2012

"What happened? " Human Damon asked a distressed Bonnie who came out of the room in a hurry. He had a letter in his hand written by Josie telling him about Sam and how thing that happens with Stefanie , happened when Josie touched him. This week was already been tough. Alaric found out about Josie being a heretic and was quite upset about it. For some reason , All their past selves in 2010 were getting the memories without Stef and everyone from future. For some reason, he and Stefan thought that Matt was Stefanie's father. What a joke.

" Silas happened."

" What !?"

" Katherine woke him and he killed Enzo. My Enzo... disappeared." Bonnie choked on her words and clutched her head. Some tears came and Damon came forward to hug her.

" Hey! We will figure it out."

" How Damon? Enzo is dead." Damon adjusted his glasses and spoke after a moment.

" But in this timeline. He is alive in another timeline. We can do something."

Bonnie stayed quiet for a moment and pulled out of the hug.

" We can save him but watching him die again made me remember..." She shook her head and wiped her face.

" Let me get you a drink." Damon turned around and poured a drink for the Bonnie. He turned and handed it to her.

" What are we going to do about Silas? He is going to come after Stefan and the cure. " Damon asked after some time.

" The cure is with Katherine ..and other source of cure is... you." Bonnie replied and thought .

" We have to do something. After Enzo , I can't let anything happen to... you ." Damon just nodded and sipped his bourbon.

2010

"So , you are saying that MJ and Ella are Elena's daughters? Oh my god. "

" Yippie. Grandma. " Damon fake cheered which made Stefan roll his eyes.

Jenna smiles and put her hands on her cheeks.

" I always thought that Ella looked a smaller version of Elena but didn't think it was possible " Jenna moved towards the table to find a photo frame. She handed it to Stefan who gazed at the picture. He couldn't tell if it was Ella or Elena.

" What does this mean?" Jenna asked both of them and Damon answered quickly.

" We are going to protect them till they go back in their time." Jenna smiled and Stefan put down the picture.

" I will get the car." Damon got up and left the room.

" I know this must be hard for you but at least it's not Damon now. I am also getting those memories too. The one where Damon kissed Katherine on the porch at the time of founders day and I thought it was Elena."

" Jenna , we are broken up already. Even before the memories came. I don't know but maybe it's for the best." Jenna just nodded her and Stefan smiled at her signalling his departure now. He moved out of the house to find Damon at the driver's seat.

" Aren't you gonna say something like I tried to steal your girl?"

Stefan looked at him slowly and spoke.

" No, Damon. It was all doomed from the start. Having new memories changes nothing much. " He sighed silently . Damon started car.

"How are you adjusting to being a... witch-pire? " A confused Caroline asked Josie. Caroline and Josie both were taking a walk in the woods . MJ and Stefan had been looking after Caroline for a while. Because of which Caroline felt that she had a duty towards Josie to help her out. She was trying to stay in control but it didn't help her much. Whenever she came close to Lizzie or Hope or any human for the matter , she would almost attack them but she was atleast trying. Because of this , She hadn't seen Elena for a week . She just guessed that she got invited in when she was unconscious. They were all trying to help but she needed time and a talk with her father. Alaric wrote to her but she needed hear his voice. She knew that Caroline wouldn't be angry but more disappointed in her. She was here with Caroline , a new vampire like her and she didn't have any idea who she was. Josie looked at her and smiled. Her mother made the same face when she got confused between brownies and cupcakes.

" Heretic and I am just ... adjusting. It is all new. With the magic , it feels like I am on fire. It is all so.. fast. " Josie looked down and kept walking. Caroline stopped midway which made her stop and look at her.

" For some time , I felt like a freak on a bag of heroine.I still feel the same way. My flaws are like multiplied but my qualities too. You shouldn't just believe but know that you just became better too. You are strong and powerful. "

Josie smiled and nodded her.

" I guess this is what I wanted to hear. I have been so down since I.. transitioned . Thank you so much."

Caroline nodded and smiled.

" Come on. I will teach you some other stuff." As she said this , she vamped out making Josie follow her. But Caroline didn't notice her mother who was watching her and kept her mouth shut.

" I wanted to talk to you about Sam , MJ." Hope was sitting in the library with MJ who kept looking for some other stuff.

" He has hots for her and she has it for him." Lizzie chimed in. She was excited about her for so many reasons. MJ usually blushed at his mention and didn't know how to talk around him. Either she was too bold or too shy. Later was a rare phenomenon for them.

" Oh come on." As predicted , MJ blushed and waved her hand off. She stopped looking for the book and turned around.

" And how can you even say that he has it for me ?" MJ tried to inquired. She would be lying if she said that he was un- hot if that's a word.

" You know there is something between you too. Like your mom and dad. "

" Mom and dad? "

" When sometime we came to your house for dinner, I remember noticing your mom and dad whole time. They weren't speaking but their eyes were. That didn't need words to understand each other. Same is with you. Yesterday when he came for some stuff you didn't even talk but you smiled whole time after he left." Lizzie stated.

" I was smiling because he left." Hope chuckled but stopped and spoke finally.

" We don't even know what he is." This made MJ make a weird face.

" Well , He told me the first day I arrived here so. "

" And You didn't tell us? What are you waiting for ?" MJ told them everything word to word what he told them.

" Light bringer!? Wow. I didn't expect this one. Maybe a warlock and He is older than my dad. " Hope said

" Don't make it sound gross but he is 2000 years old. " MJ huffed.

" That makes him kinda hot. Older guy like your dad." Lizzie jumped in and Hope laughed.

" I...No ..we are going to look Light bringer. There is nothing much left to do. Doppelganger problem is solved anyways. But what about Nadia? Lizzie stated

" Yeah. We are still looking for her. Sam said he would find her soon and I am going to talk to him." MJ spoke and picked up some books and left the room.

" Did you find that injection filled with that potion?" Hope asked Lizzie who just shook her head.

" If someone has it, we are not safe." Lizzie concluded.

" Who are you? " Katherine asked the figure as she tried to free herself as she was tied up in Alaric's loft. Klaus had returned Alaric's body but he was still staying here .

" I am Cade or The Devil for people like you." Katherine just made a face , full of annoyance.

" What am I supposed to do then ?" She continued freeing herself but Cade stopped her. He whispered something and she got free.

" Why , Thank you. But I can't get out , so I will take my thanks back." She just shrugged her shoulders and sat in the sofa.

" You will be free in a week before the Ritual. So , you can wait till then but you will have to do something ." He paced and came in front of her.

" You think that I do stuff because you freed me. No , I don't."

Cade just smiled .

" Well, I am offering you something much better. Destruction of Salvatore's and Elena."

" Well , I am listening." Katherine smiled wickedly. Cade walked by the cabinet and opened a drawer. He took out the injection and carefully handed it to Katherine.

" You have to kill MJ , daughter of Elena and Damon." He told her.

" Hi. " Stefanie greeted him and slumped the books by his side. Sam looked up and smiled. They were in The Grill , on their regular spot.

" Hi." He handed her the menu . As usual, she ordered the same food. Burger and fries.

" I wanted to ask you something. " He seemed nervous. She nodded and sipped her coffee.

" Do you want to go to the decade dance ..with me?" She spit her coffee as he asked nervously.

" I am so sorry." She cleaned her mouth with a tissue. He looked at her expectantly and she remembered what she was asked.

" You know what ? Yes sure. I could use a break." She told him as casually she could try. His face turned serious.

" And I have to tell you something because I don't want to keep secrets." He told her slowly.

" Yeah. Tell me. " She waited for his reply. But he smiled and waved his hand.

" I can tell you later after the dance because now we have work to do." He took a book and handed it to her.

She shook her head and kept the book aside.

" You like me. " MJ said.

" Yeah , I like you." Sam just nodded.

" No , you like me like me. If this is your secret , no deal" MJ stated.

" No, this is not my secret .I will later , I swear."

" You don't like me like me." She looked disappointed but hid it well.

" No , I like you. And yes , I mean like you like you. I was hoping to tell you in a better way but you attacked me ." She smiled shyly but replied.

" You don't have to tell me. I can see it. The way you look at me and talk to me. I have seen Clueless way too many time." She just smirked and continued to sip her coffee.

" Well, you are like Cher Horowitz."

" Oh my god , you are only man I have met besides my father who has seen Clueless . Funny story , my father and I bet sometimes and I win usually. I made him watch Mean girls. Mom didn't believe me. Soon she had to because he called her Regina George." She laughed on the memory and took a fry. He looked down and smiled. He took a book and handed it to her

" Now , let's research."

" It is a good thing we told Jenna. " Stefan told Damon as he entered through the door followed by Damon who shut the door.

" It is definitely worth it to see the look on grandma's face. " He chuckled to himself.

" What are you guys talking about? " Elena came out of her room. For past few days , she has been staying at The boarding house with everyone. Jenna was living with Mason and Jeremy at the house. He had called his werewolf friends to guard the Gilbert House. Alaric came living at boarding house after Klaus got his own body. The girls and Bonnie performed spells on him to check if it was him or not. Bonnie , Hope and Lizzie were in the library studying grimoires most of the time so they could go back in their time. Josie was getting help from Stefan and Caroline. She was good and could handle herself otherwise she helped in grimoires. MJ and Sam were looking for Nadia. Ella was by herself and Damon could tell that she was sad. So he tried to be with her and for some reason, he felt happy to be with her. She laughed at her vampire face and kissed him on his cheeks. This was the kiss he could never say no to because it was pure. Most of their problems were solved but they couldn't trust Klaus.

As for Elena , she and Stefan were broken up but remained civil. Damon wasn't talking to Elena , which seemed strange to her. She should be the one not to talk because of the memories.

As Elena asked the question , Damon left the conversation. She looked at him go.

" Nothing just..." Stefan started to talk but he didn't complete because he saw her follow Damon to his room. He just shook his head and sat down. He heard Elena knocking on the door and calling for him. He heard someone come out and looked up. He saw Ella running towards him and slipping a foot. Before she could fall , he caught her. She giggled as he picked her up. He put her down as he sat down himself. He sighed and was about to say something.

" Momma." She roared as she ran towards a newly appeared figure. He got up and looked.

He saw Elena , who Ella was trying to hug but could hug her legs because she was small. Older one. She was clearly in her 40s because of the wrinkles and few white hair. Elena picked up and kissed Ella's face.

" Hey , baby . I missed you." Ella kissed Elena's face and laughed.

" Elena." Stefan said finally after some time when he thought that she didn't notice him.

She put Ella down and looked at him . She smiled at him. Smile was different . It was sure happy but it was friendly. Ella ran upstairs most probably to get Damon.

" Hey , Stefan." She came forward and hugged him. Touch was different too. She saw him as a friend . It was sad but he smiled.

He heard Ella telling Damon about Elena. Ella dragged him down by pulling his hands and Elena followed her.

She ran back to her leaving Damon and Elena looking at each other. Elena gasped in shock as she heard Ella calling her older self mom and her older self picking her up. So that meant that MJ and Ella were her daughters and she wasn't going to be with Stefan or Damon. She was going to marry someone.

He came downstairs slowly.

" Hi . " Future Elena said awkwardly as no one said a word. Damon just nodded and went away leaving Elena and Stefan. Ella came out of the library with Lizzie and Hope.

"Mrs.." Before Hope could say it , Lizzie elbowed her hard and rushed forward.

" Aunt Elena." She hugged her hard.

" Damon , listen to me." Elena came entered before he could close the door.

" What do you want Elena?" Damon just sat down and didn't look at her.

" Did you know that those are or will be my kids?" She questioned.

" Yes."

" Why didn't you tell me?" Elena asked.

" We told Jenna today and Stefan didn't want to make it awkward for you." He just replied calmly , a concept foreign to him.

" Why are being so strange?" Elena asked him when none them spoke anything for some time. He just looked at her and shook his head.

Elena considered saying something but couldn't speak anything. She left the room but came back at door .

" Can you take me to the Decade Dance tonight?" She asked. Damon looked up and smiled sadly.

" Sure , Elena."

MJ entered with many books in her hands covering her face. Sam opened the door , empty-handed.

" I wish you would let me carry some of the books. "

" But I am strong so. "

" Being strong doesn't mean that you wouldn't bump in people. See just like this. " He got hold of MJ as she slipped her foot , making all the books fall from her hands. She bent down to pick them up.

" MJ."

" Yes, Elena?" She answered as she handed some of the books to Sam and got up. She turned around and gasped .

" Mom!" Her hands let the books fall again. She regained her posture and hugged her mother. She noticed Stefan and Elena staring at her and her mother. Caroline and Josie came back.

" Auntie." Josie came forward to hug her.

" How are you? I know it is hard adjusting." She rubbed Josie's arms in motherly way.

" I have excellent teachers and you should go back to MJ and her boyfriend." Josie smiled.

MJ turned red and shrieked.

" Not my boyfriend!!"

" Yet." Lizzie chimed in and high fived Josie. Sam chuckled and came forward with his hand.

" Hi , I am Sam." She shook his hand and smiled. She smiled at MJ.

" I would love to talk to you about more but I should get going. I will pick you at 5. " He told MJ who just nodded. He left the boarding house.

" What was that ?" She threw a pillow at Josie but missed it.

" We helped." Lizzie said and laughed.

" Whatever. " She looked at her mom who spoke.

" I am wondering how you are going to tell your dad. Especially when he said that you can date when you are 30." Her mother laughed.

" I don't want to witness a murder. I will deal with it then. " MJ concluded and sat down.

" Oh! I have to get ready. " She got up and rushed in her room.

" Hope ! Lizzie! Josie! Aren't you gonna help me?" She shouted from the room making them follow her .
