"Mia!"Dom called out to Mia who was inside, basting the chicken with more barbecue sauce while Elena grabbed the ones that were done and was putting them in the bowl."The chicken's dry."He added while Leon and Letty, who now had nothing to do, played against each other with the basketball.

"All right."Mia said as she, Jesse, and Brian came out, carrying food or drinks."I'm coming out already."

Mia walked over to Dom, who hugged her around the neck, causing her to almost drop the salad bowl. Brian, Jesse, Leon, and Letty just moved quietly to the table, putting the condiments in the middle of the table before sitting down along with Mia.

A few minutes later, Elena and Dom came with the chicken and sat down. Dom was sitting at the head of the table with Elena on his lap, Mia sat to his right with Letty next to her, while Jesse sat on Dom's left with Brian next to him and Leon sat at the end of the table.

Jesse grabbed a chicken wing from the bowl."Hey, hold up."Dom said, pointing at the young Werewolf."Because you were the first to reach in to get the chicken, you say grace."

"Every time Jesse, don't you ever learn?"Elena asked jokingly as Jesse smiled bashfully in her direction before everyone either closed their eyes or clasped their hands together.

"Dear heavenly, uh..."Jesse began, only to trail off as he looked for the words.

"Spirits."Leon said.

"Spirit. Thank you."Jesse said to Leon."Thank you for providing us with a direct port nitrous injection, four core inter-coolers and ball-bearing turbos, and titanium valve springs. Thank you."

"Amen!"They all said cheerfully and clapped.

"Not bad!"Dom, smiling at Jesse.

"He was praying to the car gods, man."Letty said and Mia and Elena laughed.

Just as they started to eat, Leon noticed Vince."Look who it is. 'Old Coyotes 'R' Us.'"Everyone turned to Vince and Leon barked a laugh."I thought you weren't hungry, pumpkin."

"You know, I gotta eat."Vince shrugged.

"He's always hungry."Letty said with a deadpanned look, and if you didn't know her, you'd wouldn't know she was being sarcastic.

Elena looked up at Dom."Told ya."

Dom, who looked as if he was deciding on something, smirked down at her."All right, sit down."He told Vince, making a gesture for him to take a seat.

After getting the all clear from Dom, Vince kissed him on the back of the head before he ruffled Dom's head in a brotherly way and kissed Elena on the cheek as thanks and she patted the side of his cheek in a way of saying;"You're welcome.".

As everyone dug into their food, Dom watched Brian and Vince, having noticed the Alpha Male shit that was going on between them but made no comment on it.

"So, Brian."Dom said, gaining Brian's attention, along with everyone else's attention."Why'd you decide to run away from home?"

Brian paused and raised an eyebrow at him before glancing at Elena."You didn't tell 'em?"

"Not my place."Elena stated calmly, shrugging."All I told them was that I had a Brother in all but blood who helped me get out of that hellhole of a house."

"So, Buster?"Letty prompted, raising an eyebrow at Brian.

"Got into one too many fights with my old man. I couldn't handle living in the same house as him any more, so I decided to leave."Brian said cryptically."I found Elena"Brian pointed at Elena."wondering around and was gonna take her back home, but after what she told me, I knew I had to get us both out of that hellhole of a town."He added and Elena smiled at him.

"And I can never repay you for that. You saved me, Bri."She added, causing the group to pause and look at Elena oddly or in some cases worriedly, especially Dom, whose grip slightly tightened around her waist, but she took no notice.

"No need."Brian said, shaking off her gratitude like he did all those years ago when they left Mystic Falls."What are Best Friends for?"

"Nah, it's; What are Siblings for?"Elena corrected Brian, who smiled widely at her and shook his head.

"So, if it wasn't for you, Elena wouldn't be here with us?"Jesse asked in a soft voice, eyes wide.

"Yep."The duo said in unison, but didn't say anything more on the subject, so it was dropped and the group fell into a light chatter of different subjects.


While everyone was settling down for the movie later that night, Mia went to the dishes since it was her turn and Brian went to help her. Vince went into the kitchen to get the popcorn that Jesse and Leon wanted.

Elena, who was snuggling into Dom's side, snickered as she listened to the conversation in the kitchen, rather than what was on the TV. Dom raised an eyebrow at her but she shook her head before making subtle gesture in Vince's, who looked upset and pissed off at the same time, direction.

Dom's eyes lit up with amusement and understanding."There's no popcorn?"Leon stated questionably.

"Make your own goddamn popcorn!"Vince growled out as he whacked Leon's and Jesse's legs.

"You know you haven't taken me out on a date in a while."Elena suddenly mumbled.

"Haven't I?"Dom mumbled back.

"Nope."Elena said, shaking her head."I wanna go on a date."

"Oh yeah? When?"Dom mumbled, glancing down at her.

"Tomorrow night."Elena said confidently.

"I can work with that."

"Good, or else you would have been sleeping out here."

"You wouldn't."

"Yes I would."


"Where were you?"Was the thing Dom was greeted to when he got inside his room and found Elena standing there, arms crossed, her hair, although it was short, was tied up, and was wearing a tank top and sleep shorts.

"Shit."Dom muttered, forgetting that he and Elena had a date tonight.

"Yeah."Elena said, nodding slightly with a pissed off look on her face."Where were you?"Elena echoed her earlier question.

"With Vince and the Buster."Dom said as he closed the door.

"Yeah? Where? Why?"Elena said, walking over to him, obviously not believing him.

"At Hector's Garage."Dom said, turning to Elena and put his hands on her hips."Vince saw the Buster sneak in and called him a cop."

Elena's eyes narrowed and she shook her head."He can't be a cop, Dom."Elena said, scoffing."Brian isn't a narc!"She added sharply when she saw the uncertain look in Dom's eyes."He's a Warlock, and we all know that there is barely anyone from the Supernatural World that takes up those types of careers."Elena said, laughing sarcastically."He's my Brother, Dom, and he hates Cops as much as Vince does."

"Yeah, I know."Dom said as his hands slid to her ass."He was there to check out the competition. We even checked Tran's place."

"Tran's place?"Elena pulled herself out of Dom's grip."Johnny Tran's Garage!?"Elena exclaimed."Are you crazy!? Wait, don't answer that."Elena quickly added."Of course you're crazy, you're jacking trucks for fuck sake."

Dom frowned as he quickly grabbed Elena by the wrists to make her look at him."No one got hurt. No one's gonna get hurt."

"You don't know that Dom and neither do I."Elena grumbled.

"No one's gonna get hurt. I promise."Dom said softly as he brought Elena into his arms and held her in a loving embrace.

"Don't make promises you know you can't keep, Dom."Elena mumbled.


"Where's Letty?"Dom asked Elena as she came over to the tent from the trailer.

"Racing."Elena said before glaring at the girl."Get lost, skank."Elena hissed at the girl who Dom had been talking to and she quickly did as she was told.

"We were only talking."Dom said and Elena turned back to him.

"I know, I just don't care, as long you don't let them kiss you or else I might just wolf out on every skank I see."Elena warned him.

Before Dom could say anything, Leon called out to them."Yo!"Leon came running over to them and slapped Vince on the knee."Head's up bro."He slapped Dom on the arm."We got problems."

"What?"Dom asked and Leon pointed at where the races took place.

"Jesse."Leon said, pointing out Jesse's car to the trio.

"Where's Jesse going?"Dom asked in confusion at seeing Jesse race off in his car.

"He just ran Tran for slips."

"Oh shit..."Dom whispered, rubbing his face.

"Oh fuck."Elena choked out, seeing Tran's car come racing towards them as Letty came to stand next to her."Dom, don't do anything stupid."Elena muttered to Dom as Tran got out, looking pissed off.

"Where's he going?"Tran asked as Dom walked up to him and Dom pulled Elena behind him while Vince got in front of Letty protectively.

"He went to the car wash."

"Whatever. Go fetch my car."

"Go fetch your car?"Dom echoed, eyes narrowed."We're not on your block anymore."He said, shaking his index finger at Tran."You better watch who you talk to like that."Dom said, pointing at Tran before he turned and started walking away

"Toretto! Toretto!"Tran barked out causing Dom to stop walking and turned back to him."SWAT came into my house, disrespected my whole family, because somebody narked me out."Dom's eyes narrowed."And you know what? It was you!"

Dom suddenly punched Tran, sending him to the ground."Dom!"Elena exclaimed, eyes wide.

As soon as Dom had thrown the first punch, it was like everyone lost it and started fighting, which caught the security guards attention. Dom then jumped on him and started to beat him up. The security guards had to try and break it up.

After a couple more punches, Dom was pulled off of Tran by a security guard. Elena looked around, seeing Letty trying to help the security guards in holding people back and caught sight of Lance coming towards them.

Reacting, Elena held him back by placing her palm on his chest and quickly sucker punched him across the face. The force of her punch not only caused his head to snap to the side but for his whole body to whirl around and he landed on his face.

Elena turned back to find Dom being grabbed by Vince, Leon, and the security guard, and were dragging him away from Tran, who had turned on his stomach, spitting up spit mixed in with blood.

"Dom, chill out, man!"Vince yelled."Come on!"

"Elena, get over here!"Leon yelled and Elena ran over to them, dodging other security guards.

"Come on! I never narked on nobody! I never narked on nobody!"Dom snarled, trying to get out of the security guard's and Vince's grip as Elena came to stand in front of him.

"Dom! Dominic!"Elena exclaimed, trying to get Dom's attention, seeing his eyes flash yellow in his rage."Hey, hey, look at me! Don't look at him, look at me!"Dom's yellow eyes shifted and stared at her."Yeah, that's it."Elena said, putting her hands on Dom's cheeks and watched as Dom's eyes turned back to brown."We know you don't nark on people. You ain't like that."Seeing that Elena had managed to calm Dom down, the security guard let go."C'mon."Elena said, lightly pushing at Dom to head back to the tent."Let's go, leave him."Elena said, letting Vince and Leon help pull Dom away from the crowd.
