✵ Pilot

Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries! I do however own Ally Gilbert and all of her plot lines!

It had been four months since her parents died. Of course, Ally admitted things had slowly gotten better with their Aunt Jenna there. Yet the pain of losing them was still there. Having Stefan be there for her over the summer had definitely helped tremendously as she had most certainly didn't know how she could have coped through this without him. But she wasn't sure if that feeling would ever go away. Yet here they were, the first day of their new school year. Ally hoped that this year would be different, better even.

Sighing softly to herself quickly checking her reflection in her vanity mirror. Grabbing her parka and messenger bag from her desk chair she walked out of her room. Ally leaned against the door jam for Elena's room seeing her writing in her diary.

"Hey. Ready for today?" Ally asked as Elena continued writing not bothering to look up.

"I am. Well, I hope so. New year, new me." Elena replied honestly causing Ally to chuckle softly.

"Good plan. I'll see you downstairs okay?" Ally said as Elena nodded her head yes before she walked away.

Walking down the hallway she stopped in front of her younger brother Jeremy's room.

"Hey. Ready for today?" Ally asked softly repeating what she had asked Elena as Jeremy turned to look at her.

"As ready as I'm gonna be I guess," Jeremy replied smiling over at her.

"Good. Coming downstairs?" Ally said relieved smiling back.

"In a sec. Gotta find my shoes." Jeremy said bending down so he could look under his bed.

"I'll see you down there then." Ally said chuckling softly. "Oh, and if I were you I would check your closet."

As she said that she shuffled down the stairs grinning to herself after hearing Jeremy shout as he found his shoes. Walking through the door to the kitchen she spotted a frazzled looking Aunt Jenna.

"Morning!" Ally announced brightly setting her messenger bag down on the counter.

"Morning, I can't believe I woke up late!" Jenna groaned rubbing her face with her hands as Elena walked into the room. "I was going to wake up early and make breakfast."

"Aunt Jenna it's okay, really!" Ally said leaning against the counter smiling at Jenna comfortingly.

"Toast. I can make toast." Aunt Jenna announced opening the door to the fridge.

"It's all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna," Elena said pouring herself a cup as Jeremy walked in.

"Is there coffee?" Jeremy asked as he walked over taking the cup Elena had just poured as Elena rolled her eyes at him.

"Your first day of school and I am totally unprepared. Lunch money?" Jenna said digging out her purse walking over holding out some bills towards them.
