a/n: well you all got me, here is another chapter. I'll probably wait to post another one until tomorrow since this will make three today, but hopefully I'll be able to put up a oneshot as well. Happy Reading!
Elena couldn't believe she had actually said that out loud, that she'd basically told Damon to flat out seduce her. Shaking her head and cursing herself she walked out the front door of the Grill and began walking to her car. A short feminine whistle caught her attention and she turned to see Katherine leaning against the wall, a slightly pissed off look on her face. "I thought you'd left."
"And I thought you and Damon would be going at it against the sink by now." Katherine smirked and pushed away from the wall.
"Hardly." Elena kept on walking, knowing Katherine was following her. "Shall we continue our conversation tomorrow?"
"There's no need? We don't want to waste too many days planning. I'm more of an execution kinda girl."
"And I'm more of a planning right down to the last second kinda girl." Elena unlocked the doors, sighing when Katherine got in the passenger side.
"It's that kind of thinking that's gotten you in trouble with Damon. You never let your emotions get the better of you."
If only she knew. Elena thought and started the engine. "I'm going for a drive."
"I've got all the time in the world." Katherine made no movement to put her seat belt on, and Elena didn't care enough to say anything about it. "We still haven't figured out how we're going to trick the boys for an entire night. I mean, Damon kissed me on the porch thinking it was you and Stefan's mistaken us a couple times, but not for a long period. There are certain warning signs aside from our hair."
"Like what?"
"Like your heart beats for instance." Katherine quipped, watching as Elena drove through town aimlessly, no real destination on her mind.
"Yeah," Elena sighed, her shoulders slumping. "how are we gonna fake that?"
"We can't, that's just the thing. This is never going to work. The plan is good Elena, but it has flaws. It has holes."
"The boys aren't that smart though."
"Trust me, if Damon is going to make love to either of us, he is going to be checking to make sure which one of us it is."
"There's always alcohol, we could get them drunk."
"It takes a lot to get a vampire drunk, especially Damon."
"Well, what about Stefan…it's not exactly like he wants me anymore. You're right." Elena sighed, stopping at a red light and resting her forehead on the steering wheel. "This is never going to work. I'm sorry I dragged you all the way back here."
Katherine took one look at the self pitying, annoyingly desperate girl and shook her head. "Damn, alright we'll figure it out."
"Really?" Elena asked, turning her head slowly to look at Katherine, are you sure?"
"Are you still friends with that witch?"
"Bonnie? Yeah of course…"
"We're going to need her help. Where does she live?"
"Close." Elena stepped on the gas, determination in her driving now that she had a plan to help fix the original plan.
_Bonnie's House_
Bonnie listened very carefully and closely to the two girls sitting before her, eyes darting back and forth as she kept track of who was telling her what. "Let me get this straight. You want me to find a spell that will make it appear that Elena's hearts not beating, and you-" she turned to look at her friend. "want me to find a spell to make it appear that her heart is."
"That's the basis of it. Do you think you can handle it, witch?" Katherine smiled, crossing her arms over her chest. She'd opted to stand in the tiny cramped living room while Elena sat on the couch.
"As long as there is a spell, I should be able to." Bonnie's eyes turned to Elena, softening and curious. "Are you sure you want to do this? Maybe if you just talk to him, try to make him understand…"
"I've tried." Elena shook her head. "He's not going t wake up on his own accord. It's going to take a piano falling on his head before he realizes what's up and I'm not entirely patient enough to wait that long. If I have to carry the metaphorical piano up the metaphorical flights of stairs and throw it off the metaphorical building to get his attention, I'll do it."
"Or we could find an actual building, an actual piano and do it for fun." Katherine suggested, her cocky smile faltering slightly when Elena turned to glare at her. "It was just an idea."
"Keep ideas like that to yourself, please."
Katherine rolled her eyes and began strolling around the room. "Fine."
Elena turned back to Bonnie. "Do this please, for me."
Bonnie grimaced, her lips pursed into a thin line. "It's not fair to play the best friend card."
"This is important Bonnie, I love him."
A worry line appeared on Bonnie's forehead. "I was afraid you were gonna say that."
"She can't help it." Katherine said from the corner where she was handling a fragile knick knack, passing it back and forth between her hands. "He's a Salvatore."
"You say that like there's an army of them." Bonnie stood, walked over and took the handmade clay sculpture from the vampire, glaring as she set it back on the shelf.
"When one of the set's their sights on you, you better have an army behind you to hold them off." Katherine smiled and looked at Elena. "I'll help you get Damon, but just remember- once you have him you're going to have him for the rest of your life, and if you let him turn you- that will end up being for all of eternity. Damon doesn't love easy, but when he does love, he loves hard and long. Look at the last hundred years he's spent searching for me. Are you sure you're ready for that kind of commitment?"
"I'm sure." Elena nodded, standing up. "Come on, let's get you back to Caroline's."
"Can't I stay at your house? That blonde brat drives me crazy."
Bonnie huffed and began to leave the room. "Then perhaps you shouldn't have turned her into a vampire."
"Oh get over it." Katherine rolled her eyes, then turned to Elena. "So, can I stay with you."
"And what, have a sleep over with my doppelganger? Pillow fights and popcorn and truth or dare? Not a chance. I need to try and get some sleep tonight. Come on."
As Katherine followed her out of the house, she pouted. "This girl power thing we got going on here is working for us though! Let's keep it going, let's bond a little. I'll let you braid my hair." She laughed.
"I'm not five, and unlike the rest of the world I'm not captivated or in love with you Katherine." Elena got in the car, waiting to start the engine until her twin was next to her.
"Well, that's slightly depressing."
"Oh get over it." Elena said, the slightest smile on her lips as she drove to Caroline's.
a/n: there you go all! Enjoy the last chapter for the night. Expect a new one bright and early tomorrow morning.
