June 3 1888. London, England.
A year had passed now yet it felt no different from the year prior or at least in for everyone throughout London.
"Honestly of times to rain it had to be today?" Zoey grumbled as she and the guests were rushed inside the manor. The day had been completely clear not one cloud or rumble of thunder; until everything outside had been set up and guests arrive then without warning the sky turned dark and rain poured with no mercy.
"Just calm down, everything can still continue inside the salon." Noah said, wasting no time decorating the room. Zoey frowned with her arms crossed as she watched her butler take control of things.
"Better outside." She mumbled sitting on steps of the stairs, Ciel sat next to her watching as Noah worked.
"Here" He placed a small blue wrapped box in her lap, he keep his eye on her as she torn into the wrapping paper even the pretty white bow wasn't spared. Zoey's expression was slightly laughable as she held two black earrings, "Since you seem to wear black mostly I've figured that be the color you'd want."
"They are pretty, thank you Ciel." Zoey hugged him from the side.
"Yes. You are welcomed." Ciel replied, just sitting there like a statue.
"All finished." The duo heard Noah announce; the dreary looking saloon was decorated with blue and black tiers, a huge white banner with dark writing displaying the words 'Happy Birthday.' Something cold landed on Ciel's hand, inspecting he realized it was, "Snow?" He spoke dumbfound, why would there be snow during June? Farther more inside the manor. He glanced up seeing snow was falling from thin air, he heard titter Zoey next to him she was cover with little white flakes grinning ear to ear.
"Yeah, Noah can do the neatest things." She said vaguely.
"May I inquire why he would make it snow?"
"It's stupid, but when I was little it was my birthday and it was very hot, I said I wish it would snow or something to make it cooler. Well Noah made it happen and ever since then it's been a custom to make snow on my birthday." She got up going to the middle of the room where the floor was now entirely white. She dropped down on her knees, gathering some snow up in her hands.
"I don't recall ever seeing such a thing when Lizzie and I would come for your birthday when we were children." Ciel stated.
"Well of course, silly. That would come off as odd would it not? But I suppose given our standing it's not no longer."
"Hm. I guess you are right." Ciel nodded with agreement."
Zoey laughed, "Of course I am." She stood up, her black dress now covered in snow. She looked over her shoulder at Ciel who now occupied dusting off some snow on his clothes. "Hey." She drawled out.
"Wha-" A huge ball of snow hit Ciel right in his face proceed by fits of giggles from Zoey. Ciel wiped the snow off his face it was apparent by the Earl's glowing red face he did not get any amusement from it but it didn't stop his fiancée's. "Why on earth did you do that!"
"Aw! Stop being so grumpy." Zoey waved him off. "Not like it hurt you."
"Really now?" Ciel scooped a huge bit of snow making into, standing up he throw it right at her head. The snow made contact with Zoey's hair, squealing playfully when it had. She shook the snow off similar to that of a wet dog, her eyes glowed fuchsia and her lips curled into evil smile. It was then Ciel realized he started something he did not want, "Ow! Stop that right now! Zoey!" He tried shielding himself from the oncoming snow, being launched by Zoey at lightning speed.
Standing in dining room doorway was Noah holding a plate with a huge chocolate cake with strawberries and fourteen candles alongside him was Sebastian who had amused look on his face. "I must say I think young master will be rethinking what he does with Lady Zoey in the future."
"It doesn't take much with Lady Zoey, plus Earl Phantomhive is something new to play with." Noah chuckled.
"Indeed."
"Well so much for a picnic." Finny said pulling the blanket over his and Rosaline's head in attempt to keep the rain off them.
Rosaline smiled scooting closer to Finny, "Doesn't matter." She said.
Even with overly strict orders from Earl Phantomhive for Finny to stay away from the stepsister of Earl Trancy on his days him and Rosaline would plan something on Finny's day off and away from prying eyes. Therefore, anything they planned was in the woods, rare anyone would come out there. However, the rain had put a slight damper on things.
"Yeah I suppose." Finny's eyes found the now grown up rabbit Bronwyn hopping around playing with another white rabbit. "Their so cute."
"They are." Rosaline nodded with agreement. "Do you think maybe they are mates?"
"Don't know, maybe." Finny said, Bronwyn and the other rabbit suddenly stopped playing and took off in the other direction. "Uh that was odd."
"Yes." The sounds of branches and grass stepped on echoed, "F-Finny?" Rosaline tugged the gardener's shirt.
"I hear it, maybe somebody passing by." Finny tried assuring her.
"But-" Finny lightly touched her cheek, moving her face so she would like at him.
"Just calm down." The sounds of had stopped. "You see nothing? Now let's-"
"Finny!" Rosaline screamed seeing a black shadow loom over him, before anything could happen a rag was placed over his mouth, Finny's was instantly knocked out. Witnessing it Rosaline tried backing away just to be yanked up by the hair. "Ow! Stop it!"
"Stop it you say…." A voice replied slyly. 'Oh no.' Rosaline's just froze already knowing there was nothing to be done. "Dear sister we are just getting started." Alois whispered in her ear.
A/N-That is done and done! I finally wrote something with Finny and Rosaline in it, I'll admit it I actually forgot about them. Heh…*sweatdrops* I had trouble with this chapter mostly because I couldn't figure out had to start it and I've been trying to work on another project. I want to use a completely different plot, Zoey and Noah again but unlike this story I want to be more…serious and such. Not that I don't like this one it's just, I see where a lot of work is needed. *Sigh*
So with that updates may run slower, also I'm not sure if Rosaline and Finny are going to keep up their little appearances. Going back forth between couples is a lot harder than I honestly thought it be.
Please remember to review! I'd love to hear your thoughts!
See ya next chapter, buh-bye!
