Bonnie Bennett. You have spent your entire life making sacrifices for me. Now it's my turn to do it for you.

The relationship between the cured vampire/human doppelgänger, Elena Gilbert and the witch, Bonnie Bennett.

They have known each other since childhood and became close friends. They are both best friends with Caroline. Bonnie turned her back on Elena after her grandmother died, blaming Damon and Stefan and not wanting Elena to choose between her and them. She later forgave her when she saw her crying. Elena supported Bonnie dating her brother, Jeremy. Their relationship turned sour when Elena turned her humanity off in Season Four and turned on Bonnie. Elena attacked Bonnie twice and nearly killed her twice. Bonnie was able to fend off both attacks from Elena and almost killed Elena until Stefan and Damon saved her. When Elena got her humanity back, Bonnie immediately forgave her, saying she knew what it's like to not be yourself. Elena and Bonnie continued to be close throughout the next few seasons. Elena lost Bonnie twice until Bonie came back from the journey from being a ghost, the Anchor to the Other Side, and being thrust into a Prison World. However, they remained close until Kai Parker linked their lives together. They are currently permanently separated until Bonnie dies a natural death, much to their dismay. Bonnie promises to write down the rest of her life in a journal for Elena to read when she awakens from her lifelong slumber. Bonnie managed to break the spell in I Was Feeling Epic and the two happily reunited before Bonnie began traveling the world.

Quotes[]

Bonnie: "So Grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, witches and all that, I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it, and I'm like, put this woman in a home already! But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands...Elena! Back in the car."
Elena: "I did it again, didn't I? I--I'm sorry, Bonnie. You were telling me that..."
Bonnie: "That I'm psychic now."
Elena: "Right. Okay, then predict something. About me."
Bonnie: "I see..." [A crow hits their car.]
Bonnie: "What was that?! Oh, my god! Elena, are you okay?"
Elena: "It's okay. I'm fine."
Bonnie: "It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere."
Elena: "Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life."
Bonnie: " I predict this year is going to be kick ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over and you are going to be beyond happy."
Bonnie: "Major lack of male real estate. Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beech. She looks like a hot — can I still say "tranny mess"?"
Elena: "No, that's over."
Bonnie: "Ahh, find a man, coin a phrase. It's a busy year."
Elena: "He hates me."
Bonnie: "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: "Hold up. Who's this?"
Elena: "All I see is back."
Bonnie: " It's a hot back."
Bonnie: "I'm sensing Seattle, and he plays the guitar."
Elena: "You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, huh?"
Bonnie: " Pretty much."
Bonnie: "Just admit it, Elena."
Elena: "Oh, okay, so he's a little pretty."
Bonnie: "He has that romance novel stare."
Bonnie: "So where is he?."
Elena: "I don't know. You tell me, you're the psychic one."
Bonnie: "Right, I forgot. Okay, so give me a sec. Grams says I have to concentrate."
Elena: "Wait, you need a crystal ball. What?"
Bonnie: "That was weird. When I touched you, I saw a crow."
Elena: "What?"
Bonnie: "A crow. There was fog, a man. I'm drunk. It's the drinking. There's nothing psychic about it. Yeah? Ok, I'm gonna get a refill."
Bonnie: "Hey. We're gonna go to Mainline Coffee, wait for news."
Elena: "I gotta take Jeremy home."
Bonnie: " Elena, there's no way I'm psychic. I know that. But whatever I saw, or I think I saw, I have this feeling..."
Elena: "Bonnie, what?"
Bonnie: "That it's just the beginning."
- Pilot

Bonnie: "He didn't call, huh?"
Elena: "Or text. But I realized we never even exchanged that stuff. We've never gotten to the texting part."
Bonnie: "That's an important milestone in any relationship."
Elena: "Isn't it? The timing is wrong, anyway."
Bonnie: "When is it ever right?"
Elena: "I'm not ready, Bonnie."
Bonnie: "Who is?"

Bonnie: "Is that what you're calling it?"
Elena: "What do you mean?"
Bonnie: "All I'm hearing is reasons why you can't."
- The Night of the Comet

Bonnie: "I'm not saying don't date the guy. I'm just saying take it slow."
Elena: "You were the one who said to go for it."
Bonnie: "Now I'm saying take it slow."
Elena: "Why the about-face?"
Bonnie: "It's not an about-face. You're single for the first time in your entire high school career. It's the perfect time to play the field."
Elena: "Oh, because I'm so that girl. Seriously, what are you not saying?"
Bonnie: "It's stupid."
Elena: "Bonnie..."

Elena: "Spit it out."
Bonnie: "I accidentally touched Stefan. And I got a really bad feeling."
Elena: "Is that it? Bonnie."
Bonnie: "It was bad bad!"
Elena: "Is this the whole witch mojo thing again?"
Bonnie: "You know what? I'm just concerned. This is me expressing concern about my best friend's new boyfriend."
Elena: "And I love you for it, I do. But I feel good. It's been a hard year, and I'm starting to kind of feel like things are getting back to normal again. And you know what? Stefan is a big part of that."
Bonnie: "Oh, my God! You're here!"
Elena: "Yep. I can't be sad girl forever. The only way to get things back to the way they were are to do things that were. Oh, and you're coming to dinner tonight."
Bonnie: "I am?"
Elena: "Mm-hmm. You, me and Stefan. You have to give him a chance."
Bonnie: "Tonight's no good. Have you seen Caroline? I texted her like a hundred times."
Elena: "Don't change the subject, Bonnie Bennett! You're going to be there."
Bonnie: "Fine. I'll go."
Elena: "Good."
Bonnie: "Seriously, where is Caroline?"
Elena: "I don't know. It's not like her."
Bonnie: "I'll try her again."
Elena: "Uh..."
Bonnie: "Oh, my God. That must be the mystery guy from the grill."
Elena: "That's not a mystery guy. That's Damon Salvatore."
Bonnie: "Salvatore, as in Stefan?!"
Bonnie: "You explain it. Last night, I'm watching Nine-o, a commercial breaks come on and I'm like, I bet it's that phone commercial. And sure enough, it's that guy and the girl with the bench, he flies to Paris and he flies back. They take a picture."
Elena: "Oh, come on. That commercial's on a constant loop."
Bonnie: "Fine. Well, how about this? Today I'm obsessed with numbers. 3 numbers. I keep seeing 8, 14, and 22. How weird is that?"
Elena: "Maybe we should play the lottery. Have you talked to your Grams?"
Bonnie: "She's just gonna say it's because I'm a witch. I don't want to be a witch. Do you want to be a witch?"
Elena: "I don't want to be a witch."
Bonnie: "And putting it in a nice bowl isn't fooling anybody."
Elena: "Ok, serving spoons. Where are the serving spoons?"
Bonnie: "Middle drawer on your left."
Elena: "Ok, so you've been in this kitchen like a thousand times."
Bonnie: "Yeah, that's it."
Elena: "Can I ask you a question and you give me a really serious no-joke response?"
Bonnie: "Of course. What is it?"
Elena: "The bad mojo. When you touched Stefan and you had that reaction..."
Bonnie: "You know what, forget I said that. Your little dinner party plot totally won me over."
Elena: "No, Bonnie, seriously. What was it? Did you see something, Or..."
Bonnie: "It wasn't clear like a picture. Like today, I keep seeing those same numbers I told you about...8, 14, 22."
Elena: "Yeah?"
Bonnie: "When I touched Stefan, it was a feeling. And it vibrated through me, and it was cold, and it..."
Elena: "And what?"
Bonnie: "It was death. It's what I imagine death to be like."

Bonnie: "Delicate flower vs. naughty vixen."

Elena: "I am...ish. Tonight's going to be a good night. But don't let that stop you from telling me whatever it is you wanted to tell me as soon as you walked in the door."
Bonnie: "What if I tell you in the morning? I don't want to ruin the night."
Elena: "Bonnie, out with it."
Bonnie: "Okay, but it has to go in the vault, because Caroline will kill me if it gets back to Damon that she squealed. Apparently Stefan has a very interesting back story."
Elena: "Uh-huh."
Bonnie: "Do you know what happened with his ex-girlfriend Katherine?"
Elena: "I know that they both dated her and that's why they have issues."
Bonnie: "Yeah, they both dated her, only she chose Damon. And that drove Stefan mad, so he did horrible things to try and break them up. He manipulated Katherine. He filled her head with all these lies until finally it worked, and she turned against Damon."
Elena: "That sounds like one person's side of the story, meaning Damon's."
Bonnie: "I just wanted you to know."
Elena: "Anyway, his past relationships are none of my business."
Bonnie: "Unless he's a calculating, manipulative liar. That is your business."
Elena: "Stefan is none of those things."
Bonnie: "Yeah? How do you know?"

Bonnie: "Move over.(Bonnie lies next to Elena)I'm officially worried. What's going on?"
Elena: "I'm tired of thinking...of talking I..."
Bonnie: "Can I get a one-line version so I can at least pretend to be helpful?"
Elena: "Stefan and I broke up."
Bonnie: "I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Right stupid question. I know I've been kind of MIA when you need me the most. I suck."
Elena: "You wanna make it up to me. Get my mind off of it."
Bonnie: "Just remember you asked for it."(Bonnie closes the window and grabs one of Elena's pillows. She rips it and empties it of the feathers.)
Elena: "Hey!"
Bonnie: "Be patient."
Elena: "Okay."
Bonnie: "I need to swear you to secrecy."
Elena: "It's kind of a bad week for that kind of stuff."

Elena: "Okay, I swear."
Bonnie: "There's no windows open, right?"
Elena: "Right."
Bonnie: "There's no fan. No air conditioning."
Elena: "None. What are you doing?"
Bonnie: "Grams just showed me this. You're gonna love it. You ready?" (Bonnie levitates a feather in front of Elena as she looks on in shock)
Elena: "Bonnie what's going on?"
Bonnie: "It's true Elena. Everything my Grams told me. It's impossible and it's true. I'm a witch."
Elena: "I believe you."
Bonnie: "It's Weird huh? After all This times joking about being psychic. I really am a witch. You don't think I'm a freak now, do you?"

Bonnie: "You're my best friend. I can't keep secrets from you."

Bonnie: "Mhm. Do you believe in ghosts?"
Elena: "Two weeks ago I'd say no, but now..."
Bonnie: "I think I'm being haunted."
Elena: "I don't get it. Why Emily?"
Bonnie: "Grams said she was a powerful witch back in the Civil War days, and that this medallion was hers. A witch's talisman."
Elena: "And it all started when you got the necklace?"
Bonnie: "I think she's using it to communicate with me."
Elena: "Okay, what does Grams say about it?"
Bonnie: "I can't call her. She's gonna tell me to embrace it. I don't want to embrace it, I want it to stop."
Bonnie: "He's bad news, Elena. He really scared me."
Elena: "You need to stay as far away from Damon as possible."
Bonnie: "I'm trying! He just keeps showing up."
Elena: "I don't want you to be alone. You're sleeping at my place tonight, we can make a whole night out of it. Whoa! Where are you going? Are you okay?"
Bonnie: "Now I am. All my problems were because of that thing. I can't believe I didn't do that sooner."
Elena: "What's your Grams gonna say?"
Bonnie: "Grams isn't the one being haunted by a hundred and fifty-year-old ghost, is she?"
Elena: "Okay, then."
Bonnie: "I don't understand, Elena, what happened to me? He attacked me, and his face was like..."
Elena: "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
Bonnie: "I'm fine. It's just this blood. I don't..."

Elena: (about Matt and Caroline) "Did I miss something?"

Elena: "Yeah, how are you doing with all that?"
Bonnie: "I'm freaked out. Damon attacked me. I could be dead right now. But I'm also grateful."
Elena: "Hmm?"
Bonnie: "To Stefan. He saved my life and...Have you seen him?"
Elena: "Not since he told me he was leaving. For all I know, he's already gone."
Bonnie: "He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye."
Elena: "Yes, he would. He thinks he's protecting me. Clean break and all that."
Bonnie: "So, what are you gonna do?"
Elena: "What am I supposed to do? I've already begged him not to go. If I ask again, I'm being selfish. It is what it is."
Bonnie: "Maybe it's for the best."
Elena: "What? Why?"
Bonnie: "I mean, what kind of future could you have had with him, even if he stayed?"
Elena: "Did you just...?"
Bonnie: "No, I swear."
- The Turning Point

Bonnie: "I can't believe you're adopted. I never saw that coming."
Elena: "And it gets weirder. I looked at my birth certificate. It lists Miranda and Grayson Gilbert as my birthparents. None of it makes any sense."
Bonnie: "Which is why you should ask Jenna. First of all, the Elena I know would always want the real truth, good or bad."
Elena: "And second of all?"

Elena: "Ah, ok, look, I have to go to the store. My outfit for the dance is severely lacking accessories."

Bonnie: "I'm so stupid!"
Elena: "No, he had all of us fooled!"
Bonnie: "What's going on? Why are we here?"
Elena: "It must have something to do with the tomb and Emily's spell book."
Bonnie: "Spell book?"
Elena: "Damon said it could be used to open the tomb."
Bonnie: "Why didn't I know about any of this?"
Elena: "I was trying to keep you out of it, hoping it would never come to this."
Bonnie: "Come to what?"

Elena: "I hope that you understand why I called...I wanted you to know before you came home."
Bonnie: "I understand why. I just...shouldn't know."
Elena: "Bonnie, do you have a minute?"
Bonnie: "We only have 30 minutes for rehearsal."
Elena: "It'll only take a minute, please? Bonnie, you have to tell me what's wrong."
Bonnie: "It not worth talking about."
Elena: "What do you mean not worth it? You barely said ten words to me and you won't even look at Stefan. Is that what it is? Is it Stefan?"
Bonnie: "Listen, Elena, I can't just pretend that everything's okay. Everything my Grams did was to protect us from those vampires in the tomb. And now they're out which means she died for nothing."
Elena: "I'm so sorry Bonnie. What can I do to make it better?"
Bonnie: "That's just it, there's nothing you can do. I blame him, Elena, him and Damon and I'm not gonna put you in a situation where you have to choose sides. I'm just having a hard time with it, okay?"

Bonnie: "Hey. I couldn't sleep last night. You were obviously upset about something and I just walked away. It's not me. That can't be us. You're my friend, Elena. If you need me I'm here for you and I'm sorry I couldn't show you that yesterday."
Elena: "I met my birth mother."
Bonnie: "Oh. Was it...Are you okay?"
Bonnie: "Hey! Thanks for meeting me. I wanted you to see this."
Elena: "Is that Emily's spell book?"
Bonnie: "I've been going through it since Grams died. Check this out."
Elena: "That's the vampire compass."
Bonnie: "Yeah, according to Emily, Johnathan Gilbert never actually succeeded in inventing anything. Emily secretly spelled them all with magic. Compass, rings and the mystery device you told me about."
Elena: "Yeah that's it. Well, a part of it. Damon only has the one piece."
Bonnie: "Emily pledged her loyalty to Katherine. But she couldn't stand by and watch innocent people get killed. This was the only way she could think of to help. To let Johnathan Gilbert believe that he'd actually invented these devices."
Elena: "Does it say what it does?"
Bonnie: "Are you sure this is what Isobel wants?"
Elena: "Yeah, I'm sure. Why?"
Bonnie: "This is a weapon. Against vampires."
- Isobel

Bonnie: "Elena, you can't go in there!"
Elena: "Bonnie, what are you doing?"
Bonnie: "I'm sorry I lied to you."
- Founder's Day

Elena: "Bonnie. How's Caroline?"
Bonnie: "She's weak. They don't know if she's going to make it."
Elena: "What? Is there something that you can do? Like a spell or something?"
Elena::"Hello?"
Bonnie: "Elena? Where are you?"
Elena: "Bonnie, I know I'm late. I'm getting in the car now. I'll be there in five."
- The Return

Bonnie: "Katherine looked just like you, it was freakish."
Elena: "She is my ancestor. Hey, I moved the student booth into the cafeteria."
Bonnie: "Your vampire ancestor and she didn't just resemble you like a family member would. She was you."
Elena: "I don't know, I can't explain it. It's creepy, that's all I got."
Bonnie: "How do you know she's not still out there pretending to be you?"
Elena: "I don't but I could sit here and be tortured by the not-knowing or I could get these prizes to the ring toss."
Bonnie: "Have you talk to Damon since he killed Jeremy or tried to kill Jeremy?"
Elena: "No Bonnie, I haven't and I won't and I don't want to talk about Damon or anything else that's vampire related okay? I'm human. And I have to do human stuff. Otherwise, I'm going to go crazy."
Bonnie: "Okay, I'm sorry, I'll focus. We have to make Caroline proud or she will kill us. I don't know how she does all of this."
Elena: "Well because she's not human, obviously."
Bonnie: "The ring toss is out of Bart and Homer dolls and Team Jacob T's."
Elena: "Okay, I can grab some from the science club. Also we lost a speaker in the karaoke room."
Bonnie: "Hey, all good Elena, take a beat, look around. This is a huge success."
Elena: "You mean I can do more than just freak vampire havoc?"
Bonnie: "Go figure."
Elena: "Bonnie, it wasn't his fault."
Bonnie: "Everything that happens is his fault Elena."
Elena: "Bonnie, what are you doing? Bonnie stop it! Bonnie, Bonnie, stop it! You're going to kill him! Bonnie!"
Bonnie: "Why did you stop me?!"
Elena: "Because this isn't us. Bonnie, this can't be us."
- Brave New World

Elena: "You're here."
Bonnie: "I'm here."
Elena: "Caroline's not coming. I told you."
Bonnie: "Just making sure."
Elena: "You know, eventually, you're gonna have to talk to her."
Bonnie: "Could you make it a little less obvious you're on her side?"
Elena: "There are no sides, Bonnie."
Bonnie: "Come on! Since Caroline became a vampire, we barely see each other. Losing Caroline was bad enough; I didn't think I'd lose you too."
Elena: "Come with me."
Bonnie: "Where?"
Elena: "Not here. Some place quiet. We have to talk."
Bonnie: "I can't believe this."
Elena: "It's a lot, I know. Katherine's doing everything that she can to drive me and Stefan apart and Caroline just got trapped in the middle."
Bonnie: "It's not that you and Stefan are pretending to fight. It's that I didn't even know you guys were fighting at all."
Elena: " I'm sorry, I don't want to keep things from you but you've made it pretty clear where you stand with the whole vampire thing."
Bonnie: "So that makes me the odd man out."
Elena: "No - no, Bonnie, of course not."
Bonnie: "I know where I stand, Elena. And I know where you stand. But where do we stand?"
Elena: "You're my best friend, Bonnie. I didn't mean to let this craziness with Caroline get in the way of that. But, she needs you too."
Bonnie: "Not yet, I just...she's a vampire, I can't. I think we should get back."
- Plan B

Elena: "Okay, stop with the "we", are you guys crazy? You're gonna get yourselves killed."
Bonnie: "We know what we're doing, Elena."
Elena: "And how am I supposed to feel if one of you guys gets hurt because of me?"
Elena: "Bonnie, it hurts."
Bonnie: "I can't break the spell, Elena. I'm sorry but I can try to take some of the pain away. Okay? Okay?"
- Masquerade

Elena: "Now that you've got this back, what are you gonna do with it?"
Bonnie: "Right now, it's what is binding the Sun and the Moon Curse. If I can figure out a way to remove the spell from the stone, the stone becomes useless."
Elena: "And according to Katherine, Klaus becomes vengeful."
Bonnie: "Maybe. If he finds out."
Elena: "Bonnie, can't this wait? Stefan is stuck in the tomb with Katherine. We've got to get him out."
Bonnie: "Stefan wants me to focus on this."
Elena: "Don't listen to him. He thinks that he's protecting me, but he's wrong."
Bonnie: " I'm taking Stefan's side with this one. We're not gonna let you get used in some creepy sacrifice ritual."
Bonnie: "Where are you going?"
Elena: "Um, to see Stefan."
Bonnie: "You're lying."
Elena: "No, I'm not."
Bonnie: "Really? Tell your face."
Elena: "Are you serious?"
[[Jeremy Gilbert|]]: (to Bonnie about Elena) "She took the moonstone."
Elena: "How did you...?"
Bonnie: "We tested you, and you failed."
Elena: "Klaus killed Katherine's entire family just because she crossed him. I can't let that happen."
Elena: "What did you do?"
Bonnie: "It's for the best, Elena."
- By the Light of the Moon

Elena: "Do you believe that Jonas is being sincere?"
Bonnie: "I don't know what to believe. I think he's at a loss. He's not sure who to trust."
Elena: "Join the club."
Elena: "I...I wouldn't. Caroline and Matt are..."
Bonnie: "In the bathroom?!"
Elena: "If they're happy, I'm happy."
Bonnie: "Um, hey, speaking of happy, would it freak you out if I started dating your brother?"
Elena: "You're into my brother?"
Bonnie: "I know it's weird, but he's been so good and strong. He makes me happy and I really can't tell what you're thinking...Right now."
Elena: "I'm thinking that...My brother has had more pain in his life than a hundred people's worth of pain, and...He deserves to be with someone as amazing as you."
Bonnie: "Really?"
Elena: "Really."
- The House Guest

Bonnie: "So this place is all yours? They just gave it to you?"
Elena: " For now. As sole owner, I'm the only one who can invite a certain type of person in here, if you know what I mean."
Bonnie: "Your own personal safe house."
Elena: "That's the idea."
Bonnie: "Wouldn't want to clean it."
Elena: "How could you not tell me?"
Bonnie: "'Cause I knew how'd you react."
Elena: "No. No way, it's not an option."
Bonnie: "It's our only option."
Elena: "Then we'll find another way, okay? Bonnie, you're not dying to save my life."
Bonnie: "I have the power to save you! If I don't use it and something happens, that would kill me more."
Elena: "I can't let you."
Bonnie: "Just answer one question...if the situation was reversed, would you do it for me? So you know why I have to."
Elena: " No. No!"
Elena: "Bonnie!"
Bonnie: "Elena, Elena, I'm so sorry."
Elena: "It's okay, it's okay. I just needed to see you for myself."
Bonnie: "There wasn't enough time for me to tell you."
Elena: "It's okay, seriously. Damon explained it all."
- The Last Dance
