The early morning came and Sebastian was awake and ready to awake his master. He made sure that everything was ready for the big surprise of Ciel's life. He ordered Mey-Rin to get Rose a new dress and the men to get a carriage so then it didn't look suspicious. He walked into Ciel's room with a soft smile on his face and placed the tray of tea and the newspaper.

"Good Morning, my lord. Rise and shine." He said as he opened the drapes and tied them to the end of the window. Ciel groaned but opened his eyes and sat up.

"This morning's meal is a whole plateful of thick pancakes with raspberry sauce and crisp bacon. Along with that is a nice fresh cup of-"

"Earl Grey." Ciel interrupted and Sebastian smiled. It was almost like it was yesterday when he would guess from the smell once he held the teacup in his little hands. Oh, how the eventful years went by.

"Correct again, my lord," He said as he started dressing Ciel.

"Sebastian, I'm not a child. I can change myself." Ciel said as he removed Sebastian's gloved hands away. Sebastian was a bit shocked but obliged.

"Well, if you are in any trouble, just tell me," Sebastian said and Ciel said nothing but continued dressing himself up. Once he was about to put on his eyepatch, he groaned and it signaled Sebastian to fix it, which he did with a smile.

"Even when so grown up, you still can't tie your eyepatch. How amusing." Sebastian chuckled and Ciel gave him his familiar glare through the mirror in front of him. The familiar glare that made Sebastian smirk grow to a small smile. 

"Well, you seem chipper today, Sebastian. To what is your reasoning?" Elisabeth said as she watches her betrothed's butler finish tying the eyepatch with her happy smile formed on her face. Sebastian's smile didn't remove from his face as he explained his reason for his "chipper" mood.

"Well, really, I'm happy to say that my lord has no work to do for today. No meetings, no paperwork, and no duties from the queen. He is as free as a bird, as some say." Sebastian said, taking his master's sleeping wear and folding it over his forearm.

"Sebastian, you know very well, I'm busy. I still have to look for Rose."

"Ah! Yes, that reminds me. You do have a special visitor coming today and they will arrive very soon."

"Oh? So soon? Who is it?" Ciel asked, very confused and a bit angered that he was not informed about this special visitor sooner. As if on queue, the couple heard the sound of a carriage and horses troughing until they stopped at the front of the manor. They raced to the window to see the carriage parked in front of the manor.

"Mistress Rose Phantomhive has arrived, to see you, master," Sebastian said and Ciel's eyes widened then he quickly turned his head towards his butler.

"I promised you I would never lie to you from the beginning. Have I ever lied to you, my lord?" Sebastian asked and Ciel shook his head, his shocked expression still splattered across his face.

"I believe that it is quite rude to leave your guest waiting outside in the heat of the summer inside their carriage, don't you agree?" Sebastian said and Ciel raced through the halls and down the main stairs towards the door with his fiance rushing behind him. Sebastian used his demon speed to catch up with his master and lady with the smile still on his face.

Ciel was about to rip the front door open then stopped, his shaking hand hovering over the handle. 

He hasn't seen his sister in years.

"What if she doesn't remember me or she's mad at me for not finding her sooner?" He asked himself out loud and Lizzy heard his question. She grabbed Ciel's shaking hand and smiled at him with a soft smile.

"She will remember her beloved brother, I'm sure of it. And I know for certain that she wouldn't be cross with you for not finding her sooner as you both wanted. I believe she is extremely overjoyed that she will get to see you again after so long." She said and Ciel nodded then collected himself while taking a deep breath. Sebastian appeared to open the door and revealed the carriage. 

Sebastian then walked quickly to open the carriage as Ciel was a little too anxious to move yet. Sebastian left his hand out and soon a small white-gloved hand reached and placed itself onto his. Soon the long-awaited visitor was escorted out of the carriage.

Rose wore a light blue and white dress with a bow on her left shoulder, with her hair in a loose side braid. She stood there, staring at the man who she recognized as her brother, and her eyes watered as Ciel slowly walked towards her as Lizzy stayed behind on the top step. As Ciel was face to face with the girl in front of him, he placed his hand on her cheek to make sure she was real and it wasn't a dream.

"Rose? It's really you. You're... You're alive." He said, his voice soft then cracked a bit as tears formed in his eyes and Rose smiled softly as her tears finally left her eyes. Ciel couldn't help the urge to just hold her close and cry. As he did, Rose did the same, letting the tears fall down her cheeks and her sobs out of her mouth. Suddenly, a wave of happiness took over him and he swung her around the air, still hugging her and making the siblings laugh with overjoy. Lizzy giggled a bit, seeing how happy they are and started to go down the stairs.

Sebastian couldn't help but smile as well. He hasn't seen Ciel smile in a very long time. A real smile in fact. 

Soon the siblings hear someone clear their throat softly, not try to sound rude for interrupting the happy moment. They saw Lizzy standing there with her smile still on her face.

"Ah yes of course. My apologies. Rose, you remember Elizabeth, my betrothed, don't you?" Ciel said and Rose smiled while Lizzy opened her arms for a hug.

"Of course I do! How could I ever forget my favorite cousin?!" Rose said hugging Lizzy tightly then letting her go the look at how much she has grown.

"I believe that we should gather back into the manor and have some tea and breakfast. I sure you are starving from your long trip, Lady Rose, and I'm sure you would love to catch up on many things with your brother and Lady Elizabeth." Sebastian said after letting the carriage take off.

"Of course, but first, Sebastian, please escort my sister to her new room." Ciel asked and Sebastian bowed then reached his hand out for the girl to grab. Ciel lifted his arm to Lizzy and she took it at the same time Rose took Sebastian's hand and they all walked inside.
