~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was down in the lab when I had done it. I, the amazing Fwhip had made the most advanced robot the Empires have ever seen. A robot that could sort objects of all kinds into separate sections! Ok not the most useful but hey it's something. Even though Grimlands was the most technologically advanced Empire, we haven't perfected most robots. This was an amazing feat of technology, having a robot that automatically senses things and sorts them. I was practically shaking with excitement at my new creation.

I had to show Gem, she needed to know about the amazing robot that her amazing twin brother made. We rarely saw each other anymore, with the two of us ruling different empires we don't have much free time. It felt like forever since we last talked and, while I will forever deny it I did miss Gem. I immediately grabbed my elytra and started heading outside. Could I have sent her a letter? Maybe. Could I have told her about the robot in said letter? Yes, but this is an excuse to see and bother Gemstone, and I will not pass it up. I quickly started flying over to the Crystal Cliffs, it got colder when I had to pass by Rivendell and I severely regretted not bringing a jacket. I don't know how Scott deals with it. That dang elf lives in sub zero temperatures and acts like it's nothing.

I finally land and rush over to the academy. The teachers and students don't even bat an eye at my sudden appearance. This wasn't the first time I've rushed into the academy. I went up to Gem's office and burst through the door. "Gem! You won't believe what I just made!"

Gem shrieked and a spark of magic shot out of her staff. We both duck as the spark of magic bounces off the walls of the room. The magic crashes into a bookshelf and I look at Gem with a sheepish smile "heh heh, oops"

"FWHIP! I told you not to barge into my office like that! That spell could have hit you!" Gem snapped,

"I forgot alright, now you need to know the brand new robot your older brother just made!"

"You're two minutes older than me" Gem said in a matter of fact tone.

"Still means i'm older than you, now listen I just perfected–"

"Fwhip...not right now, I'm busy" Gem cut me off with a sigh,

"Busy ignoring your favorite brother"

"Fwhip, your my only brother"

"Well Gemstone if you use the big brain of yours, you'll figure out that that also make your favorite" I said with a grin

"Come on Fwhip I have to focus on this spell."

"The hell you are reading about spells for anyways? I thought that you already knew all of them." I asked while leaning over to look at the book on Gem's desk. Gem sighed before answering me.

"First off watch your mouth, second I'm not memorizing spells, I'm trying to make a new one. A while back Scott found a book in an abandoned library or something and he found out that the book was sealed with a spell. He came to me asking if I could find a spell to help undo the spell and figure out the contents of the book"

"I could've said something a lot worse you know, like fu-"

"ANYWAYS, I couldn't find anything in my spell books or in the library, so I'll have to make a new spell to try to figure out how to crack this seal." Gem picks up the book and the pages seem glowing a faint pink color.

"Have you tried to pry it open?" I said, I grabbed the book and used all my strength to try and rip it open. It stayed shut.

"Yeah keep going, I wanna see what breaks first, your fingers or your will"

"Ha ha very funny Gem but you don't understand my genius, if I can get this stupid book open you don't have to work, and I can tell you all about my amazing new robot."

"Fwhip, brute force isn't gonna solve this kind of problem, just leave the spell casting to me and you can go...make robots or whatever"

"But I just made one, and I came here to tell you about it. So stop being such a buzzkill and listen to me about my new cool robot"

"Fwhip, let me focus on this, you can tell me about your robot later."

"But Gemmmm I flew all this way to to come see youuu"

"That was your choice, it's not my fault that you came when I was busy

"Fine, I'll leave you alone." I lied, well not entirely lied. I was gonna leave her alone, but I am taking that book with me. It's shiny, looks kind of cool, and it's taking up all of Gem's attention. I turn on my heel, quickly snatch the book off of Gem's desk and bolted for the door.

"FWHIP YOU BRING THAT BOOK BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" Gem stood up and started to chance me down the hall. I ran past teachers and students, I nearly crashed into a few of them. I looked over my shoulder to see Gem on my tail yelling at me to give back the book. I dunno why she's freaking out so much, the book can't be that important. I ran through some double doors and ended up in the library, books shelfs ran up and down the walls. Gem suddenly grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me out of the library. "ARE YOU CRAZY!?"

"A little"

"You can't just run off with very important and irreplaceable artifacts for...whatever stupid reason you came with!" Gem continued to lecture me on running off like that. I was hardly listening though, I just wanted Gem to take a break for a bit, and actually relax.

"I...I just wanted you to focus on something other than your stupid work."

"Fwhip, there are other ways to get my attention–"

"Everytime I tried to talk to you, you told me to leave! I just wanted to talk for a bit like we used to but you shut me down in every way, shape, and form!" I snapped, I just wanted to talk to her for a bit and yet she's acting like I'm the bad guy.

"You could've sent a letter! Or given me one of those prototype communicators you're working on! You didn't have to barge into the academy and run through the halls. Causing chaos and panic among the students and staff!"

"It's not the same as talking to you in person! I shouldn't have to write letters upon letters just to get to talk to you, to see you. I don't want to only see my sister once a month because you're too burnt out to even think about casting a spell"

"Don't act like you aren't a workaholic as well. You used to spend days down in the dungeon you call a lab. I used to have to pry you away from that desk with a crowbar."

"I'm trying to do that for you right now! You've been working for gods know how long and I just want you to take a break for once, and enjoy yourself"

"You think I don't enjoy teaching magic?" Gem asked, raising her eyebrow

"um–I–no, not what I said. What I mean is that I want you to take time to rest, and not work yourself into an early grave."

"Says the guy who literally spent three days straight in his lab making robots" Gem said in a deadpan voice.

"Ok, Ok, I'll admit, some of my old working habits weren't the best. But i'm better now, I actually take breaks"

"Some? Fwhip you literally would only come out of that dungeon for food and water"

"Hey, you don't get to talk! You spend way too much time cooped up in that office of yours"

"sure, sure...look Fwhip we both know how much it takes to rule an empire, we're both working hard and we both think the other should take a break right?" I nod my head "I have an idea that might help with the overworking and with wanting to see each other more often. How about that the two of us plan to meet up with each other every other week. We could talk about ruling stuff or just relax with each other as company. It would be a way for us to see each other and prevent ourselves from burning out. How does that sound?" I pause to think about it for a second before answering

"That sounds perfect"

"Good, next time you wanna see me, don't go stealing artifacts off my desk!" Gem says before whacking me over the head with the book

"Hey! What the heck!" Gem starts laughing at my response and she lowers her hand with the book in it.

"Oh Fwhip, never change"

"Wasn't planning on it"
