"This is amazing!" Ciel said the minute she entered the Phantomhive mansion.
"You're right about that" Alois said and Luke jumped up and down in excitement.
"Big bro, is this going to be our home now?" He asked and Ciel nodded.
"You have your very own room too. Claude, show him his room" Alois replied and Claude took Luke's hand to lead him up the stairs.
"Would you like to see your rooms?" Sebastian asked.
"Sure!" Alois and Ciel said in unison.
They followed Sebastian up the stairs and still looked around the mansion. It had been beautifully decorated and it had been modernized completely. The classical look was there but now there were light switches on the walls and overhead lights.
"I converted one of the rooms to manage the security of the mansion and I also converted the stables into a garage for the cars" Sebastian was saying and Ciel stopped when she saw a large portrait of her parents.
"Where did this come from? Wasn't this destroyed in the fire?" Ciel asked.
"I found it in the basement and decided to hang it up here" Sebastian replied and Ciel turned to him her eyes full of tears.
"Thank you" She murmured and Alois patted her shoulder in comfort.
"Your room is right over here" Sebastian pulled out a key and unlocked the door at the end of the hallway.
The door opened and Ciel stepped inside. Her eyes widened when she saw the large double bed made up just for her. There was a chandelier overhead and her ceiling was covered with glow-in-the-dark stars. Standing near the window was a woman dressed in a maid's uniform.
"Welcome, my young mistress" She said with a polite curtsy.
"Who is this?" Ciel asked Sebastian.
"This is Hannah. She will be your personal maid from now on" Sebastian replied.
Ciel turned to Alois who seemed to have turned red. She followed his line of vision and saw he was staring at Hannah with little hearts in his eyes.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Hannah. I'll try and make the least of problems for you. I hope you'll enjoy working here" Ciel said politely.
"Thank you my lady" Hannah curtsied again.
"Come, let's see Alois's room" Sebastian said.
He led Ciel and Alois out and finally Alois's blush receded.
"Got a crush on the maid?" Ciel asked and Alois turned bright red.
"Your room is right across the hallway" Sebastian pushed the door open and Claude bowed to them from where he was standing next to the bed.
"Claude will be your butler during your stay" Sebastian said.
"But what about you? What will you do if Hannah's taking care of me?" Ciel asked.
"I shall be the steward. It will be rather suspicious if I live here and be your teacher at the same time. I'll keep my current apartment but I'll live here just like I used to do at the old house" Sebastian replied.
Ciel smiled at that and then Sebastian took them down to the kitchens. There they met three triplet demons.
"This is Thompson, Timber and Canterbury" Sebastian said.
"How do you tell them apart?" Alois asked.
"Their hair. They don't talk much either" Claude replied.
"Nice to meet you" Ciel said and the triplets nodded.
"Time for lunch" Sebastian announced.
They were taken upstairs where Luke was already seated waiting for lunch.
"This house is so cool! My room is so big. Claude showed me so many video games and I have a TV in my room" Luke babbled on and on.
"Make sure you still concentrate on school, Luke. Otherwise you can kiss those things goodbye" Alois warned.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure he works hard" Claude said.
"Lady Ciel, what time would you like me to wake you tomorrow?" Hannah asked which prompted Alois to go off into a blushing fit.
"Sebastian, is there something important on our schedule?" Ciel asked.
"Tomorrow there is a joint memorial for all the girls who were killed in Professor Lindstrom's experiments" Sebastian replied.
"What time?" Alois asked.
"At noon and then it is followed by lunch in the city hall" Sebastian replied.
"Hannah, prepare my clothes for tomorrow. I'll come by to see your selection" Ciel said and Hannah curtsied in response.
Ciel wandered about in the rose garden after lunch. The roses were of different colors and scents which she loved. She plucked out a white rose and placed it in her hair. She took a step and the rose fell out of her hair. Before it could hit the ground, it was caught by Sebastian.
Sebastian stepped forward and then tucked the rose carefully behind her ear.
"I very much enjoyed your dance routine" Sebastian commented and Ciel blushed as she remembered.
"Thank you Mike and Rachel. That was very entertaining" Sebastian said after a entertaining salsa routine.
Mike and Rachel bowed and walked off the stage with flushed faces.
"Next we have Ciel and Alois" Sebastian announced looking down at the list.
Alois walked onto the stage dressed in dark jeans and a black tee shirt. His hair had been combed back and held into place with hair gel. Ciel walked right behind him dressed in black satin shorts and a black satin fitted tee shirt. Her pale bare legs were covered with black shin length boots. She had even worn a wig of long black hair which she had tied back in a high ponytail.
"What genre will you two be performing?" Sebastian asked.
"We mixed ballroom and tango together" Alois replied and Sebastian gestured for them to continue.
Madonna's La Isla Bonita began playing as Alois took Ciel's hands and twirled her into his arms. They began a fast paced footwork and Sebastian noted that Ciel's hands seemed to be shaking. Then they separated and Ciel literally threw herself at Alois who caught her expertly and threw her into the air. Ciel did a flip in midair and then was caught by Alois who lowered her onto her feet.
What surprised Sebastian the most was that Ciel sang all that Spanish parts of the song. Most of all, her movements were graceful and poised while Alois took the lead wonderfully. They finished to applause and Sebastian gave a nod of approval.
"Thank you. That concludes the dance final. After the break you'll get your results" Sebastian said.
"It was rather enjoyable to watch you" Sebastian said and Ciel swatted at his arm.
"It was really difficult to practice" Ciel complained.
"But it was worth it" Sebastian pointed out and Ciel nodded.
"Sebastian can I ask you something?"
"You just did"
"Do you like me?" She asked and Sebastian stiffened. He had to admit, Ciel was alot like her ancestor in many ways.
"Of course I like you. You are my mistress" Sebastian replied dodging the question.
"Sebastian, do you love me?" Ciel asked.
Sebastian hung his head. "Yes mistress".
"Then why don't you say so?" Ciel asked and then reached up and wrap her arms around Sebastian's shoulders.
"Because the time wasn't right" Sebastian replied.
"What better time than the present?" Ciel asked before leaning up and kissing him.
