"What's up, Damon?" Alaric asked as he entered The Grill and took a seat at the bar. Damon looked over to his friend and smirked. "Not much, Ric. Just an average night."
"Of drinking?"
"You know me so well." Damon replied, taking a drink out of his tumbler and sliding the empty glass to the bartender.
"Same thing?" The bartender asked. Damon nodded in response. "Yeah, get the same for him."
Alaric watched the bartender make the drink and grimaced. "What is he making?"
"Don't ask, just enjoy."
"I'd rather not." Alaric frowned, examining the glass that was now in front of him. Damon rolled his eyes, downing both glasses of the strange liquid. "What are you here for anyways? It's Sunday night."
"And?"
"It's a school night, Ric. You shouldn't be drinking."
Alaric shook his head and chuckled. "Shut up."
"You're becoming too rebellious, my friend."
"And you're still a jackass."
"Touche."
The two sat in silence for quite some time. Not an awkward silence, very peaceful for being at a bar. Not too many drunks out on a Sunday night. Alaric rested his head on his hand as he gazed in the direction of his friend. Damon looked at Alaric intently, waiting for him to same something. He knew Alaric was thinking of something,
"Spit it out, Ric. What do you want."
"You busy tonight, Damon?"
"Are you trying to ask me out?" Damon asked, throwing his hand over his chest. "I'm touched, really."
"Seriously, Damon." Alaric groaned, rubbing his face.
Damon glanced the around the bar and shook his head. "Nope. Doesn't look like I have too much going on tonight. Not one sorority girl has even stepped foot in this place today."
Alaric raised an eyebrow. "How long have you been here?"
Damon shrugged. "Since ten, maybe noon. Who cares? What do you have in mind?"
"Chat room?"
Damon sent Alaric a wicked grin and nodded. "Definitely."

XxElena-GilbertxX: I don't know, Care. Things haven't been working out.
Caring-Car3-B3ar: Aw, Elena! That's so sad :(
XxElena-GilbertxX: I know. We just really haven't had the time to talk.
Caring-Car3-B3ar: What's been keeping you two from talking?
XxElena-GilbertxX: School work, The Originals, Damon.
Caring-Car3-B3ar: Seriously, Elena? What is going on between you and Damon?
XxElena-GilbertxX: I really have no idea what you're talking about.

Caring-Car3-B3ar: You have got to be kidding me. Really Elena?
XxElena-GilbertxX: I have nothing to do with them.
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: What are you two lonely teenagers talking about?
XxElena-GIlbertxX: I'm not lonely. I have Stefan. He's just not around right now.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: I realized that Elena never said anything about Stefan a few nights ago.
Caring-Car3-B3ar: What? Where was I?
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Probably attempting to procreate with the wolf boy.
XxElena-GilbertxX: What are you talking about, Alaric?
Caring-Car3-B3ar: I hate you.
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: ;)
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: You don't remember? Elijah was saying that you're a lonely teenage girl with no boyfriend and you want to jump us.
Caring-Car3-B3ar: WTF. ELENA!
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Nice one, Ric.
XxElena-GilbertxX: Stefan and I have just hit a rough patch, no big deal.
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Okay Elena, you keep telling yourself that.
Stefan-Salvatore has joined the chat.
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Good timing, brother.
Stefan-Salvatore: Is Elena on here?
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: I am.
Stefan-Salvatore: Just you two?
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Not for long I'm guessing.
Stefan-Salvatore: Wonderful. I can't take Elena anymore.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: Oh? What do you mean?
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Please do tell.
Stefan-Salvatore: I can't take anymore of her bitching. She complains all the damn time. She just doesn't understand that we should take a break.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: Like Ross and Rachel...
Stefan-Salvatore: Who?
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Never mind that. So a break, huh? Like from each other? Permanently?
Stefan-Salvatore: I really don't know at the moment.
Caring-Car3-B3ar- Damn. Tell us how you really feel, Stefan.
Stefan-Salvatore: I thought you said it was just you two?
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Whoops. I forgot my plus one.
XxElena-GilbertxX: Plus two, actually.
Stefan-Salvatore: Oh shit...
XxElena-GilbertxX: Damn straight.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: Oh man. Run like the wind, Bullseye!
Stefan-Salvatore: What?
Caring-Car3-B3ar: WOW. You really are an idiot, aren't you?
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Stupidity really is an unattractive trait, Stef. You really need to watch TV more. And stop believing me, or don't. I don't really care, either way it's fun for me.
XxElena-GilbertxX: We need to talk.
Stefan-Salvatore: Oh god, please no more. I'm really over this talking thing.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: Oh man, this is too great. Please do retaliate Elena. You are getting schooled right now!
Caring-Car3-B3ar: The fact that you're my teacher I think I have the right to say that you are being highly unprofessional and very rude. I could screen shot these messages, you know.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: Keep this between us and I won't mention yours and Tyler's sex sessions in the janitors closest to anyone.
Caring-Car3-B3ar: Deal.
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Please stop talking.
XxElena-GilbertxX: STEFAN.
Stefan-Salvatore has left the chat.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: Smart man.
XxElena-GilbertxX: Considering you are currently my legal guardian and basically my step dad I feel like I should have more support from you... Daddy.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: Um...
Caring-Car3-B3ar: Oh, please retaliate Mr. Saltzman. You are getting schooled right now.
Caring-Car3-B3ar has been removed from the chat.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: Aw, Elena! You do love me, don't you? You removed your friend because she was making fun of your Daddy. You're too much. Love you ;')
XxElena-GilbertxX: I didn't do that...
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: I did.
XxElena-GilbertxX: What? How?
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: I didn't tell you? I hacked into Blondie's account and changed the passwords and now I'm basically in charge of this chat room. You, Blondie and Witchy no longer have control of this room. Cool, huh?
XxElena-GilbertxX: Fml.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: You're truly something else, Damon.
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: Yet, you still stick around.
XxElena-GilbertxX: Ugh, you're both idiots. As soon as I turn 18 I am leaving this damn town and never coming back. You people are unbelievable.
SeX-oN-a-StIcK: You really do bitch a lot, don't you?
XxElena-GilbertxX: Haters gonna hate.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric: Yeah, I'm out.
Salty-Saltzman-Alaric has left the chat.
XxElena-GilbertxX: I guess he couldn't get on my level.
XxElena-GilbertxX has been removed from the chat.
