Caroline walks into her house and puts her stuff down. All of a sudden Elena, Matt, Alina, and Bonnie jump out with balloons, party hats, and a sign. They yell surprise.
Matt: Happy birthday! Caroline: What are you guys doing here? Elena: Well you blew off school and missed our work of birthday art, so...
Alina takes off the crown she's wearing and put it on Caroline's head.
Bonnie: Change into warmer clothes, we are going to the Falls. S'mores, camp fire.. Elena: Cake! Like when we were little. Matt: Except for the tequila!
Caroline: Thanks, guys. Really, um, I'm just not feeling my birthday this year. Bonnie: I'm sorry, what? You've already claimed your birthday as everyone's favorite day of the year.
Caroline: Yeah, and now, it's just a reminder that technically, I'm dead. Look, I didn't even like 17. And the only point to being 17 is to get to 18. It's a filler year; I'm stuck in a filler year. Elena: You're not stuck, Caroline.
Caroline: Yeah I am, but it's okay. You know, it's all good, I'll be fine. But I just need some time to wallow in it. Elena: Okay, well I think I have another idea. Elena says smiling at me.
Caroline, Elena, Bonnie, and Matt enter the crypt.
Elena: There it is! Bonnie: This is creepy, even for us. "I agree." Alina said looking around.
"And it's dusty!" She complained. Elena giggles.Elena: No, Caroline was right...technically, she's dead. Sorry. But you don't need a birthday, you need a funeral. You need to say goodbye to your old life, so that you can move on with your new one.
Caroline smiles.
Caroline: Okay. Here lies Caroline Forbes... Elena is putting candles on top of a birthday cake.
"Cheerleader, Miss Mystic Falls, third grade hopscotch champion."
Elena:Control freak, miss perfect! Bonnie: Friend, daughter, overachiever... Matt: Mean girl, sometimes, no offense. Caroline: Ah, none taken.
Elena: She was 17, and she had a really good life. So rest in peace, so that she can move forward. She walks up to Caroline, holding the cake in front of her.
Elena: That's what you really need. What we all really need. Amen, or cheers or whatever. Bonnie? Bonnie lights the candles with her powers.
Elena: Nice! Okay, make a wish. She holds the cake out to Caroline, who closes her eyes and makes a wish.
Elena, Bonnie, Matt, Alina, and Caroline are eating the cake.
Matt takes the bottle of tequila from Bonnie, but Elena snatches it from his hand and drinks.
Elena: Ah-ah. I need it more than you do, trust me. Caroline, what are you doing? Caroline is texting on her phone. Alina takes the bottle.
Hell she needed it more than them, an original hybrid had a liking on her, so definitely needed it. She chugged it, shaking her head a little at the taste.
