The day was bright and warm at the estate. Everyone was working inside the mansion on a perfect day. Finny was outside and peaked around a corner and saw Mystery laying on her side in the short trimmed grass. Today she wore her maid's attire and the bottom and her long hair were spread on the grass. Finny couldn't tell if she was sleeping or daydreaming. Finny frowned as he went back inside the mansion to the others.

 "I'm telling you guys, I think something's bothering her" Finny said to Bard and Mey-Rin as they were all in the kitchen. Finny had told them what he saw and this concerned and wondered the two other servants. "Hmm now that I think about, Mystery does seem off... ever since we had that picnic when we were with Lady Elizabeth." Bard mentioned. "Do you think she's feeling well?" Mey-Rin asked. "Don't know," Finny says, "what if she's sick?" "She doesn't look ill..." Mey-Rin said. "Heh, maybe Love sick..." the two look at Bard when he said that. "You think Mystery loves someone?" Mey-Rin asked confused. "I don't know! Look, let's just spy on her alright!" Bard said and the two nodded.

 The three poked their heads out around a corner and looked to the hallways on the second floor. They saw Sebastian and Mystery walking together- whether they were talking or not. "That is odd. Sebastian and Mystery are always together," Finny said. "Ok, so they walk together, big deal" Bard said. Mey-Rin's expression lit up as she remembered. "Guys! A while ago I noticed Mystery was moaning and I could hear Sebastian's voice in there!" she said blushing madly with a small nosebleed. "What?! When was this?!" Bard asked. "It was before they went to the Viscount Druitt's party." Mey-Rin said. "Could be possible, but you know he might of helped her put on a corset, those things are tight as hell. Hell, Master Ciel had to wear one." Bard said.

 "Well lets go look for some evidence!" Finny said. "Right!" the other two agreed. They continued to watch and follow Mystery quietly. They snuck a peak into the hallways and saw Sebastian and Mystery walking together. The servants were quiet as they continued watching, but then they lightly gasped. Sebastian's hand slowly wrapped around Mystery's hand- including fingers laced. "They're holding hands!" Mey-Rin exclaimed.

 They continued to watch the suspicious pair and Sebastian left to attend Ciel leaving Mystery to do her own duties. The three servants watched as she entered her room. "Ah man! Now how are we suppose to see what she's doing?" Bard complained. They then knocked on her door and Mystery answered the door with a questioning expression. "Oh, hi guys. Is there something you need?" Mystery asked. "Uh... uh..." Bard stuttered. "We... We wanted to..." Mey-Rin trailed off while twiddling her fingers. "We wanted to... look around your room to see if it needs cleaning!" Finny came up with. "Oh, yes!" they all said in unison. Mystery blinked.

 "Well-" she started to say but the three barged into her room. "We'll only take a second!" they said. Mystery watched as her three friends darted from each spot of her room. "Anything you guys?" Mey-Rin whispered to them. "Hey, the rose!" Finny whispered. On her desk she still had the same rose Sebastian gave her from the garden. They continued looking around and they soon ran out without saying anything. Mystery watched them run down the hallway and blinked.

 "Alright so she didn't really have anything in her room except Sebastian's rose." Bard said. "Do you think she and Sebastian are hiding something?" Finny asked. "Heh probably so. They're suspicious as ever those two." Bard agreed. "I say we try something else" Mey-Rin suggested. The two nodded their heads. They were now back outside and Mystery was leaning against a tree reading a book. 

 "You sure about this?" Finny asked as he held up a big statue. "Yes! Just do it!" Bard said. Finny was hesitant but through the statue up high in the air and it came down fast down towards Mystery. The three watched and realized this was serious and Mystery would get seriously hurt. They ran towards, panically and screamed out to her. "Watch out, Mystery!" Mystery looked at them but then dust covered their visions. The statue had crashed and the servants fearfully looked to the spot where Mystery was. The dust cleared and they had priceless expressions at the sight. Mystery was knocked down, laying on her back and Sebastian was there on top of her, blocking the broken statue as it broke when it impacted on Sebastian's back.
