Alaïa Gilbert //The Vampire Dairies

The Birthday

Gilbert Residence

[It's morning. Alaïa is lying in her bed. She sits up and goes over to the window. She holds up her hand, takes a deep breath, then pulls the curtains wide open.]

[In Jeremy's bedroom, light from the window suddenly falls on him in bed. Elena and Alaïa has just pulled up the curtains in his room too.]

Jeremy: Aaahh! Early. Bad!

Alaïa: Ahh. It's not early. (Walks up to bed and pulls his cover off.) You're late, for work. Matt just called.

[Elena and Alaïa walk out of the room. Jeremy looks at the clock.]

Jeremy: Well, maybe he'll fire me.

Elena: [While walking out the door.] Aim high.

[Jeremy slides down to the end of the bed, looking concerned.]

Town Square

[Caroline talking to Alaïa on the phone.]

Alaïa: What are you doing?

Caroline: Just shopping for the party you and Elena trying to bail out on.

[ Alaia is walking down the stairs and goes to the kitchen as she sees Elena and smiles.]

Alaïa: you know I don't like celebrating my birthdays and besides I nor Elena never said yes in the first place.

Caroline: You were never going to which is why I planned it anyway. And my mom wants you and Elena to call her.

Alaïa: Did she find something?

Caroline: An animal attack in

Memphis. It's the third one this week in Tennessee.

Elena: And you're sure it's a vampire?

[Alaric is in the kitchen making coffee and they exchange looks.]

Caroline: Yes, but that doesn't mean that it's Klaus.

Elena: Doesn't mean it's not. (Going round the counter, pushing Alaric out of the way.) We'll call her.

Caroline: Well call her on her cell.

Alaïa : Tell her thank you for her help.

Caroline: All right. Well, I gotta go. I'll see you in a bit.

[Tyler walks up to Caroline.]

Alaïa: Oh, Caroline wait, just...keep tonight small. Please?

Caroline: Wear something pretty. (Hangs up. Tyler's there.) Hi!

Elena: Ugh! (Sighs.)

Alaric: (Making the bed/couch.) Was that uh...Stefan news?

Alaïa: Could be more Klaus victims. (Puts down her cup.)

Alaric: You certain Stefan's still with him?
