Mystic Falls

(Klaus POV)

Caroline had texted me yesterday. While I was pleased, I was also reminded that she would be another displeased person if she learned what I had planned for my new 'lover'. Yes. Kara was in love with me and she had taken the vacation to Chicago I had bought her. She'd leave her oldest son at home to keep an eye on the restaurant.

About Elijah and Katerina's wedding… Everything was under control. I'd bought tickets for a round trip from wherever Mikael, Esther, and Freya… and Dahlia I think… went, I can't really remember… because I don't care, back to New Orleans and then back to where they were. They were first class tickets as well. Despite the fact I don't like them as much as my other family members, they were still Mikaelsons and are to be treated with respect from the lesser beings.

The other things I had already started planning. Everything was to happen at the Saint Anne's church. Kieran had already given me permission and I had already given my kingly decree that he would suffer if he wasn't the priest who took care of the wedding vows of Elijah and Katerina. Of course he would have probably done so either way but I wanted to forbid any other priest from taking the job. So that was what I was doing today. I was going to decorate the church for their wedding and then I would be sending out invitations to everyone I deemed worthy to attend. Like Jackson, Father, Sophie, Kieran, Marcel, Davina, and myself. Every leader of the factions. Even if some of us were already coming anyway. All I had to do was keep it a secret from Elijah and Katerina. Which was easy enough as long as I didn't cause any trouble and by the end of the wedding, I will be free to reign down any terror I see fit.

(Elena POV)

I was in Damon's bedroom, with Damon. We were kissing and Damon was quickly removing our clothes. I smiled at him and threw us on his bed. He chuckled as he wrapped his hands in my hair. I moved my hands down to his belt to try to undo the buckle without breaking the kiss… but something broke us apart first.

"Well isn't this sight lovely?" I gasped and hid under Damon's covers. I had already had my shirt and bra ripped off by Damon. Damon had his shirt off as well… I looked over to see who had interrupted. "Don't stop on my account, I was enjoying myself." Enzo. I scoffed, blushing, and turned away from him. Damon was nice and used his body to block mine from Enzo's sight.

"What in the hell do you want Enzo? And why didn't you knock?"

"I did, three times in fact. I was never answered. You do realize there is a beautiful girl downstairs knocking on your door right? Everyone's trying to answer it but I keep stopping them. You are the master of the house, you should answer it." Enzo said.

"Let me guess. Lily." Damon growled. Enzo must have nodded. "That woman is always being a pain." I slapped his arm. "Ow." Damon looked down at me, smirking. "And what was that for?"

"Lily is your mom! Show some respect please." Damon's smirk widened.

"So you have no complaints about me being the 'master of the house'?" I giggled before hiding under the covers.

"Make him go away so I can get dressed please?" I asked. Damon got off the bed and stomped over to Enzo. I peeked out and saw Enzo give a smirk of his own before vamping out of the room.

"No need to be rash Damon!" He called. "Hurry up! Lily's getting impatient!"

"Damon Salvatore, you come down here right now! The front door needs answering!" Lily called. She really did sound like a mother. Damon vamped around the room, changing out of yesterday's clothes. I got up and dressed too. We walked down the stairs and headed for the door. Well I would have if Enzo didn't get in my way.

"Sorry sweetheart but you're not Damon." I glared at him.

"I don't recall you having any authority in this house."

"That's because I earned it. Lily likes me and asks me to do many things. Including making Damon answer the door. Now sit down like a nice lady and pretend you've been down here already. It's 8 in the morning for God's sake." He said, exasperated.

"You can come sit down by me!" Bonnie called. I smiled and walked over to Bonnie, sitting down beside her. Enzo vamped over and sat down by Lily.

"Would anyone like some tea?" Lily asked, picking up a pot of tea.

"Guess who's back from college!" Caroline shouted. I jumped from my seat and ran to see her, followed swiftly by Bonnie. We hugged her.

"Caroline! It's so nice to see you again! How was it? Did you pass? Please tell me you were getting enough sleep!"

"Did you see any boys you liked?" Bonnie asked. We giggled and I nodded.

"Did you get a boyfriend perhaps?" It's so strange that Care was the only one of us who were not dating. She was all into boys and she was always dating before us. I had Damon and Bonnie had Jeremy. I don't know why Care doesn't have a boyfriend. She had Tyler once upon a time but Tyler broke up with her. To go kill Klaus. I'm just glad Tyler's back with us. I've been so worried that Tyler was dead… oh my gosh! I hope it's not awkward!

"Caroline, before you come in, you should know something." I said hesitantly. She smiled at me.

"What is it Elena?" I looked at Bonnie. She was confused but I gave her a meaningful look. Then she understood.

"Guess who's here?" Bonnie said, trying to lighten the mood. Caroline blushed.

"W-who is it?"

"His name starts with T and ends with ler." She went rigged. Uh oh.

"Tyler?" She asked.

"Just come see for yourself." We pleaded. "He's changed, really he has." We led her to the living room where everyone was, including Damon. She froze up when she saw Tyler. Tyler also froze. They stared at each other for a long minute. Then Caroline smiled at him.

"Hello Tyler." She said, then turning to everyone she said hello too. Tyler sighed, probably in relief.

"Hello Caroline." Tyler said and everyone else said hello back. I beamed with delight and Damon caught my eye with a smirk and raise of his brow.

"Welcome home Caroline." Damon said. "As the master of the house, shall I catch you up on everything that's happened? Let's all have some tea. Or coffee if you prefer. Mother's obsessed with tea. As you will learn." Lily beamed at Damon, clearly she approved. Stefan was smiling at Damon. He was probably happy too, that Damon was trying to act like a family with Lily. Stefan had it easy. He already loved Lily like nothing had ever changed between them. Damon had a harder time. I know because how he started the whole thing the beginning of this summer.

"Um… thank you I guess?" Care said, sitting down as Lily poured her a cup of tea. We really had a lot to catch up on. Like why Kai, Tyler, and Kol are here.
