Ft. Francisca and Flamberge. Please do not interpret this as Franberge.
Welcome back to my series of one-shots! This time, the main characters are Francisca and Flamberge. I decided to make the one-shot about autumn, as it's my favorite season. I hope you enjoy!
P.S. The Mages will be speaking Jambandran a lot here, so here's a guide if you want to know what they're saying: https://kirby.fandom.com/wiki/Jambastion_Religion#Language

Francisca always loved the winter, but Flamberge loved the summer.
It was hard to find an in-between where both could thrive. But luckily, autumn season had fallen on Pop Star- a season both hot and cold. That was when Flamberge and Francisca decided to take a trip there, to see what the autumn on Pop Star was like.
Flamberge was packing all the things she needed for her trip to Pop Star (the adopted siblings + Hyness lived inside Jambandra Base). However, Francisca noticed how many things her energetic and short-tempered was packing. "Bergey?" Francisca asked, getting Flamberge's attention.
"Don't you think that's a bit too much?"
"Oh, come on, Franny." Flamberge scoffed. "If it fits, then I'm packing it!" Francisca shook her head. "It's only a one-day visit, Bergey. You're acting as jif it's going to be the whole week." Flamberge ignored Francisca and continued packing. "... That konjy woman..." Francisca muttered, so low under her breath she herself could barely hear it.
Eventually, they had finally packed all their things (Flamberge could barely carry her belongings, in which she finally took Francisca's advice and took some things out) for the trip. "You'll be back jonto, jes?" Zan Partizanne, the eldest of the adopted siblings asked. At both of their nod, Zan waved goodbye. "Well, enjoy your trip. Jambuhbye..." She said, trying to hide any sense of loneliness she had then. Hyness waved goodbye as well, but by then the duo were already off to Pop Star.

"Goppoko-! Jaway how nice this place is..."
"Jes, makes me jorrow about the fact that we'll be leaving jonto!"
Francisca and Flamberge had finally arrived on Pop Star, which was undergoing it's autumn season. The once green trees were now warm colors like red and orange. It was chilly, and yet the sun was as hot as ever- it was a confusing mess of feelings that neither could really describe.
"Bergey! Look at the jawaii animals!" Francisca called, pointing at two cats playing with the leaves. Flamberge wasn't very focused on the animals however- she wanted to play with the leaves too.
So, when she threw a pile of leaves on her blue-haired sibling, it didn't end well.
"That's not vun funny, Bergey..."
"Juh? Hey, stop being so serious, Franny! This trip is supposed to be fun, jes?"
"Jes, but-"
"Then lighten up a little!"
"... Jamblasted..."

Francisca and Flamberge spent the rest of their day exploring the beautiful haven that was Pop Star. Flamberge managed to make Francisca annoyed more than once, but other than that, it was a fun trip.
Soon, night fell, and they were getting ready to go back to Jambandra Base.
Francisca was re-packing her things when she noticed Flamberge looking at the sky, her purple eyes shining.
"What are you looking at, Bergey? We're supposed to be packing."
"Look, Franny!" Was all Flamberge said before pointing at the sky. When Francisca looked up, she saw a million tiny, twinkling stars. The stars were pretty when seen from Jambandra Base, but to see it here on Pop Star was magnificent. Maybe it was because, compared to Jambandra Base, Pop Star was much more in-tune with nature? But whatever it was, it was beautiful.
"Goppoko... It's amazing." Francisca commented. "Jes, jes! Can I look at it a bit more? Pleeease?!" Flamberge beamed. At Francisca's nod, Flamberge continued star-gazing, and at one point Francisca joined in too.
A girl gentle and shy with powers of ice.
A girl energetic and expressive with powers of fire.
Complete opposites, yet their friendship is eternal.
