"Well, I was talking to Grams, and she said the comet is a sign of impending doom." Bonnie told Caroline, Elena and Claire as they hung out outside of the Mystic Grill. "The last time it passed over Mystic Falls, there was lots of death. So much blood and carnage, it created a bed of paranormal activity."

"Ooo, spooky" Claire said grinning. She always enjoyed listening to Shelia's stories, she found them interesting. It could be argued that she as the only one in Mystic Falls that actually thought so, everyone else just brushed the older lady off as a crazy person.

"Yeah, and then you poured Grams another shot and she told you about aliens" Caroline commented sarcastically. Claire rolls her eyes and nudges Caroline which she ignores. "So then what?" The older Forbes sibling questioned Elena wanting juicy details about her and Stefan.

"So then nothing" She said shrugging. Caroline's shoulders slumped. 

"You and Stefan talked all night? There was no sloppy first kiss or touchy feely of any kind?" She asked trying to extract something interesting.

"Nope" Elena said shrugging. "We didn't go there." 

"Not even a handshake?" Caroline questioned desperate for answers. Claire smirked eating her pickles. She quite enjoyed her sisters failure to get something scandalous from Elena. "I mean, Elena, we are your friends. Ok? You are supposed to share the smut"

"We just talked for hours" Elena said hoping that would be enough for Caroline but at the same time, she knew it wouldn't.

"Ok, what is with the blockage? Just jump his bones already!" Claire snorted at her sisters bluntness. "Ok, it's easy" Caroline continued ignoring her little sister. "Boy likes girl, girl likes boy, sex!" 

"Profound" Elena said smiling and then actually thinks about it before she got up.

"Where are you going?" Bonnie asked.

"Caroline's right. It is easy. If I sit here long enough, I'll end up talking myself out of it instead of doing what I started the day saying what I was going to do." Elena said.

"Use protection!" Claire hollered. Bonnie and Caroline laughed a little bit as Elena hurried away faster. "I'm getting more pickles."

"She sure loves those pickles" Bonnie commented. Caroline rolls her eyes.

"Tell me about it, she never ate them before the pregnancy and now Mystic Falls is about to have a shortage" Bonnie smiles and laughs a bit.

The next day three of them; Caroline, Bonnie and Claire, hang around the town square, not doing anything in particular. Caroline and Claire stuck together, as always, and talked to other people while Bonnie gathered programs to hand out for the Comet Festival. Elena eventually returned to help her out.

"Hey, I got some candles" Caroline said later that night as the comet flies over their head. Her, Bonnie and Clair link arms, Caroline in the center. Matt walks up to Elena and the three of them leave the two of the alone.
