Episode Guide

**First Encounter** is the first episode of *The Fogerty Diaries* and the first fanfiction of the series overall.

## Plot

It was the first day of school for the Mystic Falls Gang, including their friend, Jacob Fogerty. Jacob lives with his adoptive mother, Elizabeth, and her daughter, Caroline. While on his way to school, Jacob attempts to call Caroline. However, his call wouldn't go through.

Afterward, Bonnie and Elena are on their way to school until a crow flew in front of them. Stunned by what happened, they continue on towards the school. Next, Stefan is walking towards the school and is.

"Major lack of male real estate." Bonnie told Elena as the two of them walked towards their lockers. "Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beech." Bonnie continued to speak as said student, Kelly Beech, walked past them. "She looks like a hot — can I still say "a huge mess"?" Bonnie asked.

"No, that's over." Elena told Bonnie.

"Ahh, find a man, coin a phrase. It's a busy year." Bonnie said.

Both Bonnie and Elena saw Matt Donovan, Elena's ex-boyfriend, and Elena attempted to wave to him. But Matt ignored her. Elena then sighed before saying, "He hates me."

"That's not hate. That's 'you dumped me, but I'm too cool to show it, but secretly I'm listening to Air Supply's greatest hits.'” Bonnie told Elena, trying to reassure her best friend that her ex didn't hate her, but was just sad over the breakup four months ago.

Caroline, another one of their best friends besides Jacob, approached both girls. As she walked towards them, she said, "Elena. Oh my god." Caroline then pulled Elena into a huge hug and let go before asking , "How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you." Caroline then turned to talk to Bonnie, How is she? Is she good?”

Elena, kind of annoyed that Caroline was asking Bonnie questions about her like she wasn't right here, said, “Caroline, I’m right here. And I’m fine. Thank you.”

“Really?” Caroline asked.

“Yes. Much better.” Elena told Caroline while also trying to convince herself that it was true.

“Oh, you poor thing” Caroline said, as she brought Elena into a hug once more. Caroline then looked around and noticed something was missing and decided to ask Elena and Bonnie.

"Hey, do either of you know where Jacob is? I don't see him anywhere." Caroline asked, worried about their friend. He was never tardy or late to school. At least that Caroline has never seen.

“Nope. Haven’t seen him yet.” Bonnie answered.

“Yeah, I haven’t seen him at all today yet either, Caroline.“ Elena told Caroline. “I don’t know where he could be. Have you tried calling him?”

"No, but I can try." says Caroline. As Caroline attempts to call her older brother, he doesn't answer. "Jacob? It's Caroline, you know your little sister. Call me when you get this message, okay?" Caroline hangs up and then starts walking off in search of her older brother. I hope that she’ll find him. That is when it dawned on Elena that tomorrow would be the tenth anniversary of Jacob's mother's death, a decade since she died. "Jacob's never late for the first day of school. This isn't like him." says Elena.

Meanwhile, Jeremy was currently outside. Hanging out with Vicki, Matt Donovan's older sister, who does drugs.

Jeremy currently had pills in his hand and was talking to Vicki. He told her, “Don’t take more than two in a six hour window.”

Vicki then proceeded to take the pills from Jeremy and popped two of them into her mouth. That is when resident jock, Tyler Lockwood, decided to show up.

“Hey, Vicki.” Tyler said. “I knew I’d find you here with the crackheads.”

“Hey.” Vicki said in response.

Tyler then turned to Jeremy and said, “Hey Pete Wentz called. He wants his nail polish back.”

Jeremy then gave him a look before saying, “Pete Wentz, huh? How old school T.R.L. of you. Carson Daly fan?”

Vicki then decided to lightly intervene, “Oh, Ty, be nice. That’s Elena’s little brother.” Vicki added in that last bit as, even if she disliked the girl for breaking her little brother’s heart, Elena was still one of Tyler's childhood friends.

Tyler, currently not caring, replied, “I know who he is. I’ll still kick his ass.” Tyler then proceeded to kiss Vicki, who then kissed him back.

Later, Stefan compels the school secretary to let him into school despite not the required paperwork as Bonnie and Elena check him out in the hallway.

Elena sees Jeremy enter the men's room, so she follows him and accuses him of taking drugs when she catches him, putting eye drops in his eyes. He walks out, and Stefan encounters Elena leaving the men's room. They are both awkward around each other for a moment before Elena leaves, eyeing him again as she goes. In Mr. In Tanner's class, Bonnie texts Elena to tell her that Stefan is staring at her.

Meanwhile, Elena was currently sitting in history class, the class Mr. Tanner taught. Elena was worried about Jacob and why he wasn’t here.

Elena then pulled out her phone as she decided she would text him and see what’s going on with him.

But then Elena here’s an “ahem.”

She looks up and see’s that it is Mr. Tanner and he’s holding his hand out, wanting her phone. Elena, sighing in defeat, begrudgingly put her phone in his hand and watched him put it in his desk, meaning she wouldn’t get it back until the end of the class.

Jacob finally shows up but gets into trouble with Mr. Tanner.

As Tanner berates Jacob for being late, Stefan defends him

He then started running home until his feet started, making him go way faster than he expected, and suddenly, he was in front of his house. He walked up to the door and was thankful it was unlocked.

He then locked the door after getting inside and headed up to his shaded room. If he was going to figure out what was wrong, he was going to have to do some research.

Hours later, Caroline returns home after school and hears a sudden noise coming from upstairs. Caroline, as she roamed around the house, said, "Jacob? Are you here, buddy? It's me, Caroline, your little sister."

She then heads upstairs and finds Jacob sitting on his bed, though he becomes aware of Caroline's presence and greets her. "Hello, my dear sister. Sorry I wasn't in school today. My stomach was hurting, so I skipped today, " Jacob says, proceeding to lie to his little sister.

Later that night, Elena and the Mystic Falls gang head to Mystic Grill, where Vicki works as a bartender. "Hey, Vicki."

"Hey, Ty." Jacob says, as he greets two of his other friends.

"Hey. Noticed you were late school today. What happened?" Tyler asked, wondering where Jacob was all day.

"I was attacked a random blonde woman in the cemetery earlier today. *Jacob tells Tyler; deciding he'd tell the truth to Tyler and Matt, as Matt was nearby. He didn't think of how Tyler or Matt could easily tell Caroline that he told them if they wanted to and have her find out that he lied to her.*

"What were you doing in the cemetery?" Matt asked, confused, wondering why Jacob would be at the cemetery.

"I was putting flowers on my mother's grave." Jacob told Matt in response.

"Is that all?" Matt asked.

"As I was ready to leave," Jacob told them, continuing to fill them in on the story, in worry. " Some blonde bitch attacked me."

"You mean..??" Matt wondered in confusion.

"Not Caroline. She was at school." Jacob told Matt. "This one had sharp canines. Something tells me she's not human, but something more supernatural."

At the bonfire, Jacob sits alone until he's approached by Stefan. "Hey Stefan. Have you seen Elena anywhere? I need to apologize to her for skipping school." Jacob asks Stefan. "She's over there." Stefan responds as he sees the bitemarks on Jacob's neck. "You were attacked by something weren't you?" Stefan wonders. "Yeah, a blonde woman attacked me in the cemetery. She had sharp canines, but it's weird I initially bled to death, then all of the sudden I came back to life. That wasn't supposed to happen. I was always taught that once you leave Earth, you find eternal life, or sent straight to Hell for your sins." Jacob responds.

"Strange." Stefan replies, just as Bonnie and Elena approach them.

"Hey you." Bonnie happily says upon seeing Jacob. "Hey Bon Bon. Sorry I scared you yesterday." Jacob replies.

"Are you feeling any better today?" Bonnie asks, worrying about her friend. "Yeah, I just wish my mom was still here." Jacob responds. "I know you do buddy. She loved you, just as your friends do, especially Elena. You should talk to her." Bonnie replies.

"I'm going to give her some space tonight, plus she doesn't want to talk to me anyway. Not after yesterday." Jacob says, with a depressive tone.

"Jacob, don't say that. Elena cares about you. She's just worried about you. You really hurt her feelings today." Bonnie replies."

"I'm sorry Bonnie, I wasn't trying to. The truth is I was attacked in the cemetery today after seeing my mother's grave. This woman was blonde, beautiful, but she had really sharp canines. She wasn't human. Be careful Bon, I get the feeling she'll finish the job tonight." Jacob says, trying to warn Bonnie to be careful as she tells him, Annette would be proud of him.

".

"Hey girly, what's up?" Jacob asking Elena, who hugs him. "Sorry I was hanging out Stefan." Elena tells Jacob. "You don't need to be sorry. It's okay." Jacob responds. "I was really worried about you yesterday." Elena says. "I went to see her grave yesterday." Jacob replies. "Your mom's?" asks Elena. "Yeah. I miss her ya know." says Jacob. "I know you do. She loved you. We all love you Jacob." says Elena. "Why don't you spend the night?" asks Elena. "I'd love that." says Jacob.

Jacob begins to create a makeshift bed on the floor, although Jenna stresses that he sleeps on the couch instead.
