Author's Note: Hope you love the updated version! :D

Megan was over the moon the next morning. She finally kissed Stefan. All the worries she had disappeared after the kiss. Even if she was still worried, she wasn't going to. She was going to enjoy the first good relationship she had in a long time. Too bad she didn't have that much time to enjoy it when Bonnie came up to her and tried to convince her she made a bad choice.

"I'm not saying don't date the guy." Her sister tried to recount her statement.

Megan crossed her arms. "Then what are you saying?"

Bonnie sighed, not wanting to make her sister mad. "I'm just saying take it slow, that's all."

"Weren't you the one that told me to go for it?" Megan reminded her. "You even gave Stefan my phone number?"

"I changed my mind…besides, you're single for the first time in your entire high school career. It's the perfect time to play the field."

Megan couldn't help but laugh at that. "Right, and that's exactly what I'm like." She looked at her, concerned. "Come on Bon, I'm your sister. You can tell me anything. Now, what's the real reason?"

Bonnie said nothing for a moment, then sighed. "It's stupid…" she mumbled.

In response, Megan stopped and grabbed her sister's hands. "Bonnie, tell me." She said softly.

Her sister sighed again as she squeezed her hands before letting go. "I accidently touched Stefan and I got a really bad feeling."

Megan said nothing for a moment. "Oh…" She knew never to doubt the feelings you get, especially for a Bennett witch, and this was coming from someone who didn't believe in that stuff. But she really liked Stefan and didn't get a bad feeling from him herself, so maybe Bonnie was wrong. "Okay." She spoke again. "Thank you for telling me…but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, Bonnie."

"Megan, it was bad, bad!" Bonnie exclaimed, startling her. She took a deep breath and let it out. "Aren't you the one that that told me to listen to the feelings I get?"

She did say that. "Yeah, but maybe your feeling is wrong." Megan said. "That does happen, you know?"

Bonnie stared at her sister with frustration. It didn't last long until she sighed again.

"I'm just concerned." Bonnie said gently. "This is me expressing concern about my sister's new boyfriend."

"And I appreciate it Bonnie, I do." Megan told her. "But really, there's nothing to worry about. If I knew Stefan was dangerous, I wouldn't be involved with him."

Bonnie wanted to say something more, but was cut off by Charlene and Elena showing up.

"Morning." Charlene greeted the two Bennett sisters brightly.

"Morning!" Elena said as well, looking happy for the first time in a while.

Despite the tense conversation between her sister and her, Megan couldn't help but smile. "Aren't you happy today?"

"Yeah, I am happy." Elena smiled back. "Decided to take a piece out of the Megan handbook and be happy for a change."

"Yay!" Megan cheered brightly, giving her other favorite Gilbert girl a big hug.

Elena laughed and hugged her back. Charlene watched on with a smile before it turned into a pout as Megan looked over at her.

"Do I not get a famous Megan hug?" she asked, fake sadness in her tone.

Megan rolled her eyes but she giggled. "Of course!" She broke the hug with Elena and hugged her best friend. "Happy?"

"Very." Charlene broke the hug as she smiled. "So, what were you guys talking about?"

Before Megan or Bonnie could answer, Stefan showed up, fixing his bag over his shoulder. "Good morning, Elena, Charlene. Good morning, Megan."

"Morning Stef!" Megan said, smiling brightly at him as she went over to him to give him a one armed hug. He smiled down at her, hugging her back and kissing the side of her head.

Stefan looked over at Bonnie, giving her a smile. "Good morning, Bonnie."

She ignored his greeting and turned Elena, Charlene, and Megan. "Hey, um, I gotta find Caroline." She said quickly. "She's not answering her phone. So, I'll see you guys later." Bonnie hurried off and Megan sighed.

"She doesn't like me very much…" Stefan said.

"It's not that, Stefan." Megan tried to reassure him. "She's just worried about me, that's all. She was there through the whole Josh thing and she just doesn't me to get hurt. Not only that, she doesn't know you. Once she doesn't, she'll love you. You'll see."

Her reassurance worked, at least that's what it looked like to Megan.

"Yeah." Charlene nodded in agreement, patting Stefan's shoulder. "Elena would act the same way if I dated someone new." She looked over at her sister and the brunette nodded.

"Of course. I mean, you saw what I was like when you started dating Tyler Lockwood."

"Yep. You were a bitch." Charlene said with a straight face and Elena's mouth dropped slightly. The blonde smirked slightly and Elena pouted, shoving her shoulder playfully.

"I was not a bitch." Charlene gave her a look causing the brunette to sigh and roll her eyes. "Fine, I was a little bitchy." Elena laughed and soon, the rest joined in.

Once the laughter stopped, Charlene spoke up. "Hey, I have an idea. Stefan, are you free tonight?"

"Yes."

Charlene smiled. "Great."

"Where are you going with this?" Megan questioned, wondering what her best friend was thinking.

"Well, I was thinking we could have a dinner at mine and Elena's house. A 'get to know you' dinner. Bonnie and Stefan can spend some quality time and she'll see how a great guy he is. And I can get to know my best friend's new boyfriend, make sure he has no secrets." Her voice turned teasing at the end. Stefan chuckled, but you listened closely, it was a nervous chuckle.

Megan grinned. "I think that's a great idea!" She slipped an arm through Stefan's as she looked up at him. "What do you think, Stefan? If it's too awkward, you don't have to." She didn't want to ruin this by making him do something he didn't want to do.

Stefan shook his head, smiling down at her. "No, it sounds great."

She smiled in relief. "Good."

"Great! Then it's settled." Charlene smiled, slipping her arm through Stefan's other one.

Tyler Lockwood, who was tossing a football around with Matt and another guy, was watching with jealous eyes, which only deepened seeing Charlene putting her arm through Stefan's. He scoffed. Was she trying to make him jealous? She had to see him there. If she was, in fact, trying to do that…well it was working.

"What's so special about this Stefan guy anyway?" Tyler grumbled. "He's not that great."

Matt shrugged as he caught the football. "I haven't talked to him…but he seems nice."

Tyler looked at the group of four, watching as Elena laughed at something Stefan said, causing the Lockwood boy to smirk. "Looks like Elena thinks so too."

Knowing what he was trying to do, Matt rolled his eyes. "You're a dick."

"It's true, look at how she's laughing."

"Ty, stop. It doesn't matter. Stefan's with Megan anyway."

"Still, the point still stands. If you're not careful, someone will take Elena away."

Matt looked at him, frustrated. "Hey, what am I supposed to do, Ty? She chose to break up with me."

"Let her know she made the wrong one." Tyler took the football from Matt.

"What are you doing? Ty, don't. Ty, don't! Ty!"

Before Matt could stop him, Tyler hurled the football at Stefan. Unfortunately for him, he quickly turned around and caught the football. Matt and Tyler looked shocked.

Charlene gave Tyler a glare. "Jerk!" she exclaimed, knowing he only did that because he was jealous. She huffed as Elena and Megan laughed.

Stefan threw the football back at Tyler in lightning speed. The football slammed into his stomach but he managed to keep it in his hands. Tyler stood there still, shell shocked, while Matt looked impressed now.

"That was amazing, Stefan!" Megan said excitedly.

Stefan chuckled. "Thanks."

"Very impressive." Elena agreed.

"Seriously though, you should join the team!" Megan suggested with a grin.

This made her boyfriend shake his head. "I don't think so."

Megan opened her mouth to ask him why, but Charlene interrupted before she could.

"We should get to class before Mr. Tanner gets pissed. Though, isn't he always?"

Elena and Megan stifled a laugh and Stefan smiled as they headed to class.

Charlene settled down at her desk, doodling in her History notebook. The discussion was already getting boring as it normally did. Though Stefan and Megan's conversation caught her attention.

"Why won't you join the team? Our team sucks. Trust me, I'm at every game since I'm a cheerleader, and they could use you. Aaand, we would get to spend a lot of time together." Megan whispered with an inviting smile.

"Can't." Stefan whispered back with a slight smile.

"Why not?" Megan pouted.

"I'm a loner."

Megan rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but giggle. A little too loudly, catching Mr. Tanner's attention.

"Ms. Bennett?"

Charlene shook her head, stifling a laugh. Her best friend needed to do a better job at being quiet. Then again, it wouldn't be Megan if she was quiet.

Megan winced, turning her head around to face her teacher. "Um, yeah?"

"Pearl Harbor?"

"Erm…what was the question again?" she asked, scratching her head.

"Pearl Harbor…when did it end?" he responded slowly, effectively making Megan feel stupid and she blushed.

"I…"

Luckily, being the knight and shining amour that he was, Stefan saved Megan. "December 7, 1941."

"Thank you, Ms. Bennett." Mr. Tanner said sarcastically.

"Anytime." Charlene stifled a laugh while Megan hid a big smile behind her hand.

"Very well." Mr. Tanner shook his head. "The fall of the Berlin Wall?"

"1989." At the history teacher's semi-shocked look, Stefan simply smiled. "I'm good with dates, sir."

"Are you? How good? Keep it to the year. Civil Rights Act?"

"1954."

"John F. Kennedy assassination?"

"1963."

"Martin Luther King?"

"'68."

"Lincoln?"

"1865."

"Roe vs. Wade?"

"1973."

"Brown vs. Board?"

"1954."

"The battle of Gettysburg?"

"1863."

"Korean War?"

"1950 to 1953."

"Ha! It ended in '52!" Mr. Tanner said smugly.

"Uh, actually sir, it was 53."

His eyes narrowed at him. "Look it up, somebody. Quickly."

Wanting to prove Mr. Tanner wrong too, Megan looked it up and glanced up, grinning.

"It was 19…53!" she sang brightly, turning her grin over to Stefan. The bell rang and they were free to go.

Charlene laughed. "That was awesome, Stefan!"

"How did you even know all of that?" Megan questioned curiously as she slipped her hand in Stefan's. "I can't even memorize half the stuff I learn in History."

Stefan chuckled. "Years and years of crosswords puzzles. It's a loner thing."

"Mm…maybe I should try the loner scene, might even pass my exams this year." Megan joked, causing Charlene to giggle. Then she shrugged. "Then again, I like people too much."

Stefan smiled.

"That, and life wouldn't be the same if you were a loner chick. I'd miss you too much." Charlene told her best friend.

"Aw Char!" Megan let go of Stefan to hug her friend before pulling back to grin at her. "Glad to know you love me so much."

"Well, don't be getting a big head about it."

Megan giggled. "Too late!" She moved in front of them and began walking backwards. "I'll see you guys later! Cheer practice!" She blew kisses their way. "And Stefan? At least think about joining the football team, okay? For me?" He didn't respond as she turned around and hurried away to make it to cheer practice on time.

Charlene nudged Stefan in the side and he looked over at her. "You know, she's not gonna give on trying to get you to join the football team." she said with a grin. "It's not in her nature."

"Yeah, I've noticed." Stefan smiled.

"As long as you know." Charlene patted him on the shoulder. "See ya." With that, she went down the hallway to go to her locker.

-0-

Though she wasn't a cheerleader, Charlene liked going to the practice to support her friends.

While Megan did her stretches along with Bonnie, she played on her phone and was surprised when an unknown number flashed on her screen. Her eyebrows furrowed, but she decided to press ignore since she didn't know who it was.

"Oh my God!" Charlene glanced up to see Megan and Bonnie hugging Elena happily. "I can't believe you're here!"

"Me either." Charlene smiled up at her sister as she put her phone back in her purse.

Elena smiled back. "Yep! I can't be sad girl forever." She sat down next to them. "The only way to get things back to the way they were are to do things that were."

"Amen sister." Charlene laughed and Elena winked as they fist-pumped.

"Oh! Before I forget…" Megan started as she turned to her sister. "You and me are having dinner at Elena and Char's house."

Bonnie rose an eyebrow. "We are?"

"Yeah!" Megan said brightly. "You, me, and Stefan." Bonnie's eyes went wide and she hurriedly continued. "Please Bon, you have to give him a chance."

Elena and Charlene said nothing, knowing this was between them.

"Tonight's no good." Bonnie said quickly. Megan gave her a look, but her sister ignored it. "Have you seen Caroline? I texted her like a hundred times."

"Bonnie, don't change the subject." Megan begged. "Please, just do this…for me."

Bonnie stared at her before she sighed heavily. "Fine. I'll go."

"Thank you!" Megan hugged her. "Thank you so much!" She broke the hug and Charlene spoke up.

"If it makes you feel better, me and Elena will be there."

Bonnie nodded. It was around thirty minutes later and Caroline was still nowhere in sight. All of them were worried.

"Seriously, where is Caroline?" Bonnie asked worriedly, checking her phone.

"I don't know…" Elena frowned. "It's not like her."

"Yeah, usually she's practicing way before we get here." Megan added.

"I'm sure she's okay." Charlene said, trying to be the level headed one as always.

"I'll try her again…" Bonnie mumbled. Before she could even do that, Caroline showed up in a blue car driven by…Damon Salvatore.

Elena, Bonnie, Megan, and Charlene watched as she leaned over and kissed him.

"Uh…" Elena stared, gaping.

"Oh my god." Bonnie said surprised. "That must be the mystery guy from the Grill."

"He's no mystery." Charlene mumbled and they looked over at her. "That's Damon Salvatore."

"Salvatore, as in Stefan?!" Both Elena and Bonnie exclaimed at the same time.

Caroline closed Damon's car door before gliding over to the rest of the squad. "I got the other brother." She smirked in Megan's direction. "Hope you don't mind."

Megan didn't know what to say to that as Charlene shook her head and looked over at Damon's car to find it still there.

His blue eyes caught hers and he smirked before he drove off. Then Charlene heard her phone buzz in her hand as she looked down at the screen. It was the same random number, but this time, it was a text that read:

"It was nice seeing you again, Charlene."

Charlene was shocked, knowing who it was.

Damon.
