It's the night of our dreams

Tonight was the night, the most important night for any high schooler prom night, Bethan just wanted one perfect high school moment. Beth was inside trying on a dress accompanied by Bonnie and Caroline, They come out of a fitting room together.

"So What kind of dreams?" Caroline asked their witchy best friend.

"Usually I'm at his grave and all of a sudden, he appears to me." Bonnie summed up Bethan talks while inspecting herself in a three-way mirror.

"Well, you never got to say goodbye, Bon. You're grieving, that's normal." She tried to make her friend smile as twirled in the dress.

"When I woke up, the couch was on fire." The Bennett witch informed them.

"Oh." The blonde commented Beth turned to face Bonnie.

"I don't know if it's because I was emotional in my dream, or if Shane was right. Without his help, I'll lose control of my magic." Her friend both disagreed with idea not liking the idea of that creep worming his way back into the Bennett witch's life.

"No, it's because you need a night off from mourning. And we gonna make sure that you have it." Bethan instructed her turning round to give Bonnie her best It happening look.

"Um, you look super hot, by the way." Bonnie complimented her friend

The werewolf gave a twirl.

"You think?" She asked it was rare for Bethan to wear a dress that wasn't black or red and pink was definitely new territory.

""Oh yeah." Bonnie and Caroline both agreed making the youngest Gilbert smile.

"Matt, Bon and I are gonna have the sexiest date there." Caroline laughed.

"You know what, I love friend-prom. And it's exactly what prom should be-- friends and memories." Bethan stated Bonnie agreed straight away nodding her head.

""Yes, it sucks that my boyfriend can't be here, but the three of us are gonna have the night of our lives." Caroline spoke up The door jingles as someone enters the shop. Bethan looks up and her smile falters. Elena and Rebekah entered the store.

"Hey, Bonnie. Heard you got your mind wiped-- that sucks." Elena started, she took a look at Bethan.

"Pretty dress, Beth" she commented seeing her sister in the pink prom dress.

"I know. You helped me pick it out months ago when you gave a

Damn about being my sister" Bethan replied to her older sister tilting her head.

"I thought it looked familiar." She shrugged off and Bethan choked down a growl.

"Can you press this for me? I'll pick it up later. Bonnie? Caroline?" Bethan turned wanting her friend to have nothing to do with Elena right now They go back to the fitting room while Elena watches them with a sly look on her face.

Bethan spend the day getting pampered, her nails getting done, she treated her self to a facial, she only wished she could have shared this with her mother. Bethan went to the dress shop to collected her dress and it wasn't there her first thought Elena. She was about to have a break down when she thought of one person who could save her and that led the young werewolf into the Mikaelson mansion.

Klaus is standing and staring at the fireplace when Bethan voice calls to him. He doesn't respond.

"Klaus? Klaus?? Kl--" she called when the teenage finally enters the room and sees him.

"Hello? Did you not hear me?" Bethan asked him after screaming his name around the mansion.

"Of course I heard you, bethan. I think the whole of Mystic Falls heard you. I'm in no mood for company." He snapped at the girl, bethan rolled her eyes.

"Well, I'm sorry that you're having personal issues, but I have a real crisis on my hands. Elena stole my prom dress!"bethan whined Klaus finally turns and faces her. With a seriously? Look on his face.

"I went to pick it up and the tailor said that somebody else already did. And when I asked who, she said she couldn't remember." That's what led Nancy drew to her answer She gives Klaus a significant look but whenhe doesn't respond.

"Hello? The vervain is out of the town water supply. She was compelled!" Bethan made it seem like the word thing in the world and klaus couldn't help but start laughing

"It is not funny." Bethan growled at the original not understand what could possible be funny about it.

"No, I know, I know." But the hybrid could stop laughing not helping the situation.

"Then stop laughing! Look, I know that prom isn't important to you, but it's important to me. I just want one perfect high school moment" she told him or more like begged him.

"Well, surely finding another dress is well within your substantial queen bee capabilities?" He asked bethan was frustrated and turned on the spot.

"Oh, but I don't want just another dress." The werewolf informed him she faced Klaus again.

"I wanna look hot. Like Princess-Grace-of-Monaco-hot. Blair waldorf-wedding dress hot." The werewolf stated and gave klaus her sweetest smile.

"So...could you please go back into your creepy trophy case of family collectibles and dig me out something of royal caliber?" She practically begged Klaus smiles back, clearly still amused.

"I'll see what I can do" he spoke.

Bethan finally arrives at the dance in a stunning lilac dress smiling to see her classmates enjoying themselves. Elena approaches her sister.

"So how do I look?" Clearly trying to get a rise for her, Elena watch as Bethan's eyes had tints of the werewolf yellow threatening to show

"Are you kidding me? You look like a back-stabbing bi--" She stops when she sees Stefan approaching behind Elena. Bethan continues with less fervor.

"The dress is beautiful, and it brings out your eyes."clearly lying through her gritted teeth.

"Thanks. I thought I'd do it a favor." That's when Bethan lost.

"favour? Oh sorry I thought you meant tragedy. I mean first you copy the hair style I had three years ago and now you take my dress, I get that I'm better than you elena but trying to copy me is really kinda pathetic" Bethan sweetly spoke elena went to respond but stefan stepped in

"Bethan, why don't you come dance with me, hm?"He asked and Beth takes his hand and they move to the dance floor, leaving Elena looking rather pissed.

"I know you said to kill her with kindness, but can't I just kill her?" Bethan practically begged her sister ex boyfriend as the two began dance

"I see you found a dress?" Stefan changed the subject off the werewolf murdering her sister under the disco ball.

"It's from Klaus." And the vampire grinned.

"Mm?" Bethan rolled her eyes

"Don't ask." She said shaking her head knowing what the vampire was going to say.

"You know you have him wrapped around your little finger, right?" Stefan informed her as he twirled her around.

"If I had Klaus wrapped around my finger, then caroline would be here with Tyler right now. Are you making any progress with the dress thief?" Bethan was worried about her sister no matter how Much she hated her right night

"I don't know. I think it's affecting me a lot more than it's affecting her." Bethan gave him a confused look which she had to ask about.

"What do you mean?" She asked tilting her head to the side.

"Every time I tell myself that I'm moving on, there's this part of me that just can't seem to shake her." Stefan confided in his ex's sister and Bethan just smiled.

"That's normal, Stefan. You guys were in love, and that doesn't go away just because you declare that you're moving on." The werewolf explained the boy was over 100 years old and still didn't have a clue.

"Well, then how does anyone ever seem to move on?" He asked there was something about the younger Gilbert that made her easy to talk to.

"I don't know. I think that someday, you'll meet someone new and you'll fall madly in love, and you'll have moved on without even realizing it." Stefan gave Bethan a this look of lost hope making her feel bad for the younger Salvatore.

"or do what I did to get over Tyler, get under someone new" she winked at him causing stefan to laugh.

"I'm leaving tonight" Bethan new she had to tell someone so she decided it would be him.

"what do you mean?" He gave her this confused look not getting it at all.

"a friend of mine from that art programme I was on is running a course this summer and offered me an assistant position" she lied to stefan through her teeth being very careful to keep her breathing steady.

"so your just leaving?" He couldn't believe Bethan would just run off.

"I'll be back for graduation we both know I'm not gonna get into college, I need to secure my future" stefan pulled her in for a hug shocking the brunette.

"Well good luck then, you'll do great"

Rebekah is talking to April at the voting table for prom court.

"I can't just make you prom queen. It is based on votes, and you have approximately none so far." April told the original shrugging.

"And you can't just help out a friend?" Rebekah practically pleaded with the 16 year old.

"No, I can't. And you can't make me. I drink vervain tea now." She warned not wanting anything to do with Rebekah.

"I was not going to compel you." The blonde original defended her self.

"Even if I wanted to Bethan has this thing locked down, she already has 96% of The votes" April truthfully informed her shaking the box.

"how on bloody earth did she manage that?" Rebekah exclaimed that's when Damon joined the conversation.

"easy girls wanna be her, guys wanna do her" he simply put it on his way to find the soon to be prom queen.Damon comes to stand next to Bethan

"Aren't you on "Save Elena" duty?" The brunette wondered seeing the fact he wasn't chasing after her sister.

"I'm taking a little breather." He admitted Beth nods, taking a deep breath and exhales.

"This prom sucks. This is our last dance together, and it's awful. This is not how I wanted to remember this night." The werewolf exclaimed Damon offered her the hip flask he's carrying. The green eyed girl looks at it and Damon nods encouragingly Bethan finally takes it.

"Thank you." She takes a sip and they both sigh one after the other. She hands it back to Damon.

"Right about now chad warner should have spiked the drinks fountain so I'll be getting drunk" Beth told Damon, he raised his hip flask saluting her.

April begins to speak from a podium on the stage.

"Hey. Okay, the ballots have been tallied, which means it's time to announce this year's prom king and queen." She spoke and everyone settled down.

"This years winners by a land slide and being crowned your king and queen are Matt Donovan and Bethan Gilbert" everyone began to cheer as the spot light shined around the room looks for its royalty tonight. Bethan and Matt walked on stage, April placed the crown on both of their heads handing Queen for the night a bunch of roses.

"Well what can I see we weren't expecting this" matt spoke to everyone before letting Bethan have her moment.

"thank you everyone, this is something I've always dreamed of since I saw my aunt Jenna at her prom" everyone laughed.

"have the best night everyone" beth smiled and matt an her moved over to the side for pictures

Bethan left the prom ready to go home when she saw klaus.

"I believe congratulations are in order" he spoke motioning to the crown on her head.

"Thank you but what are you doing here?" She asked confused on why klaus would even come to the dance

"to give you your perfect high school moment, can I have this dance?" The hybrid asked, the music in the gym turned to a slow song and Bethan places her hand in his.

"Do you think we'll ever see each other again?" Bethan asked resting her head on his shoulder.

"possibly one day, you can always take my offer up of me showing you the world?" Klaus tried seeing the look on Bethans face.

"I thought so" he slowly dipped Bethan down pulling her back up st the song ended. The were kissed his cheek and smiled.

"thank you" she whispered before heading off into the night.

Bethan got changed and grabbed her bag, securing her mother's necklace around her neck, she heard a beep letting her know it was time to leave, she left a written letter for Elena. Bethan threw her bag in the boot of the red convertible climbing in the passenger seat,

"you ready to find our family?" Hayley asked her freaky new relative.

"as I'll ever be... New Orleans here we come" she spoke seeing the town sign in the cars review mirror.
