Mystic Falls, May 23 2009

It was 6.45 am when Brea heard Elena's alarm go off. She rolled over to try and get back to sleep but as she did, Elena turned the radio up even louder.

"Elena!" she yelled throwing the closest book at the wall the two shared in protest. However, Elena just turned it up louder and Brea could hear her bouncing around her room and groaned at her rude awakening before dragging herself out of bed.

Brea eventually made her way out of her room glaring and ran straight into Elena.

"Can't we wake up at 7 for once? Please," Brea argued as Elena laughed and skipped off ahead.

"We can't both go into school with high ponytails you know," Elena retorted as Brea self consciously grabbed her hair. "Brea, we wear the same stuff all the time, we don't have a choice in the cheerleading uniform, so we can at least have different hairstyles," Elena smirked.

Brea looked down and smiled victoriously. "Fine, I'll change my hair, but you have to change your shoes," she giggled as Elena looked down groaning when she realised they were wearing the same shoes and she stalked off to change them.

Brea decided to wait for her twin and checked her phone, seeing a text from her boyfriend, Chad Fell.

C - Need a lift to school?

Brea replied

B - That's ok I'm good, I'll see you there

He sent back

C - Easy, love you

When she read the text all she could do was sigh and decided to ignore it, putting her phone away as Elena pranced out of her room muttering about how she should've checked the shoes first.

As the pair got downstairs Elena saw Aunt Jenna pouring coffee and almost ran at her, eager for a caffeine hit and Brea made herself a tea instead.

"Hey," Aunt Jenna greeted them both.

"Hey," Brea replied back as Elena was too distracted by the thought of coffee to greet their aunt.

"Jeremy locked himself in the bathroom again. Does he think we don't know what he's doing in there?" Elena sighed as Brea pretended to dry retch over by the sink causing Elena to roll her eyes at her.

"He's 14, they don't think," Jenna quipped back with a smirk.

Just when Elena thought Jenna was distracted she lunged at the coffee pot, but Jenna was quick and grabbed her hand. "Hey you'll get me in trouble," Jenna whispered.

"Morning," their mom called as she came downstairs causing Elena to gasp and drop the coffee pot before spinning around.

"Nearly got busted," Brea smirked.

"Morning mom," Elena smiled innocently as their mum kissed her cheek before doing the same to Brea.

"Brea, let's go, we've got to get to practice. See you later guys," Elena called to Jenna and their mom before leaving, Brea hot on her tail.


"Caroline Forbes told me that my ponytail lacked juj," Elena relayed to Brea, Bonnie, Matt and Chad.

"I don't even know what that means," Matt laughed in reply.

"Aren't I glad I switched my ponytail this morning," Brea giggled causing Elena to glare at her as Chad put his arm around her shoulder, which resulted in her tensing.

"It means Caroline's driving Elena crazy, as usual," Bonnie explained to Matt.

"There are perks to being best friends with the cheer captain, Lena. You should try it. I'm in, I could help you out. You've got to go past the friend zone into the best friend zone," Brea laughed teasingly as Elena shuddered.

"I'm good. I've got Bonnie. Plus I think I can only just handle this amount of her, I don't need more," Elena laughed.

"So as I psychically predicted, flare jeans are making a comeback," Bonnie stated changing the subjects, causing Elena to grin, she loves flare jeans.

"That doesn't make you psychic, Bonnie. It means that you watch to much 'Top Model'," Elena scoffed.

"Say what you want. But I've got a bad feeling about the bonfire tonight."

"I think Bonnie has superpowers," Brea interjected causing all four other to stare at her. "Super, predictive fashion powers."

"Doesn't matter anyway, we can't go," Elena said referencing her and Brea. Both Chad and Matt turned to face them with unhappy faces. "I know, but Jenna's in town and my parents want to do a family night."

"Plus I don't really want to go, we haven't seen Jenna in ages. I miss my hyper aunt," Brea threw in with a smile at her sister.

"You guys have to come," Chad said grabbing Brea's hand. "Please Brea?"

"I agree, come on guys," Matt added, causing the two twins to look at each other uncomfortably. "See if you can sneak out," Matt suggested with Chad nodding. Matt proceeded to kiss Elena and Chad tried to do the same to Brea but she turned her head to smile at Bonnie, causing him to miss and kiss her cheek with a dejected look.

"We gotta go see coach Tanner," Chad said. "Love you," he said to Brea before leaving.

Brea and Elena turned to face Bonnie to see her giving them knowing looks which they returned with confused ones.

"What?" Brea asked.

"Oh come on Brea, you guys didn't say it back. They both said 'I love you' and you both said nothing." she explained. "You can't string them along, guys. If you aren't into it anymore just… tell them."

"Yeah I know," Brea agreed whilst Elena stayed quite. "Anyway, I see the scary Caroline Forbes so I'll catch up with you guys later," she promised before walking off towards her best friend.


"Elena, call mom ok. She'll come to pick us up. I'll meet you on the road. I'll just be a minute," Brea said to an irritated Elena at the bonfire party that they both ended up going to. Elena nodded and walked off. Brea sighed as she spotted Chad by himself next to the bonfire, she took a deep breath and walked over to him. "Hey, can we talk?" she asked.

Chad nodded sadly, "sure," he said grabbing her hand pulling her away from the crowd. "Let's do this."

Brea looked up at Chad sadly. "Look Chad I…"

"I just don't get it," he interrupted. "What did I do wrong?"

"Nothing, you did nothing. I just can't do this. I'm sorry. It just doesn't feel right. I just don't think you're the one I'm meant to be with."

"Well, that hurts."

"Chad…"

"No, I get it, didn't know how long I'd be able to keep one of the popular Gilbert girls anyway. I should've been this coming."

Brea looked at him sadly, cupping his cheek. "It's not that I don't think you're a great guy, or that I don't care for you. I just... can't… I'm sorry," she whispered as he nodded, kissing her head. "I'm going to go," she whispered.

"Are you ok to get home?" he asked sadly.

"Yeah, Elena's calling mom, she had a fight with Matt so I'm fine, Chad. I'm so sorry," she said one last time before walking off.

"Elena," Brea called out as she spotted her sister talking to a dark-haired stranger. As he looked at her his eyes widened.

"This is impossible," he whispered, "Brenna?" he asked louder.

"Umm yeah, do I know you?" she asked back as Elena continued to stare at him curiously. Damon paused as if he was listening to something.

"Both human, how is that possible," he whispered. "How are you alive?"

"So what do you want?" Elena asked ignoring the strange exchange between the man and her sister.

"Ah…" the man smirked, thinking as they heard a car honk and they all turned to look at it.

"That's our parents," Elena exclaimed.

As the twins turned back around to Damon he captivated both of their eyes. "I want you both to get everything you're looking for. But right now I want you to forget that this happened. Can't have people knowing I'm in town yet. Goodnight Elena, Brenna," he said before he zipped away and the memory of the meeting was wiped from the sister's minds.

"Let's get in," Brea said as their parent's car pulled up.

"Wait," Elena said grabbing Brea's arm. "What happened with you and Chad?"

"We broke up. He knew it was coming. I'm fine. You should've seen his face though, Lena. I've never seen anything like it. The fact that I, me, could make someone that sad, it's just, scary you know," Brea huffed as Elena looked down conflicted. "But it's for the best Elena. I know it was," she said with a weak smile at her sister before getting in the car. Brea settled into her seat, shutting her eyes as her mom quizzed Elena on the night.


"LOOK OUT!" she heard her mom scream and she jolted awake as the car swerved to the side and off Wickery Bridge as she and Elena screamed before fainting. They soon woke up coughing. The twins looked at each other before realising that the car was filling up with water.

"Dad," Brea stuttered, but he ignored her.

"Dad," Elena said more forcefully.

He turned to look at his daughters before reassuring them that "we're going to be ok. I promise."

Elena and their dad were madly trying to escape the car but Brea was motionless before she whispered "mom." Elena stopped and looked at their unconscious mother before trying to free them even harder.

"Come on Brea, we have to get out," Elena urged and Brea nodded and started banging on the car. The water was fast filling the car and as they were spluttering the water went above their heads and the car was filled.

After a little longer of struggling Brea and Elena stopped and just hugged each other as their dad kept trying to open the door.

Elena yelled out for their father underwater a few times before he looked over at his daughters and stuck his hand out toward them and they grabbed on tight whilst still hugging each other as he shook his head in defeat at their situation. The girls looked at each other and then back to their father nodding to reassure him. Simultaneously they both mouthed "I love you," to their father before their grips on each other loosened as the girls passed out from lack of oxygen and their lives forever changed.
