"Ma'am! Excuse me, Ma'am!" I turned around to see Joker chasing after us with a concerned look on his face. I stopped and waited for him to catch up, stopping the young master and my father as well.

   "What is it, Mr Joker?" I asked innocently as he caught up, horror plastered on his face.

   "Y-Your arm." I looked at my bleeding arm. Just so you know, I'm purposefully making it bleed for...reasons. The young master looked away as I rolled up my coat sleeve. My entire forearm was only attached to the bone by a few stray tendons. Thick, rich blood poured in buckets out of the incredibly damaged limb. The visible bone was cracked to all hell, yeah somehow intact. Yeah, this is gonna be a bitch to heal.

   "Would you look at that. It's more tame than what I've originally thought. Huh, go figure." I said, carefully rolling down my coat sleeve. Without consent, Joker grabbed my uninjured arm and started tugging me away, though I stood planted in place.

   "And just where do you think you're taking me?" I asked, cocking an eyebrow. He looked at me like I've gone absolutely bonkers.

   "Where do you think? We have to get you to intensive care!" Without another word from me, I let him drag me away to what looked like was backstage of the circus. On the way to...where ever the hell he was taking me, I healed my arm enough so it would still need work, but not as much as I did before.

   We entered a certain tent and I saw that it was a medical tent. I froze for a second at the...flap-way? I don't know, besides the point. You see, hospitals and I are not friends. We're not even considered acquaintances. Nonetheless, I forced myself into the too familiar smelling room.

   Joker eased me down on a examination table before bolting out of there like his life, or in this case mine, depended on it. I sighed, crossing my legs and trying to focus in my senses around the more calming smell of running blood than the overpowering scent of anaesthetic, which brought back things I'd prefer to keep buried under the rug.

   Lost in my thoughts, I was honestly slightly surprised when Joker came within a ten foot radius of the tent with some other, most likely crippled from the sounds of the wheelchair, person. I uncrossed my legs and watched as Joker and an older brunette man in a wheelchair came in. Joker looked panic-stricken and the man looked rather concerned.

   "Here she is. The woman that was attacked by Acura earlier tonight. Her right arm took a lot a damage." The unfamiliar man only nodded and lightly removed my jacket, revealing my formal, form fitting dress(shown above! She is also wearing her gloves, with a gold ribbon instead of a red one.).

   The brunette man rolled up my right sleeve to reveal the partially healed wound. Joker stared at it with complete bewilderment as the man, who I'm starting to think is a doctor, looked at it.

   "Yes, it's a pretty nasty wound indeed. I'm surprised you've made it this long, young lady. I surely wouldn't have lasted. Luckily, a few stitches should be all that you need. Now, please hold still." He certainly towards me with a needle and medical thread, making me flinch back. Standing, I backed away from them.

   "Thank you oh so kindly for offering to help me, but, you see, I'm not too fond of needles. My lord is an expert in medicine himself, so I believe that I shall head back to the mansion and receive treatment there." I smoothly lied. Before they could protest, I grabbed my jacket, turned and walked out of the tent, putting it on, only to purposefully run into whoever was approaching. What I DIDN'T calculate, though, was that 1) I would fall on top of them, or 2) that it would be snake-boy.

   "U-Um, e-excuse me, sir!" I stuttered, surprising myself. I don't stutter!

   "Miss! Snake, be more careful!" The bust animal tamer from before helped me up by my uninjured arm. The reptilian boy, who apparently goes by Snake, nodded and stood, the lightest possible blush on his cheeks.

   "'Sorry, we weren't paying attention', says Oscar." He apologized, giving a small bow in his head, almost like he was hiding his unique face from me. I gave a slightly sad smile as I walked closer to him, unconsciously healing my own arm.

   "Is this one Oscar?" I asked, reaching my hand out to the creamy scaled, red eyed snake wrapped loosely around his shoulders. He blushed and nodded, watching with slight surprise as Oscar willingly slithered up my arm and nudged my dark pink cheek, making me giggle a bit. We both somehow looked at each other at the same time, my sunset ringed orbs meeting his gorgeous glowing yellow ones. Wait....WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?!?!

   "U-Um, I-I should really get going." I finally said after a while. A saddened look came over his face as I unravelled Oscar from my shoulders, handing him over to his original owner. Snake reached out to grab him, causing our hands to touch lightly during the pass off. My face burned at this as I grew incredibly shy. What the hell is wrong with me!? This isn't me!!

   "Will I see you again?" He asked quietly. I tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear, smiling at the thought.

   "I do hope so." Getting an idea, I smiled as I showed him the fronts and backs of each of my hands. Then, a small branch of dark blue and white speckled orchids appeared in my left hand. I passed it into my right and gave it to him, who looked very surprised.

   "Until next time, Snake." With that, I bid Beast a good night and walked away, as giddy as a school girl, to the carriage we arrived in.

   "You're late, Judy." I bowed formally to the young master. Daddy looked at me like he was worried, as usual.

   "A thousand apologies, Master Ciel. Negotiating with them took longer than I expected. However," I pulled out a paper filled with some information I found out...well, I'll keep how I got it a secret. "I believe that this is a suitable apology, is it not?" I handed it to him and watched as he glazed over the page with his navy blue eye.

   "Very well, Judy. I'll let it pass this time. Come, it's late and I've got paperwork to do in the morning." Daddy and I bowed to him.

   "Of course. Let's get a move on." I opened the door for the young master, offering a hand to help him in as Daddy got Marquee and Rolivan ready for the trip back. Climbing into the carriage myself, we were off into the night, and I was left with the thoughts of the boy with glowing yellow eyes and the cream colored snake.

   (Snake's POV! Rewind to right after Judy left to the carriage)

   That woman...she's...perfection. As I turned and watched her walk away to her next destination, I felt this strange feeling in my chest. Oscar even seemed a little down that she had to go. I was actually debating whether or not to go after her when I felt someone slap my back playfully. Looking behind me, I saw Dagger with a mischievous smile and Beast with a proud grin.

   "Alright, Snake! You lucky reptile!" He said, pride brimming in his voice.

   "You better not mess it up, Snake. She looks like a keeper." Beast said with a wink. What are they talking about?

   "They are suggesting that you and that ravishing lady become mates in the future." Wordsworth said. My face exploded in a red color as I thought of being mates with someone as pretty as her.

   "Well, what's her name, Snake? Come on! I wanna know who my future sister-in-law is!" I blinked out of my thoughts as I realized I didn't catch her name.

   "'We didn't catch her name during her departure' says Oscar." I stated. Dagger and Beast looked surprised. That soon turned into mischief as a thought struck them.

   "Well then, go and find out! Hurry, before she leaves!" Beast nudged me in the way she left and I stumbled, looked back to see them urging me on, and sighed before running off in the direction she went in.

   My stomach got all fluttery at the thought of seeing her so soon. What is happening? Why does the meet thought of her make me so...so...something! I don't even know how to explain it!

   "Very well, Judy. I'll let it pass this time. Come, it's late and I've got paperwork to do in the morning." I froze as I overheard the voice of a young, yet proud, boy. Peeking around the corner of the circus tent, I saw her, a slightly older man that look quite similar to her, and a small boy with blue tinted hair. I couldn't get much other detail out if the other two, only because my eyes were glued to the beautiful ravenette, who was bowing formally to the boy.

   "Of course. Let's get a move on." With that, she opened the carriage door, helped the boy in, and entered herself. Even from out here, I could see that she was deep in thought about something, which made her smile. As the carriage drove off, I backed away and walked back towards our tents, the smallest possible smile on my face. I walked right past Beast, Dagger, and all the others I ran into.

   When I returned to my tent, I sat on my bed, alone since I didn't have a tent partner yet that could trust me, and stared at the speckled orchid branch that she gave me. Her name echo through my head like a melody you never want to forget and that never gets old.

   "Judy..." I said, testing out her name on my forked tongue. My smile grew as I set the orchid in a cup of water by my bed.

   "Until we meet again, Judy."

   (Switch to Third Person POV)

   Little to Snake's knowledge, all the first stringers were crowded outside the reptilian boy's tent, hearing him speak to himself before he settled down into sleep.

   "Who's Judy?" Doll asked, her large white wig in her hands and her natural light brown locks falling just past her shoulders. Dagger and Beast looked at each other in delight.

   "The name of our future sister-in-law, I'm sure." Dagger said, getting all fanboy-ish. Beast hit him on the back of the head.

   "Don't go making assumptions. Though, from what I've seen, she would be perfect for him!" Everyone else was confused, so Beast told the story of how the two ran into each other. Once she was done, everyone was convinced of the same theory as the other two.

   "Snake is coming out of hiding! Isn't this great?" Wendy said, hugging her twin(?) and trying to stop herself from squealing in joy. Joker smiled and was about to speak when the tent flap flew open to reveal a pissed and embarrassed Snake.

   "'You all really need to watch the volume of your conversation,' says Emily." Snake replayed to them. They all started to sweat as a barrage of snakes started to chase them back to their respective tents.
