I have decided to be nice and give you a little something before I leave for camp tomorrow morning. This will probably be the last weird dream that Ciel has. The chapter will no doubt be short.
I got this idea from the song "Temper Temper" from the Mary Poppins Broadway Musical. We did a dance to it in the recital and I thought I could throw something together for you all. Aren't I nice?
And you have GOT to see the new Kuroshitsuji chapter! There is one line in it that made me die laughing.
Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.
Me: I also don't own the Mary Poppins Broadway Musical or any of the songs.
WARNING: This chapter contains singing toys. Just sayin'.
Mating Season
Temper Temper
Ciel's POV
During my sleep, I began to encounter another nightmare. I was in what looked to be a nursery filled with all the Funtom toys ever made, including some that haven't been released to stores yet. The first thing I noticed was that I wasn't pregnant, thank god. And then I realized the toys were getting bigger.
"What's happening?" I spoke in confusion, "I don't understand!"
"I'm sure you don't, Ciel. You think because you act grown up you have nothing to learn, but you don't understand the simplest things." One of the toys grinned; I noticed it was the unreleased Funtom Valentine Rabbit.
I looked all around the room, "Why are you all so big?"
A ragdoll giggled, "You'll find out."
Valentine grinned evilly, "Children who lose their temper, will lose everything else in the end." He laughed wickedly.
All the other toys got up and started chanting, "Temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper…"
"Temper, temper, caught you at last!" Valentine began to sing, "Your quick temper went a bit fast! This is a place of woe!"
"This is a place of woe!" Others joined in.
Valentine got closer to me, "This is a place where all wicked children go!"
"But all of you belong to my company!" I objected.
"No, not anymore we don't!" He bit back.
I got frightened as all the evil toys sang, "Temper, temper, that was your crime! We've been watching you for some time. We knew that you'd appear. We knew your temper tantrums would lead you here."
"Stop! Get back! Leave me alone!" I shouted at the nearing toys.
"Prepare for the Judge!" Funtom Bitter Rabbit called out
"What judge?" I asked.
"All rise!" Valentine announced as a teddy bear appeared.
The teddy bear sat down before me, "Temper, temper, silence in court. Is this not the story you thought? You have to stand on trial. You will not see your family for quite some time!"
"Children who refuse to learn, will not return! Children who refuse to learn, will not return!"
"Are you Ciel Phantomhive?" The bear asked me.
"Y-yes." I stuttered nervously.
"You stand accused of the wanton lost and the most precious commodity! Namely, your temper!" he continued.
"Call the first witness!" Valentine shouted.
The ragdoll from before got up, "Temper, temper, think of the cost." She sang, "Of a temper, once it's been lost. You cannot get it back! It's no excuse to say that your mood was black!"
"Call the surprise witness! Call the surprise witness!"
A Jack-in-the-Box began to unwind and out popped a ballerina clown, "Yes! I saw him, your honor. He was yelling at his butler again."
"Go on." The teddy bear encouraged.
"And then… he backed him into a wall and…and…the butler fell out the window!" She cried out.
"MURDERER!"
All the toys gasped and glared at me, I was still clueless as what was going on.
"Children who refuse to learn will not return. Children who refuse to learn will not return." They sang once more, "Temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper."
"What is your verdict?" The bear concluded.
"Guilty!" Everyone roared.
He stared at me, "You stand there bold as brass. You face the stiffest sentence this court can ask."
The toys started closing in on me whispering over and over, "Children who refuse to learn, will not return! Children who refuse to learn, will not return! Children who refuse to learn, WILL NOT RETURN!"
"Temper, temper!" They all cried.
And everything went black.
So I hope you can survive with that for the time being! Now, it is nearly time for dinner, I am not packed at all, and my cats are bugging me. I must go now. A question for you all: Would you be okay if I used a couple things in the next chapter that weren't invented yet in the 19th century? Like Yana Toboso did?
Rachel: REVIEW SO THAT COOKIE WILL UPDATE QUICKLY AFTER CAMP!
Me: I get back on Saturday evening! Wish me luck! Bye!
