"…and then she was reading while dusting. she could have

oken something! but the worst part of it was she was dancing around while she was lulling a toon. i swear she acts like she owns the place. and another thing…" gustav kept going on and on about how stephanie was acting like a careless child in the li

ary. robert was getting a little ticked off. his eye

ow started twitching before he stood up and glared down at his butler.

"gustav, that is enough. just because she dances around while doing her job, making it more entertaining, does not mean that she is a wild barbarian" robert scolded as he headed for the door, dismissing gustav with a wave of his had. i know he has been my butler for as long as i can remember and that he is just trying to help, but sometimes he is way to overprotective, robert thought as he headed to his room, already having a list of chores for stephanie to do the next morning.

stephanie slowly walked back to her room from the li

ary, ready for a good night's rest. she was so tired that she nearly crashed a couple of times. she really liked the li

ary. it was nice, quiet, and a great place to be alone. she walked into her bedroom and looked at the electric clock on her bed-side-table. it read 11:00pm in

ight red lights. she looked over to the fireplace where franchesca sat, reading a copy of one of the books she had seen in the li

ary.

"ugh, bed!" stephanie said, flopping onto her bed in a humph. franchesca looked up over her book at her. "rough first day?" the

own eyed girl asked as she looked back down at her book. "yes, but i guess you would know how it feels. he had me dust the entire li

ary." franchesca nearly dropped the book she was reading. "he did what?" she asked in disbelief. "did you finish?!" stephanie looked over at her sporadic room mate and said "yes, why are you freaking out?" "i am freaking out because it takes four people to clean that place! how did you clean it so fast?" she asked jumping over the chair and sitting right next to stephanie, her

own eyes bulging. "well i just made it fun and entertaining. i do things better and faster when it is fun" stephanie said leaning away from her roomy as if she had the plague.

"how can you make work fun?" franchesca asked while walking over to her own bed, a little disappointed. "well, if we work together some time i will show you" stephanie said as she changed into her pajamas and set her alarm clock to 5:00am. "well even though i did get it done fast, i still didn't get it done fast enough to get a good night's sleep. when dose robert usually wake up?" stephanie asked franchesca. "he wakes up at about 6:00am every morning, except when there are guests here; he wakes up earlier to make sure

eakfast is ready for them. good night" and before it was 11:10 both girls where fast asleep.

"so my little friend, how was your first day on the job?" the golden griffin asked stephanie in the forest of her mind. stephanie looked around, not knowing how she got here. all she remembered was that she was dreaming of being in the li

ary of her family's house with her father, dancing to the music locket he had bought her on her fifth birthday, then she was here. she has had the locket in her jewelry box on her dresser since she started. she never lets it out of her sight for a minit.
