Gem invited her brothers friends over to her Empire to make Winterfest decorations
She knew the two could be chaotic but trusted them not to try and burn her house down, well kind of
But how much chaos could the two of them really cause
-----
Gem very quickly found out that the answer was a lot a lot of Chaos
Somehow they went from making decorations out of plants and paper to starting a bee Revolution
She only left them alone for five minutes, FIVE!!!
Eventually they all cooperated the bees were all back in their nests and they went back to making decorations
Jim had gotten an old book of how to make decorations from Pips apparently it was from an Old Kingdom called Mifflin the name sounded familiar and the book felt just as familiar
she remembered making the decorations in it with her brothers and family and Pearl, she remembered keeping that tradition alive even once her parents both passed, she remembered it was one of the last things her and her brothers all did together before the end, she remembered how Pearl would make sure to keep every single one of the decorations she remembered how they looked decorating the halls of the elegant Castle decorations poorly made by children out of flowers and paper, sticks and leather they weren't pretty and they weren't good but her parents insisted that they go up
But she was sure she'd never seen the book anywhere but it still felt familiar in her hand probably just some deja vu
She showed the book to her (brothers) friends, fWhip asked where she found it and when she told him pics gave it to her he laughed and said no surprise he has all the old junk on the server sausage has kept staring at it though
"Where-where did you say it was from?" Sausage asked seeming a little concerned by the books existence
"Some old kingdom called 'Mythland'." Gem told him, a little worried about why he was concerned by the book
"Weird, it looks almost familiar but I've never been anywhere called Midland before and I don't think I've ever seen that book before."
"Maybe it just looks like some type of common book because I had the same reaction, it looked- it looked like something I used to know but I've never seen it"
Maybe... hey where did fWhip g- why is something burning?
Gem ran off to stop her brother friend
"fWhip put the torch down, you're going to burn down the barn"
"they'll be fine"
"no they won't"
-----
Once the fire incident had been dealt with and fWhip was shot with a spectral Arrow so he so they could see where he was at all times
The three went back to crafting, fWhip hadn't particularly looked at the book for that long before
"How long have you had this book for them it looks familiar but I don't think I've ever had it." fWhip said staring at the book while tilting his head like a cat
"Oh I just got it today me and sausage are pretty sure it just looks like a common book because it felt really familiar to the both of us as well."
"Maybe we knew it in a past life ooooo~." fWhip said dramatically
"Stranger things have happened." Gem and Sausage nodded in agreements with her
"Oh come on, you don't really believe in like past lives and all that, do you? I think it's all just a bunch of junk, if there really were past Lives why wouldn't we be able to remember them?"
"I think when you have a past life you remember bits and pieces but it's not specific memories it's just more the feeling of people and things, that's how some people just know they're destined to be friends, I mean that's why Jimmy and Lizzie hang out. Lizzie says that he feels like a little brother to her and he says she's like an older sister even though the two of them have next to nothing in common and they both kind of knew that the other was like a sibling to them when they first met even though it had been the first time they ever met." Sausage said finally speaking up
"Maybe Lizzie just comes from a big family so acts like a an older sister." fWhip said
"But she doesn't as far as she can remember she was an only child, she was always on her own as a kid."
"I mean both of you have felt like little brothers so maybe it's just the type of feeling some people have for others I mean sometimes people just act like younger siblings." Gem said
"Do you have any siblings?"
"Well no but- I mean I guess your point makes some sense, you two really act like little brothers though"
"We do not!" fWhip protested
"We kinda do, I think if the three of us were siblings fWhip was the middle child." He said the second bit holding his hand to his mouth as if he was telling Gem a secret even though fWhip could hear him perfectly
"Hey I would not be the middle child!"
"Oh he absolutely would be the middle child." Gem agreed
"Hey!" fWhip shouted
"I mean he's small enough to be the youngest but he acts like a middle child." Gem said giggling at her brother's friend's behavior
"What does that even mean?" fWhip whined to his siblings friends
"Yeah he does." Sausage said agreeing with his sister friend
