"We're finally here. Thank goodness." Lucina said.
"Hey, Mateo." Gabe greeted.
"Hey, Gabe."Mateo said.
"Who's this?" Gabe asked pointing at Lucina.
"My sister." Mateo answered.
"Since when did you have a sister?"
"Since yesterday. She's my long lost sister. She came to my house last night."
"He's right. I snuck into his house like they do in books." Lucina said as if she was proud of herself.
"Ok..."Gabe trailed off.
As Mateo and Lucina entered the palace they soon spot Elena.
"Hey, Mateo. I wasn't expecting to see you so soon." Elena said.
"Well, I thought I might be able to teach Lucina magic or something." Mateo said.
"Cool. What goes first? You doing your work or..." Lucina trailed off knowing Mateo knew what she was about to say.
"Me doing my work," He answered and saw Lucina's sad face, "Don't worry I'll have time for you."
There was soon a big BOOM sound coming from Isabel's room.
"What was that?" Lucina jumped a little.
"My little sister, Isabel. She's working on her new invention, but it's not turning out the way she's hoping for." Elena explained.
"Oh." Lucina said and followed Elena to Isabel's room.
"Ugh! Why won't this work?" Isabel moaned as her invention broke.
"Hey, Isa, maybe you should take a break." Elena suggested.
"But, I can't. This invention is for the school invention competition. It's in two weeks." Isabel said with a little sadness in her voice.
"Hm...What are you trying to invent?" Lucina asked.
"I'm trying to invent something that'll help people who have disabilities. Something that'll make a good friend for people." Isabel described.
"Hm...Ooh. I have a suggestion. Maybe if you try connecting these two wires together and cut this green one. There. And... these bolts seem to keep coming loose." Lucina said.
"I know. Everytime I try to put them on...Ugh! They just keep coming off." Isa tried her best to put the bolts on.
"I have these bolts." Lucina said pulling some bolts out of her pocket.
"You just happened to be carrying a bunch of bolts?" Isa questioned.
"And nuts. Both the good kind and the fixing kind." Lucina ate a nut from her pocket.
"Did you know that?" Elena asked.
"No. I've only known her for about a day and a half now. She's her own person." Mateo admitted.
"And... there. Now try it, Isa." Lucina said confidently.
Isabel turned her invention on and it came on. Isabel gasped in amazement.
"Hello, there. I my name is Chico. I am at your service and will be your best friend." The robot said.
"We did it. Thank you, so much, Lucina. You're an amazing inventor yourself." Isa complimented.
"Thanks. I just like to tinker with things." Lucina said.
"Again, thank you. Now I can finally relax." Isa said.
"It was nothing." Lucina said and left the room.
"Wow, Lucina, you never told me you can invent." Mateo said in amazement.
"When you live at an orphanage with nothing to do and no one to talk to you tend to tinker lot." Lucina said.
They soon went to the workshop and Mateo started showing Lucina some spells.
