// What to do 
// Story: If Anon didn't know

     You wake up in a large bed and open your eyes. A shining light on your face makes your eyes hurt. When they finally adjust, you see that the shades in this room are wide open and light is pouring in from outside. 

The room around you seems equally large. This is in stark contrast to the living room of that random pony's house that you found yourself trapped in with Maple. 

This room seems fit to a pony much larger than the average one. You suspect it is one of the princess' rooms and find a strange symbol etched into the base of the bed. It seems to be a crystal like heart shape with gold fines to the right and left of it.

"Wierd," you think to yourself. You don't know this particular symbol. You think they call it a "cutie mark" but you will have to check with somepony to see if this is the case.

You had come back to the castle with the two sisters after the day's events but you didn't really get a good look at this place until this morning. You were only now beginning to notice these details.

Just then, you hear a knock on the door. It startles you and you do what your instinct tells you to do as the result of the previous day's experiences. You hide in a nearby closet.

Within a moment, you dart into the closet you spot on your right and wait to see what happens. A few seconds pass and the door opens slowly. Something comes inside.

The closet you are in has space in between the doors that let you see what is going on outside. However, that space is very tiny and you can't move to see better out of fear that the, hopefully, pony in the room would hear you shuffling around. So, you wait.

You hear some movement. Then, humming begins to fill the room. You catch a glimpse of what is in the room with you. It appears to be a maid pony. You can't exactly get too good a look at her but that doesn't stop you from trying.

In an attempt to see more of what is going on in the room, you lean forward in the closet. However, you aren't really calculating where your body weight is very well and you accidentally lean too far forward.

The ground seems to slip from under you and you fall out of the closet. The maid pony, whose back is turned toward you, jumps several feet into the air.

After you get back up, you look to see that the maid pony is maple.

"Maple!" you say in surprise, "What are you doing here!?" You quickly pick up and hug the caramel-colored horse.

"I thought I'd never see you again, Maple"

"What are you doing here," asked Maple.

"The princesses brought me back after the incident. I told them of my story and they said they would do what they could to help. I obviously didn't have a place to stay so they let me tag along with them and come to the castle."

"Story? What story? Also, don't you have a home?"

After Maple utters those words, you draw back a little and say, "I guess...I guess not. As for my story, I just woke up here. I'm from a different world. In my world, magic doesn't exist. Pastel colored horses don't exist. Life is more alone and it's up to every individual to look out for themselves."

Maple looks at you for a second. She seems to have a glimmer of sadness in her eye. You try to change the subject.

"So, what's with that symbol at the base of this bed?"

"Oh, that," says Maple as she points to the symbol, "That's Princess Cadence's cutie mark. She's the princess of love. She lives in the Crystal Empire most of the time and needs a place to stay when she is Canterlot. This is the room she stays in when she gets here. Speaking of, I heard she was on her way here. I presume it has something to do with you."

"Oh, Me? She shouldn't have," you say, "Anyway, what are you doing here?"

"I'm a royal maid. That's my job," said Maple Corn, "Now, I'm going to continue to clean up the rest of the castle and you should meet up with the princess. Just wait here, I heard she was on her way to see you."

"Wait," you say to Maple, who was already halfway out the door, "Can't you wait for Celestia to see you? I think she thinks I'm imagining you."

"Now now," was Maple's response, "I have work to do. Besides, I like the idea of the princess thinking you're crazy."

With that, Maple left. Just as the door closed behind her, the door on the opposite side of the room opened up. Celestia stepped in.

"Oh, I see you're awake," she says with a gentle smile, "Did you have a good night's sleep?"

"I can't even remember it," you joked.

"Well, There is something I wanted to talk to you about, Anony-"

"Just call me Anon."

"I understand. I will call you Anon then. Now, there is something I wanted to talk to you about Anon."

As she said this, she sat down in a chair facing you and said, "What do you plan to do today?"

You thought about the day ahead of you and said, "Well, princess, what am I going to do today?"
