Unaware of the conversation that was going on, Seline was busy in the kitchens cooking food for the maids. "Ana, Marie, a salad for you!" The two girls thanked her, but she was already presenting the next dish. "Lilian, Bernice, Carmen, some sandwiches for you!" She presented food to each woman, somehow remembering everyone's names and which food corresponded to them. "And finally, when you all are done, I baked a pie! Don't worry, there's one for Miss Dimitrescu and the girls. I just happened to have an extra crust and filling." The peach pie looked mouth-watering, and everyone began tearing into their food. Just as Seline was about to eat her own lunch, Cassandra materialized in front of everyone. The maids all jumped back, but of course, Seline wasn't bothered. "Hi, Cass! What's up?" Anyone else using that nickname would've been killed on the spot, but the brown-haired sister just grinned. "Come and play with us! Bels is being boring and not doing anything, but I bet you can make her get up. Come on, come on, come on!" Laughing at Cassandra's hyperactive energy, Seline allowed herself to be pulled around the castle, until they ended up in the library. Daniela was already waiting, and when she saw the two arrived, she let out a groan. "Cassssssssss, Bels won't do anything! She just sits there with her stupid book!" To that, Bela did do something: she stuck up the middle finger. Cassandra began chanting "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!", while Seline tried to break the two up. "Ummm… Why don't we ask all the maids to play hide and seek?" Instantly, the two girls stopped bickering and looked at Seline gleefully. "Yeah!" Bela, snapped out of her book, turned to Daniela. "Dani, go get all the maids, and be nice." Having absolutely no intention to be nice, she dissipated out of the room. Once everyone had been gathered, a bit unwillingly on the maids' parts, Bela explained the rules. "You can hide anywhere in the castle, but no going outside and no going in Mother's chambers. Once you're found, you can help seek, but you can't explicitly tell the seeker where everyone is hiding. Now, who will seek?" Cassandra waved her hand in the air frantically, and Bela took her sweet time before allowing her to seek. "Fine, but no weapons. Just tap them or something when you find them. GENTLY." With that, the game had begun, as Cassandra began counting to 100. "1, 2, 3, 4…" Everyone scattered, with Seline heading instantly to the maid's closet. "23, 24, 25, 26…" Scanning the shelves, she took down a large box half-filled with paper towels. "48, 49, 50, 51…" Replacing the items on that shelf with ones from the bottom, she curled up in the box and started pushing it back into place, this time on the bottom shelf. "82, 83, 84, 85…" Sliding the cover back on, she hoped it looked natural enough to win. "97, 98, 99, 100! Ready or not, here I come!"

Gleefully, Cassandra walked around the halls. Though the game was a lot more boring without her sickle, the thrill of the hunt was enough to keep her interested. "Where aaaaaare you?" she taunted, peeking into rooms. She was just about to leave the kitchen when she heard a clang. Opening the cabinet beneath the oven, two maids were hiding there. "Found you! C'mon, help me find my sisters." They walked behind her warily, not used to her being so playful. "Where do you think Bels would be?" Cassandra asked, and one of the maids timidly spoke. "Um… Maybe the l-library, to make sure nobody moved anything?" Cassandra's eyes lit up. "Yeah! Good thinking!" She nearly dissipated, but remembering that there were other people, she instead started running. The two maids decided to go seek by themselves, however, so Cassandra burst into the library by herself. Bela held her breath, hidden under a reading desk. For a quick second, she thought that Cassandra had left… Until she reformed right next to her. "BOO!" Bela shrieked and attempted to jump away, instead bonking her head on the desk. "Owowowowowow!" Cassandra frantically began apologizing, all brashness gone. Even Daniela materialized in front of them to make sure her sister was okay. "Cass, what did you do?!" As per usual, it turned to bickering. "I didn't do anything! Bels was the one who hit her head!" Bela interjected into this argument. "Because you startled me!" The three sisters continued to fight, just as siblings do, until Cassandra realized something. "Wait! Dani! You're here! This means I found you!" Daniela tried to protest against this, but the combined efforts of Cassandra and Bela eventually convinced her that yes, she had been found. With the three of them seeking together, nearly all the maids were caught. "We only have to find Seline, and we win!" Unfortunately, Seline was in a bit of trouble and wouldn't be found anytime soon.

"Helloooooo? Anyone? Miss Dimitrescu? Bels? Dani? Cass? Can someone please help me?" When picking out her hiding spot, Seline didn't think about how she would get out of it. After maybe 30 minutes of being in a small box, she began to get bored, and tried to push her way out. But due to the shelf above her, the lid wouldn't open enough for her to escape. "HEEEEELP!" she shouted, but the maid's closet was so out of the way that it was unlikely anyone could hear her. Beginning to panic, Seline wiggled around in the box, trying to move it, but nothing was working. Meanwhile, everyone was scouring the castle, trying to find their tiny friend. "SELINE, YOU WIN! COME OUT OF YOUR HIDING SPOT!" They had no idea how hard she was trying. Being trapped in a small, hidden, dark place would be scary for anyone, and for a 7-year-old, it was terrifying. "PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP!" What if they stopped playing? What if they forgot all about me? What if I never get out of here? Seline started spiraling down into what-ifs, still frantically trying to escape. Bela heard the small girl's shout, but had no clue where it was coming from. "I DON'T WANNA PLAY ANYMORE! GET ME OUT!" It was complete pandemonium, and it only got worse when Alcina arrived.
