"Get dressed, something fancy, were going to dinner." The elder Salvatore said as he walked into Lauren's room.

"Hello day, how are you? Please come in to my house. Sure you can come into my room." Lauren said without looking up from her laptop "hello Lola, put on a short, lacy, dress and let's go. We're having dinner with the originals." With that Damon walked into her closet and started looking through her dresses

"Damon, i know we haven't exactly had time to have a heart to heart in a while. Are you doing ok?" She asked in a soft voice "I got to kiss Elena." He said still looking in the closet

"I'm sorry what?" She yelled "and I'm just hearing about this now? When? Why? What happened?"
"I kissed her and... it was amazing." He told her with a smile. "And I'm pretty sure it was the same day you kissed klaus." He said with a smirk "oh shut it. Why do I have to go to dinner with the mikaelsons?" She asked walking over to her second best friend

"because darling Lola, I need klaus to do what I want and you in a little Lacey black dress is sure to do the trick." He explained

"Ah sneaky, but mr. Salvatore if you want distracting might I suggest... this." "Short, black, tight, prefect." Damon said with a smirk "ah gee thanks." She said rolling her eyes "I'll be back to pick you up at 6."

Damon, Stefan and Lauren walked up to the front door of the mikaelson mansion and Elijah opened the door "Niklaus, our guests have arrived." Elijah called as the three of them walked into the mansion

"Damon. Stefan. Lauren? Elijah tells me you seek an audience. Very bold. Let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized folk shall we?" Klaus said as we walked into the parlor which had a table and 5 place settings.

"it's better to indulge him." Elijah said as we walked to the table "I didn't come here to eat klaus, in fact I didn't want to come here at all, but I was told I had to. Because you would here us out." Stefan said trying to be intimidating

"Stefan, pull your head out of your ass and sit down." Lauren said with a smirk as her and Damon sat down.

The 5 of them sat down at the table, with Lauren in between Damon and klaus. "Lost your appetite?" Klaus asked "Eat. I thought we agreed to leave grumpy Stefan at home." Damon told his brother

"that's the spirit. Isn't this nice? The five of us dining togther?" Klaus asked "such a treat. Is this what you had in mind when you pulled the dagger from my brother?" "Well I know how he feels about you so I thought the more the merrier." Damon said

"Well Elijah and I have had our share of quarrels, but we always make it through." "Kind of like you and Rebekah, right? Where is she by the way, last I checked you were too scared to face her?" Stefan asked "if your referring to the fact that Rebekah knows I killed our mother, I've already com clean to Elijah." "Hey stef, remember that time you killed your dad? May want to tone down the judgement till dessert." Lauren said with an innocent smile.

"We're here to make a deal, not kiss his ass for seven corses. And I think kissing any originals is Lauren's job now right?" Stefan asked
"Fuck off." Lauren smiled as she took a sip of wine
