HELLO! Due to popular demand, here's the sequel to Three Tuxedos! It's called Three Tuxedos: College Anyone? and will be about the girls and their original vampire boyfriends at College.

There are a few things I'd like to say to start off.

1. I am from New Zealand. You know what that means? I don't know much about American College. I myself am only starting my first year of university this year (In March). What all this means is I'll probably write what it's like to go to College 100% wrong. This is because my only resources for what it's like are Glee, Gossip Girl, Pitch Perfect (what reliable sources :P) and a little research online and my own experiences.

2. There are going to be some bad guys and a sinister plot going on this time round, but that won't stop our couples from enjoying their college life.

3. There will be a return of the tuxedos YAY :D (It wouldn't be Three Tuxedos without some tuxedos now would it)

4. Just like the last one, there's going to be loads of symbols, meaningful stuff and parallels to Three Tuxedos going on right from the first word.

5. ENJOY THE STORY! REVIEWS ARE THE BEST THINGS IN THE WORLD. I'm originalsintuxedos on tumblr. Follow me!


"Oh, Elena, I wish you could have been there!" Caroline Forbes exclaimed as she, Elena Gilbert and Elijah Mikaelson sat in the Forbes living room.

"We saw the Eiffel tower and the Arc de Triomph in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome and you wouldn't believe how amazing Tokyo is!" Caroline continued.

Elena smiled at her best friend. "Sounds like you and Klaus had a great summer break." She said, referring to Caroline's 1000 year old hybrid boyfriend, Klaus Mikaelson. The two had been dating since Prom some months ago.

"It was… I can't even begin to describe how incredible it was. And being there with Klaus made it so much better. He knew like everything about Rome, Paris and Tokyo. He was the ultimate tour guide."

Elijah smirked at the praise about his younger brother. "Yes, but usually tourists aren't in a relationship with their tour guides." He joked.

Caroline glared at him. "Very funny." She said sarcastically. "Like you two didn't spend the whole summer together."

Elena locked gaze with Elijah.

It was true; they had spent every day together since graduation. It had been wonderful but there was one thing in particular that Elijah wouldn't stop talking about.

And it was beginning to annoy the hell out of Elena.

Elena turned back to Caroline, a hint of a smile on her face. "Yeah we did, but unlike you and Klaus, Elijah and I aren't really into the whole public displays of affection thing."

Caroline scoffed in response. "At least we're not as bad as Kol and Bonnie. I'm glad Klaus and I were away for the summer. Those two can't keep their hands off of each other! And we'll have to put up with it at College as well!"

Bonnie Bennett was Elena and Caroline's best friend and Kol was Elijah and Klaus' younger, more outgoing brother.

Kol and Bonnie were even more inseparable than either Klaus and Caroline or Elena and Elijah. The two of them had spent the entire summer together. Kol was also going with Bonnie to Charlottesville University.

That's where Caroline was going as well and Klaus had said he'd follow her anywhere.

Caroline and Bonnie had been ecstatic when they'd heard that's where Elena planned to go as well.

Elijah, however, wouldn't stop talking about Elena's other option. But she was adamant with her decision.

"Elena, why don't you tell Caroline what you should have told her months ago?" Elijah said knowingly, raising his eyebrows and looking at Elena.

Elena glared at him in annoyance. Here we go again.

"Tell me what?" Caroline asked innocently, looking from Elijah to Elena.

"Um… it's just…" Elena stammered, trying to come up with an answer. She couldn't believe he was doing this! How many times did she have to tell him? She'd made up her mind and she was sticking to it!

Elena got a stroke of inspiration. "I just should have told you that I can't wait to be roomies with you and Bonnie!"

Caroline squealed in delight. "I know right! But they've got limited rooms for three people so I hope we get one…" Caroline continued rambling obliviously and Elena could feel Elijah's eyes burning into her. She refused to meet his gaze. She couldn't bear to see the disappointment there.

A little while later, Elijah stood up from the couch. "I think it's time Elena and I were going." He said in a dark voice.

Caroline stood up too, a little dejectedly. "Oh… Ok. Well, thank you guys for coming over. I know I talked way too much."

Elena smiled and pulled Caroline in for a hug. "No, it was amazing to hear about your trip. I can't wait until we're at college together."

Elijah frowned at her comment but Elena ignored him. The two of them left Caroline's and made their way back to Elena's in silence.

When they got to the house, Elijah didn't open her car door for her or anything else of his usual chivalry. He just walked beside her in cold silence to the house.

Elena's younger brother, Jeremy was upstairs as usual. He'd been relatively quiet all summer. Elena had told him to go hang out with Matt or a friend from school. Jeremy had just scoffed and replied that the only person he wanted to spend time with was always busy.

This had confused Elena but it was soon gone from her mind.

Elena started making dinner for her and Jeremy while Elijah leant up against a wall. She knew that he would talk eventually.

Elena finished making the dinner and went past Elijah and around to the staircase. She called Jeremy's name and then sat down at the table. Elijah sat down silently opposite her. He was staring at her but Elena managed to look anywhere but at him.

Jeremy bounded down the stairs and came over to the table.

"Oh sweet, pasta." He said, sat down and began gorging himself with food.

Elena tried to move the fork to her mouth but she was finding it quite hard to eat with Elijah glaring at her.

Jeremy looked up at Elijah. "Aren't you having any?" He asked, oblivious to the original's aloofness.

Elena internally breathed a sigh of relief as Elijah removed his gaze from her to look at Jeremy.

"No thank you, Jeremy. I'm not really in the mood to eat anything right now." Elijah replied, politely.

Jeremy shrugged his shoulders and went back to the pasta. Elena tensed up once more when Elijah returned his piercing gaze to her.

Elena had never seen it this bad. He was usually so kind and warm to her until one of them mentioned college and then Elijah would end up getting mad. But he'd never resorted to the silent treatment.

At least until now.

So Elena was surprised when he started to speak again. "Jeremy, if Elena had an opportunity to get an excellent education, but it meant her moving further away, wouldn't you want her to go?"

Elena rolled her eyes and stabbed her fork into the pasta forcefully.

Jeremy looked surprised. "Um, yeah sure I guess. If that's what's best."

"But it isn't, Elijah!" Elena said heatedly, finally meeting his gaze. "If I go to Charlottesville University, I'm here close to Jeremy and Matt, plus I get to be with Caroline and Bonnie. And you, if you've forgotten, get to be close to your brothers since they'll be with the girls."

"Firstly," Elijah began calmly. "Jeremy, I'm sure is capable of looking after himself. Secondly, Matt has Rebekah and also he's been fending for himself for many years now, is that not correct?"

Elena rolled her eyes again but Elijah was not put off and continued his list.

"Thirdly, Caroline and Bonnie would want you to do this. And lastly, about my brothers, yes I would miss them, but I would gladly do it if it meant helping you achieve to your highest capability."

Elena's eyes flared. She was tired of having this conversation yet again. "I would be achieving to my highest capability. At Charlottesville University."

Elijah remained silent as he took this in and in the awkward silence that followed, Jeremy looked between his sister and her 1000 year old boyfriend.

"What are you guys talking about?" He asked.

Elena sighed and began, "Nothing Jer -" But Elijah cut her off.

"Elena has been accepted into the College of English Studies in New York. Which is one of the best university's for English."

Elena dropped her fork in surprise and it clanged loudly to the floor. She couldn't believe he had said that! It was her responsibility to tell people she'd been accepted. But Elena had decided not to. Especially since it was Elijah who had been the one to apply to COES for her.

Jeremy's head whipped to Elena. "Woah, no way! Seriously? Why didn't you tell me?"

Elijah spoke again before Elena could. "Elena has some idea that Charlottesville University is a better option."

Jeremy looked confused and he shook his head. "No, Elena you have to go to COES. If it's good for English I mean you should go. You're an amazing writer."

Elena looked down at her plate. "Charlottesville has a great English program too." She mumbled.

It was Elijah's turn to scoff. "You're putting everyone else before yourself. Like you always have."

Elena stood up from the table angrily. "It's my decision. You're supposed to be the one to respect my decisions, right? Isn't that what you told Stefan and Damon at Prom? Why won't you support me on this?!"

Elijah looked up at her wide-eyed. But before he could respond, Elena ran up the stairs to her room and slammed the door. She flopped down on her bed as tears of anger slid down her cheeks.

An hour later, there was a small knock at her door.

It was Elijah. "May I come in?" He asked.

Elena smiled slightly. "Yeah, of course."

Elijah came into the room and closed the door behind him. He moved over to Elena's bed and sat at the end of it. Elena sat up, waiting for him to speak.

"'I'm sorry. Of course you're right." Elijah began. "That is what I told Stefan and Damon, and I haven't done that in relation to this college issue. I will respect your decision to attend Charlottesville University."

Elena sighed. "Elijah, I get where you're coming from, and I'm glad that you see this potential in me, but I need to do this. I need to be with my friends. I need to be close to Jeremy and Matt and most importantly, I need to be with you."

Elijah moved over and took Elena in his arms.

"I will be with you. Always and forever."

"Like it should be." Elena whispered and moved her lips to his.

But just as they started kissing, Jeremy came through the door saying, "Elena, I just wanted to see if you're Ok."

Elena and Elijah pulled apart and Jeremy started apologizing, awkwardly. "Oh sorry! I thought you'd gone home, Elijah."

Elijah stood up and walked over to Jeremy. He placed a hand on Jeremy's shoulder.

"It's Ok." Elijah turned to Elena. "Until tomorrow, Elena."

Elena smiled at him. "Until then, Elijah."

Elijah walked out of the door and left the house.

Once he was gone, Jeremy moved over and sat at the end of Elena's bed.

"Elena, are you sure about this? I'm Ok with whatever you decide, but have you really though this through?"

"What do you mean?" Elena asked, her eyebrows furrowing.

"Well, with all this supernatural stuff, you kind of lost track of your future." Jeremy began. "We both did. But have you thought that maybe this incredible English education might be just what it takes to make you see your future a lot clearer? I mean, you could be that writer you always wanted to be."

Elena nodded slightly, in thought. "I guess, but when did you get so wise?" She asked him with a smile.

Jeremy hung down his head, grinning. "Someone has to be."

Elena nodded again a moment later. "Thanks Jer. I'll think about it."

Jeremy stood up from the bed.

"Night, Elena." He said warmly, heading for the door.

"Night." Elena replied and he left the room.

Elena sighed and lay back on the bed. Thoughts of college, Elijah and Jeremy all swirling about in her head.

Jeremy had a point. So did Elijah.

But should she really put herself before her friends and family?
