Elena's dream is interupted by her ringtone, she opens bleary eyes to stop the noise. Caller ID says it's Elijah though, so Elena answers it.

"You're awake." Elijah says instead of going with another greeting, like sorry for waking you up love of my life, or should I let you get back to sleep?

"Thanks to you, I am. Everything okay?" Elena asks, the colors are fine, so she knows that at least he's fine.

"I was wondering if you were free today or if you had plans." Elijah sounds like he's up to something and he's getting closer, the colors are brighter.

"I did have plans to sleep in." Elena informs him, she wants to pull her comforter over her head and sleep for a while longer. Elijah pauses.

"Any plans other than that?" He asks and Elena laughs.

"I'm sensing that you want me to get out of bed and have plans with you." Elena says.

"You guessed correctly." Elijah tells her and asks if she'll be out of bed by the time he gets to her house.

"Maybe." Elena says and he laughs.


She's still not out of bed, comforter over her head. Elijah slips off his shoes and sits next to her, carefully pulling the comforter away from her pillow.

"Elena." He draws out her name in that way of his that she knows she likes.

"You're the worst." Elena complains with a voice edged with sleep, eyes still closed, hand trying to find the edge of the comforter to pull it back down.

"You love me anyway." He says, the words slip out before he can think about it.

"I do. Even when you don't let me sleep." Elena replies sleepily.

"So you don't want to get out of bed and have breakfast with me?" Elijah wonders and Elena groans.

"Will there be coffee?" She asks and Elijah knows she'll be up in a few minutes.


It's nice to get away from Mystic Falls, but Elena's pretty sure he just wants to get away from everyone else. His house is lovebird central save for Kol, and the morning's bright, promising warm weather. The roads aren't too busy, Elena stretches as she looks out the window.

"So the plan's breakfast?" Elena asks and Elijah keeps his eyes on the road.

"After breakfast, whatever you want. Except going back to sleep." Elijah tells her with a straight face and she rolls her eyes.

"So demanding." She jokes and Elijah glances over to see her face to make sure she isn't serious.

"Any ideas?" Elijah asks and Elena shakes her head.

"Surprise me." Elena decides and he has a wonderful grin on his face with that answer.


"You play music?" Caroline asks and Klaus nods, hands ghosting over a guitar. She could easily see him being a famous musician in another life. There aren't very many times where she hates being a vampire, but there are possibilities like that one that make her wish she could be human to do it.

"I do too. I haven't practiced in a while but I'm okay on guitar and I can sing." Caroline tells him and Klaus looks at her with a grin.

"I think I'm a little out of practice too. But we could fix that, if you want." Klaus suggests.

"I do." Caroline says and he picks a guitar for her to start on.


"Your hair was bloody awful." Rebekah laughs and Stefan rolls his eyes.

"Everyone had hair like that." He defends himself and Rebekah laughs harder.

"We're not looking at pictures of everyone, though." Rebekah reminds him and flips the page in the book of pictures.

"What the hell were you wearing?" Rebekah asks, and Stefan doesn't even try to defend himself.

"It was the nineties." He excuses and Rebekah brushes some of her hair out of her face.

"Clearly, you need me so you don't look ridiculous." Rebekah jokes and he shrugs.

"Maybe." Stefan answers.
