Vivi has short red hair and a green sweater.

Enjoy.

-_-_

"Sooo, were you, like, a mad genius before...you know?" Asked Vivi with a bright smile as she followed Hilbert

"No, i was just obsessed with sci fi stories; so i had learnt a lot of sciencey stuff to try to make something like it." Said Hilbert tiredly "that quickly ended at twelve, but began again here"

"Huh? I died at twelve too" said Vivian before putting a hand on her chin "interesting"

Spark, who has no idea what's going on, decided to ask 'what do you mean?'

"Oh...i forgot you were here" said Hilbert in realization before turning to the robot "Spark, I'll explain everything later. For now, do NOT tell mom or Hilda about anything you hear today. Got it?"

Spark nodded and Vivian pet them on their head happily. "Aww, you're such a good friend! Yes you are, yes you are". Spark let out a few zaps of happiness between their horns in response to this.

"Traitor" deadpanned Hilbert before noticing his house in front of them "*sigh* anyway, we're here"

"So that's your home. It's different from...you know. Wait...how would the time worm thing happen with your here instead of...?"

"Actually, that old man is somehow still our neighbor. Seems like it's about as fated to happen as the giant stepping on our old house" answered Hilbert, trying to ignore Vivi's question "now, stay here for a minute. I'll go up and grab some stuff for day."

"Oooh, like inventions of mad science?" Asked Vivi excitedly as she jumped in her place

Hilbert stared at her silently for a few seconds with a tired expression before letting out a sigh "Yes." That one word caused her to squeal in excitement. Hilbert ignored her and headed inside.

"Hi, mum" said Hilbert as he ented the house

"You seem happy. Did you enjoy spending time eith your new friend?" Asked Johanna with a smile

"Well, turns out we have a lot in common." Said Hilbert calmly as headed towards his room "I'll go out again in a bit. I just need to grab some stuff for the parade"

"A lot in common? I didn't expect that" said Johanna in slight confusion while still being happy for her son.

"SOME things in common. It's just a figure of speech, mum." Replied Hilbert with a frown; hoping this would stop Johanna from thinking about it too much.

"Okay, okay. I'm just happy you actually have a friend that's not made of metal" said Johanna with a bright smile "no insult to Spark, of course."

"Yeah, yeah." Said Hilbert as he ran into his room

He looked through his shelves, drawers and cabinets for anything he that could help him watch the parade without interruption.

"Floating platform, camera, walkie talkies, small flying drone and it's controller. Okay, i think this should be all i need" Hilbert spoke to himself as he put said items inside a black backpack

"Hilbert!" Hilda called from outside the room "i need your help"

Hilbert gave her an odd look and she continued "do you have something that could bring back lost memories?" She asked

"Who's it for?"

"A friend" she said quickly "if you have one, can i borrow it?"

"Are they human?" Asked Hilbert already knowing who she needed the device for

"Does it matter?" Asked Hilda, raising a brow

"Yes, it does. I don't know if it'll work on something not human. I can't exactly go to the library to learn about brains that aren't. Which means i also can't guarantee that it's safe for your friend. Assuming they're not human, of course"

He wasn't lying, he did make a device to recover memories and even one to erase them if need be, but the brain was a sensitive thing; he didn't want to destroy it or the memory by accident, so he put a large amount of safety measures in the device and made sure it had as little side effects as possible.

'Those safety measures do work on some animals and bugs, but probably not on a size shifting bird that lets out lightning.'

"Do you really not have anything else?" Asked Hilda with a frown as she crossed her arms

"Uhhh, no." Hilbert deadpanned before approaching Hilda with an unamused expression "I suggest trying to jog up their memory the normal way. Anyway, got to go!"

Hilda watched as her brother quickly left the room before turning to the room itself. She stood in her place silently thinking of the possibility of finding that device on her own. Then Hilbert quickly came back and spoke.

"And don't even think about raiding my room for that device" Demanded Hilbert as he stared at Hilda with narrowed eyes "like you're doing right now."

"Ugh, just go." Said Hilda rolling her eyes with a deep frown; clearly frustrated by her brother's words.

Hilbert rolled his eyes and left the house, but not before giving Johanna a walkie talkie in case she 'needed anything from him'

That was only an excuse. The only thing she'd be needing from him is help finding the great raven.

"Hilbert, wait. Me and Hilda are coming with." Said Johanna with a happy smile. Hilbert was about to protest, but then Johanna continued "Vivi can join us too, if she wants"

Hilbert didn't have a reply to that. He shrugged and waited for his mom to take them to the parade.

Though before she could go with them through the door, she had to go get the 'wallet' she forgot.

_-_-_

"Oh, you're back!" Exclaimed Vivian happily as she held Spark affectionately.

"Why are you projecting the alphabet on the ground?" Asked Hilbert in confusion as stared at the alphabet made by Spark on the ground

"This little gentleman was just teaching me Morse code" the red haired girl replied before cooing over Spark who very much enjoyed the attention. Vivian soon saw Hilda behind Hilbert "hello, my name's Vivian. I'm Hilbert's friend." She said extending her hand to Hilda

"The term 'friend' is being used very loosely here" grumbled Hilbert with a frown

"I'm Hilda" replied Hilda with a bright smile "i didn't expect Hilbert to make a friend like you"

Vivian giggled a little after hearing that, causing Hilbert to frown. He took Spark from Vivi and spoke "yeah, I don't like socializing; you don't have to point it out to everyone."

Spark let out a few angry zaps in Hilbert's hands. Hilbert glared at them, causing Spark to go silent.

"Got my wallet" said Johanna as she waved her wallet "let's go. Vivian, would you like to come with us?"

"Sure" said Vivian with a smile

And with that, they headed into the city.

-_-_

"Maybe i should get out more" said Hilda cheerfully as she walked through the streets of Trollberg "i could go out tomorrow on my own?"

As Hilda was about to take another step forward, Johanna pulled her back slightly; stopping her daughter from being ran over by a car.

"I think it'd be better if i showed you around first" said Johanna with a smile

"Yeah, otherwise she'd get herself nearly killed" said Hilbert with a small smile

"At least i get out of my room voluntarily" countered Hilda with a frown

Before Hilbert could reply, Johanna stopped the two.

"No! We are not doing this today." Said Johanna firmly as she stood between the siblings. "You two have to promise me that you won't fight today, no matter what. Just for today."

Knowing that they couldn't really make a good argument, the twins looked at each other before nodding to Johanna in union.

It was then that Vivian realized that a mad scientist and an adventurer don't mix very well.

-_-_

"Tadaa! Trollberg's famous bird parade" said Johanna as she gestured to the people in costumes, the decorations and more. She continued after something quickly caught her eye "ooh, it's the sparrow scouts! Let's go meet them. I was a sparrow scout when i was your age"

"I'm not joining them" deadpanned Hilbert

"I get it. I refused to join too." Commented Vivi as Hilda and Johanna moved forwards

"Huh? So what do you do in your free time then?" Asked Hilbert raising a brow as he put his hands in his vest pockets

"Oh, i like writing stories and novels" said Vivi cheerfully with starry eyes "but my dream is for one of them to be one day...animated"

"Hmm, if i have the time, mayb-" said Hilbert with a hand on his chin before he was suddenly pulled away by Hilda "what's going on with you?!"

"The great raven is in my room back home and if we don't bring him back before the parade a catastrophe will happen" said Hilda quickly in a panic

"Where are you two going?" Asked Johanna as she pulled Hilda

"Mum! I think the great raven is in our house! He's lost his memory!"

"You didn't find the great raven, you just found A raven" said Johanna calmly "and i had to kick him out. You can't leave random birds in the house."

"What?! He's not random! H-he talks!" Said Hilda in a panic

"Well, he didn't say anything to me"

"Mum, if you were a creature that talks even though you're not supposed to, would you talk to every person you see" said Hilbert as matter of fact

"No, i don't thin-Oh" said Johanna calmly before the realization dawned on her

"C'mon, c'mon. We have to go!" Said Hilda in a panic before running back to the house, causing her family to follow her.

"Sorry, Vivian! Gotta go!" Said Hilbert as he waved to Vivi before turning to Spark "Spark! C'mon!"

Vivian waved back, in her mind a plan to watch the whole thing happen.

"Oh no! He's not here!" Exclaimed Hilda worriedly "he must've went into the city"

"Do you have any idea where he might've gone?" Asked Johanna

"He said he remembered something about a statue of a tall bald man with a beard" replied Hilda worriedly

"I know where that is" said Johanna with a smile

"I'll search from the sky" said Hilbert as he pulled a flying drone from his backpack and a controller "make sure i don't bump into anything by accident"

Johanna nodded and Hilda spoke "let's go"

The three then ran back into the streets. Spark followed them very closely.

-_-_

"How do you know your way around here? all the street looks exactly alike" said Hilda in confusion as she walked through the streets of Trollberg

"You know? Some people say the same about rocks" said Johanna with a soft smile

"That's crazy, every rock is different" replied Hilda in shock

"You two can find your way around?" Said Hilbert with a deep frown as he looked up from his controller "Spark just has a digital map to lead me around. Maybe i should make a watch that has a one too"

Johanna giggled a little at her son's words before speaking "well, the houses are different just like rocks"

She then goes on to show the twins that there are differences between each house which Hilda quickly picked up on. Hilbert didn't bother as he already knew his way around the city.

"See, you're adjusting already" said Johanna happily before turning to Hilbert

"Yeah, don't get me wrong; Trollberg still isn't as interesting as a rock, but close."

Johanna turned to Hilbert "and you look like you already know what to look out for"

"It's...nothing; not a big deal. Hehe"

_-_-_

It wasn't long before the bells of Trollberg rang, signalling for the raven that was supposed to arrive

Hilda and Johanna decided to go find some higher grounds to look from while Hilbert continued looking around using his drone.

Hilda and Johanna made up unto a roof with some coin operated binoculars without Hilbert.

Hilbert was...curious as to what they'll talk about. So he flew the drone to a location near his mother and his sister where they wouldn't notice it and looked from there.

After the conversation was half was done, he turned the sound off with a sigh. Spark gave him an odd look and asked how he was and why was he bothered by what he heard.

"It's okay, i'm not annoyed or anything. Just a bit...lonely now that they're up there."

'Does this have to do with what you and Vivi were talking about?' Asked Spark worriedly, sensing his Creator's sadness

"Sort of?" It was a simple conversation between a mother and her daughter, nothing that should upset him; yet it made him feel bad when he thought about it.

It gave him the feeling that now that, now they were in Trollberg, things would be different. It reminded him of how he thought the moment he became Hilbert.

'They're not my family'

It's not that he didn't want them to be, yet the feeling that he locked deep in his heart was still there: the feeling that he didn't belong here. He clutched his chest as he thought about it.

Spark suddenly let out a loud zap, snapping Hilbert out of his trance. 'found the raven, he's in a cage' they zapped out in morse code.

"Spark, get there as fast as you can and try to let the raven out" Hilbert ordered quickly, forgetting any sense of the plot he's supposed to keep

Spark curled up into a smooth metal ball and sped towards the raven like a wheel. Hilbert followed closely.

Soon he made it to a bridge where Trevor was trying to avoid Spark. Hilbert, who was pretty exhausted from running towards here, run up to Trevor and tried to pull the raven away.

Spark climbed unto Trevor, trying to reach the cage where the great raven was. Trevor, feeling that something was climbing unto his body, dropped Spark and the cage into the water below in a panic.

Hilbert's eyes widened as he saw Spark drop into the water. Spark was waterproof, but only enough to wash them without trouble. Being dropped in a lake could destroy Spark

"No no no no!" Without thinking, Hilbert jumped in after them; barely hearing his mother shout his name out loud.

'I messed up' was his first thought.

He was exhausted and didn't know how to swim. He clutched Spark tightly as he heard Hilda shout to the raven before she jumped in as well.

Then he saw something red and green approach him in the water before he passed out.

_-_-_

"Hilbert!" Hilbert heard the sound of his mother's worried voice

"Ugh, what's-" Hilbert woke up groggily to a tight hug from his mother "mum?"

"I'm so glad you're okay" said Johanna tightening the hug even further. "I was so worried"

Hilbert hesitated for a second before returning the hug with a large smile. Soon, thought, he remembered something.

"Wait! Where's-"

"Right here!" Said familiar cheery voice. It was Vivian, who was soaking wet from jumping into the water, and she was holding Spark in her hands. She pointed at the sky to some lighting and continued "and over there"

Hilbert went silent as he stared Vivi, he wondered if she...had saved him

"Did you...?"

"Can't let my first friend drown now can i?" Said Vivian with a bright smile as she put spark on the ground

"Thanks" said Hilbert with a smile

"No prob, and hey? Don't let the bad feeling set in, okay?" Shouted Vivi as she ran away "gotta go, bye!"

Hilbert immediately understood what she meant by 'feeling'. She saw him hesitate to hug Johanna back.

"Feeling?" Asked Johanna in confusion

"It's nothing to worry about" said Hilbert with a smile "wanna go sit down somewhere and wait for Hildaa haa aaatchoo!"

"Sure, but before that" Johanna said with a soft smile as she took off her coat "we need to get you warmed up"

Soon, Hilda got down from on top of the raven and she and her family sat together and watched the parade together.

Completely ignoring the fact that Hilbert's drone completely disappeared.
