Elena, Caroline, Bonnie, Kol, Klaus and Elijah decided to play poker while they waited for the rest to get up but the girls didn't know how to play poker so they had to teach them.

"So... I wouldn't need any, right? Because I have a straight." Caroline asked as she showed her cards.

"Oh! Good for you!" Bonnie and Elena cheered her, while the guys shared looks.

"Bennett witch, how many do you want?"

"I just need two. The 10 of spades and the 6 of clubs." Bonnie said.

"No. Bonnie, you can't..." Elijah tried to explained

"Wait. I have the ten of spades. Here, you want it?" Elena asked, giving Bonnie her card.

"No, no... uh, see, you... you can't do that." Elijah tried to explain to Elena.

"Oh, no, no, no, that's okay. I don't need them. I'm going for fours."

"I got something for us to eat while we play. We got salmon roulettes and assorted crudités." Caroline said as she showed the plate and put it in the middle of the table.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Caroline, what are you doing?" Kol asked. "This is a poker game. You can't serve food with more than one syllable. It's gotta be like chips or dip or pretz."

"At this point the dealer..." Klaus tried to explain but was cut off by Caroline.

"Alright, we got it. Let's play for real, Alright? Huge stakes, big bucks."

Once the game ended the girls got upset with how awful they were at playing poker.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Caroline said upset and left the table, making Klaus quickly walk over to her and try to comfort her.

"I see. So, you were lying." Bonnie said to Kol.

"About what?" Kol asked confused.

"About how good your cards were." Bonnie said upset.

"I was bluffing." Kol said with a smirk.

"And what is bluffing? Isn't just another word for lying?"

After the game of poker they all decided to just talk.

"What you guys don't understand is that, for us, kissing is as important as any part of it." Caroline said.

"Yeah, right." Kol said in disbelief. "You serious?"

"Yeah!" Bonnie agreed with Caroline.

"Everything you need to know is in that first kiss." Elena said.

"Absolutely." Caroline said.

"I think for us, kissing is pretty much an opening act. I mean it's like the stand-up comedian... You have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out." Klaus said.

"Yeah, and it's not that we don't like the comedian... it's just... That's not why we bought the ticket." Elijah said.

"The problem is, thought, after the concert is over, no matter how great the show was... you girls are always looking at the comedian again." Klaus said.

"Well, word of advice. Bring back the comedian, otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home listening to that album alone." Caroline said and high fived Elena.
