Always and Forever

Unpleasantville

Elena and Stefan are lying on Elena's bed together, conversing about the previous days events.

Stefan, who was that man in the road?

I don't know. Do you remember anything else about him?

Elena: I wish. I never really saw his face. He was wearing a hoodie. All I can remember is that there was these black boots coming towards me.

I brought some vervain for, um—for you and Jenna. [Grabs a box from the end of the bed. Elena sits up straight. Stefan opens the box up.] And, um, I made this bracelet for Jeremy, few extra ones for friends. [Stefan hands Elena the bracelet. She takes it and observes it.] You can put it in jewelry, like Hope and Mercy necklace's and bracelets, or you can even put it in food or drink, but as long as it's in you or on you, a vampire cannot control you. [Stefan hands Elena a small vial of liquid vervain.]

[picks up a dried up branch of vervain from the box] Wow. So much to remember.

I know, but there's another vampire in town. So until we find out who it is and what he wants, we have to be careful.

Elena nods understandingly.

Downstairs, Jeremy is sketching at the dining room table. while Andi and Kol are sitting in there highchairs coloring. The doorbell rings and Jeremy gets up to answer it. A pizza delivery guy waits on the front porch.

Hey. It's gonna be $22. [pulls pizza out of the bag.]

Jeremy: [yelling up the stairs] Elena, I need the money! Uh, here. Come in. Just put it on the table.

Hope and Mercy all of a sounded stared to say No in unison. trying to warn there older sibling that the pizza man was a vampire. but unfortunately nobody was paying attion to what the were saying.

Jeremy walks back into the dining room. The young man stands on the front porch for a moment longer before crossing the threshold into the house. He places the pizza on the table while Elena comes down the stairs, retrieving the money from her wallet.

Hi. Um, keep the change.

Elena hands the money to Noah who takes it. Noah starts to walk backwards, out of the house.

Thanks. And you have yourself a good night.

Elena smiles and shuts the door. Noah turns around, pulls the hood of his sweater over his head, and walks down the steps of the front porch. It is clear that he is the vampire that caused Elena's car accident and now he has been invited in her house.

Mystic Falls High School

The '50s dance. The students of Mystic Falls are dressed in their best '50s getups and dancing to "This Magic Moment". Caroline who is holding Mercy and Bonnie who is holding Hope are dancing together on the dance floor. Elena and Stefan, arms linked, walk into the dance, with Damon standing on the other side of Elena. They look around the dance floor for any sign of danger. Alaric spots Damon from the other side of the room and the smile falls from his face as he recognizes who Damon is. Suddenly, Jenna approaches Alaric.

Elena is standing by the punch bowl, nervously fidgeting with her earring. Caroline, Mercy, Hope and Bonnie approach her.

Having fun?

No, but this took about two hours, so I'm at least staying half of that. plus the extra hour and a half to get these two cuties ready Care-Bear says while jestroing to Hope and Mercy.

who coo in happiness. which makes the three teenage girls smile

Caroline and Elena laugh. Bonnie and the twins looks off into the distance.

What's Damon doing here?

Elena and Caroline turn to look at Damon, who is standing with Stefan. Elena turns back around

He wanted to come. I promise. He'll behave.

So what is this, like, a threesome now, you and the Salvatore brothers?

No, but if I'm gonna be with Stefan, then I have to learn to tolerate Damon. It's not like I can kill him.

[still staring at Damon] There's a thought.

Mmm. I'll help.

while the three teenager were talking Hope and put her head on Bonnie chest and closed her eyes. while Mercy did the same thing on Caroline. witch made the three best friends smile at the twin cuteness.

Bonnie, the twins and Caroline are still mingling around the punch bowl. Damon approaches them.'

Hi, Bonnie. Wanna dance?

I'm out of here. witch made both of the twins open there eyes and look around being a bit startled with Bon-Bon sounded angry

Bonnie and Caroline look at him with disgust. while the twins gave the older Salvtore vampire a death glare. Bonnie starts to walk away with Hope still in her arms. but Damon blocks her with his body.

Please give me another chance.

Bonnie doesn't respond and moves around Damon, walking away from him. Caroline and Mercy glares at Damon.

Back off, Damon. Mercy nods her head agreeing with the blonde

Caroline follows Bonnie with Mercy in her arms and Hope still in the Bennett's. Damon watches them leave. Stefan and Elena approach Damon.
