The cosmic karaoke had turned out to be quite the therapeutic experience for everyone involved. Through song, they had been able to uncover and confront their inner demons, leading to a newfound sense of clarity and self-awareness.
In preparation for the day ahead, i started my morning with a rejuvenating bath. Now, I was sitting in Caroline's room, discussing my plans while simultaneously texting on our phones. I was determined to make Caroline's birthday a memorable one, despite the challenges that lay ahead.

"So, you ready for this?" Caroline asked, her voice tinged with a mix of reluctance and resolve. Rising from Cassandra's lap, she met her friend's gaze and continued, "Do I want to do this? No. But do I need to do this? Yes." I answered her
Despite my reservations, i was resolved to face whatever the day had in store, even if it meant enduring Damon inevitable bitching and moaning.

As me and Caroline arrived at the guys' house, we spotted Enzo standing nearby. Overjoyed at the sight of him, I raced forward and enveloped him in a warm embrace.
"I can't believe I missed out on your cosmic karaoke extravaganza!" Enzo teased, a playful gleam in his eyes.
I chuckled in response, and my laughter tinged with a knowing smile. "Don't worry, I have a feeling it won't be the last time this happens."
The gang exchanged a series of skeptical glances before speaking up in unison, "Really?"
I simply shrugged my shoulders in response, my enigmatic smile lingering as i turned back to Enzo. "So, you being here must mean Finn has finished the next phase of the plan?" she deduced, noticing the enigmatic smile gracing Ethan's face.
"Hold on," Damon interjected, a hint of confusion and frustration coloring his voice, "what plan is this?, and how come we're only hearing about it now?"
I rolled my eyes, my exasperation palpable. "It's need-to-know only, Damon."
This response only seemed to further agitate Damon, his eyes narrowing as he probed further. "Does this have anything to do with what the three 'sound systems' said about your prophecy?"

Sensing the impending barrage of questions, i quickly raised my hand, preemptively silencing the group. "I promise, I'll tell you everything when the time comes," i reassured them, "because each of you has a crucial role to play in this plan. I'm not shutting you out it's just that this particular part doesn't involve you."
