Break out yo' dancing shoes because it's almost party time in Mystic Falls! And we all know how well parties go over in that town.

The Vampire Diaries season three premiere is finally upon us and they're coming back the only way they know how: by throwing a party! Elena's (Nina Dobrev) 18th birthday party, to be exact.

It just so happens that we've got some exclusive behind-the-scenes pictures of the kind of attractive cast prepping for the fiesta to share with you guys (including an adorable shot of two fan favorites fist bumping)! Oh, and did we mention we're throwing some scoop your way, too?

If you guessed that Ian Somerhalder and Matt Davis (aka Damon and Alaric aka one of  TV's most awesome and unconvential bromances ever) were the co-stars going knuckle to knuckle before a scene, you were right! Congratulations! You win nothing except our respect and admiration, which is truly priceless.

Want some info on your favorite TVD characters in season three? Check out our full gallery of the brand new TVD photos, including a very serious Michael Trevino, the always-cute Candice Accola and another look inside Stefan's (Paul Wesley) bedroom as Nina goes over her lines.

And don't you dare miss the season premiere of The Vampire Diaries Thursday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. on The CW.
