Hello, my lovely readers. We have role reversal in this chapter, some spoilers for my Mystic Falls series, and some AH-ness of the MF series. On with the show…

Chapter 7: Magic, Mischief and Mayhem

The events of the last year turned the quiet town of Mystic Falls into a war zone. Now that peace reigned once again, it was time to heal old wounds and to enjoy a national holiday, Halloween. Seventeen-year-old Stefanie Salvatore was looking forward to it. She'd sent her one-year-old, Sophie Donovan, off to the babysitter so she could have quality time with her cousin and best friend, eighteen-year-old, Sandra Bennett-Gilbert.

"Hey, honey," Sand said as she entered the Salvatore's household. Fan wrapped her arms around her friend, hugging her fiercely. "You ready for a night out?" Sandy asked with a lopsided grin.

"About that…" Fan ran a hand through her waist length black curls and shook her head. "I was thinking about having a night in. I grabbed some classic horror films. Scream. Halloween. Some crap Fred told me about."

"How are things going with Fred?" Sand's eyebrows rose and Fan shook her head.

"Popcorn?" Fan muttered, turning away from the green eyes that tried to pin her down. She did not want Sand's eyes to meet her ice blue ones and to see what was bothering her tonight.

"Sure," Sand replied. Fan heard the unzipping of a book bag. Leave it to Sand to bring her college work home with her.

The doorbell rang and Sand called to Fan. "Did you invite other people?" Fan knew who she meant. Sand did not want to deal with Jos while they were having one of their "will they, won't they" get back together and stay together moments. Fan felt grateful to not have to deal with that kind of drama. Unlike her parents who used to deal with it all the time, according to Elena's diaries which Fan might have read last year. It was a research.

Speaking of her parents. Elena was at work, fixing people up at the hospital. And dad was at the bar he owned, filling other people's glasses. He'd be home later. And Sam was at college, living in an off-campus apartment with his girlfriend of three years, Artemis Gerard.

"Sandy!" Sam's voice cried out and Fan placed her hand on her hip. Dropping a bag of popcorn on the counter, she strode around it to find her brother coming into the living room. He plopped his bag down and grinned at his sister. "Hey, kid!"

"Sam!" Fan moved across the floor and threw herself into her big brother's arms. "What are you doing here?"

"We got bored," Temis said, slipping from behind Sam and into the room. "You have food, yes? I need to eat." She strode over to the couch and fell down, sighing dramatically. "My feet hurt, Sam!" she moaned, wiggling her feet at him.

"Coming, dear," Sam called, winking at Fan and moving to join Temis.

Fan rolled her eyes. So much for a quiet night.

Thirty minutes later Temis had finished telling Fan and Sand how boring she found college so far. "We should have stayed in Europe," she told Sam, tossing her blonde curls over her shoulders.

"Probably," Sam said, grabbing a fistful of popcorn. "What's with the grimiore, Sandy?" he inquired, nodding at a heavy book in Sand's lap.

"Oh, well, I thought we could do a little magic tonight." Sand looked hopeful while the Salvatores exchanged a look.

"I don't think tonight is the best night to be doing that," Fan said, crossing her arms over her chest. There was a time she would jumped at the chance to do some magic, not now though. She had a kid to worry about.

"I want to," Temis proclaimed. "Come, Samuel. It will be fun. Aren't you tired of the dulldrum life we live nowadays?" She pressed a lingering kiss to Sam's neck before giving him a lingering look that made Fan roll her eyes to the ceiling.

"O-kay," Sam groaned and slid onto the floor. "What do we have to do?"

"We need some candles," Sand began and Fan tuned them out. This would go wrong. Just terribly wrong.

~0~

Fan watched, feeling helpless as Sand and Temis went over a spell to call their true loves and futures. This included chanting in Latin and Temis decided it included dancing around a pot. Grinding her teeth together, Fan kept her jaw shut tight against her protests.

After two minutes, Temis began to pout. "Nothing is happening. Stupid spell."

"It wasn't the spell," Sand argued, wrapping her black hair around her right hand and tying it back. "It's… I don't know what it is." She closed the book and got to her feet.

The doorbell rang and the sound of people arguing could be heard from the other side of the door. Sam sped over and pulled the door open. "Jacob?" He groaned before turning to face his sister. "Jake's here."

"Great," Fan fell back on the couch. Could it get worse? Hope Mikaelson came into the house, followed by her bickering sisters, Jos and Li. "Mom said I could," Li snapped at Jos.

"Klaus said you shouldn't," Jos snapped back, her cheeks turning crimson.

"He's not my boss," Li retorted.

"No, he's our other dad now. And you should show him some respect," Jos snarled before turning to face Sand. "Hi," she said and then blushed before moving to find something in the kitchen.

Theo and Freddy entered the house and Fan dug deeper into the couch. She'd been upset and kissed Freddy last night. And she did not want to talk to him today.

"Are we having a party?" Theo asked, looking around the room.

"No!" Fan shouted, getting to her feet. "I need to get out of here!"

Fan pushed past the others, moving toward the doorway when she heard Li say, "What stinks in here?"

"Watch your step!" Sand yelled and then she let out a shout. "Damn it, Li!"

"I'm sorry. Oh, now it really stinks! What did you do, use skunk!" Li demanded.

Fan had to get out of here. Now! She pushed the front door open and plunged into the night air. Her feet took her down the sidewalk and she heard her friends and family calling her back. Taking off at a run, Fan inhaled and exhaled. She was still a human, would always be a human, as the cure to what ailed vamps, but she would enjoy the idea that she could outrun her vampire brother, and his tri-brid girlfriend.

"Excuse me!" a voice called. "Do you know how to get to the Salvatore's?"

Peering at a man who stood ten feet away, Fan stopped dead in her run. "Dad?" she cried, blinking rapidly.

"I'm sorry," the man said, moving closer to her. Fan felt her heart speed up. This guy looked like a seventeen-year-old version of her father. "Did you call me 'Dad?'" He looked perplexed and Fan let out a giggle. She did not mean to it. It just came out.

"Sorry, mister. You just look a lot like my dad." Fan held out a hand. "I'm Stefanie."

Damon Salvatore frowned. "Stefanie?" He came closer to her and looked her over. "Is this a joke? Did Stefan put you up to this? I'll find the little scoundrel and show him what is funny. To use a woman in such a way. He may be only ten years of age but he must learn to behave properly. Father will blame me…" Damon's thoughts seemed to be confused and Fan placed a hand on his arm to help him focus.

"Would you like to get some coffee?" Fan asked gently.

"Yes," Damon nodded and he moved toward one of the houses. "Hopefully one of the neighbors will be so kind as to offer us some."

"Help me!" a female voice cried and Damon's eyes sharpened and he looked around.

A car rolled down the road, a group of teen boys laughed and shook their fists at Fan and Damon. Damon shoved Fan behind him. "Do not worry, I will protect you from these…creatures."

Fan giggled again. Oh, boy, she was becoming hysterical. "Help!" the woman cried again and Fan's head whirled in that direction.

"I must help this woman. You should go back into your home," Damon told Fan. Without another word, Damon took off at a run. Fan groaned and took off after him.

They stopped at the end of the street to find a woman shaking her head and she screamed when another car nearly hit her. "Rebekah?" Fan cried.

Damon ran to Rebekah. "It is alright, ma'am. I will escort you to safety."

Shaking her head, Fan had a bad feeling when a strong pair of arms encircled her waist and Klaus Mikaelson's voice sounded in her ear. "Isn't she a pretty one, Elijah? I think I might turn her or make her my wife."

"Hell no!" Fanny groaned, and elbowed Klaus. It hurt like hell but Klaus seemed shocked and loosened his grip. "Let him go!" she yelled at Rebekah who almost had her fangs in Damon's neck.

"Niklaus, calm yourself," Elijah's voice came from somewhere close and Fanny jumped when he appeared before her. "We do not know where we are and we do not want to alert the local humans."

"You won't," Jacob called, entering the street and joining them. He was smirking and Fan felt her stomach knot. You never knew what Jake would do.

"Let go of him, mother!" Artemis's voice came from close by and then she tore Damon from Rebekah's grip, tossing him into Sam's arms.

Rebekah hissed at her daughter, showing her fangs and Artemis hissed right back at her. With a cry of shock, Rebekah's human features returned. "What are you?" she asked, Artemis, touching her daughter's cheek.

"I'll tell you, if you promise to behave," Artemis said, taking her mother's hand in her own with a smile.

"Damon?" another voice called and Stefan Salvatore came to join them. Only he was the same age as Damon. "How is this possible?"

"Li, you really screwed up this time," Jos snapped at her sister.

"Me?" Li shouted. "I didn't do this!" she shouted, coming to join the rest of the group. "This is all Sand's fault."

"Let's just go back to the house and deal with it then," Sam called and everyone made their way back to the house.

Fan entered first and felt her heart stop. Elena Gilbert, Jeremy Gilbert, Bonnie Bennett, and Caroline Forbes were already there. And they were all seventeen-years-old.

"Okay. What the hell is going on here?" Caroline demanded, hand on her hip. "Damon, what did you do this time?"

"Me?" Damon lifted his chin. "I do not know you, miss."

"The hell you don't," Caroline snapped.

"Maybe he doesn't," Elena argued. "How do you explain Jer being our age?"

"I…" Caroline shook her head. "This is too weird."

"Tell me about it," Jos said, walking over to examine her mother. "You think dad's around here, somewhere?"

"Probably," Li added. "Let's go find him."

"Not without mom," Jos said.

"Whose mom?" Caroline asked, folding her arms over her chest.

"I do not like this place," Rebekah stated.

Damon sighed. "I think my brother and I should return home, before father finds us missing."

"I think your dad is probably dead," Elena said gently.

"He is?" Stefan looked shocked, and maybe a little relieved.

"You killed him," Jacob offered and Stefan and Damon turned to stare at Jake.

"He's kidding," Sam said, clapping Jake on the shoulder. "Such a kidder," he grinned at Jake who shrugged.

"We're going out to find the others, right?" Li piped up, looking at the others for confirmation.

"Yeah," Jos snapped. "Let's go."

"I'm going to stay here with my…" Fan stopped herself. "With Elena, Damon, and Stefan. The rest of you should go."

Jake shook his head. "I am staying with my father." He really did not seem to care if he traumatized poor Stefan.

"Who is your dad?" Elena asked Jake.

"Him," Jake nodded at Stefan.

"Oh," Elena blushed.

"You're not the mother," Fan blurted.

"Oh," Elena looked a little disappointed.

Stefan rubbed his temples. "I'm a father? How?"

"Valerie," Jake told him.

Stefan's eyes widened. "She had a baby?"

"Bye," Jos called and a number of people and non-people left the house.

"Yes," Jake stated, "Come. Sit. We'll chat."

Hope went into the kitchen and came back out with a tray of tea and snacks. "Aren't you going with the others?" Fan asked Hope who shook her head. "No. My dad's staying behind. With Caroline." She nodded at Caroline and Klaus who were curled up in a corner. That happened fast.

Shaking her head, Fan looked at her parents. "So, do you have any questions?"

"Yes. Who are you?" Elena sat across from Fan. And watched the girl.

"I'm your daughter. With him," Fan nodded at Damon.

"Really?" Elena's eyes widened. "But I'm with Stefan."

"You changed. And Damon's… Dad's a human. And you have two kids. Me and Sam," Fan held out a hand and Sam came over to join them. "He's my older brother."

"Oh, my God!" Elena began to cry and got up, holding her arms to them. "My babies."

Fan broke down and began to cry and another pair of arms encircled them. Fan opened her eyes to find Damon hugging them, too. She felt like this Halloween could not get better. But it wasn't over yet.

An hour later, the search party returned with teenage Alaric and Hayley. Hope seemed happy to see her mom again although Hayley was reluctant to believe she had a grown daughter. A teenage Jake appeared and Fan wanted to return him as soon as possible since their Jake was a little too happy about having two of him around. Artemis pulled a teenage Marcel into the house. Funny, Fan would have thought he'd be in New Orleans. And Jos and Li found a teenage Valerie Tulle wondering around the Town's Square, looking for Stefan.

Noting that there were way too many people in the house, Fan suggested they take things out to the pool area. Thankfully, Dad made one, years ago. "Everyone, let's go out back!" she called to them. She waved both arms above her head and the others followed her lead, for once.

Once they were situated outside, on a night warm enough for the pool, the teens began to get into the water. Fan shook her head as her father frowned at Stefan who readily stripped down with Valerie and got into the pool. Rebekah splashed her brother and Elena talked Damon into the pool, tossing her top in his face.

Going back inside, Fan heard the doorbell ring and she went to answer it. Her heart stopped when she came face-to-face with seventeen-year-old, Todd Donovan. "Todd?" she cried out.

"Hey, Fan," he said. "Wow. You looked different." Todd paused, taking a lock of her black hair between his fingers. "Good different."

"I missed you," Fanny sobbed and threw her arms and legs around Todd. "I missed you so much." Grief washed over. And joy. "I owe Sand a huge Christmas present this year," she moaned into Todd's neck.

"Okay," Todd replied. He pulled back and looked her in the eye. "Are you okay, Fan?"

"Yeah," Fan dropped back down so her feet met the floor. "You want to meet my parents?"

"I thought we could go up to your room," Todd whispered back. "Since I already met them. Did whatever spell we're under do something to your brain, baby?" He pressed his nose into her hair and his hand slid over her stomach.

"Come with me, Todd," Fan dragged him through the hall and out back.

"Oh. Wow!" Todd breathed, looking shocked at the others. "What is going on?"

"Time travel. Spells gone wrong. And a lot of joy tonight," Fan pulled Todd into a deep kiss. "Sand said the spell would being my true love and my future. It looks like our futures are wrapped up in our past."

"Oh," Todd nodded. "Am I your past or your true love?" His brown eyes shone in the light of the stars.

"A little of both," Fan replied. "Now, let's go play chicken with my parents, watch horror movies, eat too much chocolate and spend the best Halloween night ever."

Damon struggled with playing chicken. "Why would two girls sit on two men's shoulders, trying to knock each other into the water?" he asked them.

"Because it's fun," Elena explained.

"I will take your word for it," Damon replied. "Prepare to be defeated, daughter."

"Not a chance," Fan replied, laughing.

Damon preferred the chocolate to the films and Elena seemed to get used to the idea of their being a couple easily, settling into his arms during the movie. Fan grinned at Sam when Elena and Damon fell asleep. "They're so cute."

"But we can't keep them," Sam reminded her.

"I know," Fan replied, she glanced at Todd who was watching a zombie movie with relish.

The front door opened and Damon came in. "Does someone want to explain to me why Elena had to stitch up Tyler Lockwood?" he demanded, entering the house with Tyler and Elena.

"Well…" Fan looked at the other Elena and Damon. "It's a long story. Happy Halloween, Mom and Dad." She smirked at them as they took in their teenage selves along with the other teens. "Popcorn? Chocolate? Time travel, anyone?"
