Sieglinde stirred though her strawberry smoothie, looking up at her friend through her eyelashes. "Which problem did you need help with, Ciel?" Her fellow student and close friend, Ciel Phantomhive, sighed. "Number 20. Undertaker is crazy- all we do in class is dissect stuff". She laughed. "That's what you get for taking Anatomy. Has he made you do a person yet?"Ciel looked like he was about to puke. Sieglinde laughed. "I'm just joking. And the answer is on page 527, paragraph 3". The bluenette rolled his eyes. "Real help you are". They were sitting outside in the school's courtyard, the sun warm on their back. Ciel's girlfriend, Doll, and his cousin, Lizzie, took their seats at the table. "Hey, Smile!" Doll wrapped her arms around her boyfriend. Ciel scowled. "What took you two so long?" Lizzie set her bag on the table. "Unlike you, we actually have practice. The fencing meet was great, by the way." Doll giggled and hug the dark haired girl. "Yeah! I'm starting to get my State Gymnastics routine down! The conference is next month, I'm so excited!" Sieglinde smiled. "That sounds like fun for you. Doll, how's your family doing?"
Doll smiled widely, and bounced up and down happily. "Joker finally got his license to buy property for business, and my big sis is graduating from College at the end of this month! She's going into Zoology, to be a vet for zoos!" "That's so great! How cute!" Lizzie squealed. "What about your family? How's Wolfram, Sieg?" Sieglinde's face lit up. "He's doing great! Since he left the military, he's been in training to be an ROTC Officer for local kids who are joining the military." Ciel smiled as Doll held his hand and spoke. "That's so awesome, Sieg! Are you two going to go celebrate?" Sieglinde laughed nervously. "Yeah, but nothing too extravagant- just a nice sit-down dinner at Ruth Chris and then we're going to see the new Poltergeist movie." Lizzie made a face while Doll snapped her fingers and pouted. "Lucky!" "What are you and your family going to do for James and Mally?" Lizzie questioned. Doll shrugged. "We'll probably just order in Pizza Hut and watch a movie off Movietube. There's a lot of us, after all- and you can call James and Mally 'Beast and Joker', they won't mind." Lizzie nodded, her blonde curls bouncing on her head. "Ciel, when is Sebastian coming back to town from Uni?" In response to the question, Ciel shrugged. "He may be back at the end of next week, but he got a job promotion at the restaurant he works at, so who knows." Lizzie pouted. "But Ciel, I wanna meet his boyfriend!" Doll 'awwed' and Sieglinde looked surprised, but happy. "Dude! They finally hooked up!" Sieglinde straightened her snapback and green tshirt, grabbing her bag from the floor after checking her phone. "Well, we get out in 10, but I gotta get to the stairs before the crowd. My AP Chem teacher is unforgiving with tardies." Doll waved. "Later, girlie! C'mon Lizzie, time for English!"
…
Soma sat himself in the desk beside Lizzie. "Hey, queenie, what'd I miss?" Lizzie shrugged. "Nothing important." Let him figure out what day the exam was. "Cool," he said, propping his feet up on the desk. "How'd your tournament go Monday?" Lizzie blushed. "Varsity placed first, so our team advances to the National Semifinals in Salt Lake City." Soma raised his hand. "High five, black mamba!" She laughed and high fived him back. "Stop calling me that- this is life, not Kill Bill." Soma laughed and mock pouted. "But I love that movie."
"You're more 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air'."
"Hey!"
…
Doll tossed her backpack on the couch in the large house. "I'm home!" She hollered. Dagger lifted her up in a bone-crushing hug. "There's our lil sis!" Doll smiled, looking to Joker as he came down the stairs. "Joker! Congratulations, big brother!" She cheered, wrapping her arms tightly around his torso. His arm came up to pat her head and ruffle her hair. "Thanks, kiddo. Couldn't have done it without yous guys." She smiled. "Ooh, hey Joker, can we order in Pizza Hut?" Doll batted her eyes, lids bright with shimmering eyeshadow. "Pretty please, big brother?" Joker smiled. "You bet'cha we can!"
A few minutes after they ordered pizza, they came back home to find Beast at the kitchen table with at least three textbooks spread around her, notes haphazardly scattered on the tabletop. Joker placed his hand on her shoulder. "Studying for finals?" Beast sighed, making a quick note in her book, dull page brightened by purple pen. "Understatement of the year." Joker laughed, moving to reorganize her notes. "Pizza's gonna be here in ten minutes. You gonna eat, or stay a sponge burrito." Beast raised an eyebrow and curled her lip. "What in the hell is a 'sponge burrito'?!" Joker chuckled. "Essentially, it's a college student. Your brain is a sponge, and you have a blanket wrapped around you like a burrito." For once, Beast laughed. "Where is the lie?"
When the pizzas got to their house, everyone dug in. Jumbo cut everybody their slices. They settled in the living room and turned on a comedy, laughing hysterically. Dagger ate nearly a whole supreme pizza himself and Joker drew out the floor plans for his business while helping Beast study advanced medical terms and scientific names with flash cards.
Doll loved her family. (Even when Snake stole half of her Meat Lovers pizza.)
…
"Did you like the movie?" Wolfram asked, holding Sieglinde's hand. She laughed. "It was really good, even had me scared for a minute there." Wolfram laughed with her, steps to the car in sync. When they got to the car, Sieglinde stood on her tiptoes and hugged the blonde man. "Thank you." It was times like this that she was thankful for having him. After her mother's chemical warfare project for exposed, all of Sieglinde's life was flipped upside down. He hugged her back. "You're very welcome, Lady." Whenever he wrapped his strong arms around her, Sieglinde felt like she was wrapped in a big blanket of protectiveness. She felt little, but not insignificant. Like a princess.
When they got home, Wolfram went to his office to finish some work-related things, so Sieglinde had some free time on her hands. She grabbed some medical books from her shelf and sat on her bed. They described military first aid and things of that sort.
Dreams had to start somewhere.

Ciel came downstairs in time for dinner, giving his homework the 'out-of-sight-out-of-mind' treatment. His aunt was setting the table while whatever she was making cooked. She spread her arms open, expecting a hug. "Ciel! How was school?" He hugged her back, resting his chin on her shoulder. "It was fine, Aunt Ann." She patted his back. "How's that girlfriend of yours?" Ciel sighed, but smiled. "She's good." His aunt rolled her eyes. "Boy, you and your two word answers, I swear. Well, dinner will be ready soon, so don't you even think about complaining."
His aunt, Ann Durless, was a well-known pediatrician in their city. She loved children, including her nephews and nieces. Maybe too much, judging by the expensive birthday presents.
Ciel brought out his phone and sent a call via Skype. When it was answered, Ciel saw a familiar blob of black hair. "Hi brat." Ciel stuck out his tongue. "Hi hooker." Sebastian laughed as Aunt Ann yelled at Ciel for his 'language'. "That's what you get. How's life?" Ciel shrugged. "You know, it's life. Finals going good?" Sebastian laughed sheepishly. "Sure hope my scholarship covers retaking history." Ciel scoffed. "It's not my fault you fall asleep in class."
"I bet you're excited for your gym final." Sebastian grinned like a cat, smiled stretching. The winged eyeliner added to the effect. Ciel huffed. "I hate having Aunt Frances and Uncle Alex as coaches. They expect so much." Sebastian shrugged, looking at his nails. "That or you're a wimp." Ciel threateningly pointed a finger at his phone. "Why don't you come back to town and I'll punch you in the face and show you how much of a wimp I am!"
Sebastian chuckled and held up his hands in surrender. "No need to get puffy. I've got a date tomorrow and a bruised eye wouldn't look attractive, would it?" Ciel rolled his eyes. "Okay, whatever." The bluenette looked back. "Well, I gotta go, dinner's ready. Tell your boyfriend I said hi. See ya." Sebastian waved back. "Will do. See you soon, bratty."
