Salvatore Boarding House Stefan is doing exercises in his bedroom. Damon enters with a glass of blood in his hands. Damon:"Could you turn it up a little bit? It's not annoying yet." Stefan:"Sorry." Damon switches off the music,"When are you going back to school?" Stefan:"Soon." Stefan is on the floor, doing push-ups. Damon:"Oh come on. Just drink already. Come on, this self-detox is not natural." He puts this glass next to Stefan. Stefan:"Can you get that away from me please?" Damon:"How long did it take you to wean yourself of it the last time you indulged?" Stefan continues doing push ups. Damon:"That's not good." Stefan:"I'll be fine; it just takes a little bit of time." Damon:"I don't get it; you know, you don't have to kill to survive. That's what blood bags are for. I haven't hunted a human in...God way too long." Stefan:"Oh, I'm impressed." Damon:"It's completely self-serving. I'm trying to get the town off the trail of vampires which is not very easy considering that there is entire tomb of them running around." Stefan:"What are we planning to do about that?" Damon:"We are not going to do much of anything if huh don't have your strength. There's nothing wrong with partaking a healthy diet of human blood from the blood bank. You're not actually killing anyone." Stefan:"I have my reasons." Damon:"Well, what are those holier-than-thou reasons? You know, we never actually discussed this. You know, I'd—I'd love to hear this story." Damon sits down on the couch. Stefan:"You're really enjoying thus, aren't you? Watching me struggle?" Damon:"Very much so." Stefan:"I hate to break it to you Damon but...I actually have it under complete control." Damon:"You do? Well, then you should just carry on, making the rest of us vampires look bad." He gets up. "have a great day, Stefan." He leaves the glass of blood on the table. Stefan stares at the glass. Damon walks back into the room. Damon:"Oh, hey, almost forgot something. Oops." He takes the glass and leaves. He drinks and relishes I'm the taste of blood and leaves the room. ~~~***~~~ Gilbert Residence

I was walking out of the house,"Come on, Elena, Jeremy, going to school. Walking out of the door!" Jenna:"Forgot this." She hands me my thermos. Nevaeh:"Thank you." Elena walked down the stairs, and Jenna hands her, her thermos. I opened the door, John is here, and he was about to knock. John said with a smile,"Nevaeh! Elena!" Nevaeh:"Uncle John! Hi!" I said with a smile. Elena:"Yeah, hi." She said with distaste. John looked at Jenna,"Jenna." Jenna:"John, you made it." John:"I said I'll be here before noon." He enters the house. Jenna:"Oh what you say and what you do are typically two very different things." Jeremy comes downstairs,"Uncle John, what's up?" John:"Hey!" Jeremy slaps him on the shoulder and leaves to get in the backseat of my car. John:"I had done business in town; I thought that a visit was in order." Elena:"And how long are you staying?" Nevaeh:"Don't be rude Elena. Ask nicely." I turned to Uncle John. "So, how long are you staying?" I smiled. John:"I don't know yet." Nevaeh:"Good, because we have a lot to talk about." I gave him the look, the talk about vampires. Elena:"Okay, well, we're gonna go to school now, we'll see you later." We both leave the house. Jenna looks at the girls and closes the door. John:"So what's up with Jeremy?" Jenna:"He just lost a friend, so try to be sensitive." John laughs,"I'm always sensitive." Jenna:"Right, so really how long are you staying?" John:"Can you at least pretend that you're happy to see me?" Jenna jokes,"Oh my god John! It's so good to see you. How have you been?" She becomes serious again. "No, I can't." John:"Do you really think that I was just gonna sign the escrow papers and send them back?" Jenna:"Actually I did." John:"I'm not going to let you sell my brother's office." Jenna:"It's not up to you or me; it's belong to Elena, Nevaeh, and Jeremy." John:"Yeah but they're minors, so I get the final say, being that I'm the estate's trustee." ~~~***~~~ Mystic Falls High School Jace and I are walking in the hallway. Nevaeh:"He said his trip is open ended." Jace:"Uncle John, I never really liked that guy." Nevaeh:"No one really liked him, but he was always there when I needed to talk so..." Jace:"I'm here for moral support if you need me." Nevaeh:"Thanks, I think I'll suffer this one alone; you've been through enough." Jace:"Thank you by the way, for just...for everything you did at Vicki's funeral and the memorial. I couldn't have done it without you." Nevaeh:"Of course Jace." Then there was a long pause, as we stared at each other. Nevaeh:"So was my sister still baking for you guys, around the clock?" Jace:"She finally stopped, which is a good thing because my mom was going to strangle her if she dropped off one more lasagna." He closes his locker and we leave.
