People don't change

"People don't just change like that." Jeremy spoke once he returned to the room.

"People don't usually merge with their siblings either." Damon snarked, raising his glass of bourbon to his lips.

"Ah for the record, I would have been fine with any of Luke's qualities. The hair, the whole gay thing...although might have got that actually," Kai tilted his head before continuing, smirking as Jerome winked at him while the others in the room groaned at the flirting, "you know, maybe not the height actually."

"You seriously buy this?" Jeremy pointed to Kai, frowning at Elena.

"Look, I'm not saying that we have to like him, if there's a way for us to tell Bonnie how to get out-"

Cutting Elena off, Jeremy spoke up again, agitation lacing his voice,"We should trust the guy who changed personalities over night and is currently besties with Jerome?!"

"I take offence to that! I am a great person to be besties with, right Kai?"

Rolling his eyes, Kai looked up at Jeremy, ignoring Jerome, "Think of it like Elena in reverse. I know she was human, pure, dating the good Salvatore,"

"She was never pure or good!" Scoffing, Jerome jumped down from the pool table, pouring himself a glass of alcohol and then making one for Kai.

"Then she became an undead blood-vacuum, stopped caring about right and wrong, started dating the bad one." Kai finished, smiling as he took the glass from Jerome, clinking his glass with Jerome's before taking a drink.

"That's not how it happened." Elena rolled her eyes as she spoke annoyed.

"That is exactly what happened!" Jerome giggled, pointing to Elena whilst holding his sides.

"I'm just paraphrasing what Damon told me in the prison world." Kai shrugged not caring, taking a sip from his drink.

"Speaking of, there's a witch over here that we'd like to save. So, why don't you get your Gemini jumper cables and fix that thing?" As Damon spoke, Jeremy glared daggers at Jerome who pretended not to notice, sitting next to Kai.

"Okay." Kai smirked, downing his drink before going to work on the ascendant. Elena, Damon and Jeremy watching on in anticipation while Jerome groaned bored.

"So I can't send us back psychically, but I can probably send a part of us back." Kai spoke after a long silence, completing the ascendant and looking up at the expectant faces, chuckling slightly as he saw Jerome act asleep.

"Probably?" Elena frowned, glancing at Damon before speaking to Kai.

"You remember the movie, Ghost? Okay, well Bonnie is gonna be Demi Moore because she's the alive one obviously, and well all be a collective Patrick Swayze. The ghost. By the way, how much does that suck? About Patrick Swayze."

"Will she be able to see us or not, Kai?" Elena rolled her eyes, interrupting his rambling.

"I dunno,  I've never done this before. So lets just all take a deep breathe right? Close our eyes." Everyone closed their eyes as Kai began to chant, Jerome seeing an opportunity stood directly in front of Jeremy and closed his eyes with a grin.

The wind blew viciously around their forms, a bright light slipping past their closed eyelids before everything stopped. Jeremy opened his eyes, screeching and falling backwards in shock as Jerome stood inches from him, laughing manically at the boys reaction.
