Tricks and Truth's

ABNL

Katherine awoke bright and early and shot up like a rocket. She put on a black top that was loose with beading and embroidery on the neckline. She threw on some black leather skinny jeans and ankle high boots. She didn't forget her daylight necklace luckily. She brushed out her curly hair and re-curled it. She then tackled her sleeping twin.

"Lena! Wake up!" Katherine said happily. Elena groaned angrily but exasperatedly shot up.

"I'm up! I'm up!" Elena said angrily. Elena walked into the bathroom and came out with a pair of blue jeans and a green long sleeved shirt with a V neckline and buttons on it. She also wore her black tennis shoes. When Elena came out she saw breakfast. She saw a plate of waffle's and scrambled eggs accompanied by a glass of blood.

"Thanks." Elena muttered. She gobbled up her breakfast and stood up to leave.

"Hayley! Clean the house while we are gone! And set Elena up a room! Switch my black curtains to purple and make Elena's curtains…. Pink. Make a color scheme for the rooms and match purple and pink in there." Katherine called out before she and Elena left for the Mikealson mansion.

The car ride was mostly silent. The only sound being the radio and their mindless chatter. They pulled up to the Mikealson mansion and without knocking walked in. Katherine Called Kol's name while Elena called for Klaus. Instead of seeing the one's they were looking for they saw Elijah.

"Elijah." Elena greeted.

"Where's Kol. I can NOT be seen with a carbon copy so I am taking Elena shopping. I would probably die before I carried my own bags. Where is he?" Katherine asked innocently.

"I believe my brother is in his room. It was… lovely seeing you, Katerina." Elijah said, kissing her hand lightly. She smiled warmly before taking her hand and breaking his gaze. She took Elena's hand and pulled her upstairs. When she got there Elena branched off in search of Klaus and Katherine walked in. Kol was lying in his bed, sleeping like a baby. Katherine smirked. Elijah had followed her upstairs.

"Katerina, what are you doing?" Elijah asked curiously.

"Waking your baby bro up." Katherine said. Elijah just shook his head smiling. Katherine walked into Kol's room and began shouting. Kol shot up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her smirking.

"What is god's name are you doing! Its bloody 6:00 am!" Kol complained, sitting back on his bed.

"That's what your clock says, Kol. It's 1:00 pm." Katherine said dryly, pulling the curtains open. Kol groaned at the light.

"Ah! The light!" Kol complained. When Katherine made no move of closing them he sighed.

"What do you want then?" Kol groaned.

"Ugh! I texted you like…all night last night. And all morning! We are going…. Shopping!" Katherine squealed. Kol frowned and groaned in annoyance. Elijah had headed back downstairs after this.

"Why me?" He whimpered, looking up.

"Up! Up! Up!" Katherine said, pulling him out of bed. She walked to his closet and inspected his clothes before pulling out a black Henley that hugged his muscles, jeans, and a pair of boots. She laid it on the bed before walking out.

15 minutes later Kol was dressed and the three were walking out to the car. They drove for a couple hours till they reached Charlotte, North Carolina mall.

"Alright. Look for anything I might wear." Katherine said the three spread out into the mall and within the hour Elena came back with a bunch of clothes, only to be met with Katherine and Kol who had completely different ideas.

"What are THOSE?" Katherine screeched in Elena's direction. Elena flinched a bit but looked sad.

"They are pretty…." Elena said sadly.

"No. no. No. we don't want you looking like me so we picked out pretty colors but THIS! Is this a long sleeved shirt? What are you? The poster child for nuns?" Katherine scolded. Elena swallowed. In Katherine's hands were designer clothes. Colors with bright pinks, lavenders, baby blue, light green, white, grey, dresses, tank tops, cardigans, shorts, and boots and heels. Elena set her findings on the bench and their next shop was the hair salon. They decided Katherine would manage Elena's hair and Kol would scour for more clothing.

The three met up in a store an hour had a streak of red hair and her hair was in luscious waves. Kol took no notice, sadly. "So…. We need to have some fun." Katherine said. Elena looked confused but Katherine and Kol gave her a look. "Some REAL fun." Katherine said bluntly. Elena nodded, looking away to sift though clothes.

"How about we... umm…."Kol stuttered.

"I've got it!" Katherine shouted. Elena came out with a dress and belt. She was feeling around the dress for something wrong when she shouted.

"OW!"Elena and Katherine shouted simultaneously. Their eyes widened.

"What was that? We are vampires. We don't GET special abilities." Katherine said, swallowing. Kol looked at them observantly.

"You're magic must be so strong even in death it stays. That happens on occasion… those are called heretics but they are siphoners. You're magic must just have that touch…." Kol said.

"Let's just… see what we can do? We weren't touching… I don't get it!" Elena exclaimed.

"You're right…."Katherine said. She looked at the thin air and an outfit came flying at her.

"That is exactly what I wanted! Yay! Solo magic!"Katherine cheered.

"Wait! Idea. Now we can do it to. This idea requires stealth. Stealth only you possess." Kol said, smirking.

The next three hours passed.. Elena had ten shopping bags. Since the day was about Elena Katherine only had three bags, and Kol had two. They strapped their shopping bags to the roof rack and went on their merry way home. Since it was Katherine's car they dropped Kol off first. The three went inside the Mikealson mansion.

"Nik!" Elena called. Klaus was in front of them looking at Elena curiously. He took a strand of her hair between his fingers and glanced back at her.

"Your hair…." He stuttered.

"Yes, yes. I know. It's red. Kat made me do it. Supposedly we don't look different enough." Elena laughed lightly.

"Klaus! We have ten more movies to watch in only three hours-"Caroline screamed, coming into view. When she saw them she freaked.

"Elena! Katherine! It's not what it looks like! He…. He was PHONE stalking me! And then my mom invited him in and he was real stocking me and…..and….. I agreed I would hang out with him….. Because you're his friend….." Caroline said nervously.

"Care. It's ok." Elena said. Caroline nodded, silently excusing herself. She went back to the movie room to wait.

"Well, we better get going. Not good to keep Care waiting and all…" Elena said. Klaus nodded and Klaus, Katherine, Elena, and Kol all went out to the car. Klaus's eyes widened at the load and they waved goodbye.

"Kol! We still on for movie night next week?" Katherine shouted.

"Sure!" Kol said.

"KK! See you tomorrow!"Katherine shouted. Kol looked puzzled, but sighed and walked away, Klaus in tow.

Hey! So… no reviews yet? What am I doing wrong? What are you're thoughts on the pace of the ships….. To slow… to fast. I figured that Elena and Katherine needed friends other than the mystic falls gang so what do you think of the Klaus/Elena friendship. Rebekah/Elena friendship? Kol/Katherine friendship. I decided not to add Elena and Elijah being friends because he has a thing for doppelgangers and them hooking up is inevitable and Katherine is merciless and unforgiving so…. please review! Happy Birthday!
