you awake on a soft, plush surface with the feeling of soft stroking on your back. you stretch and look up, to have your (color) eyes meet with piercing ruby ones. strangely, they were behind a pair of spectacles and another type of fancy suit. what's the occasion? "mreow?" sebastian smiled at your cute questioning kitten face and rubbed your head. "young master had told me to bring you along. you might come in handy after all." me? a kitten? come in handy? "mrmreorw?" you tip your head to the side, earning a snicker from the butler. "I assure you, a charming kitten with has a magnificent voice is more than enough use for us. now then." he unclipped your collar and put it in his pocket. he then tied a wide (color) bowtie your neck and marveled at how precious you looked. "divine." he whispered. he then stuck out his arm and you instinctively crawled up it and perched yourself on his broad shoulder. "for the time being, you will be acting as MY dear kitten. that should pose as no trouble, no?" he asked, rubbing your head tenderly. you shook your head lightly, earning a smile from him. "excellent. shall we go then?" he says straightening up.
-------
in the carriage you zone out, not listening completely to their conversation. you were just focusing on trying to look more professional and proper. you ran a paw over your chest and head fur to smooth it down. whatever this is, I need to look professional. "very good, (name). even she knows to look pretty!" madam red says, smiling at you. Ciel makes a "tch" sound and crosses his arms. you look at your master briefly. he was dressed as a cute little girl, in a pink dress and hat. this is rich... haha! you snort abruptly, earning a scowl from him. "find something funny, (name)?" No no.. sorry, sorry. "mmemmeew..." you mutter looking the other direction. "that's what I thought." he growled. how'd he even know I find his advances hilarious??
-------
at the gathering, you are off to find the supposed killer of the many women in London. you sat perched on sebastian's shoulder, a calm, collected look on your face. I can risk looking like some frisky, finicky feline. it would gain unwanted attention. gotta look professional for master. you think to yourself. though, it took all your willpower not to playfully bat at the chains that dangled off sebastian's glasses. you look over at Ciel and take note of his bitter face. I am genuinely sorry it came to this. "mmrm." he looks over at you and gives a reassuring stare. "don't worry. as long as Elizabeth isn't here to see me like this." he muttered to you.

then as if on cue...

"that dress is so adorable!"

aw (cuss word).

you turn to see the dim drill haired blonde in a red dress speaking with other women. of course she's here! "raaaaaa...." you lowly growl to yourself. "please calm down. we must move quickly." said sebastian as he put his hand on ciel's back and tried to guide him away- "OOO! you with the pink, your dress is just gorgeous!" OF COURSE SHE NOTICED US!! "RAaaarrr..." you growl audibly. you and the two go and hide behind a relatively large cake. you take the moment to dip your tail tip into the frosting and licked it off. mmm... "where did she go?" Elizabeth asked out loud before walking away. "I didn't expect her here.." sebastian muttered. "if someone saw the head of the phantomhives dressed like this.." Ciel whispered. the name would be tarnished for decades. "mmmeorrmorw." you seemingly finished. he turns bright red for a moment at the thought of being remembered as a cross dresser at the age of 13. "let's find madam red!" he suggested, earning a nod from both you and sebastian. you look around for the vivid red woman, only to find her surrounded by men swooning over her. this plan's going great. "there she is!" exclaimed that irritatingly high voice. FAN-FLIPPING-TASTIC!

"follow me young mistress." sebastian said grabbing ciel's arm, dragging him away. great. great. this is going... just... you perk your ears at the sound of chattering women. "Lord Druitt looks as gorgeous as ever tonight!" your eyes dart to and fro until they fall onto some tall, attractive looking fellow in a white suit with purple eyes and long platinum blonde hair that shimmered as bright as the sun. hey! "meow!" you meowed to them, making them turn their heads to the man. "let's go." ciel said, voice filled with determination. however, as soon as you set foot inside the place, beautiful violin music starts to play. you then watch in interest as men and women take each other's hands and start dancing with one another. oh! the dance has started!

you watch as the pairs fill the dance floor. huh. how we supposed to get by now?? "we have no choice. we'll have to dance across." sebastian suggests. ciel cringed at the idea. of course, ciel protested the idea. it's not like we have a choice here... ciel eventually relented. you snort again as you watch as they take hands, earning a glare from ciel. then they start to dance like the other humans are dancing on the floor. you feel like part of the dance as you start purring, twirling about perched on the demon's shoulder. this is kinda fun! "glad you're enjoying yourself, dear." sebastian whispers to you. you raise your head to see that Elizabeth has her eyes on you.

(cuss word)!
-------
you make it to the other side of the floor. but ciel has somehow to the floor collapsed from exhaustion. how does one get tired from a smooth activity like this..? your ears twitched at the sound of clapping. you look up to see the blonde male looking in your direction. "your dancing is exquisite, little robin." you narrow your eyes. sebastian bowed lightly. "young mistress, allow me to fetch you something to drink." with that, he turned and walked the other direction.

good luck, young mas...-mistress!
