"Caroline? You in there?" Jeremy knocked on the door to her room. He heard a frustrated groan. He took that as a very clear sign, and entered.
"I hate everything in my closet."
"I would take you shopping again, but there's no time." He hugged her. She laughed.
"Plus, you always say that." He smirked, amused. She rolled her eyes playfully.
"It's true. Nothing suited for an 'Elena Party'."
"I may or may not have heard Elena say to Amie she was going to wear a short pink dress. Trust me, you can't really go wrong. Anything's better than that." He said, disgusted. She burst out laughing.
"Hmm…okay." She nodded. "Leave for a second."
When he entered again, he couldn't keep away the smile that graced his features.
"You'll knock 'em over." He winked, offering her his arm. She took it, laughing. She was wearing a black dress, skin-tight, with neon green high heels. Her attempt at humor.

"Are you…nervous, Damon?" Stefan asked, in disbelief.
"I don't get nervous, Stefan." Damon replied, staring at himself in the mirror.
"But you do when it's Caroline." He crossed his arms, smiling.
"Oh, leave?" Damon asked, only half pissed, fixing his shirt. Stefan left the room in an amused huff.

"This was a bad idea, I'm going home." Caroline said, while entering the house, but Jeremy wouldn't let go of her arm. And even though she had extra strength, she liked to forget it. So, she relented.
"You're staying. You brought the cake, remember?" He teased. She rolled her eyes.
"Ah yes. Where is the eternally happy couple?" She asked. She needed a distraction.
She found them, snuggling into each other on the front porch.
"Sorry to disturb you, but I don't plan to stay here forever." She smirked, they turned around, Elena looking slightly worried about what Caroline said. Aw, was poor Elena afraid Caroline would find out her boyfriend was a vampire? Please. This was going to be fun.
"Ahaha, well, we won't keep you waiting long. What's up?"
"I just wanted to bring the cake. Oh my god. You guys are going to be together forever." She said with a knowing expression. Elena began to look around awkwardly. Stefan caught onto what she was doing, biting his lip to keep himself from laughing, while Elena's forehead was beginning to bead sweat pearls.
"I know that's such a cliché thing to say, but with you two, I can just tell. Eternal love and all, you know, Elena?" She gushed, laying on the girly girl bit thick. Stefan's face was turning red from holding back the laughter.
"Alright Caroline, what's wrong with you? What do you know?" Elena finally burst out.
"Excuse me? Who staked you?" She asked, amused. Elena's eyes bugged.
"What do you want, to keep quiet?" She offered, seriously. Caroline sighed. Stupid Elena had to ruin her fun.
"Agh, Elena. You're no fun." She pouted, and Stefan burst out laughing, clutching onto Elena for support.
"Elena, relax. Caroline knew before you. She's just messing with you." He said, in fits of laughing.
"Caroline doesn't know anything. She's Caroline." Elena said, slightly offended, scoffing. Caroline chuckled.
"Ah, that's rich." She mused.
"What? Do you think I don't know Damon compelled you, fed on you, and you just didn't care because you were so in love?" Elena teased. Stefan stopped laughing, glaring at Elena. Caroline just cocked her head.
"Oh right. I forgot about that." Caroline laughed. "Is that what he told you, sweetie? What else did he say?"
"He…he…Why are you laughing? Everybody mistreats you, and picks me above you. You should be fuming. Like you always do…" She trailed off.
"I get tired of humoring you, Elena. Everybody does. Enjoy the party." She winked, as she turned around to leave.

Oh God, how he hated having parties in his own house. Compelling students to keep away from the liquor cabinet was a hard thing to do, so he ended up guarding it for half the time. Until she showed up.
"You're not allowed to have the liquor." Damon turned around, eyes ready for compulsion.
"I was hoping I could be an exception. I can't really get wasted on the cheap young people stuff."
"But you are 'young people'. You should drink young people stuff."
"Oh, haha, grandpa." She said, reaching for a bottle. He touched his hand, as if he wanted to keep her away from the cabinet.
"You going to stop me?" She said, amused.
"Uh, yeah. This is my alcohol." He motioned. She cocked her head at him.
"Well then. I guess I'm going to have to fight you for it." She sighed. He scoffed.
"I'm not going to fight you."
"Because you know I can take you?" She wiggled her eyebrows. He hadn't wanted to chuckle, but she looked so mischievous.
"You can't take me, Caroline. Vampire, here." He winked. She bit her lip, amused, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Care to make that an official wager?" She asked. He shrugged.
"Why the hell not? What did you have in mind?"
"Arm-wrestling, obviously." She scoffed. He laughed.
"I'm sorry, how much have you had? You think you can beat me?" He asked.
"Hell yeah. And I'm sober, thank you very much." She said, walking away. He watched her.
"Are you coming or what?" She called for him, when he didn't move. Mesmerized. He then realized, she could hurt him to near death, he'd never stop loving her. She'd have that hold on him forever. Dammit. Sighing, he followed her.
She cleared a table, announcing an arm-wrestling match. Immediately, a crowd gathered around them. She sat down on one side, motioning for Damon to join her.
"And don't you dare go easy on me. Give it your best shot."
"I wouldn't dream of doing anything like that. I like my alcohol very much." He winked. She smiled. Then they lined up their arms.
When Katie Luvich called a drunken go, Caroline used her Demon strength, to smash his hand into the table. Damon gasped.
"Sorry about that. I'll go get my bottle of liquor now, then." She smiled sweetly, standing up. Damon followed her. He needed to talk to her.
She walked away, to the backdoor patio, following into the garden. She could feel he was behind her. She turned around, opening her mouth, the same time he wanted to say something. He bowed out.
"You go first. I'll say mine afterwards."
"I can't stay away from you, Damon." She looked at him, sadly. His mouth gaped open.
"I was going to say the exact same, Caroline." He said, stepping closer.
Damon cupped her cheek.
"I'll give you time to figure things out." He pulled her close, hugging her.
"Thank you." She said, slightly choked.
"I love you." He looked at her, passionately. She smiled.
"And I love you." She said, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.
Damon never wanted this moment to end.
But of course it had to.
Because a bloodstained Elena came running to the porch.
"Someone kidnapped Stefan! They're going to kill him. Damon, help!"
