"...." speaking
'....'thinking


Madam Red used the Aunt card on Ciel, forcing him to have Sebastian train Grell to be a better butler. At the time of Madam Reds request, Ciel didn't think that it would be so bad, but he was very, very wrong.

"Ah!" Screamed Grell as he was on top of a food cart, which was speeding down the hallway of the Phantomhive manor. Grell was loving every single minute of it. 'This is fun,' thought Grell.

The food cart eventually made its way to the Phantomhive dining room. 'My apologies, Finny,' thought Grell as he watched the food cart stop in front of Finny, spilling all its contents onto Finny.

"Hot! Hot! Hot!" Shrieked Finny, jumping around in pain from the hot liquid that was spilt on him by Grell. "Hot!" Grell went to Finnys side to try and do something about the hot liquid.

"I'm so sorry!" Exclaimed Grell as he went to grab a handkerchief from the table. "Let me help you," said Grell, grabbing the table cloth instead, be it an accident or not they didn't need to know.

Ciel rubbed his forehead in frustration, at Grell idiot antics. He was truly incompetent, or that was what Ciel was lead to believe.
"Master, why did you agree to take this useless idiot,'' whispered Bard, into Ciels ear.

"You're one to talk Bard," said Ciel, pausing for a moment and then he continued. "It didn't seem like such a bad idea, at the time."

Flashback

"Oh, Ciel, darling. I have a tiny problem. You see my butler Grell,"  told Madam Red as she indicated Grell. "He's utterly incompetent."

"Madam Red-" Ciel was cut off before he could continue.

"Can you have Sebastian train him to be a decent butler? You can't refuse your favourite Aunt, now can you?" Asked Madam Red as she blew a kiss. She went up and hugged Ciel, although it was awkward on his part.

"I thought Sebastian would be the only one inconvenience, I didn't expect to be affect as well," sighed Ciel as he massaged his forehead in frustration.

"Hohoho," hummed Tamaka, standing in the background and drinking his warm tea. Meanwhile, the other servants were glaring daggers at Grell.

"I'm so sorry for causing all this trouble. I simple don't know how to apologise enough to you, Wait! That's it! The only thing that I can do now is die," exclaimed Grell, magically pulling out a dagger and aiming it at his neck. "I shall atone with my death."

"Woah, calm down a second!" Cried Bard.

"Em, should we take the knife away?" Asked Mey-Rin while pushing up her glasses.

"There is no need for that," said Sebastian with a smile. "Besides, think of the horrible mess that you'll make," continued Sebastian as he placed a hand on Grell's shoulder and used the other hand to take the dagger from said man.

'Did the demon just touch me? He better of washed his hands, I don't want man whore,' thought Grell. "Thank you so much, Sebastian! You're very kind," sad Grell with stars in his eyes.

"That was kindness?" Exclaimed Mey-Rin and Finny.

"Now what I would like to know, is how you think it is except able to serve the young Master such weak tea?" Questioned Sebastian as he began prepare tea and explain what to put in it.
"Watch me. One spoon full for each person and one for the pot. Finally add and half a pint of water then wait as it steeps, until dark."

Grell gave a silent hum as he watched Sebastian poured some of the tea into a cup, he then placed the cup in front of his master. Ciel picked up the tea cup and silently drank it. "Young Master, the carriage is ready," told Sebastian.

"Fine. Lets go then," said Ciel as he placed the cup down.

"As for the rest of you, I want this place absolutely spotless. Do you understand? Grell, you should just sit back and relax, so that you won't cause anymore trouble. And if you wish to seek your eternal rest, please see to it outside and try not to make a big mess," told Sebastian.

'Is that a challenge that I hear?' thought Grell as he watched the two leave for the carriage. 'How much chaos can I cause before they come back?'

*****

In the Phantomhive garden, Grell was cutting some trees with a pair of hedge shears. "The Funtom company, the maker of toys and confectionary has grown rapidly in the last 3 years and this estate testifies to the companies prosperity," hummed Grell. "The manor is magnificent don't you think?"

"It has only been been around for 2 years," commented Bard while lighting and taking a puff out of his cigarette.

"Odd it looks stately and dignified."

"Of course it does, that was the intention," said a voice, causing  Grell to turn around and see an adult version of Tanaka. "Ah!'' Screamed Grell in fright.

"Look it's the real Tanaka!" Called Finny.

"We haven't seen him in months," continued Mey-Rin.

"This manor was built to be a replica of the previous one. It is identical from every single detail from the windows to the stairwells and even the cracks and the pillars," explained Tanaka.

"Identical?" Asked Grell.

"The original Phantomhive manor burnt down 3 years ago, the entire estate was engulfed in flames. It was a great tragedy."

"Oh, I see," nodded Grell in understanding. Had it really been 3 years since Ciel made a deal with a demon? "Forgive me for asking, but did Master Ciels parents?"

"Yes they did, sadly they both perished in the fire."

"How terrible, that poor boy,'' said Grell. 'That poor boy has a pet demon," thought Grell as smoke started to come out of Tanaka, causing him to deflate.

"Oh no Tanaka!" Exclaimed Finny.

"His energy and stamina rates are below a normal persons. Being real Tanaka exhausts him. He just needs rest," told Bard.

"Ahh!" screamed Mey-Rin as she pointed at the trees and bushes. Every turned to see what she was pointing at, only to find that they looked like giant skulls.

"Why are they all skulls?"

"Ah! No not again. I have made yet again another unacceptable mistake. I can't go any longer," said Grell as he ran to a tree that had a rope tied on it. He then proceeded to place his head inside it, ready to die.

"Stop trying to die!" Exclaimed all the servants.

"But I have too, it's the only way to redeem myself."

A mysterious person arrived at the seen. When the Phantomhive servants saw this person, they ran away, trying to escape from the person.

*****

Once Ciel and Sebastian returned, they went inside the manor.As seen as they walked inside, they were shocked at the hundreds of cute decorations that was everywhere. The Phantomhive servants rushed over to them.

"Help us!" Exclaimed Finny.

"She's crazy!" Shouted Bard.

Sebastian steeped forward and tried to defuse the situation. "Who is crazy?" Asked Sebastian with a calm expression.

"Ah!" Exclaimed a voice from another room. The group went into the room, only to find Grell hanging from the ceiling.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?"asked Ciel, demanding an answer from Grell.

"I believe I'm in the process of dying," told Grell while being hung up and used as a decoration.

"Get him down Sebastian," sighed Ciel.

"Yes, sir," said Sebastian as he helped Grell down. The unidentified person ran to Ciel and hugged him tightly.

"Ciel! Your back, I missed you so much!" Exclaimed the blonde haired girl.

"Elizabeth, why are you here?" Asked Ciel.

"How many times do I have to tell you call me Lizzy. Aw, you really are the cutest thing ever," hummed Elizabeth.

"Hello, my Lady," said Sebastian.

"Aw, you took him down. He made for such a beautiful decoration," said Elizabeth as she saw Grell on the ground.

"He was stealing the rooms beauty," commented Sebastian. Grell secretly rolled his eyes at the demon.

"Just look at what I've done with the place," Said Elizabeth as she pointed at the cute decorations and smiling at them.

"My mansion... look at it... it's so pink," sulked Ciel, horrified at the changes that Elizabeth made to his mansion.

"It's amazing. Don't you think?" Asked Elizabeth to Tanaka, who was dressed up as a girl with blonde curls. "Here, I have a present for you Sebastian," told Elizabeth as she brought out a pink bonnet and placed it on Sebastian's head.

Everyone apart from Elizebeth snickered at his predicament. Sebastian gave a death glare and smirked, sending chills through everyones spines. "Do you like it Sebastian?" Asked Elizabeth.

"I am honour that you did this for a humble servant such as myself. Your generosity overwhelms me," said Sebastian as he switched his smirk with a smile.

"What are you doing here lizzy?" Questioned Ciel, he wasn't informed about this.

"I sneaked out," told Elizabeth.

"Who's that Sebastian?" Questioned Grell.

"She is Lady Elizebeth Midford, they young masters betrothed," answered Sebastian.

"Ah I see," hummed Grell.

"Wait... What?" Exclaimed Bard in confusion. The other servants also had a confused look on their faces.

"Nobles marry other nobles that is how things work," said Sebastian.

"Now that the manor is dressed up nicely let's have a ball," said a cheerful Elizabeth.

"Wait... no!" Shouted Ciel in frustration. He wasn't going to have a ball.

"Ciel, you can wear the clothes that have bought you,

"Wait... Lizzy!"

'Undertaker will probably cry at not being able to see this, when I tell him,' thought Grell.

*****

The Phantomhive manor was dressed in a ball like fashion. Grell changed into a white dress with two bows placed at the chest area, so that he would appear cute. "This is so embarrassing," said  Grell said. "Why couldn't it at least be red. I can't live with this shame I'm better off dead."

Grell opened the window ready to jump but stopped and turned his head. "Nobody's going to try and stop me?" Asked Grell. Before they could answer Ciel made his way down the stairs with Sebastian, both wearing the clothes that Elizabeth gave him.


"Ciel you look adorable!" Exclaimed Elizabeth, she saw that Ciel didn't wear the ring that she had bought him. "Why didn't you wear the ring that I got you?" Cried Elizabeth, faking a tantrum.


"Lizzy..." warned Ciel.

"Fooled you," said Elizabeth as she jumped on Ciel, trying to get the ring off him. "Got it!" She held the Phantomhive ring in her hand.

"Give it back!" Said an angry Ciel.

"Why are you so mad at me? I hate this stupid ring!"  Elizabeth flung the ring on the ground, Grell did something that he probably shouldn't have, he lunged forth and caught it in his hand.


"Elizabeth!" Shouted Ciel as he was about to slap her but Sebastian caught it.

"Please understand my Lady, that was a precious family heirloom. The young Master has grown attach to it," said Sebastain.

"It was that important and I tried to destroy it," muttered Elizabeth.

"It's fine...now let's dance the night away, shall we?" Asked Ciel as Sebastian started to play a violin while Grell started to sing as Ciel and Elizabeth danced the night away.


*****

Once Elizabeth fell asleep, so it was decided that Grell would take Elizabeth home. Outside of the Phantomhive mansion, Grell was standing with Ciel and Sebastian. "Don't worry I'll make sure she will get home safely. Sebastian thank you for teaching me on how to be a butler. And Ciel I believe this is yours." Grell placed the Phantomhive heirloom ring in Ciels hand.

"How?" Asked Ciel, rasing an eyebrow.

"I am not completely incompetent, now I'll take the young lady home. Goodbye Lord Phantomhive, Sebastian," said Grell as he commanded the carriage to leave. He left behind a stunned Ciel and a curious demon.


'I wonder what your soul would taste like, Grell Sutcliff,' thought Sebastian while liking his lip.

'What secrets do you hold Sutcliff?' Mused Ciel with a frown.

"Sebastian," commanded Ciel.

"Yes, my Lord," replied Sebastian.

"Let's go back inside."

"Of course, my Lord."
