>You're awake early today
>Outside your window the moon is just slowly sinking below the horizon
>The street lights over Canterlot were starting to dim
>You begin the daily routine of getting ready for another day of work
>Celestia was eager to give you your own set of clothes
>Since most clothes would either not fit you, or would look...
>Well....bad on you
>You tug the ends of the bowtie, drawing the neckpiece close
>One last look in the mirror
>Classy
>You make your way from the second floor to the courtyard
>Sweeping the marble floors in the early sunlight
>Birds chirping overhead and all that good peaceful moring stuff
>Hoofsteps behind you
>"Greeting Anonymous."
>It's Luna
"Goodmorning Princess, how've you been so far?"
>Luna stands next to you and watches the birds in the air
>"I have been good these few days. How about yourself?"
>You sweep the last bits of dust; or dirt, onto the grass
"Oh, the usual as always. Both you and your sister have been kind to me so far."
>"Yes, speaking of my sister, have you seen her today?"
>You shake your head
>"Hm, she needed to talk to me about something. Well, I should be off then. Goodbye Anonymous."
>You wave goodbye as Luna walks back into the castle
>Next thing on the list was...
>'Tend to the garden'
>Ugh, you didn't enjoy the garden work
>Not that it was hard work or anything but
>The garden was at the very least, three times the size of the courtyard
>And it was a confusing maze sometimes
>Forsaking your broom, you find a watering pail and some other gardening tools
>Off to work again
>And aside from the occasional weed or overgrown root, all you do is water the flowers and watch the animals
>On the way back though you meet another castle servant
>Romana, she's one of the fulltime garden caretakers
>Her coat was an orchid color while her mane was blond
>Forest green eyes settled the color proportions
>"Hello Anon, did Celestia send you into the garden again?"
>She takes your equipment off your hands
"Yeah, it keeps me busy at least."
>She smiled at you
>"That's true, you've always complained about being bored at the castle."
>"Also, I believe Celestia was asking for you."
>Really?
>Oh wait, sorry
"Really?"
>"Yeah, something urgent I guess."
>You look over to the castle
"Alright, thanks for telling me."
>Making your way from the garden you re-enter the castle
>There are a few more servants you pass by
>Most not worth mentioning
>Then Celestia's throne room
>She and her sister Luna were both looking out the window
"You wanted to see me Princess?"
>The two of them turned towards you
>"Ah Anonymous, um..."
>Both of them exchange looks
>"Anonymous, you're no longer my servant."
>...
"Eh?"
>"Yes, you heard me. You are no longer my servant."
>You and Celestia stare at each other for an eternity
>But not really, she's already nudging you along
>"Come on now, you should be packing your bags and saying your goodbyes."
>You're pushed most of the way to your room
"But Princess, what am I supposed to do now?"
>"We've already thought of that Anon, you're going to be my students survant now."
"You're student? You mean Twilight?"
>Vaguely you remember Twilight when she used to live in the castle
>She was still a young mare then
>"Hurry hurry, no need to keep your new master waiting Anon."
"Ah, alright I'm going!"
>You make your way to your room and begin to pack your belongings
>There was no returning to this room for a while, maybe never
>Best to take everything with you
>It all fits into two cases
>On your way down you meet Romana again
>She's also carrying her belongings with her
>"Ah Anon, you're moving out too?"
"Yeah, I'm being sent to help Twilight for now."
>You take her luggage off her hoofs and carry the whole lot alone
>"Sweet, someone else is going then!"
>The two of you load the bags onto a chariot
"Eh, you too?"
>"Yep, Celestia wants me to learn more about taking care of animals. She says there's no pony better at it then Fluttershy."
>Alright, having a friend come with would help
>Both of you talk the whole way to Ponyville
 
--------------------
 
>You arrive sometime mid-day
>Unload everything from the chariot and walk it to Twilights house
>A huge tree
>This is what you traded Anon
>Marble floors and walls for dirt and wood
>Nice upgrade there
>A purple mare is standing at the door to greet you two
>"An, you must be Anonymous and Romana. Welcome to Ponyville!
>Romana, I believe you should be staying at Fluttershy's house since, well
>There wouldn't be much room in the library with Anonymous staying there."
>You leave your things in the library and carry all of Romana's things to Fluttershys house
>Which was on the outskirts of Ponyville no less
>Fuck, this mare live as an outcast or something?
>"Fluttershy, it's me, Twilight."
>The door opens up a bit
>You can make out a yellow mare with cyan eyes
>She opens the door a bit more
>Catches sight of you for, like two seconds and immediatly slams the door shut
>Twilight gives an audible sigh and knocks on the door again
>"Fluttershy..."
>"No, go away!"
>Twilight looks at you
>"One second guys."
>Twilight's magic envelops the door and she opens it herself
>Romana walks into the house then fluttershy grabs the doorknob and tries to pull it shut
>"Fluttershy-"
>"No, don't let it in here!"
>"Fluttershy Anonymous wont hurt you."
>Fluttershy still wouldn't let go of the door
>Twilight rolled her eyes and told you to set the things down and go back to the library
>You did as you were asked and left back to ponyville
>In the distance you could hear Twilight telling Fluttershy you were gone and it was all safe
>Weird mare
>You open the door and lok around the library
>It was really small compaired to the one in Canterlot
>"Hey, who are you?"
>At your feet was a little baby dragon
>Aw, he looked cute
>Without thinking about it you picked him up like he was a baby
"You're a cute baby dragon, green and purple really go together good for you."
>"Hey, let me down!"
"Hm, you can't breath fire now can you? That would be a disaster for this library."
>"Hey! I said let me down!"
>He squirms under your grasp
"Oh sorry about that, here."
>You set the dragon back on the ground
"My name's Anonymous, or rather Anon is better. I'm Twilight's new butler."
>"Butler?"
>He crosses his arms then a gleam catches his eyes
>Not a very good looking gleam either
>"That means you have to do everything Twilight says?"
"Er, yeah."
>"Then you have to do everything I say too!"
"Eh, now wait a second here,"
>Actually, the Princess never said anything about this kid
>Was he Twilights brother or pet or something?
>No, she did say he had an assistant named spike
>Did that put him above you in terms of rank?
>Butler > Assistant > Twilight
>Crap
>"Anonymous,"
>You and who you assume is spike turn around to see Twilight
>When did she get back?
>"Hey Twilight!"
"Hello Twilight."
>"Spike, could you find the letter Princess Celestia sent us?"
>"Sure thing!"
>And there he goes
>Now for you
"What would you have me do Twilight?"
>She put a hoof under her chin and thought for a moment
>"Well...I've never really had a butler before. But from some books I've read,"
>She levitates a book over and flips through the pages
>"Um...the master is always superior to the survant and thus should be refered to as Master."
>Oh, this kind of thing then...
>"The servant shall always and without question obey all commands given from their master
>In both body and soul, serve their master in life and death."
>Of all the people you could have been stuck with
>You got stuck with HER
>"Twilight, I got it!"
>Spike hands her a letter with half a wax seal on it
>"Thank you spike, let's see here...
>Anonymous as your personal butler, be nice to him, he'll obey all your commands."
>Damn it Princess
>"I guess I'll be called Master from now on?"
"Er, that's right Master."
>She smiles at you
>"This is wonderful! I've never had a butler before, um...
>You could start by getting the library cleaned up. My last teleportation spell,
>Well, you can see what it did."
>It made a mess
>Like someone cast Wex Cyclonus on this room
"Alright, I'll get right to it Master."
>And so began your new job
>Twilight's first Butler
