You guys follow Sebastian through the garden to where you will be eating lunch. You get to the table in the middle of the garden. Sebastian stops besides it and motions for you guys to take your seats. You and your friends all sit down at the table for lunch.

"For today's lunch we will be having potted shrimps with curried mutton and rice along with some mixed vegetables. We will also be having Souchong tea to go with the meal." Sebastian says as he places the food infront of you guys.

Everyone starts eating the delicious food that Sebastian made.

*time skip to when everyone's done with lunch*

"I will clean up here, you may wander around in the gardens while you wait." Sebastian says

Everyone gets up from their seats and wanders around in the garden while Seabastian cleans up lunch. You and your friends walk together and Ciel walks behind you guys to make sure you don't get into any trouble. You guys walk past rows of colorful flowers, and you end up at a fountain somewhere in the garden. You, Grace, Erin, and Kaija sit on the edge of the fountain and play with the water.

"Ah, the water feels so nice." You say as you dip your hands into the water.
"Yes, it does." Kaija agrees.
"Whoops." Grace unapologetically says as she splashes some water on Erin.
"Hey!" Erin shouts as she splashes water back at Grace.
"Oh, you wanna GO BRO!?!" Grace threatens as she stands up.
"Yeah!" Erin replies as she too stands up.

Ciel places his fingers against his forehead and sighs.

"Fools." He quietly mutters under his breath.
"Uh, guys, that's not really lady-like." Kaija says.
"Yeah." You agree.
"We-" Grace starts to say but gets cut off.
"Should we head to the stables to retrieve the horses now?" Sebastian says out of nowhere and moving your guy's attention to something else.
"Yes, that would be great." Grace says glaring at Erin.
"Yes," Erin says glaring back at Grace.

You all walk to the stables were the horses are held with Sebastian leading and Ciel right behind him.

"I really must say that the stables are no place to be taking a lady." Ciel states.
"It is alright, Lady Erin and Lady (Y/n) are quite fond of horses actually." Grace says.
"Really? That is rather rare for Ladies to actually care about horses. Actually, I do recall that my aunt is also very fond of horses. She has quite a few very nice horses which she takes excellent care of." Ciel says
"Well ya don't say." Erin says.
"We have arrived at the stables." Sebastian says. "Let me show you around first, then we shall pick out horses."
"Okay." You and your friends say at the same time.

Sebastian walks around the stables telling you guys about the horses. Like what their names are, what their traits are, where and who they got them from, what breed they are, and their advantages and disadvantages.

"Now that you have seen all of the horses, you may now choose the ones that are the most appealing to you." Sebastian says.
"Choose quick guys, I can't stand the smell." Erin says so that only you guys can hear.
"It's fine Egg, come on, man up." Grace says.
"But we're supposed to be ladies, not men." Erin replies.
"Shut up." Grace says.
"Yeah, I can't stand the smell of horse poop either." Kaija says.
"Actually its called horse 'manure'." You correct Kaija.
"Yeah, whatever." She says back.
"I would like to ride Ares." Ciel says.
"As always." Sebastian says as he goes to get Ares.

He comes back in a few minutes with a strong stallion, it has a shiny coat that is the colors of ink. The horse is already saddled and has his bridle on. Sebastian hands the reins to Ciel.

"Your horse." Sebastian says.
"Thank you." Ciel says.
"Now which horses would you ladies like to ride?" Sebastian asks.
"May I have that white one named Iris?" Erin asks.
"Yes you may." Sebastian says.

Sebastian leaves to go get the horse for Erin. Sebastian comes back with Iris, a sleek mare with a coat of pure, white snow. She too is already saddled and has her bridle on. Sebastian hands Erin the reins.

"Who is next?" Sebatsian says.
"Um, can I have Uranus, the gray one?" Kaija asks.
"Of course."
"Heh heh, Ur anus," You quietly giggle.

Sebastian leaves to go retrieve Uranus. He comes back with a stunning mare who is a dapple grey horse. Just like the others it is already saddled and has a bridle on. He hands Kaija the reins.

"Here you are." Sebastian says.

Then he turns to You and Grace for a request.

"I would like the, chestnut one you said? Who's name is Athena if you would please." Grace says.
"That is correct, she is a chestnut horse." Sebastian says.

He leaves to get Athena for Grace. He comes back with a proud mare, one with a coat a reddish-brown color, which is also known as chestnut. He hands the reins to Grace and turns to you.

"What horse would you like to ride my lady?" Sebastian says.
"Could I have Aphrodite the bay horse?" You ask.
"Most certainly." He replies.

Sebastian leaves to retrieve Aphrodite for you. He comes back with a beautiful mare that has the colors of a bay horse. He hands the reins to you.

"Now that everyone has their horses, let's start our ride through the woods." Ciel says.
"But what about Sebastian? He doesn't have a horse." Kaija says.
"I will be alright my lady, no need to be concerned about me." Sebastian says.
"Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Grace says.
"I assume you all know how to ride horses, yes?" Sebastian says.
"Uh, actually we don't." Kaija says.

You, Grace, and Erin all shake your heads 'no'.

"Well , I guess I will have to teach you." Sebastian says. "Let's exit the stables and go outside, we will have more room then."

You guys all lead your horses outside. You, Grace, Erin, and Kaija all stand in a shoulder-to-shoulder line with your horses next to you. Ciel and his horse stand off to the side to watch.

"The horse riding lesson will now begin." Sebastian says.
