I need your help

"Sophie have you sent out the invitations?" asked Elora as she was in her own office.

"Yes Madam Elora, I gave them to Chris, he should be done delivering them by now" said Sophie

In contrast to Sapiens cold, dark, black office, Elora's office was bright, welcoming and happy, the wall were pink and were paired up with pink curtains, which were opened and allowed light to come in, her desk was white in colour.

"And have you sent one to Stella?" asked Elora

"Yes, her invitation was the first one I sent out" said Sophie

"Thank you Sophie" said Elora as she smiled.

"It's my pleasure Madam Elora" said Sophie as she smiled, and dusted the curtains and Elora smiled back.

She had been working with the Hawknights for many years since Lucinda was born, she was just 20 years old when she started the work of a nanny, and they were very kind to her especially Elora, they were more like friends than employer and employee.

"Ahh Sophie have you got me the new pins I asked for?" asked Elora

"Ahh yes I did, I forgot them back in my room, should I go and get them now?" asked Sophie

"No don't worry, you can give them to me later" said Elora

"Okay" said Sophie

"Sophie where are the children? I don't hear them" said Elora

"Ahh, I saw them entering Professor's Office, I think he called them there" said Sophie

"Ahh I see" said Elora as it was suspicious, but then again they were his grandchildren too, so there was nothing wrong with him wanting to talk to them.

"The children are just so cute aren't they?" asked Sophie as she smiled

"Yes, they are Sophie" said Elora as she smiled back.

Meanwhile In Sapiens Office

"So Grandfather you called us here" said Matt

"Yes, my children I have something to ask you all" said Sapiens seriously

"What is it?" asked Evie

"I need your help" said Sapiens

"Mhmmm" said Matt

"Well me and your Grandma's Anniversary is coming up and I want to surprise her" said Sapiens

"Oooh you do?? that's so cute?? so what do you have in mind Grandfather?" asked Evie as she was already getting excited.

"Our Anniversary is in a week and I want to surprise her with little things everyday, but I don't know what and how to do it" admitted Sapiens shyly, it was weird seeing him admit that he could not do something.

"Ahhh don't worry Grandfather we are experts... right girls" said Evie as she smiled and looked at her sisters

"Right" replied Kaylee, Ellie and Celeste nodded her head.

"And the boys will definitely help" said Evie

"So Grandfather you don't have to worry just tell us what you have in mind, and we will help you" said Evie as she smiled, she was getting way too into this.

"Thank you, all of you" said Sapiens as he smiled.

"You are welcome" said Evie as she smiled

"Now, now, we have to get to work, what is the first plan of action?" asked Evie

"Hmmm, well let's brainstorm" said Levi

"Good Idea Levi" said Evie

"What about flowers? Celeste says why don't we start with flowers?" asked Ellie as Celeste whispered in her ear.

"That's a good Idea Cellie, Grandfather what do you think?" asked Evie as she looked at Sapiens

"Flowers it is" said Sapiens

"Yayyyy, now what kind of flowers?" asked Evie

"We need kinds of flowers?" asked Sapiens

"Yes Grandfathers different flowers mean different things" explained Kaylee

"Ahh I see" said Sapiens

Well it was back to square one, this would take some time.

Meanwhile back at the Palace

Stella was in her office with Captious and they seemed to be discussing something.

"Have you also received the invitation from Elora?" asked Captious

"Ahh yes, I did" said Stella as she was comparing some documents.

"So are you attending?" asked Captious

"Of course I am, I feel like it would be a good reason for a reunion" said Stella as she laughed

"That is true" said Captious as he laughed

"So about the Adrian matter?" asked Captious

"Ahh, well that is why I am so busy, the Council has sent me a list of candidates and I am comparing them now" said Stella

"That's good" said Captious

"And what about the issue of security in the Palace?" asked Captious

"Oh, well that will be taken care of soon, I still have a lot to deal with right now" said Stella

"In a way, it was not a good idea for Sapiens to take leave, everyone is just so busy and we need as much help as we can" said Captious

"Haha Captious let the man be, it's his Anniversary soon after all, and it makes sense if he wants to stay home during that time, which reminds me, Lucinda informed me that she would be at home with her parents" said Stella

"Ahh I see, which means less people in the Palace" said Captious

"Yes, that gives me an Idea" said Stella

"What is it?" asked Captious

"Since I still have the Palace security matter on hand, why don't I ask if Annie, Maddie and the rest can leave the Palace and go and live with Sapiens just for a while" said Stella

"Umm I don't think that is a good Idea" said Captious

"You know how Sapiens is with strangers in his house" said Captious

"Oh that's nonsense, I will just ask Elora, I am sure that she will agree, and also it would be good for Annie and Maddie since they have been stuck in the Palace all this while" said Stella

"It's a good idea, besides Sapiens Grandchildren are good friends with Annie, I am sure he cannot do anything, as long as they are there" said Stella

"But you and I both know how Sapiens can be" said Captious

"That's his problem, I am sure my darling Elora would set him straight" said Stella

"Let me call her now" she said as she reached for a red telephone on her desk and she dialed a number.

Meanwhile back at Sapiens house

"I wonder who could be calling me" said Elora as she picked up the pink telephone on her desk.

"Hello" she said

"Elora, hello darling how are you?" came Stella's voice from the other line.

"Ahh Stella, long time no see, I am doing well and how are you?" asked Elora

"I am well my dear" said Stella

"Have you received your invitation yet?" asked Elora

"Yes, I received it this morning" said Stella

"Great, so are you coming?" asked Elora

"Of course my darling I am" said Stella as she laughed.

"Haha that's good to hear" laughed Elora back

"So to what do I owe your special call today?" she asked

"Ahh about that my darling, I wanted to catch up a bit, and also ask you for a favour" replied Stella

"Ahh I see" said Elora

"Yes my darling, so I have some guests and the Palace needs to be checked, can they stay with you?" asked Stella

"Sure, I see no problem with that" said Elora

"Aww Darling, thank you, you know they are actually very good friends with your grandchildren" said Stella

"Really then?? I cannot wait to meet them" said Elora

"You are not going to ask Sapiens for his opinion?" asked Stella

"No, of course not, it's my house too, and I can have whoever I want over" replied Elora

"Of course Darling I agree with you 100%" said Stella

"Haha" laughed Elora

"I'm sorry my Darling Elora, but I have to go now, you know how much work I have to do" said Stella

"I understand Stella, take care, Oh, when should I expect your guests?" asked Elora

"Ahh, maybe sometime later today" said Stella

"I see, well I will be expecting them" said Elora

"Thank you Darling, take care" said Stella

"Bye" said Elora, and Stella put down the telephone.

"You see, I told you that she would agree" said Stella as she turned to look at Captious with a smile

"Of course he agreed Elora is sometimes too kind for her own good" said Captious

"Whatever you say Capi, anyway let me tell Annie the news" said Stella

"Ahh it's times like these that I miss Adrian" said Stella

"That is true" said Captious

"Oh well, it would give me some exercise anyway" said Stella as she stood up.

Meanwhile in Annie and Maddie's room.

Annie was alone in the room, as Maddie had went to get something from the kitchen, when she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" she said

"Hello dear" said Stella as she walked into the room.

"Ahh Aunt Stella welcome" said Annie as she smiled

"Thank you my dear, where is Maddie?" asked Stella as she looked around the room.

"Well she went to get something from the kitchen" said Annie

"I see, so I came here to tell you something dear" said Stella

"Okay?" said Annie

"Well my dear, I need to implement some changes in the Palace, so I have made arrangements for you all to go to Professor Sapiens house just for the meantime, I will also inform your parents" said Stella but little did she know that she lost Annie once she said Professor Sapiens house.

"What??? what??? his house" said Annie to herself as she panicked internally but kept a sweet smile outside.

"Okay Aunt Stella, so umm when do we leave?" asked Annie

"Later today" said Stella

"I am sure that it would be fun for you, you would be able to see other parts of the witch realm" said Stella

"Yes, I can't wait" said Annie

"Haha that's the attitude my dear" said Stella as she smiled

"Well I just came to tell you this, I will be leaving now" she said

"Okay, have a good day Aunt Stella" said Annie as she waved

"Thank you dear, and you too" said Stella as she smiled and closed the door behind her.

A few minutes later.

"Annie?? Annie what's wrong?? talk to me" said Maddie as walked into the room and was met with a lifeless looking Annie, I mean she had just went to the kitchen for a few minutes and Annie was acting weird.

"Annie??" asked Maddie

"I am done for" she said

"What happened?? why are you done for?" asked Maddie

"Something horrible just happened" said Annie as she looked at Maddie

"What?? what happened?" asked Maddie

"Aunt Stella just told me that, we all are going to stay at Professor Sapiens house for some days" said Annie as she looked devastated.

"No" said Maddie

"Yes" replied Annie

"I am done for, he would probably throw me out of his house, why did this have to happen??" asked Annie as she rambled.

"Okay calm down, it's not that bad" said Maddie as she tried to make Annie relax.

"When are we going?" asked Maddie

"Later today" said Annie

"Oof, well brace yourself" said Maddie
