A/N: I just want to apologize for not updating in so long. Finals have been over, but writer's block for this story came out of nowhere. But now I 'm back, and I hope you guys will continue to read this story. All of your reviews mean so much to me and I hope I haven't lost you all.

Bonnie's eyes shot open as she immediately set up and looked around. She noticed she wasn't in her house anymore, but outside in a place that was unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. She stood up and looked down at the dress she was wearing. The same dress she was wearing in the dream she shared with Damon in 1864.

But she didn't remember falling asleep.

"Bonnie?" She heard a voice she knew too well call her name.

She turned around to see Caroline, in similar attire, with a confused look on her face, "Where the hell are we?"

"I'd like to know the same thing," A familiar male voice said from behind them, making Bonnie slowly turn around, hoping she was imagining things.

She wasn't, because she was now staring into the eyes of Damon and Stefan Salvatore, who were dressed in suits from 1864. Damon's hair was curly and Stefan's hair was a bit straighter from his usual spiky do.

Everyone was staring at her, and honestly, she couldn't give them a reason. The last thing she remembered was trying to get her powers back with Caroline and then everything went dark. But the fact that she still didn't have her powers and now they were all in 1864 was a mystery to her.

How did this happen? She thought.

"Ah, Stefan, Damon, I've been looking for you two everywhere."

They all turned to the voice that was only familiar to Damon and Stefan.

Giuseppe Salvatore.

Damon and Stefan were at a loss of words to say anything at the moment. They were both staring at the man they haven't laid eyes on in more than a century. The man whose life was ended by Stefan and the man that Damon never felt love from.

"And who are your lovely guest?" He said, now looking at Bonnie and Caroline. Bonnie was a little unsure of how to feel at the moment. In this time she knew that she was judged because of the color of her skin.

But to her surprise Giuseppe grabbed her hand gently and kissed it, as well as Caroline's. They both couldn't help but blush, never receiving a gesture like that before, but was quickly pulled back to reality, or whatever it was, by Damon making a coughing noise.

Ignoring Damon's interruption, Caroline smiled and said, "Caroline F-" Bonnie nudged her before she could say her last name, "Fitz…Caroline Fitz and this is my best friend, Bonnie Benjamin."

Bonnie made a disgusted face that was only missed by Giuseppe. 'Bonnie Benjamin?' she thought to herself, making a mental note to talk to Caroline later.

"You two will be joining us for the Lockwood Founder's Ball tonight, I hope?" Before Giuseppe led them into the house, he remembered why he came outside in the first place. He turned around to Damon and Stefan, "Miss Katherine would like to see you both in her quarters."

Bonnie glanced briefly at Damon, but then smiled back to Giuseppe as he led her and Caroline into the Salvatore Mansion.

Damon cursed under his breath, and before he could say anything aloud, Stefan said, "Bonnie must have cast a spell."

Damon rolled his eyes, "Whatever gave you that idea?" Sarcasm dripping from his voice.

Stefan ignored his comment, "But what I don't understand is why she would bring us all here."

Damon couldn't help but wondered the same thing, because the last time he saw her in that outfit is when he was pulling it off in their shared dream.

And the fact that Katherine was already here in this time, meant that many things were about to happen, that they tried so hard in forgetting.

Damon couldn't help but smirk, "If my memory serves correctly, this is the around the time where Katherine picked you to escort her to the ball."

"And if my memory serves correctly, you not to long ago kissed Elena," Stefan was now referring to the present, "So, I guess it doesn't really matter does it?" And then he walked away, leaving Damon alone.

Damon wasn't that surprised that Elena told Stefan about the kiss they shared, but Elena was the furthest thing on his mind right now. Right now he needed to have a conversation with his little witch, and find out just what in the hell was going on.

"Honestly Bonnie, whatever is going on, I'm not really going to complain about it." Caroline said to her best friend, as she went through some of the items in the guest room Giuseppe let the girls stay in. He was going to let them stay in separate ones, but they insisted on staying together.

Bonnie was looking out the window, and faced her friend when she said that last comment, "It is nice isn't it." She said, agreeing with her. Giuseppe had given the girls the tour of the house and land and even though it looked the same, it was still different. Mr. Salvatore was very nice and welcoming even though they all just met.

But even though they were feeling quite at peace, they couldn't hide the fact that this wasn't right. They were in a different time, and they needed to get back before things changed and affected their present.

"So, I wonder how the Founder's Ball is going to be tonight. Think we'll meet any eligible bachelors." Caroline smiled, and flopped down on the bed.

"Caroline, as nice as this is, you know we to figure out what is going on, and get back to…"

A hard knock at the door interrupted Bonnie, and as she was about to open the door, Damon beat her too it. "What the hell is going on little witch?" He yelled, as he barged into their room, with Stefan casually walking in behind him.

Bonnie smiled a little at Stefan, but rolled her eyes at Damon for yelling and calling her little witch.

"Whatever spell you cast, fix it." It was harder than anyone knew for Damon to hold that tone with Bonnie. Right now he was still trying to figure out what he was feeling for the little witch beyond lust, but he didn't want anyone else figuring out before him. Like his know-it-all brother.

"Why, so you can hurry up and get back to Elena?" Caroline decided to say, getting off the bed and standing beside Bonnie. She then glanced at Stefan, "Sorry, Stefan."

"Don't forget Blondie that I can kill you." He glared.

"I'd like to see you try," Caroline glared back; her new found confidence from being a vampire was not missed among any of them.

Someone clearing their throat, made all of them look towards the open door.

It was Emily Bennett. Bonnie's most powerful ancestor.

She was holding on a bunch of dresses that Stefan instantly took and laid down on the bed, "Thank you, Stefan." She smiled, "Long time no see."

"Hello Emily," He said very politely.

Emily then looked over to Damon, who was glaring at her, and she returned his hostility, "Damon."

"Emily."

Caroline quickly grabbed Emily into a hug, "It's so nice to meet you, I've heard so much about you."

Emily couldn't help but smile at Caroline's bubbly personality. Then she looked at Bonnie, and grabbed her hands, "You've been through a lot in the past couple months, and for that I am sorry." She then pulled her into a hug. It had been awhile since Bonnie was in the arms of a relative, and she had to try her best not to break down and cry. She didn't want Damon of all people to see that side of her again. She knew that she and Emily would talk later, so for now she was able to hold it together.

It took well over an hour for Emily to explain everything to them. Coming to find out that in this time, each of them were human, so Bonnie was not a witch, and Caroline, Stefan, and Damon were not vampires. It shocked them that they hadn't even realized it until Emily informed them.

They were in this time because they needed to find out some valuable information for the present. It was just suppose to be Bonnie, but when she performed the spell, Damon, Caroline, and Stefan entered her mind at the exact time, and one thing led to another. In the present it looked as if Caroline and Bonnie were sleeping in Bonnie's room. Stefan was in his room, and Damon was on the couch in the Salvatore mansion.

"So, you're saying we're dreaming?" Caroline asked. A question that they all were wondering.

"In a sense yes, but no at the same time." She explained that this is a dream that cannot be controlled and can only be awaken from when they find out the information they are suppose too; along with a spell that Emily needs to perform. Damon wanted to know why couldn't Emily tell them, but she didn't answer him. Bonnie would make sure that when she was alone with Emily she would ask her later.

"I do have a question?" Bonnie asked, and Emily looked at her, "Why is that I am able to walk around and be treated like royalty. I thought in this time…"

"Trust me, I knew you were coming," Emily said, knowing what she was going to say next, "And I performed just a little spell, where you are exempt from it. But it will only last for the amount of time that you are here."

Damon was about to say something, but Emily cut him off, "Now, the Founder's Ball is tonight, so you all must get ready."

"Emily wait…" Bonnie said, wanting to talk more, but Emily just smiled sweetly, and walked out. Bonnie felt a bit defeated. She knew she was going to try to talk to Emily later, but she wasn't sure what she was suppose to find out that was so important to them in the present. She wasn't even sure how long they would be here, and if someone would notice from their present. Emily didn't share that bit of information.

"So, what should we do now?" Caroline asked, looking at her friends and Damon, who all seemed to be lost in thought.

Stefan was the first to speak up, "I guess we should attend the Founder's Ball."

They all looked at him, and was a bit surprised at his answer, "If we don't go, people we get suspicious, and by us going we may find out the information we are suppose too." He suggested this not only because of the reasons he gave them, but to keep his mind off of Elena. Even though he gave her some time to think things through, he couldn't help but be worried about her. He had no idea how long they were going to be here, and with Klaus looking for her, and not being sure if they could trust Elijah, he wasn't able to keep her safe.

In the end they all agreed with Stefan, and when the men exited the room, Caroline looked at the dresses that Emily brought in, and began to go through them. Her demeanor was that of excitement, and Bonnie wasn't quite sure how she could be so calm through it all.

"Caroline, we really need to find a way to get back," Bonnie walked over to her friend, as she looked through the many dresses.

"And we're going to, Bons," she paused for moment; unsure if she should tell Bonnie why she wasn't so affected by everything that happened, "Look, this time…this place, it's really beautiful. And….I miss being human...not having to crave human blood. I mean the strength was great, but Bonnie…I miss it." A small tear escaped her eyes.

Bonnie understood where Caroline was coming from. Even though Bonnie had become dependent on her magic, before the supernatural world entered their lives, life was completely bearable. And even though Bonnie could find herself feeling peace in this moment, she couldn't let go of the fact, that they were all here for a purpose.

But for Caroline's sake, she would put on her happy face. Because she deserved this…they both did. So, she embraced her best friend in a hug, and smiled lightly, "Let's get ready."

Caroline clapped her hands and squealed, as they began to get ready for the Founder's Ball.

Damon was bored out of his mind. Being at the Founder's Ball was one of the many things he did not miss about his past. He sipped on his scotch as watch the many people enter. Women left and right gave him a wink, even if they were with their husbands. He remembered that back then that he would have returned the gesture, but his mind was on someone else. Katherine who had entered with her brother wasn't even a blimp on his radar at the moment.

"Is everything alright with your brother, Stefan?" Katherine asked, as he led her onto the floor as they began to dance.

After briefly glancing at his brother, he turned his attention fully back to Katherine, "He is just jealous that you are here with me tonight." Stefan didn't even believe himself when he said that. To be quite honest, he knew his brother and even though he didn't know what was on his mind, he knew that right now Katherine was the last thing on it.

"Hmm, you could be right," Katherine wasn't a fool, something else was going on with Damon, and Stefan seemed a bit on edge as well. By the end of the night, she would find out exactly what was going on.

"You seem worried, are you alright?" Stefan said, trying to make this as normal as possible. He then twirled her around, and she couldn't help but giggle.

"I am perfectly alright…with you."

Stefan really hoped that Katherine was buying this devotion he was manipulating into her. Because he couldn't care less if she was alright. Katherine was a thorn in his side, but in this time he was compelled to love her.

Damon wished he had his vampire hearing to listen in on Katherine and Stefan. He really hoped Stefan was doing his job with manipulating Katherine, so she wouldn't question anything.

His thoughts were immediately cut off, when Bonnie entered the room. For some odd reason, his heart began to speed up like an adolescent male, and he couldn't take his eyes away from her. The faults of being human, he thought to himself.

She looked amazing; the way the lavender corset dress hugged her curves. She was made for this time, he thought to himself. The way she smiled and laughed was mesmerizing as it traveled through the room. But what sparked a hint of rage through his body, was that she wasn't laughing at something Blondie said, she was laughing at one of the idiots that were trying to talk to them.

He knew all the men here would try to make a fool of themselves attempting to talk to her, but he didn't know why he wanted to rip them to shreds. And if he were a vampire right now, he would have...and he would have enjoyed it.

Stefan's eyes were on Caroline and Bonnie as well, which made Katherine turn around. The attention was not on her, and she really did not like that.

"Who are they?" she asked, as she continued to dance with Stefan.

"I am not quite sure," Stefan lied, not wanting Katherine to harm Bonnie and Caroline.

"You and your brother seem enthralled by them."

"They must be the two women my father said would be staying with us for awhile. Their parents are friends of the family, I believe." Stefan was quick on his feet, but this was Katherine, and being a human trying to fool a vampire was something that was very hard to do.

Stefan then kissed her, trying his best to bring passion into it, "Maybe we should get out of here for a little while."

"This is a new side of you." She expected Damon to say something like that, not Stefan.

"You bring out something new inside of me." He smiled, hoping she bought it.

Luckily for him, it worked, as they left to take a walk.

Katherine wasn't stupid though….far from it.

Damon noticed Stefan and Katherine leave. Whatever explanation his younger brother gave her, must have worked.

He then looked back over to where Bonnie was standing, and saw that she was about to Dance with some loser. He wasn't going to have that. He then walked over to them, placing himself between Bonnie and the guy, "May I have this dance."

Bonnie was a bit taken back at Damon's intrusion. She was hesitant at first, because she was still upset with Damon after their last encounter. So, why she placed her hand in his was beyond her.

"Get lost," he said to the other guy, knowing that he would obey. If you weren't one of the founding families in this time, you were pretty much nothing. That's the way he looked at in this moment.

Damon couldn't believe how nervous he was as he held Bonnie in his arms. His heart felt as if he was about to beat out of his chest. Yes, at times he did miss being human, but these emotions were too much for him to handle.

"Okay what was that for?" Bonnie said, feeling just as nervous and jittery as he was. She didn't like that feeling.

"He's no good for you." Was the only thing he could think of to say.

She rolled her eyes, "You're not good for me, and yet here I am dancing with you."

He smirked, "Maybe…. but I'm better than him."

Bonnie couldn't hide the blush that appeared on her face. The way Damon was looking at her, with those piercing blue eyes was too much to handle right now. She didn't want to feel this attraction to him. He was in love with her best friend, and she was not going to be anyone's second choice rebound girl.

As she turned to walk away from him, he pulled her back and twirled her around. Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Take a walk with me." His voice was that of pure velvet sin, and the way he was looking at her; the word no would never come out of her mouth even if she tried her best to say it.

Caroline had sneaking a peak at the two, as she danced with one of the guys. She knew that they needed to talk after everything that happened between them. And even though Damon wasn't number one on her list, the way he looked at Bonnie today, when he thought no one was paying attention would make anyone's heart melt.

She was interrupted out of her thoughts, when she noticed someone out of her peripheral…someone who looked very familiar. She then smiled to the guy she was dancing with, and walked off with a mission to find the guy who looked familiar.

Outside, Bonnie and Damon were in the garden, and if anyone walked by they would mistake them for two lovers.

"Last time we were here, it was under different circumstances, remember?" He held her hand in his, as they walked through the garden.

Bonnie tried her best not to blush remembering the last time they were in this time, was a hot and heavy dream they both shared.

But then reality hit her in the face hard, remembering everything after that, and she really didn't want anyone to get suspicious seeing them outside like this, "What did you want to talk about Damon?"

"I just wanted to take a walk with you."

"Why?"

"Why do you always have to ask questions? Can't you just enjoy right now."

"You might want to be careful, Damon. I think your humanity is starting to show."

As she was about to walk off, he said, causing her to stop in her tracks, "The kiss between Elena and I meant nothing."

She turned around slowly, "We are not having this conversation."

"Well maybe we should, because what other reason would you not talk to me."

"I'm not talking to you because we have nothing to talk about. We are not friends Damon, and the only reason I'm tolerating you now is because we have to work together to find a way back." She was upset and pretty much vulnerable right now. She hated that.

"But we were friends…we got to that point remember." She may have been angry right, now, but it was beyond sexy to Damon.

"Yeah, and then you kissed my best friend. You are in love with her. So, whatever was happening between us was just a mishap in judgment. And it will never happen again." After saying all of that to him, she cursed mentally. She was trying to prove him wrong, but judging the smirk on his face, and the way he walked up closer to her, she knew she hadn't.

"And you slept with her brother!" he couldn't help but yell; the rage and jealousy forming all over again, from what she and the younger Gilbert had done.

"He was my boyfriend!" she yelled back.

"He had no right to kiss you or do anything to you. You are mine Bonnie Bennett, and you better remember that. Just be glad you broke up with the little wimp, before I killed him."

If Bonnie had her powers right now, she would have given him an aneurysm and set him on fire repeatedly, but she didn't so she settled for slapping him hard, "Who the hell do you think you are!"

Damon grabbed his jaw and began to rub it, to numb down the sting.

And that's when Bonnie remembered what he said about her break up with Jeremy, "Were you spying on us! Because I just broke up with him yesterday and only Caroline knew."

Busted, Damon thought. "So what if I was?"

She was about to slap him again, but he caught her hand, "Damn it, Bonnie." And then his mouth landed on hers. He couldn't hold it together anymore. He just needed to feel her lips on his. He cupped her face in a gentle passionate way, and she couldn't help but melt into him. All of that anger she was feeling subsided for a moment, as their tongues did the forbidden dance.

Caroline finally caught up with the man, but his back was turned to hers. She gently tapped him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, her breath caught in her throat. "Tyler?" she said aloud.

He looked at her, as his friends walked away, "No, I'm sorry, it's Tristan. Tristan Lockwood." He said, grabbing her hand, placing a soft kiss upon it.

Think, Caroline, think, "Oh, I'm sorry, I think I heard someone wrong when I asked who you were."

He smiled, "That's alright, and you are?"

"Um, Caroline Fritz. " She blushed. Even in this time he still had that affect on her, "Um, I have to go and find my friend."

As she was about to walk away, he stopped her by saying, "Will you save a dance for me later?"

She turned around, and a shy smile appeared, "Sure." And then she walked off, to try and find Bonnie. If this was what they were suppose to find out, everything they knew was about to change.

Where she found them and the way she found them, she really didn't want to interrupt. But she knew she had too.

She then cleared her throat loud enough for them to hear.

Bonnie hadn't realized how long she and Damon had been standing there all over each other, but when Caroline cleared her throat, she quickly moved away, trying to adjust herself, and fix her hair.

Damon didn't even try to hide the hard on he had for Bonnie.

"Ew," Caroline said. Damon just smirked while Bonnie blushed.

"I hope what you wanted was really important, Blondie." Damon wasn't going to hide the frustration of Caroline interrupting them.

"Tyler's here!" she yelled out, betraying panic in her voice, "I mean not Tyler, but Tristan, I mean…"

"Caroline, it's okay calm down." Bonnie said trying to calm down her best friend, "Whose Tristan?"

"Tristan Lockwood, he looks just like Tyler. I mean identical. The way Elena and Katherine look alike." She finally got out, "I think Tyler is Tristan's doppelganger."

Bonnie and Damon looked at each other, and then back at Caroline. Was this what they were supposed to find out? That Tyler is a doppelganger? What would that mean for their present?
