It was in the middle of the night. Sebastian sat at his master's desk while his master was asleep in his bedroom, sorting out tomorrow's schedule for the young earl and reading documents he gathered from the Undertaker.
Something caught Sebastian's eye. A purple dusty stain on the bottom-right corner of one of the papers.
"A stain?" Sebastian wondered.
Sebastian rubbed the stain and examined his gloved fingertips close to his face, accidentally inhaling the purple dust.
Sebastian's pupils dilated and his face became blank.

Ciel rolled around in his bed in annoyance, tightly shutting his eyes to resume sleep. Light leaking from the curtains kept annoying his slumber. He then squinted at the curtains. Ciel reached over to the counter next to the bed, reaching for his eyepatch and tying it onto his contract and around his head. He then slowly arose from the queen sized bed. He slowly walked over to the curtains, half asleep, and tugged them open. The window had a view of the sun, bright and shining. Birds in the trees that surrounded the manor chirped happily. Ciel quietly gasped, his eyes in deep shock. Ciel rushed over to the grandfather clock across the bedroom. He looked at the time.
"9:56?!"
"Goddamn it," Ciel said under his breath.
"SEBASTIAN!" Ciel screamed in rage. His scream echoed through the estate and the surrounding woods. The birds stopped chirping.
Sebastian usually awakes Ciel at 8:00 AM sharp and has a trolley of tea ready for him besides his bed, but not this morning. This morning was different.
Ciel slammed open his door and ran down the stairs, screaming Sebastian's name.
"SEBASTIAN! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Ciel ran into the kitchen, where the other Phantomhive servants were.
"Where is Sebastian?" Ciel said, annoyed.
"Aw, young master looks so cute in his night gown!" Finnian pointed out.
"Shut up! Where's Sebastian? Have you any of you him lately? And why haven't you woken me up if Sebastian didn't?"
"Aw yes, Young Master! I saw Sebastian, doing incredible things, yes I did! Sebastian told us not to bother you, sir!" Mey-rin squeaked.
"Amazing things?..." Ciel questioned.
"Yeah! We saw him just a second ago, hangin' on the chandelier like a monkey in the amazon!" Bard said.
"You've got to be joking. Stop saying such foolish things. A Phantomhive butler would have more respect for themselves then let themselves sit around and play. Now stop dawdling, tell me where Sebastian really is!" Ciel demanded.
"But young master! We aren't lyin'! Come look!" Finnian pulled Ciel by the arm into the main room where the opening of the mansion and the elegant staircase were. Mey-rin and Bard followed along.
"Look up there!" Bard shouted, while looking up at the chandelier
Ciel, Finnian and Mey-rin looked up in shock.
"LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN, FALLING DOWN, FALLING DOWN!" Sebastian sang, horribly and obnoxiously while hanging on the chandelier by his knees.
"Sebastian! Get down this instance!" Ciel interrupted his singing.
Sebastian dropped from the chandelier perfectly onto his feet, just like a cat, right in front of Ciel.
"Why didn't you wake me up?! You know my schedule stats at 8:00 AM sharp everyday! We have a contract that you never disobey my orders! What's wrong with y-"
Before Ciel could finish his bickering and shouting, Sebastian slapped him right across the face without emotion or regret.
Mey-rin fainted, Finnian gasped in horror, and Bard just stood there, completely shocked.
Ciel's cheek was covered in the purple dust that was on Sebastian's finger tips. Ciel could smell the purple dust from his cheek. His eyes began to dilate and he started rolling on the floor, laughing like a mad man.
Sebastian did the same, along with his young master.
"MYYYYY FAAAAAAAAAAIR LAAAAAADY!" Ciel sung, off key.
Sebastian put Ciel onto his back, and they ran out of the Phantomhive manor.
"LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN, FALLING DOWN, FALLING DOWN!" They both sang together, as they ran off into the distance.
"But, but... Young master was still in his nightgown and wee slippers!" Mey-rin blurted.
"What the hell just happend?.." Bard asked in shocked.
"Where are they going? If they go to town, the Phantomhive name will be smeared into the newspapers with embarrassment!" Finnian cried out.
"Ho, Ho, Ho." Tanaka said, sitting in the corner of the room with a cup of tea.
