- >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
