The day after the graduation party, Rachel was up in her bedroom, packing for her summer with Klaus. He had kept their destination a surprise but she knew she would love it as long as she was with him.
She had stopped her packing a few minutes ago to start on a contraception potion that would work for an entire year. If she was going to be sexually active, she needed to be responsible about it right? It didn't matter that Klaus was a vampire, he was also a hybrid and she didn't want to find out he could have children by getting pregnant in the middle of her dream life. They would have all the time to discover this later on.
Her bedroom door was open and Santana walked in. She was going to stay a couple of weeks longer in Mystic Fall's before going to visit her family, probably with Kol.
"Hey Rachel I got the weirdest phone call just now..." Santana started.
"What was it?" She asked.
"Puck said he tried to call you several times since last night but you didn't answer." Santana replied.
"I put my phone on silent yesterday morning for the ceremony... I think it's still on silent... Yep, he tried to call...15 times! He didn't leave a message thought. What's wrong?" Rachel asked after checking her phone.
"I'm not sure but he's freaking out. He said he's coming here... he'll be here at the end of the day. I told him that you were leaving tomorrow morning and he said he would step on it to be here faster." Santana explained.
"But what's wrong with him?" Rachel asked.
"He wouldn't say... I guess we'll see tonight. Anyway, are you done packing?" She asked looking at the one suitcase open on the floor.
"Nearly." Rachel nodded.
"That's all you're taking? You're going away all summer! I would have packed at least 3 bags, and they'd be bigger than that." Santana argued.
"Klaus assured me that he'd buy me anything I needed. He would be offended if I refused him the pleasure of buying me things so... I'm packing only the essentials and a few changes of clothes. He'll buy me the rest wherever we're going. Plus, I don't know where we're going so I don't really know what to pack... I can't exactly take everything." The young witch hybrid explained with a smile.
"True. Well, I'll go and meet Kol at the Grill for our first official date. I'll be back tonight to see what's wrong with Puck. Kol will probably come along with me, I think he'd get along well with Puck." Santana told her before she walked out of the room.
After Santana left Rachel alone in her bedroom, Rachel drank the contraception potion, wrote down a reminder in her agenda to take it again in one year and finished packing quickly before she joined her father in his own bedroom.
"So, do you know when you'll propose to Rebekah or even where?" She asked him.
"I'm still not sure...Maybe I'll go classical and propose in Paris or Rome, maybe I'll try something else and have inspiration somewhere else... We'll see. It will be a spur of the moment planned decision." He replied with a smile.
"Well, I hope I'll be the first you call when you do." She asked.
"Of course, you know I will. So, what do you think Puck wants?" He asked her.
"I have no clue but what I know is that he won't be here before tonight and that today is our day. We'll have time to worry about it later. You and I won't see each other for two entire months so...We need to get some serious daddy-daughter time in." She reminded him.
"True. Now come on, it's the last time I'll cook my baby lunch before a long time." Damon told her as he guided her down to the kitchen.

While Rachel and her father were spending time together, Klaus was making sure everything was ready for him and Rachel.
He had bought a new place just for her and he was nervous. It was the first time he did such a grand gesture for anyone and he hoped she would like it. He had planed everything so it would suit her and he had spent a lot of time and money on it. He had never loved anyone so much before and he really wanted this summer to be a constant proof and reminder of the Love he felt for Rachel.
He tried to calm his nerves. What girl wouldn't like being bought an island under the sun with a huge villa designed just for her on it?
He had designed it so it would be everything she had ever dreamed of and he knew that there was everything she'd love in their small island, including a boat to get to the mainland and go shopping or in a restaurant or to a club... There was a Jacuzzi, enough bedrooms so she could invite whomever she wanted (and he had a feeling Santana, Kol and the others would visit them over the summer), a swimming pool (inside and outside) and a room where she would be able to practice her singing. He had also added a drawing room for himself, knowing that making this THEIR first house together would make her happy.
After zipping his bag shut he called one of his Hybrids who lived in New York to make sure he had the proper instructions for the big apartment he was having restored there. When that was done, he went to check on his sister.
"Not a light packer are you?" He asked her as he glanced at the 5 bags around her.
"I know, I'm in the process of downing it to only 2 bags... Damon swore we'd be able to buy things as we travelled Europe but still..." Rebekah replied.
"Well, hurry up and when you're done we'll go back to the Boarding house. A friend of Rachel and Santana, Puck, is coming and apparently he has a problem. We have to sort this quickly so I can leave on time with Rachel." He told her.
"You sound nervous... Why? Does Puck's presence make you nervous?" His sister asked him.
"Of course not, I know that Rachel's love for me is stronger than anything. I just can't wait to show her the Island and see what she decides to name it." He replied.
"Don't worry, she'll like it." Rebekah assured him before she turned back to her bags.
So, what do you think Puck wants? What is his problem? You'll find out in the 140th chapter. Will it be something big or is he overreacting? All I can tell you is that something supernatural is happening to him and he's freaking out.
