Elena is on the phone, leaving a message for Jeremy. Damon and Diana are shooting darts. " Jeremy, the minute that you get this call me!!" She hangs up. Damon gets a bull's eye. "Bulls-eye, another shot for you."

"Dammit." Diana takes another shot. "Unbelievable!!" Elena says. "What, that Jer's gone or the fact that we're daydrunk?"

"Both!"

"You are feisty when you are mad." Damon adds as he throws another dart. "It's not that I'm mad. I'm just...I'm worried."

"But why? He lost his job at the Grill. He can survive, Elena."

"He is spiraling. Ever since Bonnie broke up with him, he is moody, he is not really talking to anyone."

"Sounds like a normal teen to me. If were being mature and stuff, that's when I'd get really worried." Diana gets a bull's eye. "Ha! Bull's eye! Glug, glug, glug!" Damon's about to take a shot when Elena stops him. "Stop drinking. Are you okay?"

"What makes you think I'm not okay?"

"Well, you're daydrunk. It's not exactly your most attractive look." 

"Hmm- what is my most attractive look?" Damon moves closer towards her. "Ah, ah- I'm not saying you have any attractive looks. I'm saying this is my least favorite one..."

"Can you make out sometime else? We're not done playing." Diana says, retrieving the darts. "Don't mind me." Klaus says and Diana rolls her eyes. "Great..."

"You gonna do this in the Grill? In front of everyone? It's a little beneath you, don't you think?"

"I don't know what you are talking about. I just came down to my local pub to grab a drink with a mate." The jogger that followed Elena shows up behind him. "Get a round in, would you Tony?" Klaus smiles, seeing that Elena is shocked. "I'm surprised you stuck around town long enough for happy hour."

"My sister seems to be missing. Need to sort that out."

"Cute blonde bombshell, psycho. Shouldn't be too hard to find."

"Truth is I've grown to rather like your little town. Think I might fancy a home here. Oh I imagine you're wondering how does this is affect you. The answer is: not in the slightest. As long as I get what I want and everyone behaves themselves you can go on living your little lives however you choose. You have my word."

"What more could you possibly want?"

"Well for starters, you can tell me where I might find Stefan."

"Stefan skipped town the second he saved your ass."

"Well you see that is a shame." Klaus throws a dart and gets a bulls-eye. "Your brother stole from me. I need him found so I can take back what's mine."

"And that does not sound like an us problem, does it?" Diana asks and Klaus smirks. "Seems to me that the little princess is feeling angsty."

"For a reason. I leave you and after 12 years I find out that you wanna make hybrids?"

"It all has a purpose. And now that that purpose has been eliminated, they're free to roam about."

"Everyone except Tony here." I say, pointing to one of his hybrids. "Well, I can make my cake and have it too."

"Can you really?"

"Enough with the small talk. I'm here with another purpose...The baby."

"You mean the baby that's in 7th grade already? I bet you don't even remember her name."

"Of course I do...S...Sally?"

"Some dad you are." Diana rolls her eyes. "Does the name really matter?"
