60s music played loudly, the gym was packed with subjects, teachers and other chaperones. We had just arrived, when the song ended a student walked up on stage.
"Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight. This is for Elena. From Klaus".

He was actually at the dance, I wasn't sure I believed it before now but the truth had come. We all agreed the best plan was to spilt up, all looking out for Klaus. The couples went off dancing, Damon found Ric and I walked around the dance floor looking for anything out of place.
Soon after Caroline and Matt arrive, I looked to where Damon and Stefan were, Stefan nods towards them, I nod back and follow after him.

Stefan steals Caroline for a dance, I follow after Matt to the drinks table. He poured two glasses, watching Caroline dancing.
"Hey Mr President" I smile, making myself a drink.
He laughed humourlessly, "Who you are suppose to be?".
"myself" I laughed. "We should talk about Vicki".

His eyes went round then normal, "We don't".
"About the PI? I meant what I said".
"Can we talk about this another time?" he asked, already walking back to Caroline.

I looked to see where my friends were, Bonnie and Jeremey were still dancing, Stefan was going back to Elena and Damon- Damon was dancing with Elena. She was laughing at something he said, and he was looking at her in a way I had never seen before. He was in love with her, I couldn't see it before, maybe I had been standing too close but there it was love.

"So I get a dance now?" I raise an eyebrow to Damon, he had pulled me into the middle of the dance floor. Spinning me around, holding me with my back against his chest, his head was in the crook of my neck.
"In that dress how can I refuse?". He spun me again so we were facing me, I knew he gave out complements like he breathed, a natural flirt. I tried not to take anything he said seriously. I ignored the comment.
"So what were the 60s real like?" I asked.
"I had my humanity off in the 60s until the early 2000s" he said.
"Why?" I wanted to ask why he would spend so long like that? What made you do that?

He pursed his lips, "It doesn't matter". He wasn't looking at me, but around the room, but I couldn't look away from him. Stupid. I had officially gone mad.

We watched Bonnie and Elena storm from the room, Damon was frowning.
"You have any idea what that's about?" I asked.
"I might"

The Stefan found us, "Please tell me you didn't know that Bonnie was on a suicide mission".
"What?" I questioned, stepping away.
"Oh, great. Jeremy told you and of course you told Elena" Damon guessed.
"Yeah, I told her. You promised her no more secrets" Stefan accused him.
"I changed my mind"

"Oh my god" I gasped, fighting my way through the crowds, heading in the same direction my friends had. The music faded away, the only sound was my heels hitting the floor, then I see them with Ric. I call their names in relief, hugging them.
