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.

"Done," she eagerly replies, her mouth widening into a grin. "We really need this."

"We do. It feels like it's been forever." Which means they are long overdue for some one-on-one girl time so they can sort out all their drama. She's sure that everyone would feel better after it was over.

"Too long." She nods. "OK. I'll tell Elena? You tell your mom." Because she shouldn't say no. "Since girls night isn't tonight, I absolve you of friend time. Go. Find Tyler."

Caroline nods with a grin, before giving Bonnie's hand a squeeze as she heads off. "See you later!"
