mystic falls | people will say we're in love

[recrudesce]

A fun fact about Mystic Falls, they celebrate everything - especially if it's even remotely historical. For Founder's Day, they set aside a week of events. The kickoff party has passed. It was lovely and it was at the Lockwood's like always. But, tonight, tonight is the Bachelorette Auction (amended by Mayor Carol Lockwood to be hip and have a twist of tradition. never one to color too outside the line, Miss Mystic Falls Caroline Forbes endorsed it - so everyone did). The bachelor auction is held inside the world famous Grill.

During the day, the town readies for Founder's Day as they build floats, stages and put up stands. There's even a half day off school and a cookout. The usuals: hot dogs, hamburgers, any condiment you'd like and lemonade better than your relative could make. Live music. Lively fun. Enjoy the festivities.

In the Grill there's a buffet of fried goodness and for those of age (or who can compel people things) it's happy hour. (Carol Lockwood likes her booze)

Each woman steps up to microphone and says something about themselves while bachelors throw out bids.

After, everyone splits off back into the town square for music and the winners get what could be called a date.

"Yeah, well with your vampire track record..." she says, looking past her at a pleased with himself Damon Salvatore.

"Don't start. Riley is going to be pissed enough as it is." And she didn't want to get into another "you're dating/have dated a vampire" scenario.

"Riley will be fine. I'm worried about you. And him. And a really public date. Just... be careful, okay?"

"Well, the good thing about it being really public is he can't eat me." So at least that's a start, but she heeds Dawn's warning. She gives her sister's arm a squeeze. "I'll be okay. Go ... keep Riley from exploding."

"I can't believe I miss my own boy drama..." But, don't even say anything, Buffy, she'll listen. "Riley-watch. You can count on me. Really, though. Be careful." And then she's off.
