I waited a second for Mei to start running ahead of me. I saw Mei quickly run and start up the rock wall. When she was halfway up she jumped down. So I did also.
"Take off your shoes." She ordered.
She took off her socks and shoes. I did the same. We stuffed our socks into our shoes and went up.
I climbed up below Mei, then I realized I'd I look up, I'll see under her skirt. Crap.
I tried my best to look without looking up.
My hands were trembling, what if I fall? Will Sebastian actually catch me? I made it to the top and stayed on my knees. I panted and got onto my two feet.
I felt the boards rock as I climbed across. The wood on the bottom wasn't very stable. I had to hold onto the rope that was the railing for the bridge.
It wobbled badly, if anyone went on this it would break. I made was almost across when something stabbed my bare foot. I looked at my foot to see I had a splinter. I got my thumb and my index finger and pulled it out. I looked back up to see Mei was already heading down the rope.
The blood from my foot oozed out but I just went to the rope and grabbed the knot that was at the top. Knot all the way down. I guess it makes it easier. I climbed down above Mei.
Mei was at the tires and started jumped around through them. Its like she's done this before.
I dropped down and landed on tot he grass. The grass had dew all over the leaves. That made my feet freeze in the cold. The line of black tires were lined up in a straight line. I put my foot through one, then through the other. Then my foot to the next one. I did this a couple more times before I was done. I realized I had taken so long Mei was already heading backwards.
I pranced up the stairs which were only a few steps. I was on a long wood platform and to my left there were a couple more steps leading to the slide.
I felt a tug on my pants finding a little boy crying.
"Mister, I can't find my daddy! The kid screamed. He had a yellow tee- shirt and knee high shorts. This snot and tears were going everywhere.
I moved his hand away a called," Sebastian."
Sebastian appeared from the wind and asked," You called, my lord?"
"Sebastian take this little boy and help him find his parents."
The little boy ran to Sebastian rubbing his dirty face on Sebastian.
I showed a deceiving smirk.
I went up the last stairs and found a blue slide. I went down very slowly and thought to myself," Why was a kid on Sebastian's course?"
Then it hit me, this was a playground. I thought Sebastian built it, wow.
The slide was not smooth. It had bumps from paint and the metal was cold. It was steep but not that much.
When I reached the end of the slide I let out a sigh of relief. "I think I'm done here."
I felt a push on my back that made me fall off the end of the slide. I heard a playful laugh, a laugh I never heard. The person was sitting on my back. There wasn't any pressure that suffocated me but it was light.
When they got up I was about to scold them, to see it was Mei. Already on her second lap.
I didn't want to do this anymore but I had to at least finish my first lap.
I climbed up the slide behind Mei again and since she was worn out I was actually able to catch up with her now.
The sweat on my hands made the shedding blue paint stick to my hands. When I look at myself I see grass stains, paint, dirt, and sweat all over me.
I felt filthy and unpleasant doing this. Maybe I shouldn't have done this and maybe I should have stayed home.
When I got down the stairs and through the tires I saw Mei climbing the knots of the rope. I waited for her to be all the way up before I went up because I'm not going through that skirt trouble again.
I grabbed the knots and climbed up them. I climbed up slowly and when I was high enough to see the platform, I saw Mei, waiting for me.
She smiled and stepped onto the bridge. I got all the way up and by that time she was already halfway across the bridge.Before I could even reach it the ropes that were holding the bridge together were tearing. It was tearing at a rapid speed.
With seconds to grab the ropes, I used it. I knew I wasn't going to be able to hold both the ropes at once do I ran onto the bridge and grabbed Mei. The bridge was 10 feet in the air. I wrapped my arms around her and felt one rope let loose and then the other.
I was ready to fall but I didn't. I opened my eyes to see Sebastian, holding the ropes. He shook his head and mumbled something under his breath.
I met go of Mei and we walked slowly across the bridge. We had gotten to the rock wall. I was too lazy to go down, but there were no other safer way.
I let my feet down first and then rested them onto some of the colored stones sticking out.
I went down and that was all. That is all I'm going to do. I grabbed a water bottle and twisted the top off. I drank a little but then I dumped the rest on my face.
Mei did the same.

We walked home without Sebastian. I was amazed to hear that we weren't there for anymore than 20 minutes.
"Hitsu, why did Lizzy call you Ciel?" She asked with a weird tune in her voice.
This question is one I was hoping she wouldn't ask. I turned my head to her side letting out the most fake smile I have ever let out.
"Uh.... Because that is...." I hesitated and looked ahead." Well you see that is my middle name. Hitsu Ciel Akihiko."
"Oh, that's a nice middle name, Hitsu." She replied with the happiest shout. She reminded me of a calmer Lizzy. But not her looks, her attitude.
We got home and I let Mei take a shower first. I couldn't sit on my bed or the couch because Sebastian was giving me that "you better not" look.
Maybe after 10 minutes or so, Mei came out wearing a lavishing, silky pink nightgown. The ribbon on the too was tied into a bow. She wore blue slippers with a few rubies on them. At that point I could easily guess, it was a nightgown Lizzy must had given her.
" Hitsu, I'm going to bed now. Good night. " She came over and have me a bear hug.

I was done taking a shower and I put the note under her pillow.
I laid in bed and the last thought I had was.
Damn't I left my shoes.
~~~~~~~~~~
Wow, what a long day for Ciel right? Geez, it's like 5:40 am and I woke up at 3:00 am just to write this. Can't wait to go to sleep. Wait I forgot there is a hell called school in an hour.
