AN: this is just something that came to me randomly when I saw the pics of Candice in Paris on the bike tour and etc. It's a bit cute so I hope you're amused.

"It'll be fun! Please?!" Caroline begged

Klaus groaned and finally relented.

"Fine" Klaus said

"Yes! You'll see! It'll be fun!" Caroline clapped

Klaus hated the idea, but for some reason Caroline really wanted to do a bike tour in France. And so that's how the hybrid found himself sitting on a blue bicycle peddling next to Caroline who was so excited. The group of bikers biked through Paris, through the small streets and then stopped at a small bakery where they had a small lesson in making macaroons.

Caroline was eager to make them. She mixed the batter and flour and tried to squeeze the batter out of the pastry bag. She tried to make her cookies the right shape, but sadly they came out oval instead of circular and they were all different sizes. Caroline looked at her bright yellow cookies, all strangely shaped and sighed. She glanced over at Klaus who managed to make all his perfectly uniform and perfectly circular. That and the fact that there wasn't any flour on him, while she was covered in it. They baked the cookies and Caroline's came out all uneven. They didn't bake with the "foot" they were suppose to and ended up looking like cookies. Klaus's batch came out perfect. She looked at the dark red cookies he made and sighed. Klaus kissed her on her cheek.

"I'm sure yours are just as lovely" Klaus said

Caroline tried to put the baking fiasco behind her, as they placed their macaroons in their boxes and continued biking to their next location. They stopped at a small cafe where they were showing them how to make crepes. Caroline watched with fascination at how the old lady effortlessly made the crepe. Caroline attempted to make one, she placed the batter in the center of the large metal griddle. She quickly moved the wooden stick to spread it around in the circle, but she didn't do it evenly and there were holes. She tried desperately to flip it before it ripped but it fell onto the floor. Klaus came up from behind her and placed his arms around her.

"Let's try this again shall we love?" Klaus said

He poured the batter onto the griddle and taking her hand he helped her smooth the batter in a circular motion quickly and evenly. He then flipped it quickly, without breaking it or dropping it. He even folds it neatly into a cone and gives to her. He smiles and kisses her on the forehead and rejoins the group.

They continue their bike tour, going past the countryside, Caroline sees a mother duck and her ducklings cross the road and stops abruptly. She goes flying off her bike and scrapes her hands. Klaus is next to her in an instant. Her scrapes heal but not her ego. He helps her up and they continue to bike. They end up in Versailles, and she is in awe. Her head snaps up to the ceilings and is amazed. Klaus looks around while the rest of their group is looking up and snapping pictures.

"You were probably here when they built it" Caroline said

"You're right love, I was. Though it was quiet smellier back then"

"Why?"

"They didn't have running water, going to the toilet wasn't as easy as it is now"

"Ew"

"And corsets back then were so dreadfully annoying. So many laces"

"And I'm sure you just ripped them apart just like everything else"

"I've had years of practice love"

Caroline leaves him and walks into the hall of mirrors. She looks around and wonders what it would have been like to be a lady, a courtesan dancing here. She doesn't have to wonder much when she sees Klaus staring at her.

They continue on their bikes, and end up at a lake. They eat their lunches and Caroline looks at her misshapen macaroons. Klaus sits next to her offering her his box of macaroons. She looks at them and then back at hers. She sighs.

"What's wrong love?" Klaus asks

"You can say it, I told you so"

"About what?"

"This was a stupid idea. All of it was. I just thought, nevermind. This is stupid" Caroline said

Caroline took one of her macaroons out of the box and threw them into the lake.

"Not even the fish will want to eat it" Caroline said

"Why are you like this? You wanted to do this. I came along with you because this is what you wanted. Now you're upset, and I don't know why"

"You're perfect, everything you do is perfect which is so beyond annoying right now"

Klaus smirked as he placed his arm around her and pulled her closer.

"I know I am perfect, I've had about a thousand years to perfect everything, but that's not why I love you"

Caroline inhaled sharply at his admission.

"Being with you here, seeing everything through your eyes for the first time, trying everything again, it's all so refreshing. You're excited and eager to try new things, you're not afraid. Though your baking skills do need some improvement"

"Hey! I can bake!"

"Not macaroons apparently"

"Hey!"

Klaus took a yellow macaroon from her box and took a bite. He coughed a little and threw it towards the lake.

"we'll work on your crepe making skills then"

See our big bag hybrid can be cute when he wants to be!
