    "Good morning, Mistress. It's time for you to wake up." I didn't remember what dream I had been having, but it was probably a good one. Good enough that the hands shaking my shoulders to wake me up seemed really really annoying, and I batted at them with my own in an effort to fight them off. "Let me… keep on sleeping…" "I'm afraid I cannot do that, Mistress." Wait… Mistress? I slowly cracked open one eye, and saw that there was someone leaning over my bed. My vision was blurry and so couldn't make them out clearly, but I could see that this rude interrupter had green eyes, white hair… and two pointy things on top of her head. And I had never seen her before in my life.
    "Huh!?!?!?!???" I got up and scrambled backwards, pulling the covers up around me to protect my modesty while I glared at this intruder. "Who in the world are you!?" My glare was pretty scary and intimidating and fierce if I did say so myself, but its target remained completely unmoved. She was dressed in a crisp and clean maid's uniform, arms folded demurely across the front of her apron. Since she was wearing that sort of outfit… she had to be a maid, right? But we had never had one before… Sis, Pri and I had always divided up the cleaning duties amongst ourselves. (Well, it was moooooostly Sis doing it, but I wasn't about to complain!)
    "My name is Celeste." Her tone was so flat and emotionless it was almost doll-like, and the lack of emotion on her face certainly didn't help. She was really cute, for sure… but she just felt kind of cold. Or lifeless, more like. "This is my first day working as a maid under the employment of Mistress Olivia, and I will endeavor to serve you to the best of my ability, Mistress Valeria."
    "Huh…" I was at a loss for words. "But-but Mother didn't tell me that you would be here! How am I supposed to believe you-" The door to my bedroom opened with a sharp crack and Sis marched in. "Mistress Dahlia." Without skipping a beat Celeste bowed towards Sis - it seemed that even though she was about as emotional as a brick wall, Celeste was pretty good at being a maid at least. "Morning, Sis… what d'you want?" "It's long past eleven, and you're still dallying in bed! Breakfast was served long ago…"
    "Ugh…. Not really in the mood for breakfast though…" I slowly, reluctantly, and arduously dragged myself out of bed, shrugging on some robes and slinking into the bathroom. Sis hung behind in the bedroom, but Celeste followed behind me. "I personally prepared the breakfast, Mistress… and it would bring me great joy if you could offer any criticisms you might have about its quality." "...Well if you put it that way, then I can hardly turn you down, huh?" I personally doubted whether Celeste was capable of experiencing 'great joy', but if she could I was interested to see what that would be like. And so I quickly brushed my teeth and changed into something a little bit less scandalous, following Celeste to the dining room - not that I needed any leading, but oh well.
