... There are good parts, right? Either way, we can just pretend we're not stuck in some crazy castle who likes to keep us apart. Maybe we can go have coffee? We haven't done that in a while. Has anyone ever told you you worry too much? :)

...Yeah and you're one of them, Elena.

Coffee sounds good and I'm sorry that I haven't met up with you as often as I should be. I've been a bad best friend

I have to introduce you to a girl named Kitty here. I think you'd like her.

You're probably the only person that does.

As the theme of this holiday is to be cheesy, let me just say that, all cheese aside, I don't know what I would've done without you in Mystic Falls. You or Caroline. I just wish she was here for me to tell her. No way. It's been kind of busy, hasn't it? I've been waiting for the inevitable loss I'm bound to go on. Anyone you befriend here, I'll like. And that's why we brunch. Or coffee brunch.

I wish that Caroline was here too. But it's probably better that she's home, right? She can help to look after the rest of them back home.

Speaking of losses, it's been a while since I was on mine. Maybe I'll have another one soon. Though I hope it's not as bad as the last one was.

She's really sweet and friendly.

Coffee brunch. I like that idea.

I trust no one else with Jenna.

[ there's a bit of a pause there. elena really, really misses the both of them; she feels like she's letting them down by still being here. they shouldn't have to fight a battle that had nothing to do with them in the first place. ]

Maybe the castle is done with you? I'm kind of glad not to be locked in a room. I like fresh air just like the rest of them. I think I've met her. These journals aren't really good for keeping track of people. We should make it a thing. Like every Friday. What's your favorite day?

Jenna will be fine with her. I know.

[except bonnie knows what happens to jenna and she still hasn't told elena; the only person she told was caroline and now she was back home, probably with no memories of this place. bonnie isn't sure if she wants to tell elena.]

Hey, I'm glad that you're not locked in a room too. It sucked that you were stuck there and I couldn't do anything to get you out again.

You probably have, yeah. I think I've talked to more people here than actually meeting them in person so sometimes I forget who I have met. It's confusing.

Friday is okay. I don't really have a preference for a day though.

Hearing - or reading - you say that makes me feel better. You're from my future. And, regardless, I trust you. Which wasn't your fault. I know you would've done your best if the castle let you know. I'm just glad you didn't disappear on me in the meantime because then I wouldn't have been too happy. I've never felt so social before. I guess the castle is good for one thing, at least! You better watch out, Bonnie Bennett. I might just request to see you every day.

I'm glad that you do. The feeling is pretty much mutual, Elena.

I'm happy that you didn't disappear on me either. Like suddenly. I would hate to be here without you. I need to have one of my besties with me and things wouldn't be the same if you weren't around.

As it happens, I have no problem with granting that request, Elena Gilbert. All you gotta do is say when and where and I'll be there. Promise.

If you weren't around I'd have a reason to lock myself in my room. Why don't we make a deal? If you go, you take me with you. Valentine's Day. We should make a date of it. And every day after that until you're absolutely sick of me.

Okay, I accept that deal and I'll made good on it too.

Apparently, Valentine's Day isn't the best day as weird things happen to the residents. Or so I've been told.

But any other day is good.

Did your room happen to move?

[ she might be planning to leave something special outside your door, best friend .... ]

Right. Kind of a silly decision to want something normal on a day where everything that isn't normal happens. After Valentine's Day? Or should we wait a few days for the fallout?

Nope. Why do you ask?

[consider Bonnie very curious, Elena.]

Maybe we should wait a couple of days after Valentine's just to be on the safe side. We'll make a big thing about it, okay?

I heard a lot of people had their rooms change on them. I just wanted to make sure you were still on a floor that exists.

[ WHICH IS HALF OF THE REASON WHY SHE ASKS. but, you know ... elena will not be obvious!! ]

Good thinking. This castle likes to prolong things, doesn't it? Hmm. Miss Bennet. The whole day, then?

Yes. The whole day. We need to just spend it having fun and doing all the things we do back home. Like shopping and getting coffee. Playing pool. Normal things.

Just because we're away from home, it doesn't have to stop our fun.

And no wishing. Cheating at pool is okay since that's normal. We should bring some fun into the castle. No one's lived until they've played you at pool.

Hadn't even crossed my mind, Elena.

You thinking we should hold a pool competition in the castle? I know there's at least one bar that has a few pool tables. I'm sure we could get some people interested in it.

I felt like I should reinforce it for myself. It's incredibly tempting. It's probably not a fair competition when we're involved. But, you know what, I think that would be a great idea. My bias aside.

Well, yeah, we are amazing at pool. So maybe we could just do the organisation part and let everybody else play.

Yay! :)
