Ciel slammed his fist against the wall.

"NOW? She just decided it would be a nice idea to visit NOW?" Ciel screamed at Mey-Rin.

The three servants, Bard-the pyrotechnic cook, Finny-the "ever-so innocent," abnormally strong gardener, and last but most certainly not least, Mey-Rin-the sniper maid with incredible eyesight and still wears glasses, all looked down at their shoes. Around noon Elizabeth Middleford, Ciel's fiancée, sent word that she would be coming over for Christmas.

Ciel sighed and closed his eyes for a moment. He held his head in one hand and had his other hand balancing his stressed body on his custom made cane.

"Sebastian..."

"Yes, master?" A dark-haired man replied in a sinister tone from behind Ciel. He was tall and skinny and his crimson eyes gave those around him the feeling that he had killed someone and gotten away with it.

"Go... Prepare a room for Lady Elizabeth... If she wants to visit, fine. But we've got work to do and she's not going to delay us anymore than she already has. Mey-Rin-" he turned and looked coldly at the maid. "Make sure she doesn't turn the house into a tea party. Bard-" he then turned to scowl at the "chef."

"No cooking." Bard huffed and lit another cigarette. Finny gave him a sad look since he knew it wasn't good to smoke. Bard sighed and put it out.

"Finny, whatever you do, do not decorate all the trees with the glass ornaments. If you must get into the spirit, pick one tree and use the less fragile ornaments." Ciel walked back to his room, muttering under his breath about how the queen was going to be disappointed if he was late.

Mey-Rin sighed. "So much to do... Yet not very much TO do. The young master must be really upset. Not often does he talk so much.

Sebastian rode up to the front of the mansion in the Phantomhive carriage as soon as Elizabeth Middleford arrived. Ciel knew that it would be almost impossible postpone his conference with the queen at all much less this short notice. He sighed and rubbed his temples.

Elizabeth got out of the carriage, with the help of Sebastian, and daintily walked up to the mansion.

"Ci-eeel! Oh, Ciel!" She ran practically skipping along on her toes to give him a big bear hug. She heard him sigh and roll his eyes.

"Lady Elizabeth-"

"Lizzie!"

Sigh. "Lizzie, I have an appointment in a few hours. We must be making our leave immediately. A room has been prepared but do not wait up for dinner or breakfast for we will not be back till noon tomorrow."

Now it was Elizabeth's turn to sigh. She still had her hands around his neck but was looking down at her feet with an expression that would've made Ciel melt if he hadn't lost his parents, already promised his soul to demon, and wasn't already late to meet the queen. As head of the Funtom Company, it was his duty to be stern and very strict to those around him and himself.

Ciel was opening the door when he heard an excited squeal and a giggling Elizabeth peaked over his shoulder.

"How about I come with you?"

"No." Ciel didn't hesitate with his answer and walked outside to where the Phantomhive carriage was waiting. Elizabeth beat him there. She stood there stubbornly with her arms crossed against her chest. The wind tossed her hair this way and that. She must've been particularly stubborn right then in order to stand out there, unmoving with no attempt to fix her hair.

Ciel frowned and tensed up. Finally, he shrugged and sighed. "I don't have time to deal with this right now. Fine." Sebastian frowned at him.

"Master, she won't be able to go in to meet the queen and what-"

"Sebastian, it's an order." Ciel and Sebastian glared at each and Sebastian eventually just gave him a creepy smile.

"Very well, Master," he said, putting extra emphasis on the Master.

Elizabeth squealed in delight and jumped into the carriage, dragging a surprised Ciel in with her.

First story! SO excited! I'm going to try to add a new chapter every Monday but if I have enough time I'll do it before. Each chapter will probably be as long or longer than this chapter. Of course, I won't continue if ya'll absolutely hate it. There will be more excitement, trust me! I won't really have a fixed schedule for a while so yeah…

Please give me feedback on how I can improve, but don't be all like "This is the most absolute worse thing I've ever read" but I'm not gonna say "if you don't like, don't read" (sorry, I just did DX).

Plus, I would like to dedicate this story to my dad. I know it's not MY setting/characters/other stuff, but he's been really amazing lately so, even though he won't read this, I want to do something for him. Love you, Daddy! XD

And thank you for reading my rather long author's note

I do not own Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler or any of its characters, as much as I would like to.
