"Love doesn't make the world go 'round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile."

"Caelum! Can you come help me sort through the boxes of files? Carol was asking about them." Jenna yelled up the stairs.

"Yeah, give me a minute!" Caelum gets up from their bed, and heads to Jeremy's room and knocks before opening the door.

"Jer. Get up." He groans and throws a pillow at Caelum, which they dodge. "Come on, I'm not doing this myself. Pleaseeeeee." Caelum whines and Jeremy gets up.

"Fine, you owe me."

Caelum grabs onto Jeremy's hand and pulls them down the stairs as they go, stopping at the door under the staircase.

"AJ, we're here."

Jenna looks up at Caelum's words and gestured for the two siblings to come closer.

"Did Carol say anything about what she wants?" Jeremy asks, looking at the giant pile of boxes. "Because if not, we're gonna be here for a while."

"She mentioned something about founding families and their bloodlines I believe. I told her I'd look for it."

"Bloodlines? What does she need that for?" Caelum asks.

"I'm honestly not sure, I didn't ask."

"Well this should be fun." Caelum mutters and Jeremy nods in agreement with their words. Jenna just sighs and sits down.

As the trio are going through the many boxes, there is a knock on the door.

"I'll get it!" Caelum yelled, getting up fast before the others could, the chair screeching against the floor.

"Damn it." Jeremy muttered under his breath as he continued to look through the pile of old papers.

Caelum headed to the door, and opened it up to reveal Elijah.

"Hey Elijah, whatcha doing here?" Caelum asks, hugging him and allowing him to come in.

"I was wondering if I could steal you for the day?" Elijah asks, and Caelum nods.

"And where will we be going?"

"It's a surprise. But wear something semi-formal."

"Semi-formal...hmmm." Caelum mutters as they lead Elijah into the dining room where Jeremy and Jenna are rifling through boxes. "Jenna, I need help."

The duo look up from the boxes at Caelum's comment.

"Oh hello Elijah. What do you need my help with, Cae?" Jenna asks, after welcoming ELijah.

"Just come on." Caelum tugs Jenna from the seat and leads her upstairs. "Make yourself comfortable, Elijah!"

"Woah, Caelum wait." Jenna says as Caelum closes their bedroom door behind them. "What's going on?"

"Elijah's taking me somewhere and I need your help picking an outfit."

"What for?"
