Good to You

Chapter Two

Caroline couldn't believe Elena went and stole her prom dress. Her friend was a downright bitch without her emotions.

And as if her week hadn't been bad enough. She felt terrible about sleeping with Klaus and then she felt bad about how she acted toward him despite everything; she felt bad for keeping it a secret from her friends, knowing they wouldn't really understand. How could they? She didn't understand it herself. And then even though she and Tyler were broken up, she felt like she cheated on him and the fact that it was with Klaus made it worse. And then there was something weird going on with her, she was feeling sick as of late, nauseous and she threw up a few times and blood wasn't all that appealing to her as of late like she lost the taste for it and she was getting headaches oddly enough, she thought about talking to her friends about it but with Jeremy dying, Silas, emotionless Elena, the search for the cure and everything else going on she didn't want to add her problems to the list. She hoped it would go away. Whatever was going on with her would stop.

So she had been looking forward to prom as a distraction from her problems but now she didn't have a dress to wear and she knew she couldn't go last minute shopping because all the good ones were gone, which made her consider another option. Klaus. He surely would have something. After all, he gave her that beautiful ball gown one. Only problem: she hadn't spoken to him since their fight after they slept together, but she needed a dress, damn it, and she wanted to look hot to spite Elena for stealing her dress.

Caroline arrived at the Mikaelson home.

Klaus stood in front of the fireplace staring at the burning flames, hearing Caroline's voice call to him. He didn't respond, not in the mood to get in one of their verbal arguments.

"Klaus? Klaus?? Kl-" Caroline entered the room, eyes lending on him. "Hello? Did you not hear me?"

"Of course I heard you, Caroline. I think the whole of Mystic Falls heard you." He said in annoyance, after the dinner with Elijah and Rebekah and himself disagreeing about the cure he was in a rather foul mood. "I'm in no mood for company.

"Well, I'm sorry that you're having personal issues, but I have a real crisis on my hands." Although his personal issues were the last thing on her mind at the moment. "Elena stole my Prom dress!"

Klaus finally turned to face her, listening only to placate her 'cause he could care less about some human high school prom.

"I went to pick it up and the tailor said that somebody else already did. And when I asked who, she said she couldn't remember." Caroline look at him significantly, expecting him to respond but he didn't. "Hello? The vervain is out of the town water supply. She was compelled!"

Klaus unexpectedly felt his bad mood lifting as she talked and found himself laughing unable to help himself.

"It is not funny." Caroline glared at him.

"No, I know, I know." Klaus said, trying not to laugh further but was finding it difficult, smiling amused.

"Then stop laughing!" Caroline told him. "Look, I know that prom isn't important to you, but it's important to me."

Klaus paused, her words catching his attention because she was right it wasn't important to him but if it was important to her... "Well, surely finding another dress is well within your substantial vampire capabilities?"

Frustrated, Caroline turned on the spot. "Oh, but I don't want just another dress." She turned back around facing him again. "I wanna look hot. Like Princess-Grace-of-Monaco-hot." She paused. "I know I have no right to ask this considering how we left things but I would really appreciate it if you could help me out. So... could you please go back into your creepy trophy case of family collectibles and dig me out something of royal caliber?" She smiled at him winningly, hoping, and Klaus smiled back, still amused.
