[Diner: Liv is sitting at a table when Luke enters and sits opposite her.]
I ordered us waffles. I figured our last meal wouldn't be complete until we poured liquid sugar all over it.
Luke
[Looking at a menu] My ray of sunshine sister.
[Lowers Luke's menu] The coven's pissed, Luke. You were supposed to hide Stefan and Elena from the Travelers, and you practically delivered them on a silver platter.
Luke
Okay, how was I suppose to know that "Casper the English Ghost" would be a complication?
That's not the point. We were never suppose to let things get this far. We got sucked into some stupid "let's be friends," trap.
Luke
Look, these people are nice, okay? More than I can say for our screwed up family.
[The utensils sitting in front of Luke begin to shake violently. Luke gets a headache and clutches his head while groaning in pain.]
Luke
What are you doing?
It's not me. Like I said, the coven is pissed.
Luke
Fine, I'm listening!
[The utensils stop shaking.]
We were supposed to keep the doppelgängers from falling into Markos' hands. We failed. We can't let them succeed in taking away our magic. There's only one move left: We have to kill Stefan and Elena.
Luke
Yeah. [Sips from his drink.]
[Tyler is walking through the crowd. Luke is talking with someone when he sees Tyler walking through the crowd, leading him to approach him.]
Luke
[To Tyler] Hey, have you seen Elena?
She's not coming. Apparently, she's not in her right mind.
Luke
What happened?
[Finishes up his drink and throws away his cup] Is this what you've been up to all summer? Messing with Elena's brain? Does it help with the guilt or are you just desperate for friends?
Luke
Where's Elena now?
Why? So you can trick her into thinking Damon's alive? Who does that? She almost killed someone.
Luke
[Pushes Tyler back a step] You're drunk.
[Slaps Luke's drink out of his hand] Don't touch me! [Grabs Luke in a choke-hold] Where's your magic now, Parker? What's wrong? You can't chant? You stay away from Elena, or you're gonna have a problem your magic wand can't fix.
[Approaches Tyler and Luke] [To Tyler] Hey! Knock it off! [Shoves Tyler away from Luke] Knock it off! You got it under control, huh? Huh?
[Tyler looks at Alaric and Luke, then leaves.]
[To Luke] You wanna tell me what that was about? Come on. Let's get out of here.
[Alaric and Luke leave.]
[Tyler and Liv are walking, the latter admiring herself in her compact mirror.]
Why did you tell me your birthday was in two weeks?
To avoid this exact conversation. Am I wearing too much eyeliner?
If you and Luke are 22, that means you're old enough to merge.
That's why Luke and I are gonna bust our wonder-twin powers of persuasion, make Dad think that Jo's powerful enough to overpower Kai, and Luke and I won't have to do the Merge.
Luke
[Walks up beside Tyler and Liv and points to the latter] You're wearing way too much makeup. [Points to Tyler] And he shouldn't be here.
He's not staying, and why are you wearing a tie?
Luke
I'm about to ask the leader of the Gemini Coven to let us out of a centuries-old tradition. Kind of need him to take me seriously.
You should let me talk to him.
Really bad idea. Promise me that you'll stay out of it.
What happens if you don't convince him?
You die. You and Luke merge. Luke wins, you die.
Then don't worry. You're not gonna lose me.
[Tyler and Liv kiss. Liv and Luke walk away. Tyler watches on.]
