Its been a few weeks that Marley was following Katherine’s every move and it’s like that she would let be. Like that Katherine knew that Marley was following her and she didn’t care. Then a few days later, Katherine returned to Mystic falls, Marley followed her of course and she would find out what her plan was. Now, Marley was outside as everybody was preparing for Founders' Day. Carol Lockwood was supervising. “No, no, no, no, no! It's all wrong! The marching band should be in front of the Historic Society. Matt, get up on the float. Boys, I asked you to put chairs on the Founders' Float. Ladies! Time to get on the float.”

Marley walked past her as then she went to find, Stefan and Damon, she found Stefan first. “Stefan, how are you?” She asked him.

“I’m fine, thank you and you?” Stefan asked her.

Marley was up de speed and knew what Stefan had gone through and that Bonnie had ‘deactivated the devise’. “I’m fine.”

Stefan raised an eyebrow. “Are you?” he knew about that she was following Katherine. “Wait, if you are here, then…” he was interrupted.

“I’m afraid so.” Marley nodded. “But I can’t find her anywhere.”

“Damon can’t know.” Stefan told her.

“I agree.” Marley nodded. “It would give him hope to break his heart all over again.”

“You are a good friend.” Stefan told her.

“I try.” Marley smiled.

Just then, Damon walked towards them. “Look at you, all retro.”

“What are you doing here?” Stefan asked.

Damon looked at him. “Why wouldn't I be here? Bonnie deactivated the Gilbert invention, Isobel is gone and it's Founders' Day! I'm here to eat cotton candy and steal your girl.”

Marley rolled with her eyes. “Oh, Damon.”

“Don't start with me, Damon.” Stefan sighed.

“Oh, you started this Stefan with that whole ‘I'm insecure, leave Elena alone’ speech. I'm enjoying that.” Damon comment.

Stefan looked at him. “As long as you heard it.”

“What? You have no sense of humor, Stefan.” Damon mocked.

Stefan looked at him, raising an eyebrow. “Actually I've no sense of 'Damon humor'.”

“Lol.” Marley smiled.

“'Damon humor'...Hey look, I get it, I get it. I'm the better, hotter, superior choice and you're scared, now that Katherine is out of the picture, that I'm gonna turn all my attention to Elena. But don't worry, Elena is not Katherine.” Damon told him.

“You're right, she's not.” Stefan nodded.

Then, Damon and Stefan saw Elena approaching, Marley glanced between the brothers and Elena as she rolled with her eyes. In her period dress she looks strikingly like Katherine. She smiled at them and curtsies. “And she didn’t look like Katherine, huh?” Marley muttered.

Bonnie and Marley were taking pictures for Founder’s day and it was Caroline’s turn with Matt. “Say cheese!” Bonnie shouted.

Caroline looked at Matt. “Oh wait! Hide your cast, it's not era-appropriate!”

“Seriously?” Matt asked in disbelief.

“Yes!” Caroline exclaimed.

Matt sighed. “Okay, fine.”

Just then, Bonnie took the picture, Tyler arrived. “I want one with Bonnie now.” Caroline comment.
