't answer"

"Pity" Sheila said with a sarcastic tone

Damon sighed frustrated, why does this woman hate him so bad?

"Look, I get it, I'm older than Bonnie, I shouldn't be hanging around with her, but she's my friend, I respect her and I really care about her, so ... Don't judge me please, I just.. "

"You want me to accept you?" Sheila asked and handed him his burger and he nodded "to like you?"

"Yes Ma'am, at least give me a chance, I'm not a bad person"

Sheila smirked she knew he wasn't a bad person, that wasn't the matter.

"But you take bad decisions, how can I trust my granddaughter with someone who takes bad decisions?" She said calm and this time actually smiling

Damon wondered what did she mean, how? Well yeah he had a record of bad decisions in his life, Katherine, putting his dad's dreams over his but how did she know? Then he remembered what Tyler said about her. She's a psychic.

"Look, Sheila, I really care about Bonnie, my bad decision record ended when I decided to meet her, your granddaughter means a lot to me, and if you can't see that then ... Excuse me but you are blind"

Sheila was impressed, he was braver than she thought, she liked that.

"You talk as if you were interested in Bonnie"

Those words were like cold water for him and Damon got nervous, he knew if Sheila was having thoughts then she could tell Bonnie to never see him again, he's older and it wouldn't be right, Damon quickly tried to fix it.

"No, she's my friend just a friend"

Sheila pretended she believed him and smiled

"It's okay, I was joking" she lied "Call her, I bet she'd love to be here, she always loved the Mytical Carnival" and with that she went to attend other clients.

Damon bit his lower lip, what were his real feelings toward Bonnie? This conversation just made him wonder so many things, but he knew something for sure, he'd call Bonnie.

And deep down he knew the truth, he loved Bonnie and not just as friends.

'I heard there is a Carnival, are you going?'

It was Kai's text. They had been sending texts for a half an hour by now.

'I don't know, not sure if it's going to be that good'

'oh come on! What? You rather stay at home?'

'nahh it's just I don't feel like going' Bonnie hoped he wouldn't ask her to go, because she'd have to reject him.

'boring'

'I'm not boring' she simply texted

'yes you are, you are not there'

'you either, I guess you are boring too' she smirked at herself

'I'm not boring, Bunny' Kai replied

Bonnie rolled her eyes 'yes, you are because you aren't there'

'oh so, you want me to go? Okay then in 20. I'll see you there' he added a winking emoji and Bonnie didn't know how he did it.

How did she end up asking him out? What? This was a trap!

'hey!'

'nope, you said it Bon, now you better be there or you'll be crowned the most boring person ever'

Bonnie couldn't help but laugh she had been fooled, but it had been fun.

What an idiot, she thought, Kai was such a kid, even when he was older than her, anyways his plan worked she was going, she changed into a pair of jeans and a black shoulders off bodysuit and was ready to go.

Kai was funny, she thought

He didn't mind to wait for Caroline he didn't, really, but you know how hard is to keep it cool knowing your crush is showering a couple meters from you?.

When he heard she was showering he tried his hardest not to think about her and not to think about her being naked, but it wasn't as easy as it seems, he was trying to keep it calm and not to have bad thoughts.

Yeah it was a torture but thing went from bad to worst when she started to sing, her voice was so sweet and in bit, damn this was once of his fantasies and he was living it, obviously in his fantasy he would join her and she would be fine with it, but he knew he couldn't do it, nor even try such a thing so he stayed there, sitting on the couch and trying to think about anything but Caroline naked.

His torture soon finished and she started to change, that wasn't a easy moment for him either, his mind traveled and imagined her Wondering what to wear, he smirked at the thought.

Twenty minutes later she was ready and she was gorgeous, she had a white tank top with a jacket jeans and black jeans with black boots.

"You look beautiful" he said and she blushed

"Thank you, now let's go" she said excited and both walked to the Mystical Carnival.

Stefan was right his aim had been good enough to win him a funny bear, he smiled at the stuffed animal and decided he would gift it to the first kid who would say it was cute.

He walked through the Carnival and saw known faces, he suddenly got distracted with the horror house when he bumped into someone

"Oh I'm sorry" he said and she smiled

"It's okay, uh..." She suddenly realized her soda were all over her pink top "oh man"

Stefan felt the urge to help her "I'm sorry, I'm such a dumb boy"

"Nah, I was distracted too" she said trying to clean her top

"I'm Stefan and I'm truly sorry"

She shook her head "I'm Daniella, but people call me Ella" she said but it was obvious her top was ruined

He smiled and nodded "Ella looks like I owe you a pretty pink top"

they laughed at the same time

He realized she was beautiful but something was off , how he hadn't seen her before? Mystic Falls wasn't that big.

"Uh, are you from Mystic Falls?" Stefan asked interested

"Oh.. no, I'm just visiting, I live in a town near here, Grandville"

He couldn't help but feel disappointed, he liked this girl "uhm... Well you can always visit us, right?"

She smiled and nodded "Sure, I'm already loving it, uh.. My parents got a dessert stand and to be honest I don't know people in here... Would you mind... If I tag alone?" She asked nervously and bit her lower lip, not in a sexy way just in a nervous one, obviously Stefan found it more sexy than anything.

"Sure, why not, let's go and play some games, plus maybe I can win a T- shirt for you" He said and she clapped

"THANK YOU! A 'Queen of The Carnival' one and we'll be even" she said smiling, now she wouldn't be alone and the company she got was good really good, she couldn't deny to herself she find him handsome but she felt like a guy like him probably had a girlfriend, plus she was staying there just for the 3 days the Carnival lasted, so, she wouldn't let herself get used to him. Because she'd probably never see him again.

When she arrived he was already there, he looked good, Kai was handsome for sure, but she really needed to let him know she wasn't interested. She just needed to find a way to say it in a kind way.

"Hey, you made it, was starting to wonder what to do if you didn't come"

She chuckled "I'm Bonnie Bennett, I honor my word"

He smirked "Good to know, so uh, isn't your friend Caroline coming?" He asked and Bonnie frowned slightly

"She said she wouldn't, she didn't want to come"

"Oh, thing is, Am I in danger now that is just the both of us? Is your tall blue eyed older friend about to kill me?" He teased and she folded her arms

"Why would he?"

"Because he seemed jealous that night we met"

And the night you called according to Caroline, but for her own good she tried not to think about it, she didn't need to have hope, she and Damon weren't mean to be more than friends. Right?

"He's just a friend" she said

"Okay, so what do we do now?"

Bonnie shrugged "I don't know"

"What a boring girl" he teased and holding her hand he lead the way

Bonnie tried to stop him but his happy attitude was contagious, so she hurried following him. Letting him hold her hand.

When Tyler and Caroline finally arrived they called Stefan but he wasn't answering, so they tried to just look for him, they knew he would be there.

Caroline was happy, the Carnival was exactly as she remembered, colorful, fun, and delicious she already had bought some pop corn.

"Okay, a lot of people came this year, so what if we play some and then we try to find Stefan and Damon?" Tyler asked

"Sure, what about the horror house?"

"You sure you want to go there?" He raised an eyebrow and she thought about it.

"Okay, better idea play one of those aim games, win a stuffed animal for me so I can hug it while we are in the horror house" she looked at him and he smirked

"Sounds like a plan"

Tyler and Caroline walked to the games zone and there Tyler tried to impress her, she tried her luck too and both of them ended up in a competition against each other.

While Tyler and Caroline were throwing balls at bottles, Kai was buying candy apples for him and Bonnie.

"You didn't have to" Bonnie said with a sweet smile

"It's nothing Bon, enjoy"

Suddenly a man in the scenario takes the mic and announces the 'Miss Carnival' contest, so all the ladies who wanted to participate should inscribe

"You should try it" Kai, Tyler and Stefan said to their own companies

"Oh there's no way, I'm not 5" Bonnie answered to Kai

"Ty, no, I mean ... Please no" Was Caroline answer

"I'm not even from here" Daniella said and Stefan rolled his eyes

The three girls were undecided, should they try it?.

Damon was bored, Stefan wasn't answering his calls and Bonnie either, he wondered if he should go for her, maybe she was having the worst time of her life in bed.

Damon tried to call her one last time and try his luck.

When Bonnie finally heard her phone she decided to take the call.

"Damon?"

"Hey" Damon immediately smiled when he heard her voice "you coming to the Carnival?"

Bonnie didn't know what to say...she was already there but she knew he'd ask her to meet, but she was with Kai. Suddenly she wondered why was that a problem, Damon and Kai were both her friends then why was she worried. Simple, because she didn't want Damon to think she's interested in Kai.

"Bon, Do you hear me?"

"Uh... Yeah...no! Don't!"

Kai had inscribed her to Miss Carnival and she wanted to punch him hard, suddenly her name was announced and everyone could hear it

"We have another beautiful lady, Bonnie Bennett" it's what everybody heard and Damon frowned. His voice changed.

"Are you here already?"

"Uh... Yeah, I'm , Damon..."

"Where are you? I'm alone and would love to win a Stuffed animal for you"

Her heart melt when she heard him say that, she'd love for him to win a stuffed animal for her

"Sounds cute but...I'm with..."

"Hey, Bunny, see this" that was Kai And Damon recognized his voice

"Ohh.. you are with Kai" he suddenly felt disappointed

Bonnie shut her eyes "yeah, but hey, where can we meet?" Bonnie was avoiding Damon, but the minute she recognized sadness in his voice she felt bad, plus she actually wanted to see him. Screw her own avoiding plan "Damon?"

Bonnie tried her best but he was already hurt.

"Nah, don't worry, have a nice night and good luck with Miss Carnival"

He ended the call and was done with this, he was going home.

"So Bonnie is here" Caroline said

"We should try to find her" Tyler replied

"Or! We could go to the horror house, I already got my stuffed animal" it was a pink Unicorn that Tyler had won for her

"Okay, if you want it so bad then let's go, then when you'd be so afraid that you will want company to sleep, don't call me" he teased

"Oh, so if I got too scared, I can't count on you?" Caroline arched an eyebrow

"I was joking Care, if you feel too scare, I'd be your company and your protector" he said and Caroline smiled big

"My hero"

He hold her hand and payed for the tickets, now they were waiting for their turn but the line was way too long.

Stefan was really surprised by the announcement of Bonnie running up for Miss Carnival, no because she couldn't, actually he felt like she had big chances it was because Bonnie is the shy type, he thought the logical explanation was that Damon talked her into.

"So you know that Bonnie Bennett?" Daniella asked

"Yeah she's a friend of mine, she's really cool you should meet her" he said still carrying the stuffed bear he had won.

"I'd love to, I'm guessing you got that for your girlfriend" Daniella asked pointing at the stuffed animal, she was now wearing a 'Carnaval's Queen' Top, Stefan won it for her

"Uh.. no, well I just wanted to play some games suddenly I had won and I was getting a stuffed animal, but I'm single"

She giggled at his story

"Funny"

"Do you like it?"

"Oh, no, I mean sure it's really cute it has a red tie and all but, I can't it's yours"

"Nonsense, take it, I want to gift it to you" he said with his charming voice and looks and Ella couldn't resist it.

"Thank you, Stefan, you really are making my day" she said already taking the little bear with her hands .

"Let's try to find Bonnie or my big Brother anyways they'd probably are together"

"Oh are they a couple?" Ella asked

"At some points I wonder too"

Both smiled and went looking for Bonnie or Damon, even For Tyler and Caroline they should have been there hours ago.

Seven o'clock and Damon was finding his way out of the Carnival, he wasn't feeling in the mood anymore.

"Did you convince my grand child run up for Miss Carnival?" Suddenly Sheila asked, Damon didn't see her come, he wondered if she was actually a witch.

"No, Actually I haven't seen her, she came with a new friend"

Sheila frowned, a new friend? Who was that? She wanted to know

"Who?"

"Kai, a Kai Parker kid, he apparently can make her change her mind in a bit"

He sounded like a jealous man and it didn't go unnoticed

"Ohhh, and you are leaving ? The Miss Carnival it's in an hour"

"I'm not feeling it okay" he said and tried to make his way

"You take the wrong decisions, you always did and you still do"

"What?" He turned once he heard what she said.

"You are choosing to leave instead of staying and giving your support to your so called friend"

Sheila said and Damon felt cold, this woman was a witch, he knew, damn, He was even feeling goosebumps

"Stay, thank me later" she said and Damon was left there with hundred of questions but the most important was, should he stay?.

So Caroline and Tyler are closer and probably about to take the next step, who'd be the one telling it's feelings first? . Stefan met a new girl, Daniella or Ella, and seems to like her would she be the one? Kai decided to inscribe Bonnie in the Miss Carnival was it a good move? , Damon and Grams had a little chat, would Sheila's words be able to make Damon stay? Or he would just leave? . Please review and let me know what you think.
