Mystic Falls

(Damon POV)

"Hey Damon! Guess what?" Elena said, it was still early in the morning. Like six o'clock early. The sun wasn't up yet. I yawned, opening my eyes a bit to look at her.

"What?"

"Jeremy's coming back tomorrow. Or today. I forgot when their coming back." I opened my eyes wider. You mean I'm going to start having to put up with Kai again? And Kol? And Tyler? Jeremy wasn't as bad as the others. If I had to pick my least favourite it would have to be Kai or Kol. Probably Kol. I groaned before cursing.

"Damn it! I have get ready for today. I'm supposed to have already gotten Mother ready for her driver's test. She's supposed to have a car. She knows how to drive it now you know." She nodded.

"That's why I made sure to wake you extra early Damon. I know you hate waking early but what needs to be done needs to be done."

"You say that and you remind me of my father." I grumbled.

"I'm sorry Damon. I don't mean to. If I remember, you didn't like him?"

"More like he didn't like me. The worst bit was when I liked Katherine. I was rebellious. More so than I had ever been. I should have let Father kill her."

"You didn't know Damon. I'm glad you didn't though. If you had we would never have met."

"Actually I'm pretty sure we would have." I washed and made myself as 'presentable' as possible before dressing in my black jeans and black shirt and putting on my black jacket to go wake Mother. I walked into her room after knocking twice. "Wake up! You have a test today and I will be rooting for you." I threw my fist in the air in a mock cheer.

(Klaus POV)

I knew that I had two days left with the kids. I knew I had one day until I learned if I needed to compel Tim to be accepted as an artist, I mean bloody hell if they decide he has no talent. If I say someone has talent then they have talent. I am not one of those idiots who compliments everyone. I had three days until I had my initiation ritual with my father. I had two weeks to plan Elijah's and Katerina's wedding. I three weeks at best until I had to get my plans completed. Why do I never get any rest? I'm sure I could if only I allowed it.

As it was, I was going to go see Davina and see if she had told Marcel that she was pregnant. I am running out of patience with her on this subject. Not to mention I hardly had any patience with things I wanted in the first place. The real reason I had let the kids go off and do whatever might please them is because I had other things to do than to watch a bunch of kids. Even if the entire city were basically telling me everything they did anyway. Or at least the things they are not allowed to do. I still remember the crossbow incident. That was hilarious even if Elijah did not agree. Elijah seems to not have the same type of humour that I do.

(Kol POV)

Batkid Begins Already I can tell you that this movie is different from the ones we have watched before. I hope it is just as interesting. Leukaemia! No jokes then I suppose. Yep, no jokes. Batkid Batikid! Batkid Batkid! Make A Wish. I think the kids dead… I'm so glad Marcel was alive. He had a sickness once but Niky healed him. First love. Peter Pan! I've never lost a kid. I've never had a kid. I've lost a brother… It just made sense to make New York city into Gotham. Penguin! Yoda! Darth Vader! Star Wars! Yay! I couldn't help but smile. Everyone in the world! Wow, news reporters. Sheer adrenaline. Like sheer dumb luck. Perfect! Yay! I was sitting on the edge of my seat in excitement. No media! We're going to watch him do his thing. I love this movie. Don't take no for an answer. Got it! Even if it's Nik who says no?

(Kai POV)

I want to try to push him to his limit but I can't make it obvious because the last times I did that he just talked it out with me. No smacking, just a lecture or scolding. I need ideas. What pisses Klaus off the most? I could hurt Marcel Mikaelson. That would piss him off. Though that would piss off the whole family. I said hurt, not try to murder.

Actually, that brings up a brilliant plan! I could kill someone and point my finger at Marcel and leave only one piece of evidence that makes it clear that it was me instead. Now how to go about doing it. I'd had a talk earlier today, like I do every day, with Klaus but this time we were just talking about anything and everything that came to mind for twenty minutes.

It's too bad I don't have my magic. Or any magic for that matter. I cursed Damon for taking away my powers. I had so much potential and then it was all stripped away. I couldn't dwell on it right now. I would put that plan into action tomorrow. It would be huge and a going away present. After it he wouldn't want me around as much as Damon didn't want me around. I walked over to Marcel.

"Hey I was thinking about you and the city. Didn't this place used to be yours?"

"Yeah but it was originally Klaus' city. He built it… kind of."

"Did you ever sign documents of peace or war?"

"Yeah, I did. Why?" I pulled out a piece of paper and a pen.

"I was hoping I'd be able to get the best king's signature. I thought that might be yours." He smiled.

"Why do you want my signature?"

"To prove to people that I met one of the most powerful men in the world?" He signed the paper and even wrote in print, a note that complimented me. I smiled when I saw someone else come in. It was Thierry, one of Tyler's friends. "Look, I got his signature." Now all I needed to do was practice forging his letters.

(Tyler POV)

The Remote, we've seen this one. The Colossus. We saw this one but it's funny because Hector's a sheltered child… okay. Not that funny. We're not going to be able to finish Total Drama Island before the month was over. We could just watch two more and the last three tomorrow. The coconut got kicked off. You don't look in a toilet for a princess. Their making a mess. I already know this is going to go wrong. I'm worried about watching this one. Hide and burn the house down. In the end they were happy to learn Jake was a dog. 'Finn you're delicious.' I chuckled at that.

(Jeremy POV)

Tonight we were all sleeping in the same room but we were sleeping in different beds. Thankfully. I didn't know if I could sleep with someone else in the same bed as me again. I closed my eyes and thought about what had happened during this entire month. I think tomorrow or the next day we were going back to Mystic Falls. We would be leaving the Original family and going back to Damon. I was happy to have Kol and Tyler coming back to Mystic Falls but I was hesitant to take Kai back but I don't think I have I have choice in the matter because Damon and Klaus seem to be calling all the shots right now.

(Damon POV)

Mother had gotten her driver's license and we had to wait until Wednesday to get her a car because I wanted to show Stefan that I had succeeded. I had succeeded and I know this because when I made a snide remark at the salesman Lily scolded me.

"Damon! How could you say that to him? He's a nice man. You apologize this instant." I had narrowed my eyes at her. Elena, Bonnie, and Enzo were watching me and I opened my mouth to give her a snide remark as well but then I saw that look. The one she had always given to us when we were misbehaving. My mother was an older vampire than I was so I had rolled my eyes before I had rolled my head back over to the salesman.

"Sorry."

"Like you mean it Damon Salvatore." I grinned.

"I'm sorry for being rude sir."

Enzo was just smirking at me for the rest of the day. I wanted to punch that smirk right off his face but I didn't because I knew it was all in good fun. I was in my bed right now and I rolled over to go to sleep. I didn't want to know what might have passed through my Mother's mind if she had indeed decided it was worthy to discipline me. Damn. It's like when I was a kid and had worry about my behaviour. I've never had to do that in a long time unless it was with Stefan and still I knew the only thing he would do is give me a disappointed look and try to kick me out of his life and eventually drag me back in.
