Suiting up for the new position.

Cody made his way down the long hallways of the mansion while looking down at the form he had been given, reading and rereading it again to be sure he understood exactly what was expected of him. The paper managed to be perfectly clear in its text without actually telling him anything at the exact same time.

The following individual has been assigned to the housekeeping department of Swollen Root and will be expected to follow its procedures and practices or risk disciplinary action.

Below that was a number of lines filled with his own information, filled in by Vivian earlier while he was getting dressed, ranging from his name and age down to the job position he had accepted as well as how long he had been resident here at the house. All of that seemed straight forward enough, but it still failed to mentioned what exactly these procedures were or what precisely disciplinary action entailed. More information was offered on the next page.

In addition to the above mentioned responsibilities, the housekeeping employee will be responsible for adhering to the following policies without negotiation.

• All housekeepers will be issued a standard uniform for their position. The complete uniform must be worn while on duty. Failure to meet dress code will result in disciplinary action.
• All housekeepers are expected to work a minimum of four days each week. Shift hours may vary but expected duties must be completed by the end of each day. Failure you complete these duties will result in disciplinary action.
• Housekeepers are expected to complete requests from other residents to the best of their ability. Failure to complete said requests without appropriate reasoning will result in disciplinary action.

Disciplinary action for failing to follow these instructions or performance duties will be left to the discretion of the house manager and include termination from this position or even house eviction.

Finally below all of it was Cody's own signature. He kind of hated himself for being dumb enough to sign something before he took the time to actually read it but... too late now. As long as he did what was expected of him then everything was cool, right? Just needed to follow in his coworkers example and everything would be cool. Speaking of coworkers, a number of notes had been scribbled onto the sheet by Vivian for them to read but Cody did not read them. He was actually a little excited to hear that he would be working with a pair of twins. Not that he had any intention of flirting with the residents but it had to make things more interesting at least.

Eventually Cody found his way to the end of the hallway to the door marked for housekeeping. Time to begin.

Although, in hindsight, he probably should have knocked first...

When he first opened the door Cody found himself staring at a pair of young women, half-Asian if he had to guess, with two different hair colors. That in itself was fine but the fact that they were presently half dressed caused him to gasp, loudly apologize and immediately close the door again. He half expected an angry scream to follow him but instead he only heard a pair of giggles and someone pulling the door back open after a moment.

"You know, you can just call down if you have a request, we do have a phone. You don't have to come all the way down to ask for us." Said the pink haired young woman with a chuckle as the door was re-opened. In the few passing moments it appeared that she had pulled on a single piece skirt.

"Er... sorry. I'm not here for a request. I, uh, work here?" Cody awkwardly attempted to explain. Noting her quizzical expression he presented the form he was given. "Uh, Ms. Mitchell told me to show you this."

"Oh? Let's see here... OH! You're the new guy! Wow, nice to meet you!" the bubbly girl exclaimed after looking over the document. "Hey April, look! The new guy has been assigned to work with us!"

"Really? I didn't think we'd get to meet him until it was time to wash his sheets or something." came a voice from the in the room. Peering around the teen in the doorway showed the young woman named April who had also slipped into a similar skirt as her sister. A picture perfect copy of her sister except that her hair appeared to be a brilliant light blue. She smiled as she caught Cody's eye and beckoned him to come inside. "Hi! I'm April and that's my sister May. You really going to be working here with us?"

"Yeah, I guess so." came his sheepish response.

"That's great! Don't worry, we'll show you the ropes. It's pretty easy stuff just time consuming." April said while ushering him into the room. "You picked a great day too, only routine stuff and a request from Ms. Trevino."

"Perfect!" chimed May. The way the two spoke and moved it was almost as if they shared a mind split across two bodies. It also gave Cody a slight uncomfortable sensation, as if he were being circled by sharks. "I can take the newbie up to see Ms. Trevino and show him what we do, you can handle the washing for the day."

A pout hit April's face followed by a sigh.

"It was supposed to be your turn... but fine. I'll do the washing today. But I think we're forgetting something."

"Huh? What could that be?"

"His uniform?"

An expression like a lightbulb dinging within her brain hit May before she turned back over to Cody. He didn't want to say it but the look in her eye was almost predatory. April's eyes too. Before he had proper time to react the two were on him, rapidly pulling at his clothes to undress him.

"H-hey! Hold on, what are you- ?!" he tried to protest but the whirlwind of motion had taken him totally off guard. The twins moved with a frightening efficiency as first they pushed him onto a bench, pulled at his hips, lifted his arms... soon he had been stripped totally nude. The shock of being naked barely had time to register before he found new clothing being pulled onto his body by the giggling girls. It almost felt like a cartoon but soon he found himself being pulled onto his feet and pushed in front of a mirror.

"Aaaaand done!" the two of them cheered in unison as Cody was given the first chance to actually process what had happened.

"What the... am I in a dress!?" he cried as he stared into the mirror.

Dress was something of an overstatement for the clothing that had been pulled onto his body in the confusion. In truth it was a single piece black skirt, identical to the ones worn by April and May, that felt as though it barely covered his hips. Even if it had been an extra six inches in length it would have felt too short. On top of that twins had managed to pull a pair of frilled white silk stockings up his legs that clung to his thighs snuggly. A worried check with his hands along the line of pelvis confirmed his worst fear yet. Oh god they'd put him into a pair of panties! No doubt matching the delicate effeminate pattern of his stockings. In all he looked like a young french maid with a flat chest.

"This... there is NO way I'm wearing this!" he cried out in protest.

"Ah ah, rules are rules!" May said, holding out the paperwork. "Everyone is given the same uniform and the _full _uniform has to be worn while you're working. Just be glad we don't make you wear the lipstick too."

"Plus, you already signed the paperwork saying you agreed to this." April added as if anticipating his next word of complaint.

Cody looked back into the mirror and sighed. There was no getting out of this one... he _really _should have read the damn paperwork before signing. He tried to pull at the skirt a bit in a **** hope that it might lower just an inch or two further but to no avail. He was just going to have to live with this.

"Aw buck up, bubble butt!" May laughed as she gave him a playful swat on his rear. "We've got work to do. Come on, I'll show you the way to Ms. Trevino's room."

With that she took her leave, heading to the door and only stopping in the hallway for Cody to catch up. Another heavy sigh was given as the young boy gave a final embarrassed look at himself, quietly hating how girly he looked right now, and then reluctantly followed in step behind his teacher to be. Lets just get this over with...
