"I can't believe you lost Ciel!"
*SHATTER*
"I'm sorry-"
"You better be! I can't believe how useless you are! Now get out of my sight!"
"Yes..."
Hannah quickly got to her feet and ran out of the room while holding her bleeding forehead.
"Tch, how did this even happen?!" Alois bit his thumb in frustration, then turned to Claude, "Claude! Get the triplets!"
Claude nodded and retrieved the triplets.
"Now, who's fault was it?"
Thompson pointed to Timber who pointed to Canterbury who pointed to Thompson.
"... what?"
"Speak," Claude ordered.
"Timber hit me with the broom stick-"
"Canterbury kicked me in the face-"
"Thompson was the one holding Ciel-"
"It was the butler's fault," the three answered together.
Alois and Claude just stared at the three in a dumbfounded way.
"Smile, smile!" Joker yelled.
"How am I suppose to be smiling when my life depends on a flimsy rope!" Ciel yelled while trying to keep balance while tight rope walking.
"Hang in there!" Dagger yelled as he was worried that if he falls the little boy would go splat.
"Haha! Very funny!" Ciel yelled in sarcasm.
"It wasn't meant to be a pun!" Dagger panicked.
"Oh yeah like tight rope walking would help jog my memor-" Ciel then lost his footing and fell and the rope tied to his waist didn't help either since it snapped.
"Smile!" Snake ran over and caught Ciel bridal style just in time.
"Ugh..." Ciel grumbled as Joker and Dagger ran over to the two.
"S-So, are you oka-"
"WHY ARE YOU ASKING THAT I WAS ABOUT TO DIE!" Ciel yelled.
"Now let me go!" Ciel yelled while struggling to get down.
"'Y-Yes...' says Dan," Snake puts Ciel onto his feet and got swatted away by Ciel, who afterwards stomped to the exit. Snake quickly followed Ciel.
"Did Snake become Smile's butler while we were asleep?" Dagger looked at the two oddly.
"I guess..." Joker then remembered something, "Smile! There's another one! And it's less life threatening than this o-"
"YOU SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT THIS ONE!"
"Aah, this is not going well!" Dagger ran after the two.
"You sure we shouldn't give up?" Peter asked Joker.
"I'm not sure anymore if Smile is retrievable..." Joker sighed.
"Come on! Don't give up!" Wendy encouraged.
"Knife throwing?" Ciel asked as Dagger gave him knives.
"Yeah! That was the thing you did to get into the circus!" Dagger reassured.
"Mm..." Ciel grumbled as he took a knife from the pile Dagger just gave him.
"Go ahead, try it," Dagger said.
Ciel examined the blade closely.
"What if I cut my finger off?"
"Do you not trust us that much?!" Dagger sweated.
"In fact, yes, if this guy didn't catch me then I would have been dead!" Ciel pointed to Snake in emphasis.
"Smile, we're just trying to help you remember," Dagger said.
"Well it doesn't help if you keep calling me by that stupid name!" Ciel yelled as he threw the knives onto the ground and stomped to who knows where.
"'Maybe he's frustrated that he can't remember,' says Wordsworth," Snake said.
"I'm really worried about the little guy," Dagger murmured as he picked up the knives.
"I'm guessing knife throwing didn't go well either?" Peter asked as he came with Wendy and Joker.
"Yeah," Dagger sighed as he walked off to his tent.
"Come on! Let's cheer him up!" Wendy said as she didn't wait for Peter to answer and dragged him over to Dagger's tent.
"I do really wonder what happened to Smile's memories," Joker said.
"'Let's help him, and keep trying,' says Emily," Snake said.
"I understand, but it's difficult if he's not willing to even be near us," Joker said.
"'That's true...' says Emily," Snake said.
"So where have 'ee been while we were asleep?" Joker asked, taking a better look at Snake's outfit.
"'Snake became a footman of Smile's!' says Oscar," Snake said.
"Then 'ee know that Smile isn't Smile?" Joker asked.
"'Yes,' says Oscar," Snake said.
"Then what should we do? 'Ee has become familiar with the earl if 'ee is his footman, right?"
"'I wouldn't know,' says Wordsworth, 'If Smile can't remember Snake then how is this suppose to work?'"
"'Ee is right," Joker sighed.
Meanwhile, Ciel had found a nearby pond and threw a couple of rocks into the pond.
"Tch, this is stupid," Ciel murmured as he looked at his reflection in the water.
"Where's that stupid butler..."
Ciel then heard a neigh and looked up to see a saddled horse across from the pond. He thought he saw a person with brown hair and freckles by the horse but when he blinked no one was there except for the horse.
"What is a horse doing here?" Ciel asked as the horse walked around and nuzzled it's head against his arm.
"..." Ciel stroked the horse's head when he noticed something.
The horse...
Was eating...
His shirt...
"AAAAHHHHHH!"
"Smile?! Smile!" Dagger yelled as the group ran through the forest.
The group finally reached a pond and froze at the sight.
They saw Ciel being lifted up by the horse by his shirt while the horse was chewing his shirt.
The group sweated and stood there in dumbfounded-ness.
