I was awoken by my doorbell ringing. My eyes squinted in the sunlight as I sat up. I groaned and flashed down the steps.

My eyes peeked through the hole to see who was there. But there was nobody. Cautiously, I opened the door and stepped outside.

When I looked down, there was a package. A really nicely decorated box with a bow and a note. I bent down to pick both up. And the box was surprisingly light.

After I shut the door, my fingers tore through the envelope. Then, I slid out the note. Actually, it was an invite.

Please join the Mikaelson Family this evening at seven o'clock for dancing, cocktails, and celebration.

Awe. They were having a party to celebrate their reunion. I'm definitely going. But there was more on the back. I flipped it over and read the rest.

It would be an honor if I could share a dance with you tonight.
~Elijah

I smiled. Of course I'd share a dance with him. I'd dance the whole time with him. Then, I went to open the box.

Inside was an absolutely gorgeous dress. I pulled it out to examine it further.

It was a deep red dress, nearly the color of blood. Ironic, right? Or coincidence? Eh, I could never tell the two apart. But it was beautiful. There were ruffles laddering down the sides. Silver vintage designs crawled up the front of the dress as well as at the bust. And the bust was a sweetheart neckline. I felt my breath stop. It was absolutely breathtaking.

I set it on the bed and squealed on the inside. I checked the box and there were dark red heels, not too tall by the way, that were decorated with the same silver. I grinned from ear to ear. This was going to be amazing.

Immediately, I called Elena. The phone rang three times before she picked up.

"Al?"

"Elena! Did you get an invite too?" I sounded too excited. I was. Really.

She sighed. "Yes. Apparently their mother Esther wants to meet me." Her voice sounded unenthused.

I poured. "But you're gonna have a fun time anyways. Who are you bringing?"

She hesitated. "I'm not sure I want to. But Damon will be with me the whole time because of his new hero self. And Stefan... He's just coming."

I blinked and looked down. "Oh, that's... Wow."

Elena agreed. "Yeah, who are you going with?" She asked.

I smiled. Before I could answer, she stopped me. "Wait, don't tell me," she had laughter in her voice. "Elijah asked you!"

I made a dinging noise. "You chose correct," I laughed. Elijah as my date... It fit nice.

"Who would've thought?" She pondered playfully. "You know, I can see you two as a, you know, a pair."

I started to blush. "Lena!" I hardcore blushed. "If you say things like that at the ball, I'm going to kill you!"

She started laughing. "Good luck doing that. I have Salvatores on patrol."

I rolled my eyes. But then I grew serious. "Do you know what happened to me?" I asked out of nowhere.

I think it scared her. She seemed shocked over the phone. "What do you mean?" She asked.
