SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

Matt walked with only his mouth agape as he and the others walked through Stefan's house, while the girls had, of course, been here many times since Stefan returned, it was Matt's first time. Aella just loved the look of boyhood wonder as he gazed around.

Caroline, ignoring her boyfriend, pulled him to the sitting room, "This is much better than watching Damon visit cougar town." She winced when she heard her words out loud and looked to Matt, "No offense."

Matt was too enamored to really notice, "Don't remind me." He looked to Stefan, "Man, I've always wanted to see what it looks like in this place. When Aella got the photo project here, Freshman year, I was so jealous."

Stefan never liked showing off his wealth, ordinary teens didn't have that, "Yeah, I guess it's a bit much."

"Hey!" Aella frowned, "It's not your fault. This is a family home, you can't exactly tear it down and build something smaller." She squeezed Stefan's hand that held hers, "Love it, like I do, for the history, and memories; old and new."

Stefan expressed his love for and gratefulness with a smile and squeeze back to her hand.

Matt then looked at him and Aella and joked, "No, it really is too much." Caroline hit him at that, but Matt just laughed it off, "My entire house could fit in here. like twice."

Caroline turned to the group, "So? Movie?"

Matt then let go of Caroline's hand and moved towards Stefan's precious miniature car collection, "Whoa; these are great!"

Caroline whirled on Aella and gave her a disapproving stare causing the brunette to throw her hands up, "What?! It's not like I knew we were coming here, and I had to hide them. Don't blame me."

Aella rolled her eyes and looked to an equally annoyed Caroline,

Stefan had already moved forward and admitted the nerdy hobby that usually had Aella squealing at him for being passionate about. She knew Caroline would not feel the same, and knowing everyone needed the night to go normal, she rushed to the two boys, "How about we watch Fast and Furious? Cars. Fast. Vehicles I don't care about, but it will get us away from here!"

Matt, like other residents of Mystic Falls, ignored Aella's ramblings and turned to Stefan, "I did the entire Mustang series when I was nine."

Stefan's eyes lit up, "You like cars?"

"Aella!" Caroline whined, not knowing where this was going except it was not watching a movie.

Matt smiled at the vampire, "It's an understatement."

Stefan could only smirk, "Come with me."

The two boys turned to leave when Aella stood in front of them, fiercely frowning with her arms crossed, "No! We will be normal and watch a movie Caroline and I will hate. Still, we will love that fact our boyfriends are spending quality time with us..." Aella then let go of her arms and turned to Caroline pleading, "I can't do the normal girlfriend angry act at her boyfriend for not wanting to watch a movie with me. He loves his cars, Matt loves cars, let them bond."

Caroline could only glare, and Aella sank under that glare as Stefan and Matt walked past the tiny witch, Stefan kissing her lips as he passed in thanks.

Caroline pointed her manicured finger at Aella, "You. Owe. Me."

"Yes, Ma'am," Aella whimpered and then ran after the boys before Caroline murdered her.
