so were at a dress shop, Niklaus is mad, Stefan is broody, Rebekah is a little better than Niklaus

"there has to be more to this dress" Rebekah says

"there's not" Niklaus says

"just come out, I'm sure you would look ugly in a trash bag too" I groan

she comes out in a bad black dress

"oh sis, stick to lighter colors" I chuckle

"women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then. You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers" Rebekah wines

"you wore trousers so women today could wear nothing" Niklaus comments

"besides less clothes means getting them off faster" I smirk

"ugg your gross, and what is this music? It sounds like a cable car accident" she wines

"its dance music" Stefan comments

"I agree it sounds awful" I add

"are we done" Niklaus growls

"dude get that stick out of your ass" I grumble

"why are you so grumpy anyway" Rebekah asks

"I need one thing from you for my witch to find out why my hybrids are dying, one thing. Your necklace. And you lost it" He cries

"I didn't lose it It's just been missing for 90 years" Rebekah says

and I bust out laughing "wow Bexs you are awesome, you know if you hadn't been daggered for falling in love you might be okay"

"so I'm bad because I fell in love" she asks

"love is weakness sister" Niklaus says "Henrik is the only one who seems to get that"

she rolls her eyes and looks at Steffi

"So what do you think" she asks

"I like it" Stefan says totally lying

"okay Stefan is an awful lier, I'm telling you. You look horrible in black" I say drinking my Champaign

she goes back in

"nice going" Niklaus says to us

"hey Stefan is the one who can't lie" I defend

"your the one who took the dagger out of her" Stefan grumbles

"I heard that" Rebekah shouts out

"All right. I'm going to get some fresh air" Stefan says and leaves

"how come he gets to leave when he wants and I don't" I ask

"cause you will run" Niklaus tells

I shrug "it could be fun Niklaus, I run, you chase"

"or I could kill your brother Jeremy" he threatens

"your not going to do that, its your only leverage. You already killed my sister" I state

"don't test me Henrik" she growls

"alright you kill my brother, I kill every single Hybrid you ever make" I snap back

Rebekah is out in a red dress

"now see you look gorgeous in that one" I comment

"who is Jeremy and why do you call him brother, and sister" she asks

"yes, yes the family I was born in to. My little sister was the doppelganger, Jeremy my little Jerm of a brother is still alive. That's why Dick head got me to come" I tell
