Damon was leaning against a cart and Bonnie's beside him, they are strolling through the aisles of an deserted store. Bonnie and Damon are fighting over the cart handle as Hope pushed her own kiddy cart that was full with candy and snacks.

Damon pushed Bonnie's arm off. "I got it," Damon said stubbornly.

Bonnie sighs, "Okay." She picks up a small piece of paper. "We need strawberries," She said as Hope put her weekly juice box supply in her cart and Damon hummed in response. "Eggs, milk and - ooh candles.

She picks up a candle and sets it in the cart. The action made Damon stare at her a second.

Damon stood up straighter, but still rested his arms on the handle "I know it's been awhile, but you couldn't do magic as an anchor, so I'm curious what momentary lapse reason makes you think you can do it now?"

They turn the corner to another aisle.

Bonnie rolled her eyes at Damon's negativity "You know, when all this started, you sucked at making pancakes but now they're somewhat edible." She shrugs. "Milk," Bonnie paused.

Damon stops the cart, opens one of the many fridges and takes out a big carton of milk, he sets that in the cart as Bonnie and Hope walk further to the sunglasses shelf, "There's no reason to be Peter Pessimist." She continued.

She heads over to a rack of glasses and sets blue shades on her and passes one to Hope and holds the other on in her hand. "We have proof we're not alone."

"First of all. Don't nickname, that's my thing." Damon pointed to himself and strolled over to Bonnie with the cart, he snatched another pair of glasses from her.

"And this proof," Damon sets the blue glasses on his face, so now they all are wearing it. "This mysteriously filled in crossword, could very easily have been you."

Bonnie leans on the cart, "I didn't. Fill. It. In." Bonnie said. She knew the real reason Damon was bring so negative. He didn't want to get his hopes up about going back home.

"No. You don't know you filled it in. You also don't know that you talk in your sleep. Eggs." Damon said making Bonnie glare at him.

Bonnie opens the fridge beside them and grabs the eggs. "What are you saying? Are you saying I sleep crossword?" Bonnie sarcastically remarked.

Damon took the glasses off to look at Bonnie. "I'm saying it makes more sense than the alternative." He snatched the eggs and slams them in the cart as Bonnie took off her glasses.

Bonnie stared at Damon "I get what you're doing."

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I know! I know!" Hope yelled excited that she knew the answer.

"What am I doing?"

Bonnie ruffled Hope's hair and looked at her cart, taking note of what it was filled with, then turned her attention back to Damon. "You refuse to have hope that you'll see Elena again so you don't have to be disappointed."

They turn the corner again.

Damon loudly said, "I refuse to have hope because there's nothing to hope for."

Bonnie stops suddenly, pausing "Pork rinds."

Damon stops the cart, Hope doing the same. Hope looks at the shopping list and then at Bonnie. "Not on the list and eww."

Bonnie shakes her head at the No, Damon, Hope," she emphasizes each of their names. "There were pork rinds on this shelf, There have been pork rinds here on every shopping trip we've had for the past 4 months."

Suddenly an electronic chime playing melody comes on.

They all look around the grocery store. "You hear that?" Bonnie asked as she hurried out of the store. Damon follows, there is a small horse carousel outside the door, playing.

Hope on the other hand stays inside. After a while she heard crunching noises. She followed the sound until she found the source of the noise.

The dark haired girl turned her head to see a male lounging on a chair munching on pork rinds. Her eyes widened a bit, shocked. He looked up and saw her standing there, chewing still "Bonnie and Damon right? Always at each other's throat, huh, Hope?"

Hope looked surprised that he knew her name and he noticed. "Sorry, where's my manners, I'm Kai! Nice to meet you." He held the bag out to her, gesturing for her to take some. "Pork rind?"

Hope looked at him, "You don't even know the half of it Kai Parker." This time it was Kai's turn for his eyes to widened.

"How do you know my name?" He asked.

"What do you want?" Hope avoided his question.

"I want- no, sorry, need your connection with the nemeton." Kai said.

And that was all Hope remembered before everything went black.
