Hey guys! I had motivation to write, cause I got a lot of favourites, follows, and reviews that kept me going. It makes me so happy that so many people are enjoying my story.

This chapter will mostly focus on one of the side pairings in this story, Alois x Lizzy.

Song recommendation: If you like rock music, I recommend Bring Me to Life by Evanescence.

Anyway, enjoy!

Ciel was spending his lunch break with Alois and Lizzy. They were having a picnic under a willow tree. They were listening to some nice classical music, since that's what they were into. Lizzy had prepared some strawberry parfait for Ciel, some oily fish and chips for Alois, and some strawberry and cherry shortcake for herself. Ciel had brought tea and biscuits.

Ciel jokingly sipped his tea with his pinky in the air. "I have such fine manners, am I right?"

Lizzy and Alois laughed. They sat around like that for awhile, just enjoying themselves. They pretended that they were royalty, and spoke in mock British accents. It was nice to catch up with Lizzy, and just hang out. It had been a while since he had done that. The last time he had done that was when he was with his family, and with the Midfords.

Ciel smiled, and layed down in the grass.

"A fine nobleman does not simply lay down on the grass, Ciel Phantomhive."

They all burst out laughing. Only then did they realize they were the only ones outside. And it was getting dark. "What's the time," asked Alois nervously.

Cie checked his watch. "Shit. It's 8:00 PM. Did we really stay outside that long?"

Lizzy ran around in circles. "Shit, shit, shit."

Ciel looked at them curiously. "What's wrong? Can't we go inside?"

Lizzy looked at him. "They lock the entrances to the school at 7:30. We're stuck out here for the night."

"Oh. Well, I guess it's good that we're here, or else Alois would die."

"Hey, that's not true!"

Ciel smirked. "Oh yeah? We know every nook and cranny around here, even in the forest. You'd be long lost by morning."

Alois huffed. "Fine. Lets get going."

So they packed up the stuff they had- a picnic blanket, a basket, a cheap tea set, a box half filled with biscuits, and a thermos half filled with tea. They discussed where they should camp for the night. They decided on the forest, since no one else was there, and the Spiders would usually hang outside the school at night. Also, Lizzy and Ciel had many shelters under and inside trees, underground tunnels, and abandoned treehouses. They knew the forest like they had lived there their whole lives.

The trio ventured into the forest, Alois being a bit nervous, he had heard bad rumors about the forest. Ciel felt fine. Lizzy was scared, because it was dark, and the forest looked a lot more menacing at night.

Cie walked ahead of Lizzy and Alois, giving Alois a chance to talk to his cousin.

"So, Lizzy, is this forest nice? I've heard a lot of rumors about it being haunted by a poltergeist or something."

Lizzy giggled. "Oh, that's a bunch of bullcrap. I mean, it does look scary at night, but doesn't every forest look scary at night?"

Alois sighed. "Yeah, I guess."

Suddenly, they heard a branch crack (little did they know it was just Ciel stepping on a few twigs) and Lizzy grabbed Alois's hand in fear. Alois blushed, but since it was dark, Lizzy took no notice of that. "S-sorry- I'm just really- ah!"

Crack. Crunch.

Lizzy pulled Alois into a hug. "...really scared of the dark."

Ciel heard this, and grinned. You helped me, so I help you.

"Oi, Lizzy. What hideout are we staying at?"

Lizzy spoke, not letting go of Alois. "Somewhere near the school, I guess."

"Treehouse number one it is."

The two blondes followed Ciel to a very tall and thick tree. There was a hole near the roots. Ciel slipped inside with no problem.

Alois looked down the hole in confusion. "I thought this was a treehouse...?"

Lizzy giggled. "It is. Just jump down the hole."

And down the hole he went. And he landed on some soft dirt. Ciel was waiting.

"Incoming!"

Lizzy fell down the hole before Alois could move. They were in a, well, awkward position. Alois was on his back, while Lizzy was flat on top of him. His face was a deep crimson, but nobody noticed, since it was dark.

"Sorry! I thought you had moved..."

Ciel laughed. "Come on, lovebirds, lets get going."

They got off the ground. Ciel was patting the ground. "Found it."

He pulled a shimmering silver key from a hole in the ground. Then, he walked toward the left side of the hole. He inserted the key into a small disguised keyhole, and opened a secret door. "Follow me."

Behind the door, there were some stairs. Ciel climbed the stairs with no hesitation, while the other two followed. "Hey, Ciel."

"Sup, Alois?"

"Are we inside the tree trunk?"

"Yeah."

They continued, until they reached a platform. All three gasped.

"Beautiful at night, isn't it?"

"It's been so long..."

"Wow..."

They were at the top of the tallest tree of the forest. There was a fence around the platform, and there was a roof over it. There were two beanbag chairs there, and some pillows and blankets. And the view was incredible. A crescent moon adorned the sky, and the twinkles of stars surrounded it. The silhouettes of trees surrounded them, and the school topped it like a cherry.

They admired the view for a while. It was quite stunning. "Well," commented Ciel,"aren't you glad we were locked out tonight?"

"Yeah..."

Ciel smiled contentedly. "Well, I'm gonna sleep. You guys can share a beanbag."

He tucked himself in, and made himself a small nest of pillows and blankets. He fell asleep soon after. He had an angelic appearance when he slept.

Alois sat down on the beanbag. He took some pillows and blankets, and covered himself with them.

Lizzy looked at him hesitantly. "Don't do anything indecent to me, alright?"

Alois laughed. "I'm no perv."

Lizzy sat down, and put the covers over herself. She put her head on Alois's shoulder, and quickly fell into a deep slumber.

Alois had some thoughts on what he could do to her- not perverted thoughts, mind you. He held her chin in his hands, and kissed her soft pink lips. It was short and sweet, just like Lizzy herself. It was one of the most beautiful things Alois had experienced. He smiled. He then rested his head on hers, and fell asleep, having sweet dreams.
