The day had finally come, time seem so quick for its arrival. If you could just lay here in bed all day, and hope it would just blow over or even better...fly away. It seem so easy and yet feeble. Such a thought, that was now was in the past. The strain and pressure was enough to make you want to explode. How many hours was there left before everyone arrived? Taking a quick glance at the clock in your room, there was a good amount of time before they'd be here. Which meant, in the mean time, those who had been called and hired to help with this day would be here soon. The extra help, looking down at them from your window. Some had arrived already, at this time. Beldory was down there giving orders and directing them on where to go.

Looking back the clock, wishing to have the ability to halt time, would be really handy right now. With a heavy sigh, stand up straight from the weight upon your shoulders. Of this curse of kindness, given by Angelina, Madame Red. Turn around and stand right before her. You could feel her smiling down at you, proud and with love. Just as she had done, since the years you'd known her. Lifting your head to her, with a scornful and pleading eyes. Her red eyes soften upon you, with regret even as she smiled. She touches the side of your face, gently before fading away.

"Excuse me, Baroness?"Mey-Rin calls from the other side of the door. Lightly knocking."I've come to get you."She waited for your given permission.

Without any choice, allowed it.


Harmony was just taken by all the preparations being done to the manor, for tonight. The colors being used, the curtains being exchanged. Everything was transforming before her amber eyes. Her mouth remained gap open, with a huge smile on. As she watched from above through the railings of the main stairs at everything going on. There where so many people here. Busy at work and doing as they where paid. Hustling and bustling, adhering to the orders given by Sebastian who calmly managed it. Clinging to her bunny, moves a little bit watching some others. When Sebastian suddenly wen to the door, he was talking to someone, adverting her eyes back to the help. She just couldn't believe it, all this was done for her. And her sister. It was amazing and fanatic, all at once, if she wasn't terrified and nervous. Her little hands trembled, as she clenched her toy more. A pit in her stomach, wasn't from breakfast this morning.

No. She couldn't be like this. She be afraid, she had to smile and keep smiling. All that was being done. Recounting those words in her mind, pushing herself to accept it. Smiles.

"This will be so much fun."She tells herself. When a shadow cast over her, her eyes look up finding to her surprise, Tanaka. In full form, looking down at her with a warm smile."Mr. Tanaka?"

He holds out hand for her."Why, my lady Harmony, you should not on the floor like this."He tells her, helping her up. Dusting her off."You'll ruin your outfit and hurt your delicate knees."

"Sorry."She apologizes, turns back to down below."There are so many people here."

"Yes. The master has hired extra help for this occasion. It is very important. So it must be absolutely perfect."

She hears his words, which didn't really help her rising anxiety."...Mr. Tanaka?"He looks down at her. Her lips pressed together. He waited patiently for her say what she wanted."Never mind."

"Are you sure?"He asked, seeing the importance still in her eyes. She slowly nods her head."Alright then, well, we must allow everyone to do their job. Come."Taking her hand gently guides her away."There is much you must do to, to get ready."

"Okay."

The two walk down the hall, silence between them. The walk seem longer for some reason, Harmony realized. She stops and looks up hearing familiar footsteps coming. Tanaka bows respectfully, while greeting them.

"Baroness."

You stop and greet him back, with Mey-Rin by your side. When you notice Harmony. Sensing something wrong, go to her."Harmony? Are you alright?"

She seem rather surprised, the deep concern in your eyes was what she focused on. You waited patiently for her to tell you. She though instead smiles."Yes! I am! Did you see all the helpers!? Down stairs? They're all here to help."She squeals. Twirling around."Tonight is going to be really, really fun."

"Yes. I suppose it will be."You agree, standing back up."I do have some wonderful news, I just have a little bit left to do and might be able to have lunch together. Doesn't that wonderful."

"It does! But, the party is more important. I will eat with Ciel."

"O-Oh. Are you sure?"

She smiles nodding her head."Yes. Mr. Tanaka, could I try on my dress Miss Nina made? Please?"Looking to him.

"Why of course."He bows to you, excusing himself and takes Harmony to her room.

Just as you said, there was still work that needed to be done. Making your way down stairs to over see anything. As it was custom, even Sebastian was over seeing everything. You just wanted to make sure it was all going to be perfect, for your sister's sake. You wanted to make sure she dazzled, like in a Fairy Tale. You wanted to see the joy spread all across her face. This was her moment, even if you where also apart of it. It was meant for her. So far everything was going well, nothing out of place. A few of the workers came to double check with you, that it was alright. Which you confirmed it was. Time was thinning, it just rushed by. It was hard for you not to remain fixated up on it. Every single clock. Each tic was stronger than the last.

A weary and nervous sigh escaped your lips, it was here now. Guest would be arriving soon. The whole manor was lite, you saw in the distance the approaching carriages coming. For some reason, you where trying to locate either Lizzie's or Soma's. But, it was hard to pinpoint them when your mind was restless. Mey-Rin helped you get ready, Sebastian no doubt was helping Ciel or he finished and went to help Harmony.

"Baroness? Are you alright?"Mey-Rin notices your rather distant look. As she brushed your hair.

"Hm? I am alright."You mumble."Just..Just thinking that is all."

She seem to take your answer."Your gown looks rather lovely on you. Baroness."She said cheerfully. Trying to lighten the current mood. You give her a small thank you smile. "I know all that you did is going to pay off. Everyone is going to love and enjoy tonight. Lady Harmony is going to be surprised. That she will."

Hearing that made you smile."I do hope so."

"There."She finishes your hair. Just as someone knocks on your door.

"Harmony."It was Ciel. He had come to get you."Are you ready? The guest are here."

Getting up from your seat before the vanity, walk to the door. Mey-Rin opens it for you, thanking her, find Ciel before you. Dressed and ready. In the same color. Just Lizzie wanted. He looked dignified and handsome. Of course, he was use to this life. The way he looked up at you, he seem rather surprised and impressed. Even with rather emotionless expression.

"Yes."

He steps aside for you to step out and you both head to Harmony's room.


The guest had arrived, all who accepted the invite. Though some where there for the festivities, while others mummer with anticipation upon meeting and finding out the Earl had cousins. All though wanted to see and meet them. Each which their own idea of what they might look like. Rumors and words sprung around like wild fire. Gossiping here and there. It was merely common, though some did not take to kindly to them.

"How dare they say such things about my bride!"Soma enraged by the comments he heard. Agni did his best to calm the prince."May is nothing of the sort. They are all blinded fools."

He accuses them."Calm yourself, my prince."Angi tells him."Do not let their words effect you."

"I will not allow May's honor and reputation to be tarnished in such a cruel and disrespectful manner. I will defend her purity!"He spews, Agni again tries to calm him down. Reminding him this was not the place. Which worked."Yes, you are right."Settling down."I must remain strong for her. This her moment and Harmony's."

Not to far away, Lizzie stood with her family, her whole family. Her eyes loved what she saw. The decorations, everything. It was just as she imagined it to be. Perhaps this was May's favorite color.

Though most importantly, she could not wait to see the outfits in which Ciel, May and Harmony wore. The color that was chosen. Nina assured her it would be beyond the wonders of eyes. Whatever that meant."I do hope Harmony looks adorable."She expresses. Becoming delighted at the thought."She'll be the most cute one in the room, of course next to me."Saying the last part a bit vainly.

"There are quite a good amount of people here."Edwards notices looking around. Seeing some familiar faces."Everyone seems rather anxious upon the introduction."

"What is taking them so long?!"Lizzie impatient.

Edward gets ready to calm her down, when a hush sweeps over the guest. Everyone's attention falls onto Ciel, who stood over the crowd at the top and center of the stairs. Commanding attention. Sebastian made his way up to him, and stood by his side. Bowing to the earl.

Ciel was dressed in a sovereign high collared deep, rich and dark magenta tail coat, with white regency shirt; cavalier vest of matching as the tailcoat, dark trousers, with a jabot attached to the shirt. Dark laced up shoes, with matching gloves and cane with silver upon the top and wrapped around it. The pentacle of distinguish dignified for someone of his status.

All eyes admired and fancied him."Welcome, my esteem guest."He addresses everyone. His voice filled up the room."I thank you for coming and accepting my invention. On this most well deserved and meaningful occasion. Around three months ago, I graciously bestowed two wonderful cousins. Upon my care. They have not been introduced into the world, for I, as any loving cousin felt compelled to shield and protect these two jewels."

Tender aw's and praises came from the guest. Ciel continued. He even gives a smile."Yes, thank you. Even so, it would be consider selfish of me for denying the world such beautiful jewels. My cousins are truly dear to my heart, please,"he holds out his left hand and turns ever so slightly left looking in that direction of the stairs. On that cue Sebastian makes his way up."My youngest and sweetest cousin, Harmony Dallas-Burnett."

That was her cue, hearing it, the girl boldly and delicately ascends down the stairs from the left. Meeting with Sebastian who escorted the rest of the way. Her mind commanded her legs not to hop down the steps. Like she loved doing. It was not the time. Feeling all eyes upon her, she shuttered just a little. Easing from the gentle, assuring squeeze from Sebastian. She looks up at him, he flashes her a smile. Then looks straight ahead. She does the same.

Carefully holding the side of her dress, pinching delicately. She looked like a little lady. Adorned in silk sleeveless dress, with floral raschel lace features woven in. A rose slash around her waist, opera silk gloves. A laced choker of matching color. Roses accenting in her hair, that was done a elegant bun with curls fallen on either side of her face. With bouncy, she looked like a porcelain doll. With her fair skin, ink black hair and amber eyes. Sebastian passes her to Ciel.

Who takes her hand and welcomes her. That was her cue again, Baldory, along with Paula and the others out of view, but could still see her. Saw her freeze up for a second. She was nervous. They saw it in her eyes, she was scared. Snake could see her lip quivering as her eyes seem to well up. The wider they became. Lizzie, Soma and Angi saw too. Her eyes stared blankly.

"We've got to do something."Mey-Rin tells the others worried. Getting ready to go to the girls aid.

Baldory stops her. She was surprised. About to object, when Finny chanted in a whisper for the girl."Come on, Lady Harmony. You can do it. You can do it."

"You can do it."Baldory joins him, along with Snake and Paula. Understanding, Mey-Rin cheers for the girl as well. Each of them praying this subtle encouragement would help her. Lizzie did the same thing along with Soma and Agni.

Standing next to Ciel, Harmony swallows gripping his hand a little tighter and curtsies to everyone. In the cutest and heart melting voice,"Hello,"she projects her voice."my name is Harmony Dalles-Burnett. It is a pleasure, to meet everyone."Dropping her head, quickly look to Sebastian who coached her through, giving him a smile. Everyone applauds, even Ciel.

"Well done."He whispers to her."Now,"he raises his voice to introduce his second and last cousin. Turning to his right, holding out his hand. Sebastian did the same and went up to wait."Please, allow me to introduce my second and older cousin-"

Soma puts all his focus in that direction. Lizzie too. Edward follows her eyes.

"May Dallas-Burnett."CIel finishes.

Harmony turns around to see and her mouth nearly dropped as a huge smile lite upon her face. She couldn't believe what her eyes where seeing. It was the breath taking. Soma felt his cheeks flare up on the sight, he too was in awe. His eyes widen with every step take, and every beat his heart pumped. He stood there lost, in the light before him. So delicate. So gentle. Like a naked moon in the sky upon the lake's reflection. Enchanting and alluring. He saw something different.

"...Agni.."He calls to him."...She's..."There where no words that could be formed. None at all. Agni saw the prince was ensnared, no, captivated. The way he stood straight and like a man in love. The warm and loving smile he had.

He was not the only one either. Mummers where whispered around. Placing your hand softly on Ciel's, you smile at him tilting your head just a little. Turn your eyes to everyone, who held their breath's upon the gaze you cast. Ciel allows you to step forward. Just about half a foot. You remembered.

The dress was just perfect on you. Lizzie stood revered looking at you. Nina did an outstanding job with everything, with your dress. Gown. It was off the shoulders neckline, with ribbon instead of lace around the edges, the main color showed with a delicate white-cream underneath. It fit well around you, it was smooth and ran down well. Drawing attention to your figure, choker to match, with a silver pendent in the center. Your hair was done in sweet and side-sweep, resting on your left shoulder, with a hand craved silver hair broach behind your hair, keeping it in place. With cuts of jewels the same color as your dress woven in it. Patterns nearly matching the ones in your dress.

All eyes on you, you present yourself formally and proper. A small courtesy smile upon your colored glossed lips."It is a pleasure to meet you all."You curtsy the right way. Not a single thing out of place. Her eyes shifted a little. They kept moving over to you. She watched you, so well-mannered and graceful.

The smile you had on, lite up the presence in the room. Harmony knew all eyes had left her and solely focused on her angelic sister.
