I woke up and saw a short, red haired girl with a full face of makeup wearing a glittery corset, striped shorts, blue socks and silver sparkly heels standing above me. I sat up swiftly, self-conscious that she could see me in my underwear.

"So you're the famous y/n," she said. She had a soft, high-pitched voice.

"Sorry but, who are you?" I asked, not wanting to sound mean.

"Columbia," she answered with a smile. "Frank told me to get you, breakfast is nearly ready. Oh yeah, take these." She handed me a white robe and white heels.

"Thanks," I said, taking the items off her. "Columbia, that's a beautiful name."

"Thank you," she said, smiling brightly. I could tell she was blushing. "I'll be back in five minutes!"

Columbia left gleefully. I put on the robe and heels she gave me. Weird, the shoes are an exact fit. Did they measure my feet when I was unconscious? What have I gotten myself into?

I looked around the room and saw a table. I walked over and on top of it was a hand-held mirror and a hair brush. I grabbed the hairbrush to look at myself. My hair was everywhere so I fixed it.

A few minutes later, Columbia entered the room again.

"Ready?" she asked.

"Yeah," I replied.

We walked through the hall together and she told me stuff about the castle and Frank. 

"Frank can be mean sometimes, but he's not all that bad. He's working on this project so he spends most of his time up in the lab," she told me.

"What project is he working on?" I queried.

"You'd be better asking him that. He's fixated on it and would be disappointed if I told you," she responded. "I don't think his project is right." I could see she was growing sadder, I felt bad but I didn't know what the project was, so I didn't know how to comfort her.

"Does anyone else work here?" I said quickly, trying to change the subject.

"Yes!" Columbia responded. "There's Magenta and Riff Raff. Magenta and I are great friends! She's delightful to be around! We have so much in common! We share a bedroom, even though it would be great to have my own room, she's an excellent roommate!" She sounds so happy talking about Magenta.

"What about Riff Raff?" I questioned. She talked a lot about Magenta but she hasn't said anything about Riff Raff.

"Oh, he's Magenta's brother," she explained. "He's alright but his appearance may throw you off. Honestly, he's not that bad."

For the rest of the walk we talked about Frank, Magenta, Riff Raff and the castle.

Eventually we reached a smallish room that looked like a dining room. Frank was standing at the end of the table, with two people either side of him. On his left was a blonde, balding hunchback guy wearing a white shirt with some sort of red stain on it, a black jacket, black trousers, black fingerless gloves and heels whom I assumed was Riff Raff. On Frank's left was a red-head, curly haired girl wearing a maid outfit, black tights and black high heels whom I assumed was Magenta.

"Ah, y/n," Frank said with a loud voice, almost as if he was announcing it to the room. "Sit."

I sat down in the closest chair to me, and Columbia sat next to me. I looked around the table and saw all kinds of food in front of me. Toast, eggs, bacon, pancakes, scones and waffles. I looked at Magenta and Riff Raff and saw them staring at me. I awkwardly looked down, not wanting to stare back at them.

"Magenta, Riff Raff," Frank declared. When he said their name they looked at him immediately. He made some sort of signal with his hand and they walked around the table, Riff Raff sloppily grabbing the food and throwing it onto Columbia and I's plates, then Magenta walked around with a jug filled with orange juice pouring it into our glasses. However she poured more over the table than into our glasses.
