Stefan called Rebekah that night, he wanted to make sure that she wasn't daggered for betraying Klaus. He actually enjoyed spending time with her.

"It's awfully late for you to be calling me, Mr. Salvatore," Rebekah teased as she answered her phone.

"I see you're not daggered," Stefan smiled.

"No, he didn't dagger me. But he kicked me out. I'm living in a new house now," Rebekah said, sadly.

"You didn't need him anyway," Stefan tried to comfort her. "I think you'll do fine without him in your life."

"Maybe," Rebekah smiled.

It had been a couple days and Eira was assigned to help set up the Miss Mystic Falls pageant. Caroline requested her to and Eira didn't mind because she was in a good mood. She was actually happy and she felt like nothing could break the little blissful bubble she was in.

Eira was putting flowers on the tables. She got to the table that Caroline and Elena were at and she smiled widely at them. Caroline gave her an odd look. They were talking about how Elena's feelings for Damon were increasing and Caroline was grossed out. Caroline kept noticing that Eira kept a wide smile on her face and she was even humming as she put the flowers on the table.

"Why are you so happy?" Caroline questioned.

Elena looked at her as well, wondering the same thing. Eira looked up at them and her mood only seemed to get brighter as she thought about it.

      The morning after she told her brothers she was going to do what she wanted. She did. She knocked on the door of his house and waited for him to answer.

     The door opened and Klaus stood there. He was shocked that she would be there unless she wanted something from him that her brothers wanted which would disappoint him.

      "You told me to do what I want," Eira started. "I woke up this morning and I wanted to see you so here I am."

     Klaus smiled and she smiled back at him. They had been spending their time together after that. Eira liked being with him and Klaus wouldn't ever refuse her.

"I've been spending time with Klaus," Eira bit her lip.

Elena didn't like her spending time with Klaus and Caroline was somewhat repulsed by it. Elena spoke,"How can you forgive all that he's done?"

"Well, how can you forgive all that Damon's done? He's killed people," Eira replied and Elena shut up.

Caroline was going to say something but she saw Klaus in her vision coming closer to Eira and she said,"There's your Prince Charming."

Eira turned around and smiled brightly. She ran to him and she threw her arms around him in a hug. He wrapped his arms her and he smiled.

Caroline and Elena looked at them and Caroline commented,"They're so cute."

"How can you think that?" Elena asked.

"She lost her memories and she's still clearly in love with him. That's romantic," Caroline answered.

________________

Eira pulled away from Klaus and she tucked her hair behind her ear. She bit her lip and looked up at him,"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you," Klaus answered.

"You saw me yesterday," Eira said and she started walking.

Klaus followed her like a puppy dog,"That's simply too long, love."

Eira smiled from in front of him and she turned around, making him stop. She spoke,"So you just came here to see me?"

"Well, I wanted to ask you if you would come on a date with me?" Klaus questioned, nervously. He was only nervous when it came to her.

"What do you have in mind?" Eira asked, widely open to the idea.

"You're attending the Miss Mystic Falls pageant. Allow me to take you?" Klaus asked with his head down but his eyes were looking at her, giving her a pleading puppy look.

"Okay," Eira smiled, widely. "You need to wear a tux and I already have a dress."

Klaus just nodded with a smile. He grabbed her hand and he brought it up to his lips. He kissed the back of her hand and he said,"I'll see you tomorrow."

________________

    It was the next day and Rebekah was going to the Miss Mystic Falls pageant because April Young had requested her help on picking out a dress and she agreed to help. Rebekah opened the door of her house to leave to find Stefan there.

   Rebekah smiled and Stefan said,"I swear I wasn't hanging out here like stalker. I was just about to knock."

   "You don't have to knock, silly," Rebekah stated, walking out of her house and past Stefan. "What do you want?"

   "I was hoping to be your date," Stefan revealed and Rebekah turned around, just noticing Stefan was in a tux. "You look amazing by the way."

   "I know I do," Rebekah said confidently before saying in a small voice. "Why are you being so nice to me?"

   Stefan held out his arm,"We're a team, remember?"

   Rebekah tried to detect if there were any lies in his voice. There wasn't. She hesitated but she looped her arm through Stefan's. He smiled and she gave a small smile back.

   ______________

   Stefan and Rebekah arrived at the pageant and Stefan spoke,"Your brother threatened me this morning."

    "That doesn't surprise me," Rebekah stated. "What did he want?"

   "He wants me to have Jeremy kill more vampires," Stefan revealed.

   "Why are you here with me then?" Rebekah asked.

   "I figured it could wait a day," Stefan looked at her and smiled.

    Rebekah looked up at him to find Stefan staring at her and she smiled back at him,"I'll be back. I have to help April. You're my date so you better not leave."

   "I wouldn't dream of it," Stefan swore and Rebekah left.

    _______________

Rebekah went inside the Lockwood house and up to the room where April told her to meet her. Caroline and Elena were there with April helping her choose a dress.

Caroline and Elena glared at Rebekah and Caroline said,"What are you doing here?"

"I invited her. I wanted her here," April said and Rebekah smirked at Elena and Caroline. Caroline rolled her eyes and Elena dropped the glare for April's sake.

"Which dress?" April held up two dresses. One blue and one red.

     Caroline and Elena said blue while Rebekah said red. Rebekah spoke,"The red one is clearly better."

   "I think I like the red, too. The blue seems a little too safe," April said.

    "Safe is good when it comes to the judges," Elena said.

    "She's right. Gracie Lockwood had a three-foot slit her year and practically got laughed off the court," Caroline said.

   "She got my vote," Damon came into the room.

   "Get out lurker!" Caroline threw something at Damon and it hit him in the chest.

   "Ouch," Damon said sarcastically. "What's Barbie Klaus doing here?"

   "I was invited," Rebekah sighed.

    "Where's Professor Shane?" Damon questioned.

    "Check the judges' table," Caroline answered and closed the door on him but he put up a hand and stopped it.

    "The red one, definitely," Damon gave his opinion.

    "See, the red one," Rebekah said to April.

     "The red one is a little too showy," Caroline stated.

   "It's a pageant. That's the whole point," Damon said.

    "Did you win Miss Mystic last year? No. I don't think you did," Caroline gave a fake smile.

   "Neither did Elena and she wore blue," Damon stated.

    "Nobody cares what you think," Caroline said.

   "I care," April said.

    "See? April cares. Red, right, Elena?" Damon looked at Elena.

    "The red is pretty," Elena agreed and Caroline couldn't believe that she agreed with him.

  "And my work here is done," Damon smirked and left the room.

    "Uh, what happened to thirty seconds ago when you hated the red one? What happened to safe is good?" Caroline questioned Elena.

   Rebekah held a knowing look and she smirked. Elena had a glazed look over her eyes and then she came back to reality. She looked at April,"Whichever one you want to wear, April."

   Elena left the room and went after Damon. Caroline just stood there shocked. She looked at Rebekah and she asked,"Why do you look like that?"

    "I'm sure you'll figure it out," Rebekah said and she looked at April. "I'll be outside."

   April nodded and Rebekah left. Caroline was left to figure out the puzzle Rebekah gave to her.

    ________________

   Rebekah found Stefan and he noticed her blissful mood,"What happened?"

   "I'll tell you later. You simply won't believe it," Rebekah said.

    Stefan grabbed her hand and entwined it with his. They took a few steps to go sit at a table when Klaus stepped in front of them.

   "Now, I know I told you to get Jeremy to kill more vampires. Instead your on a date with my sister," Klaus stated in threatening way.

   "Go bother someone else, Nik," Rebekah glared.

    "I should've daggered you for releasing Elena," Klaus took a threatening step towards Rebekah.

   Stefan stepped in front of her and Klaus chuckled. Klaus took a step towards Stefan. Before he did anything else and things got out of hand, Eira arrived.

   "Klaus," she called his name.

    Klaus turned his head to her immediately to find her walking towards him. Klaus glared at Stefan one more time before walking to Eira.

   Stefan let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and he turned to Rebekah. Rebekah spoke,"If it wasn't for your sister, I would be stuck in a box and you would be dead."

   "Yeah, we would," Stefan said. "So, why don't we celebrate?"

   Stefan held out his hand and Rebekah hesitantly grabbed it. Stefan immediately twirled her around, surprising Rebekah. He twirled her back to him and she said,"You've completely lost it."

    "Maybe," Stefan said. "The way I see it. We came to a pageant where they have to dance. No one said we couldn't dance either."

   Rebekah smiled up at him and he smiled back. He twirled her again and she laughed. The crowds of people looked at them with strange looks thinking they were crazy. Stefan and Rebekah simply didn't care, they were too happy to notice anything else.

     _______________

   Klaus met Eira halfway and she looked behind him at Stefan and Rebekah. She gave Klaus a questioning look,"What were you doing?"

   "Nothing you need to worry about, love," Klaus smirked.

     Eira shook her head but she grabbed Klaus's hand and led him away from Stefan and Rebekah. She led him to the line of people standing as Caroline spoke, announcing the Miss Mystic Court.

    "You look lovely," Klaus stared at Eira, not even paying attention to anything else.

    "You're supposed to be paying attention," Eira scolded.

   "But I am. I'm paying very close attention to you," Klaus clarified.

    Eira blushed and she bit her lip. She looked up at him and he was staring at her intensely. She got lost in his stormy blue eyes. She liked staring into those eyes. It was familiar.

    Eira turned her head away from Klaus's stare. She just grabbed his hand and held it. She rubbed circles with her thumb on his hand and she laid her head on Klaus's shoulder. His breath hitched at all of her actions. He just let her do what she pleased. As long as he was close to her, she could have whatever she wanted.

     ________________

  The pageant went as planned. Jeremy escorted April and danced with her. The judges decided who won and it was April. Once the winner was announced, Eira pulled on Klaus's hand, wanting him to come with her.

    Klaus looked at her with a questioning look and she answered,"I want to leave. But I want to spend more time with you. At your place."

    Klaus just nodded his head and he followed her. Once they were far enough away from the people at the pageant, Klaus vamp sped her away to his house.

    Eira had been spending time with Klaus for the past few days and he had been teaching her how to paint. They went back to doing that when Klaus brought her back to his house.

    Klaus was concentrated on explaining how to paint a certain way when Eira got an idea in her head as she looked at him. She had gotten bored after awhile of painting and she wanted to make things more fun.

    Eira took her paintbrush and she brushed it across Klaus's cheek. He froze and he looked at her. She wore a teasing smile and she was holding in a laugh at the pink color on Klaus's cheek.

   "You just put paint on me?" Klaus questioned, but it was more like statement.

   "Uh huh," she nodded her head with a smile.

   Klaus smirked and he wiped the pink paint off his face with his hand. He stepped closer to her,"I think you have something on your face, let me get that for you."

   Klaus reached out his hand with all the paint on it and he smeared it across Eira's cheek. He put his hand down and spoke,"There, all better."

   Eira kept the smile on her face. A smile that meant she was up to something. She walked over to all the cups of paint and grabbed one.

   She turned around to him and he shook his head,"No, Eira. Don't."

     Klaus vamp sped to her to keep her from throwing the paint all over him. But Eira had already started throwing the paint out of the cup, aiming it towards him. When he vamp sped in front of her, the pink paint was all over him.

   Eira giggled, thinking the color pink on him was much too hilarious. He playfully glared at her and he reached behind her and grabbed another paint cup. A green paint. The color of her eyes.

   He poured it all over and he smirked,"There, now, love. You're wearing my favorite color."

   She wiped the paint from her face with her hands the best she could and looked up at him with a smile. She had fun. She was happy.

   _______________

   Eira had taken a shower in one of the guest rooms of Klaus's house. He got her some clothes that Rebekah had left there. She put them on and went downstairs, fully refreshed.

   She found Klaus in the living room with new clothes and he was paint free. He looked up at her and said,"I hope you enjoyed that."

   "I did. Immensely," Eira smiled. "You're so cute in pink."

   Klaus rolled his eyes,"That's the last time you'll see me anywhere near pink."

   Klaus vamp sped in front of her and smirked,"You think I'm cute."

    Eira was at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say and she blushed bright red. She looked down and Klaus chuckled.

   "Don't worry, love. I think I'm perfectly cute as you put it as well," Klaus smirked wider.

   She looked up at him and shook her head,"You're impossible."

     Klaus's breath hitched at her words. She had said those words before, twice. He decided to say the same thing he always said.

    "Yet you deal with me, anyway," Klaus said.

   "Yes, I guess I do," Eira spoke and Klaus smiled.

   He was the happiest he had ever been. Even if she didn't remember him, she still thought the same. That was most relieving realization he had ever thought. It meant he could win her back and she would still love him. That was all he wanted, for her to love him.

  After the pageant, Stefan took Rebekah home and then he went to the hospital. He found a man who had killed somebody and didn't regret it. He turned the man into a vampire and took him to the Lockwood Cellar. Then he texted Jeremy to meet him there and he did.

    He had Jeremy kill the vampire. Stefan called Damon telling him he was making Jeremy kill vampires while waited to see if the mark grew. Stefan hung up the phone and he asked Jeremy,"How far did the mark grow?"

   Jeremy turned around and said,"Sorry, Stefan, but I can't trust you."

   "How far is it, Jeremy?" Stefan demanded.

    "I said I can't," Jeremy denied.

     "Answer me or I will make you answer me," Stefan threatened.

     "I am not telling you anything," Jeremy said.

   Stefan compelled Jeremy,"What does the mark look like?"

   Jeremy stabbed Stefan in the stomach with a stake. Stefan groaned in pain and he fell to his knees while Jeremy spoke,"I guess I can't be compelled anymore."

    Jeremy then left him, picking up a bag of stakes on his way out. Stefan eventually got the stake out of his stomach and healed. He noticed the bag of stakes gone and he knew he was going to kill vampires so he went to the Gilbert house.

   He got there just in time as Jeremy was about to stake Elena. He pinned Jeremy to the wall away from Elena. Matt was there and Jeremy went with Matt, away from Elena.

     Stefan got the mini stake out of Elena's neck.  Stefan explained to her that he thought the urge to keep killing vampires grew as the mark grew. Elena got mad at Stefan when she found out he had taken her brother to kill vampires.

   Stefan really didn't care. He was going to get that cure. He wanted it for Rebekah and for himself. He left Elena on her own.

   Elena had to move out of her house and to the Salvatore's so Jeremy didn't kill her. Stefan wasn't there as he went to Rebekah's.

   Stefan knocked on Rebekah's door and she answered,"I told you that you don't have to knock."

   "It's, uh, polite to knock," he smiled at her.

   Rebekah left the door open and he followed her inside. She got to the living room and she asked,"Well, what do you want?"

   "Why do you always think I want something?" Stefan asked.

   "Because most people do. They just like to use me. That's all you people ever do in this town," Rebekah answered.

   "The only thing I wanted was to talk to you. I like talking to you," Stefan said.

    Rebekah looked at him for a moment before saying,"Fine, talk away."

   Stefan smiled at her answer and then he told her about his day after he left her,"I made Jeremy kill a hunter. Didn't want Klaus getting mad."

   "Yes, my bastard of a brother," Rebekah said and then she looked hesitantly at Stefan. "I want to show you something."

    Rebekah left the room and then came back a minute later. She had one of the daggers in her hands. "I stole it from Nik. I could only find one."

   "It's one more dagger he can't use against me," Rebekah smiled.

   "I'm glad," Stefan smiled. "I wouldn't want you to be daggered."

   Rebekah sighed and she put the dagger down,"You should know something that concerns your brother."

   Stefan gave her a questioning look and she explained,"When I went to go see April. Elena was there and Damon showed up. She completely changed her mind on a dress that April was choosing. It was like she had to agree with him."

   "What are you saying?" Stefan asked.

     "Elena is sired to Damon," Rebekah revealed.

    "You're absolutely sure?" Stefan questioned.

    "Yes, I'm old, Stefan. I've seen people being sired," Rebekah rolled her eyes and Stefan chuckled at the way she answered.

     Stefan got serious again though,"Thank you for telling me."

    "Well, you're really my only friend in this town," Rebekah revealed, sadly.

     Rebekah hid her feelings though and gestured with her hands to the house,"Feel free to make yourself at home."

   "You don't have to hide your feelings, Rebekah. You can trust me," Stefan said sincerely.

   "And I never know when someone might stab me in the back. So, I think I'll be careful," Rebekah said and left the room, making Stefan frown.

    _______________

   Eira stayed with Klaus when it became night. She slept in one of the guest bedrooms. She didn't want to get his hopes up that everything would go back to normal and that she would be with him again. She wanted to get to know him and be around him, but she didn't want to take things too far. Her feelings were still a confusing mess but she would try to figure them out.

   Author's Note: Okay, I won't be updating again till Friday. I got homework and finals coming up.
