A large group of seagulls fly over the cruise liner, releasing their loud obnoxious calls as they go. The large cruise ship is surrounded and crowded with thousands of people, mainly of the rich class.

"Wow, so this is the Campania!" Finny exclaims.

"Sure is huge!" Bard says.

"So surprising!" Mey-Rin gasps.

"Please, take these to the first class suite, A66," father says to a crew member that's loading the bags, pointing to the large amount of luggage behind us.

The man nods and takes it away.

"A Campania ship," Ciel says. "Majestic Star Line, a bet on the company's service of construction, an extraordinary cruise sailing across the Pacific Ocean."

"I get excited by just watching!" Finny says, hopping around in happiness. "It's so cool that Mr. Snake gets to go!"

"Take good care of the young master for us," Bard says, blowing out some smoke from his cigarette.

"I've always wanted to travel on a ship," Mey-Rin sighs.

Father turns to the servants staying behind. "Please do your jobs properly while we are gone."

"And don't burn down the manor," I add.

"Yes, boss!" the three salute.

The four of us walk up the ramp and Ciel turns around. "Well then, we're off!"

We manage to get a spot near the edge to watch our departure.

Father looks over the edge, watching the waves move below. "We have departed."

"Yeah," Ciel says. "What lies ahead is only known to the great ocean."

The crowd begins to thin out as we continue to look into the sea below.

"Ciel..." a girlish voice calls out in a slight shocked whisper.

"Ha, called it," I nudge my father who sighs.

We turn around to find Elizabeth, who has tears in her eyes, with her family.

"No way!" she cries out. "When I invited you, you said it wasn't possible!"

"I... I wanted to surprise you," Ciel lies.

"You took a vacation for my sake, so we could be together longer!" Elizabeth springs forward, tackling Ciel in a tight hug and knocking his hat off in the process. "I'm so happy!"

Elizabeth's mother, Francis, steps forward. "Elizabeth, please do not display such indecent behavior in public!"

"Mother is right, Lizzy," Edward, her brother, agrees. "Moreover, I still haven't acknowledged you as my brother-in-law." He clenches his fists. "So get off her quickly!" He shouts, pointing a finger at Ciel.

"Come on, brother!" Elizabeth whines. "Why are you still saying that?"

Ciel makes eye contact with her father, who looks completely menacing.

"Aww! You're so cute!" Alexis, her father, cheers, hugging Ciel tightly.

Edward and Francis gasped at Alexis' behavior.

~~~

"So, we can be together for the whole three weeks?" Elizabeth asks excitedly.

We're now in the very large dining hall. Father and Snake have their hair slicked back.

"Yes," Ciel answers her.

"We have never been together for so long before! Escort me to the dinner party, okay Ciel?"

Ciel gives a soft smile. "Okay, okay."

Edward slams his fist on the table, glaring daggers at Ciel and softly growling.

"Oh, dear," I chuckle to myself. "Sister complex..."

"What the hell..." Ciel mutters to himself at Edward's behavior.

"Isn't it alright?" father speaks up to Ciel. "The meeting will be held in two days. How about taking a good rest from the murderer search occasionally?"

Lizzy turns to her servant. "I have to dress up!" she giggles as her maid smiles.

"Eh, you're on vacation, really?" a voice comes from behind. Two people appear beside Ciel.

"You guys are—" Ciel gasps. "Earl Grey! Earl Phipps!"

The one with shorter hair, Earl Phipps, turns to Elizabeth's parents. "It has been awhile, Midford couple," Phipps says.

"Why are you here?" Ciel asks.

"That is our line," Grey smiles, leaning closer to Ciel. "This time we were invited to board this ship as a gift from Her Majesty... and then find a caring person and fall in love." He leans over to me with a wink. He stands up straight with a big grin, moving close to my father. "By the way, I knew it. You weren't dead."

"I have returned to life even more healthy," father responds with an annoyed smile. "Could it be, that it was necessary for me to get injured by someone?"

"Eh!" Grey exclaims. "Well then, you have to be thankful to that 'somebody'. He is the savior of your life."

Father turns to him with another closed eyed smile. "Certainly."

"I'm praying that this will be a fun experience, for both of us," Grey says.

The two silver haired Earls decide to make that their exit as Ciel peers out from the side his chair to watch them leave.

"Kyoyaaa!" a familiar voices shouts out. "How could yooou?"

"Great," Ciel mutters, hiding into his large seat. "What are they doing here?"

Father and I glance over in the direction of the annoying blond's loud voice to find the whole host club seated at a table far opposite of us.

"Well, it is a cruise of invited high class," I admit. "I had a feeling they'd be here."

Honey catches us looking at them and turns to Takashi, pulling on his sleeve and directing his attention to us as well.

Father and I look away as they all begin to realize our presence.

"Ciel?" Lizzy looks on confused. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing you should worry about, Elizabeth," Ciel answers.

"I told you to call me Lizzy, Ciel," she whines.

"I thought I smelled a washed up cat and raven," a voice speaks up.

The speaker moves so we can see them. They're revealed to be Claude, Alois, and the triplets.

"Ah, Earl Trancy!" Lizzy speaks up. "It's nice to see you again."

"Likewise, dear Lizzy," Alois bows, kissing the back of her hand.

"What are you doing here?" Ciel asks, pulling Lizzy's hand out of his grasp.

"The queen asked us to," Alois answers. "She heard you were going, so she messaged me to see if I was going too and now we're here."

"Great," Ciel mutters.

"Did you notice that the host club is here?" Alois asks.

"Just before you arrived," Ciel answers.

"Host club?" Edward growls, looking towards Ciel who sweat drops with an irk mark. "What is your relation with a host club?"

"Oh, Ciel never told you?" Alois smirks. "Ciel, Zandra, Finny, the triplets, and I all joined a club at the school we're scoping out. The club is run by the most popular and rich boys of the school. They entertain the girls of the school."

Edward gives Ciel a hard glare. "You would dare join such a club while engaged to my sister?!"

"The only reason I was apart of the club was because Alois dragged me there to join, and it was undercover work to dig up anything for our mission," Ciel answers calmly.

"That sounds resourceful," Francis agrees. "Though that kind of club is lewd."

"It doesn't matter now," Alois sighs. "We were kicked out cause they figured out our reasoning for being at the school and didn't feel safe around us." Alois shrugs, taking up a vacant chair at the table. Claude and the triplets stand behind him.

"Oh, well, I think it's nice that you're trying to make friends," Elizabeth smiles.

"Enemies is more like it..." Ciel mumbles, slightly slouching in his seat.
