ELENA'S DREAM

Zara is sitting on the couch sobbing when Elena kneels down in front of her taking her hands in hers and raises them to her lips

Elena: Are you still mad?

Zara: Yes.

Elena: We have a difference of opinion, baby. We're not always gonna agree on everything.

Zara: Elena, you've agreed to sacrifice yourself to Nik. To say that we have a difference of opinion is the understatement of the century.

Elena: Hey.

She hooks her finger under her chin raising her head up to look at her

Elena: I made you a promise and I'm going to keep it.

Zara leans her forehead against hers, eyes closed and sighs out in content. Elena brushes her hand up against her cheek, kissing her forehead.

Elena: I need to wake up now. I need to go to school.

Zara looks up at her with a loving look

Zara: I love you

Elena(smiles): I love you more, sweet girl.

GILBERT HOUSE

Zara leans against the wall with her arms folded across her chest watching her soulmate in the kitchen with Caroline and Bonnie.

Caroline: Chinese food or pizza?

Elena: Like you have to ask.

Caroline: I will get it.

She takes her tablet computer and sees a picture of her with Matt.

Bonnie: I'll do it.

She takes the tablet.

Elena: Do you believe that Jonas is being sincere?

Bonnie: I don't know what to believe. I think he's at a loss. He's not sure who to trust.

Elena: Join the club.

Zara: Ouch, that one hurt, my love

Elena looks over her shoulder, smiling a small smile then sends her a wink. She goes to the cabinets and grabs three glasses, Zara gently trails her fingers up her sending a cold shiver up Elena's spine.

Zara: You broke your word with Lijah. I can't even----I can't---

Elena sends her a sad smile mouthing "I'm sorry".

Caroline: Well, what are we going to do about this movie situation? What about "The Notebook"?

Elena: Caroline, how many times have you seen that movie?

Caroline: That is so not the point.

Elena: Well, yeah, I mean...

Zara: Look at the bright side, if you die then you come back as a vampire and we can be together forever

Caroline: Elena, did you know you're going to die?

Elena: Yes.

Caroline: Are you serious? Are you seriously going to die?

Elena: If I die protecting the people I love then, yeah and Damon's gonna give me his blood so I'll come back as a vampire

Bonnie: Wait what? Damon's agreed to give you his blood?

Elena: Yeah, he's pissed at Stefan for daggering Elijah and he wants Elliot back

Caroline: Who's Elliot?

Elena: Elijah and Zara's brother. Damon's married to him.

Caroline: What?

Bonnie: Damon's married to a Original? And Zara, the girl you've dream about? She's a----

Elena: Yeah.

Caroline: What about us? Jenna? Jeremy?

Elena: If I'm a vampire then I get to be with Zara forever. I can't lose more people I care about.

Bonnie: Elena, we care about you and we want to protect you. We are willing to die for you

Elena: I'm willing to die for Zara. Let's just focus on a normal girl's night. Please? I want to have fun and enjoy this.

Jenna walks into the kitchen

Elena: Hey.

Jenna: What's going on?

Elena: Girls' night.

Jenna: Oh.

Elena: How are you doing?

Jenna: You heard about my fight with Ric.

Elena: He feels terrible.

Jenna: Is this some kind of disguised attempt to cheer me up?

Elena looks at the girls.

Elena: No. No, this is about us girls hanging out and you know, we'll be here if you happen to want to talk, or...

Caroline: Because I am a winner when it comes to successful relationships.

Jenna: You, too?

Caroline: You have no idea.

Jenna: Okay, then.

She joins them and opens the fridge.

Jenna: It's this whole Isobel thing. He's hiding something from me.

Caroline: To play devil's advocate, maybe there is a great reason why he's not telling you. Maybe he is just trying to protect you.

Jenna: Well, that's not his call to make. I mean, I deserve the truth. Everybody does.

Caroline: Sometimes it's harder than that.

Jenna: Not if it's somebody you care about, it isn't.

Caroline: You know what we need? Dancing. There is a band at the Grill.

Bonnie: I'm in.

Jenna: In.

Elena: In.

Zara: Why not.

Caroline claps her hands together in delight.

MYSTIC GRILL-BATHROOM

Zara gently brushes her fingers against Elena's cheeks. The brunette shivers as a small smile appears on her face. She cups her face in her hands and kisses her softly on the lips.

Zara: You're wonderful, darling

Elena brushes her hair out of her face tucking it behind her ear.

Elena: Not as wonderful as you are, baby. You're perfect. So beautiful.

Zara looks up at her slowly sliding her hands up her chest with a adorable look in her eyes. Elena's knees weaken staring into her eyes.
