Stefan is knocking on the door, and I opened the door.
Nevaeh:"You got me flowers!" I smiled.
Stefan:"I figured it's a date, why not do it right? I would have driven but it was a rental."
Nevaeh:"You know, you think that for someone who was around when the car was invented you would have one."
Stefan:"Oh, I have my own car. I just never drive it."
Nevaeh:"You know, it's not too late to cancel."
Stefan:"Why would we do that?"
Nevaeh:"I don't know, it just seems unreal. Like maybe we weren't meant to get to the normal part."
Stefan:"That's exactly why we're going to do it. We're going to go out, have some fun and try to remember that we don't have to be so serious. Listen, when I decided to stay here and to get to know you, it so that I could do things like this. Bring my girlfriend flowers, take her out on a date, and try to be normal."
Nevaeh:"Have you ever been on a double date before?"
Stefan:"Oh, absolutely. '72, Hef and the twins."
Nevaeh:"What?"
Stefan:"Yeah...playmates. I got Miss June."
Nevaeh:"Are you serious?"
Stefan:"I'm serious babe." He kisses my forehead.

Mystic Falls
Jenna is waiting for Anna and Pearl in front of her brother-in-law's office.
Pearl:"Miss Sommers?"
Jenna:"Yes. Hi Pearl."
Pearl:"Hi. This is my daughter, Annabelle."
Jenna:"Oh course, Jeremy's friend."
Anna:"Nice to see you again, Miss Sommers."
Jenna:"Oh, Jenna, please. This property was in my brother in laws's family for generations. It's one of the originals structure in Mystic Falls. It used to be one of those old fashioned drugstore thingies."
Pearl:"An apothecary?"
Jenna:"Yeah."
Pearl:"You don't say."
Anna sees Jeremy.
Jenna:"Sorry if it's a little musty."
Anna is watching Jeremy walking.
Jenna:"No one has been here for months."
Pearl:"I'll use my imagination."
Anna is still watching Jeremy.
Pearl:"Annabelle."
Anna:"I'm coming mother."
They are entering the office. Jenna is holding the door.

Mystic Grill
Kelly is at the bar. Damon sits down next to her. He wears sunglasses.
Kelly:"What's with the sunglasses inside?"
Damon:"My eyes are a little sensitive today."
Kelly:"You're new around here."
Damon:"On the contrary, I'm very old." He talks to the bartender. "Bourbon, neat."
Kelly:"I haven't been gone for long. I would remember someone who looked like you."
Damon:"Yeah. Where did you go?"
Kelly:"Around, about."
Damon:"I've been there."
Kelly:"I love to see a man down his sorrows. It's so sexy."
Damon:"It's more like nursing my wounds. And you?"
Kelly:"I was supposed interviewing for a bartender job but I think the manager blew me off."
Damon:"Well, that's not very nice."
Kelly:"Yeah. Last time I was in town I slept with her boyfriend."
Damon:"That's not very nice either."
Kelly:"It happens."
Damon:"Yes it does."
Jenna arrives,"Kelly? Kelly Donovan?"
Kelly:"Jenna!"
The two girls hugged each other.
Jenna:"I heard you was back in town." She says to Damon. "She used to babysit me."
Kelly:"And then I used to party with her."
Jenna:"This woman is crazy."
Kelly:"Not as crazy as you."
Jenna:"I'm not anymore."
Kelly:"Well sit, drink!"
Jenna:"I shouldn't. I'm more responsible now. Haven't you heard?"
Kelly:"Well, take a night off it's good for the soul."
Damon:"Great for the soul."
Jenna sits down with Kelly and Damon,"This is not going to end well."
Damon:"Can't wait."
They raised their glasses and clink their glasses together.

Miss Gibbons Residence
Fredrick:"I hate this house."
Bethanne:"It's better than the tomb."
Fredrick:"I didn't stay locked up for a hundred and forty five years to end up locked here."
Harper:"Maybe you should quit complaining."
Fredrick gets up and walks towards Harper,"You're going to stop me?"
Bethanne:"Let it be Fredrick. You heart what Pearl said."
Fredrick:"I don't care what Pearl said." He said to Harper. "What you got boy?"
Harper gets up and pushes Fredrick on the couch. Fredrick pushes Harper against the wall.
Fredrick:"Try that again."
Pearl arrives and strangles Fredrick,"Back off. Back off! We don't fight each other. Those are the rules."
Fredrick:"I'm tired of your rules. I want out of this house. Why can't we go out on the town?"
Pearl:"Eventually. But for now we have to keep a low profile."
Fredrick:"No one knows who I am."
Pearl:"The Salvatore brothers do."
Fredrick:"And I wish to hell that I could run into them. There are the reason we were caught in the first place."

Mystic Grill
Nevaeh:"So, Jace, how do you like working here?"
Jace:"It's not that bad. Wait staff is pretty good and they can't keep a bartender to save their lives. I actually put my mom up for the job."
Nevaeh:"How's that been? Having Kelly back?"
Jace:"You know, same old Kelly. She's trying, sort off."
Nevaeh:"Kelly and my mom were best friends growing up. That's how Jace and I first met, we shared a crib together."
Stefan:"You're kidding?"
Jace:"No, we have known each other our whole lives."
Jace and I look at each other. Elena sighs. We turned our heads and watched Damon, Kelly, and Jenna drinking together.
Jace:"You got to be kidding me."

Miss Gibbons Residence
Fredrick and Bethanne are going out of the house. Harper catches them.
Harper:"Where are you going?"
Fredrick:"Bethanne and I are going to go out fir a bit. Hit the town, kick up our heels."
Harper:"We're not supposed to leave. Miss Pearl made that very clear."
Fredrick:" You're going to stop me? I didn't think so."
Harper watches them while they leave the house.

Gilbert Residence
Someone is knocking on the door. Jeremy goes down the stairs and opens the door. It's Anna.
Jeremy:"Anna?"
Anna:"Surprised?"
Jeremy:"I thought you and your mom were leaving town."
Anna:"Change of plans. Sorry, I thought you'd be psyched."
Jeremy:"No, no, no. I mean...I am. Of course I am."
Anna:"Alright then, step aside." She walks into the house.

Mystic Grill
Jenna:"Don't be grumpy. It can't be that bad."
Damon:"You'd be surprised. My primary reason for existence has abandoned me and after today's events, the remains of the shaken ground that I walk on are about to go kaboom. Let's get hammered."
Kelly:"Let's."
They clinked their glasses together.
