Episode 1: Ciel and Claude!

A puff of blue smoke and Ciel landed in his chair and Claude tripped over the cart Sebastian had left behind. Sean Swanky walked through the door with a camera man two steps behind him.

Sean fixed his hair and dramatically spun to face the camera.

"Good evening my lovely audience!" He smiled, "This season features the butlers of the Phantomhive and Trancy families! Which butler will be the first to crack under the pressure of their new master?" Sean motioned towards a Claude dusting himself off and a Ciel who was already bored and going over many different reports.

Claude looked unsure towards the camera then marched to Ciel's side.

Ciel already had his tea and cakes before him, so Claude just bowed and said, "Will their be anything else your highness?"

Ciel screwed up his face in thought, taping the corner of a page to his lips.

"Yes," he smiled, a wicked grin sliding over his face, " Stop calling me 'highness'. Im not that flamboyant idiot. Go sweep out the cellar, beat the rugs from the main hall, check on the others and make sure they're doing their jobs right, so that probably means your gonna do their jobs for them, and prepare my evening supper since we all know Bard will just blow everything up. Oh and then check the grounds for any trespassers and deal with them accordingly. Then report here for my supper. You have three hours, GO!"

"What?" Claude cried but sped out of the room anyway with Sean and the camera man close behind.

"Finally," Ciel sighed leaning back in his chair, "Peace and quiet!"

Claude pushed the cart down the hall in a blaze, looking for a hall closet or something to put it in.

So of course he didn't notice Meyrin step in his path until he'd collided with her.

"Ahh!" she screamed.

"Watch where your going!" Claude cried, picking the cart up and breezing down the hallway.

"Sebastian!" Meyrin called, waving her fist in the air.

"Hmm..." she muttered, "Did he look different?"

"Yes. Yes he did!" Sean barked as they ran past, knocking the poor maid down again.

Claude had finished alot of his chores in record time and was working on Ciel's dinner, steak and potatoes, when Bard slammed into the kitchen, nearly taking out Sean and the camera man.

"Ahh! Watch where your going you flaming-"

"One more word and I blast your-"

"SEBASTIAN!" Mey-rin and Finny came running through the dorr, smacking both Bard and Sean into the wall.

"Don't record that!" Sean choked out from under Bard's elbow.

Snickering, the camera man turned back to Claude.

"SEBASTIA-!" Mey-rin stopped when she got a close up look at Claude's face.

"Your not Sebastian!" Finny cried, hiding behind Mey-rin anyway.

"No. I'm not that idiotic, clingy, self-starving demon!" Claude gripped, turning back to his dinner prepartations.

"Demon?" Finny whispered.

"Must be a Butler insult." Mey-rin shrugged.

"And these two are clueless as ever!" Sean announced heartliy infront of the camera, his hair and suit noticably out of place.

"Hey! I'm not done with you!" Bard shouted, weilding his rifle like a club at Sean who ducked just in time.

The cameraman sighed, "This always happens." He shook his head and returned to the important action.

"Hey I'm important!" Sean shouted, then got hit by Bard's rifle and went down hard.

"So, what happened to Sebastian?" Finny asked.

Claude sighed, these guys were annoying.

Then something popped into his mind.

"Did you finish your chores?" He asked.

All three of the servants froze in place, a sweat drop sliding down their heads.

WHAM! Sean got in a lucky shot.

"HAHA! Once again, Sean Swanky is triumphant! Let the world applaude me as I-"

"ENOUGH! You!" He pointed his knife towards Finny, "What's your job?"

"Gardner." Finny squeaked, "And I came in here to tell Sebastian Pluto set fire to the trees outlining the grounds again!"

"DID YOU PUT IT OUT?"Claude screamed.

"Yes." Finny said shrinking, "But not before he got to Master's favorite flowers."

"So why are you telling me?"

"Well," Finny swayed back and forth, "Sebastian usually helps fix these kinds of problems."

"So he babysits as well?" Claude deadpanned.

The trees were scorched and the leaves turned to ash.

Basically, the trees were ruined...

Claude sighed and rubbed his temples. What to do?

"Uggh... You, Blondie!" Both Finny and Bard pointed at themselves.

"The idiotic one who did this!"

Finny smiled, then snapped out of it when he registered the insult.

"Go somewhere else away from the trees!" Finny deflated, trudging off slowly.

"And you!" He pointed at Bard, "Go finsih the master's dinner!" Bard's eyes lit up with excitment as he blazed back to the kitchen.

"And you," Claude said softly, "What was your problem?"

"Ah, I dropped another tea set." Mey-rin squeaked.

Claude sighed. Great.

"Go clean it up!"

Mey-rin nodded and ran off to the house.

Claude then turned to the ruined trees. He ran to the shed and grabbed a long rope, then tied it to one tree and slung it through the rest of the ruined trees. Then he flipped up into the trees, landing on a branch. He started in on a tap dancing number, clicking his feet in time with the beat in his head. At the last second he began to fall back, and he grabbed a branch of his tree, taking the whole tree with it.

And since it was tied to all the other ruined trees, they were all torn down too.

"Ooh!" Sean oozed, "Smart! I wonder if Sebastian will be just as cunning!"

"I severely doubt it." Claude sneered into the camera.

Finny ran back to the edge of the forest, stopping in time before colliding with a downed tree.

"Woah!" he cried, "How'd this happen then?"

"I did what any butler would do." Claude stated, cleaning his glasses.

"Take care of this mess will you? Can you atleast manage that for me?" He snapped.

Finny went stiff, then stiffely saluted, "Yes sir!"

"We'll see." Claude trudged back to the house.

"CLAUDE!" Ciel called from the top of the stairs. He was carrying a silver tray.

On it was blackened bits of charcoal.

"What is this?"

"The remians you'd find in a fire place?"

Ciel slapped him, "No you idiot! It's my dinner! What did I say about letting Bard near it?"

Claude sighed, letting his whole torso slump over. "Sorry your highness."

Ciel slapped him again, "Don't call me that."

Claude had to make an entirely new dinner.

He gripped and grumbled through the whole ordeal, planning the best way to do away with the idiot cook when he was free of the brat upstairs.

when he'd completed it, he carried it upstairs and placed it before the earl.

He bowed, "Anything else your highness?"

Ciel through the stack of papers on his desk at Claude, "Stop calling me that!"

"Yes your highness!" Wham! came the next stack of papers!

"Now pick them up and put them back in the correct stacks."

"Yes your highness." Ciel waited until one stack was returned to its proper place before throwing it at him again.

Claude paused, grinding his teeth.

"Well? What are you waiting for?"

Claude began picking papers up again.

"Very good. I'm getting tired. Time for bed."

Ciel was easy to put to sleep. And best of all Claude could leave right after Ciel pulled the covers over himself. He didn't have to sit and babysit the child like he did Alois.

Claude creaked the door closed, then sighed. Was there anything he'd skipped over today? Could he go to bed and enjoy a luxury called sleep?

Yes. He decided, he could.

As he was walking down the servants quarters of the mansion, he saw a small shriveled form sitting against the wall holding a green cup.

"Oh. Oh. Oh." it said.

"Uh...?"

"Oh. Oh. Oh."

"Is that all you can say?"

"Oh. Oh. Oh."

"I'll take that as a yes then."

"Oh. Oh. O-"

"I get it!" Claude stomped down the hall. Maybe now he could finally go to sleep.

(Else where... ok, at the Trancy manor infront of a large box television with red horns on top near the antennaes and a red pointed tale coing out the back)

Sebastian sat on the large purple couch inbetween Hanna and Alois. Hanna kept scooting away, closer to Thompson who kept scooting closer to Canterbury. Sebastian scooted closer to her because Alois kept trying to get closer to him. So by the end of "The Butler Exchange Program"'s episode, all three were crushing Canterbury while Alois sat with most of the couch to himself.

Timeber sat on the floor. Not wanting to sit next Alois. Sebastian was just about to come join him.

"Ha ha ha!" Sebastian laughed when Ciel hit Claude for the third time, "I was so hoping my master would do something like that!"

WHAM! Alois hit Sebastian over the head with a stick.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"I'm your master now Sebby!" Alois choked, tears forming in his eyes.

"Oh boy." Sebastian sighed.

And so ends the first episode! next episode:

"Alois, what is that your holding?" Sebastian asked nervously.

"Oh this?" Alois smiled holding it up on the silver hanger higher for his Sebby to see, "It's your new uniform!"

"Ack!" Sebastian fosilized, then ran down the hall, only to be dragged back by the other servants and followed by our camera crew.

"Noooooooooo!" Came the shout from behind the closed door.
