(Name) felt worried as she heard this. She had to admit, she had a slight crush on Armin. Just a small one. A tiny one. *cough*
"Oh.... Yeah that could be a problem." (Name) said.
"Hey (Name), you sound sad, is there something wrong?"
"N-no! Uh eh I gotta go, see you tomorrow Armin!"
And before Armin could respond, (Name) hung up. Why did she ever think she had a chance? She had always been in the Friend Zone. She always would be. (Name) curled up into a ball. She cried slightly, and she didn't know why. He hadn't actually said who it was he was crushing on.
-Oh shut up (Name)! Of course it isn't you!
No (Name)! You be quiet, why are you so certain it isn't her.-
(Name)'s mind was fighting and suddenly the door opened and her brother entered the room.
"Oy (Name)! Stop crying over you-" He didn't finish when he saw his little sister lying on the bed, crying.
"Hey (Name) what happened?" He asked. (Name) looked at him.
"Just leave me alone..." (Name) muttered, hiding under the soft sheets. (Brother's name) quickly left the room.
(Name) grabbed her phone and called Petra. She needed to talk.
"Hello Miss Phantomhive, this is Miss Trancy speaking." Petra said, making (Name) giggle. They had met so recently, yet they already knew how to make the other laugh anywhere, anytime.
"H-hey Miss T-Trancy.." (Name) was still crying.
"What the? Hold on."
"Eren, (Name)'s crying." Petra said.
"What? Why?!" Eren exclaimed.
"(Name). What happened?"
Petra asked, sounding really concerned.
*sniffle*
"Armin has a crush! He said so and now I know it's not me!" (Name) cried.
Petra jumped up and down happily.
"I knew it! I knew it!" She laughed happily.
"Eren! Call Armin!" Petra said.
"What wh-"
"Just do it."
"O-okay...?" Eren said carefully.
He had no idea what his girlfriend was planning but called Armin anyways.

Armin was lying on his bed, confused. Why had (Name) sounded sad when he said he had a crush? Despite having straight A's, he was completely clueless when it came to things like this.
*bzzz bzzz*
Armin looked at the phone. Who could it be? He picked it up.
"Eren...?" He answered the call.
"Hello, Armin here."
He could hear Eren sigh.
"I know. Anyways, (Name) is crying. You know why?"
Armin's eyes widened.
"(Name) is crying? Why?" He asked.
"I dunno. That's why I asked you." Eren said.
"Hey Eren! Give me the phone!" Armin heard Petra shout.
-Petra?-
"Armin! Think! Why would (Name) be sad?" Petra asked.
Armin put his hand on his head and tried to think.
"I did say I had a crush..." Armin said, deep in thought.
"Aha! And who is the crush on?"
"......" Silence.
"Armin?"
Eren took back his phone.
"Armin? Answer me!"
Armin felt uncomfortable.
"Sorry... Eren, we'll talk later." Armin said,and hung up.
"Armin? God damnit!" Eren cussed and earned a warning from Petra.

(Name) was watching Kuroshitsuji and sighed happily. She walked up to her closet and pulled out her Elizabeth cosplay. She put on everything except the blonde, styled wig.
"Now I'm Lady (Name) Phantomhive!" (Name) said giggling.
"Hmm... If only brother could put on his Ciel cosplay again..."
Yes, (Name)'s brother was into manga and anime. Unlike (Name) however, he knew fluent Japanese, and had lots of money.
Most of the things in (Name)'s room were from her brother.
Suddenly there was a knock on her door, and her brother came in, wearing his Ciel cosplay.
"Uhh (Name) what are you doing without the wig?" (Brother's name) asked.
"I'm Lady (Name) Phantomhive!"
(Name) replied.
"Well, put on the wig, and come on, I need an Elizabeth for the Con I'm going to." (Brother's name) said.
"You'll take me with you?!" (Name) exclaimed. This was just what she needed.
"Yeah. Because we need an Elizabeth. We already have a Ciel, an Alois, a Sebastian and a Claude." (Brother's name) said. (Name) didn't care what the reason was.
She put on the wig, and followed her brother. When they reached the car (Name) saw her brother's friends. Kelly (that wasn't his first name, but they called him that) was Alois, Oden was Claude, and Fredrik was Sebastian.
"Hey (Brother's name)! Who's this?" Oden asked.
"This is my younger sister, (Name)." (Brother's name) replied.
"Oh what a cute little Elizabeth!" Kelly said.
(Name) pouted.
"I'm not little!" She said. She now understood how Christa felt most of the time.
The boys laughed. (Name) and her brother got into the car and they drove off to the Con.

~Time Skip to Con~
(Name) was so excited. She had never been at a Con before. She had begged her brother to let her come along many, many times. But he had always said no.
"Elizabeth. Concentrate." (Brother's name) said, he had already started acting.
(Name) turned around.
"How many times haven't I told you to call me Lizzy?" (Name) exclaimed. (Brother's name) rolled his eyes.
The people around them looked at them.
"Oh gosh look at the girl cosplaying Elizabeth, she's so cute!" Two girls chatted.
They were not cosplaying. They walked up to (Name).
"Excuse me, can we take a picture?" The taller girl asked.
(Name) nodded.
They took a picture. The girls thanked (Name) and left. (Name), forgetting the people she was with, wandered off.

"Young Master, it seems Lady Midford has dissapeared." Fredrik noted.
They all sighed. They made up a plan to explore the Con and have fun while trying to find (Name).
(Name) walked around calmly.
"Hey wait... Wait about the others?" (Name) exclaimed and decided to try and find the others. Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Excuse me miss?"
(Name) turned around, and to her surprise, saw Petra.
"Petra?!" (Name) said happily.
"It's (Name)!" She added.
Petra smiled.
"What are you doing here alone?" She asked.
"I'm not here alo-" (Name) started, but froze when she heard an angry voice from behind her.
"Elizabeth..." (Brother's name) grumbled. Fredrik put a hand on (Brother's name)'s shoulder.
"Calm down Young Master." He said. Petra's eyes widened.
"Wow!" She exclaimed.
"Ciel don't kill me!!" (Name) begged, and (Brother's name) sighed.
"Just don't run off again.". He said, patting (Name) on the head.
Petra, already fangirling over the whole scenario, almost died, when she saw Oden.
"Can we take a picture, all of us?" Petra asked. They nodded and Petra asked Eren to take the picture.
"Eren? Is that you?" (Brother's name) asked, surprised.
"Captain?" Eren asked, shocked.
"Is that you?"
