Jeremy was definitely starting to get annoyed by Hazel's fussing over him as the days went on. He could understand it because she watched him die, reopening old wounds from the accident, but when he said he was fine, he was just that—fine. It's not that he's not appreciative of her checking in on him; he's used to it since she's always been like that as the oldest sibling, he just wishes she would tone it down a bit. He doesn't need hourly check ins—and that's even undermining it. He knows Hazel would be texting or calling him every minute if she had that chance. Jeremy understands that watching him die would've been traumatic, and he had no doubt that she had nightmares of that very situation every night since. Thankfully, she was now busy, preparing for the Mystic Falls High School Carnival. She could use the distraction. A night away from all the supernatural crap that has invaded her life—a night away from vampires. She's earned it.
Hazel has always loved carnivals. She thinks they're so joyous and fun, and her sweet tooth most definitely loves the amount of candy everywhere. She'll eat so much of it that her stomach will ache for days, but she can't ever resist the pink, sugary cotton candy. Jeremy had to basically beg her to go to help prep for it. Since Caroline was in the hospital, she, Elena and Bonnie were in charge of taking care of everything in her absence.
"Katherine looked just like you two, it was freakish." Bonnie says, shuddering a little, speaking on her run-in with Katherine during the wake. She almost fell for her trick before she realised who it really was. There was something different—darker—than normal about the 'Elena' she was speaking to and she just knew it wasn't right.
"Yeah, I know she's like centuries older than us, but maybe she's our other triplet." Hazel jokes uncomfortably. She guesses that's why they call them doppelgängers. She then thinks out loud, "Maybe we are related—that could explain it, right?" She asks, turning to look at the set up of one of the stalls, missing the way that Elena and Bonnie shared a look between them.
"She didn't just resemble you like a family member would. She was you." Bonnie insists.
"I don't know, I can't explain it. It's creepy, that's all I got." Elena shrugs. She wishes she wasn't the only one being mimicked. She doesn't know what else Katherine could get up to pretending to be her. Elena then tries to change the subject, "Hey, I moved the student booth into the cafeteria."
"That's fine." Hazel says as she flips through some of the pages in her clipboard to see the layout of the school compared to the other stalls. The cafeteria was looking a little sparse in terms of booths, "It might be a better fit there, actually."
