Well, well, well. This certainly beats being on the other side.

I hear there's a few familiar faces That have missed me terribly.

I'm pretty excited for the ball everyone is talking about. I mean...come on. It's being thrown by Prince Charming and Snow White. Fairy tales and balls just go together. I'm pretty sure it will be a ball to remember. And I think I found the perfect dress.

[Stefan]

I demand you save me a dance! Or three!

[Bonnie & Elena]

Girls night this weekend?

You have got to be kidding me.

I love the holidays. I know it's not really Christmas yet, but I'm getting into the Christmas spirit.

And apparently baking way too much.

Does anyone want cookies? Or cupcakes? Or brownies? Because I sort of...overbaked. A lot.

( TVD Spoilers )

I really love the fall. It's colder than Mystic Falls, but it's still so pretty here. The colors are gorgeous.

Now, if I could just get the radio to play something else. I'm never going to get Blurred Lines out of my head at this rate.

So, Thanksgiving is coming up. We should totally do something as a group. Yes, I know, most of us are vampires who don't have to eat, but it could still be fun. Just spending time together and being thankful for what we have. I just think it would be nice, after all the craziness we've had to deal with the past few years...or past few hundred years in some cases.

Yes? No? Ideas?

So I gather I'm not the only one from Mystic Falls here? I'm really, really over witches at this point -- sorry, Bonnie. If you're here. Which I'm not sure you are. I'm still not sure this isn't some weird hallucination Tessa's put in my head. I guess it's better than it could be -- she could have put me back in the quarry. Who knows how long it'd take you all to notice I was gone this time?

Well, this is different. Can't exactly say I'm disappointed. Always preferable to not be stuck on the Other Side.

( Elena, Jeremy )
Are you both okay?

( Jenna )
I heard you were here too, but I'm still half expecting it to be some kind of screwed up joke.

I don't even know why I'm putting this here. For all I know, there's nobody to even see it.

But...god, you have no idea how much I've missed you. And I know things were a complete mess there at the end, and that was entirely my fault, but if you are here, then I never want to leave this place, because losing you was the worst thing that ever happened to me and I don't want to do that again.

So...yeah. That's just...I wanted you to know that.

Okay. So I'm in a magical town in Maine, with no way of getting back home.

God, I hate magic sometimes.

Anyway. Hi. My name is Elena Gilbert. Can anyone tell me if anyone else has shown up from a place called Mystic Falls?

Of course it's magic that's responsible. And always at the worst time.

Please tell me Elena isn't here. Bonnie? Stefan? Are you out there?

Well. This isn't the other side that's for damn sure. Beats being dead. Looks like I actually get to communicate with people. This is a very vast improvement.

This place looks nothing like New Orleans.

So what the hell is going on? I'm going to rule out that someone sent a dagger through me again, because I'm quite positive I would have remembered it.

Although I suppose I should believe that magic had something to do with this.
