Elena slowly woke up from a deep sleep feeling a bit confused. Whose chest was she sleeping on? And who was wrapped around her back?

"Rise and shine, sleepy head." Damon's voice sounded from above her head as the chest she was laying on vibrated.

"No, shh, keep sleeping." The person wrapped around her back murmured into her neck.

"Damon? Enzo?" Elena mumbled confused. "What's going on?"

"We got worried when you sent the text last night about staying with Mason and Tyler so you could explain to Carol about the supernatural." Damon told her softly. "So, we decided to come over earlier this morning to see if you were okay."

"When we found you sleeping, we didn't want to wake you so we decided to cuddle you instead." Enzo yawned at the end of his explanation.

"Okey." Elena hummed and relaxed against Damon's chest. "What time is it?"

"Around noon." Damon started to play with her hair.

"Oh." Elena murmured softly. "I should probably get up."

"Nooo." Enzo cuddled closer to her back.

"How about I cook some lunch?" Elena offered with a small laugh.

"Pancakes?" Enzo asked hopefully.

"Pancakes." Elena agreed and Enzo sat up quickly.

"Hurry up, you slow pokes!" Enzo called out as he walked quickly out of the room. "There be pancakes on the menu."

"I guess we should get a move on before he gets too impatient." Damon laughed.

"I'll be right there." Elena smiled. "I just need to go to the bathroom and brush my teeth."

"Shouldn't you wait until after the pancakes to brush your teeth?" Damon asked.

"I feel like a scorpion has built a nest in my mouth; I need to fix that." Elena walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

Fifteen minutes later Elena were mixing the pancake batter in the kitchen while Damon and Enzo were cuddling by the breakfast bar.

"Do you want blood in the batter or no?" Elena smiled at them.

They were frankly adorable and Elena was so very happy for them both. She had never seen Damon so calm and happy as he was with Enzo's arms around him and Enzo looked at Damon like he was the answer to everything.

"Blood." Came the answer from the lovers.

"Blood it is." Elena pulled out a knife and was about to cut her hand when Damon stood in front of her.

"What are you doing?" Damon looked at her.

"Putting blood in the batter." Elena said slowly.

"We thought you meant from a blood bag, gorgeous." Enzo spoke up softly.

"Well, I know that fresh blood tastes better than the blood from blood bags." Elena shrugged. "So, I was just gonna put some of mine in the batter."

"You don't have to injure yourself for us, spitfire." Damon said gently.

"I know." Elena reassured with a smile and cut her hand to pour some of her blood into the pancake batter.

"Here, you silly goose." Damon laughed and bit into his wrist so Elena could heal herself.

"Silly goose? Really, Damon?" Enzo laughed.

"It was the first thing that popped up into my head." Damon pouted, not that he would ever admit it. "Shut up."

Enzo pulled Damon into his arms with a bright smile, "I love you."

Damon's whole being lit up as Enzo said those three small words and Elena felt a pang of sadness hit her. Damon was so unused to people actually choosing him first and loving him without an ulterior motive that it made her sad.

Elena quickly turned around and mixed the blood with the batter so the others wouldn't notice the tears in her eyes. "So, what are your plans for today?"

"We were going to go to the cabin and just be with each other for a while." Damon said with a look that said that he would be blushing if he could.

"Aww, you two are adorable." Elena gushed as she turned around and saw Enzo with his face nuzzling Damon's neck. "Will you leave right after the pancakes?"

"Yeah, we are already packed and ready." Enzo hummed as he teasingly nipped at Damon's throat.

As she started pouring the batter in the heated pan, Elena started to hum, jumping between one song and the next without conscious thought. When all the batter was made into pancakes, she placed one plates in front of Enzo and the other in front of Damon.

"Dig in." Elena smiled happily at them as she took her own small plate of pancakes, hers without the blood, and sat down opposite the vampires at the breakfast bar.

"These are heavenly." Enzo moaned as he stuffed more pancakes in his mouth.

"I'm glad you like them." Elena chuckled.

After Enzo and Damon had helped her with the diches and then left to go to the Gilbert cabin Elena decided to take a shower and then maybe just laze around in her underwear and one of Jeremy's shirts.

XOXOXOX

Elena had been laying around on her bed for around thirty minutes after her shower when her phone rang. And when she saw it was Stefan, she decided to have a little fun, "Gilbert's crematorium, you ghost 'em, we'll roast 'em."

"What?" Stefan asked with a chuckle as she heard Klaus laughing in the background.

"Steffy, what can I, the oh so busy doppelgänger, do for you on this fine day?" Elena hummed teasingly.

"You're not doing anything." Stefan countered with an amused huff.

"I could be!" Elena protested.

"You answered your phone very quickly, indicating that you were holding it and the only time you actively hold your phone is when you're bored and have nothing to do." Stefan said patiently.

"I could've been watching porn." Elena huffed.

"She sounds much more fun than the other doppelgängers." Elena heard a female voice in the background as well as Klaus deep laugh.

"Who was that female voice?" Elena asked, though she assumed it was Rebekah. "Does wittle Stefan have a girlfriend?"

"Can we focus on why I called?" Stefan tried to change the subject, sounding embarrassed.

"I like her, Nik." Rebekah giggled.

"She's quite fun, yes." Klaus chuckled.

"Sure we can, but don't think I'll forget." Elena smirked. "What can I help you with?"

"Do you remember the necklace I gave to Caroline? The one filled with vervain?" Stefan asked.

"Yeah, Caroline gave it to me when she was turned." Elena told him. "Why?"

"Turns out that the necklace didn't actually belong to me." Stefan groaned awkwardly. "It turns out that I knew Klaus and his sister Rebekah back in the twenties and the necklace is hers."

"HA! I knew you had a girlfriend." Elena crowed as she wiggled on the bed.

"Elena! Focus!" Stefan snapped at her with amusement.

"Oh, right, sorry." Elena chuckled awkwardly. "What do you want me to do?"

"Could you bring it here to us?" Stefan asked slowly.

"Absolutely, but you're paying for the gas." Elena ordered him. "Where are you?"

"Well, love, I did promise to call when we were in a big city." Klaus took the phone from Stefan. "So, if you would be a dear and come to Chicago with the necklace, that would be grand."

"Chicago?!" Elena asked exited.

"Chicago." Klaus laughed in agreement. "And to sweeten the long trip I'll even pay for anything you buy as long as you help my sister in getting a whole new wardrobe."

"Nik, my beloved hybrid friend." Elena breathed out. "I could kiss you and you have a deal!"

"I might take you up on that." Klaus chuckled deeply.

"Where should I meet you?" Elena asked again, ignoring the blush she could feel rising on her face.

"Meet us a Gloria's Bar." Stefan said as he took the phone back. "And drive safe."

"Yes 'mom'." Elena hung up with a laugh. She almost squealed in excitement as she kicked her feet in the air. She was going to Chicago!

Elena quickly walked over to the wardrobe to get the biker outfit that Rose had bought for her as a gift before she left to meet up with Lexi. Black faux leather pants, tight white top, high heeled, knee high boots and a dark grey, almost black, jean jacket with lots of zippers.

She put Rebekah's necklace around her neck so she wouldn't lose it and then she sent a text to everyone in her Pack. She told them where she was going and that she would be careful before she picked up her Matt black helmet and walked out to her bike. Chicago better be ready for Elena Gilbert, because she was going to kick names and take ass... or was it the other way around?

XOXOXOX

Elena pulled up to the clothing store that Stefan had called to tell her about. Apparently, Klaus had become annoyed at the witch he was talking to and decided that they should meet Elena somewhere else instead.

As she walked into the store, she saw Klaus and Stefan sitting on a couch, drinking champagne, obviously waiting for Rebekah who must have been in the changing room.

"There must be more to this dress." Rebekah complained from the changing room.

"There's not." Klaus had a smirk in his voice.

"So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then." Rebekah walked out of the fitting room.

"Not all of us and not all the time." Elena piped up making Klaus and Stefan jump.

"You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers." Rebekah smirked as she met Elena, who had started to walk around the couch, half way." Hi, I'm Rebekah."

"Elena, but I think you already figured that out." Elena laughed.

"You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing." Klaus pointed out and then he smiled at Elena. "Hello, love."

"Nik." Elena smiled back, then she smirked and ruffled Stefan's hair. "Steffy."

"Do you have to keep treating me like I'm your younger brother?" Stefan mock grumbled as he tried to fix his hair.

"Yes. Technically you are physically younger than me so..." Elena laughed. "Suck it up, pretty boy."

"I'm not pretty." Stefan leaned back with a pout and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Of course not." Elena patted his head making Rebekah laugh.

"What is this music?" Rebekah asked with a frown. "It sounds like a cable car accident."

"It's dance music." Stefan stated.

"People actually dance to this?" Rebekah looked shocked.

"Yeah." Elena nodded. "But something you should know about this time is that a lot of things are based and built on sex and nakedness."

"Ugh, really?" Rebekah asked with a frown.

"Are we done?" Klaus wondered as he swirled the champagne around in his glass.

"You've never been shopping with a woman, have you?" Elena chuckled.

"No, but what has that got to do with anything?" Klaus looked at her.

"If we are done in three hours, we have been very fast." Elena smirked at him.

"Just nod and smile, nod and smile." Stefan whispered to Klaus.

"Oh, Rebekah!" Elena gasped as she remembered why she was there. She pulled the necklace from her neck and handed it to Rebekah. "I think this belongs to you."

"My necklace." Rebekah smiled brightly and took it. After she had put it on, she turned to the guys and gestured to the dress. "So, what do you think?"

"Truthfully?" Stefan asked and at Rebekah's nod he continued. "It's not really your style."

"He's right." Elena nodded. "I mean, you're absolutely stunningly gorgeous and you would look good in anything but there are better dresses for you."

"Thank you." Rebekah preened at the compliment. "I like you better than the other doppelgängers. You're much nicer and also prettier."

"Well, I have met Kathrine so the 'nicer' part isn't so hard." Elena laughed as Rebekah walked into the fitting room again.

"I need to get something to eat." Stefan stood up, then he chuckled when he saw Elena hold out her wrist. "I was thinking a hot dog or something."

"Oh, okay." Elena laughed as she watched Stefan walk out.

Elena walked around the shop after she had discreetly checked Rebekah's size on the clothes she had already tried and picked up some pants, a top, shoes and a jacket that she thought would look good on Rebekah.

"Hey Rebekah." Elena said and shoved the bundle of clothes into the fitting room, "Try this."

"Okay..." Rebekah sounded hesitant but she started to change into the clothes anyway

A few minutes later Rebekah walked out of the firring room wearing dark blue skinny jeans, a white top, dark brown leather jacket and black high heeled shoes. "So, what do you think?"

"You look awesome." Elena smiled in approval, making Rebekah smile back.

"She's right, little sister." Klaus agreed. "You look very nice."

"Thank you, Nik." Rebekah beamed at her brother, then she turned to Elena. "Help me pick out some more?"

"I would love to!" Elena bounced in place. "Any color you refuse to wear?"

"Not that I can think of." Rebekah looked thoughtful.

"Guys, we have a problem." Stefan said as he walked back into the store.

"And what's that?" Klaus sat up straighter.

"Kathrine is in Chicago." Stefan looked at Klaus. "I just ran into her."

"How about you two hunt for Kathrine or even take the necklace to the witch while me and Rebekah keep shopping?" Elena offered, seeing how bored both Klaus and Stefan were.

"Sounds like an excellent plan, love." Klaus looked happy to be getting away from the shopping, then he handed Elena a credit card. "I'll text you the code."

Before either Rebekah or Elena could say anything, Klaus had taken the necklace form Rebekah and him and Stefan were gone from the store.

"Stefan told me a little about what has been going on in Mystic Falls." Rebekah spoke up. "Thank you for trying to stop Nik from daggering Elijah."

"I don't think Elijah deserved to be daggered just because he was angry at Nik for 'burying his siblings at sea'." Elena's stomach fluttered and warmth filled her chest at the thought of Elijah. "Anyway, let's continue shopping, shall we?"

"We shall." Rebekah laughed.

"We must find you something expensive to buy though." Elena hummed and held up Klaus credit card with a smirk. "Nik is paying."

Rebekah laughed in delight and nodded as they both drank some of the champagne that was left. "Can you go and pick some more clothes for me?"

"Sure, I'll get right to it." Elena walked off further into the store.

After a few minutes of looking her phone buzzed.

Nik:

Here's the code: ****

Don't forget to get something pretty for yourself to.

Nik:

Lingerie ;)

Nik:

I will :P

After another hour in that store, Elena and Rebekah went to another one and another one after that one, six hours later they walked into Gloria's Bar, both of them carrying several bags and wearing different clothes than the last time Klaus and Stefan had seem them.

Rebekah was wearing a grape colored dress with a small black belt at the waist, a black jacket and black high heeled shoes, while Elena was wearing black skinny jeans, black high heeled pumps, a black corset and a leather jacket.

"You did not?!" Rebekah gasped in amusement as they walked in.

"I so totally did!" Elena laughed brightly. "And Rose asked Damon to remind her to never piss me off."

"What are you talking about?" Stefan asked.

"The time Damon used me as a threat against Rose if she ever betrayed us." Elena smiled.

"Oh?" Stefan looked confused.

"I just told her that I was really curious about how long it would take for a vampire to heal if you flayed them alive." Elena shrugged like they were talking about the weather.

"You are a wonder, little doppelgänger." Klaus chuckled as he looked at her.

"Why thank you." Elena smiled at him as she handed his credit card back. "And thank you for the clothes and jewelry."

"You're welcome, kitten." Klaus took the card with a smirk.

"Kitten?" Elena asked perplexed at the nickname.

"You are fierce and your bite is sharp but you are still adorable and beautiful." Klaus told her. "Just like a cat or a kitten."

Elena stood there for a while, then she just shook her head. "Okay, then."

"How is it going for you?" Rebekah asked as she looked around the room.

"She's failing." Klaus glared over at Gloria.

"It's not easy trying to find out something that the Original witch wants to keep hidden." Gloria snapped back.

Elena ignored them and walked over to the bar to find some bourbon or at least something decent to drink. After looking for a while she finally saw a bottle of Maker's Mark on a shelf, she tried to reach it but it was to high up when suddenly she felt a chest radiating heat against her back.

"Want some help, kitten?" Klaus purred in her ear.

"Can you reach the Maker's Mark?" Elena asked and pointed at the bottle, wondering silently what Klaus was doing standing so close.

"Anything for you, love." Klaus pulled the bottle down and gave it to her but didn't back away from her.

"Thank you." Elena murmured and quickly made her way around Klaus to get a glass.

There was a flash form where Gloria were doing her spell and said with flew against a wall. As Stefan ran over to help her up, she said. "I've got it."

"So tell me." Klaus huffed as Gloria sat down. "What do I need to make my hybrids?"

"Your mother was quite the smart woman." Gloria mused with a chuckled.

"Will you just tell me?!" Klaus sounded annoyed and frustrated.
