Surprising Lover (TVDxOC) (Complete)

My Brother's Keeper

"What do you mean you're not coming? I don't need to remind you that your Miss Mystic Falls attendance record totally sucks."
Caroline is walking down the stairs with a clipboard and preparing for the pageant. Grace is holding Her phone  as they continue to talk to Stefan.
"Besides, you're a founding family member, by definition you have to be here."
They walk over to a table where Gabby is arranging some flowers. Caroline grabs the flowers from her hands and rearranges them to her satisfaction. They walk away.
"Elena and I broke up. By definition, I don't need to be anywhere."
"Did that sound as depressing to you as it did to me?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, I'm not depressed. I just want to rip into someone's artery and feed until I can't breathe anymore."
"Well, you can't. As your sober sponsors, I am not going to let that happen. Try and sublimate."
"She said she has feelings for Damon."
"What?! She can't have feelings for Damon!"
"He's...Damon. And you're...you. And I'm – revolted."
"You know, I'm gonna talk to her. I'm going to shake some sense into her clearly diseased brain."
"Yeah, well I don't know what good that'll do. Elena's right, being a vampire really has changed her."
"All the more reason you need to cure her."
Elena walks down the steps. Caroline sees her and Elena starts to walk over to her.
"[to Stefan] Look, we got to go. Be careful. And remember, there is sublimating and then there is insanity."
"I'll be fine. Bye."
He hangs up. Grace puts down her phone and they look at Elena.Elena is arranging flowers in a vase at a table. They walk over to her.
"Look, I'm your best friend and I would never pick sides, but are you sure that this is what you want? Because Stefan is your soul mate."

Elena looks up at her and Grace nudges her.
"Sorry. Picking sides."
"It's not like I don't love Stefan anymore, but I can't deny that ever since I turned, my feelings for Damon have become more intense."
"Yeah, I know. Stefan filled us in on all the gory Damon details."
"He did?"
Elena looks at her for a second, clearly worried.
"Is he okay?"
"No, he's heartbroken."
"Shattered."
"Well, what was I supposed to do? Lie to him?"
"No, but you weren't supposed to let Damon weasel his way into your confused newbie vampire heart."
"Well, he did and that's exactly what I am. Confused. I need to figure out what these feelings actually mean."
Professor Shane walks down the steps and over to Caroline, Grace and Elena.
"Excuse me, I'm a little lost. I'm here to interview contestants."
"You're Professor Shane."
They look at each other.
"Yeah, that's right. Professor by day; pageant judge by other day. In spite of being absurdly unqualified, I'm apparently awarding a scholarship."
"Uh, inside by the parlor."
Shane points up towards the house.
"Right in here?"
"Mhm."
"All right, I'll just follow the scent of hairspray and world domination."
Caroline laughs quietly. Shane walks away. Elena turns and looks at Caroline
"He's the one who told Damon how to break the hunter's curse."
"He's also the one that has Bonnie so obsessed with practicing magic that she bailed on pageant prep."
"And now he's judging Miss Mystic Falls?"
Caroline raises her eyebrows.
"Jack of all trades or kind of creepy?"

Caroline is standing outside the house with her clipboard in hand. Grace is next to her. Three girls walk towards them with flower arrangements.
"Woah, woah, woah, stop, stop!"
"Care."
The girls come to a halt.
"Those flowers go in the back as indicated by the floral chart that you guys had plenty of time to memorize."
The girls turn around and walk off.
"Yeah, thank you."
"Care."
Caroline looks down at her clipboard again. Klaus walks up to her.
"Now, how did I know I'd find you at the helm of the ship?"
She looks at him and then back down at her clipboard.
"Go away. I'm busy."
"I was wondering what time I should pick you up tomorrow."
Caroline looks up from her clipboard again and over at him.
"How about a quarter to never?"
She looks away again. Klaus moves closer towards her.
"I was promised a date in return for one of my hybrids."
"Oh?"
"Yes, a date. Like to a movie where we don't have to talk and I can put at least three seats between us."
"Well, surely the reigning Miss Mystic Falls won't be hosting the party alone."
Caroline finally turns around and looks at him with her full attention.
"And I assume you're not taking Tyler. Not after his indiscretions with his lady werewolf friend."
Klaus looks up at her with puppy dog eyes.
"Fine. If you insist on coming, meet me here. Two p.m. [She starts to walk away.] Black tie optional. [She quickly turns around and points at him.] And I already have a dress, so don't even think of getting me so much as a corsage, you understand?"
Klaus looks down submissively and nods. Caroline grabs Grace walks up the stairs.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Caroline."
