He kisses her again and she pushes him away and retorts, "If it rains, we won't be able to see the comet?" He responds and assures her, "Its not going to rain." Back Outside, there's more fog closing in and back inside, he continues and admits with a smile, "Listen, I got you a little something." She smiles as he continues, "Its back in the car? Why don't you, stay right here?" She nods and they kiss again, and he leaves and goes to the car. There's a whoosh sound of vampire moving at vamp-speed and then, back inside, she hears a dripping noise, like rain.

She grabs her black jacket and she's carrying her brown bag on her arm. She leaves her room and bumps into Jenna, who's wearing a purple dress, black heels and her hair is flowing in curls. She asks Elena, her opinion about what she's wearing, "Do I look, adult? As in respectfully parental?" Elena responds and retorts with a smile, "Depends, where you're going." Jenna responds and explains, "Jeremy's parent-teacher conference. Hair up or down?" Elena nods and retorts with a smile, "Sexy stewardess, boozy housewife." Jenna nods and comments with a smile, "Up it is. You're feisty today." Elena nods, sighs and admits sternly with a smile, "I feel good, which is rare, so I've decided to go with it. Fly free, walk on sunshine, and all that stuff." Elena looks inside Jeremy's room and sees him not there and asks curious, "Where is Jeremy?" Jenna responds and explains, "Something bout, getting ready to leave early, to a workshop and bout finishing a bird house?"

Now, the comet will be at its brightest, right after dusk, at tomorrow's celebration." Mr. Tanner notices Elena and Stefan flirting with each other and he sighs and comments with a smile, "Mr. Salvatore, are we bothering you?" He says nothing and Mr. Tanner looks over to Elena and retorts, "Ms. Gilbert, am I interrupting you?" She shakes her head, scared. He nods and then, the bell rings and she smiles. They leave.

*The Hallway*

Elena and Stefan talk. Stefan pulls out a brown ancient book of Wuthering Heights and says with a smile, "I brought it, I told you."

She nods and gives it back to him and retorts intrigued, "How did you get it?" He responds and admits, "It was passed down, through the family." She nods and smiles. He continues and admits with a smile, "I have lots of books. Go ahead, keep it?" She smiles and retorts sternly, "Oh no. I But I would like, to read again?"

My ancestors were these really cool Salem witch-chicks or something They turn a corner as she continues, "Grams tried to explain it all, but she was looped on, the liquor, so I kinda tuned out. Crazy family? Yes. Witches? I don't think so." Caroline retorts and recalls with smile bout Damon, "Yeah, well, feel free, to conjure up the name and number of that guy from last night." Bonnie responds and retorts with a smile, "I didn't see him, you did. Why didn't you, just talk to him?" She responds and retorts, "Idk, I was drunk." Bonnie laughs.

Jeremy walks out of the building and goes over to the stoners pit and sees Tyler flirting with two girls, near his friends and Jeremy comments pissed off and recalls bout Vicki, "Hey, Tyler?" He looks over to him annoyed as Jeremy continues, "I was wondering, how Vicki is doing, since ya'll are so close?" Tyler nods and smiles as he continues, "Is she k?" Tyler nods and retorts tired, "She's fine. Now get out of here?!" Jeremy doesn't leave and continues, "Really, well, how bad is she?" Tyler turns to him agitated as he continues, "Do they know, what attacked her? Is she going to, make a full recovery?" Tyler opens his mouth to say something, but he continues and cuts him off, "Was she happy to see you and what room number was she in?" Tyler responds and says upset, "I'm going to kick your ass!" Jeremy takes a step forward to him and retorts with smile, "You know, you keep saying that? But you haven't actually done it! Cause, I vote for right here and now?" Jeremy pushes him and he hits into the gate and Tyler says serious and sternly, "Walk away, Gilbert, this is your final warning?!" Jeremy shakes his head and retorts sternly, "No, this is your final warning, Tyler? I'm sick of you, playing Victoria, if you hurt her, one more time. I swear to God, I'll kill you!" Jeremy leaves.

Matt and Elena are walking together under the trees and they're talking bout Vicki. "They're keeping her overnight, just to make sure, she doesnt have an infection. But she's coming home, tomorrow." Elena nods and retorts relieved and says sternly, "That's good news. Did you get in touch, with your mom?" He nods and retorts with a smile, "I called and left a message? She's still in Virginia Beach with her boyfriend, Hector. So, lets see, how long, it takes, for her to come rushing home?" Elena nods and says with a smile, "Well. Vicki's lucky, that she's okay." Stefan overhears their conversation, from a far, sitting on a bench. Matt nods and retorts sadly, "I know. And now, there's talk of some missing campers." Elena nods and asks curious, "Did she say, what kinda of animal, attacked her?" Matt nods and recalls with a smile, "She said, 'it was a vampire.'" Elena looks at surprised and retorts still in shock, "Wait, what?" Matt nods and explains, "She wakes up in the middle of the night, and mutters vampire, and then, passes out." Stefan looks shocked and gasps upset. Elena nods and retorts astonished to Matt with a smile in disbelief, "K, that's weird." Matt nods and remarks, "I think she was drunk." Matt sees Stefan sitting on the bench, waiting for her and retorts, "So, wassup, with you and the new guy?" She looks over to him and then, back to Matt and retorts sternly, "Matt, the last thing, I want to do? Is to hurt you." He nods and retorts sternly, "You know, I'm going to go head back to the hospital, so, when, Vicki wakes up? I'll get the real story, bout last night." She nods and says, "K." He leaves, and Elena looks back to where Stefan was, only to find hes not there anymore.

Jenna is sitting in a chair at a desk and Mr. Tanner is sitting on his desk with a file in his hand. "As Jeremy's teacher, I'm concerned. He's skipped six of his classes." She nods and leans forward and asks sternly, "Mr. Tanner, are you aware that Jeremy and Elena's parents died?" He nods and retorts with a smile, "Four months ago. A great loss. A car accident. Wickery Bridge, if I'm remembering correctly?" She nods and he continues, and retorts confused, "You're related to the family how? The mother's kids' sister?" She nods and retorts with a smile, "Younger sister." She sits up straight and cotinues, "Yes." He nods, smiles and she asks in disbelief, "Six classes, are you sure? That's kinda of hard to do." He shakes his head and retorts to her, sternly with a smile, "Not when you're on drugs." She looks at him astonished as he continues, "Its his attempts at coping, Ms. Sommers. The signs are there. He's moody, withdrawn, argumentative, high, hungover." She sighs upset as he continues, "Are there any other relatives in the picture?" She shakes her head and retorts sternly, "I'm their sole guardian." She glares at him as he continues and remarks, "Un-huh. Could there be?" She responds and takes offense to that upset, "What are you suggesting, exactly?" He smiles and retorts, "Its an impossible job, isnt it? Raising two teens." She shakes her head and admits with a smile, "Its been tough, yes. But no, its not..." He cuts her off and retorts sternly, "Wrong answer: It is an extremely impossible job, and if its in, any consolation? You're not doing it, properly!" She nods and sighs pissed off.

Stefan walks in and goes to find Victoria's room, but sees Matt walk in, from the other side of the building and down the hall and Stefan hides behind the wall and watches as Matt goes in Vickis room and he sees the bed empty and shes behind him in a trance and he turns to her and says with a smile, "Woah. Vik, hey?" She says nothing still in shock and in a trance and comments concerned now, "Vicki, hey? Its me, what's wrong?" He grabs her by the arms, and she struggles against his hold and screams hysterically, "No, let go of me?!" It scares him and he says calm and sternly, now, "Hey, its Matt. Your brother, you're going to be k!" She shakes her head and Matt runs to find the nurse, to check up on her. Stefan sees and flashes inside of the room and holds Vicki down on the bed and compels her to be calm and bout what she saw, that attacked her, 'It was animal that attacked you, it came out in the night and you blacked out. That's all you, remember?' She nods and repeats what he said, "That's all that, I remember.' She falls asleep and Stefan flashes out the room and Matt and the nurse walk in and sees Vicki in bed, peacefully sleeping and she comments to Matt sternly, "She's seems fine." Matt sees Stefan leaving and he follows after him and Stefan notices and then goes into a blood donation room and disappears out the window. Matt walks in and looks out the window and doesnt see him.

Bonnie speaks and admits, "I was talking to Grams and she said the comet, 'It was a sign of impending doom. It was lost and embed, in so much blood so, it created. A large amount of paranormal activity...'" Caroline cuts her off and remarks, "Mph. And, so you poured, your Grams another shot, and she told you about the aliens?" Bonnie looks at her upset and Elena notices and says nothing. Caroline looks over to Elena and asks bout Stefan, "So then, what?" Elena smiles and retorts, "And then, nothing Caroline cuts her off and retorts with a smile, "So you and Stefan talked all night, and there was no kiss or touchy-feely stuff of any kind?" Elena nods and retorts sternly, "Nope, we didn't go there." Caroline smiles and retorts, "C'mon, Elena, we are your friends, we're supposed to share this stuff?" Elena responds and retorts sternly, "Well, I'm sorry, but there's nothing, to tell Care. Caroline sighs and Bonnie says nothing. Elena thinks it over and then, grabs her bag and stands and Bonnie comments with a smile, "Where are you going?" Elena turns back to her and retorts agreeing with Caroline, "Care's right, it is easy Caroline smiles in shock as shes actually taking her advice. "If I sit here, long enough, I'll wound up, talking myself, out of it? Instead of doing, what I said, I'm not going to do." She leaves.

*Back at The Gilbert's House- The Kitchen*

Jeremy walks in and Jenna is standing behind the counter and says sternly and retorts with a smile, "I picked up dinner on the way home. Tacos, I had an urge for Guacamole." He grabs his black jacket from off of the chair and retorts with a smile, "Thanks, but I'm not hungry." She nods and retorts, "No, no. Hey, its a rouse. I want to talk!" He starts for the door and she says not in the mood, "Hey, you? Come, Sit, Down!" He sighs and sits at the counter and she reveals to him, with a smile about her past, Back in school, freshman year, I could eat my way in nachos with extra cheese..." He says nothing and she continues with a smile, "It was my munchie food, for whenever I got stoned." He looks at her astonished and retorts with a smile, "You get high?" She nods and retorts, "I did. Past tense. But yea, I loved it." He smiles as she continues, "Anything to get a little distraction from life." She takes the ingredients out of the bag and continues, "Reality and it worked. For a while, never last though..." He gets up and sneaks out as she continues and admits, "Now, I'm not saying, that I wouldn't love to get back to it and kick it?" She goes over to the refrigerator and opens it and continues, "But with a new thesis looming and a waistline expanding..." She sees him gone and sighs.

*Back at The Hospital*

Vicki is sitting up and looking at the tray food revolted, and she sees Matt asleep in the corner of the room, in a chair, snoring. She grabs the red Jell-O from off of the tray and throws it at him with a smile and he wakes up and says in shock, "What?" She looks over to him and retorts with a smile, "Finally, you're awake!" She laughs and he sits up and asks concerned, "Yea, and how are you feeling?" She smiles and retorts, "I'm good." He nods and retorts, "You look better..." She smiles as he nods, continues, "I was worried, before, you really had me concerned about all that screaming?" She looks at him surprised and retorts confused, "What are you talking about?" He looks at her surprised and retorts in shock, "You dont remember?" She responds and retorts with a smile, "I feel fine." He nods and says sternly, "K, good. Good. The doctor said that you can come home, tomorrow." She smiles and then he asks curious, "Vik, what attacked you in the woods?" She responds and retorts, "An animal. What else couldve it been?"

He responds and retorts with a smile, "Well, you, gotta to get over that?" She shakes her head and retorts sternly, "Look, Tyler is finally showing some interest in me and I..." He cuts her off and sighs, "Ugh, you have to get over that too?" She says nothing as he continues and remarks with a smile, "I mean, do you see Mr. Concerned, here?" She laughs as he starts looking under her smock for Tyler, "Tyler, are you under there? No." She laughs and then, retorts with a smile, "Its not cool, for people to know. K?" He smiles as she continues, "I'm older than you. If Matt and Lena, find out, they would freak?" He shakes his head and retorts with a smile, "Nobody's gonna to suspect anything.

She nods and says with a smile, "Thank you." He smiles and retorts, "Yea, you're welcome."

*Back at The Salvatore Boarding House*

Elena walks over to the front door and rings the bell, and nothing happens. So, she knocks on the door and it opens it and she walks in and asks, "Stefan?" She gets no response and walks in further, looking around her surroundings and then sees his bag down on a chair and she asks again, "Stefan?" She still gets no response and she sees the ballroom and she smiles at the décor. Then hears a sound and turns back to the front door and then slowly walks over to it and then sees a crow flies in and she ducks and when, she turns back, she sees a man in front of her and its not Stefan. He smiles at her.

*A Few Minutes Later*

Elena says scared and apologizes, "I'm sorry for barging in, the door was unlocked and..." She looks back to it and sees it closed and then, back to Damon and continues, "Open." He responds and retorts with a smile, "You must be, Elena? I'm Damon, Stefan's older brother." She looks at him surprised and retorts in shock, "He didn't tell me, he had a brother." She smiles at him and he nods and retorts with a smile, "Well, Stefan's not one to brag. Please come?" They walk together and continue talking, "I'm sure Stefan, will be along, in a second." Elena looks at the red and gold fabric and dark brown décor on the walls, ceiling and bookshelves, she sees a lit fireplace in the middle of the room and says impressed with a smile, "Wow, this is your living room?" He nods and retorts with a smile, "Living room, parlor, ballroom, etc. Its a little too much, for my taste." She says nothing still in shock and he comments with a smile, "I see, why my brother, is so smitten..." She looks over to him with a smile as he continues, "Its about time, for a while there, I never thought, he'd get over the last one?
