Plotting and schemes

ABNL

Elena walked in to the café that Katherine told her to meet in. she had to admit, she was a bit nervous but it wasn't too extreme. She looked around and saw Katherine sitting in a chair at a table.

"Hey. Nice show last night. I was Caroline's +1." Elena explained.

"Hey, yah thanks. So, did you bring the birth certificate?" Katherine asked, gesturing to hers.

"Umm… yah, I stayed up practically all night searching for it!" Elena answered, reaching for her purse and pulling a file out.

"Good. Oh, sorry! This is Harold. He will be the investigator." Katherine explained

"Okay?" Elena stuttered out confused as she handed a copy of her birth certificate to Katherine's private investigator. Once he left, Katherine and Elena walked out of the café

"So… What do we do in the mean time? I sure hope I didn't come here for any reason other than a dumb certificate." Elena said hopefully

"I was hoping you would say that. We are going…. SHOPPING! On me!" Katherine said excitedly

"Just please, let me help you with your clothes next time." Katherine said sadly as she gestured to Elena's somewhat baggy jeans, sneakers, jacket, and straight hair.

"Ok. I don't look that bad." Elena said as she and Katherine walked toward the store with their arms crossed over the others.

'Honey don't kid yourself. you look like something went terribly wrong during the making of your sense of style.' Katherine thought.

"i do NOT! I just happen to enjoy comfortable clothes." Elena defended herself. But was confused when Katherine's brow wrinkled in confusion and her face contorted.

"I didn't say anything yet… How did you hear that?" Katherine asked confused.

"I don't know… Maybe you're mistaken and you did say it!" Elena said as Katherine's face returned to its beauty and she nodded in agreements they walked into the store. The store was large, larger than any Elena's seen in Mystic Falls and it was in a dark light. It was full of all of these clothes that were just so… Katherine! They fit her personality perfectly. Elena didn't know what she was getting into obviously.

"Um… Katherine? Where are we?" Elena asked as she nervously walked into the store.

"We are in my favorite store." Katherine said casually as she started picking through the racks. Elena tapped her shoulder and showed her a few shirts and pants.

"Elena. If your shopping for sleep clothing you've succeeded. but we are not so put those away. or burn them." Katherine said harshly.

"Thank you so much!" Elena said dryly. The two kept shopping. Elena would pick something out and Katherine would growl, or snort, or laugh, or shake her head. eventually Elena started getting the hang of it. her clothes weren't to Katherine but they were a huge step up from Elena.

"Okay so let's purchase." Katherine said as they were carrying large piles of clothing.

"Agreed" Elena said exasperated. They had shopped for ten hours and it was past dinner time. As they were walking to Katherine's limo to get a ride home Katherine stopped.

"Hey! How about we take these back to my place and we can have low fat Fro Yo and a slumber party!" Katherine suggested, hoping not to be shut down.

"Sure! Lead the way. I live alone but my family- I mean aunt and Brother Visit periodically. I don't have any college classes tomorrow so I am free!" Elena explained as the girls got into the limo and started smiling at the idea of family.

"I live alone in a 3 bedrooms, kitchen and living room with bathrooms and walk in closets connected to each bed room. My parents got it for graduating college. I was going to go for lawyer and we were saving and all but I only got a bachelor majoring in fashion, minor in art. We had left over's." Katherine explained.

"Of course they were furious but they got over it once I told them I would pay for their retirement. They are suckers for anything shiny. They remind me of cats and lasers." Katherine said as both girls giggled at the thought.

"So, if we are… you know which we probably are, what are we going to do about our families and friends!?" Elena asked in a pleading tone.

"Umm? The truth? That our parents are little liars and we give them a sob story, they get angry, they get over it, we go back to living…" Katherine explained.

"Sounds easy." Elena shrugged.

"Hey I meant to ask… where do you go to college." Katherine smiled

"Mystic community." Elena answered.

"Wow what a coincidence. That's like…a few places down from the apartments I live in! I walk by there every day on my morning walks!" Katherine said excitedly.

"Wow! So sleep over's on school nights are ok then?" Elena joked. As they started to the elevator of Katherine's floor.

"Any time!" Katherine said as she started grabbing all of her ice cream.

"I didn't think celebrities were like… allowed to eat ice cream?" Elena asked

"Screw the people who made that rule. I'm a Pierce and I want what I want when I want it!" Katherine said determined.

"Okay, no need for claws Kat!" Elena said sarcastically.

"Yah. Have you ever wanted to be a celebrity?" Katherine asked innocently, changing the subject as she and Elena sat down.

"no, not really. im not one for the spot light but i am an author so i guess there will be a bit of celebrity in it..." Elena said happily.

"I'm sorry just a second!" Katherine apologized as she turned around.

"SLUT! This is my house! Don't bring your boy friends here! Now do what you do best and go make the beds! We need two so move a spare king to my room! Now!" Katherine yelled as Hayley started on the task at hand. someone ran out of the house quickly, only sparing a quick wave.

"Oh my gosh! Why don't you fire that slut? Seriously? Bringing guests to YOUR house!" Elena asked furiously.

"Now who's the cat?" Katherine teased in a mocking voice

"I would fire her but it's harder to find assistants who are good at their jobs and don't quit." Katherine said casually.

"And I love fighting with her and telling her what to do! You would to trust me" Katherine said quietly as she pulled Elena up and they walked around to Katherine's closet. Katherine instantly pulled out two cute night gowns, a red and a black and started changing, along with Elena.

"Yah, that sounds surprisingly refreshing. You have no idea how it is to have to be NICE all the time it's infuriating." Elena said.

"IDEA! Why don't we switch place for a little! I go to school, you go to meetings, and we do our own work at home activities! You may have the Petrova fire but in fashion you're no Katherine pierce just yet" Katherine said matter-of-factly

"Okay. So tomorrow night you go to my place and I stay! Then we can live each other's lives for a few weeks." Elena said enthusiastically.

"Yay! I can't wait. Let's do nails while I explain my life! You get red I get purple!" Katherine cheered.

"Okay, well, my life first! You know my blonde friend Caroline. She's really perky. It might get annoying but just be nice." Elena said happily.

"Then there's Bonnie. She's really judgmental and acts like a mom but i love her all the same. and since caroline never judges it's good to have some constructive critism. She's dating my little brother Jeremy. Then there's Jenna. She has orange hair. There's also Matt and Tyler. Matt has blonde hair and blue eyes and Tyler has brown eyes and anger issues." Elena finally finished

"Well you just have no enemies!" Katherine said sarcastically as Elena thought and finally shook her head.

"Not really, no." Elena said.

"Well. I do so. There's Model Damon Salvatore who happens to hang out in these parts. I can't stand him. Then there's sluttly Hayley, mom who works to much, good ol' step dad Alaric, and a bunch of designers I'll fill ya in on later." Katherine said with a smug look.

"What no friends?" Elena asked with a raised eyebrow. Katherine's face turned to a frown and she shook her head.

"No time, plus if you didn't know I'm not that kind." Katherine said as Elena hugged her. The girls passed out a little later on the comfy Katherine beds.

Elena woke up very confused as to where she was or what she was doing. She looked at the clock which said 11:30 am and saw Katherine. A wave of relief went through her when she remembered where she was and quickly jumped up to wake up Katherine

"Katherine! Kat! Wakey Wakey!" Elena said, bouncing on Katherine's bed like a three year old.

"Uggg! Five more minutes!" Katherine grumbled sleepily as she pulled the pillow over her face.

"NO! Wake up, please! What if Harold called but you didn't answer!" Elena pleaded.

"First rule to being me. You don't wake up for ANYBODY! You elude wake up time as much as possible. Until Hayley starts to yell, or cry, or anything of the sort." Katherine explained, a smirk only growing as she talked about Hayley.

"Okay! Now, show me your favorite clothes and shoes so we can be each other! I dress comfy so you CAN dress nicer just keep it subtle..." Elena asked.

"Okay, let me check my phone in case Harold calls!" Katherine said. She looked at her phone and held it to her ear.

"Hello! Harold hi! It's Kat! I was just wondering if you found anything. Meet at 1:30 pm? Great, bye!" Katherine ended her call

"We have a date sis!" Katherine called to Elena who had hopped into the bathroom to change.

"KK! Be out soon!" Elena responded, walking out in a totally Katherine outfit.

"Alright Lena, you should know I love my clothes like a child. I am letting you borrow them from here on out and even when we go back to our lives you my borrow my clothes. So long as you RETURN them." Katherine said, sitting down and holding Elena's hands.

"Okay, I will! You won't even see a micro particle out of place!" Elena said.

"Good! And…. As you can see, I take care of my clothes to!" Katherine said happily

"Hey, speaking of our stuff… I was wondering…. Damon is just so hot…. I'm so single…. Please!" Elena begged.

"Only if he's nice. You will definitely find him repulsive but… just because of the family thing I will let it slide!" Katherine said with a smirk.

"Thanks! good luck!" Elena said, waving goodbye to Katherine as Katherine went to Elena's home and Elena plopped in a bubble bath.

"Oh this IS the life!" Elena said happily.

Hey! Sorry this chapter is sooo long! I know it was mostly fluff and fun but I liked their bonding! Next chapter Katherine gets to be Elena! I am really scared for her. It's like going from castles, crowns, and balls to peasant life as a princess! So sometime in the next few chapters I will be adding a few things like…. Supernatural to the twin's life! You will know its coming because it will be somewhat canon. Either way I hope it will be ok. I am going to be busy to write but I will when I can. I want to upgrade these chapters but I also want to keep my main story rolling! The poll will probably be sometime next week so I will let you know!
