The next morning arrives as I wake up to the sound of birds chirping outside my bedroom window makinn me sit up in bed gently rubbing the sleep away from my eyes before getting up out of bed making my way over to my bathroom to shower and get ready for the day ahead of me. Shortly after I finish showering I hop out of the tub quickly drying myself off before making my way back into my bedroom to get dressed.

Once I finish getting dressed I head downstairs and into the dining room taking a seat at the kitchen counter "hey, what's up? You doing okay?" Elena asked as she took notice of the expression on my face "yeah, I just...I don't know. Should I being doing this? I mean the Miss Mystic Pageant was always you and mom's thing." I said "yes, you should because you'll look beautiful and it's time for you to get back to your old self again Lola. So, what do you say." Elena said as she bumped my shoulder lightly "ugh, okay but, I don't even have a date much less an escort for the dance." I whined "I think I can arrange that." She giggled "should I be worried?" I quipped as she giggled at me.

Once we arrive at the Lockwood's mansion I make my way upstairs with Elena following closely behind me as I head into the changing room getting dressed and putting my shoes on before heading back into the makeup room to fix my hair and apply a little bit of lip gloss on "thanks for this Lena." I said as she continued curling the ends of my hair as I looked at her through the mirror "no problem. That's what big sisters are for, right." She smiled as I giggled at her "I used to love seeing you and mom do this when I was a kid. I always thought you looked like a princess." I muttered as she smiled at me.
"And you are all done." She said as I looked at it in the mirror with awe "it's perfect. Thank you." I said as she nodded at me pulling me into a tight hug before I headed out waiting in the stairway for my name to be called "Charlie, it's your turn." Mrs. Lockwood said as I nodded at her "Miss Charlotte Gilbert escorted by Mr Stefan Salvatore." Mr. Lockwood said as I slowly made my way down the stairs glancing around not seeing Stefan anywhere making me look down at the ground in embarrassment before looking back up seeing Damon holding his hand out to me.

"Where's Stefan?" I asked him as we made our way to the courtyard "I don't know." He whispered as we stood in front of each other preforming the traditional dance for this pagent as I look up at him with a smile on my face "thanks for stepping in." I whispered as he nodded at me "my pleasure madam. You look beautiful by the way Lia." He whispered making me smile at him feeling a slight blush creep it's way onto my cheeks as I looked at him.
