Show Time

As I am putting the final touches of paint on my face, I tell myself the same thing I do every day before a show. "Life is just like a show. There are only two kinds of people: the people who are in the show, or the people in the crowd. All you gotta do is jump up and choose to be in either." "Perfect." I said satisfied with my make up. "Now, show time." I said putting a fake smile on my painted face. I walked out into the crowd. "Welcome to the New Noah's Arch Circus!" I say loudly so the people who are already in the back row can hear me. "As you all get seated we will be presenting our circus to you." I saw bowing mockingly because the people in the stands already are obviously nobles. Up first was the one with no name. We alternated calling him things like Paw or Ear because he can talk to animals. He had our lion. The lion's name was Tobais. They were quite the pair. Then we had Romeo and Juliet as our trapeze artists. They were finaominal. We also had a fire breather named Draco. Our tiperope walker's name is Sky. Our bladethrower's name is Blade. And our freak of nature's name is Hatter. We don't see her as a freak though. Despite her wings, and ability to do whatever she pleases (fly, teleport, really just use your imagination on what else she can do.), we all thought she was a normal person. But normal people don't pay the bills. From her black top hat down to her boots, she was not considered normal in the public's eyes. Of course we have others in our circus, but these are the first stringers.

Ciel's POV
We arrived at the circus ten minutes before start time. When Sebastion and I walked in we heard a female's voice call "Welcome to the New Noah's Arch Circus." "They didn't even bother to change the name? How pathetic." I say to Sebastion who is ever present at my side. "I would advise you to be quiet young master. The show is starting." Sebastion said with that devilish grin of his. "And also if memory serves me correctly you did pathetic while you were here. Am I right young master? Or should I call you Smile?" Sebastion asked with a serious look on his face but sarcasm was laced in his voice. "Just shut up and enjoy the show Sebastion." I snapped at my butler, my face growing red. As the lights dimmed the show began.
