Lorelai's Diaries / The Vampire Diaries

Chapter 4: Nifty Fiftes

Dear diary, Today Jenna is giving me her car! Finally, I'll be able to drive myself wherever I want and to school I guess. Or to drive myself to more vampire hijinks'. She bought her new car yesterday and so now I get the Bronco. K well I'll update you later on whatever shenanigans Elena will probably get herself into. I've noticed that's her calling card.

I'm at the grill with Bonnie and Elena. Elena is telling us that she's adopted and I have to pretend to be surprised, since I'm sure she would find it weird that Stefan asked my opinion on whether or not he should tell her. "I can't believe you're adopted." I say. "I never saw that coming." Bonnie adds. "And it gets weirder. I looked at my birth certificate. It lists Miranda and Grayson Gilbert as my birth parents, none of it makes any sense." Elena tells us while she eats her meal. "Which is why you should ask Alaric." Elena groans at Bonnie's comment. "First of all, the Elena I know would always want the real truth, good or bad." Bonnie continues. "And second of all?" Elena asks. "You just found out your boyfriend is a... vampire." Bonnie whispers the last bit. "So unless your birth parents are aliens..." Bonnie says, trying to lighten the mood. "How bad could it be?" I finish her thought. Elena chuckles at us. "Ok look I have to go to the store. My outfit for the dance is severely lacking accessories." Bonnie tells us she'll pay the bill. "Am I blind? I had no idea there was a dance coming up?" I say to Elena as she stands up. "Yeah it's another decade dance. The fifties. We have them all the time." Bonnie says bye to Elena and I.

When I finally get home I see Jenna all dolled up. "What are you all dressed for?" She does a little spin to show off. "I'm a chaperone at the dance tonight. I actually invited Alaric to help too. You are going right?" She asks. "I guess, I don't know if I have anything though." I say. She looks at me then tells me to follow her. After she raids both mine and her closet, we come up with something that will pass for fifties. Jenna heads out to help set up for the dance, while I finish my make up. Elena texted me and told me to come to her house so we can go together. What? I have social anxiety. Sue me. As I'm walking up to the house I see Damon approaching me from the opposite direction. Then he's right in front of me. It must be that super speed thing they have. He scares me a little. "I never quite got your name, red." He says furrowing his eyebrows at me with a smirk. "That's cause I never gave it to you." His smirk gets bigger but I hold a straight face. "Did you get a little SOS call too?" He asks me. "What do you mean a SOS call?" I see Elena's door open from the corner of my eye. "Get in here." Stefan says. I walk up to the door with lurky Damon close behind. I stand behind the sofa that Elena and Stefan are sitting on. Damon paces behind me. Stefan tells us that a vampire was in the house and tried to kill Elena. "Well, how did he get in?" Damon gets right to the questions. "He was invited in." Elena says, still shaken up. "He posed as a pizza delivery guy last night." Stefan tells us. "Well, he gets some points for that." Damon says. I look at him with disappointment in my eyes and he just shrugs. "Did he say what he wanted?" I ask. "No. He was too busy trying to kill me." Stefan then asks Damon, "And you have no idea who this is?"

"No." Stefan just stares at Damon. "Don't look at me like that. I told you we had company." Damon responds to his brother's stare. "You think there's more than one?" I ask. "We don't know." Damon says giving me all the confidence in the world, not. "Damon... he was invited in." Damon nods at this and sits on the arm of the sofa. "Then we go get him tonight. You up for it?" Damon asks Elena. "What do I have to do ?"

"Let your boyfriend take you to the dance. We'll see who shows up." Damon says. "Stefan , shaking his head, says, "That's a bad idea."

"Till we get him, this house isn't safe. For anyone who lives in it." Damon says. "It's worth a shot." I surprisingly agree with Damon on this one. "I'll do it. I'll be with the two of you. I'll be safe." Elena says. "I'll be red's date." He says, giving me a grin. To which I roll my eyes too. "Who said I don't already have one?" Damon narrows his eyes at me. "Well, do you?" I let out a frustrated breath.
