“Actually,” The Kangaskhan woman sighed as she turned to the side, placing a hand on her chubby cheek. “He’s unfortunately out for a while, you see, he was called by a League of some sort for a conference. I don’t know the exact details, but he had to take a few of the staff members here.”
“League?” Fontina questioned, as she blinked a few times behind her glasses.
“Yes,” The woman continued as she turned her attention fully to Fontina and did not pay attention to Midnight and Ali, who were starting to get a little more intense in their argument. “Besides me, there are only a handful of maids here. We’re just keeping the place in order and making sure that all orders and mail is sorted correctly.”
“Then aren’t we intruding?” Fontina asked, taking a moment to realize that Midnight and Ali were starting to pull at each other’s hair.
“OW! LET GO YOU LITTLE RAT!”
“YOU FIRST YOU DUMB BI… OUCH!”
“Oh, heavens no,” The woman replied with a wave of her hand. “The master always allows people to stay in the mansion. In fact, that’s how some of the maids got their jobs here. Just so long as nothing is broken or stolen, everything should alright for you and your two friends to stay here for a while.”
“W-Well, thank you,” Fontina said as she bowed her head slightly. “We’ll leave as soon as the storm passes.”
“Do not worry, my dear,” The woman stated with a warm smile on her chubby face. That’s when she stood there with her face turning dull. “Uh, hmm…”
“Is something wrong?” Fontina asked, now realizing that her two companions were rolling on the floor. “G-Guys! S-Stop it!”
“Oh, uh, I just realized that I forgot to introduce myself,” The Kangaskhan woman replied with a large blush on her face. “How rude of me not to do so! My name is Shera, and it is a pleasure to meet you all.”
‘She’s completely ignoring Midnight and Ali’s rude behavior,’ Fontina thought with a large bead of sweat rolling down the side of her head. “Um, yes, well, I am Fontina, and my two friends on the ground are Ali and Midnight.”
“My, what a lively duo,” Shera chuckled as she spun on her heels. “Well then, you girls must be soaked. We should get you out of those wet clothes before you catch your deaths. If you’ll follow me, I’ll lead you to one of the guest rooms.”
Just as Shera was about to step forward, both Ali and Midnight had rolled in the larger woman’s path, only for the Kangaskhan Moemon to jump over them without a second thought.
“G-Guys!” Fontina whispered at the two fighting companions.
“GRRRR!”
“RAN OUT OF CLEVER ONE-LINERS, YOU MISBRED MUTT?!”

A few minutes later, and actually managing to pry her two friends away from each other, Fontina, Ali and Midnight were following Shera through the slightly lit hallways. One thing that caught Fontina’s attention, was that there were several paintings lining the walls – Each of them depicting a beautiful Moemon girl, ranging from an snoozing Absol girl to a sleek Zigzagoon girl as well.
‘Man, this is just somewhat creepy,’ Midnight thought to herself just as Shera stopped in front of one of the many doors.
“Alright dears!” Shera announced as she spun on her heels and gestured towards the door next to her. “Here’s your room, there are plenty of beds, a restroom and even a television. If you want to go around the Mansion, there are some maps around the halls.”
“Why are there maps in the mansion?” Ali questioned.
“Well, the Master is somewhat forgetful at times,” Shera answered as she unlocked the door to the room. “So, we set up maps all over the mansion to help him and new maids learn their way around. I’ll be sure to find you girls once dinner is going to be served. So, until then, please, just relax.”
And with that, Shera began to turn and walk away.
As soon as she was out of ear shot…
“Man,” Midnight sighed as she walked into the room. “She was a porker.”
“Midnight!” Ali hissed as she followed the Mightyena Moemon into the room, Fontina following them as well. “She let us in and is letting us stay the night!”
“Doesn’t change the fact that she’s tubby,” Midnight replied as she peeled off her belly shirt. “Anyway, dibs on the shower first!”
Both Ali and Fontina sighed loudly as Midnight slipped into the bathroom, “I swear, sometimes we need to smack her upside the head a few times to get some respect out of her.”
“A-Ali,” Fontina chirped slightly as she removed her poncho, revealing her dry attire. “I realize that she’s a little rough around the edges, but…”
“Yeah, but nothing!” Ali growled as she tossed her umbrella to the side. “She could stand to lose a little bit of that ego of hers!”
Ali sighed loudly as she shook her head, “Look Fontina, I don’t mean to yell, but Midnight just gets on my nerves. She was a pretty good friend as a Poochyena Moemon, but ever since she changed, she thinks she’s bigger than sliced bread.”
Fontina couldn’t disagree with her friend, it was true.
“Anyway, I’m thinking while Miss Perfect is showering,” Ali replied placing a hand on her hip. “We could explore this mansion, what ya think?”
“Well, I think we could use some time away from each other,” Fontina answered. “And a walk does sound nice…”
