If looks could kill Bonnie would’ve been dead right now. She, Elena and Caroline had just finished lunch and they were now walking through the shopping street. Elena had been shooting dirty glances at Bonnie all day, but Caroline was too busy talking to notice. Or so they thought.
“You have to keep your eyes on the show windows, not on Bonnie” Caroline said a little annoyed. “You’re not wearing her tonight, Elena”
Elena shrugged and jerked her eyes from Bonnie. The next moment she let out a shriek. Caroline and Bonnie jumped up and looked at Elena, who was pointing at a dress in a show window. “Oh my God! I just…I want to have that dress. I need to have that dress”
“Okay, we’ll go inside and you can try it on” Caroline said. Elena ran inside, Caroline and Bonnie following her. Elena wanted to take the dress from the show window, but was stopped by a shopping assistant.
“Can I help you?” she asked a little harsh.
“Yes” Caroline said with a big smile. “My friend would like to try on the dark blue dress in your show window”
The shopping assistant looked at Elena as if she was mentally disturbed and as if it would be a huge waste of material to sell it to this girl. But she turned to Caroline, who was one of their regular clients, and said: “Naturally, miss Forbes” She walked to the show window and took the dress. She reluctantly gave the dress to Elena. “Please be careful with it. It’s silk”
Caroline treated the assistant with another big smile, then walked Elena to the fitting-rooms. While Elena tried on the dress, Bonnie leaned to Caroline. “Is it just me or was that assistant pretty rude?”
“Let’s put it this way” Caroline said. “If I wouldn’t have any money, Elena might not have gotten the dress”
Speaking of Elena, she came out of the fitting-room.
“Spin around” Caroline said. Elena spun around. “A little slower” Elena obeyed Caroline, then folded her hands.
“Do you think Damon will like me in this?” she asked afraid.
This time Caroline leaned to Bonnie. “This spell of you, does it stop her from saying any love declarations?”
“Not that I know” Bonnie said.
“Weird” Caroline said as Elena admired herself in the mirror. “Yes, Elena, Damon will love you in it”
“You have to keep your eyes on the show windows, not on Bonnie” Caroline said a little annoyed. “You’re not wearing her tonight, Elena”
Elena shrugged and jerked her eyes from Bonnie. The next moment she let out a shriek. Caroline and Bonnie jumped up and looked at Elena, who was pointing at a dress in a show window. “Oh my God! I just…I want to have that dress. I need to have that dress”

Elena and Bonnie were sitting outside the Grill, both having a lemonade, when both their phones rang.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
“Hello, Elena speaking” Elena said, trying not to give away anything and hoping Bonnie would be too caught up in her own conversation.
“It’s time” Damon said. “Meet me at the Boarding House. I’ll be in the car” He ended the conversation.
And so did Bonnie. “Elena, I’m so sorry, but I have to go” she apologized.
“Oh?” Elena said sheepish.
“Yeah, I’m having a date tonight” Bonnie blushed.
“Really? That’s great! Who’s the lucky one?” Elena fired her curiosity.
“Ehm, I rather not say. At least not until it’s official” Bonnie said.
“Of course, I get it” Elena said. Bonnie put some money on the table. “See you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tell me all that happened” Elena waved as Bonnie walked away. The moment she was gone Elena jumped up and ran away as if she was being chased.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.

Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent more time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but you know that. You basically stalked me with your calls to get you out of trouble. How many nights did you spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did you fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, you should be awake” she said with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t show any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…
