I do not own black Butler.
Ciel was seated at the dining room table with his head in his hands. The weather was not very bright today, after the queen thought it was a kind idea to make him throw a party and frame him for murder after that well that just tired him out as much as he didn't want to admit it he has still a 13-year-old child at the very least they have Snake on their side.
Mey-Rin stood to the side of the table waiting for an order.
"Mey-Rin."
Mey-Rin straightened up as her name was called. "Y-yes young master?"
"I'm hungry, go get me something sweet." Ciel turned his face to her.
"Yes, young master I will go get it! I will!" Mey-Rin ran off to the kitchen, tripping on the way there, luckily, she didn't break anything.
Ciel sighed as she left 'When will she learn? I should give her some new glasses so she can see better.'
"Young master is everything alright?" Sebastian walked into the room.
Ciel sighed, "Yes Sebastian I'm fine, I'm fine."
Sebastian looked at Ciel concerned. "Are you sure? You seem ill."
Ciel shook his head, "Sebastian I'm fine, just go make sure Mey-Rin doesn't break anything."
"Of course, young master." Sebastian bowed and walked to the door. "By the way young master Lady Elizabeth and her family are coming over tonight.
Ciel flinched at the news and turned to Sebastian but he was already out the door. Ciel sighs and lays his head on the table, 'Why, why now? What in god's name do they want now?'
(kitchen)
Bard was cutting potatoes and putting them on the pot when Mey-Rin runs in almost falling over. Bard turns and looks at her.
"You ok?" Bard puts the knife down.
"Y-yes I'm fine. "Mey-Rin straightened up and dusts off her skirt. "The Master is hungry, that he is."
"Alright let's get 'I'm something to eat then." Bard went to the pantry, he grabbed eggs, flour, and butter from the pantry and brought it out only to see Sebastian.
"What are you planning to make, Sebastian?"
"Lemon drizzle slices. Perfect for afternoon tea."
"Very good I'll start the tea. Mey-Rin get the tea dishes." Sebastian started on the Earl Grey tea.
Bard set the ingredients on the table and went to get sugar, baking powder, lemon and milk. He mixed the butter and sugar together then added the eggs and mixed again. Then added the flour, baking powder, lemon and milk. He mixed with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients were combined. Then he poured the mix into a pan and put it in the oven. By the time, it was done Sebastian was done with the tea and Mey-Rin was done polishing off the dishes.
"Sebastian, there done." Bard gave him the lemon slices. "Hope he likes them."
Sebastian nodded and put them on the tray. "I'm surprised that you didn't blow them up with your flamethrower." Sebastian smirked.
"Hey I don't always use it." Bard turned to yell at his but he was already out the door. "Damn."
Bard rubbed the back of his neck then started to clean the kitchen with the help of Mey-Rin.
(dining room)
Sebastian walked into the dining room to find his lord with his head on the table. "Master are you sure you're alright."
"Yes, Sebastian I'm fine just worried about Lizzie." Ciel picked up his head as Sebastian put a piece of Lemon slice on the table "Lemon drizzle slices my lord and for tea a cup of Earl grey."
"Thank you, Sebastian." Ciel took a bite of it didn't taste like Sebastian's cooking but it wasn't bad.
"Of course, Young Master." Sebastian bowed.
(Kitchen)
Mey-Rin and Bard finished cleaning the kitchen when Finny came running in soon after that Snake came in. "Finny you alright? Asks Webster."
"Yes, I'm worried as well Webster." Snake whispered.
"Yeah but- but the people, outside, looked so much like them." Finny gasped and tried to catch his breath.
"Finny, breathe. What people?" Bard got him a cup of water.
"Thanks." Finny drank the water while Mey-Rin, Snake, and Bard watched him.
Finny finished his glass then set it on the counter and took a deep breath.
"Ok Finny now who did you see outside?" Mey-Rin asked.
"What? Oh right, there are people outside who look exactly like Master Ciel's parents. I didn't know people could play such a sick joke." Finny tightened his fists.
"Finny calm down." Bard grabbed his shoulder.
"Come on, let's go see them." The servants nodded and ran to the entrance hall.
(dining room)
There was a knock on the door that stopped Ciel from eating. Ciel looked up.
"I thought the Milford's weren't coming until later?" He looks at Sebastian.
"They weren't." Sebastian walked to the door as the servants ran into it, Ciel was curious so he followed and stood at the top of the stairs.
Sebastian opened the door and stared at the four people in the doorway.
"Sebastian who is it?" Ciel spoke from the top of the staircase.
"Ciel." A blonde woman spoke.
Ciel froze, he knew that voice, he slowly descended the staircase till he reached the bottom and slowly walked to the door. "Who are you?" Ciel asked.
"Ciel it's us you know us." A young man spoke with confidence.
"No, you're dead." Ciel stood in front of them.
"No Ciel were very much alive. "Standing in the doorway of his manner was Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive, alive and well.
