"Wake up little one" she heard a familiar female accent coo and she giggled gently but opened her eyes sleepily, yawning slightly.

"Bekah" she slurred sleepily and hugged the blonde who sat on Damon's bed beside her. Said Salvatore had evacuated the bed the moment Rebekah had entered. It was currently the day of the homecoming and Ariana had been staying at the boarding house since her argument with Elena.

"Come on you, we're going shopping"

"For what?"

"Your homecoming dress!" Rebekah grinned.

"Oh..um...I don't do parties"

"You're going, I'll stay with you the whole time, I promise"

"Promise?"

"I swear it"

"Okay" the blind girl eventually sighed and stood to her feet sleepily, thankfully Rebekah had stepped in to be the one to dress Ariana because it would be awkward if Damon was given that job. "What am I wearing today?"

"You are wearing, a skirt, a white shirt and a Cardigan, it is very cute. I promise"

"Thank you Rebekah" she grinned when the original had finished her make over, Ariana's hair was in two thick dutch braids and she looked adorable. Her glasses were also perched perfectly onto her cute button nose.

"You're welcome little one" Rebekah smiled, straightening the girls skirt. The blonde had purposely given Ariana a pair of white cheerleader shorts to wear underneath, in case it went up and she didn't realise.

"Right, let's go shopping" Rebekah chuckled and took her hand, escorting her down the stairs. When they reached the bottom, they halted abruptly, everyone sat around in the parlor chatting about the plan to kill Klaus.

"Where do you think you are taking my sister?" Elena interjected and Mikael assesses the new doppelganger, his gaze staring directly into her eyes but she seemed unaffected, which solidified his assumption, she was blind.

"Elena! Just leave them alone" Caroline sighed, she may utterly despise Rebekah but she was a good friend to Ariana and helped her when Elena wouldn't.

"Why are you defending her?"

"Because Elena! You said Ariana was a burden and as soon as she has stopped being a burden to you, you want her back" Damon rolled his eyes and Stefan just watched the drama with raised eyebrows and a smirk.

"Aria" Stefan breathed and she giggled at him, hugging him as he kissed her forehead, everyone glanced at him peculiarly but said nothing.

"She's still my sister! My baby sister!"

"You're twins Elena!"

"But look at her! She's tiny! She'd die if a dragonfly flew into her!" Ariana pouted when Elena said that and Damon hugged the little one, lifting her up like a monkey as usual, glad she wore shorts.

"I'm not that small!" The girl protested and they all glanced at her before nodding, even though she clearly was.

"Anyway! I'm taking her to get a homecoming dress!"

"No! No way are you taking her anywhere!" Bonnie demanded and stamped her foot.

"Why not?"

"Because it's not safe, Klaus is coming back to mystic falls."

"He's my brother, he won't hurt her if I'm there"

"you don't know that"

"Fine! We'll stay in! But someone needs to get Aria a dress!"

"I'll get one?" Caroline asked and everyone nodded, allowing the cheerleaders to do so.

"Why is Ariana going? She's blind!" Elena expressed her inner bitch as always.

"Just give it a rest Elena, she wants to go so let her go" Stefan sighed and they all agreed with him.

"Fine! Whatever! But She'll get hurt"

"we'll look after her"

"Sure you will."

"Elena, if you take back what you said to her then just tell her that! Don't take your anger at yourself out on all of us!" Damon growled as he held the girl in his arms, rocking Ariana gently as she hugged him.

"I don't take anything back!" She screamed and exited the room but was stopped by her elder vampire double.

"Your stubbornness is what will get you killed Elena, one day soon you'll realise that having Ariana in your life is a good thing!" She demanded, luckily they were out of sight but the people in the room beyond were still aware that Elena had not yet exited the house.

"I don't care" she finally stormed from the room and out of the front door, down the gravel driveway and to her car once more.

However, Katherine merely rolled her eyes and zoomed to Damon's room where she found a bag of clothes on the counter, they were prepared for that night and nothing could stop them from killing Klaus.

But first, someone had to go and fetch the bitchy human doppelganger once more, she was rather important in the plan, unfortunately.

"I'll go" Bonnie sighed and left the house with no complaints, they all loved Elena but she was too stubborn for her own good at times.

"Come on Ariana, let's go shopping" Caroline giggled and Rebekah stepped forward in hope. An hour later, the blind doppelganger and the two vampire blondes exited the house to shop. Somehow, Rebekah had managed to gain permission to go but Caroline wanted to supervise.

"You're going to look perfect Ari"

"Why does it matter what I look like? I'm not going to see myself am I?" She grumbled and fiddled with her hands.

"But other people will see you Aria"

"Fine"
