XV. | Miss Mystic Falls

"Well, my name is Lorelei Gilbert. You know my younger brother John and my late brother Grayson. I'm 40 years old, though I'm told I don't look a day over 25. Skin care and plastic surgery does a lot for the face, Carol. Um, I'm engaged to Damon Salvatore, so I'm soon to be Mrs. Salvatore, Carol" Lorelei said with a passive aggressive giggle

"You know your niece Elena is also in this correct? Won't it be interesting competing against her?" Carol asked

"Of course not. I take competition seriously, I don't care who I go against. I will win. Just like I did when we were in high school. How many times was I Miss Mystic Falls? 4 years in a row?" Lorelei asked as she recalled the good old days. Carol had always been salty about that since she had also been in those pageants and lost everytime to Lorelei

"Yes.. you were" Carol replied with a fake smile

"Is that all?" Lorelei asked

"Well, we have to practice for the dance but that will be later. Come to the school later" Carol spoke

Now here they were. Lorelei and Damon were practicing with each other. Just as Elena and Stefan were practicing with one another

"Honor your partner" Carol said. Lorelei and Damon bowed at each other as they both grinned

"Let's focus. Right hand around" Carol said. Everyone lifted their right hands up

"Flirt with your eyes. Not too much. I see you two with your dirty thoughts, none of that" Carol scolded Lorelei and Damon as they looked at each other. Damon gave her a wink as they circled each other

"Left hand around" Carol said. Everyone switched to their left and did the same thing that they were just doing

"Both hands" Carol said. Everyone put both hands up

"You know it'd be more fun if we could touch each other" Damon said as they circled each other

"Carol will get mad" Lorelei said with a grin. Stefan grabbed Elena and dipped her causing everyone to turn as Elena laughed

"No, no, no. There's no touching during this part. It's about the simple intimacy of the near-touch" Carol scolded the Gilbert teen. Lorelei gave Damon a knowing look

"I told you so" She said

Lorelei was currently getting ready for Miss Mystic Falls. She was seated next to Elena while Jenna did her niece's hair. Lorelei was doing her own hair and make up

"Thanks for helping me" Elena told Jenna

"Don't thank me until you're sure your hair isn't gonna burn off" Jenna said

"Oh, this will be so exciting. I can't believe I'm competing against my own niece" Lorelei said

"Yeah, Lori's a tough one to beat. Back in the day she was the champion" Jenna sighed

"You know I remember when me and my were first applying for this. She was so excited" Elena said

"So were you, if I recall" Jenna said. They started getting into some sappy shit so Lorelei stopped listening and continued getting ready. Lorelei ran off to put on her dress which she looked absolutely stunning in. Of course she did, she was hot. She came back to see Elena and Damon in a serious discussion and Stefan walking in

"What's going on in here?" Stefan asked

"I'd also love to know" Lorelei said because she was nosy as fuck
