(I don't know about shiny or happy but I think this fits the silly portion, I'm sorry if this isn't what you had in mind but once I read the prompt I couldn't get this out of my mind.)
Caroline pushed the blonde hair out of her eyes and stared at Stefan. This was so not what she expected. He had to be kidding. Although her hearing was phenomenal now as a vampire; maybe she hadn't heard him right. At least that’s what she hoped.
"What are we doing here again?"
Stefan repeated the words slowly. "I'm going to teach you how to hunt."
"Hunting? As in animals?" She backed away from Stefan slowly and shook her head. "That's just....Ewwww!"
"What did you think I was talking about when I said that I would teach you how to hunt?"
"I don't know. But I didn't think you meant animals." She gave a delicate shudder. "There's no way I'm......."
"Do you remember what happened with Matt?" Stefan's voice was calm, soothing; almost as if he was speaking to a child. "Do you want to risk that again?"
Caroline bowed her head as tears glistened in her eyes and her bottom lip trembled. She hadn't meant to but he'd smelled so good. And not the fresh-out-of-the-shower-boy-next-door aroma that she had always loved, this time he'd smelled like food. "But why can't I just live on donated blood. I know it can be done because Damon can do it and you've done it."
Stefan shook his head before she had even finished speaking. "It's too risky. Until you learn how to control the blood lust, you don't want to hurt anyone. Do you?"
"Of course not." With a reluctant sigh she gave in. "Okay, teach me."
"The easiest thing to hunt for a beginner is rabbit. So if you'll just...."
"Wait. WHAT!? Rabbit? You want me to kill Thumper?"
"Thumper?"
Caroline rolled her eyes and glared at him. "You know, the cute little rabbit in the movie Bambi, the one that was always thumping his foot, hence the name?"
"Bambi?"
She could feel her teeth grind together as she clenched her jaw tight. Honestly, didn't he watch tv? "The Disney cartoon."
"Oh." He had never had the chance to watch the Disney movies, and if he was honest he had never really wanted to either. But apparently Caroline had. As gently as he could Stefan tried to reason with her. "These are wild rabbits not cartoon ones, Caroline." He shook his head as he stared back at her. "You don't have a choice. You need to drink blood to survive."
"Yeah, well there's no way I'm killing Thumper. So just forget it! You can think of something else." Without another word she turned around and began walking back to the Salvatore home.
Stefan stared at her in complete shock. He didn’t understand what hunting for food had to do with a cartoon. As he hurried after her, he wondered how she felt about deer.
