The grand estate was the largest mansion in the entire world. It took up nearly 367 lots of land, the area being sectioned off for their owner and no one else. It was their own paradise and many wished for the area to belong to them. It cost the family who lived there a fortune, but they had not a care about the money. They had plenty of it, so why not use it? The area was covered in shining white marble buildings, gardens scattered around giving color and life to the lot, and in the center behind the grand mansion rested a large swimming pool that glittered with the sun's glare.

Servants walked around the buildings, tending and cleaning the place top to bottom. Gardeners tended to the plants, collecting what they had grown to give to the chefs to cook a fabulous meal. They stopped every once in awhile to talk amongst the others, knowing they would not be reprimanded for conversing on the job. Their boss was kind and they enjoyed their work. Not once had the employer struck out against them if they messed up. They would receive a lecture on how to do the job properly and be told not to do it again.

A petite maid walked up a door with a basket of laundry, she made a face when she noticed she had no free arms to open it. The door opened of its own accord, forcing the woman to gasp and look at who had done so. A small pink haired boy clothed in a white dress shirt and black slacks smiled up at her, his black glasses resting carefully on his nose. He opened the door wider for her, smiling more once the woman thanked him.

The inside of this building was just as grand as the outside. Surrounding the place was carefully decorated cream colored walls with a light marble floor. The doors were colored to match and, instead of gold covering the knobs and metal frames of pictures, they were a pristine silver.

The maid carrying the laundry nodded in greeting to a passing butler. He wore a black tailcoat suit, his trims and gloves a dark crimson. It was almost the opposite of her own outfit. She wore a frilly maid uniform, as one would expect, however the main color surrounding the dress was white and the trims were a light shade of magenta. Each servant was color coded in the butler's pattern or the maid's.

There were two families living in the mansion, so they had to differentiate from one family's servants from the other. One family consisted of a young homosexual couple and their singular adopted son. The other was a young couple of a man and a woman, having no children of their own at the current moment. The families were close enough to become one all on its own, so they decided to live together. It was a large estate, one family wouldn't be able to fill it.

The butler smiled, stopping the maid to whisper a few things. She paused, thinking before she answered with a nod and silent word. He thanked her, letting her go on her way before making his way outside.

He exited the mansion, pausing only for a moment to take in the fresh air that surrounded the place. Pure air and the pleasant scent of flowers filled his nostrils. The butler called out a name, earning a hello in reply when the boy from before came running.

He knelt down to the child's level, ruffling his hair for a moment before questioning him. The boy grabbed the butler's hand, tugging him to a separate building. The one they had left was where the kitchen, laundry room, and other basic necessary rooms were. The building the boy was taking him to was the relaxation building where the tea room, game room, bathing room, and library were located.

The butler didn't seem troubled at all by the insist tugging. All the servants loved the child, but he was the only one. They wished there were more children for them to care for.

The inside of this building was colored more darkly than the other. Covering the walls were now a dark wood and the floors matched, other than the long red rugs that covered the floorboards. The boy led him into the tea room, showing him four young adults sitting across from each. They sat on two long modern styled sofas.
