AN: I'm really surprised that you guys like this one shot and wanted more. It was totally random and I didn't think anything of it, or if it was going anywhere. But here's another part. No beta. Thanks for reading! Yes more comic con!


1 year later

Caroline looked up at the giant convention center where Comic Con was being held. She looked at the crowds of people who lined up to get in. She saw all of them in their costumes. And only a year ago she was just like them. Except she was working it, and standing on her feet all day. She got dressed up in whatever costume they gave her and she worked till the late hours of the night. It was also a year ago that she had the unfortunate luck to be stuck in an elevator with him.

Caroline smiled as she thought back to that night. Klaus offered to give her a ride back to her place. She was hesitant but she did have another early morning gig to get to, so she accepted. Thus beginning her downfall.

"Can we make a stop along the way? I'm starving and I haven't eaten all day" Caroline said

"Sure, where do you want to go?" Klaus asked

"There's a mexican place along the way, it's open pretty late"

The limo stopped by the mexican restaurant. Caroline went in to order. The place was deserted except for the workers. They knew Caroline because of all the weird hours she worked. Klaus walked in after her. Caroline ordered and paid for her food. She waited for it to come out. Klaus sat down at a table and watched her. Caroline sat down at the table.

"I'll be done quick, I'm just so hungry" Caroline said

"No rush, enjoy your food"

"I gotta eat it and then head back, I have another early gig in the morning"

"What is it that you do?"

"I do these promo gigs, today I'm a faery waitress serving up True Blood, tomorrow I'm driving the Coke van, after that I'm going to some music festival giving out bubble gum I think"

"Interesting life you lead there"

"It pays the bills and it's never boring. Besides if I have to deal with stupid people I better be getting paid for it"

"Likewise"

Caroline's food came and she started eating it. Klaus was amused that Caroline didn't pretend to be dainty or polite. She scarfed down her food and in a few minutes it was gone.

"You really were hungry" Klaus said

"Yeah, a salad really wouldn't do it for me right now"

"So what are you doing out here in San Diego?"

"I'm not really from here"

"Where are you from?"

"Small town in Virginia, no one's ever heard of it"

"So what made you leave?"

"Small town life kinda got boring, I couldn't stay there forever. So I left, and headed out west"

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

"Not yet, but I gotta keep looking"

"Do you ever get tired?"

"Do you?"

"Sometimes, but then I have to look at the bigger picture, that everything I've done is working towards something"

"And here I thought you were just another teen drama actor"

"I despise that word"

"What actor?"

"No, teen drama, I swear I'm bloody 30 years old and they have me pretending I'm in high school"

"That's a really good moisturizer you use, tell me your secret"

"Now you're just mocking me"

"Really 30?"

"Why would I lie about my age?"

"You are a guy, you look good for your age"

"Well you know I try because I am on a teen drama, and no I don't glitter"

"But it would really bring out your eyes if you did"

Caroline laughed, and Klaus found himself smiling, enjoying his time with her. They two continued talking until the sun came up. Caroline saw the sun's rays through the small restaurant and looked at her phone.

"Crap! I'm going to be late again!" Caroline grabbed her stuff and ran out the door

"Wait!" Klaus chased after her

Caroline ran outside and saw that the limo was gone.

"Shit!" Caroline said

"Oh he left, we can get another one" Klaus said

"I'm late! Again!"

"Late for what?"

"My gig! This is not good!"

"I'll call a cab or something, relax"

"I'm always late because of you!"

"You wouldn't be if you just told me your name"


Klaus watched as Caroline changed in the back of the cab out of her waitress costume into a pair of black shorts and a red coke t shirt. Caroline ran out of the cab while Klaus told the driver to wait. He watched her as she ran towards the Coke van and spoke to the people who were already setting up. His phone started ringing and he saw it was his manager, Pearl, calling.

"Yes?" Klaus answered

"Where are you?! You're suppose to be on the redeye flying out!" Pearl yelled

"I felt like getting a Coke"

"You better be in the airport"

"So, there's another flight after right?"

"NO! The next one isn't for a few hours and you're suppose to be on set today!"

"Well that's not going to happen, I'll be on the next flight. See you soon"

"Klaus!"

Klaus hung up and walked over to Caroline.

"I have to go, and you never told me your name. Shall I call you sweetheart from now on?" Klaus asked

"You don't have to call me anything"

"Pity, and here I thought we were becoming friends"

"I'm sensing that you don't have many female friends"

"Nonsense, I have plenty"

"The kind of friends that you don't remember their names in the morning"

"And here I am trying to get yours and it's morning"

"I'd rather keep myself mysterious"

"Do you want to see me again"

"What show are you on again? Maybe I'll dvr it"

"You wound me love"

"And I thought you were going to call me sweetheart"


Caroline looked down at the badge she had in her hands. She had to go through security again to get inside the convention center. She walked in and it felt almost the same as last year. She walked down the hallways and stairway. She wondered if anyone from last year would remember her. She doubted it.

She found the ladies room and went to use it. She came back out and there were photographers taking pictures nearby. She quietly walked past them down the hallway. She saw Klaus in the middle of the crowd, she was surprised he wasn't blinded by the flashes. He made his way through and walked down the hallway where Caroline was.

"Didn't we meet a year ago here?" Klaus asked

"I'm surprised you remembered"

"I'd never forget you"

"You say that to all the girls?"

"Just the ones that don't give me their names sweetheart"

"And we're back to that now?"


6 months earlier

Klaus walked into set, he was ready to shoot the night scene, and hopefully they would be done before dawn. Tyler was there as well, the two of them were going to have a face off before Klaus's character would start killing people and draining them.

Hayley was talking to Tyler while he sat in his chair.

"Did you ask her? I mean did you really?" Hayley asked

"Hayley, they can't just give you a role, that's not how it works" Tyler said

"Why not? Isn't she like writing this thing? She can totally make a role for me"

"Hayley you can't act"

"Yes I can"

"No you can't, you bombed your audition. They even told you to take acting lessons"

"I don't need lessons"

"Yes you do, acting isn't about standing around looking pretty. If you wanted to do that then just be a model"

"I am a model, but I want to do more"

"Then do more, but you can't act, you're not willing to take lessons and no I can't just ask them to make a role for you. That's not how it works"

"Why not? Aren't you like the star of the show?"

"Just stop already"

"This isn't fair! I totally sucked up to her, if anything she should be nice and give me a role or something. Just a small part, not like a huge main character or anything"

"I'm going now, and put your phone on silent"

"Whatever"


Tyler walked onto the set where Klaus stood there waiting for him. The director walked over and went over the scene and the blocking with them.

"We're going to shoot you two doing the staring face off, first both of you then a close up of Tyler and then Klaus. We'll do the rigging for the fight after. We'll do the lines first. Then we'll do the part where Klaus starts killing people and draining them" Alaric said

"Great" Tyler said

"Alright then" Klaus said

A group of background extras were herded in. They were placed in the scene. Caroline looked around and wondered what show it was for. She really didn't care just that it was an overnight shoot and those paid pretty well.

"Ty, why can't I be one of the girls that Klaus drains?" Hayley asked

"I don't do casting Hayley, I don't have control over this" Tyler said

"But I want to act"

"Then take some lessons"


Klaus was standing on his mark, getting ready for the scene. They brought over a girl who he was suppose to bite on the neck. She was wearing a halter top and her breasts were pushed up so far he thought they would pop out of her top. She smiled at him. Klaus knew the show was going for sex appeal but this was a bit much. Plus the way she was dressed was completely out of character, compared to everyone else. They background extras were suppose to be high school teenagers watching a football game outside. She didn't look like a teenager let alone a high school girl. Klaus sighed and looked for the special effects people who were suppose to bring him his double set of fangs and blood. And then he saw her. Caroline standing near one of the lights talking to more background extras. He walked towards her.

"Fancy seeing you here" Klaus said

Caroline looked over and saw Klaus.

"What are you doing here?" Caroline asked

"I'm working"

"Me too"

"What are you doing in Atlanta? Weren't you in San Diego last time?"

"I was on tour, made a pit stop here"

The other extras were standing around quietly watching the two of them talk. The director yelled for Klaus to get back on his mark.

"Come with me" Klaus took her hand and led her back to the director

"What is it Klaus?" Alaric asked

"Let's try something different. I want to use her instead" Klaus said

"Her?"

"Yes her, she's dressed more appropriately for the woods than the other girl"

"Whatever, let's try it your way then, we're going to loose the night at this rate. Where the hell is Tyler? Tyler!"


Klaus walked up behind stage. He could hear the crowd talking. This was his third comic con panel. He was excited as he liked to hear what the fans had to say. He heard the crowd cheering and screaming. And then he heard his name being announced. The screaming got louder. He went out and was blinded by flashes. He sat down and looked at the sea of people ahead of him. It was amazing that the room was filled with that many people. Klaus was lost in his thoughts when the moderator asked him the question again.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" Klaus asked

"The question was, the blonde that you fed on in the woods, did you expect to turn her into a vampire?" the moderator asked

"Well, to tell you the truth, we really didn't know anything when we were shooting that night. It just happened that I picked that girl out of the background extras because, well why don't you ask her yourself?" Klaus said

The crowd screamed when Caroline walked on stage and waved at everyone. Everyone took out their cameras and took pictures. The rest of the panel moved over for Caroline to sit.

"Hi" Caroline said

"Now would you like to tell us the story?" the moderator asked

"I was doing background, and I didn't expect anything to happen. I didn't expect to be a featured extra, or to get bitten on camera. But the writers decided that the people in the woods that night would all turn into vampires for Klausy's army. So there I was a featured background extra again. I never got any speaking lines, but I was always there standing behind Klaus. And I guess the fans wondered who I was, why I was also there and why Klaus was always looking at me. So the writers decided to go with it, and created this backstory for my character. I mean I got to do these really amazing stunts and fight scenes before I even had any dialogue with him"

"And now you're a fan favorite"

"Thanks everyone"

"You know when I first met her a year ago she wouldn't give me her name" Klaus said

"WIth good reason"

"So where do you see the progression of your characters relationship going?" the moderator asked

"I'm not really sure, the writers have created this sexual tension between us, and at some point its going to have to bubble over" Klaus said

The crowd cheers.

"Well I don't know, I think my character is just fine without him. So what if he made her into a vampire for his army? It's not like he actually cares about her. She's just there." Caroline said

"But then why are there so many longing looks between your characters?" the moderator asked

"That's just the magic of editing" Caroline said

Klaus smirked at her and reached under the table for her hand. Caroline felt his hand on her thigh before grabbing onto her hand. He gave her a gentle squeeze.

"I don't think my character is capable of loving another person, he's 1000 years old, he's jaded, cynical, bored with humans, he sees them as food. But if anyone would ever make him feel anything it would be Caroline's character because she's so young she's seeing everything for the first time and because he constantly challenges him. And you know, if that were anyone else, they'd be dead" Klaus said

"So, we're hearing rumors about a spin off" the moderator asked
