The Blacksmith Apprentice Exchange Program

The Phone Call to Start it All

"I just don't know what to do anymore! My idiot nephew spends all his time working in the mine. I can barely call him a blacksmith apprentice! He doesn't even bother coming to work with me in the forge!" the voice on the phone huffed with rage.

"I understand your anger Ramsey; that's why I called. My grandson spends all his time in the forge, but his work is mediocre. It's like he isn't learning anything from me! Which is why I came up with this idea. My grandson works, it's just not very good. Yours doesn't work, but I'm sure he has at least a fraction of your astounding talent. If we swap apprentices for, let's say a season, maybe we can improve their faults. What do you think?"

Silence sat on the other line for a few moments. Ramsey was going over the proposed plan. Swap apprentices? Interesting. "All right Saibara, you're on. If you can get Owen to actually work for once, I will forever be in your debt."

"And if you can improve Gray's skill, I will be in yours," Saibara said. "So, I say the swap should take place in…how about three days?"

"Sounds good. I'll call you with updates on Gray's improvement. Until then, my friend," Ramsey concluded.

"Until then," finished Saibara and he hung up the phone with a celebratory click. The plan had worked! Hopefully both of these apprentices will learn better from someone else. He smiled at his ingenious plan. The Blacksmith Apprentice Exchange Program. This ought to be fun.

AN: Hi everyone! Thank you so much for reading! Can you imagine Owen and Gray switching places? Saibara was right, this ought to be fun! The rest of the chapters will come out in twos, a day in Gray's life, and a day in Owen's. Their personalities are so different it should be fun to see them out of their element! Haha, well, see ya next time! READ AND REVIEW PLEASE!
