The following day Maylene, Bard, and Finny all awoke with a mission: Deliver the letters! Maylene put on her blue maids outfit and tied her hair up in two pigtails then adorned her huge rounded glasses, Bard put on his chef's outfit with his signature goggles and popped a cig in his mouth, Finny clipped his hair in place with his red clips, put on his usual outfit with his large straw hat hanging behind his head. Bard and Maylene met in the hallway and waited for Finny, who would be carrying the massive bag filled with letters.

"Oh I do hope he isn't going to be late we must get these out early to please our beloved king."

"Yeah, leave it to Finny to be late for something as important as getting those letters. Probably flirting with that new girl, Angela."

Maylene blushed. "Oh yeah! Finny really likes her, he does, but nows not the time for romance now's the time to serve our king and country!"

"Oh hey, ain't that Finny right there? Yeah. OY FINNY! OVER HERE! HURRY UP WILL YOU! THIS IS IMPORTANT!'

Finny ran from the other end of hallway to his friends as fast as his feet could carry him with the very large, very heavy bag in one hand flailing behind him.

"Ahh Finny you're running too fast! Your gunna-"

Finny knocked over both Bard and Maylene like a bowling ball hitting two pins, a perfect spare. They all tumbled down to the ground and large amounts of the letters spilled out and were fluttering to the floor.

"Ah look what yeah did Finny, you're almost as bad as Maylene. No offense."

"None taken…I just can't help myself I'm very clumsy I am. I gots two left feet I does."

"Gosh Guys I'm real sorry. I didn't mean to. Sometimes I just don't know my own strength I 'spose."

"Yeah but now look the letters are everywhere. Guess we'll just have to pick them all up and put them in the bag."

The three bumbling servants proceeded in finding, picking up, and placing every letter back in the bag then Finny carried the bag out the door with his friends in tow.

"Alright we're gunna get all these delivered TODAY! FOR OUR KING AND COUNTRY!"

"Right! FOR KING AND COUNTRY!"

The three set off to deliver the letters to each person in the kingdom, it was hard work but somebody had to do it. In Cindergrella's house her step-family was upstairs with the ambassador of France, Monsieur Debouir.

"Now Monsieur, I'm sure you know that the Phantomhive-Trancy company has been around for many, many years and is a fast growing and profitable company. We at the Phantomhive-Trancy company would believe we would all benefit if you would join us in a unified partnership, Monsieur Debouir," Stated Ciel.

He sat in front of a game board; Ciel was a great lover of strategy games smiling listlessly at the man in front of him, William stood behind him with his hand on Ciel's shoulder. William was an extremely proud father and he always said Ciel was strictly business but Alois loved to play. Ciel was much like William, very stern and serious. Alois sat with his legs crossed on the table and smiling seductively with mischievous mirth in his eyes.

"Surely you must be joking William, Letting a child handle all the business? Why can't you and I settle this like men?"

"I'm as serious as a heart attack. My Ciel is more of a man that any man on the street."

"But he is just a little boy."

"I'd watch the way you talk to big brother like that Mister Debouir, especially around me. I suggest you cut the foreplay and just take our offer."

"Now Alois, that isn't any way to treat our Guest."

"But father he is making Big brother so angry."

"Never you mind, Alois I'll be fine. Mister Debouir do you like…games?"

Both Alois and William shared a dark, secrete smile that was masked by a dark shadow of doom over their face.

"Games? Well I should say so since my company does make toys and such for children."

"Why don't we play this little game of mine?"

"Playing games? Doing business with a child is one thing, Monsieur Spears but to play games-"

"Whatever my Ciel wants is whatever my Ciel gets. Surely you wouldn't object to the eldest heir to the Phantomhive-Trancy fortune?"

"You'd be a fool to deny big brother. If you make big brother sad…I'll kill you."

Alois narrowed his sharp, radiant blue eyes, licked his teeth, and smiled in a very naughty, malicious fashion.

"Alois, I raised you better than to make threats at company. We must, as I've repeated numerous times, treat our guest with the utmost respect."

The man decided to endeavor in this game but as he started playing and looked at it he realized this was no game for a child to be playing.

"You've fallen into the chasm of death for one turn."

In his next turn his arm was ripped off by an angry forest troll, then he got lost in the woods of despair, then three possessed demons chased him to the cave of a thousand screams and finally he was electrocuted by the mighty god of storm.

"What kind of game is this? This is most disturbing!"

"I rather like games, so indulge me."

"No! I will not take orders form a child. You can keep your games and your company but I will be no part of it. Bonjour Monsieur Spears."

"He's going to regret that. Isn't he big brother?"

"Hmm. We shall see, Alois. Now kindly get off my lap."

"Aww Big brother doesn't like me sitting on his lap anymore? We used to do this a lot back when we were kids."

William suppressed a smile. They still were kids.

"Well I suppose it's time to give our guest the proper treatment."

Monsieur Debouir walked out of the room but the front door was locked so he went out the back door. He tripped and fell into the family pool and after countless struggling to get out he finally was on dry land and kept walking in the sunlight, to dry himself. Suddenly he had a massive cramp in his arm he realized it must be from the struggle to swim out of the humongous and very deep pool then he realized…his arm was broken!

Things were becoming eerily strange to him. Was it a coincidence that he fell in a pool like falling in the chasm of death in the game? His arm being broken like it had been ripped off by an angry forest troll? He ran blindly in one direction trying to get away but realized he was lost in a forest! It was all too familiar. Out of the dark came three men that looked exactly the same, their red eyes seemingly glowing, they started chasing him into the garden shed. Three possessed demons! The shed was silent, though; no screaming so at least it wasn't like the game where it was a cave of a thousand screams.

"My, my, what have we here? Seems our guest has gotten himself in the forest of despair but what is this? He is in the cave of a thousand screams and it is silent…we can fix that."

The man turned to see William holding two sparking electric plugs.

"You know I've always been fascinated by the weather especially bad weather and electricity…"

God of storm! William advanced on the poor man and stuck those wires into the man's body. His screams echoed and were heard within the entire household. Both Alois and Ciel smiled hearing the screams. This was their beautiful melody, a man screaming. Cindergrella heard the screams as well but had grown accustomed to the sick games his step-family played and continued to sweep the floor.

"You know he wasn't really as fun as the last one, now I'm bored."

"But now he will know never to mess with the Phantomhive-Trancy company and maybe he'll reconsider our generous offer."

"Who says he will be alive to do so?"

"Yes of course. He's most likely deceased."

"His death will come as a bit of a …shock."

Alois tossed his head back and laughed at his own joke, Ciel chuckled a little and William, who now stood present and clean of any blood, smiled slightly. Yes just another ordinary day in their household. The doorbell rang.

"Cindergrella! Get the door!"

Cindergrella threw down the broom and put his hands on his hips.

"Do this. Do that. I need a god damn break," He fumed under his breath.

He opened the door to see a young boy with a straw hat, a girl with big glasses and a very roguishly handsome young man with a cigarette in his mouth.

"OOH! You're a cutie!"

Cindergrella clung onto the man and rubbed his face on the man's chest.

"Oh my! 'Scuze me sir but we have an urgent message from his highness," cried Maylene

"Quiet missy can't you see I'm…wait…his Highness? As in….the king?"

"No we mean the friggen Easter bunny! Of course the king! Now get the hell off me! I do NOT swing that way."

"Ooh touchy! Rawr!"

Cindergrella pawed the air like a playful cat and winked.

"Please sir, if you would just take the letter. It's very important, it is! We have lots of other houses to deliver to we does," Said Maylene

"Oh very well if it's important. You will visit me again though, won't you my rugged Casanova?"

Bard twitched, pushed the love-struck, flamboyant man back inside the house with the letter, slammed the door and ran as fast as he could. Cindergrella fumed unhappily then stomped upstairs. He knocked on the door of the room his step-family was in.

"Come in," Sounded Will.

"It's a message from the king. They said it was urgent."

"The king? Let me see that."

He opened the letter and read it. His eyes widened.

"What does it say, daddy?"

"There's going to be a ball for the Prince's birthday and every eligible maid and man is to attend!"

"OOH A BALL! I just love balls, the gowns, the jewelry, the music, the dancing."

"It would be a good opportunity to chat with some of the social elite and aristocrats."

"Not only that but it says the prince will most likely be choosing his bride at the ball!"

"BRIDE! You mean whoever he chooses gets to be…future ruler of our country! Hah…well that's me."

"What makes you so sure?"

"I'm sexy. Who can resist the great Alois Trancy?"

"We will see, brother. Whichever of us he chooses will further better our companies either way. Much profit, fame and prosperity would come with the marriage. Yes, this will be very good for business."

"Screw your business! I'm going to be a queen!"

Alois spun around his brother with a rose in his mouth the clapped his hands and shouted, "OLE!"

"Now wait just one second," interrupted Cindergrella, "Now, it said EVERY eligible maid or man. Well I'm eligible so doesn't that mean I can go?"

"YOU? Who would want a scrawny pathetic useless thing like you?"

"Alois is right. You're not ruler material…the prince would never pick you. Besides you can't even dance."

"He might hire you to be his servant, if you're lucky why if I were-"

"Boys…now we must be fair. Cindergrella is eligible and is part of our family so he can go."

"Your damn right I can! Wait…are you serious I can! YES!"

"But only IF you get every chore done and find something suitable to wear."

"Oh yes. I can do that!"

Cindergrella skipped happily out of the room with a smile showing off his deadly sharp teeth.

"What did you do that for? Now he's going to ruin everything!" Yelled Alois

"You shouldn't have let him come. He will just be a thorn in our side. A very ugly thorn."

"Children, have you lost your hearing? I said 'IF'"

"Oh that's right…if. Haha. Let's just seem him try to get all the chores done," Alois whispered.

With the way things were going Cindergrella would not get to the ball at all if her step-family had anything to say about it but they weren't counting on was the chance of the impossible to happen…with a little help from three triplets and somebody with enough magic to make all Cindergrella's dreams come true.
