As the new Cassie puts the dirty bedding into the laundry hamper on her trolley, she sees her mother close the bedroom door, which is then followed by her raised voice coming from inside her bedroom, “Beth McKnight! how many times do I have to tell you!...”

The new Cassie quickly heads to the next bedroom, pushing her trolley with all the cleaning supplies.

“Hmm, I guess I’m going to change Kate’s bedding, as well as my parents cringe. I really hope mum doesn’t ground me again for delaying Cassie”.

Arriving at her sister’s bedroom, the new Cassie knocks on her sister’s door, while mentally getting into character.

Knock, Knock, “Good morning, Miss McKnight, I’ve come to change your bedding, is it ok to enter?”

The new Cassie hears her sister sarcastic voice respond. “Enter!”. The new cassie grabs the new bedding off the trolley and proceeds to open her sister’s door. Where she is greeted to the sight of Kate leaning up against the wall with her ear pressed to a glass, where she is trying to hear what’s going on in Cassie’s room.

“Just change my bed and get out of here! I don’t want the same fate as Beth!”, with Kate returning to try and hear better through the glass.

“Yes Miss” the new Cassie responds, as she quickly takes off the dirty bedding and quickly puts on the fresh bedding. Thinking to herself while she does it, ‘I can’t believe Kate is doing that, I bet she does that a lot more than I think, that would explain why she knows about stuff I don’t tell her!?’.

The new Cassie quickly leaves and heads to her parents’ bedroom, where the door has been left half open.

She gently knocks on the door as she slowly opens it, to find her step-dad shirtless and getting dressed.

“Oh! sorry Mr McKnight, I thought the room was unoccupied!”, as the new Cassie’s face turned a bright red.

“It’s ok Cassie”, Mr McKnight says as he puts on a shirt and starts buttoning it up.

“Apologies, again Sir, I’m just here to change your bedding” as the new Cassie walks over to the bed and starts to remove the sheets from the bed.

Beth and Kate’s step-dad, was only a few years older than them, Beth had always had a bit of a crush on Frank, mainly because he was really attractive and always looked great in whatever he wore, plus he also had a job that put most guys his age to shame. He really was the full package, no wonder their mother snapped him up, after their father had an affair. Frank just seemed like someone, who everyone could trust, and he always seemed to got what he wanted.

As the new Cassie started to put on the clean bedding, she was bent over the bed, trying to reach the far side of the bed to take out the wrinkles of the sheet, when she could feel herself losing her balance. Just as she felt herself about to fall flat onto the bed, she felt two hands grab her waist.

“Whoa, got ya!, you almost went then didn’t you Cass”, Frank said as he stopped Cassie from falling onto the clean bed.

“Urm thank you sir, this bed is a lot bigger than the others” as the new Cassie stood up, she noticed that Franks hands were still holding onto her waist, and she could also feel something pressing up behind her. Thinking to herself she quickly realised what that was ‘why is he still holding my waist? hang on is that what I think it is!? Does Frank have a thing for Cassie!?’

“Oh, sorry Cassie, how unprofessional of me”, Frank quickly let’s go of the new Cassie and starts walking to the bedroom door. “I’ll leave you to finish up..... And Cassie....Try to not let that pretty little body of yours come to any harm”.

With that Frank leaves the bedroom and Cassie finishes making the bed up, in a slight state of shock of what just happened, and trying to work out if the real Cassie also knew about Franks attraction to her.

As the new Cassie took the dirty bedding to the basement, she walked past the lounge, where she could hear her mother ranting to Frank about how Beth needed to treat their staff, more like staff and not like friends.

As Cassie filled the washing machines up with bedding, she suddenly realised she had no clue on how to operate them. She glanced at the clock on the wall, realising that there was only 5 more minutes before the hour was up. So, she decided that it would be best to stay out of harm’s way in the basement, until she swapped back to her own body. As the final seconds passed, the New Cassie just kept playing the events of the last hour in her mind and all the possibilities that she now had, with becoming their maid. She also needed to have a chat with the real Cassie, to understand what was going on with her and Frank!

Not being near her computer, there was no flash this time, she blinked and everything stayed black for a few seconds, then when she opened her eyes, she was back in her room, sitting at her computer...
