TVD 9x08 (part 2) Enjoy! =)
Cut to ā A beautiful beach resort in Mexicoās Mayan Riviera. Bonnie, Damon, Caroline, and Stefan are checking in.
RECEPTION LADY: Welcome to Akumal, Mexico; the best kept Caribbean secret! (They hand them some welcome cocktails).
BONNIE: (Amazed with the tropical beauty) This place is paradiseā¦
DAMON: (Takes a sip of his cocktail, wraps his arm around Bonnie) Me, you, and this beautiful beach, definitely paradise (kisses her).
CAROLINE: (Looking at a brochure) Bonnie, look, they have yoga on the beach, every day at 7am; Iām signing us up! And they also have a spa, we totally need some massages, how do hot stones at five sound?
DAMON: Slow down, Care Bear, no need for an itinerary; thatās the whole idea of a vacation.
BONNIE: Yes, Care, forget about time! We are free to do what we want, when we want; no plans required, thatās the beauty of it.
CAROLINE: You are rightā¦ Iām putting control freak Caroline on pause; no need to panic if thereās no scheduleā¦ right? (They laugh at Carolineās struggle to let go) Iām just gonna let careless Caroline take over from now onā¦ Oh! They have meditation at sundown! (Bonnie takes the brochure from her hands) Pause, Iām pausing!
STEFAN: (Who has been looking at a brochure as well) Ooh, they have a libraryā¦
DAMON: (Takes the brochure from his hands) Are you freakin kidding me?!
STEFAN: Okay, okayā¦ pause on the bookworm play on the chill.
BELLBOY: Let me show you to your rooms.
Cut to ā Mystic Falls, the Mayorās house. Edward is lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Anthony knocks.
Ā EDWARD: Come in.
ANTHONY: Sir, I brought you some tea (gives him a cup).
EDWARD: Thank you (takes a sip). You always know exactly what I need.
ANTHONY: If I may say, Sir, Iām concerned. You havenāt left your room in days.
EDWARD: Just meditating, is all.
ANTHONY: Oh, really? So this has nothing to do with the unexpected visitor staying at your guest house?
EDWARD:Ā Iām surprised he didnāt demand to be given my master bedroom. After all, it is his houseā¦
ANTHONY: He might have paid for it, but it is your home, not his. I know this must be very difficult, having to see him again, let along having him under the same roof.
EDWARD: Well, I donāt even remember the last time he was around, so itās basically like bedding a stranger.
ANTHONY: Sir, you know I donāt like to intrude in your business matters, just promise me you will be careful.
EDWARD: I will, but there is no need to worry, Anthony, I have this under control.
ANTHONY: With all due respect, Sir, you lost that control the moment you allowed him to walk through the door.
EDWARD: I appreciate your concern, but trust me, I know what Iām doing.
ANTHONY: If you say soā¦ Well, Iāll leave you to your thoughts now; good night, Sir.
EDWARD: Good night, Anthony.
Cut to ā The Salvatore School. Alaric is showing Tyler and Lexi around.
Ā ALARIC: So, what do you guys say?
LEXI: Never thought of myself as a teacher, but I think it could be fun, Iām in!
TYLER: Me too. Might not be the best role model, but letās be honest, who is?
ALARIC: Great, welcome to the faculty! (Katherine walks by).
KATHERINE: So, Ric, are these my new colleagues?
LEXI: Are you kidding me?! (Looks at Alaric) Alaric?
ALARIC: Please donāt judge me, she can be very persuasive. Plus, she does have some cool tricks to teachā¦
TYLER: Does Caroline know?
ALARIC: Not yet.
TYLER: Sheās gonna kill you.
ALARIC: Iām hoping her vacation time will ease the news.
LEXI: Oh, it totally wonāt! Good luck with that.
KATHERINE: Well, Iām late for my class, and those little brats are a recipe for disaster. See you at the teacherās lounge (winks and walks away).
Cut back to ā Akumal, Mexico. Damon and Bonnieās hotel room. Bonnie comes out of the bathroom, changed into beach attire.
DAMON: (Completely taken with her beauty) Godā¦ you are so beautiful (they kiss; things start to heat up. Bonnie takes his shirt off, he takes her beach dress off; they move on to the bed. He unties her bikini strapā¦ someone knocks).
CAROLINE: (Standing outside the door) Hey, guys, you ready?! Letās hit the beach!
DAMON: Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Does she not get what pause means??!!
CAROLINE: (Knocks again) Guys!! Are you there? Stefan is waiting for us, come on!
DAMON: (Shouts) Timing, Barbie, timing!!!
CAROLINE: What?! (Pauses for a bit, then it hits her) Oh, ohā¦ yes, pause, Iām on pause; sorry!!! Take your time, weāll meet you down there!
BONNIE: (Laughs, kisses him) Tell you what, why donāt we go down, enjoy the beach while thereās still daylight. Weāll bring this cliffhanger to its resolution when the timing is right. (Kisses him again, ties her bikini strap, gets up, puts her beach dress back on).
DAMON: (Gets up, puts his shirt on and grabs her hand, as they are walking outā¦) Maybe we should have told her to push the off buttonā¦ (she smirks, they leave the room).
Cut to ā A dorm room at the University of Munich. Elena and Sam are unpacking.
Ā SAM: (Takes a little black box out of one of Elenaās boxes) Whatās this?
ELENA: (Takes the box, doesnāt seem to know what it is, or why itās even there) I have no idea, I didnāt pack it, did you?
SAM: No; thatās weirdā¦ maybe itās another gift from your friends?
ELENA: I donāt think soā¦ (opens the box, inside is some sort of formula with a note that reads: No matter where you are, your past will always follow youā¦) What the hell?
SAM: Let me see (looks closely at the test tube); looks like some sort of formula? How did it get passed airport security?Ā
ELENA: I donāt even want to know.
SAM:Ā We can test it out at the university lab, find out what it is.
ELENA:Ā No, just throw it out. I moved here to get away from the insanity, Iām not about to open Pandoraās box.
SAM: Are you sure? It looks like it might be importantā¦
ELENA: Iām sure.
SAM: (Puts the formula and note back in the black box) Iāll take care of it. So, there is an alumni cocktail tonight, want to go? I think it would be good so we can start to integrate...
ELENA: Iām still a bit jet-lagged, but I think I can handle a drink or two. Ā
SAM: Thatās my girl (kisses her; they start to make out).
Cut to ā Akumal, Mexico. Stefan and Caroline are lying on the beach. Damon and Bonnie join them.
Ā CAROLINE: Well, that was fast!
DAMON: Blondie, I swear...
STEFAN: Whatās going on?
DAMON: Little āMiss Pauseā here, wonāt stop pushing play.
STEFAN: What?
BONNIE: Just forget it; letās enjoy! I mean, look at this place, itās gorgeous! Iām going for a swim.
DAMON: Iām coming with (grabs her hand; they head to the ocean).
STEFAN: They look so happy together...
CAROLINE: They really do, and I really need to stop with the bad timing!
STEFAN: Again?
CAROLINE: Yep. Thought inappropriate timing was a Sagittarius thing, guess itās a Libra thing too.
STEFAN: (Laughs, then kisses her). Iām sure theyāll find the right moment. Just between us, this is the first time Damon has taken it slow; I think he might be nervous.
CAROLINE: Nervous?! Come on, this is Damon we are talking about.
STEFAN: Yes, but he has never felt like this about anyoneā¦ probably freaks him out a little bit; doesnāt want to screw it up.
CAROLINE: Thatās trueā¦ Ā
STEFAN: Listen, sorry to change the subject but, about that thing we talked about, you never gave me an answer.
CAROLINE: Iām sorryā¦ still processing. Itās a life-changing decision; give me some time to clear my head on it?
STEFAN: Of courseā¦ take as much time as you need. And, whatever you decide, Iām with you. Ā (They cuddle and enjoy the view; sometime later, Bonnie and Damon come back from their swim).
BONNIE: (A she is drying herself) The water is delicious! You guys should definitely take a dip!
CAROLINE: Bon, when have you ever seen me swim in the ocean?
BONNIE: Oh, thatās rightā¦ (teasing) your irrational fear of āthe sea monstersā.
CAROLINE: Who knows what crazy things live down there?! Plus, sharksā¦
DAMON: Sharks, really, Blondie? They're harmless! They are more afraid of us than we are of them, and with good reason.
CAROLINE: Have you seen Jaws? ā¦ Uhm, no thanks! Iām perfectly fine right here; enjoying the beautiful view, margarita in one hand, Stefanās hand in the otherā¦ perfection!
BONNIE: Come on, Care, dare to do something you never have. What happened to pausing the control freak? Let loose!
CAROLINE: Iām loose, I swear! Just not that looseā¦ (they laugh; Damon and Bonnie lie down with them to enjoy the view. After a few minutes of contemplation, Caroline breaks the silence). Ahhhā¦ This is exactly what we needed.
BONNIE: Preach!
STEFAN: (Looking at a boat that is cruising by) We should totally do that boat trip...
DAMON: One thing at a time, bro. For nowā¦ (grabs some beers from the cooler, hands one to them) Enjoyā¦ (winks, then puts Bob Marleyās āDonāt worry be happyā on his phone. Lights up a doobie, takes a drag, and passes it around).
BONNIE: (Takes a hit, then passes to Caroline) How is this for letting looseā¦
CAROLINE: (Takes a drag; lets the smoke outā¦) My kind of pause button. (Smiles, passes it to Stefan).
STEFAN: (Takes a hit) I never did this as a humanā¦ wonder if it hits you different than when you are a vampire?
BONNIE: (She and Caroline laugh) Oh, Stefan, youāre in for quite a rideā¦
Ā Cut to ā The Mayorās house. Edward is still in his room. The Madame comes in.
THE MADAME: Darling, you canāt hide in here foreverā¦
EDWARD: Iām not hiding, Iām thinking.
THE MADAME: About?
EDWARD: My mother, thanks to you.
THE MADAME: Iām sorry I had to do that but we really need his help if we want to get this done.
EDWARD: Iāve always known you were cruel, but you took it way too far this time.
THE MADAME: It was the only way I could get you to call him.
EDWARD: That is true, but still, cruel.
THE MADAME: Forgive me, love, itās in our best interest to have him on our side.
EDWARD: I knowā¦ just canāt stand the sight of him.
THE MADAME: Why donāt you try to give him a chance, he might not be so badā¦
EDWARD: Heās responsible for my motherās death, both of them. Granted I never knew my biological mother; it was a miracle I even survived, butā¦ a killer clown, really?... Sick bastard. And, as if that wasnāt enough, he ended up driving the woman he had killed the first one for, completely insane, to the point of suicide. How is that, not so bad?!
THE MADAME: Listen, heās not my cup of tea either, but he didnāt do the things you accuse him of, I promise. If he had, I would have killed him a long time ago.
EDWARD: I thought you were on my side; how can you believe all his lies?
THE MADAME: Iām not on his side, and I donāt believe a word that comes out of his mouth. The only reason I know he is not responsible for those things is because I can read minds. Had your āfriendā Donovan not given up the devices and activated unit 1, I wouldnāt have made you call him; but you and I know, if anyone can help us fix this little mess, itās him. Iāve lived for hundreds of years, and have been part of the order for the majority of them, Iām not about to give up everything I have fought for.
EDWARD: Neither am I, that is the only reason I agreed to thisā¦ but we have to be careful, he is definitely not doing this out of the goodness of his heart, we have something he wants, and heāll do whatever it takes to get it.
THE MADAME: As long as you and I are on the same page, weāll have control, and heāll have no choice but to comply.
EDWARD: Letās hope he does; he can be quite sneaky.
THE MADAME: So can we (smirks). For now, keep Donovan away for as long as you can; once he comes back, everything will be set in motion.
EDWARD: Weāll need to move fast, not sure how long heāll stand his time outā¦
Cut to ā Akumal, Mexico. Bonnie, Damon, Stefan, and Caroline are on a boat. Stefan is standing at the edge of the boat, facing the open ocean. They are all quite stoned, even Caroline and Damon, who you would think wouldnāt be given that they are vampires, or even Bonnie, having all that source power, but apparently, they were given some pretty heavy stuff.
Ā STEFAN: Waitā¦ how did we get on a boat?
CAROLINE: (Barely able to talk from the laughter) I think we stole itā¦
STEFAN: Shit! Oh, wellā¦ Iām the king of the world!! (Grabs her hand and takes her up on the edge with him). Look at this viewā¦ (after a few seconds, he starts singing Celine Dionās āMy heart will go onā, completely off-tune).
BONNIE: (Who is lying on the floor deck with Damon, looking up at the sky) Iām telling you, look at itā¦ itās totally baby Yodaā¦ and itās speaking to usā¦listen.
DAMON: Listening, I am, and says heā¦ stay for some soup you mustā¦
BONNIE: Ooh, soup! I love soupā¦ French onion with melted cheese on topā¦ What genius came up with that? (Pauses for a sec) Wait, what were we talking about?
DAMON: I have no ideaā¦ (they crack up).
STEFAN: (Still on the boat edge) You jump, I jumpā¦
CAROLINE: (Turns to look at his eyes) Never let go, Jack, never let goā¦Ā
STEFAN: I love you,Ā Rose. (Kisses her, grabs her hand; they jump in the water).
BONNIE: Did they just jump in the water?
DAMON: I think they didā¦ (they get up, see them in the water)
BONNIE: Care! You did it!
CAROLINE: (Realizing she is swimming in the ocean for the first time). Oh, my god!!! I did!!! (As she is blissfully swimming around) Itās so wonderful!!! You guys should join!!
BONNIE: (Gets real serious...) Oh my god guys, donāt move...
CAROLINE: (Looking scared as hell) What is it?...
BONNIE:Ā Care, donāt move... itās behind you... (Caroline is paralyzed, on guard).
CAROLINE: (Looking terrified) Bonnie... is it a sh...
BONNIE: (Interrupts her ) Shhhh... (Bonnie uses her telekinetic powers to play the intro ofĀ āBaby Sharkā on her phone, then starts dancing the choreography, Damon joins along; they are cracking up).
CAROLINE: Bonnie, you scared the hell out of me! (Canāt help but laugh at the prank).Ā
DAMON: (Laughing his ass off) Good one, Bon! (They high five)Ā Sorry, Blondie, you owed us!Ā
CAROLINE: Fair enough... weāll call it even. Now, come join,Ā the water is perfect!
DAMON: Bon Bon, what do you say?
BONNIE:Ā You had me at Bon Bon... (They smirk; Damon grabs her hand and they jump in. They swim and laugh for a while, then go back on the boat). Soā¦ who drove the boat?
STEFAN: Uhm, I think I didā¦ not sure how.
CAROLINE: Can you drive it back?
STEFAN: Iāll give it a tryā¦ but whatās the rush; I say we stay for a while, watch the sundownā¦ (they sit on the boat deck, open a bottle of bourbon, eat some munchies, talk, and laugh).
CAROLINE: (To Damon, referring to the weed) TSo, Damon, that was some powerful stuff, where did you get it from?
DAMON: Bellboy hooked me upā¦called it the Mayan āDuendeā? ā¦
STEFAN: Well, I hope you saved someā¦ totally want to do that again, but I think inland is the way to go next time. (They watch the sunset, then head back; Stefan manages to return the boat, and everyone on board, safe and sound).
Ā Cut to - Matt and Khuyana having a picnic at a beautiful park in Lima, Peru.
Ā MATT: I missed thisā¦
KHUYANA: Me too (kisses him).
MATT: Iām so sorry for everything that has happened... Iām thinking that moving back was a mistake.
KHUYANA: Itās not your fault Matt, and it wasnāt a mistake. You love your home, and, despite it all, I love it too. Mystic Falls is where we belong.
MATT: But we were happier here.
KHUYANA: Were we? I think you are forgetting just how much we struggled, not to mention my government tried to make me disappear. Iām more afraid of humanitiesā dark side than I am of the supernatural; at least with them, you get a fair warning.
MATT: You make a good pointā¦but still, Iā¦ Iā¦
KHUYANA: Mi amor, itās okay, we are going to be fine. Itās over now, so letās enjoy our time off and go back home when the time comes (kisses him). Whatever comes our way, we will get through it.
MATT: If I could marry you again, I would. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, thank you for being part of my life.
KHUYANA: And thank you for being part of mine. Now, how about some pisco and yuquitas?
MATT: Best vacation everā¦ (kisses her).
Ā Cut to ā Akumal, Mexico. Late at night. Damon and Bonnie are lying on the beach, in a very secluded spot, looking at the sky.
DAMON: I could do this foreverā¦
BONNIE: Me too.
DAMON: (Turns his head towards her, looks deep into her eyes, and kisses her gently) I love you, Bonā¦ like I never knew I could loveā¦
BONNIE: And I love you; like I never did love ā¦ (She kisses him, more passionately than gently, kneels on top of him, and unbuttons his shirt as he pulls her dress off. She unbuckles his shorts, he unhooks her bra, throws it to the ground. He slowly slides her panties down andā¦ at lastĀ =). Inside her, Damon can't help but be locked into those hypnotic eyes, his breath so heavy and unstable... the overwhelming beauty and the feeling of absolute ecstasy invade every cell in his body... if ever he'd known what pure love was, this was the moment. They make love, multiple times, through the entire night until they fall asleep, holding each other so tight, body to body, until sunrise.
TVD 9x09 (part 1) coming next! Hope you stop by, read, and enjoy! =)
