No special reason to be updating, just felt like it. Anyway, here's a random AU. Loved all the reviews so far! You guys are great! No spoilers, you'll just have to read to know what I've got in mind.

"Come on, Klaus, at least give me a hint as to where we're going."

Caroline was beginning to lose her patience the longer she had to keep the blindfold on her eyes. It had been half an hour since Klaus told her that he had something to show her, but when she asked where it was, he didn't divulge any information, only that it would be worth her while and that in order to keep from spoiling the surprise, she had to wear a blindfold.

"Patience, love," he replied. "You'll find out once we get there."

"You keep saying that, but I don't think I can be patient for that long," said Caroline. "I swear to God, Klaus, if you're taking us somewhere stupid, I'm not going to let you hear the end of it."

"Trust me, Caroline, you'll like it," said Klaus. "Just a few more minutes and we'll be there."

Caroline rolled her eyes, even though it was impossible to see it from under the blindfold. "That's what you said a few minutes ago."

Klaus smiled. Even though he hated the fact that he had to blindfold her, he couldn't afford to have the suprise ruined if she saw where he was taking them. What she didn't know was that several weeks ago, he had purchased and rebuilt a house for them. He had just completed it the other day and he was excited about showing it to her.

Five Minutes Later...

Finally, after what seemed like forever, they arrived at their destination and Klaus helped Caroline out of the car, guiding her and keeping her from falling. He could sense that her anxiety was building, which meant that the moment of truth was drawing near.

"Can I take the blindfold off now?"

Klaus shook his head. "Not yet, love. You can take it off when I say you can."

"Damn it, Klaus, why are you insisting on dragging this out?" said Caroline. "What are you up to?"

"You'll see," said Klaus. "It's a surprise."

He led her to the middle of the living room and stopped walking, after which he got behind her, his hot breath making her shiver. "Now can I take the blindfold off?"

"All right, now."

Caroline removed the blindfold and shocked in amazement at what her eyes beheld. She got out of Klaus' embrace and looked all around at everything before she looked back at Klaus. "Oh my God, this is amazing. More than amazing, it's...it's...gorgeous!"

Klaus smiled. "Do you like it?"

"Are you kidding? I don't just like it, I love it!" She then gave him a curious look. "Who lives here?"

"We do," he replied. "I bought this place several weeks ago and rebuilt it. I wanted it to be perfect for us." He approached her and pulled her into his arms. "I apologize for all the secrecy, Caroline, but I didn't want you to see it before it was ready."

"You didn't have to go to all this trouble," said Caroline. "But, I appreciate the fact that you wanted to do something special for us." She kissed him. "I don't know what I did to deserve someone as amazing as you, but I don't regret falling in love with you, Niklaus."

Klaus returned her kiss. "I don't regret falling in love with you either, Caroline Forbes." He kissed her again. "Oh, that reminds me. There is a second part to your surprise."

"Do I have to wear that stupid blindfold again?"

Klaus chuckled. "No, you don't have to wear the blindfold again. For this part of the surprise, I need you to have your eyes open for this." He stepped back and took her hand. "Come, I'll show you where it is."

Caroline smiled and let him lead her up to the third floor, where he took her to a loft and when they got there, she saw a little white French bulldog sitting there. A big smile on her face, Caroline let go of Klaus' hand and went over to pick the little dog up, giggling as she felt her face getting bombarded with doggy kisses.

"Klaus, thank you," she said. "He's so cute!"

"I haven't named him," he replied. "I figured I'd leave up to you, since he's yours." He smiled again. "Look at his collar, you'll find something that I placed on it."

Caroline didn't know what he meant, but decided to look at the collar anyway and sure enough, she found what looked like a ring attached to a ribbon, along with a note. Oh no, this wasn't going where she thought it was going, was it? Then again, she and Klaus had been dating for almost fifteen years now, so it might be. Trying hard to hard back her tears, she opened the note and read the message:

"Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Caroline looked at Klaus and went over to him, wrapping one arm around him because she had the dog in the other, kissing him passionately. "My answer is yes. I'll definitely do you the honor of becoming your wife and spending eternity with you."

Klaus smiled and returned her kiss. He knew that she'd accept his proposal and at that moment, he felt like the happiest man on the planet. In fact, he was happier than he had ever been in centuries. After a few minutes, they stepped back, breaking the kiss.

"What are you going to name the puppy?"

"Well, he's white, almost like snow," she replied. "I think I'm going to name him Snowflake."

"Would that be in reference to that painting you commented on fifteen years ago?"

"Maybe," said Caroline. "Either that or I chose it because I thought it was a cute name." She kissed him again. "I love you, Niklaus, more than you'll ever know."

Note: Here you go, lovelies, another update by yours truly. Enjoy! :)
