So this is based off of something that happened the first day of camp. It's kind of AUish I guess.

Also Thomas is my friend Mya's OC. He's Marius butler. I also have permission to RP him and write him. He also likes annoying Sebastian and Claude.
~~~~~

Summer camp was never Ciel's idea of fun. However, when the queen gave him a case, he had to obey. Yet, things didn't get too bad until he and his friends got trapped on an island. Yes, island. The young earl was stuck on an island. And yes, he had friends as well. He had brought some along to help solve the case, and Sebastian of course found a way in as a consoler. Anyway, back to being trapped on an island.

It was just supposed to be a quick trip. But here he was, entering hour number three, of being trapped on a freaking island. Of course, the consoler they came with wasn't Sebastian, they'd already be off this stupid island if it was. Not to mention the consoler they came with left to 'go get help'.

"Hey, look," Alois grabbed everyone's attention. "I found some blueberries."

Everyone's stomach growled at the mention of food, yet Ciel frowned.

"How do we know they're okay to eat?" He asked.

Alois hesitated before answering. "Well, I was hungry, so I may or may not have eaten some. I haven't puked yet so..."

Hope and Ciel stared at him with a blank expression.

"You stupid idiot." Ciel put it simply.

Doll only shrugged. "Seems like a good enough reason to me."

"Doll, just...no," Ciel shook his head. "Just no."

The brown haired girl shrugged once more, plucking a berry from Alois' hand before eating it. Ciel went wide eyed, rushing over to Doll. Doll held him an arms length away. She nodded to herself, testing the flavor of the blueberry before swallowing it. She looked at the other three.

"It's okay to eat," she confirmed before cringing. "Might need to wash 'em off first, but other then that, they're fine."

"I like your friend," Alois told Ciel. "She has my thinking style." He smiled a bit. "But I think my friend is better."

Hope rolled her eyes, non-romantically kissing his cheek. Alois grinned triumphantly, wrapping an arm around Hope's shoulders to pull her into an awkward side hug, which she leaned into.

"Cutest couple of the year award goes to Alois Trancy and Hope Everheart," Ciel announced, Doll nodded in agreement.

Alois and Hope rolled their eyes. Even though they weren't a real couple, people still teased that they were, Ciel and Doll being two out of a dozen. Alois chuckled a bit to himself before looking at the others.

"C'mon," he told them. "I'm not picking these berries myself. I'll show you where they are."

He grabbed Ciel and Hope's hands, dragging them off. Ciel grabbed Hope's hands, dragging them off, Ciel grabbed Doll's hand, dragging her along with them. Alois stopped when they got to the blueberry bush.

"We don't know how long it'll be till help comes," Ciel told them. "We should be careful with how many we eat. Just in case we're stuck here over night."

Hope rolled her eyes. "We're not going to be stuck here that long."

"Yeah," Doll agreed. "I mean, you were smart enough to bring Black along. And the second he finds out you're in 'trouble', he'll come save ya."

"Sebastian doesn't always save me," Ciel claimed, picking berries from the bush.

"Sure, and Claude isn't the best pillow," Alois sarcastically stated.

"He's not," Ciel protested.

"Then who is?" Alois challenged.

"Sebastian," Ciel replied. "Or Gramps, or Finn-"

"Or any of your 'friends'." Hope continued for him.

"I can count them as friends," Ciel huffed with annoyance.

"They live with you! They have to love you!" Alois claimed.

"And what friends do you two have?" Ciel questioned with a smirk.

"Your girlfriend." Hope replied with a smirk of her own.

"Oh!" Doll and Alois cheered.

Ciel stared at the blond girl with a shocked expression. Hope was a quiet person, and when she did talk, she was nice and sweet.

"You're supposed to be the nice one!" Ciel complained.

Hope just shrugged with an innocent smile.

"Once she starts getting comfortable with someone, she's not always nice," Alois chuckled. "She can be mean."

"She's warming up to me?" Ciel squealed a bit. "Aw!" He hugged her. "That's cute."

"Not cute..." Hope mumbled, going back to being shy and quiet.

Ciel chuckled a bit, stepping away from the hug. However, he did keep an arm wrapped around Hope's shoulders in a way so that if she wanted to pull away, she could.

"Alright, I think we have enough berries," Alois spoke up, glancing at Ciel and Hope jealously. Hope was his best friend, not Ciel's. Ciel had Doll.

Hope giggled a bit at Alois, taking his hand so he didn't feel so left out. Alois squeezed her hand, the jealousy diminishing, yet not vanishing completely. It's not that he was jealous because he had a crush on Hope, because he didn't. He could never imagine being in a romantic relationship with anyone after his past, and Hope felt the same way. They both had scars that kept them away from romance, and it's not like it bugged either of them. They'd be much more comfortable staying friends.

Doll spotted a boat off in the distance. "Hey look! It's Black and... Some guy."

Hope squinted, trying to identify the other man. "I think it's Thomas." She decided.

"How do you figure that?" Alois asked.

"He's annoying Sebastian." Hope replied.

Ciel nodded in understanding. "Makes sense."

The boat floated closer to the island. Once it docked, Hope smiled in victory.

"I told you it was Thomas!" Hope stated triumphantly. "I told you!" She repeated.

Sebastian wasted no time jumping out of the boat and hurrying over to Ciel. Jumping out of the boat actually tipped it over, with Thomas still inside. The salamander demon flailed around in the water. Finally finding a way out from under the boat, he glared at Sebastian.

"Hey!" He complained.

"I'm not even sorry!" Sebastian called over his shoulder.
