Sebastian leads you guys to the parlor.

"Please take a seat at the table." Sebastian says.

You, Ciel, Grace, Erin, and Kaija each take a seat at the table. The table is rectangular, it has a white table cloth with light pink and baby blue patterns along the edges. There is also a bouquet of pink, red, orange, purple, and yellow Asters in the center of the table. The chairs are made of a dark wood and are very glossy from being polished, the back rest has many wavy patterns carved into the wood, and the seat has a built in cushion that looks just like the table cloth. A cart with the treats and two teapots full of tea is next to the table. There are six seats to sit at -three on each side-, at each seat there is a teacup with a saucer, a napkin, a small plate with a stack of sugar cubes, two small jars with lids on, and a butterknife.

"Today we are using a rare, special edition, tea set imported from China. The tea we will be having today is a very high quality, Earl Grey Tea. The treat that we will be having to accompany the tea are raspberry and white chocolate scones with jam and clotted cream." Sebastian says.

Sebastian passes out plates with two raspberry and white chocolate scones on them to each person. When he passes by each person he takes the lids off of the two jars. In one of the jars, there's jam, in the other, there's clotted cream. After he's passed out all of the scones, he then walks around to each person with a matching teapot and pours the tea. But when Sebastian gets to Grace he skips over her and continues pouring tea. When he's done pouring it for the regular humans -and Kaija the angel- he picks up the other teapot from the cart and goes to Grace to pour her tea. When Sebastian pours tea for Grace, it doesn't seem like anything is coming out.

Grace's is probably drinking that tea from season 2, New Moon Drop, A.K.A The Soul's Temperature. You think to yourself

Since Grace is a demon her scones look like all her food does, colorless and ghostly. Everyone else's food and tea is normal.

"It looks so good." Kaija says.
"Thank you Sebastian." Erin says as she picks up her teacup.
"Your welcome Lady Erin." Sebastian replies.

Before you drink the tea you put four sugar cubes in it because, who doesn't like sugar cubes?
You also spread some clotted cream onto your scone. Grace just leaves her scone as it is and takes a bite.

"Mmm. . . Its delicious!" Grace says.
"Yes it is." You agree.

You set the scone back on the plate, you have some cream on your face from the scone so you pick up the napkin and wipe it off. But when you set down the napkin, you set it down a little too fast, a little too hard, and a little bit off from where it originally was. So instead of just setting it on the table next to the teacup and saucer, you accidentally set it on the edge of the saucer. And you set it down with a little too much force, so when you set it down, it flung the teacup up into the air and whatever goes up, must go down due to gravity. When this was all happening, Sebastian made an effort to catch the teacup, but for the first time, he was too slow. So the teacup came back down, spilled tea everywhere and crashed onto the ground, shattering into pieces. Everyone stops what they're doing and stares at you in shock. You put your hands over your mouth and feel your face getting super hot. Nobody says a thing, all you hear is dead silence. Ciel puts his hand on his forehead and shakes his head.

"We just got it too." Sebastian says.
"I am so sorry. . ." You quietly say. "I am so sorry."
"(Y/n). . ." You hear your friends say.
"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm-" You say but get cut off.
"Stop. Stop saying that your sorry." Ciel says. "Saying 'sorry' is but a mere word that doesn't mean anything. Say sorry to the cup that you just broke, did it go back to the way it was before? No. If you want to make it better do something about it. Just saying sorry and feeling guilty about it won't change anything, it doesn't help in the slightest."
Grace leans in close to your ear "Dang (Y/n), Ciel just gave you a lecture." She quietly whispers to you.
"I. . . " You start to say but trail off with your hands clasped around the diamond heart pendent necklace that Ciel gave to you.
"Sebastian clean this up and get Lady (Y/n) a new teacup." Ciel orders.
"Yes my lord." Sebastian replies.

Sebastian cleans up the broken teacup and gets you a new one from the cart.

"Please try to not break this one too, okay?" Sebastian quietly says to you in a joking manner.
"I'll try." You quietly say back still feeling guilty.

Everyone continues drinking tea, eating scones, and talking as if nothing happpened. When everyone is done, Sebastian says

"There is nothing else planned for today so you may do as you like, but please do not get into any trouble."

Everyone gets up from the table and leaves the room, except for Sebastian because he needs to clean up the afternoon tea. Ciel walks ahead of you guys, probably to go to his office. You, Grace, Erin, and Kaija stay behind by the door in a group.

"So (Y/n). . . you broke a new, rare, special edition teacup today." Erin awkwardly says.
"I don't wanna talk about it." You say.
"So what should we do?" Kaija says.
"Probably not break anymore teacups." Grace says.
"Noo, stop." You say.
"(Y/n) have any ideas?" Erin asks.

You shake your head no.

"How about we go outside and just mess around with Grace and my 'powers'." Kaija suggests.
"Sure." You, Grace, and Erin all agree.
"Then let's go to the outside." Kaija says. "How do we get there?"
"Let's go to the outside?" You chuckle.
"Kaija," Erin says.
"It's let's go outside. Not let's go to the outside." Grace says.
"Bsh! Whatever, it's fine." Kaija says. "So, which way?"
"Um, that way I think." You say unsurely as you point to our right.
"Then let's go." Grace says.

The four of you start walking to where you think the doors that lead outside are.

(Fun Fact! : This was based on a real event that happened to author-chan. -yes, I broke my friends teacup. I'm sorry!} (>o<)
