Scarlett's Light

DO NOT GO GENTLE

MIKAELSON MANSION

Scarlett is running her paintbrush down a canvass painting Elena who's wearing a red silk robe in a seductive manner, her hair falling down her face

Elena: So broody

Scarlett: Shush now, darling. I'm trying to capture your timeless beauty through it is very hard to do so.

Rebekah/Esther enters. Elena covers herself up tying the robe around her body.

Scarlett: What took you so long?

Rebekah/Esther: Alaric didn't want to hand over the stake. [Shows them a stake.] Luckily I'm quite the charmer.

Elena: Is that it?

Scarlett puts the paintbrush down, takes the stake from Rebekah/Esther and throws it into the flames in the fireplace. The flames flare up around the stake.

Rebekah/Esther: Well that's that then.

Scarlett: Pack your bags, we're leaving.

Rebekah/Esther and Elena: Today?

Scarlett: Why not? There's nothing keeping us here. Take your bags, Love and be off by sunset.

Rebekah/Esther: But tonight is the decade dance.

Scarlett: So?

Rebekah/Esther: So, I'm head of the committee, we have to go.

Scarlett: I'm not going to any dance.

Elena: But you said you would take me, Scar. Come on

She looks up at her with pleading puppy dog eyes. Scarlett sighs and nods her head

Scarlett: Fine. We'll go

Elena squeals jumping up and down smiling happily.

Rebekah/Esther: One last hurrah, Scarlett

Scarlett: One last hurrah.

MYSTIC FALLS HIGH

Caroline and Elena are walking through the gym hall which is being decorated for the 20s Decade Dance. Caroline has a clipboard and is in charge of the preparations as Rebekah is missing.

Caroline: So, Alaric is trying to pull himself together, why is that a bad thing?

Elena: I just...I wish there was something I could do.

Elena picks up a chandelier.

Elena: Where do you want me to hang this thing?

Caroline: You know what, if Rebekah wanted to hang this monstrousity she should have shown up to do it herself. [Hands the chandelier to a passingby student.] Just no! So who are you bringing to the dance?

Elena wraps a feather boa around her neck

Elena: I'm bringing Scarlett. Who are you bringing?

Caroline: That's easy. My new boyfriend, Sam

Elena: It's about time. I knew you two would look cute together.

Caroline: Really?

Elena: It's clear as day, Caroline. His eyes lights up when he looks at you. He's much better then Tyler

Caroline: And he's amazing in bed.

Elena: CAROLINE!!

Caroline: What? It's true. He's really good and I mean really really good.
