In the middle of the woods, Aspen sits on a log watching as Stefan does push ups
Aspen: "What do you mean, you're not coming? Don't you by definition have to be there? Being a founding family member and all."
Stefan: "Elena and I broke up. Technically by definition, I don't have to be anywhere."
Aspen: "Are you okay?" she questions, giving him a soft look
Stefan: "Kind of want to rip into someone's artery and feed until I can't breathe anymore."
Aspen: "Well you can't do that, so...what else do you want to do?"
Stefan: "I don't know." he sighs, flopping onto his back as she thinks for a moment
Aspen: "Get up."
Stefan: "What?"
Aspen: "Get up. Stand" she orders and he does so with a sigh "Try and hit me."
Stefan: "Excuse me?"
Aspen: "You need to take your aggression out and clearly doing pushups isn't helping so...try and hit me." she shrugs as he scoffs a little
Stefan: "You do realize that I'll hurt you, right?"
Aspen: "I'm gonna do you a favor and not get offended by the fact that you think you can beat me." she playfully narrows her eyes at him as he chuckles
Stefan: "Alright fine. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Aspen: "Yeah, yeah. Whatever."
Getting into a fighting stance, Stefan goes to throw a punch but Aspen uses her powers to block it. Smirking at the look on his face, Aspen kicks her leg up, hitting him in the side before throwing a punch which he dodges by grabbing her wrist, speeding behind her and putting her in a small chokehold
Aspen: "You might think I lost but I take this as a victory" she shrugs as he chuckles "Never got an actual hit in with Elijah."
Stefan: "Uh huh."
Klaus: "Mind if I cut in?" he questions, placing Stefan in a chokehold which makes him let go of Aspen "In what world do the words "Tell no one" mean "Tell your brother and every teenage sycophant in town"?"
Aspen: "Klaus."
Stefan: "The secret's safe. No one who knows about the cure would endanger us. Trust me."
Klaus: "Well, then I suggest you find some vampires for Jeremy to kill before I'm tempted to offer you up as a victim. And try to keep this one to yourself, would you?"

Caroline: "Where have you been?" she questions when Aspen comes over to where she's standing at a table at the Lockwood's
Aspen: "Just hanging with Stefan."
Caroline: "So I take it you've heard."
Aspen: "About the breakup? Yep" she nods, looking through a box placed on the table before looking up to see Caroline staring at her "What?"
Caroline: "What?"
Aspen: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Caroline: "It's a...stupid idea." she shakes her head as Aspen scoffs
Aspen: "When has that ever stopped you before?"
Caroline: "Maybe now...that he's fully single...you two might have that conversation regarding a certain kiss you shared."
Aspen: "Don't think now's a good time. I mean they did just break up."
Caroline: "Technically if you really look at it, they've been over for a while."
