Elena's twin sister, Ember, (younger by 12 minutes) Is the responsible, levelheaded sister. Shy and bookish, she is very close to their younger brother Jeremy. And despite what everyone else and her common sense say she can't help but love Damon Sal...
Elena and Ember are getting dressed in their civil war period costumes for the Founders' Day Parade. Elena dress was a deep gold, with tiny butterflies and leaves embroidered onto the material and a soft green sash around her waist. Embers was a dark royal blue with intricate lace overlay, sleeves and hem.
Elena puts her vervain necklaces on as Jenna helps her get into her dress. Ember is sitting in front of the vanity table adding the tiny jewel toned clips to her carefully constructed updo of braids and curls. Elena's hair has been curled and floats around her shoulders in long locks.
"Ouch, this dress hurts." El complains as Jenna laces her into the corset.
"Suck it in, baby." Jenna suggests with a smile.
Ember turns to Elena and holds out her wrist to ask her sister to fix her vervain bracelet.
"Mom would have loved this." They all share a smile and get ready to go line up for the parade.
In the parking lot outside the Highschool everybody is running around with last minute preparations and Carol Lockwood is supervising.
Stefan is standing alone, waiting for Elena when Damon arrives. Both of the Salvatore brothers are dressed up in period suits. Stefan's is a little more formal with a black suitcoat and full waistcoat and cravat in dark blue. Damon is in grayish blue, the loosely tied cravat is a warm gold and the top two buttons of his shirt have been left undone.
"Look at you, all retro." Damon mocks.
"Like you can talk." Stefan responds. "What are you doing here?"
"Why wouldn't I be here? Bonnie deactivated the Gilbert invention, Isobel is gone, it's Founders' Day, and I have a Gilbert twin to escort the same as you. I'm here to eat cotton candy and spend the day with my girl. I mean friend." He corrects with a grin.
"Don't start with me, Damon." Stefan warns.
"Oh, you started this Stefan with that whole 'My girlfriend wants you to leave Ember alone speech.' I'm just enjoying that."
"As long as you heard it." Stefan cautions.
"What? You have no sense of humor, Stefan." Damon complains.
"Actually I've no sense of 'Damon humor'." Stefan corrects.
"'Damon humor'...Hey look, I get it, I get it. I'm the better, hotter, superior choice and you and Elena are scared, now that Katherine is out of the picture, that I'm gonna turn all my attentions to Ember. But don't worry, I'm very aware that Ember is not Katherine."
"You're right, she's not." Stefan agrees.
Damon and Stefan turn and see the twins approaching. In their period dresses and from a distance where you can't notice the eye color difference both look strikingly like Katherine. Both walk up to their respective Salvatore brother and give matching smiles and curtsies.
Damon smirks. "You two practice that?" He teases while Ember reaches out to straighten his tie and do up another button.
"All morning actually. How did we do?" She asks coyly.
"Perfect." He responds and catches her hand to press a kiss to the back of it and give her a gentlemanly bow which causes her to giggle.
"Thank you for dressing up. I wasn't sure you would." She admits.
