Sincerely Yours [Stefan Salvatore]

[12. Decade Dance Disaster]

[1x12; Unpleasantville]

Lucy looked at the clock, noticing that it had been almost fifteen minutes since she ordered pizza for herself, Jeremy, and Elena. The only pizza place in town—other than Papa John's, which Lucy despised—usually took fifteen minutes at the most, depending on your order.

She grabbed her wallet and left her room to go downstairs and wait for the delivery person.

"Lucy."

Lucy gave Stefan a hesitant smile as she stopped and turned around to face him. He had just left Elena's room when he heard her leave hers and he wanted to give her the vervain that she had been persistently asking about lately.

"I brought you some vervain," he told her, holding out the wooden box.

"Thanks, Stefan," Lucy stuck her wallet under her arm to hold in place while taking the box from him.

"I made a bracelet for Jeremy," Stefan pointed out as she opened the flap. "There's extra for Jenna and Caroline. You can put it in jewelry or you can even put it in food or drink. As long as it's in them or on them, a vampire can't control them."

"That's a lot to remember," Lucy sighed, picking up the black bracelet Stefan mentioned. There was already so much on her mind and now she had to worry about the new vampire in town trying to compel her friends and family.

"I know," Stefan gave her a sympathetic smile. "But with a new vampire in town...we have to be careful."

Lucy nodded and opened her bedroom door, placing the box full of vervain on her desk. She shut the door once more and turned to Stefan.

"Thank you, Stefan. Really."

"It's no problem. You've been asking for it," Stefan shrugged, shoving his hands in his jean pockets. "How are you doing? Have you talked to Jenna—"

"Lucy!" Jeremy called from downstairs. "The pizza's here!"

"Coming!" Lucy yelled back. She smiled apologetically at Stefan but she was secretly happy that Jeremy interrupted Stefan's question. She hadn't yet talked to Jenna about the adoption. "I'll see you later..."

Stefan smiled and nodded as Lucy turned to go down the stairs.

Lucy shuffled through her wallet and pulled out a twenty-dollar-bill and a ten, handing them to the man standing in her foyer. She had never seen him before, so the pizza place must have just hired him.

"Thanks," she exchanged the money for the pizza. "Keep the change."

The man smiled, "Thank you. Have yourself a good night."

Lucy smiled and shut the door as the man walked out, turning to face Jeremy with the pizza in hand. "Dinner!" she declared loudly, hoping that Elena could hear.
