Third Person's P. O. V :

It was a bright and sunny day today with no clouds in sight. The birds were freely flying in the horizon. The cold breeze coming from the sea was pleasant yet chilling to the people who were at the docks. These people were here for two reasons : ( 1 ) To ride their boats and to fulfill their duties to work on the boat and to gain an income for their families left behind and ( 2 ) To set out across the world for self seeking, an adventure of a lifetime or a simple journey to new horizons and borders. Meanwhile, those who weren't on the boats were standing by the docks, waving goodbye to their families and friends who were about to embark on their journey onto the sea.

Amongst the crowd, there was a particular family, they were a noble family, although despite being of noble birth, they were a modest family and they were very known for their philanthropy for the common people. Unlike other rich nobles, this family was very kind and approachable and they never turn down anyone who needs their help which is why, they have been awarded for their philanthropic activities for years by the Royal Family for continuing to help people who are unfortunate in life. They live their lives like any normal person would do and they dislike social parties with other nobles which is why they only show up once in a blue moon during such occasions because they truly don't like participating in such events especially since they don't get along with the other nobles because most of them despise their family and they would always try to find faults in them through malicious accusations or provocation. Which is why they hate the nobility despite being part of said people, they prefer to live a normal life like the common people.

They were the Holmes and Moriarty Family, a very prominent family in the history of nobility. The Holmes Family which is known for serving the Royal Family for years and for being part of the military services for the protection of the country country while the Moriarty Family was known for their multiple businesses and philanthropy for years. They have also been friends for centuries now since the reign of Queen Victoria. Today however, is the day both William and Sherlock will accompany Billy to New York City in America for 3 days and 12 hours. They were all wishing them good luck and a safe journey while also worrying about them since no one can really guarantee one's safety whether they use a plane or a ship to travel to faraway places. They were waving good bye to the three from the docks as their ship or rather their personal yacht started to set sail.

"Will! Take care out there, okay?!" Adele yelled towards William while waving goodbye to him with a smile.

"I will, Mother!" William promised as he gave her a smile as well.

"Niisan! Call me if that Sherlock tries to harass you again!" Louis yelled towards William while giving Sherlock a glare.

"You punk! Just you wait when I get home!!" Sherlock yelled back in an angry tone before William could even say his response.

William just sighed in helplessness as he shook his head from side to side while both Sherlock and Louis continued to bicker with one another in a yelling contest as the yacht sailed even further away from their family. Meanwhile, Billy just laughed seeing the usual scene between Sherlock and Louis.

"Bye Billy! Remember your promise to get Uncle Sherly into trouble, OK?!" Alice yelled as she waved both of her hands in the air while happily jumping up and down.

Albert was about to say his goodbye but, immediately came to a halt upon hearing his daughter's words. Mycroft as well looked at his daughter in horror. Alice's grandparents also looked at her, John on the other hand, just sighed when he heard his niece's words. Meanwhile, Louis happily nodded his head towards Alice.

"That's my girl!" Louis cheered which made Alice giggled loudly.

"Louis you-! Stop corrupting my Alice!!!" Sherlock yelled towards as he attempted to jump and swim back to the docks to grab Alice and take her with them.
