It was dinner time in the Phantomhive manor. Mey-rin came out with a dish called beef stew. (If you are vegetarian I have a different dish for you eggplant parmesan). For dessert he served peach melba. There was only few minor conversations between the two siblings. One of those things being about the ball.

"Since you have those wings, I don't want others being suspicious of you. So I'm turning this into a masquerade ball. If anyone asks those wings are just a part of your costume." Ciel explains.

"I was just thinking about that. I was thinking I could just wear something that was covering them. Your idea is easier though so thank you for taking the extra measurements to keeps this a secret." I sincerely stated.

"Not a problem. You have a special exception to what I'll do for you. Since Sebastian already took measurements all you have to do is pick out a dress. They are in your room."

"Great. I'll pick one after dinner."

After choosing a dress I chose a mask that I thought went with it. Soon afterwards Mey-rin came in the room to help me in the corset and arrange my hair.

"Ok Lady (y/n) deep breath. Don't worry I'll be careful of your wings." 'Ugh.. I hate corsets I swear they were made to squeeze the life out of you.' I thought. "You look beautiful Lady (Y/n), Yes you do."

"Thank you Mey-rin I can't wait to see you and the others. Also just call me (Y/n)."

"Thank you L- (Y/n)"

"No problem." I said smiling.

There was about an hour remaining until the party started. I didn't want to mess up my dress but I didn't just want to sit in my room the entire time so I decided to look for Tanaka. i haven't seen him in a long time and wanted to spend time with him again. When exiting the room I ran into Sebastian.

"Hello, Sebastian."

"Good afternoon, Lady (y/n). What can I do for you?"

"Nothing much but I would appreciate it if you only called me by my first name. Also do you know where Tanaka is?"

"Tanaka and the others have started welcoming guest into the manor."

"Really? Then where are you off to Sebastian?"

"Nowhere special."

"Great then can I come with you?"

He chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"It's nothing however you can't follow me there."

"What? Why not?" I said slightly pouting.

"Because (y/n) I'm going to change into my costume for the ball. Still wish to follow me?"

Turning a bright red I looked down and the floor and shook my head no.

"Will your brother escort you in this ball?"

"Escort? No, I believe not. I forgot about that."

"Would you allow me to be your escort then?" Sebastian pondered 'wait why did I say that? Someone needs to introduce her to the guest. That's the reason nothing else.'

"Really? I wouldn't want to trouble you I could just get Ciel to do it.."

"It wouldn't be a problem my lady" I glared at him. "My apologies. I meant to say (Y/n)."

I simply just hummed then walked away after saying "That would be nice Sebastian. However it would be better if I just got my brother to do it, since he needs to introduce me to some people."

~ball time~

"Welcome to the Phantomhive manor. I'm the Earl Ciel Phantomhive. I have planned this ball for today since my sister,(y/n), has returned. Please enjoy this ball, thank you all for coming." Music started playing then nobles started conversing with other nobles. Ciel had made his way over to where I was. I made my way around the ballroom with Ciel while he was introducing me to the nobles. The last person we met was quite unique.

"Hello Ciel! Oh, and who might this lady be?" he lifted up my hand and kissed the back of it. I had to try my hardest not to pull it away seeming as that would be rude.

"This is my sister (y/n), don't touch her. You're making her uncomfortable." he growled.

"(Y/n) what a lovely name!"

"Hey! Did you hear me!?"

"I'm Alois Trancy would you like to dance (y/n)?"

"Umm.." Not wanting to turn him down I said yes not knowing a pair of golden and crimson eyes were watching me.

"You're a great dancer (y/n)."

"Why thank you Lord Trancy."

"No need to be so formal. Just call me Alois!" The song finally ended, it seemed like it went on forever. "Would you like to dance again?"

"No thank you. I'm quite tired from all the walking around from earlier."

"Aw.. Well come to my manor anytime!"

"Thank you, Alois."

"No problem! I think I'll leave now after I find my butler Claude."

"Ok. It was nice meeting you."

"You too (y/n)!" After that people starting leaving seeing how late it was so they could get back to their own duties. About 40 minutes later everyone left.

OK! I'm bloody tired right now. We had a math test in school.. and ugh writer's block. Sorry for ending the chapter like that like I said I'm tired.. Lots of things happened today. *sigh* Welp see you in a few hours.. I still have to update as much as possible. If you are wondering why Sebastian and Ciel aren't talking right now.. It's because Ciel is sleep and Sebastian is cleaning the ballroom.
