Chapter 3
Before the show
Finally, the sun had set down on the horizon. Carnival lights turning on, the unsecure rides starting up, one at a time. Music started to play and noises of children laughter was heard here and there, surrounding the grounds with the atmosphere of happiness. The tall man with orange hair walked out and looked around searching for those eyes. A tug was felt on his pants as his eyes traveled down and smiled down to a little girl "why? Hello love where is your mummy and daddy?" she tilted her head to the side and stretched out her hands, begging to be picked up, tears slowly to beginning to surface. "There, there love calm down" gentle as if she were a feather he picked her up and placed her on his shoulders. He swiftly walked through the slowly growing crowds of the fair grounds. "Now where was your mummy last?" the small little one pointed towards the entrance where a woman and a man with scowls etched on their faces stood. Joker sprinted towards the couple and tapped on the man's shoulders "Excuse me, but I believe this little beauty is yours." After the quick reunion between the family, He walked back towards the tents until he heard the crunching of feet behind him. Looking over his shoulder he smiled at the young earl. "Aye! You made it! And dressed for the occasion!" he bended down and let his eyes scan him for he was wearing carnival wear.
The young Phantomhive just let his scowl deepen etched onto his smooth skin. The man clad in black stood next to him, silent as he observed the scene taking place in front of him. It felt disgusting, just like back at the Mansion. Sebastian let his eyes drift towards a young boy with brown hair and freckles, maybe female. He decided to leave his master for the time being and see what this young brat wanted. Quickly he stood in front of the young female; he determined this by the scent she was wearing. "Hello there, you are very horrible at being discreet young one." She stared through his eyes and replied softly "You are not what you seem." With those words she turned and walked away before turning around and smiling brightly "Enjoy the show!" he went back to his stoic look and walked back standing silently on the side of his lord.
"NO!" the giggles of joker could be heard miles away. Apparently when his butler decided to go check on the spying female, the orange haired male asked Ciel if he wanted to be part of the show but on one condition that he must smile. "I don't have to smile for you!" joker just grinned like the Cheshire cat he was and shrugged his shoulders "suite yourself, but if you do I can give you information the queen is looking for." The nagging feeling in the young lords' head was chewing him out and finally he let out a breath. "Fine." Joker cheered and clapped, dancing around the tent and finally bended down to peck the young boys cheek "See you out there!" red bloomed across his face while his hand rubbed his cheek "Gross." Sebastian just let out a chuckle while Ciel gave him an angry pout. "Do not worry my lord, you look cute." Pinching his cheek "let go, you assbutt! "Swatting his hand away from his face.
As the show was about to start Joker came back to the young lord and his demon. "Let us all break a leg tonight!" until he saw that he interrupted the earl's and his fiancée's meeting. If you could call it that since it was Elizabeth just squeezing the daylights out of her soon to be husband. "...Good luck!" and he went back to his tent. "Joker!" the voice of a young girl called out "yes, Doll?" he replied "who are those people?" he turned towards the female and winked "Just a dog and his demon hound."
