"WE ARE HAVING A BALL." Rebekah spoke as the two walk. Cora purses her lips with a slight smile. "I've found myself a date. The gentleman Aaron Wollard." She spoke and Cora immediately recognizes the name to be of a wealthy man. "I expect you to be there."

Cora hadn't packed much gowns but figured she'll be able to find something in her bag..right? "Well, it really depends on the dance." She chuckles softly. "I can do a waltz, nothing else."

Rebekah considers it. For the first time, she enjoyed a humans company because Cora seemed to understand. She listened and understood, if she didn't understand, she would try to. It seems like Cora was too good to be true. Of course, Rebekah knew the girl would eventually grow old and sos he was considering on turning the girl to one of them.

"Hm. I was thinking tango but waltz it is." Rebekah sends her a warm smile that the human gladly returns. "Come to my house at five P.M. sharp, bring your gown and leave everything else to me." She smiles cheekily at the girl before walking away.

Cora bites her lip before lifting the ends of her gown and hurrying home. She wanted to make sure she had a beautiful gown. Rebekah and her family were knowingly wealthy, she didn't want to show up in a gown that would make her look like she had just picked up and put on. The thought made her shake her head.

When she makes it home, she sees Maximus making her smile. She wanted to take care of him. She looks at her pocket watch and it's still 10 A.M. in the morning which gave her time. She hurries in her house, slips on her nightgown then goes to the barn.

Cora begins removing, changing and cleaning his shoes, she was removing the dirty around the hoof using a hoof pick, but of course, being careful since in the middle part, it was most sensitive. She cleans everything up quickly then when she looks up, she wipes the sweat before setting his foot down. She looks at Maximus.

After finishing, she was about to walk on her house when she notices a box on the ground. Her head tilts to the side and she picks up the box before entering her house, closing the door with her feet. She walks inside to her bedroom and opens the box to see a large gown and diamond necklace with a letter.

Save me a dance?
- Klaus

Her eyebrows shoot up as heat rushes to her cheeks. She smiles lightly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She pulls out the gown and her jaw drops, eyebrows shooting up. Sure, I'm Mystic Falls she was wealthy but this gown could cost a fortune, not to mention the beautiful diamond necklace that made her gape at it.

With the beautiful new gown, she felt excited. She wasn't sure if Klaus was her date but, at least she would have someone to dance with. And, almost everyone in town knew she didn't like wearing corsets, so, Klaus made sure the dress didn't have a corset and that made her even more relieved.

Rebekah had finished doing her makeup and hair. Cora had put on her gown, gloves, had the maids that Rebekah had gotten do her makeup and now, they're working on her hair. They put small flowers and beads to compliment her hair while leaving it in a waterfall style with curls at the bottom. The front of her hair had two strands purposely out and curled to help embellish her face.

A groan escapes Rebekahs lips when the maid does the corset a bit too tight. "Watch it." She snaps at the maiden and Cora frowns at the girl.

"Excuse me." Cora tells the maidens, smiling lightly and walking over to the maid. "May I?" She questions and the maid hesitantly steps away. Cora pulls out the strings of the corset.
