I had just arrived to Orlando, Florida. It is currently 4:06am. I am exhausted, hungry and very pregnant. Ian had insisted I missed the TVD Orlando con 2013 event but I promised all my fans I would go and I hated canceling last minute. So, I'm just about to walk through the gates with the help of an airport worker who was carrying my luggage for me. On the opposite side of the doors were Ian, Paul and Arielle (the girl who plays Lexi), all waiting for me...their so sweet.
Anyways, I start walking down the walkway of the gate, so prepared to see my friends. I had spent the whole day at the opening for my second clothing line with H&M. It was fun but it's really draining having to do so many interviews and having to see camera lights flashing in your eyes every second. As much as I love my job I really just want to plop on the nearest bed and not wake up for the next month.
The big white doors open in front of my eyes and I'm greeted with a bunch of people waiting for their family and friends. I scan around the room, not being able to see my friends but once I do, immediately my eyes caught on Ian's smile and I rushed over to him and my friends, as fast as my pregnant self can run...in my words that's speed walk. The man helping me with my luggage followed, walking behind.
I wrapped my arms around my fiancé's body and he engulfed me in his arms. "Hi!"
Ian presses his lips against mine. "Finally."
He smothered my face with kisses making me laugh, trying to pull away. He finally let go and I went over to greet the other two, Arielle and Paul.
"Hey, girl." Arielle smiled, taking me into her arms.
"Hey, babe." I pull back giggling.
"Oh my gosh, she's getting so big!" She gasps lightly placing her hand on my stomach. "How many months already?"
"She just made 5 months and a half." I grinned.
"Girl, you're almost there!" Arielle laughs excitingly.
"God, I know." I gasp keeping my huge grin. "I can't wait to meet my little angel."
"Her godfather over here can't wait to meet her too and in fact is still waiting for a hug from her mother." Paul chimes in.
I widen my eyes giggling. "Oh my gosh." I open my arms, taking him in my embrace. "I'm so sorry."
Paul chuckles rubbing his hand on my back as a greeting before pulling away. Arielle looks at him. "Wait you're the godfather?"
"Yeah. Ian and I actually asked both him and Nina privately with a little gift for each of them." I nod smiling.
"I obviously said yes." Paul adds making the other three of us.
"Tess and I made a deal. I pick the godfather and she chooses the godmother." Ian explains as he takes my luggage from the man assisting me.
"Adorable." Arielle clapped her hands together. She looks at all of us. "Well I don't know about you guys but I'm exhausted and we only have a few hours to sleep so I think we should head back to the hotel."
"Yes."
"Yup, let's go."
"I'm so tired."
We all said at the same time.
Ian carried my luggage with one hand while he held my hand in the other. Arielle and Paul walked ahead while we walked behind. I had only been without Ian for a day and I already missed him so much it was insane. I'm just glad we can lay in the same bed together again and cuddle...if the baby even let's me sleep.

"And now we welcome, Vampire Diaries stars, Paul Wesley, Tessa Rose and Ian Somerhalder!"
The crowd starts cheering as me, Paul and Ian walk onto the stage with big smiles and waves. There were three chairs, I sat in between the boys and we were each handed a microphone.
We kept smiling and waving as the crowd kept clapping but soon enough it died down and we were ready to start.
"Hi everyone!" I smile into the mic making everyone start cheering once again. I look at Ian who was laughing, amazed at how hyped everyone was. "Thank you all so much for being here with us and we're so excited to hang with you guys today."
The cheers and clapping finally came down once again and we were ready to start.
"Alright, who's ready to ask the first question?" Paul asked the crowd.
People started raising their hand as the worker holding the mic chose someone in the crowd. He eventually chose what looked like a 14 year old girl. "Hi, my name is kaycee."
"Hi." I smiled.
"Hello." Paul greeted.
"Hi." She giggled nervously. "Uh, my first question is for Ian."
The crowd did a quick cheer making me and Paul look at Ian, laughing knowing he's gonna act all smug.
"Go for it." He smirked resting his arm on the back of my chair.
"What is something embarrassing that you told or showed someone and now regret it?"
Ian started to think, taking a few seconds but he already found his answer faster than it would've taken most people. He started laughing to himself just thinking about it. It was starting to get Paul annoyed so he had to interrupt Ian's moment. "You know, you look really stupid right now."
The crowd along with Ian and I all started laughing, agreeing.
"I was just thinking about the time I showed you guys the picture of me naked on that tv show." He mumbled to us so the crowd wouldn't fully get what he was saying to Paul and I.
"Oh my gosh." I laugh already knowing how this story goes.
Ian then turns to the crowd, ready to expose his embarrassing story. "So, a friend of mine sent me a picture of...I did an HBO show a long time ago. I was literally naked, I mean full on without clothes."
"No, it was prosthetic." Paul budded in making the crowd laugh.
"Yeah." Ian laughed going along with Paul's joke. "Um, I had actually only known Tessa for a month or so, we were still just friend's at the time." He glanced at me. "So, uh, well my friend, a producer had sent me this photo and he was like "hey, do you remember this show?" And I was like it's this picture of a man and that's...that's, very, it's pretty sexy and I had thought "no I don't remember." Just then I was like "oh...that's me"."
The crowd and I laughed.
"And so what I did is, I saved it to my camera roll, and showed them the picture on my phone." Ian couldn't hold in his laughter.
"Why was it the screensaver on your phone?" Paul turns to him, acting all serious.
Ian just kept laughing, hitting his hand on his thigh.
"That's a little weird isn't it?" Paul looks to the crowd.
At this point, I'm just dying of laughter. "Oh my God."
"You know, there's just some things you can't un-see." Ian turns to him in all seriousness just making everyone laugh even harder. "I don't know if it's on Netflix." Ian shrugs.
"I think it is." I nod my head. "But, I actually ended up watching it and it's a pretty good show."
Paul turned to me. "Of course you think it's a good show because you get to see Ian naked on tv."
The crowd started bursting out in laughter, cheering. I just hold in a snicker looking over at Ian who was laughing in embarrassment.
As everyone died down, Ian managed to talk again. "Besides that, I agree with Tess, I think it's a good show. My mom even got to watch the show because it's about relationships."
"I like that show." Paul interrupts randomly.
Ian just ignores him continuing. "It just shows behind the scenes, what happens behind closed doors, the true nature of relationships and how complicated they are."
"They're not complicated, dude. It's literally so simple." Paul chuckles. "I don't know what's going on behind closed doors in your relationship."
"Oh, so you're telling me there wasn't a single moment were you wanted to rip Phoebe's head off?" I raise an eyebrow at him.
Paul was stuck, he looked at the crowd shrugging. "Well, I ha- I...have you ever wanted to rip Ian's head off?"
"Many times." I laugh nodding.
"Same here, honey." Ian smirks crossing one leg over the other.
The crowd has small laughter coming from it.
"But, um, back to the topic." Ian laughs off what he just said to me. "Uh, so yeah, I actually had conversations to my mom about it, 'cause she watched the show-"
"Wait, you let her watch that scene?" Paul looks at him in slight shock.
"No, not that scene but I honestly don't care. I mean she saw me naked as a baby so." He shrugs as if it weren't a problem whatsoever.
Everyone besides Ian started laughing, he seriously thought it was a normal thing.
I look at him as if he were crazy and he just gives me a shrug while smiling.
"Alright then..." I try holding in my laughter. "Heh, um, who has the next question?"
"Hi my name is Jackson." The boy in the crowd with the microphone introduced himself.
"Hi Jackson!" Tessa greeted.
"Hi." He laughs nervously. "I, um, I'm a really big fan of the Vampire Diaries and I just wanted to say, Tessa you're the hottest character in the show. Like literally all the boys in my school don't stop talking about you."
The crowd starts cheering and whistling in agreement.
Tessa starts laughing while Ian and Paul looked at her watching the embarrassment on her face. She wasn't embarrassed that people crushed on her or thought it was gross it was just unexpected.
"Well, thank you." Tessa continues to blush but her laughter died down. "Um, haha, that was really sweet, I appreciate it."
"I actually have a gift for you." He adds into the microphone.
Tessa's eyes widen as Jackson starts heading towards the stage with her gifts. "Oh my goodness." She giggles as the crowd starts cheering, Paul and Ian were laughing watching in amusement.
Tessa stood up from her seat and hugged the boy once he got up the stage. As she pulled away she kissed his cheek as a sign of gratitude making Jackson blush almost immediately.
He hands her a bouquet of flowers, red roses to be exact. It only had maybe 5 of them but Tessa was still so very thankful. And...he also handed her a notebook. "What's this?" She smiles taking the book from him.
She points her microphone to his mouth so the audience can hear him. "It's a book filled with the names of every boy in my high school that has a crush on you." He laughs nervously. "And actually, it's like a résumé or application to be your boyfriend."
The crowd starts cheering and laughing uncontrollably. Not so much because of the act, but behind Tessa, Paul was making fun of Ian and teasing him about all the new boyfriends she has and Ian was trying to act cool about it but Paul was just being hilariously irritating.
The cheering died down and Tessa scanned through some of the pages. "Hey, Tess, why don't you read out loud what one of them says." Paul says to her through his microphone. He looks at Ian teasingly. "I'm sure Ian wants to know about his girls new boyfriends."
Someone in the crowd screams. "Yeah!" Making everyone laugh.
Tessa glances back at Ian who was well over embarrassed and red from all the laughing he did. She looks back to the book, flipping through pages. "Alright, fine. Let's see what catches my eye...."
It takes her a moment but she finally found one interesting enough to share with everyone. "This one says, "hi Tessa, I'm Daniel. Daniel Bernstein, probably your biggest fan out here. I know it seems weird because girls are known to fan girl over male celebrities but this time I'm fan girling you. I guess you can say I'm fan boying." The crowd has slight laughter as Tessa continues. "I'm 16 years old, in sophomore year or what they call grade 10 in your country." The crowd slightly laughs again. "I am 5'11, a little taller than Ian so I guess that's an ego booster." Everyone now starts audibly laughing. Tessa laugh. "Heh, um, I like to play video games all day and my favourite food is corn dogs. I play on my schools soccer team and my jersey is actually number 23, your favourite number. I'm best known for being one of the class clowns/class douche bags but if you were my girl I would accept your baby unlike most men."
"Oh my God, he really brought my unborn daughter in this too." Ian chuckles in shock at how weird this kid is.
Tessa laughs, knowing as well how ridiculous this kid is but she wanted to finish reading it. "And I know I'm like 8 years younger but you're 11 years younger than Ian so I guess you wouldn't mind." Tessa couldn't hide in her laughter any longer. "Oh my God. This kid is something else."
"He actually tells us all the time that he's your new boyfriend and that one day you guys are gonna get married and have a pet snake." Jackson adds.
Everyone in the crowd starts cheering amazed and intriguing at all of this. Tessa laughs glancing back at Paul and Ian who at this point Paul was loving every second of this and Ian was just straight up laughing the whole time.
"Haha, well thank you so much Jackson for the gifts, I appreciate it and also thank your friends for this." She motions towards the book.
"Anytime." He smiles before being escorted off the stage.
Tessa hands the gifts to one of the security guards so they can place it backstage for her and she walks herself back to her seat between the boys.
"Hey bud." Ian calls out to Jackson from the crowd. "Make sure to tell your friend that he may be "fan boying" or whatever it's called on Tessa, but he'll never get the chance to put a ring on it."
The crowd starts going wild as Ian grabs Tessa's left hand, raising it up for everyone to see her engagement ring even if they could only admire it from a distance. In the crowd, Jackson nodded also laughing but it was great he had a sense of humour.
Tessa on the other hand, she grinned pressing a kiss to Ian's lips making Paul cringe. "I don't like where this is going anymore." He comments making the crowd laugh.
"Oh beat it, Paul." Ian jokingly tells him off and just laughs.
Paul just crosses one leg over the other, leaning on the back of his chair. "Alright, who's brave enough to shoot their shot with Tessa next?"
The crowd cheers and cheers making Tessa and Ian laugh. Many people in the crowd raised up their hand while the worker looked around the audience to find the next candidate.
"Hi, my name is Austin." A blonde boy that was roughly in his early 20's introduced himself in the microphone.
"Hi, Austin!" Tessa smiles, waving.
"Alright Austin, you better be careful my man with your question." Ian says into his own microphone making the crowd laugh.
"Haha, I just wanted to ask Tessa what is her ideal man." Austin says. "Like your dream husband or boyfriend. Where he's from. What he looks like. His personality..."
The crowd cheers making Tessa nervously giggle. She glances at Paul and Ian to see them both with grins and intrigued looks making her laugh even more.
Tessa let the audience calm down before continuing. "Well, Austin. If we're gonna be technical here..." Tessa chuckles. "Heh, um, he definitely has to be tall. He has to have blue eyes..." While Tessa was distracted thinking Ian and Paul had their arms around each other, both having a hand out checking all the things Tessa was listing that Ian had. "He has to be at least 10 years older than me, 11 if we're being technical." Ian and Paul put another finger up making the crowd laugh. Tessa glances at them but didn't think much of what they were doing. "Um, he also has to be a big flirt with a good sense of humour but also has to know when to be professional. Ethnicity doesn't really matter but it helps if he's a little French since I'm born in France." Tessa giggles and Ian puts another finger up. Yes, Ian is partly French.
"Oh, and it helps if he's my baby's dad." Tessa adds.
"Yes!" Ian and Paul put another finger up.
The crowd begins to laugh and cheer once again as Paul and Ian high five one another along with giving a bro hug. Tessa just looks at them uncontrollably laughing.
"Wait, wait, wait." Paul says into the microphone putting his hand out to signal for everyone to be quiet. He then looks at Tessa. "Tess, the real question is, on a scale from one to ten how good is the man you're talking about in bed."
The crowd starts clapping so happy he asked that. Tessa looks at the crowd awkwardly. "Paul there's children here."
"Parents cover your child's ears, I wanna hear this too." Ian says making everyone laugh.
Tessa chuckles at they boys' childish behaviour. "Alright, let's just say if he's able to get me pregnant then you definitely know he's better than any other man I've been with."
The crowd starts cheering.
"Okay but from one to ten." Paul looks at her.
"Paul." Tessa laughs giving him a warning looks.
"C'mon, Tessa do you want to disappoint your fans?" Paul does a pouty face and the crowd begins to chant "say it! say it! say it!"
Tessa continues to laugh of embarrassment and she finally gives up. "Okay, if I'm being honest, a solid 10."
The crowd goes wild and Tessa just keeps on laughing making her he begin to ache. Paul and Ian just get up from their seats and begin jumping up and down. Ian takes a chance to go to Tessa and kissed her on the lips making the crowd grow even louder.
Oh my Gosh. Tessa thought.
It took almost a good minute for everyone to calm down. Once they did, the worker holding the mic went to go find someone else to ask something.
"Hi, um, my name is Melissa and this question is for Ian." The girl laughs nervously. "If you weren't with Tessa, would you possibly want to marry me?"
The crowd starts laughing.
Tessa and Ian lock eyes both of them awkwardly chuckling.
"Listen honey, you do not want to be married to me." Ian looks at her.
"Yeah, I'm still debating whether or not I made a good decision." Tessa interrupts making the crowd let out small laughs.
Ian looks at Tessa giving her a smile. "I'm a workaholic, I'm literally never home, I have 8 animals..."
The crowd stars applauding him. They know Ian has a foundation made for animals and just the world in general so knowing he has a lot of animals shows he really cares for the world and wants to provide a home for them.
"Your puppies and cats are so cute!" A girl far back in the audience calls out.
"Pardon?" Ian puts his head forward trying to hear her better.
"Your puppies and cats are so cute!"
"Oh yeah they're adorable." Tessa chuckles looking at Ian. "That's until they live in your own living room."
"Yeah four of them are like 20 pounds so their turds are like the size of this microphone." Ian turns the mic sideways showing the audience roughly the length. Of course, everyone laughs.
"Sometimes they're even bigger." Tessa comments.
"It's insane." Ian nods. "And it's like all day everyday, they are the cutest creatures I'll ever know..."
"I thought I was the most beautiful creature." Paul turns to him.
The crowd cheers and laughs as Ian crowd and pets Paul's cheek with the back of his hand. Eventually Paul pushes his face away pretending to be offended.
"I said you're one of them." Ian defends himself.
"No, you told me I was the most beautiful one." Paul buds in.
Tessa shakes her head laughing at how stupid these two were acting.
"See this is why you don't want to be married to either one of us." The crowd laughs. "Because effectively we are married. Because you know, business is like marriage without..." Ian puts out his hand and sticks out his middle finger and index finger together sideways and pushes it back and forth while whistling meaning sexual activity.
The crowd starts laughing hard and Tessa herself just laughs while clapping her hands together honestly amazed at how these two airheads act when they're together.
"Business is like marriage without sex." Ian adds shrugging. "That's what it is."
"You're doing it wrong!" Someone from the crowd shouts out making everyone once again have this short burst of laughter.
Ian just smiles. "Are we doing it wrong?" He looks and Tessa and sees that she just can't control it anymore. He lifts up his hat and puts it on her head. Tessa just looks at him shaking her head literally embarrassed.
"Oh God, if only each of you were to live with one of these two." Tessa wipes a tear of laughter falling down her cheek. "Heh, these two are like this 24/7. And as you all know Ian and I are actually neighbours with Paul and Phoebe." Tessa glances at her fiancé. "And let's just say we spend every weekend together when we're not working while in Georgia and this is how they act all the time."
"Yeah I feel bad for her a Phoebe." Ian laughs. "There are moments where I even catch myself acting like a five year old when I'm with Paul."
"Whatever." Paul rolls his eyes not liking to be caught. He then furrows his brows turning to the crowd. "Wait did Ian answer his question yet?"
Some of the crowd was screaming "yes" and others "no". "He answered it but not completely...I think." Tessa scrunches her eyebrows unsure as well.
"Well no matter what, thank you to the girl who asked me a question even though I probably got trailed off." Ian smiled at the girl who was still standing up having forgot her name.
The person holding the mic in the audience went over to another girl onto the left far side of the crowd. "Hi, my names Claire and my question is for Paul and Ian, do you ever go to each other for brotherly advice?"
The crowd starts clapping as finally a genuine question was asked. Paul and Ian turn to look at each other. "Pfft. Yeah, we go to each other for advice a lot." Ian crosses one leg over the other, playing with his shoelace. "We pretty much run everything by one another."
"Well, I wouldn't say everything..." Paul looks at him making the crowd quickly laugh.
"No, I mean like when things are happening in our life we go to each other like actually, surprise or not Paul actually was the first person to know that I was going to propose to Tessa and he actually helped me choose the ring."
The crowd cheers as Tessa turns to him. "How'd you do that? When you proposed Paul was still back in Georgia while we were in LA."
"No, I actually went with him to buy it a few days before we left for LA." Ian explains.
The crowd awes.
"So you knew you wanted to marry me like a month before you actually proposed?" Tessa gave him a look of awe as well.
Ian tilts his head back smirking genuinely at her. "I always knew I wanted to marry you."
The crowd now clapped, cheered, whistled, you name it.
Tessa blushes as Ian places a hand in hers that was resting on her thigh.
As the crowd dies down the person holding the microphone says, "Alright, now we have a question from Kayden." She points the mic at this teenage boy. "Hi, um I want to know, what is one of your most embarrassing moments on set?"
Paul looks at his two other friends, brows furrowed. "Do you go us remember any embarrassing moment I had on set?"
Tessa shook her head. "You never really make mistakes but I will tell you one thing." She looks at the audience. "Paul is the worst person to ever memorize lines. Like he'll literally be saying something short like "Don't do this, Damon" and he'll end up saying "Damon, no, you can't" and he'll go "ah shit I forgot, can we restart" it's honestly hilarious."
The crowd laughs and so does Paul more embarrassed than anything. That was until he remembered something. "Oh yeah, well I got one of you and Ian." He looks at the audience. "This was roughly in May a week or so before they made their relationship private. So as you all know the Salvatore Boarding house is a real house that we film in so the rooms are real and everything." Paul chuckles shaking his head as the memory refreshes in his mind. "Julie and I were heading up to...haha, we were heading up to Damon's bedroom because Julie was going to explain the scene we had to do later on in the day and me and her were told Tessa and Ian were already up there."
"Oh God." Ian groans although not afraid to show his laugh.
Paul glances at him a huge mischievous grin on his face. "And the second we walk through the door we see Ian and Tessa on the bed with only their heads out from the covers and they were like swallowing each other's throats. Now, they did have their underwear's on but right when they heard the door creak open both of them gasp and look at us." The crowd laughs so hard making Ian and Tessa shake their heads chuckling of embarrassment. "Obviously Ian being the "gentleman" he is, he immediately put himself down on Tessa's body trying to cover her and both of them were like red as tomatoes it was hilarious."
"Yeah, that was a little too embarrassing." Tessa laughs.
"Well to be fair we were told filming was done for the day by one of the directors after Tessa and I filmed a scene in the room." Ian shrugs. "We talked for a while and eventually things got heated."
"And the rest of the day they wouldn't talk to me unless if it was in character for the scene the three of us had to film together." Paul added and the crowd laughs.
"Okay Paul we get it." Tessa had enough literally embarrassed to the point where she felt nauseous. "You caught me and Ian so what? You better not get me started on me catching you."
Paul immediately froze. "Tessa."
"Don't worry, I will only pull that card when it's really needed." She gives him a smug smile and crosses one of her legs over the other making the audience and Ian laugh.
"Alright we'll thank you Paul, Ian and Tessa." The microphone holder said. "We will be taking a quick 10 minute break and we will be right back with another special guest, Arielle Kebbel also known as Lexi Branson."
- -
"Thank you all for waiting, now we welcome..." The host says. "Our very own Stefan Salvatore, Paul Wesley, Kayla Gilbert played by the beautiful Tessa Rose and Damon Salvatore the guy we are all obsessed with also known as Ian Somerhalder!"
The crowd cheers and claps as Paul, Tessa and Ian all file themselves on to the chairs. This time though there were four of them.
"And can we also welcome our very special guest, the incredible Lexi Branson portrayed by Arielle Kebbel!"
The crowd goes wild again as Arielle walks on to the stage waving with a huge smile. She goes to sit between Paul and Tessa. They all wait for everyone to calm down before they began.
"Hi, everyone!" Arielle smiles and the crowd briefly cheers happy to see her. "I am so glad I was asked to join my three favourite people up here on stage today." She looks around at her friends, all of them giving her smiles.
The crowd claps before the host speaks in the microphone. "Now that our Vampire Diaries cast has joined us again followed along by everyone's favourite best friend character of the show, let's ask them some questions."
The girl holding the microphone had come out to the crowd again and went to go choose someone. "Hi I'm Samantha but you can call me Sam..."
"Hi Sam!" Tessa grins making the young girl giggle nervously.
"Hi, I'm a huge fan. Heh, I have a question for you Tessa and Arielle."
"Go for it, girl." Arielle forwards her, crossing one leg over the other.
"If you guys would switch characters, what is the one thing you'd make your new character do?"
The crowd clapped at that question.
Tessa looks over at Arielle; thinking. "Um...if I were Lexi I would probably find a way out of being dead, like maybe find a loophole."
"That's a good one." Arielle nods. "If I were Kayla I would probably...I think I would make her have a job." Arielle looks at Tessa. "I don't know why but I feel like she'd be a good business woman or secretary." She gasps. "Oh my God, no I would have Kayla run for mayor."
The crowd begins to clap.
"I think Damon would be very happy to have a sexy mayor be his girlfriend." Ian laughs.
The crowd whistles and cheering 100% agreeing with Ian as Tessa just looks at him laughing and ruffling his hair.
"Wait Tessa if you were Lexi you wouldn't wanna hook up with Damon?" Paul peaks his head out a bit to be able to see her.
"No." Tessa laughs. "For one, I wouldn't want to ruin Kayla and Damon's relationship even though I wouldn't be playing that character and wait..." She furrows her brows looking at Arielle. "Didn't Lexi and Damon already hook up?"
"Yeah, you're right they did hook up." Paul chuckles.
"That was an interesting storyline they had there." Ian adds in making everyone laugh.
"It was but here's the thing, I love how they keep Lexi, like they keep bringing her back and they keep finding excuses-" the crowd starts going wild making Paul have to stop.
"Thank you. Thank you." Arielle puts a hand on her heart so glad her fans agree.
"I'm just like waiting for the next thing that brings you back." Paul looks at her.
Arielle smiles putting a hand on his shoulder. "You and them." She means the fans clearly seeing that they want her back too.
"Maybe you, maybe we can come back to that rooftop to see what happened when they were there." Ian looks at her.
The crowd cheers making Arielle shake her head laughing partially from embarrassment.
"I think you saw them just cuddling in that scene...I'm not even sure but what I do know was that it was freezing."
"Yeah, yeah it was freezing." Arielle nods at him. "I was keeping him warm that's how it went down."
"How was it?" Tessa looks at Arielle with a cheeky smile.
"Yeah, was it as good as they say." Paul also looks at her.
Arielle turns to Paul. "You know that the actors don't actually have sex, right? Or is that just for me?"
Paul laughs. "Actually they do, if they're okay with it."
"Well then I don't know." Arielle throws her hands up in the air and scooting herself on the chair back to the crowd making everyone laugh as she just gives up.
The crowd begins to die down and the cast sees that someone in the audience was chosen to speak in the microphone.
"Hi, my name is Emma and my question is for the girls." Both Tessa and Arielle looked at her ready to answer. "Move out of your characters shoes for a second, and I want to know, would you rather date Stefan or Damon?"
The crowd starts cheering and clapping. Tessa and Arielle both begin to laugh at each other, Ian and Paul on the other hand look at the girls intrigued.
"Um, I don't know." Tessa giggles. "For Kayla I definitely think Damon's the perfect match with no doubt. But at the same time..." Tessa readjusts herself on her chair ready to explain. "See if it were season 1 Damon I don't think so but now that Damon has evolved and grown up, that I would choose."
"What about Stefan?" Paul turns to her.
"Thing is, I love Stefan but it's when he goes into "ripper mode" is what I don't like." Tessa does the quotation marks with her fingers. "Like imagine this, I'm about to have a baby in a few months and would I really want to have not only a vampire but a vampire with an uncontrollably bloodlust living with my daughter? I don't think so."
"Yeah, Tessa has a point." Arielle agrees. "If I had a baby I definitely wouldn't want a vampire that is a sucker for blood living with my child, but...not planning on having one anytime soon and I just think Stefan is such a sweetheart so personally I think I'd choose Stefan."
The crowd that agrees with her starts cheering.
"And what about you, Tess?" Ian looks at his fiancé. "Are you team Stefan or Damon?"
"Mmm...you know what? Damon." Tessa nods finally choosing. She glances over at Paul laughing. "No offence Paul."
The crowd laughs and cheers, the ones who agree on Damon.
"None taken." Paul shrugs. "I'd probably choose Damon too."
The crowd that's on team Damon cheers even louder.
"Well there you have it." Arielle chuckles. "I'm team Stefan and Tessa chooses Damon...apparently so does Paul."
The crowd cheers a little more before finally it stops and the next person in the crowd gets to ask their question.
"Hi, I'm Jessica but people call me Jess."
"Hi Jessica." Ian smiles into his microphone at the young blonde.
"Omg, hi." She giggles in excitement. "So my question is, if you can have any main character on the show die, who would it be?"
The crowd starts cheering once again actually happy to hear the cast's answers to the question.
"In my opinion, all the characters on the show are technically "main" characters." Tessa starts. "But do you mind defining the "main characters"?"
"Yeah." Arielle nods agreeing with her friend. "I mean it can go from Elena, Damon and Stefan to the Salvatore brothers, the Mikaelson's and the other girls....like what do you mean?"
"I mean like...the main characters as possibly like Klaus, Rebekah, Elijah...um, Caroline and Bonnie, Matt, Tyler...Jeremy, Elena and Kayla and the Salvatore brothers."
"Okay, that we can work with." Arielle smiles.
"Matt." Paul says into the microphone with no fear.
"I second that." Ian agrees.
Tessa looks at both boys, shocked at how fast they answered. "Really?"
"What? You don't agree?" Ian looks at her.
"I mean yeah...I don't know but why are you so sure?"
"Because he has no necessary storyline." Paul shrugs.
"What do you mean by "no necessary storyline"?" Arielle turns to the light brunette.
"I mean that out of all the characters he is the least interesting character." Paul once again shrugs.
"But don't get us wrong Zach Reorig is a great buddy of ours." Ian turns to crowd.
"No, of course we love Zach." Paul nods. "But even he agrees that Matt hasn't had much going on for him."
"Okay you guys do have a point." Arielle agrees.
Tessa chuckles. "Honestly yeah. I mean I was gonna say Kayla but..."
The crowd begins to boo.
"What?" Tessa furrows her brows. "You don't think she was just an "add in"?"
"No!"
"Wow." Tessa laughs to herself.
"No Kayla is needed." Ian nods.
"Yeah, I mean who would be the one to take care of Jeremy and Elena?" Paul adds in.
"Not just that, do you see the way Damon looks at her?" Arielle comments herself. She turns to Tessa. "I mean, I'm not sure if it's just the way Ian looks at you in general but on screen Damon looks head over heels."
"No, I'm pretty sure that's just how Ian looks at Tessa." Paul laughs.
"How does he look at me?" Tessa looks at him.
Paul tilts his head slightly and does a small smirk with heart eyes at Tessa, showing her that's what Ian looks like when he looks at her.
Tessa begins to laugh. "Wow really?"
The crowd begins to scream. "Yes!"
"I've never noticed that before." She chuckles looking at her fiancé.
Ian nods laughing. "Honestly neither have I."
The crowd let's out small laughter.
"Well thank you so much to the cast of the Vampire Diaries joining us here today. Everyone, give them a round of applause!"
The crowd begins to clap and cheer loudly.
"Thank you." Paul smiles.
"I had an amazing time. Thank you all!" Tessa smiles waving.
"We are so blessed to have you guys here supporting us." Ian puts his hands together and bows his head like he always does.
"I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did." Arielle smiled.
The crowd begins screaming "Yes!" "We love you!"
"Thank you four for coming here today and joining us here in Orlando." The host standing on the corner of the stage smiles.
"No, thank you." Ian responds.
"And before we go..." Arielle looks at her fellow three cast mates. "I think we should take a selfie to remember this."
"Yes!" Tessa grins.
"Let's do it." Paul nods.
The four of them get up from their chairs and stand with their backs facing the crowd. Arielle takes out her phone and turns on the camera. She stands between Ian and Paul while Tessa stands on the corner beside Paul. Arielle raises up her phone so if catches the crowd in the background.
"Alright everyone, ready?!" Arielle says into the microphone.
"1...2...3...."
The camera clicks and everyone begins cheering.
"Thank you everyone!" Paul grins putting his hand up in the air.
"We love you!" Tessa kisses her palm and blows it out to everyone.
Ian waves. "See you!"
"Bye!" Arielle smiles as the four of them file off the stage.
The crowd claps and the vampire diaries theme song begins playing as the screen above the stage starts showing snippets of scenes from the show.
