No one's POV

Ariana's cell phone went off, waking her and Caroline up. Caroline promptly pushed Ariana out of the bed, annoyed at being woken up.

Ariana landed on the floor and looked back up at Caroline with an annoyed expression at being shoved off of the bed. She crawled across the floor towards her phone and took it off the dresser. Ariana answered her phone.

"Hello?"

"Shhh, Ari!" Caroline complained tiredly.

Sighing, Ariana dragged herself out of Caroline's room and continued her conversation in the hallway.

"How was the sleepover?" It was Nathan on the other end of the phone.

"Good and much needed. When can you and I have one?"

"Mmm. That can be arranged."

"Okay. Now. Today. Take me far, far away."

"Even with everything that's going on?"

"Because of everything that's going on."

"And you're sure this has nothing to do with dodging your father who just got into town?"

"Uh, this has everything to do with that."

"Well, in that case, where would you like to go?"

Ariana smiled.

Nathan and Ariana were in the hallway with their bags packed, ready to leave. Elena was currently at the Salvatore house with Stefan.

"Ready for our romantic weekend?" Nathan smiled.

"Beyond ready. Let's go before John shows up and pretends to be a concerned father." Ariana sighed.

"I'll go put these in the car." Nathan opened the front door and started to walk out, but stopped when he heard Ariana's phone start to buzz. Ariana took out her phone, seeing that she had received a text message from Caroline.

"Uh, please tell me there's nothing wrong." Nathan murmured. Ariana looked up at Nathan, but before she had time to comment, Caroline sent her another text.

Ariana looked relieved and sent a text back.

Xoxo.

"Nothing's wrong. Just Caroline." Ariana reassured her boyfriend. "Come on. Let's go."

Ariana walked out the front door. Ariana shut the door behind them and followed her.

Elena was hanging at the Salvatore house with Stefan. They were watching a movie, but Elena had been on her phone during the last half, texting Ariana.
