Maid to Work

Somewhere out there, in another world...

"This is ridiculous."

The sound of Jenna's voice conjured a groan from Maisie as she clambered onto the chair, making use of a foot stool to do so.

"...Seriously?" Maisie asked, her annoyance clear. The last thing she needed right now was another tirade from her disgruntled companion.

Maisie didn't wait for an answer as she came to her feet. "No, what's 'ridiculous' is you thinking you could intimidate that witch after she turned our flashlights into crayons. I did tell you the stories about this place..."

Jenna wheeled on her equally dwindled friend. "How was I supposed to know they were were true? You were the one who's always going on about wanting to visit haunted houses, well, congrats - we're cleaning one. "

Maisie shrugged as she hefted the feather duster onto the table, a more than unwieldly tool at her size. "I think I'm doing the cleaning, Jenna. Anyway, that witch lady said it herself, 'once my house is sparkling clean, the spell will be broken and you can both go back to your lives' So, we just do this, and we can get out of here..."

"These outfits are..."

"They're probably better than the other options she gave us! That talk of nurseries, pets, dolls... nah-uh, no-thank-you. I can handle this far more than whatever else she had in mind..."

"I'm going find a way to get back at that witch..." Muttered the disgruntled Jenna.

"Well, before you hatch your master plan - remember what else she said, if we weren't done by the time she got back that we'd have a much bigger house to clean? I know wordplay when I hear it. So..."

Jenna folded her arms, glaring up at Maisie. "So...?"

Maisie looked down at her friend-turned-tiny-maid. "So! Would-you-actually-help-me?!"

Seems these two are destined to find each other!
