Amy and Rob had walked through the school. "We've booked a band at the Grill tonight."

"Really?" Amy asked. "So they're doing live entertainment now?"

"Well, business hasn't exactly been…busy." Rob told her.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Amy said.

"So, you in?"

"I don't know. Since the others are kind of down, we thought we'd do a girls' night." Amy told him.

"I understand. It'd be cool if you stopped by, though." Rob told her.

"I'll run it by the others." Amy said. They noticed Matt and Caroline in the hallway. Matt walked away from her.

"Did he just…"

"He totally did." Amy said. "See what I mean? My cousin and the other girls are all having some kind of problem."

"Yeah, I understand. Remember that time I was late for basketball practice?" Rob asked. "I was helping Alex deal with a problem then. He used to get picked on a lot."

"I remember." Amy said.

"Well, this time was especially bad and he needed someone to talk to. He's like my brother, you know." Rob said. "I'll be working tonight, so either way…"

"I know." Amy told him. "Anyway, I'll see you, I guess." She gave him a quick peck before walking off.

Margret got out of Stefan's car as soon as they were parked. Since Jeremy had taken off early, she had to call Elena and Stefan for a ride. "Why is she still here? She was free." Elena said.

"She wants what we want... Klaus's death. Maybe she sees us as her only chance." Stefan said.

"Or maybe she's trying to lure you and Damon back into her web. I want her gone." Elena told him.

"Wait a minute, Katherine got out?" Margret asked. "I thought that tomb was spelled shut."

"Elijah compelled her to stay there and daggering him undid it." Elena explained.

"Okay…" Margret said. "I'm a little slow on the Original vampire thing, but they can compel other vampires, right?" She nodded.

"I don't like this any more than either of you." Stefan said. "But shouldn't we try to figure out why she's staying?"

"How? All she does is lie." Elena pointed out.

"While that's true, she's got a point. We don't know anything about Klaus. She does." Stefan said.

"Right, but that doesn't mean I want her shacking up with you."

"Elena Marie Gilbert, you're jealous." Margret realized. Elena was blushing, and Margret wasn't sure if that was because she revealed her full name to her boyfriend or because she was right.

"Katherine just makes me so angry." Elena said. "I trust the guys, but she is really manipulative."

"Margie, why don't you go on ahead? I've got this."

"Okay. See you later, Lena." Margret headed into the school and found her brother.

"Hey, thanks for ditching me this morning."

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to be there for Bonnie." Jeremy told her. "I'm a little worried about her."

"Who her?" They looked up and saw that Bonnie was next to his locker.

"Hey, are you okay?" Jeremy asked her.

"Still a little freaked." Bonnie said. Jeremy pulled her into his arms.

"Did something happen last night?" Margret asked.

"Dr. Martin took away my magic." Bonnie told her.

"Well, he certainly has a good sense of timing there. Is there any more bad news?" Margret asked.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Jeremy asked.

"He'll explain." Margret said, leaving the group. They didn't even notice that Stefan had been standing there until she pointed it out.

"Margret, there you are!" Melody ran over to her.

"Hey, Melody."

"So, how was your date?"

"Is everyone going to press me on that?" Margret wondered.

"Oh, come on. How'd it go?" Melody asked.

"It was pretty good. I had a family crisis in the middle of it, but he was nice about it."

"You two should so end up together." Melody told her.

"I don't know. Hey, are you and Amy still coming over?"

"You know we wouldn't miss girls night." Melody said. The bell rang. "See you later."

That night, the six of them were hanging out in the kitchen. "Chinese food or pizza?" Caroline asked.

"Like you have to ask." Elena pointed out.

"I will get it." Caroline took out her phone, then noticed a picture of her with Matt.

"I'll do it." Bonnie said.

"So, you two fighting again?" Amy asked.

"Yeah."

"You know, maybe you're better off without him, Care." Melody said. "I mean, look at me. I don't have a boyfriend and I couldn't be happier."

"True, but you're a bit of a tomboy." Margret pointed out. "Besides, I'm just confused about the whole thing with Alex."

"Well, what are we going to do about this movie situation?" Caroline asked the group. "What about "The Notebook"?"

"Caroline, how many times have you seen that movie?" Elena pointed out.

"That is so not the point."

"I don't think watching a chick flick is going to get our minds off our problems." Amy said.

"Hey, at least it's better than Twilight." Care pointed out.

"What about that Honey movie?" Melody suggested.

"You're still obsessed with that one?" Margret asked, surprised. Jenna walked in then

"What's going on?" She asked them.

"Girls' night." Elena said. "How are you doing?"

"You heard about my fight with Ric." Jenna said.

"He feels terrible." Elena said. The girls looked at Margret. She signed that this was not a good time to explain and they nodded.

"Is this some kind of disguised attempt to cheer me up?"

"No. No, this is about us girls hanging out and you know, we'll be here if you happen to want to talk, or..." Elena explained.

"Because I am a winner when it comes to successful relationships." Caroline said.

"You, too?" Jenna asked.

"You have no idea."

"Hey, you'll be okay, Care." Amy said.

"It's this whole Isobel thing. He's hiding something from me."

"To play devil's advocate, maybe there is a great reason why he's not telling you." Caroline said. "Maybe he is just trying to protect you."

"She's right, you know." Margret said. "I mean, sometimes we have to hide things to protect people we care about." Elena looked over at her, understanding.

"Well, that's not his call to make. I mean, I deserve the truth. Everybody does." Jenna said.

"Sometimes it's harder than that."

"Not if it's somebody you care about, it isn't."

"If I remember, didn't you hide our family history from Elena?" Margret intervened. "I'm just saying, no one's innocent. We've all hidden secrets from each other before." Melody and Amy nodded in agreement.

"You know what we need? Dancing. There is a band at the grill." Caroline said.

"I'm in." Bonnie said. Everyone else agreed, so they all headed for the Grill.

By the time they got there, it was still pretty crowded. "Wow, this place looks awesome." Melody said.

"I need a drink." Jenna left the group.

"That was weird." Amy said. "Speaking of…" Matt was near the group.

"Hey, Matt." He avoided Caroline and went back to work.

"Things just got real awkward." Bonnie said.

"No kidding. What's that all about, anyway?" Amy asked.

"He thinks that she's into someone else and apparently, she's been sending some mixed messages." The group turned. Rob had shown up while they were talking and Alex was right next to him.

"Yeah, but obviously Care still has feelings for Matt." Amy said.

"This is just too much drama." Melody said. "I thought the point of this was to forget about boy problems."

"Mel, problems don't just go away." Margret pointed out. "If you don't deal with them…"

"Then how do you get anywhere in life?" Alex finished. She looked at him, surprised he said exactly what she was thinking.

"He said the ball's in your court." Bonnie pointed out, after catching Caroline glance at Matt again.

"Yeah, but I can't do anything about it." Caroline said.

"Why not? All you do is talk about how much you care about him."

"And if you don't do something, you're going to lose him." Amy added.

"Yeah, but I am still keeping so many secrets." Caroline admitted. "And I'd lose him even if I did tell them."

"Alaric's in the same boat with Jenna and maybe that's our mistake." Elena said. "We're trying to protect the people that we love by keeping them out of it, but in the end, we're hurting them anyway."

"Yeah, but at least we can blame that one situation on our uncle." Margret said. Elena looked at her. "I have a feeling he's the reason they're fighting." She whispered to her. The next thing she knew, she was holding Caroline's jacket.

"What are you doing?" Elena asked. Caroline headed to the stage and took the microphone.

"Hey, everybody. Let's hear it for the band! Weren't they awesome?"

"What in the world is she doing?" Amy asked.

"She's your cousin, can't you do something?"

"Once she plans something, that's usually it." Amy said. "It's so hard to tell what she'll do sometimes."

"So there's this guy. And, uh, he told me to tell him how I feel about him. Like it's so easy." Caroline was saying.

"Has she lost it?"

"No, she just wants to get this sorted out once and for all." Margret said. "I mean, who wouldn't. After everything she's been through in the last few weeks." When she looked back at the stage, Caroline was talking to one of the band members.

Then she started singing. Everyone else just looked at her. Matt looked over at Rob, who practically had to push him to go to her. "He really needs to learn to take a hint." Rob said.

"No kidding." Margret said. Then she noticed she was holding Alex's hand. She dropped it in surprise, not realizing she'd grabbed it while Care was on stage.

"Wow, you're cousin is really good."

"Her first career dream was to be a rock star." Amy pointed out.

"Well, she can sing back-up for me anytime." Melody said.

A few minutes later, the group sat at a table together. "I'm glad that they're back together. When Care starts moping, it's not pretty." Amy said.

"Yeah, I just hope they don't spend forever in there." Rob said. "We've still got a shift to finish."

"Speaking of happy couples," Melody began. Margret hoped she wouldn't ask about her and Alex again. "What's up with Bonnie and your brother?"

"Well, he's had it bad for her for a while now." Margret told them. "Between us, I think she may have been crushing on him, too."

"Wow." Melody said. "So, they're really happy?"

"Seems that way." Margret said.

"I think it's great they're together." Alex said. "Jeremy's a nice guy."

"Not to mention the last guy she went out with was a jerk." Margret said.

"Yeah, we could all use a nice guy like that." Melody said.

"This coming from Miss Feminsim?" Amy teased.

"I'm just saying, I'm not ready for a relationship right now." Melody told them. "But when I am, I hope I have a nice boyfriend like you two." Everyone else was blushing by now.

"Somehow, I've always known you were a romantic deep down." Rob told her.

"Shut up, Robbie." Melody said, playfully punching her brother in the arm.

Suddenly, the lights started flickering. Margret looked around. She saw Bonnie talking with Dr. Martin, who looked furious. She didn't see Elena anywhere. All she knew was they had to get out of there.

Then, the lights broke. "Whoa, what is happening?" Amy asked. The bar caught fire.

"We have to get out of here!" Margret called over the roar of the flames.

The five of them rushed out of the Grill. "Amy, you come with us." Melody said. "We'll drop you at your place."

"I'll take Margret home." Alex said.

"Okay."

Alex drove back to Margret's house. As soon as he pulled up to the driveway, he turned to her. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. We all got out of there safely." Margret pointed out.

"That was crazy."

"Maybe the Grill needs a sprinkler system or a fire alarm." Margret said. "I better check and make sure Elena and the others got out safe."

"Hey, be careful." Alex said.

"No problem." Margret told him. She got out of the car.

When she entered the house, she found most of the group at the bottom of the stairway. "Everything's taken care of." Stefan told them.

"What the heck happened in there?" Margret asked.

"Margret, thank goodness. For a second, I thought you didn't make it out." Elena embraced her.

"Easy, sis." Margret said. "We all escaped when the Grill caught fire. My boyfriend drove me home."

"Sorry to interrupt the moment, but I'm guessing you're going to want this back." Katherine handed Elena her necklace. "Your pretty little outfit is going to need a good dry clean."

Elena turned to the guys. "You're going to have to get her out of here before Jenna gets home."

"Is that all you have to say to me?"

"This doesn't change the way I feel about you." Elena told her.

"I don't like you, either, if we're going to be open and frankly, I'd be happy to see you dead but if we're going to try to take on Klaus, we kinda need you to be alive." Katherine pointed out. "So I'm not a threat to you, Elena. If any of you are going to believe anything, believe that." She left the house.

"She helped you guys?"

"It's a long story." Damon told her.

"You guys can tell me tomorrow. I'm going to bed." Margret told them. "It's been a really long day."

She went upstairs. She saw the lights in her brother's room flicker. Not sure what was going on, she decided to go inside. "Whoa, what's going on?" She asked.

"I got my powers back." Bonnie told her.

"Wow." Margret said. "That's amazing."

"It happened during the fight." Jeremy told her. "He grabbed her and her powers returned. She also knows how to take care of the Klaus problem."

"Thank goodness." Margret said. "I just hope this puts an end to all the drama around here." She left the room.
