New Orleans

(Klaus POV)

I was with Kara. She and I were talking and right now she was talking about me staying over at her place tonight. I delightfully agreed. She was happy that I did and now we were just having small talk. Like about Van, his name is Van right?, and his school grades.

"I think he needs a mentor, maybe when you come over you could help him while I cook dinner?" I gave her a gentle smile.

"Of course Kara. I would love to help him with his homework or what ever he needs help with. I'm just glad the kid likes me now." She smiled back at me.

"Again, I'm sorry-"

"No need to be sorry Kara. Some kids just can't handle their beautiful mother having a relationship with other men who aren't their dad. It's worse since he's a witch and I am a vampire. I'm even used to it." She placed her mouth on mine and I sensually kissed her back but before I could get too deep into the emotion she backed off.

"I'm sorry, I need to get to work." I smiled at her.

"Fine with me, have a good day at work my love."

(Tyler POV)

I had heard from Kol that we were all going to have fun today so I had taken the liberty of washing last night and had now gotten dressed. I realize I don't know what we're doing today. So I sat on the couch playing Uno with Kai and Jeremy. Bonnie and Elena were in the kitchen with Lily Salvatore. She's the mother of Damon and Stefan Salvatore. Enzo, Damon, and Stefan were cleaning the table from today's breakfast.

"I hope you kids are ready to go. We're going to watch a movie and then go out for nachos and snow cones." Lily said, smiling at us. I smiled back, I was really looking forward to watching one of the movies that had just come into the movie theater.

While we were all in Lily's car, Lily driving with Stefan in shot gun, we talked about which movies we'd be seeing. Lily wanted to see that movie that kind of came out yesterday I think, the one about America.

"Mom, that movie isn't… it's too… Stefan, you tell her." Damon said, clearly he couldn't find the right words for what he wanted to say.

"Since it's not rated R, he probably means that movie is too violent."

"Don't you dare undermine me Stefan!" Damon scolded. I put my fist to my mouth and coughed out a laugh. Damon and Stefan looked at me. I ignored them. "Shut up Lockwolf."

"You shut up!" I replied. Kol chuckled.

"Mikaelsons for the win!" He thrust his hand in the air.

"Really?" Damon asked. "Would you like to watch a movie or not?"

"You know this can only go two ways Damon." Kol replied. "We can watch a movie anyway or you could keep us from a movie and one of you gets punished too, what you think of that?"

"What I think is that being an Original damn cocky attitude."

"Should we call Klaus?" Stefan asked. I blushed, chuckling nervously. Kol just blinked.

"Stop this fighting! Today is supposed to be a family day!" Lily said, amazingly stern. I didn't know she could get like that. I've never heard her like that. Damon gave Kol one last warning look before turning back around.

"So if Jeremy and Tyler can't watch it then what do you think they should watch?"

"Something else."

"Earth to Echo!" I called.

"Seconded!" Kol declared, raising his hand in the air.

"Sure why not." Jeremy said absentmindedly as he stared at Bonnie.

"I'll go with them." Kai replied.

…

We were in the movie theatre and it was so far this movie was awesome! I envied his parents they didn't care what he did! Although granted they weren't even listening… and not that I have problems. Jeremy seems to have it worse off than I do.

This is probably a suspenseful movie. It's amazing. The little alien dude needed their help to rebuild a rocket or something but I saw only one problem with that. Their parents and money… okay make that two problems. That thing- Echo was adorable but it's sad that he's hurt. I guess it makes sense though since he crashed…

I guess I'm lucky I have a dad who's willing to break the law to get what he wants… and what his family wants, including Marcel and me. Marcel my brother. It's so weird to have a brother when you're so used to being an only child. I know I'm a hybrid but I'm happy I don't have to do what their doing though I would gladly do what their doing for my friends. Though something I've noticed is that Dad has put this horrible idea in my subconscious, or I would like it to be there and I don't suddenly think it's an okay thing to do, that it is okay to kill people. Which is what I found myself thinking about the people who were the bad guy.

I love this movie. Especially the ending. It spoke a lot to me. Even though I live in New Orleans and Jeremy and Kai live in Mystic Falls, we'll be friends no matter what. At least I'll always have Kol. He lives with me. In fact he's part of my family.

…

We were eating snow cones and hot nachos. It was great until Kai was what Damon called Kainess. I didn't think you could make up your own words like that. We had been sitting at a table and eating happily until Kai smirked and picked up his own and hurled it straight at Damon.

"Food fight." At least for Damon he'd ate most of his nachos. There was only cheese left. It splattered on Damon's coat. Damon had ate his already. He jumped when he noticed his jacket and he glared right up at Kai. He grabbed Kai by his ear and dragged him back to the car where my hybrid hearing picked up the swats and voices though I tried hard not to listen in.

"Really Kai?"

"What? Are food fights illegal?" SWAT!

"You messed up my jacket!"

"Don't worry I'm sure the cheese will wash right out." SWAT!

"That isn't the point Kai!"

"Is the point that you want me to apologize? Cause I can do that." SWAT! "Ow." Damon started a steady rhythm of swats on Kai.

"We're going to keep this up until either they finish eating or you say that without sarcasm." There was some rustling between the two of them and the swats continued from there.

"Is violence your answer for everything?"

"What if we keep going until you run out of sarcasm all together."

"Hmm. Well let's see how that would go. Owch. If you- OW!" More rustling.

"Kai, the best solution for you right now is to either apologize without the sarcasm or stay quiet!" There was a rather vicious swat and I felt myself cringe.

"What's wrong Tyler?" Elena asked.

"Bit too hard on a nacho, nothing major."

"Did you bite yourself?" Jeremy asked, laughing.

"No." I smirked back at him. I could tell Kol was glaring at his nachos, no one else seemed to either notice or care. "Kol?" He quickly grinned like an idiot.

"Waddup?"

"You okay?"

"Totally. I'm an Original, why wouldn't I be okay? Nothing can kill an Original, Aunt Dahlia destroyed the white oak. Don't try anything Elena." She rolled her eyes at him. "Nik already-"

"Okay let's move on!" Jeremy said quickly. "What nice weather we're having aren't we?" I nodded.

"Very nice indeed."

"It's so sunny and there's some clouds in the sky."

"With a slight breeze to the West." Kol smirked.

"And not a scent of blood in the air… unless you count-"

"Shut up Kol!" Bonnie and Elena shouted.

"Hey! Leave him alone." I said, defending my Uncle… friend… whatever he is… I heard Kai and Damon return. Kai looked only a little somber. Otherwise he was smiling.

"I see you take after your father." Lily said looking at Damon. Stefan quickly got Damon's attention before Damon could react to Lily.

…

We were at the mall now and Kai was back to his usual self. Which I was happy about. It was hard to ruin both Kai and Kol's moods. And easy to have Dad's emotions out of control but that's different. We were walking around the mall and Damon had us go into every store he found interesting. He had ended up taking us home to get his jacket in the washing machine and put on a different, identical jacket.

Speaking of stores, though, Lily had us actually shopping and Damon was groaning about how much money they were using compared to the amount of bags we were all carrying. Stefan told him that it would help with the weight loss thing and Damon rolled his eyes.

"Just as long as we don't go over our imaginary budget." He said.
