*Time Skip to Going to Town*

James' POV
"Do I really have to wear this?!" I exclaimed. Annabel and Raven giggled while Ciel just smirked. "Oh, come on James!" Raven said happily,"You look quite....regal!" I began to laugh. "Regal?! Is that the best you could come up with?!" Ciel, frowning, said,"Well, this is a formal ball." I groaned. "Fine....I'll wear this...." I headed back to where I changed and wore my clothes again. I went back to Ciel, Annabel, Raven, and Sebastian. Sebastian had been surprisingly quiet so far... I was getting a bit suspicious. Grinning, I said,"Now it's the girls' turn!" Annabel looked slightly excited while Raven rolled her eyes and groaned.

"Come on out!" I said. Annabel decided to try on dresses first. Raven did not object. Annabel came out slowly. She wore a deep blue floor length ballgown that had sleeves up to her elbows and ruffles at the end. I glanced over to Ciel, who was blushing a little. "How do I look?" Annabel said, posing. Raven laughed and said,"You look lovely. Plus, the dress color matches Ciel's eyes!" Annabel began to blush. "I-it doesn't matter what the color matches...." She trailed off. It was silent for a few moments. Both Ciel and Annabel were blushing, not even looking at each other. I clapped my hands and said,"Now that we know what Annabel is going to wear, it's Raven's turn!" Annabel giggled and said,"Oh, Raaaaaven!!!" We both grinned evilly. Raven began to back up slowly, exclaiming,"Are you even sure that that's the dress that Annabel is..!" Annabel nodded and said,"This is what I'm going to wear!" She grabbed Raven's arm and began to drag her toward the dresses. "You have to pick out some for yourself! I'm sure you'll be fine!" Raven tried to twist herself out of Annabel's grip. Apparently, for someone so small, she had an iron grip. Annabel finally let go of her arm and told her to pick out some dresses and try them on. Raven quickly picked out two dresses and headed to the changing room. A few minutes later, she emerged from the changing room wearing a deep red dress that looked almost exactly like Annabel's dress. "Eh....." Annabel shook her head. "I don't think it suits you.." Raven exhaled. "Oh thank goodness! I didn't really like this color but it was the first one I grabbed." Laughing, Annabel said,"Try on the other dress!" Raven went back to the changing room. It was a while before Raven came out again. When Sebastian and I saw Raven, our jaws dropped. Instead of a deep red, the dress was midnight black with royal blue ruffles. There was a deep blue bow on the back. She looked absolutely....stunning. Raven looked at us and blushed. "W-what? Do you not like it?"

I then noticed Sebastian was about to say something but I spoke first. "You look very beautiful, milady." She looked at me and giggled. "Why, thank you!" Sebastian said,"That dress suits you very well..." To this Raven had no reply. I assume she's still mad at him. Goodness, I forgot how long she could hold a grudge! Sebastian must have assumed the same thing because he looked upset. "I'll take this dress." She said a bit coldly. Ciel nodded. "We will go back to the manor to get ready and then go to Elizabeth's manor."
