Tribrid Salvatore

2x15 The Dinner Party

"Stefan." Damon picked up the phone, looking in the fridge at the same time. It was just about empty. Great...

"What's going on?" the younger of the brothers' questioned. He was outside the Gilbert Lake House where he spent the night with Elena. It wasn't his favourite past time but they had to act normally for a while.

Damon flashed upstairs when he heard the soft padding of Luna's feet "Luna just woke up and the fridge is empty."

"I thought you went shopping yesterday," Stefan snorted.

"I forgot, okay?" the older Salvatore sighed, running a hand through his hair. He smiled down at the four-year-old who was blinking up at him tiredly "Dammit..."

Stefan closed his eyes for a moment "You planned to have a bit of a dinner party with Elijah, Ric and Jenna, didn't you? Just go out to the Grill now and shop for it later. Simple..."

"Alright... I did hear one piece of news though." He picked up Luna and sat them down on the couch "Tyler Lockwood ran away from home last night."

"How do you know?" Stefan blinked.

The older vampire put his brother on speaker "Well, I heard it from Sheriff Forbes, who heard it from a very distraught Carol Lockwood. You continue with your ruse and I'll try to get this over with."

"Be careful, brother and make sure that Elijah gets to talk to Luna. I know you're listening, little one. You really have to tell someone, even if you don't want to."

"Yes, Uncle Steffi," Luna mumbled, curling into a small ball. She really didn't want to talk at all but they hadn't stopped pestering her about her nightmares. And maybe she would actually feel better after talking about her bad dreams? Maybe they could help her feel safer...

After the younger brother hung up the phone, Damon turned to his little niece with a smile "Do you want to go to the grill with me? We're meeting Rose and Ric there."

"Yeah," Luna nodded quietly, speeding up the stairs and to her room. She was still wearing her pajamas.

An hour later, the four of them were sitting at a table in the middle of the Mystic Grill. The adults only had drinks in front of them but Luna had a plate with pancakes and fruits as well as a big glass of chocolate milk. Damon had been a bit worried when he noticed that the little vampire's appetite had decreased about as much as her sleep had. If it got any worse, they would have to do something against it. That's also why he was banking on Elijah. If the Original could get it out of Luna then he would allow him to see his niece as often as he wanted. Hell, he would trust the Original with his little niece. Not that he didn't already... to some degree at least.

"Other than your lecture on the history of Mystic Falls, how was it?" Damon raised an eyebrow at Ric.

The History teacher groaned and rubbed his forehead "It was boring. Of course, Jenna thinks he's charming."

Damon let out a little laugh "You sounded jealous. Sound a bit jealous?" he questioned his girls, frowning when he saw Luna pick at her food. The oldest Salvatore put his hand on hers, making her look up "Don't play with your food. Eat it." She sighed and stuffed a bite of pancake into her mouth gracelessly.

"There are Elijah and Jenna," Rose pointed out, getting the men's attention "Hi."

"Hey, guys," Jenna waved when she and Elijah stopped next to the table. The woman pulled up a chair, while Elijah leaned against the booth next to Luna, stealing one of her strawberry pieces.

Damon smirked at the Original. While they got along pretty alright, the younger of the two enjoyed teasing Elijah "So I hear you two had quite a meeting of historical minds today."
