may was picking out an outfit for a dinner with elijah, klaus, damon and stefan. they wanted to try to make a deal to buy bonnie and her mother time to unseal the last coffin.

the three of them went over to klaus' place and knocked on the door.

they heard someone come open the door and elijah was the one who opened it for them.

"niklaus. our guests have arrived." elijah said letting them walk in.

"damon. mabel. stefan. elijah tells me you seek an audience. very bold. let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized people, shall we?" klaus said.

may saw a bunch of waitresses standing behind him and she knew they were probably compelled to be there.

"it's better to indulge him." elijah said.

"i didn't, uh, 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 hear us out." stefan said.

"well, we can sit and eat or i can each down your throats and pull out your insides. the choice is yours." klaus said.

"well, this food isn't going to eat itself." may said as she went to sit down.

-

"thank you, love." damon said to the waitress.

"you lost your appetite." klaus said to stefan as may drank her wine.

"eat. i thought we agreed that we would leave the grumpy stefan at home." damon told stefan as he smiled and ate some food.

"that's the spirit. isn't this nice? the five of us dining together. such a treat. is this what you had in mind when you pulled the dagger out of my brother?" klaus asked damon.

"well, i knew how he felt about you so i figured the more, the merrier." damon said.

"well, elijah and i have had our share of quarrels over the centuries, but we always make it through." klaus said.

"kind of like, uh, you and rebekah, right? where is she, by the way? last i checked she was still daggered because you were afraid to face her." stefan said.

"nasty temper, that one." may said.

"if you're referring to the fact that rebekah knows i killed our mother... i've already come clean to elijah." klaus said.

"hey, stef, remember when you killed dad? might wanna dial down the judgement till dessert." damon said.

"we're here to make a deal, damon. doesn't mean we need to kiss his ass for seven courses." stefan said.

"i'm just saying, we have a long evening ahead of us, pace yourself." damon said.

"as you can see, stefan left his table manners at home." may said.

-

"stefan, where is the lovely elena tonight?" elijah asked.

"oh, boy." may mumbled.

"i don't know. ask damon." stefan said as klaus laughed.

"i'm sorry. you missed so much. uh... trouble in paradise." klaus said.

"one more word about elena and, uh, this dinner is over." stefan said.
