[bonnie would not ordinarily wear a dress like this one, but the ship had other matters in mind. she makes a face as she stares down at herself, and okay, she looks really good in it, but still. a ship shouldn't be allowed to dress you up like a doll.

when she sees elena, she makes a direct line over to her walking with a smile on her face as she sees elena stand over the table with the masks on it. it's been a little while since she's been on the ship, and it is very good to see her best friend again, okay? ...even if she just saw her back home, but this version of her best friend because she worries and loves every single elena gilbert in existence, okay?]

Elena! You look... seriously amazing! Did you pick out that dress, because A+. Very good choice. [bonnie's smile brightens as she stares at her, and she really does look all grown up in that dress. it is hard to remember what it was like when they were tinies and could only imagine wearing such fancy ball gowns and dresses.] What a time to walk through that door again and right... into the middle of a ball.
