Virginia, 2011

"I have come to the conclusion, that you, Damon Salvatore, are an idiot."

Gwen Easton as she now went by, was laying sprawled across the couch at the Salvatore's boarding house while the said dark-haired male was now entering the room with his younger brother, Stefan Salvatore in tow - who was supposed to be locked in a jail cell at the current time.

"That's comforting, thank you, Gwenny." The eldest Salvatore replied.

"And where do you plan on taking him, old wise one?" Gwen asked as she got up from the couch, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Georgia, Russia, - actually I hear Australia is lovely this time of year."

The brunette grabbed a pillow off the couch and launched it at the raven-haired brother unfortunately missing him as he side-stepped out of the way before the pillow could make an impact.

"Missed me."

"Well, ta-ta, don't let the door hit you on your way out," Gwen replied sarcastically as she gestured toward the door. "On second thought, I hope it hits you."

"Come on, Gwen, you and your sister have been in our small town of Mystic Falls for just about a month, and you still haven't been to a proper bar." Stefan said persuasively, he wouldn't admit it but he thought the brunette was quite attractive, and he really didn't want to spend the rest of the night alone with Damon.

"Let's go, boys."

•••

Arriving at the bar, the brunette immediately shoved her hands into the pockets of her leather jacket as Damon went to go call Elena.

Not really caring for the conversation between the two, the brunette felt her own phone buzz, as she quickly pulled it out.

Rosalinda:  Where R U?  Went to the Salvatore's house & U weren't there. Worried.

Gwendolyn:  Went out to a bar with the two idiots, be home soon. Don't wait up.

Shoving the phone back in her pocket she jumped when she felt Stefan breathing down her neck. How long was he standing there?

"Your sister worried?"

"Its not polite to invade on people's personal messages, Mr. Salvatore."  Gwen replied walking away to the bar, with Stefan watching her walk away.

"What are we drinking?" Damon asked as the two brothers sat down next to Gwen at the bar.

"Hopefully something a little bit warmer, and a little bit blonder." Stefan replies as he eyes the bartender that was approaching the three.

"You're disgusting," Gwen scoffed as Stefan sent her a wink.

"Hi!" The pretty bartender greeted.

"Hello, Callie. I would love a shot of your best whiskey for me and the lady here, and my brother would love a shot of you." Damon stated, compelling the poor girl.

"What's the catch, Damon?" Stefan asks skeptically.

"No catch, brother. Drink up. It's on me."

Stefan leans over the bar as he grabs Callie's wrist and bites into it, causing Damon to lean over to hide them.

Gwendolyn rolls her eyes, as she grabs a bottle of alcohol behind the counter of the bar and walks away.

It was an hour or so later, and the brunette was now standing on top of the bar counter, drinking her alcohol and dancing to some typical pop song that was playing, she was so wasted she couldn't even tell which song it was.

"Damon, you are worse than Elena. Getting me drunk, brotherly bonding - what do you think, I'll break down and you can pull me back from the edge, is that it?" Stefan says suddenly as he tears his eyes away from the obviously drunk Gwendolyn Easton.

"I happen to like the edge, Stefan! Your problem is your inability to resist falling over it. All or nothing, man. You can't just be," Damon replies, as Callie comes back with another bottle of alcohol and proceeds to sit on his lap.  "Although, who am I to judge?  Drink up brother!"

Even later, Damon and Gwen are dancing on the counter together as Stefan is drinking from a random girls neck.

Gwendolyn moves her hips in a circular motion as she jumps off the counter, stumbling a bit.

"Easy, drunky, you're completely hammered." Damon says, coming to Gwen's aide before she could fall on her face.

The raven-haired vampire sets the 500-year old vampire on a chair, and walks away to take care of Stefan.

Gwendolyn passes out on the counter in an instant.

As the two Salvatore brothers leave the bar, with the youngest holding the sleeping brunette in his arms. After the incident with Mikael, and Damon almost getting his heart ripped out, Stefan volunteered to hold the completely drunk vampire.

"I'll give you ten points for flair," Damon says finally.

"At least, now we know where Klaus and Elijah learned their tricks from."

"Don't think you had to wait till the last second to have your breakthrough, though."

"I didn't have a break through, Damon."

"Oooo, Ooooo, my brother is about to die and I just had to save his life for the bajillionith time. Careful Stefan, your humanity is showing."

"So you know what? You're right, Damon. You're right. You reminded me what my freedom felt like. And when we kill Klaus, I'll be free. Free to leave. See, I didn't do this for you, Damon. I did it for myself."

"Sure, Stefan. Whatever you say."

The 500-year old vampire opened her eyes with a groan at the bright light and loud noises.

"Why are you two idiots talking so loud?" She asked.  "Actually don't answer that. My head is pounding."

"Yeah, you're completely hammered, G." Stefan replied, adjusting the girl in his arms. "Anyways, why are you doing this, huh, Damon?  What do you want from me? Why is everybody trying to save me?"

"Because we care about you, you idiot." Gwen replied, pushing Stefan the best she could while in his arms.

"Because I have to, Stefan! Because you are in this mess with Klaus, because you saved my life. Because I owe you. And I can't just leave you in a cell to rot." Damon states.

"Aw, better be careful, brother. Your humanity is showing."

"Wow, who knew? You actually do have a heart, Damon." Gwen says sarcastically.
