Chapter 2: Mad scientist?
(no ones POV)
A week has passed since the meeting between (y/n) and Hekapoo in the caslte of mewni. Since then, (y/n) has been working constantly in his home day and night without stopping to perfect his project. On the other hand, Hekapoo has been quite busy with her work as a member of the magical high commission. But today was a little different for Hekapoo. One would think that the worst thing about being immortal is seeing the people around you grow old and die. But the truth is that the worst part of immortality is the boredom of having nothing to do.
Hekapoo: I'm SO bored!
Hekapoo was in her office in the castle and she already finished with all the paperwork and the reports that she had to deal with an hour ago. Although things were about to become very interesting for her. A messenger got inside Hekapoo's office with a scroll on his hand.
Messenger: I come to deliver an important message for Hekapoo.
Hekapoo: Who sent the message?
Messenger: The son of the great sorcerer Adam.
Hekapoo(mind): (y/n)? Haven't heard anything from him in a while.
The messenger left the office and Hekapoo unrolled the scroll with (y/n)'s message.
Dear Hekapoo:
I hope that this messenger didn't get lost or he/she just simply discarded the message like the others. If you received my message, I need to talk to you. But first of all, I would like to congratulate you for recovering the dimensional scissors that were stolen a few weeks ago. I know how it feels that others don't appreciate your work and that's why I sent you some cookies as a gift along with the message... Hoping that the messenger didn't ate the cookies on the way.
Hekapoo: That messager is a jerk! But still, awwwww!
Hekapoo continued to read (y/n)'s message on the scroll.
But back to the subject, do you remember the blue plans that I was carrying the time we met? A short time ago I finished building my project and I need to show it to the queen. I know you are a very busy person but I really need help with this. If you can't lend me a hand, then don't worry, I'll think on something else later. I hope I haven't taken too much of your time and I wish you the best. My best wishes, (y/n).
Hekapoo looked at the scroll and then at her office. She was thinking for a few minutes if she should go or not. On the one hand, she already finished with her work for today. But on the other hand, some emergency could arise and maybe they might need the her help.
Hekapoo: Screw it! Is my free time!
Hekapoo took out her dimensional scissors and made a hole in the air that would take her to the outskirts of mewni. But before leaving, Hekapoo left a clone of herself in her office just in case something comes up. Hekapoo jumped inside the portal and she appeared in the outskirts of mewni. Hekapoo started to walk in search of (y/n)'s house and after a few minutes, she finally found the home of the famous scientist.

Hekapoo: That's it? I thought (y/n)'s house would be more bigger.
Hekapoo went to the door and gently knock it twice. But to Hekapoo's surprise, there was an explosion inside (y/n)'s house and some cracks with the figure of a person appeared on the wall of the entrance. After a few seconds, (y/n) opened the door of his house. He was wearing his scientist's uniform and his entire body was covered in ashes by the explosion.
(your uniform)

(y/n) removed his goggles from his face, leaving a clean stain on his face in the shape of the goggles.
(y/n): Hi Hekapoo! How have you been?
Hekapoo: Dude, what happened there?
(y/n): The answer to that is very fascinating. But to summarize the story, I was working with a potion and when you knocked the door, you accidentally made me add an ingredient in the wrong proportion. The mixture reacted unstably and exploded in my face.
Hekapoo: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!
(y/n): Don't worry about it, This happens to me all the time! Anyway, why did you come here? Do you need help with something?
Hekapoo: I came here because you sent me a message, don't you remember?
(y/n) slapped his own face when he realized that he completely forgot about such an important detail.
(y/n): I completly forgot about it! You'll have to forgive me, I spend a lot of time in the laboratory... Did you get the cookies?
Hekapoo: Nope! The messenger ate them!
(y/n): Damn it! *Sigh* The mewni courier service is the worst thing in the world.
Hekapoo: Tell me about it! Every time I need to send a message locally, the message gets lost or never reaches its destination!
(y/n): And every time you send a package...
Hekapoo/(y/n): The package gets stolen!
Hekapoo and (y/n) started laughing at the same time. Both understood how it feels that the whole world causes you problems and no one cares what happens to you. They both stopped laughing while catching their breath and wiping tears from their eyes.
Hekapoo: You are very funny.
This compliment caused (y/n)'s face to blush completely. It was thanks to the ashes on his face that Hekapoo could not see (y/n)'s red cheeks.
(y/n): T-Thanks!
Hekapoo: Tell me, with what do you need my help?
(y/n): R-Right! Come inside and I'll show you my project!
Hekapoo went inside (y/n)'s house and she was surprised to see that the interior of his house was filled with all kinds of books, alchemy instruments, and even jars with parts of strange creatures inside. The entire room was covered in ashes by the previous explosion. There were even silhouettes of (y/n)'s body in some parts of the ceiling and the walls.

Hekapoo: How many times did you blew up this place?
(y/n): With time I started losing the count of it, why do you think I live outside of the city?
Hekapoo started inspecting (y/n)'s house a little while he was cleaning the ashes from his face. Hekapoo looked at the multiple alchemical instruments and the strange tools that were scattered throughout the house. She also looked curiously at the jars with the parts of strange creatures. But Hekapoo took some steps back with fear when one of the weird things inside the jars was also staring at her.
Hekapoo: Is that thing normal?
(y/n): Huh? The spider cat zombie eye? Don't worry about it, those things follow you with their eyes even after death.
Hekapoo: Hmmm... How long did you say you spend in the lab?
(y/n): Much more than what I would like. But as I said before, work is work! Anyway, my project is in the basement.
(This sounds like you're about to commit a homicide xD)
Hekapoo followed (y/n) to the basement. Once there, Hekapoo was surprised to see that the basement, like the dining room in (y/n)'s house, was full of all kinds of machinery.

But there was a table almost in the center of the basement that was covered with a white blanket.
(y/n): Hekapoo, the most awesome member of the magical high commission, let me show you...
(y/n) removed the white blanket from that table, revealing a metal pushcart that had a mechanical arm on it.
(This mechanical arms)

(y/n): The mechanical historian!
(y/n) stayed posing next to his creation, but seeing the lack of reaction from Hekapoo made (y/n) starting to rub the back of his head in embarrassment.
(y/n): The name sucks, I know!
Hekapoo: Is not that. Is just... That is another mechanical arm, in what way is it different from the others that you showed me the other time?
(y/n): The big difference between this mechanical arm and the others is that this one was created to write the events of Mewni's story.
Hekapoo: What?! Can it really do that?!
(y/n): Normally a device like this could not perform such a task. But if we combine the power of magic and science, anything is possible to do!
Hekapoo: I'm a little confused about this. If you can create a machine like this, then why do you need my help?
(y/n): The thing is...
Hekapoo: (y/n), what's the problem?
(y/n): *Sigh* I need someone to help me get an audience with the queen.
Hekapoo: An audience? Couldn't you just ask Adam to help you with that?
(y/n): Sadly he doesn't want to help me with this.
Hekapoo: Why not?
(y/n): My father doesn't approve of my scientific work, he says it's dangerous and that I should follow his teachings on the path of magic. My father sometimes feels curious about my work, but refuses to help me.
(y/n) sat on a chair while pinching his forehead in frustration.
(y/n): The problem is that what I have in my house turned into the last resources that I have left. My investigations are severely delayed by the lack of resources and I can't continue working in this way. But if my project impresses the queen, if it really leaves her amazed, things could be better for me and my work.
(y/n) knelt in front of Hekapoo and he literally started to beg her to help him with this problem. Hekapoo put a hand on (y/n)'s shoulder and help him to get up from the floor.
Hekapoo: Dude, You don't need to kneel and beg, that makes me feel uncomfortable.
(y/n): Are you going to help me?
Hekapoo: Under one condition.
(y/n): What kind of condition?
Hekapoo: If the queen starts supporting your work, you will have to invent something that will help me make my job easier. I would like some vacations.
(y/n) was so happy that he literally hugged Hekapoo and lifted her off the ground, laying his face on her cheek.
(y/n): Hekapoo, you are the best!
Once (y/n) realized what he was doing, he released Hekapoo and started to take the same color as the strawberries. Hekapoo was also a blushing a little, but (y/n) didn't notice it because he was trying not to make eye contact.
(y/n): Do you want to see the rest of my house?
Hekapoo: Y-Yeah, why not?
The first step to get to the top had started. But as the saying goes, everything that goes up... Has to come down!
AAANNNDDD DONE!!!
Today I have nothing interesting to say. Instead, I'm just going to leave you guys with a picture from my computer.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
