Emily and Bastion had been watching funny Phineas and Ferb memes on YouTube. After they finally scrolled down so far that the videos started to repeat themselves and all that was left were playlist and users that were probably dead, Emily yawned.

Bastion thought she was going to fall asleep but she didn't. Emily turned off the screen in the Overwatch movie room and leaned back in her chair. "This is kinda boring." She said. "All we do is watch TV shows I like."

"Wee woo bee?" (Translation: That's not fun?) Bastion asked.

Emily laughed a bit. "It's fun for a bit but I'd like to do something else." She thought for a moment. She looked around the room thinking up something they could do. Her eyes landed on Bastion and she got an idea. "What do you want to do, Bastion?"

Bastion was surprised. He had never been asked what he wanted before. Bastion was so used to following people and sitting down while others did everything. He had never done anything fun.

Bastion sat completely still and processed for a few minutes. Emily waved her hand in front of Bastion's eye light thing just to make sure he didn't crash or anything. He looked down to Emily and noticed her parakeet T-shirt and got a supreme idea. "Beep beep bop boop bop!" (Translation: Let's go to Eichenwalde!)

"You mean... travel across the continent?" Emily questioned. "I'm in!" She quickly got a hold of her Uber driver and soon they were on their way to Eichenwalde.

It took them an hour to travel to Eichenwalde by Uber because of the futuristic technology and Symmetra being really good Uber driver. She dropped Bastion and Emily off on some random untrustworthy dirt road in Eichenwalde and drove away without any hesitation.

They stood before a building that was pretty much half rubble. Bastion did a robotic gasp before dashing over to a pile of parts. "Beep beep boople beep!" (Translation: That's my brother!) He beeped.

"I'm sorry for your loss..." Emily said sadly.

"Beep." (Translation: I never liked him anyway.)

Then they both stood in long awkward silence. "Um, Why did you bring me here?" Emily asked.

Bastion made a happy beep noise and then continued walking down the dirt paths of Eichenwalde. Emily wondered why it still looked like something from the 2000s. There was no super advanced technology. Only stones.

Bastion walked into a cluster of trees that eventually led into the Black Forest map somehow. Emily followed him with skepticism because he was being so secretive. They pushed their way through the thicc trees until they appeared in the map.

Emily was amazed by the beauty of the Black Forest but a bit peeved that her Adidas red flats were getting all muddy. She should have checked the weather before putting on one of her many pairs of shoes.

"What is this place?" Emily asked as Bastion sat down at the base of a tree.

"Da da weeee." (Translation: Check this out.) Bastion whisper beeped before making weird bird like chirping noises. Ganymede suddenly descended from the tree.

Emily gasped at the sight of Ganymede because she loved birds. Ganymede morse coded a bunch of random words as she flew circles around Emily. She knew Bastion brought Emily to the Black Forest to try and win her heart again.

More birds that looked like Ganymede flew down from the trees. Emily stood in the t-pose to allow the birds to land on her arms. She beamed and turned to Bastion. "Is this why you brought me here?" she asked.

Bastion looked down thinking Emily was disappointed and nodded sheepishly. Then he remembered that a smile indicated happiness in humans and he looked up again. Emily was playing with all the birds that were now circling around her and chirping random words in morse code.

Ganymede landed on Bastion's shoulder plate thing. "--. --- -.. / .-.. ..- -.-. -.- / -- -.-- / -.. --- --- -.. /" (Translation: Good luck my dood) She whisper tweeted before joining her many children as they flew around Emily.

For the rest of the day, Emily and Bastion played around in the Black Forest with the birds. They did things such as karaoke and hide and seek. Once it started getting too dark and cold for Emily, they returned back to the watchpoint.
