Pip walks up and down hallways trying to find his room. His room key had a room number on it but it seemed he was always one number over or one number below, never the right one. Pip sighs, "Gees...." he walks around more, and that's when he hears a voice behind him.

"Having trouble?"

He jumps and turns to see Damien, "Hey."

"Damien!? I thought you were just-" Pip was confused.

"Yeah. I had to deal with another person but after that, I had nothing left so I just thought..I would come to check up on you....the doors here are..confusing. I get lost myself sometimes too."

Damien takes Pip's key and looks at the number, "Room 666. Oh, look at that. You got the devil's number."

"O-Oh! I did?"

"Yeah." Damien smiles as he takes Pip's hand and pulled him along to the correct room.

"Here." He unlocks the door.

Inside was a very nice and fancy room, "Wow.... it's lovely!" Pip says as he runs and jumps on the bed in the middle of the room. It was comfy, fluffy, and warm, "Ohhh! I love it!"

Damien chuckles, "Did you see where you will working?"

"Oh! Right!" Pip jumps up and grabs the paper with his job on it, "Assistant to the prince. Oh, neet!"

Damien's face dropped into a shocked one, "What?" he grabbed the paper from Pip's hands causing him to jump a little, "How!? That...."

"Is there a problem Damen?"

"Ye-n-y-No! No, there is no problem.... it's just....um..I didn't think...." Damien shakes his head and turns back to Pip, "Anyway... it's nothing."

Damien gives Pip the paperback, "Um....you will be with me."

"Oh you-Your the prince! I almost forgot!"

"Yeah...." "That means we can spend time together!?"

"Um well.... it's complicated..you see the prince's assistant is just there to make sure people are doing their job right and serve the prince, but not like..really see him when not needed."

"Oh." Pip frowns a little.

"And um....you see the reason I was so..surprised before was....you see the prince's assistant is a job you only get if your..promoted to it. I have never seen someone just get it on their first day."

"Oh? Why is that?" Pip asks, confused.

"Because you need to know how everything works first. So it makes no seance to just put someone there with no expirants with anything." Damien thinks, "I will..I'll have to train you."

"Right-o." Pip smiles and Damien sighs.

'Cute.' he thinks, "Anyway, you should rest."

"Righty-o! Goodnight Damien!"

"Night....Pip...." Damien turns to leave when he stops, "Say. Is Pip still a name only people that hate you call you?"

Pip frowns, "Why yes, it is. Why do you ask?"

"Cause if it is....then I would like to ask, what is your real name again?"

"Why, it's Philip!" Pip exclaims.

"Ok then Pip I would like to change the name I give you to Philip." then he finally turns and walks away. Leaving Pip standing there, smiling.

"My name....my name!!" He jumps for joy right onto the bed.

"He said my real name!!" Pip smiles and calms down before closing his eyes a fall right into a deep slumber, happily, comfortably, and safely.
