Orion burst into the dining room, and the maids let out signs of relief when they saw that Bree was missing from the room.
Orion came to a halt in front of Sheepy and Minerva, who were in the middle of feeding Inky.
"Here comes the magic train," Sheepy said as she waved a spoonful of mashed potatoes in the air; Inky waved up at it and giggled before it was brought to his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Minerva demanded. Sheepy turned and jumped in her seat slightly when she saw the Maids and Orion staring at her.
"Is something the matter?" Sheepy asked in confusion.
"Sorry to be a bother," Annie said, pushing Orion to the side so he didn't yelp out what they needed without any explanation. "But I stained my maid uniform, and we're trying to find my original outfit from before I joined the maids,"
"Hu," Minerva looked stumped. "There was a time when you weren't a member of the maids?" She asked in confusion.
"To be more accurate," Bella cut in, "There was a time when she existed, and the maids didn't; Annie was at one point the only maid before I was created,"
"Yes," Annie cut in. "Me, Orion, and Sheepy are the three oldest members of Mistress Bree's followers, and Orion can't remember what happened to any of his old gear either," Annie got down and got her hands together like she was praying to Sheepy. "Please tell me you remember,"
Sheepy scratched her cheek and squinted her eyes as she tried to think, "I'm sorry, but…the earliest thing I can remember…would be the day Mistress Bree brought Miverva to the potion farm fields and told me she would be working with me from that day onward," Sheepy smiled happily "It was one of the best days of my life, soon after Mistress Bree brought us Inky,"
"So you can't remember either, hu?" Annie asked in defeat.
"Remember what?" Winnie asked, having been drawn in by the sight of the maids and Orion surrounding Minerva and her family.
"The Original Three, or at least two of them, are searching for their original gear,"
"Why, that's a simple request," Winnie said with a smile. "There is a room on the third floor that only Mistress Bree can access; anytime one of us needed new gear, she would set our old gear inside, sort of like a Museum,"
"No," Annie cried out in defeat. "That means I have to tell Mistress Bree," Annie hit the floor in utter defeat.
"Ah, so that's why you sent Beth my way," Bree noted with a chuckle; everyone's eyes quickly darted to Bree, who was standing behind Bella.
"How long have you been standing there?!" Bella asked in shock.
"I was waiting for you on the stairs," Bree replied. "Beth told me about being whipped and then told me my maids had sent her to tell me about it," Bree walked forward and looked at the robe Annie was wearing, "Annie, where's your Maids uniform? Did something happen to it? Is that what's gotten you so worried?"
"I stained it with Orange Juice," She cried out in shame. "We couldn't get the stain out in time, and it settled," Annie let out a sobbing sound. "I'm a disgrace of a Maid; I don't deserve to serve you,"
"Annie," Bree said in a calming tone. "Stop crying and follow me," Bree patted Annie and helped her to her feet before leading her out of the Dining room. Sheepy picked up Inky, and the large group followed after them. Olu was talking to Beth by the front door but decided not to follow after them and instead continued questioning Beth about her childhood.
