"Alright have fun, girls." Margaret waved to her sister and her small girlfriend as the two were visiting a local animal rescue and conservation centre. The Liones siblings and the Faerie siblings had gone on holiday together and were currently all staying in a small house together.

"I still say you two have odd tastes when it comes to dates." Veronica commented eating some popcorn as she looked over at the silver and blonde couple.

"Hey! I would love to go on a date like that!" Harlequin, nicknamed King or Harley, exclaimed.

"Really? Dolor would take me anywhere if I just asked him." Gloxinia commented, a teasing look crossing his face.

Gerharde nodded her head "Rou too."

"Come on, you both know I don't have a girlfriend." King flushed at his older siblings' teasing. King was actually the only one of the Faerie siblings who didn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, in fact he was the only one here without a boyfriend or girlfriend.

"You would if you'd just ask her out already." Elaine told him, puffing her cheeks out.

"Honestly, I'm surprised Diane hasn't asked you out yet." Elizabeth smiled at her girlfriend's older brother.

King's face exploded in colour as Elaine gently pulled Elizabeth out the door by her hand, the two girls waved goodbye to the other temporary residents of the house and shut the door behind them.

…

Arriving at the Animal Conservation and Rescue Centre, Elizabeth and Elaine looked around at the animals reading the information given about them and sharing any extra information one of them had with each other.

Currently the girls were asking a few of the people that worked there questions, about the animals, why they did what they did and what exactly their job entailed.

Their eyes sparkled, listening to the answers. The two smiled at each other and said their goodbyes, they didn't want to keep them when they had such important work to do.

A while later they sat next to each other surrounded by various animals eating their lunch. "Hey, Elizabeth. I've always wanted to go into something involving animals or plants, you know?" Elaine spoke up, Elizabeth nodded in response.

"Yes of course but you never knew what exactly. Why do you bring that up, Elaine?" Elizabeth asked the blonde, she was looking at the animals in front of her with a smile on her face, up until Elaine had spoken up Elizabeth had been doing the same. She had a pretty good idea of what Elaine was going to say and she was on board all the way.

"I want to open an Animal Conservation and Rescue Centre too." Elaine told the silverette moving her gaze to look at her. Elizabeth had a smile on her face, Elaine knew just by looking that Elizabeth had seen that coming a mile away.

"Me too!" Elizabeth had exclaimed excitedly, she had been waiting a long time to say that. Grabbing her girlfriend's hands she leaned in close to her. "Let's make a haven for all animals together, Elaine!"

"Oh! You don't have too…" Elaine averted her eyes, she didn't want to drag Elizabeth into anything she didn't want to do, Elizabeth loved animals but she had never given any indication of wanting to go into something that involved them.

"It's alright. I want to. There's no way you'd ever let me do something I didn't want to, Elaine." Elizabeth told her shaking her head. Elaine smiled, Elizabeth was right. She would never ever let her beloved do something that made her unhappy, just like Elizabeth would never ever let her do something that made her unhappy, and she certainly seemed happy at the idea. "We can help plants to if you want."

Elaine's smile grew wider and she nodded enthusiastically. "We can ask our parents about helping us start off."

"And talk to the visitors about the animals, their safety and the dangers they're facing." Elizabeth added, it was important that awareness was raised for the animals after all. The two walked around, suggesting ideas and talking about their plans. They wrote them down on their phones, deciding to write them down cleaner and in more detail later on.

They were both aware how much time and work would go into this, such a thing only became more and more apparent as they talked. They'd have to talk to their families, specifically their fathers, as well since they'd need a lot of money to get started.

…

Elizabeth and Elaine were sitting across from their fathers, they'd moved to talk to them about it as soon as possible. It took awhile to get to a time where both Elaine's father and Elizabeth's father were available but that gave them plenty of time to prepare.

Elizabeth and Elaine knew their fathers would be willing to help them out but only if they were positive that they had a plan of action and would be able to support themselves when the time came.

They sat in that room for a while, going over their plans with Dahlia and Baltra. Some changes had been made to the plans, whether it was switching things around or erasing it completely but most of them remained in tact.

"We'd put some money aside for you two." Dahlia commented after they had finished, Elizabeth and Elaine had blinked in surprise. They had that they had some money set aside for them individually from their individual fathers but 'you two' implied there was some for the both of them together.

"Yes, we had planned on using it for your wedding-" Baltra added on, Elizabeth and Elaine's eyes widened and a bright blush covered their cheeks.

"M-married?!"

"We-we're not… marriage…"

Dahlia and Baltra laughed at their daughter's reaction, they weren't joking exactly but the money set aside was for marriage for any of their children. It had been seperate once, of course. One for Dahlia's four children and one for Baltra's three children but after Elizabeth and Elaine had been dating for three years they had put their money together.

"Relax girls, the money set aside for you, Elizabeth…" Baltra started.

"And you, Elaine will be going towards your goals." Dahlia finished.

"But seriously, if you do want to get married we have money for that."

"Make sure to spread the word to your siblings Elaine, yours too Elizabeth."

The blushes that had been leaving came back full force and the two looked at each other. They gave each other smiles, marriage was certainly appealing.
