Woods

[A man and a woman are camping in the forest. Fog descends around the tent.]

Woman: Hey. Did you hear that?
Man: Hear what?
Woman: I heard thunder.
Man: There's no thunder.
Woman: Are you sure? Because if it rains, then we won't be able to see the comet.
Man: It's not gonna rain. Listen, I...got you a little something. It's back in the car. Don't you move.
Woman: Stay dry.
Man: It's not gonna rain.
[A dripping noise pounds on the tent after the man leaves. The woman smiles triumphantly.]

Woman: I knew it! I told you it was gonna rain!
[She sees her boyfriend up in a tree. His blood dripping on the tent. She runs to the car.]

Woman: Open! No! Please!
[The car beeps as the doors unlock. The woman looks around nervously. Someone drops from the trees and kills her.]

Gilbert Residence/Salvatore Boarding House

Elena: Dear diary, this morning is...different. There is change. I can sense it, feel it.
Stefan: I'm awake. For the first time in a long time, I feel completely and undeniably wide awake.
Elena: For once, I don't regret the day before it begins.
Stefan: I welcome the day...
Stefan/Elena: Because I know...
Stefan: I will see her again.
Elena: I will see him again. For the first time in a long time, I feel good.
[Elena goes out of her room.]
The vampires and humans give them weirded out looks. Besides Kai and Bloom. Kai and Bloom were kissing. And her other mates were giving them a jealous look.
Gilbert Residence

Jenna: Do I look adult? As in respectfully parental?
Elena: Depends on where you're going.
Jenna: Jeremy's parent-teacher conference. Hair up or down?
[Jenna puts her hair up.]

Elena: Sexy stewardess.
[Jenna lets it down.]

Elena: Boozy housewife.
Jenna: Up it is. You're feisty today.
Elena: I feel good, which is rare. So I've decided to go with it. Fly free, walk on the sunshine, and all that stuff. Where is Jeremy?
Jenna: He left early. Something about getting to wood shop early to finish a birdhouse.
[She pauses.]

Jenna: There is no wood shop, is there?
Greyson gives his son a look. Saying that you better not ditch class.
Elena: No.
Jenna: Yeah.
Hospital

[Jeremy stands outside Vicki's room.]

Nurse: You can't be in here, hon. Visiting hours don't start till 9:00.
Jeremy: I just...how is she?
Nurse: She's lost a lot of blood.
Jeremy: Yeah, but she's gonna be OK, right?
Nurse: She needs her rest. So you come back later. Come on.
Mystic Falls High School

[In history class, Elena and Stefan look at each other while their teacher lectures.]

Tanner: Originally discovered nearly 5 centuries ago, it hasn't been over Mystic Falls in over 145 years. Now, the comet will be its brightest right after dusk during tomorrow's celebration. Are we bothering you, Mr. Salvatore? Ms. Gilbert?
[Elena and Stefan drop their gazes. The bell rings.]

[In the hallway.]

Stefan: I brought it. [Hands Elena a book.] Told you.
Elena: "Wuthering Heights" by Ellis Bell. You know, I can't believe she didn't use her real name.
Stefan: All the Bronte sisters used pseudonyms. It was the time. Female writers weren't very accepted then.
Elena: Where did you get it?
Stefan: Uh, it was passed down. Through the family.
Elena: Ah.
Stefan: I have lots of books. Go ahead. Keep it.
Elena: Oh, no. I...but I would like to read it again. I promise I'll give it back.
Stefan: Ok.
Caroline: I'm confused. Are you psychic or clairvoyant?
Bonnie: Technically, Grams says I'm a witch. My ancestors were these really cool Salem witch chicks or something. Grams tried to explain it all, but she was looped on the liquor so I kinda tuned out. Crazy family, yes. Witches? I don't think so.
Caroline: Yeah, well, feel free to conjure up the name and number of that guy that Bloom and me saw from last night.
Why didn't you just do it yourself if your a witch? Asks Elena. But everyone ignores her. And she does this really ugly pout.
Bonnie: I didn't see him, you did. Why didn't you just talk to him?
Caroline: I don't know. I was drunk.
[Ouside, Jeremy walks up to Tyler.]
