It was the day of the founders ball. Fancy dresses. Celebrations. All that stuff.

I invited bonnie over so we could get ready together. She has way better beauty advice. We were laughing. Dancing. Singing. Having the time of our lives whilst we were getting ready. We made the bathroom a bit of a mess but oh well.

Mrs Lockwood called me since the pocket watch went missing. I had an idea that Jeremy took it. Yet he didn't hand it over.

I glanced at myself in the mirror one last time. My brunette hair stroking against my delicate skin. I arrived quite late, since everyone else was already there, but bonnie had to make a few quick stops on the way.

Caroline walked in with Damon and went straight to mrs Lockwood, greeting her with a huge grin. I was a few couples behind her, I arrived with Stefan. I have a little wave to mayor Lockwood and went to go get me and Stefan a fancy beverage.

It soon got to night time. People were drunk, but still having fun. Couples dancing on the dance floor, and the water fountain lit up like the stars. It was beautiful.

I went to go browse at the collection the Lockwood family had, full of old accessories and fancy things.
I then came across the Gilbert family ring. My parent's wedding ring. It brought back so many memories.

" your parents?" Stefan asked, walking up behind me, looking over my shoulder.

" there's a lot of history here." I say, letting out a sigh. We move down the table, looking at all the collection from the founding families.

" the founding families of mystic falls," I began to read out what it said on the picture frame, "welcomes you to the inaugural founders council celebration." I finished. " wow! Look it's the original guest registry. Look at all these familiar names: sheriff William Forbes, mayor Benjamin Lockwood. Is that Damon Salvatore?" I looked at Stefan.
" and... Stefan Salvatore?" I was so confused. Were they named after ancestors or something?

" the original Salvatore brothers!" Damon stepped in, joining in on our conversation. " our ancestors. Tragic story, actually!"

" we don't need to bore them with stories of the past." Stefan said,  walking forward.

" it's not boring Stefan.. I'd love to hear more about your family!" I said with a smile on my face, his family tree is very interesting actually.

" well.. I'm bored. I wanna dance-eeee! And Damon! Won't dance with me." Caroline said.

" mhm." Damon nodded.

" can I just borrow your date?" Caroline asked me. God why does she have to have both brothers?

" oh, uh..." I look at Stefan.
" I don't really dance." Stefan nodded.

" he does! You should see him. Waltz, the jitterbug, the moonwalk. He does it all!" Damon smirked.

" you wouldn't mind would u, Sadie?" Caroline looked over at me and furrowed her eyebrows.

" it's up to Stefan." I got frustrated,  so I'll let him deal with it.

" well! Sorry, but I ain't gonna take no for an answer!" She smiles dragging Stefan along to the dance floor. They left me with Damon....

" I wanna apologise to you.. for being such a world-class jerk the other night when I tried to kiss you." Damon sighed. At least he's apologising.
" my therapist says I'm acting out, trying to punish Stefan." He added. " I'm not gonna bring up what we did.. let's just say that the men in the Salvatore family..  have been cursed with sibling rivalry. And it all started with the original," he pointed to the board again, " Salvatore brothers."
