• With Stefan •
#SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE#
[Stefan walks into the library, books are strewn haphazardly across the room. When he enters, he sees Damon, looking through the shelves and tossing aside books. Stefan stops and looks at him.]
DAMON : Not your concern.
DAMON: [flipping through a book, not looking up at Stefan] Hm hm. What are you talking about?
DAMON: [looks away from his back and at Stefan] Oh, yeah. Elena and I had blast.
DAMON: You're pathetic when you're fishing.
DAMON: Don't you have school?
[Damon grabs another book off the shelf. Stefan walks out of the room and Damon looks up and watches him leave.]
MYSTIC GRILL
• With Bonie, Ben •
[Bonnie starts to walk away from the table when Damon approaches her. She stops and looks at him.]
DAMON: I think we need a fresh start.
DAMON: But I didn't, and if I wanted to, I would have. Does that not count for anything?
[Ben walks over to Bonnie and Damon.]
DAMON: Yeah, we're fine. •to Ben•
[Damon, controlling his urge to kill Ben, grimaces, and walks away. Ben moves to stand in front of Bonnie.]
• With Stefan •
#SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE#
[Damon is sitting at a desk in the library, jotting down names of the Founders of Mystic Falls. Stefan walks into the library, holding something behind his back. He approaches Damon.]
DAMON: [commenting on Stefan's '50s styled hair]
You got the hair right.
[Stefan drops a journal down on the desk in front of Damon.]
Why are you bringing me dad's journal ?
DAMON: And why would I want it?
[Damon retrieves the journal from the end of the desk and flips through the pages.]
DAMON: I'm not surprised. Man could barely spell his own name.
DAMON: You? Help me? Aw, I don't know. Seems a little unnatural.
DAMON: What about the other 26 vampires?
DAMON: What are you doin'? Hmm? What's your angle?
DAMON: Why would I trust you?
[Stefan grimaces at Damon, pats the journal, and leaves the room.]
• With Elena by Phone •
[Damon, still sitting at the desk, hears Stefan's phone go off.
He walks over to it and picks it up, seeing that it's Elena.]
DAMON: Stefan's phone. How may I help you?
#Gilbert House#
[Elena quickly walks down the stairs and anxiously speaks to Damon.]
ELENA: Where is he?
DAMON: He's on his way to you. Forgot his phone.
[Elena stops in the living room.]
ELENA: [sighs] Oh, thank God. This compass was spinning.
[Right above Elena, Noah is braced to the ceiling looking down at Elena.]
Stefan must be here. Thank you.
DAMON: You're welcome.
[Elena hangs up.
Suddenly, Noah jumps down from the ceiling.
Elena spins around and gasps.
Noah grabs Elena and extends his fangs, getting ready to bite her neck.
Elena screams.
Before Noah can bite her, Stefan yells from the kitchen and rushes in.]
[Stefan pulls Noah off of Elena and throws him over the couch.
Elena loses her balance and falls to the floor.
Stefan looks down at her, worried.
Noah grunts and gets up from the floor and vamp-speeds out of the house.
When Stefan is certain that Noah won't be returning, Stefan dashes over to Elena.
Elena pushes herself off the floor and Stefan embraces her. Elena, still frightened, tightly holds on to Stefan.]
[Elena looks at the front door, still worried that her attacker will return.]
[Stefan and Elena have been joined at the house by Damon.
Damon paces around the living room while Stefan and Elena sit on the couch next to each other.]
DAMON: How did he get in?
ELENA: He was invited in.
DAMON: Well, he gets points for that. Did he say what he wanted?
ELENA: No. He was too busy trying to kill me.
DAMON: No. [Stefan looks unconvinced] Don't look at me like that. I told you we had company.
ELENA: You think there's more than one?
DAMON: We don't know.
[Damon sits on the arm of the couch.]
[Damon nods, understanding what Stefan is hinting at.]
DAMON: Then we go get him tonight. [to Elena] You up for it?
ELENA: What do I have to do?
DAMON: Let your boyfriend take you to the dance. We'll see who shows up.
DAMON: Till we get him, this house isn't safe.
For anyone who lives in it. It's worth a shot.
ELENA: I'll do it.
[Stefan looks anxious. Damon nods, agreeing. Elena grabs Stefan's hand in her own and looks at him.]
ELENA: I'll be with the two of you. I'll be safe.
[Stefan nods and looks up at Damon, who shrugs his shoulder.]
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH SCHOOL -
THE '50S DANCE
[The students of Mystic Falls are dressed in their best '50s getups and dancing to "This Magic Moment". Caroline and Bonnie are dancing together on the dance floor. Elena and Stefan, arms linked, walk into the dance, with Damon standing on the other side of Elena. They look around the dance floor for any sign of danger. Alaric spots Damon from the other side of the room and the smile falls from his face as he recognizes who Damon is. Suddenly, Jenna approaches Alaric.]
[Bonnie and Caroline are still mingling around the punch bowl. Damon approaches them.]
DAMON: Hi, Bonnie. Wanna dance?
[Bonnie and Caroline look at him with disgust. Bonnie starts to walk away but Damon blocks her with his body.]
DAMON: Please give me another chance.
[Bonnie doesn't respond and moves around Damon, walking away from him. Caroline glares at Damon.]
[Caroline follows Bonnie. Damon watches them leave. Stefan and Elena approach Damon.]
ELENA: Where did they go?
DAMON: I don't know.
DAMON: I was perfectly polite. Elena... Would you like to dance?
ELENA: I would love to. (Firstly I thought Elena really say Yes to Damon)
[Elena looks up at Stefan.]
ELENA: May I have this dance?
[Stefan lends her his arm and she takes it. Elena looks up Damon with a devilish smile. Damon rolls his eyes. Elena and Stefan go onto the dance floor. Stefan twirls Elena around and pulls her into him. Elena wraps her arms around his neck, smiling brightly, as they sway to the music. Across the room, Noah, the boy with the hoodie, watches Elena.]
• With Alaric •
[Stefan and Elena, both smiling broadly, continue to dance to a fast paced song. Damon watches them from off the dancefloor. Alaric approaches Damon.]
[Alaric and Damon shake hands.]
DAMON: Ah, the, uh, cursed faculty position.
DAMON: Damon. Salvatore.
DAMON: He's my little brother. I'm his legal guardian, hence the chaperoning.
DAMON: Well, his attendance record's a little spotty. Family drama.
DAMON: Mm, it's just the two of us now.
DAMON: On and off. Travel a bit.
DAMON: You, too.
[Alaric pats Damon on the arm and walks past him. Damon watches him leave.]
[Back out on the dancefloor, Damon has found a girl to dance with. He gropes her bottom and they glide across the dancefloor. Elena watches from the punch bowl with Stefan. She laughs and looks up at Stefan.]
DAMON: Hey, dickhead. [Noah looks back at Damon, who has a stake in his hand.] Nobody wants to kill you. We just wanna talk.
[Noah smiles and rushes back towards Elena. Damon throws the stake to Stefan, who grabs it and stakes Noah in the stomach. Noah grunts and falls to his knees. Damon walks over towards Elena and Stefan so they can interrogate Noah.]
[Stefan digs the stake in deeper. Noah groans in pain.]
[Stefan digs the stake in a little bit more.]
[Stefan, Elena, and Damon all look shocked.]
DAMON: You knew Katherine?
[Damon leans over towards Noah.]
DAMON: Tell me how to get in the tomb. Hmm?
[Stefan leans back down and drives the stake in deeper.]
DAMON: Where is it?
[Stefan drives the stake in deeper. Noah gasps.]
[Outside of the cafeteria, Anna looks in, looking helplessly as Noah is tortured. Damon stands up and grimaces.]
[Out in the hallways, a door open. Anna hears this and runs off before she is caught. Alaric appears from down the corridor and walks towards the cafeteria.]
DAMON: Who else is there?
[Damon looks at Stefan, rolls his eyes, and nods. Stefan removes the stake from Noah's stomach. Stefan waits for a moment then stakes Noah in the heart. Elena gasps in shock. Noah falls to the floor and begins to desiccate.]
ELENA: What do we—how are you gonna find the others now?
DAMON: He had to die.
ELENA: But...
[They hear a door open and see Alaric coming through one of the door's windows. Stefan looks at Damon.]
[Damon walks out of the cafeteria. Stefan wraps his arm around Elena, comforting her. Outside, Alaric is quickly walking down another corridor. Damon turns the corner and sees him. He vamp speeds in front of Alaric and Alaric stops abruptly.]
[Damon starts to compel Alaric.]
DAMON: What were you doing?
DAMON: Why are you in Mystic Falls?
DAMON: Do you know what I am?
DAMON: Is everything you're telling me the truth?
DAMON: Then forget we had this conversation.
[Damon walks away. Alaric stands still for a moment, shaken by the encounter, he looks down at his closed hand and opens it, revealing that he has vervain.]
[Stefan and Damon are leaning against a doorway, facing each other, in a corridor, as they talk about the night's events.]
DAMON: There's no way that idiot was workin' alone.
DAMON: Look at you puttin' the pieces together. Good for you. I was half-right. Well, it's out there now. Let the games begin.
DAMON: Yeah, with some hidden caveats, no doubt.
DAMON: If I agree?
DAMON: Why should I trust you?
DAMON: No, that's not gonna cut it.
[Damon pauses for a moment, thinking if this is an acceptable reason to trust Stefan. Then he nods.]
DAMON: Ok.
[Stefan nods, sealing the terms to their agreement.]
