A/N - This chapter focuses on Earth II because I thought it was important to get to know the Earth II versions of the gang. We'll see how Earth II Stefan is dealing with being on Earth I in the next chapter.

Earth II

Stefan watches as Bonnie paces in the living room of the boardinghouse where she quickly dragged him to after he confirmed he wasn't the Stefan of this world. He had been surprised to see the changes in the room – it was much warmer and brighter than the one in his world. And it had become clear to him that Bonnie made some changes to the place.

"Okay first things first." She begins after she stops her pacing. "What exactly were you doing when the change happened?" Bonnie hopes that figuring out when the trade happen will give her some clues how to fix it.

"I was in this room, in the middle of my birthday party —"

"But you hate parties." Bonnie's brow furrows in confusion. "At least my Stefan hates them which is why we were planning on playing paintball instead." She adds when she remembers that the man standing in front of her might not necessarily share the same likes and dislikes as her Stefan.

"You're right I do hate parties." It feels good to finally be able to admit that to someone.

"Then why would you agree to one?"

"I didn't want to hurt their feelings." He continues when she still seems puzzled. "I haven't exactly had the best five months. I spent three of them underwater locked in safe. No one realized I was even missing for those months."

"How could they not know? How could I not know" Bonnie can't imagine not realizing that Stefan was missing.

"You were dealing with your own trauma and we aren't exactly all that close in my world." Bonnie frowns, she can't imagine not being able to talk to Stefan. "And I think the others just thought I left town because I didn't want to see Elena with Damon."

"You dated Elena?"

"Yeah." He nods cautiously afraid of hurting her feelings. "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing for something that happened in a world I've never lived in?" She seems genuinely confused. "I think it's a little weird, but I know how my Stefan feels about me and that's all that matters." She smiles before something occurs to her. "Wait…Did you say she's currently dating your brother?"

Now that's the part she's having the most trouble believing considering how much the Elena she knows hates Damon.

Stefan nods again before he starts to speak. "I guess that's why they assumed I wasn't around. By the time they figured out I had already been rescued and ever since then they've been trying to ease their guilt by 'fixing' me. The party was just the latest attempt."

Knowing that they've gotten slightly off track, Bonnie decides to get back on subject. "So, what were you doing at the party when you disappeared?"

"I was opening presents and one of the gifts I opened was some kind of rectangular box with several designs and markings on it." He continues when Bonnie nods. "It seemed interesting so I opened the box to get a closer look and that's when the change happened."

"Okay." Bonnie moves toward the coffee table and picks up her phone. "The first thing I'm going to do is call the others. I think we'll need all the help we can get with this." She quickly sends an emergency text to the others.

"And the second?" He looks at her sadly, hating that he's putting her through all this.

"You're going to have to stop feeling so guilty about this because it won't get us anywhere."She walks over to him and squeezes his shoulder.

"It is my fault. I shouldn't have opened that box without knowing who came from, especially after everything that's happened in the last few months."

"No, whoever sent you the gift is the one actually to blame. They knew you would open the box." She shakes her head in disagreement before sighing. "I'm so glad I managed to mostly knock this whole weight of the world thing out of my Stefan."

"You did a good job because you both seem happy based on the pictures I saw of you two."

"We are happy." She gives him a blinding smile and he feels a fluttering in his gut.

It happens so rarely in his world that Stefan always forgets what an amazing smile Bonnie has. He feels a sudden sadness when he realizes that his Bonnie hasn't smiled like that in a long time.

"Hey!" She lightly slaps at his chest. "Didn't I just say no brooding? I know that's going to be hard for you, but like I said before it gets us nowhere. The others will be here soon and then we can all figure out what the hell happened. Okay?"

"Okay."

She smiles at him again and Stefan has to admit there is a part of him that doesn't want to go back to his world. So far it's already a hundred times better here than his where he left.

"Oh, oh, oh—" Elena Gilbert moans as her boyfriend fucks her with his tongue, not caring at all that her juices are covering his face. Her legs are wrapped around his shoulders and her fingers are buried in his short hair as he holds her in place above him.

Definitely her favorite way to be eaten out.

While she has no complaints when he spreads her wide on the bed and devours her pussy or when she rides his face, being held in the air this way is the most pleasurable. Mostly because of the amount of the amount of strength he displays when he displays when he's holding her.

Her eyes close and her pleasure increases when he suddenly lets out a loud animalistic growl that echoes against her folds. She loves it when he does that. Loves that her scent and taste both make him lose control this way.

"I love how wet you are for me." Tyler Lockwood says against her mound as some of her arousal drips into his mouth. As far he's concerned nothing tastes better than his girlfriend's pussy and he has no problem admitting it. He shifts as his cock jumps, his sitting position causing it to tap against his stomach.

"Always wet for you." She groans as he continues to suck and lick at her folds. And yet again, Elena is glad she made the decision to have Caroline turn her into a vampire because she knows she would be exhausted by now if she were still human. The decision hadn't come lightly, she'd done so partly to stop Klaus from succeeding with his plan to make an army of Hybrids, but she has to admit there are a lot of perks to being a vampire.

"I could do this all day." He says as his hands hold her hips in place, her arousal like nectar on his tongue.

"Too bad we can't" Elena manages to get out between moans. "We only have a few hours before we have to leave for paintball." She finishes reminding him of the day of paintball they have planned for Stefan's birthday.

"Then we'll just have to make the most of the time we have right now, but just a fair warning we will definitely be picking up where we left off when we get back."

"And I will definitely be holding you to that." She says as she attempts to shove his face closer to her. "Because I plan on putting that stamina of yours to the test."

"Bring it on."He chuckles happily, knowing that it will be another long night for the both of them.

Still supernatural stamina aside, Tyler knows they both should be exhausted. They've been going at it for the last three days and except for occasional breaks for food and sleep, they haven't been away from each other at all.

It has to be a new record for them. Don't get him wrong; in the two years they've been together they've had their share of marathon sex, but it's never been this frantic or for so long. He knows it's because he had been gone for three weeks helping out a wolf pack. He hadn't wanted to leave her at all, but duty called. Of course the moment he was done, he immediately rushed to the lake house and now here they are days later, unable to get enough of each other.

Elena's back arches when his tongue thrusts deep inside her and he latches onto her clit. The move causes her pussy to drip even more and she knows her arousal has to be all over his face at this point.

"Mine!" He lets out another growl that is so loud that it not only vibrates against her pussy, it also echoes throughout the entire lake house. "Tell me, it's mine." He says as he continues sucking on her clit. "Please."

"It's yours, Tyler." She finally whimpers as her arousal heightens.

The sound of his name on lips causes his cock, already painfully hard to stiffen even more, obviously wanting in on the action. So to speed things up, he moves his tongue and lips in a way that he knows is guaranteed to bring his beautiful girlfriend to orgasm.

Elena tenses, her legs tightening around his shoulders, her nails digging into his scalp. She lets out a loud wail as her climax overtakes her, Tyler's greedy mouth lapping up every drop of her come.

Before she can even catch her breath, Tyler slides her down his body and impales her on his cock. She gasps in surprise and he chuckles smugly only to be surprised himself when Elena licks her residual come off his face.

Turned on, he pulls her into a heated kiss and starts thrusting into her with wild abandon. He knows he won't last that long so he doesn't even try to prolong things between them. Besides, he thinks as she her nails rake his back, they always have next time.

Elena clenches her inner muscles around him, her body thrashing and jerking every time their hips meet. The pleasure is so good; she feels her face briefly shifts into its natural vampire state.

Despite its briefness, Tyler notices the change and it brings him that much closer to his impending orgasm. Not wanting to come before her, Tyler moves his lips to her neck and takes a long lick. Her body jerks when his sneaks his hand in between their bodies and rubs her clit. He grins as he moves his mouth to her ear and nibbles on her earlobe before whispering, "Come for me Elena. Come for me – now!" He thrusts upward, intending on bringing her to orgasm.

"No. You come for me, Ty," She snarls at him and those words are all it takes for him to spill inside of her, Elena right behind him.

After they are spent the couple collapses together on the bed, Tyler still embedded inside of her.

"I love you." She grins against his chest when he instantly hardens inside of her.

"I love you more." He presses a kiss to her lips before flipping them over so Elena is flat on her back and stares intensely into her eyes.

She stares back just as intensely only to be interrupted by the beeping of her phone. She turns her head and spies her phone on the end table and debates whether or not she should check the message. After a few seconds of internal debate, she makes the decision to ignore it, only for Tyler's phone to start beeping as well.

Groaning in disappointment, Tyler slips out of her and rolls off away from her in order to pick up both phones. He hands Elena her phone just as she manages to sit up. "It's from Bonnie." He stiffens when he sees the system they all set up for emergencies.

Code 2 – Something's wrong with Stefan. Come to boardinghouse.

He relaxes slightly when he realizes the situation isn't life threatening. Code one is for life and death situations while code two is for situations that are still important, but not necessarily life threatening. Still, it doesn't mean it erases his worry completely.

"So is mine." She looks up with a frown as she climbs out of bed and heads to her closet for some clothes. "I guess we should have known the supernatural wouldn't leave us alone for birthdays." Elena grumbles remembering the debacle of Matt's birthday earlier in the year.

"If it's an important event, the supernatural is bound to follow." He agrees as he quickly responds to Bonnie's message.

We'll be there in ten. Sit tight

After he's done typing he slips out of bed as well and begins searching for the bag of clothes he has stashed in the room. Whatever's going on he can only hope it's not too difficult to fix because the last thing he wants is for either of his friends is pain.

"I can't believe you waited until the last minute to get your best friend a birthday gift." Caroline Forbes laughs at Matt Donovan as they make their way out of the music shop with Stefan's present ─ an acoustic guitar. "I bought my gift weeks ago." She grins smugly at him as they make their way to his SUV.

"Hey, we can't all be as efficient as you."Matt playfully narrows his eyes at her before he opens his trunk and places the gift there. "Besides it's hard to pick out a gift for a guy that never asks for anything" He closes the trunk and turns to face Caroline again.

"You're right. If it was up to Stefan, the only the gift he'd be getting is a naked Bonnie." Caroline chuckles as she remembers the vampire in question uttering those exact words a month ago when she was fishing for what to get him.

"Can't say I blame him at all." His eyes spark with arousal as he grins at Caroline. "What guy wouldn't want to spend his birthday having uninterrupted naked time with his beautiful girlfriend?"

"Is that supposed to be a hint for your next birthday?" She raises an amused eyebrow at him.

"Maybe." He brushes her cheek with thumb. "We know it would be huge turnaround from my last birthday." He shudders as he remembers his last birthday isolated from his girlfriend and friends for fear that he would kill them. Everything had been normal until his 18th birthday when he found out he had been destined to become a vampire hunter.

"Anything would be a step from that debacle." She agrees with a frown.

He'd been so afraid that he would kill the people most important to him he'd broken up with Caroline – something he regrets to this day – and left town. It hadn't been until Bonnie confronted him and she figured out what was really going on that he'd been able to control the urge to kill every vampire he came in contact with. Now he's able to distinguish between the good and bad vampires and be with Caroline without worrying about hurting her.

"Still, I will keep those thoughts in mind when it comes time for your next birthday." Caroline trails her

The two share a smile and are about to lean in for a kiss when Matt suddenly stiffens and fixes his gaze toward the alley of the store across the parking lot.

"What is it?" Caroline's gaze also moves toward the alley. "What do you sense?" She lowers her voice knowing the hunter in him senses something.

"Vampires. Lots of vampires." He mutters as they become surrounded by twenty vampires. Their clothes are messy and their hair is unkempt, making it clear they plan on causing some trouble. He looks around the parking lot and relaxes slightly when he realizes that there are no humans nearby.

"Well, well, well, look what have here." The leader of the group, Sonny taunts. "A vampire bitch and a hunter." He looks from Matt to Caroline and frowns when he smells the hunters scent all over the blonde vampire. "It's a damn shame you'd betray your own kind to fuck that."

He leers at her, making Caroline recoil in disgust and anger. "But that can be rectified and once the hunter here is dead, I'll take great pleasure fucking you into submission." Caroline stops herself from gagging when he grips the bulge in his pants

Matt growls in anger at Sonny's crude words and gesture, but stays put knowing that he has to wait to make his move to get them out of this mess.

"You disgust me. What makes you think I would ever let that happen?" Caroline folds her arms across her chest and glares at Sonny coldly.

"Never said you had to be willing. Sometimes it's more fun when they resist." The other men surrounding chime their agreement with their leader's words. "Besides I could always compel you into being our sex slave."

"I'll die before I'll let that happen." Matt snarls out.

"You won't have to wait long." Sonny snaps his fingers. "Attack." And the other vampires immediately jump into action.

Matt smirks inwardly, knowing he has the bastards right where he wants them. He briefly turns to Caroline and gives her reassuring smile as he pulls out a stake. 'I'll be alright.'

'You better be' She looks back at him before exhaling and getting into her own battle stance.

Matt turns away from her and when the first vampire attacks he immediately snaps his neck and stakes him. When four more flank him, two stakes appear from underneath his sleeves and he kills them as well.

In the meantime Caroline holds her own, managing to kill four vampires on her own. Realizing that his clan his dwindling, Sonny manages to tackle Caroline while she distracted knocking the wind out of her so she is unable to get up.

"Let's see how the hunter does without your help." Sonny watches from the sidelines, assuming that no longer having help from Caroline will result in Matt's demise.

When he sees her hit the ground, Matt feels his anger rise and he feels his power grow stronger as well. He grabs one of the vampires by the neck, stabs him through the heart and tosses him at six of the other vampires from thirty feet away. They all go down like bowling pins all lifelessly falling to the ground in a heap before exploding into dust.

Matt continues fighting until every vampire is gone except Sonny.

"Impressive." Sonny admits begrudgingly. "But it's fairly easy to kill these younger vampire's. Let's see how you do against some who is much older and smarter."

The two men lunge at each other and Sonny immediately punches Matt in the face, knocking him to the ground. He kicks him in the stomach and that's when Matt makes his move. He uses his leg to pull Sonny to the ground beside him. Before Sonny can even react Matt stabs him right through the heart.

"You may have been older, but you definitely weren't smarter." He grins at the surprised vampire before he too explodes into dust.

"Are you okay?" Matt rushes over to Caroline who managed to get to her feet during his battle with Sonny.

"Yeah." Caroline nods before she hauls him into a passionate kiss.

"Not that I'm complaining, but what was that for?" Matt asks when he pulls away to get some air.

"That was so hot." She leers at him and this time she's the one being dragged into a kiss.

Their lips move together happily and Matt is just about suggest they head to his place when he hears the beeping of two phones. They pull away to look at the message they were just sent, frowning when they see the message from Bonnie.

Wordlessly the two jump into his SUV and immediately pull out of the parking to head to the boardinghouse.

It doesn't take them long to get there and when the rush into the house, they realize Tyler and Elena are right in front of you as well.

"Do you know what this is about?" Caroline asks when she reaches Elena.

"No. We got the same message as you." Elena shakes her head as they walk through the hallway.

The foursome finally make their way into the living room and are surprised to see a pacing Bonnie and morose Stefan looking at the warily as though he doesn't know them. They have no idea that in a way he doesn't know these versions of them.

"Stefan, why are you looking at us like you don't know us?" Elena is the first to speak. "Please tell me this isn't another amnesia situation. Because dealing with an amnesiac Tyler was enough to last us for a life time." She says remembering the time Tyler lost all of his memories. That had been horrible so she really hopes that Bonnie won't have to deal with the same thing.

"Hey." He looks at his girlfriend, slightly offended by her tone.

Elena only shrugs in response. He'd been a dick when that happened and she doesn't feel bad about thinking it.

"No, it's not amnesia." Bonnie reassures them with a laugh. "But you're right he doesn't really know you. You're looking at a Stefan from an alternate world."

The foursome's gazes immediately lock on Stefan who continues to look back them cautiously.
