"You remember everything, correct?" Alois asked me as he made final preparations to his costume.

"Everything!" I said, standing behind him as he instructed.

Claude was at his right side, while I stood slightly behind them both. The triplets were on the left, each whispering to one another in that creepy way they do.

"Let's go." And with that, Alois opened the giant doors to the dining room. "I'm sorry for the wait everyone! But I am here!"

I followed everyone out to the busy party. Lots of people in costumes of all types were gathered around. Hannah and her broken instrument were on the ground, both looking beat and upset. I felt pity for her. She may be a demon, but she was half human and had feelings.

"I am Earl Alois Trancy! Henceforth, I am pleased to make your acquaintance." Alois said happily. It was almost as if he was trying desperately to act happy.

"That was some entertainment. I'm sure you all enjoyed it! Anyway, my personal assistant, Nichole, will be helping me throughout the night answer any business questions and get you drinks…"

I stared around the room as Alois continues his speech. I soon caught sight of Sebastian and Ciel. I hate to say it, but Ciel was rather handsome. Even with his cheap pirate costume, he looked fancy and like a true noble.

"…So let's continue with that ball!" Finally. I kept getting weird looks from Sebby-chan and Ciel.

Alois looked at me through the corner of his eye and signaled for me and Claude to follow him. He instantly started to his rival. To Ciel. I followed him without talking. I felt butterflies in my stomach with the amount of people here.

"Hello, Ciel. Glad to see you once again." The way Alois said that was sinister and sincere at the same time.

"Hello Trancy." Ciel said. His voice sounded just like his English dub voice. Cold and feminine.

"I guess our butlers need to talk." Alois turned to Claude and whispered to Claude. Ciel did the same with Sebastian.

Once the two demons had left, Alois and Ciel exchanged a silent look to each other. It left me feeling awkward.

"Ciel, I'll be around if you want to talk to me." Alois licked his lips at Ciel (who looked kinda disturbed at that) and turned back to me. "Let's go Nichole."

"Yes, Master." I got one more glance at Ciel then started walking with Alois. That blue haired boy might be a bit more handsome than Alois, but never would he ever be better than Alois.

"Nichole, let's go. Smile!"

Alois was right. I needed to be happier. I would never be able to do this again. I should be enjoying my time with Alois.

"Yeah!" I said, smiling, "I'll go where you do. Just tell me what to do!"

…..

This was the most stressful night ever. I had to more than perfect whenever I spoke to anyone. Alois would give me a brief introduction and then the rest was up to me.

Some people asked questions that I could answer without thinking. Others decided that they wanted to kill me by asking questions like "If Alois's new shipment of wine (That was apparently what he sold) is coming in two weeks, and that costs 100 pounds each shipment and if I divide that by the amount of fuel he is using to get it here that-" GOOD LORD I'M A KID! I DON'T KNOW!

Apparently Al was a math whiz. He could answer those questions in a second and left me looking stupid. Maybe he could help me with my math homework back home. I hated math, and wasn't good at it.

After what seemed like an hour, we finally ran into Lady Elizabeth. No, she legit ran into us.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" As she apologized, I had to cover my ears. Her voice sounded like a violin out of tune.

"Its fine, my lady." He said, in a flirty voice. "Have you met Nichole?"

"Hello!" She said, looking at my dress. "CUTE! I love your dress! Now, if you excuse me," Elizabeth started to walk away, but Alois stopped her before she could get that far.

"Please, I'd like to dance with you." He took his eyes off her and to me, "Nichole. Get me some wine for the lady and me. Now."

"Yes, Master." I said, scurrying away to get Alois and his crush some drinks.

I hate to say it, but I feel jealous. He treats Elizabeth like she's Megan Fox. Plus, she'd never return her feelings to him. She was a total Ciel fan girl. Plus, the two were engaged.

I arrived at the reshipment table and started pouring some random drink into a glass when I saw Ciel himself approach me.

"You are Trancy's maid, correct?" Ciel asked me, looking at me with his one visible eye.

Alois had ordered me to not talk to Ciel, but he was off with Lizzy, so he'd never know.

"Yes. You are Earl Phantomhive." I said, keeping my eyes on the job on hand and not at the blue-haired boy.

Ciel grunted like I was annoying him and nodded, "Yes. Now I must ask, how did Trancy make you work for him."

"I work for Master Alois because he
gave me a home and food. I assure that I'm no assassin. I'm just a girl from America."

Ciel didn't believe me. "Why did he hire you? Are you a master gun slinger or something? You must have some special talent."

Well, I could kind of draw and write, but I couldn't use a sword or anything Ciel thought I could do. "No, Earl Phantomhive. Master merely hired me because I teach him how to dance. Would you like some wine?"

"I only drink tea. And I don't believe you…one way or another I'll find out who you really are." He resounded, sounding bored. And with that he started off on his way.

Well he'd be disappointed to learn I was just an ordinary girl. Oh well. Now to get back to Alois.

I started off to get back to Lizzy and Alois when I heard a gasp. Weaving through the people, I saw what made the guests gasp. My jaw dropped and my eyes widened. I almost dropped the wine glasses too. But who can blame me.

There was Master Alois and Lady Elizabeth. Kissing.
