Joshua got into the record store as he saw some guy leaving the store.

"Clients so early in the morning?! You guys aren't joking." Joshua said with a smile.

"Hey! I wish... it was just some tourist asking for directions." Brandon said.

"Brandon is freaking out because he thinks we are losing costumers." Bonnie said.

"I don't think, I know." Brandon said.

"It's still very early... Just give people some time." Josh said.

"Thank you. That's what I have been saying!" Bonnie said.

"You guys are just saying that to stop me from freaking out for using my money to open a record store. I mean, what was I thinking? Everyone now buys their music online and downloads it... What did I do?" Brandon asked as he kept freaking out.

"Alright. Yes, people now buy things online. But you know who doesn't? Old people... hippies."

"And lately there's been more and more white people wanting to listen to vinil because it's vintage." Bonnie said.

"True." Josh said. "I think maybe what you could do is an event, promoting this as the incredible local store that it is."

"Thats a really good idea, Josh!"

"I could call Care since she's so good at planning stuff like this." Bonnie said.

"I can help out. Maybe making some flyers and putting all over town, giving Cami some so she can give to people at the bar and stuff like that." Josh said.

"Yes!" Brandon said with a smile. "Thank you."

"I just texted Caroline, she's in and already has a bunch of ideas." Bonnie said.

After Caroline went to the record store and discuss some ideas, which were mostly decliners by Brandon because of money issues, she ended up giving the idea of a karaoke night with some drinks, making Caleb having to get a licor license with Josh in case he needed to have someone compelled because of the time that could take, letting Bonnie in charge of the store, while Davina went to make some flyers and Caroline went to the French Quarter, meeting there the Mikaelsons, the Salvatores, Enzo and Elena.

"Love, I know I said to feel at home when you would come here but I didn't expect you to make a reunion here without any warning."

"Klaus, there's no time for you to act all alpha male, okay?"

"I don't act. I am." Klaus said, making Caroline roll her eyes.

"Okay, guys, here's the thing. Brandon is going to have an event at his store. It will be a karaoke night. He needs everyone's help. Kol, you were great in finding drinks, so maybe you could get drinks again."

"He just stole my bourbon!" Klaus said.

"Niklaus, we already had this conversation and Kol told me he wouldn't do it again." Elijah said.

"Elijah and Elena, you guys could try to go find some plates and cups, maybe having also something to eat." Caroline said and they nodded. "Enzo and Rebekah, you guys are going to be in charge of decoration. Bekah, you're the one I trust with this."

"I won't let you down, Care." Rebekah said.

"Stefan and Damon, you will inform Cami and Sarah of what's happening to see if they can help us. I didn't want to intrude them as they were working, so just find them and see if they can help in anything. Klaus, you're going to help me out getting people who will actually buy stuff from the store." Caroline said.

"Who made her the boss?" Damon asked.

"Shut up, before I rip your tongue out

"Shut up, before I rip your tongue out. Caroline was always meant to lead, she doesn't need anyone to tell her to lead, it's in her." Klaus said to Damon.

"What are you all doing just looking at me? Go! Go! Go!"

"Isn't she amazing?" Klaus asked Elijah.

"Nik, you're starting to drool." Rebekah said and left with Enzo.

"So... you wanted a task with me... If I didn't know any better I would say that you like to have me around." Klaus said with a smirk after everyone left.

"Someone sure has a big ego." Caroline said.

"Even after everything you still put these walls, trying to push me away. But guess what, Love... that's not going to work. I fancy you. I fancied you for a long time and that won't stop. I know there is something between us... And like I told you before, I'm willing to wait for you... however long it takes. One day, you'll be ready to give me a chance and I'll be there, waiting for you to let me show what the world as to offer you." Klaus said.
