Over at the temple, the Jesse twins, Lukas, and Olivia were packing up their suitcases. The Jesse twins had been busy running Beacontown, and even after they hired their new intern, it was stressful. They showed the new guy the ropes, and Axel and Petra offered to look over Beacontown for a bit, so that the twins could take a short vacation. And it was nice that Lukas and Olivia were coming with them to.

"Got everything packed up, sis?" asked M. Jesse.

"Almost. Are Lukas and Olivia ready to go?" she asked.

"Olivia's ready. Lukas almost is," said M. Jesse. "I'll go check on them."

He left his sister's room and walked down the hallway. As he did, he could hear music playing from Reuben's room. Reuben was practicing his acoustic guitar, because he and Benedict had been writing a song to play together, as a birthday gift for Isa. The Founder's party was going to happen sometime after the twins, Lukas, and Olivia return from their mini vacation, and M. Jesse found it neat that Reuben and Benedict were writing a song to perform for Isa as a gift.

M. Jesse headed down the hallway and down to the redstone lab. Olivia was checking over her stuff that she packed up. As he watched his girlfriend go over her stuff one last time, M. Jesse couldn't help but blush. He loved how Olivia changed her look, especially with what she did to her hair. Olivia's hair was longer now, and she didn't have it in pigtails anymore.

Olivia turned around and saw M. Jesse staring at her.

"Hi Jesse. Did you need something?" she asked him.

M. Jesse blinked a few times, snapping out of his trance.

"N-no! Just checking to see if you're ready to go," he said, blushing.

Olivia couldn't help but smirk at her boyfriend. "I'm ready to go," she said.

"Okay. I think... I'll go check in on Lukas," said M. Jesse.

He quickly headed back upstairs and headed to Lukas's room. Lukas's room was a bit more barren, because the blonde was building a house just outside of town, so he could find a quieter environment to start his writing. He was in the process of moving out, but he was still a member of the new order.

Lukas was pacing the room, and he had a piece of paper in his hand. He appeared to be reading off of what he wrote on the paper. M. Jesse couldn't help but smirk. He knew that Lukas wrote a poem for F. Jesse.

"No! I need to sound more confident when I read this to her," said Lukas.

"Yeah. That's for sure!" said M. Jesse.

Lukas turned around and when he saw M. Jesse, he formed a panicked look.

"J-Jesse!" he said nervously.

"Wrote a love poem for my sister?" said M. Jesse.

"Y-yeah... I want to take her out to dinner, just me and her, at some point on our trip. I want to give her something nice. Still a work in progress though. If I don't perfect it by then, I'll be sure to get it done before I finish moving out. I don't want her to feel crushed or anything..." said Lukas. He put his paper and his quill away in his inventory.

"Hey, my sister wants you to be happy, and it's not like you're leaving her forever, Lukas. I know she'll understand," said M. Jesse.

"Thanks Jesse. Anyway, I'm almost ready. I just need to finish packing up," said Lukas.

"Take your time buddy," said M. Jesse.

He left Lukas's room and headed downstairs to grab some food really quick. As he did, he passed by Axel's room. He could hear Axel and Petra talking from the other side of the door, so he decided not to bother them for the time being. M. Jesse walked downstairs and headed into the kitchen. When he arrived, he saw that someone brewed some coffee and cooked some pancakes.
