"Master!" The door slams open. "I have found a new puppet," he stops in the doorway, "What should she be made of?" A song drifts towards him, "Build it up with silver and gold, silver and gold, silver and gold. Build it up with silver and gold, my fair lady."

"I hate shopping," my sister complained, her hood up and shadowing her face. I pick up a tee shirt and turn. "What do you think?" I asked, holding it up to her. "Too...pink," Hoodie was fiddling with his mask. "Why can't I just wear the clothes Sally gave me?" (S/N) whined. I let out an exasperated sigh. "Because she's smaller then you, and we both need new clothes," I explain, on the end of my patience. I pick up a black shirt, "Better?" Hoodie nodded, and (S/N) shrugged. I reach for another when I hear something. I pause and listen closer. The tune was so familiar, why couldn't I place it? I look at the window, and nearly scream. A man is staring at me, turning a hand crank music box. A person passes in front of the window and he dissappears. "(Y/N)? Are you okay?" Hoodie looks out the window, then back at me. I nod, shaking off the weird feeling I had. "Let's purchase these and get back to the mansion." I grab a few more things and head to check out. Hoodie grabs my arm. "What's going on? What is it?" He asked, looking back at the window. "Build it up with iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel. Build it up with iron and steel, my fair lady." Hoodie and I look at (S/N). She was standing almost trance like. London bridge, the song pops into my head. "Iron and steel will bend and bow, bend and bow, bend and bow. Iron and steel will bend and bow, my fair lady," I sing back without thinking. She snaps out of the trance and looks at me, "What's up?"
