DISCLAIMER: This is a remake of the story "Hilda and Hilbert". The original story was created by Tophatman. For those seeking the original version of the story, a link to it will be provided by PM or by description. This version has some differences compared to the original version. Small spoiler, since Season 3 of the show was supposed to have more episodes, but Netflix cut them to only 8, I will accommodate for those for some extra adventures for Hilda and the characters to go through. Also, the title of this remake will be changed to avoid confusion with the story "Hilda and the Eversing Mirror" since the Hilbert in that story is Hilda's male counterpart, whereas in this story, he is her brother. Another note to make is that although these chapters might have unaltered writing by the original writer, some will be rephrased/replaced, with the credit still going to Tophatman for making this story in the first place.

A boy was creating a robot hamster with goat horns in the living room of a cabin. His mother entered through the door. "Hilbert, have you seen your sister?"

"Yeah. She went out having adventures again. You know how she is," Hilbert replied. He is a 12-year-old boy that is the twin brother of a girl with blue hair. He had a reputation for building machinery, which resulted in them blowing up in his face, literally. One time, his hair was caught on fire, and he didn't notice, causing his mom to put it out.

"You know," the mother said with a smile. "It won't hurt to go outside with her. Being cooped here all day isn't a thing I recommend."

"I would rather try to play it safe, thank you very much." Hilbert replied sarcastically. "But I can take out Spark. He could use some training on new tricks. Come on, boy."

The robot known as Spark hopped on Hilbert's head before the boy went outside the door. His mother sighed while shaking her head.

Hilbert placed Spark on a maze he had created. There was some food for the robot to get for finishing the task. "Come on, Spark. I want you to go and retrieve this peanut I put on this maze. I know you can do it this time!"

Spark nodded as he started the mission. It was going smooth at first, just like his master planned. However, some heavy wind occurred, causing some leaves to fly onto the maze. Spark was covered by one of them. Hilbert tried to help, but a leaf got in his eye, causing him to scream. This all led to him falling on top of the maze. Spark was thankfully unharmed, but Hilbert was a different story. Before he knew it, the maze exploded. The boy grunted in annoyance in response. He failed to notice the fire on his head.

"Damn. This is the fourth time this week my invention flunked," Hilbert muttered angrily, before petting Spark.

Hilbert's mom was surprised to see the boy return home early. "Let me guess: another bust?"

The boy groaned in response. "This has been happening for a while. There were very few little successes, and even then, they didn't last very long!"

"Tell me about it," the mother pulled out a fire extinguisher and squirted it at her son's head to douse the fire. "You know, we can't all accomplish stuff in our first try. Besides, you're 11 years old. You got all the time in the world."

"At this rate, I might be a year older than my twin," Hilbert pouted in a grumpy manner.

Spark had an idea. He scurried to the mother and pointed at the winter gear Hilbert's sister wore before. The mom spoke. "Hey, here's what you can do in the meantime: go and find your sister! You should be getting along with her rather than avoiding her."

Hilbert rolled his eyes. "Right. Getting along with the kid that puts her life at risk when she goes out to have adventures. That sounds fun."

"Yet you make these inventions that blow up in your face,"

"Come on, not all of them were total disasters!" Hilbert scoffed. "They were all in the name of science."

"Well, can you find your sibling with your science?" Hilbert's mom joyfully asked.

"Sure can," the boy pulled out a tracking device. "This thing shows her current whereabouts."

The mother takes it away. "Perhaps you should find her yourself instead and hang out with her."

"Do I have to?" Hilbert groaned.

"Come on. If you can't do it for her, at least do it for me." The mom gave a hopeful look.

Hilbert stared at his mother with an unamused look. Spark just watched.

"Damn, she always gets me," Hilbert mumbled as he was walking outside with his companion.

Spark made some noises that made it look like he sided with Hilbert's mom.

"'Try and go outside,' she said. It'll be fun, she said'." Hilbert mocked his mother. "I'll tell you this: running from a troll that will end your life is NOT what I consider fun!"

There were two types of siblings in every world: those that fought together through thick and thin, and the one that suits Hilbert and his sister: the type that'd fight for a special treat they aren't going to eat. Granted, they wouldn't try to murder each other for that type of goal, but the point still stands. The thing that Hilbert hated about his sister was that she would get herself into trouble in her adventures. Hilbert was also despised by his sibling because he wouldn't do anything outside their home, let alone go on adventures with her. This is why the two kids don't have the best relationship. Eventually, the boy reached his sister, who was drawing a troll in her sketchbook after placing a bell on it.

"Oh, you're here." the blue-haired girl said.

"So, this is where you are, Hilda. Out in the middle of nowhere, drawing near a dangerous creature while Mom wonders where you are." Hilbert deadpanned.

"At least I prefer going outside, Mr. Bombshell." Hilda frowned.

"Oh, I would go outside, just not in front of a-" Hilbert immediately stopped.

"What?" Hilda questioned her brother. She heard a bell sound. "Oh. That."

The rocks all crumbled. Twig was surprised as the troll broke out of its stony prison and roared at the children.

"I have an idea on how to deal with this," Hilbert said quickly.

"What would that be?" Hilda asked.

"RUN!"

The two kids along with their companions made a break for it. It was quite a challenge to escape from the troll since they were never able to escape its sight.

"Damn, I shouldn't have come here!" Hilbert cried.

"Well, you shouldn't have left the house in the first place!" responded Hilda.

Soon, the kids and deerfox hid behind a tree. The troll started to approach until it went to another direction.

"What gives?" Hilda was confused.

"Spark is distracting the troll with a projector he has," Hilbert confirmed, as the troll chased a video of the two kids running away. "Pretty clever."

"I see," Hilda peeked. "Spark is smart for getting us out of that one."

Hilbert crossed his arms. "For your information, I created Spark."

Hilda rolled her eyes before the kids resumed their journey home. They eventually reached it and were about to go inside until they heard grunts. They turned around to face the same troll that chased them earlier this afternoon. "Damn, this guy won't quit!" Hilbert complained. He saw his sister approach the moving troll. "What the hell do you think you are doing?"

Hilda ignored her brother's scolding and inspected the troll trying to grab its nose. The two kids came to the realization that the troll only chased them just to get the bell off its nose. The blue-haired girl managed to untie it, causing silence between all of them. Hilbert panicked when the troll grabbed his sister. He tried to throw berries to blind its eyesight so Hilda can escape, but the troll used its other arm to restrain him. Eventually, the troll used its tongue to give Hilda her notebook back. The creature left everyone once that was accomplished.

"Well, that was unexpected." Hilbert spoke. "You know doing stuff like that will get you seriously hurt, right?"

Hilda was annoyed. "The troll only followed us because the bell was annoying,"

"The one you tied around its nose?"

Hilda rolled her eyes as she dusted herself. She and her twin resumed their debacle until everyone entered their home.
