One day three friends were sat around the iPad screen waiting for the black butler first person video to load.

"Why won't this stupid video load?!" Imogen asked falling back onto the bed. Severina and Megan looked at her as she began to sit back up.

"Because there's no descent internet connection at the moment." Megan huffed just as the picture came on.

"Yay!" Severina said half-heartedly watching the picture begin to play.

"She does my ******* head-in." Imogen sighed as lady Elizabeth began giggling on the screen with Paula.

"Is it only me that would backhand her?" Severina said as the girl with blonde curls started screaming Ceil.

"You backhand anyone" Megan leaned back on the bed. Sebastian offered his hand forward and it seemed to reach out of the screen. Imogen shrugged and offered her own, gasping as the butlers hand gripped her own tightly, she flailed around screaming before dragging her two friends into the tiny screen with her.

Suddenly they were in front of a brown carriage with blue curtains from a different century. They looked at each other and then at them selves. Imogen was in a pink dress with a thin piece of white lace where it ended in a darker pink stripy part with an even darker line at either side going down to the waist lined with buttons the same colour. Severina was in a similar red dress that was plainer. Both of them were panicking, especially seeing Megan smiling ecstatically in a blue dress with rope and silk below the waist and white and blue stripes above, clearly a sea themed outfit. Only Megan wore a hat which was the same blue, adorned with a loose twist of rope around it that hung very loose in areas in a slightly elegant way. Their outfits seemed to be designed to suit them whilst suiting the expectations of the Victorian age.

"Here he is dear, presenting Ceil earl Phantomhive" Elizabeth stood in front of them in a pink dress with green and brown trimmings. She would have been lovely if not for her extremely annoying voice, Severina's lips set in a hard line. She smiled almost as hugely as Megan as she indicated to Ceil. Both Imogen and Severina glowered. "Ceil, these are the new friends I told you about in my letter, We met at a ball last Monday." She seemed to go on and on so they all stopped listening quickly. Ceil stepped forward wearing his usual blue.

"Welcome to my estate. Yes I am Ceil, I am head of the Phantomhive household." He was smiling but it didn't reach his cartoon eyes, They suddenly realised the were all now animations. "I hope you find tonight's ball enjoyable."

"Thank-you, I imagine it will be a most... unique affair." Megan smiled, carefully choosing her words to fit the 'unique' situation.

"Sebastian, make sure they have everything thy need." Ceil said dismissively.

"***hole." Imogen heard Severina mutter under her breath making her smile slightly.

"Certainly my lord." Sebastian smiled and bowed his head so slightly it was almost invisible except to the keen eyes of the confused friends. "Pleased to make your acquaintance." He turned to them, Megan placed her hand over her mouth to discreetly cover the shock of his unnerving red eyes, the colour of Severina's dress. "Sebastian Michaelis, I work for the Phantomhive household, at your service."

"Thank you for the kind welcoming." Megan said clearly taking charge of speaking.

"We pride ourselves on hospitality and every comfort." He said as means of explanation. "And now welcome to the Phantomhive manorr." He indicated to the grand doors which an old man in a suit named Tanaka opened them dramatically.

"Why isn't the oh so important Lord Ceil ***hole opening them and speaking." Severina whispered to her friends.

"Because it was seen as improper in Victorian times for a higher class person to do such menial tasks." Megan explained further confusing Severina.

A few minutes later they were entering a fancy room with blue curtains and bedding and huge windows, there wasn't a speck of dust. "We have prepared this guest room for you, there is one either side to accommodate for all of you." Sebastian smiled, everyone else had drifted away as if this was the normal when having guests. Megan found the whole thing exciting except from Sebastian whom she was terrified of. Imogen and Severina however were extremely disorientated by their new surroundings.

"It's extremely lovely." Imogen said finally finding her voice but still saying it quiet enough for Sebastian to have to lean in to hear her.

"Lovely you say, I am so pleased." He smiled as he leaned back again. They walked into the room single file. Severina hunched forward thinking about how much she would love to slap everyone here for their smugness or annoyingness. "I see your posture has something to be desired." Sebastian commented. "I would be happy to teach you how to carry yourself correctly if you desire it." Severina's scowl deepened until it looked like her face was melting. "I see, over generations the Phantomhive's have decorated this room with the finest historical items. You'll find everything is suited for a gentlewoman so please make yourself at home." Imogen stepped forward and began looking at some pictures. "I see you are admiring the pictures of the late earl Vincent Phantomhive and his lovely wife Rachael. From what I understand they were prominent figures much loved by the entire community. They devoted themselves passionately to worthy civil causes such as aiding the poor and improving medical care and infrastructures. The queen evidently placed a lot of trust in them. You might as my master for further details this afternoon at tea. For now though-" A loud crash that seemed to come from downstairs cut him off and they all turned to look out of the open door behind the butler for some bazar reason. "If you please wait here there's a matter which I must attend to." He turned and curtly left.

"I tax the room on the right because I'm obviously always right!" Megan said excitedly. Severina scowled and went to the other side, all three rooms were identical in every detail.

"Lets go and spy on the butler!" Severina announced. They made their way down to the servants area of the manor and hear Sebastians smug voice that despite his low social status, seemed to carry the highest amount of authority.

"I suppose I shouldn't be surprized."

Another voice in a strong accent spoke now although they could not yet see the person at the source. "It's th's bloody new burner we goh, the blasted th'ng won't work!"

"Please miss stay back!" Sebastian turned and ran at Imogen as Megan and Severina swiftly went to the side. He dove on Imogen and pushed her to the ground as the kitchen erupted in flames. Megan yelped and Imogen's face was hidden, which she was thankful for because she didn't want anyone to see her expression. "My deepest apologies, are you injured?" Sebastian frowned climbing off his still with an impressive amount of dignity. only mentally. Imogen thought cringing on the floor, Sebastian frowned worried.

"That was a close shave eh?" The voice from before came again but this time the person was visible too, he was tall and blonde wearing a chefs costume, burnt in several places and lab goggles for obvious reasons. He could have competed with Sebastian for height who was also unusually tall, they couldn't tell since he was crouched beside Imogen in a sort of defensive position. "We almost started a bloody great fire in there!" Said the chef unusually happy.

"You did start a fire." A squeaky made with huge round glasses and pink ponytails squawked. A small boy with a plain white shirt and straw hat was next to her.

"Are you alright, sorry Sebastian, and who is this?" The boy said, he was possibly younger than Ceil who appeared to be a young boy himself.

"Miss." Sebastian helped Imogen to her feet. Megan and Severina joined her. "These are friends of lady Elizabeth's and will be our esteemed guests tonight at the ball.

"Oh how lovely." Said the boy smiling, Megan couldn't help but give a huge smile back while Severina smiled, Imogen was hiding her face, still blushing hugely.

"It's always exciting to have a fancy new guest." Said the maid. Severina muttered about how she would love to murder her.

The cook looked at Imogen. "She's a right pretty thing aint she."

They returned to Imogen's room led by Sebastian. "I'm terribly sorry you had to witness that scene but more so that you were exposed to danger but I can't apologise enough." Sebastian was very sincere in his apology. Imogen shook her head blushing, she clearly seemed to be the centre of the butlers attention. "However I do remember requesting that you wait for me here. Every household has it's secrets, certain places that are not meant to be seen by visitors. Strutting around somebody else's manor seems extremely inconsiderate to me." Imogen stepped back, worried. "However I certainly understand the curiosity of the young."

"I've never been somewhere so..." Imogen trailed off speaking quietly.

"Exquisite?" Megan offered.

"Ah, I see, you have never been to an estate this large before, and your inquisitive natures got the better of you. Rather similar to an innocent puppy who has no regard or knowledge of fear. We still have a little more time before tea. I would be honoured if you would accompany me on a tour of the manner, surely it would quench your curiosity. With your permissions I would like to act as your guide of the manor." He smiled sweetly at Imogen whilst offering his hand, Imogen took it without hesitation. "And if you do not mind, who's idea was it to follow me?"

"Well I believe we all had an urge to... explore the exceptionally extravagant manor which, if I may say so, you have done an amazing job at keeping in perfect order however it was Severina who voiced this." Megan smiled whilst Severina hunched over and glowered at the floor, her arms folded over her chest.
