After about three hours of Impractical Jokers, everyone was summoned for dinner by Rebekah. The grand dining room table was decked out with pretty centerpieces and every plate already had a salad on it. Klaus sat on one end and Elijah on the other with Katherine and Caroline to the their right and Rebekah and Kol to their left. Stefan sat in-between Rebekah and Caroline and Bonnie took the last seat between Katherine and Kol.
"I figured something a little fancier than Kol's burgers and some crisps would be appreciated." Rebekah explained as they settled. Kol rolled his eyes and stabbed his fork into his salad.
"I think it's great. Thanks, Bekah." Caroline smiled, picking some light dressing for her salad.
Everyone drifted into conversations around Bonnie while she checked out her salad. She was the weirdest person when it came to salad. She wouldn't eat dressing and the only thing she would eat in her salad was lettuce, cucumber, and carrot. Possibly some bacon bits if they were around. She usually didn't order salad anywhere because of her weirdness. She was moving croutons, tomatoes, and onions to the side when she was nudged by Kol.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't like those. Now shut up before your sister hears me." Bonnie whispered back.
"Oh for God's sake, Bonnie lass. It's not a crime to dislike something." He took her bowl and scraped what she wouldn't eat into his bowl.
"It's impolite. Shhhh." He ignored her and handed her the bowl back.
"Anything else?" He asked her, gesturing to the salad dressings.
"No, I'm fine. I don't use the dressing for flavor, I use-" She stopped, realizing he could make this a thing. He raised his eyebrows for her to continue. He was making it a thing.
"Bonnie?" She sighed.
"I like bacon bits, but I doubt you have them here, so it's fine." She was pretty mortified when he got up the table, calling attention, and stalked into the kitchen.
He came back in with a bag of Ready Bits. "Don't mind me. I thought this salad needed a little something." He dumped some in his salad and took a bite. "Bonnie you should try it." She smiled and took the bag from him. Looking up she noticed Caroline smirking pretty hard in their direction. She stuck out her tongue and turned to her now perfect salad.

Kol had mostly made the volleyball incident up to her, but when the steaks came out her evil self couldn't resist. She reached over and grabbed his plate while he was fixing his baked potato and began cutting up his steak into little pieces.
"What are you doing, Bonnie?" Stefan questioned her from across the table with a mocking brow. He knew her too well. Kol and the rest of the table focused on her.
"Well, I'm treating Kol how he treats me." She stated bluntly, making a show of blowing on the steak and holding it up to Kol's mouth. He just glared. "Do I need to make this an airplane Kol, or are you going to be a good boy?"
"Bonnie." Caroline scolded her. Katherine was laughing while Elijah nudged her. Everyone else was just watching Kol, all having seen his bad side. Bonnie just raised her brows and waited for a reaction.
Kol rolled his eyes and leaned forward and took the steak off her fork before taking his plate back and cutting the rest himself. Everyone sat and stared before Rebekah started laughing and Katherine joined her.
"I told you, Bekah." Katherine got out between giggles. Yet another surprise, but this one got the majority of the room smiling. The rest of dinner passed without incident.

"Thank you for the dinner, it was nice." Caroline told Rebekah as she helped her take the plates into the kitchen.
"It really was. Aside from the Kol thing of course. That was just funny."Rebekah had to hold back a giggle just at the thought of it.
"That wasn't nice! I bet she will either kill him or kiss him before the end of the week."
"Where is she anyway?"
"She and Katherine are bugging Elijah for grimoires. I'm sure they'll show up later for movie night." Caroline told her and frowned when she winced.
"About that... I'm actually going to have to bail for movie night! Don't kill me, but Stefan asked me to go dancing with him and he doesn't want to go as a group or I would've asked."
"It's fine, Bekah. I knew Stefan was going to ask you, he just didn't tell me when. We'll just postpone it. I doubt Katherine will mind the opportunity to spend time with Elijah before his birthday. I ordered the things we picked out by the way." This actually just meant she could spend time with Klaus and lock Bonnie in a room with Kol so all was well. "I'll help you get ready."

After dolling Rebekah up and sending her on her way, she stopped by the library to tell the girls movie night was cancelled.
"Hey, how's it going in here?" She asked as she slipped through the door.
"Fine, we were about to call it a night so we wouldn't be late." Katherine told her, gathering grimiores.
"About that.... We're actually going to have to postpone it. Bekah got called away and I figured now would be a good time to relax before the craziness pops up soon." She told them, being vague for Elijah's surprise.
"Well, that sounds good to me. I'll see you guys at breakfast!" Katherine grabbed Elijah by the tie and nearly dragged him out of the library. She turned to Bonnie.
"Hey, will you help me find this sweater I left in your room?" Bonnie nodded and followed Caroline down the hall to her bedroom. Caroline winked at Klaus holding a temporarily dead Kol in the side hall. She didn't leave her schemes to chance. As soon as Bonnie had walked in and opened up the closet, Kol had woken up.
"Shit." Klaus shoved him into the room and Caroline slammed the door and locked it.
"Well I hope they fear my wrath enough not to break it down. I hate renovations." Caroline smirked and slid a note under the door. "We have a couple of hours."
"I think Supernatural is on if you want to come downstairs and watch it?" Klaus questioned. She smiled widely.
"I knew there was a reason I loved you!" It only took three steps down the hall for that to catch up to her. "Ummmm."

Slam
Bonnie snapped her head up and looked out into the room.
"Kol, what are you doing in here? Where's Care?" That's weird she was right behind her.
"Well I don't know where she is, but I think this is her fault. Klaus snapped my neck twenty minutes ago and I didn't even say anything inappropriate or outrageous." He saw the note slip under the door. "Well, what do we have here? Dear lovable nerds, This is your leader, Caroline. You're both being stupid about your obvious feelings so you will be locked in this room until you figure it out or I need a shopping partner. I have two in stock so I'd figure this out soon. Love, your favorite friend in the world." Kol finished reading it and snorted. "I blame you for this, Bonnie lass. I don't have any friends to bother me this much."
She sighed. She was beginning to wish she didn't either.

Author's Note
I forgot an author's note last time and I feel bad! Okay, so I tried to include more Kalijah and Stebekah but I love Klaroline and Kennett too much! So I'll be focusing more on them until I have other inspiration. Mikael will be coming soon, but I wanted some romance stuff first. Tell me what you think and vote please!
