No one's POV

Ariana was in her bedroom, sleeping. She turned over in her sleep, snuggling into the person lying next to her as she rested her head on their chest. The person smiled lovingly down at Ariana before whispering softly in her ear.

"Rise and shine, sleepy head."

Ariana's eyes fluttered open and they immediately landed on the person she was basically lying on.

It was Damon.

Startled, Ariana stumbled away, going to the other end of her bed.

"Aah! What are you doing?! Get out!"

"You know, you're cute when you sleep." Damon smirked. Ariana rolled her eyes, checked her alarm, then turned to glare at Damon with frustration.

"Six a.m.? Seriously? Do you really have nothing better to do at six a.m.?"

"Fine, don't come with me to bring Nathan and Elena home. See ya." Damon shrugged. He stood up from Ariana's bed.

"Wait. Wait, wait, wait. What? What are you talking about? Where are they?" Ariana questioned.

"Windy city." Damon replied. Ariana's eyes widened with surprise.

"They're in Chicago? Well, how do you know?"

"It came to me in a dream. I was naked. You would have loved it." Damon teased with a playful smirk. "Start packing."

"Are they okay?" Ariana asked.

"Well, let's just say they're not there to meet Oprah." Damon joked. He opened one of her drawers and took out a pair of Ariana's lacy black underwear. "Ooh. Put these in the 'yes' pile."

Ariana got up, took it from his hands and put it back in the drawer.

"Will you stop annoying her for just one day, Damon?" Spoke a voice from the doorway. Both Ariana and Damon looked over and saw Stefan stood there, leaning against the door frame.

"Thank you, Stefan!" Ariana exclaimed gratefully before shooting a quick glare at Damon.

"What are you doing here, my buzzkill brother?" Damon wondered, rolling his eyes.

"I'm coming to Chicago with you." Stefan informed.

"Why?" Damon scoffed.

"Because I am determined to bring Elena back from the edge so that she could be my loving girlfriend again. Vampire or not." Stefan snapped, a little too harshly, at Damon.

"Sounds great." Ariana smiled. Stefan smiled back, before his smile turned into a smirk.

"But Damon was right, Ana." He paused. "You should definitely were those underwear."

"Oh, shut up!" Ariana yelled, picking up two pillows from her bed and throwing one at Stefan and Damon each. They both laughed as they ran out of the room with vamp speed to avoid the pillows, but Damon peaked his head back around.

"Be ready in an hour!"

And then, he got a pillow in the face. That made Ariana laugh.

Damon thought that the pillow in the face was worth it if he at least got to hear her laugh...

Damon, Ariana, and Stefan were driving on a highway to Chicago. Damon took out an old diary.

"Read this. Paints a pretty little picture of Nathan's first experience in Chicago."
