"Where has Sebastian gone?" said Ciel, sipping his tea. Allen was folding clothes for Ciel as a favor to cheer him up.

"No clue.. I wasn't paying any attention. Sorry."

"ALLEN! LAVI AND I ARE BACK!" Lenalee called out from outside.

"It's her again?" Ciel flinched a bit. Allen went downstairs to open the door for his friends. Lenalee and Lavi entered the mansion and found Ciel walking down the stairs to meet them.

"Hello again," Ciel greeted them. "Why don't we just relax here until our faithful butler comes back, shall we?"

"Sure!" Lenalee beamed happily.

"Alright," Lavi answered.

"Hm! Ciel, I'll go find Sebastian, if that's okay with you."

"Fine with me, Allen. Fine with me."

Allen was walking around town with Timcanpy by his side. Confused, he ran into one of the three girls Lavi met beofre he went back to the Black Order HQ. It was Yuka.

"Oh, hi."

"Hi there, Allen! Say, where's Lavi? I got something for him. Could you please give this to him?"

"What's this?"

"A pocketwatch with my name engraved on it." Yuka smiled happily and walked off. "See you!"

"Bye."

"People! People! Please1 No fighting!" Alois pleaded to the two butlers who were having a stare off. Not one of them payed any attention to Alois. Alois, fearing for the worst, asked Hannah to help him.

"Me?"

"Yes. Go get them!" Alois demanded. Hannah got out two knives and threw it at the two butlers. Sebastian stared into Hannah's soul while Claude stood still and calm.

"That stopped them," Alois said. "Now would you guys stop fighting? Lets prepare for the feast!"

They're up to something.. Sebastian thought. Claude looked at Sebastian like he was about kill him.

Ciel was watching the clouds fly by.. Lenalee, watching from afar, sat next to him on a bench outside. Ciel blushed a bit and turned away from her.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing."

"Then why did you turn away from me?"

"Nothing!"

"Okay..! Sheesh.."

Lavi came outside and saw the two bickering at each other like mad dogs.

"Calm down, you two!"

"Lavi, sit next to me please," Lenalee demanded. Ciel smirked at Lavi and said, "Lovely couple."

"What's with you today, Chihuahua?" asked Lavi. Ciel stared at him oddly and sweat dropped.

"C-C-C-Chihuahua?" Ciel thought of the word, and realized that he's compared to a small dog. "Don't ever call me that!"

"How about we go find Allen? He gets lost easily." Lenalee insisted.

"Good idea!" said Lavi.

"Okay," Ciel agreed as well.

"We're never gonna find Allen! Where is he?"

"Don't complain, Lenalee. I'm guessing that he's probably at the Trancy Manor," Ciel said. He lifted his head up and saw a flying golem fluttering in the breeze near a large mansion. "I was right then."

"Claude... hand me that forsting squeezer.." Sebastian asked. Claude tossed the squeezer across the kitchen (they're on opposite sides of the kitchen), landing perfectly in Sebastian's hands. The two butlers were baking a cake filled with candy and chocolate filling (just in case Lenalee wants to come to the feast). Sebastian has told Claude about his new guests that he tended to for the past few weeks. Claude felt interested in Lenalee as well as every boy on either side of the two noble families. It seemed that Lenalee has attracted more than 100 boys during her stay at the European Branch.

"So... Lenalee, a Chinese exorcist of the Black Order... came to the Phantomhive Manor?"

"Indeed she did. She's a gift.. even to Young Master.."

"Why?"

"He had his little 'fantasy' dreams about her; her in an apron and towelette, throwing cake at him while having fun. He thinks of Lenalee as a 'sexy exorcist who is strong and cunning.' That's what I think, though."

"Any pictures of her?"

"Wha- No, of course not. Why would I take pictures of a young girl? That makes me feel like a stalker.."

"Ah, well.. Just wondering.."

"Well, you are older than me, Claude Faustus."

"So?"

"You asked if I had any pictures of Lenalee."

"Tch. Nevermind. Forget that. End of discussion. Lets finish the job."

"Ciel, are you sure he's in there?" asked Lenalee.

"Timcanpy!" Ciel called out, and Tim flew from an open window and landed on Ciel's head.

"What's going on between you two? You guys seem to get along very well." Lenalee giggled.

"Tim loves my hair. Wanna feel it?"

"Later," said Lenalee. Lavi knocked on the large double doors. Alois, standing behind the doors, said, "Who is it?"

"Allen Walker's friend!"

"Allen... Walker? Hey, Allen?"

"What is it, Alois?"

"Someone said that he's a friend of yours... Is he?"

"Oh yeah! That was Lavi. I think he came with Lenalee and Ciel."

"Lenalee? That exorcist chick?"

"'Chick?' Wha-"

"Nevermind. I'm trying to get used to women, okay? I had to say it. And Ciel, too?"

"Let them in."

"Okay." Alois opened the doors and allowed Ciel, Lavi and Lenalee in. Alois blushed at the sight of Lenalee. Allen looked at him and sighed.

Why does it have to be you, Lenalee? Why? Thought Allen.

"Alois Trancy."

"Ciel Phantomhive."

So you were the one who sent me the letter?"

"Of course I did! Why ask?"

"I had a feeling something was going on with my butler. He left without another word and now, he's here with you guys. Why? What are you planning?"

"There's nothing wrong! We're having a feast! I want to change. I want to love women, be a caring noble, and have Claude be friends with Sebastian which, apparently, won't work so easily."

"I see.. I have my eye on you." Ciel walked passed the smiling Trancy and entered the kitchen.

"Anyways, Claude, I-"

"Sebastian Michaelis!" Ciel called out. The two butlers looked behind and saw the "Chihuahua."

"Young Master, what are you-"

"I'm here to get you back."

"Oh, yes. You've heard about the letter the Trancys sent us, right?"

"I had a feeling, not a thought, Sebastian."

"Good words," Claude mumbled to himself. Sebastian grinned a little and sighed.

"We are preparing for a feast. Just stay here a while."

"Fine, Sebastian. If anything goes wrong around here, I'm putting you in charge, got that?"

"Yes, my Lord."
