A time for each thing

Bothan was well aware that her twin Daji was facing complicated times. Not difficult, just complicated. The empress barely took time just for herself and to relax. She looks so tired.
Even now, Bothan thought it would be a good idea to take her to go shopping, but Daji was away, lost in some thoughts. As a result the blue vixen slapped her rear so Daji yelped.

- Bothan!! You stupid little...
- Come on, we're on vacations, you seem working even there!
- That's true... I...
- Whatever is in your mind, just focus on the shopping, alright?
- I can't! Many subjects are still on the edge and I...

The blue vixen slapped her rear again, making her twin to jump from the surprise

- Opening!
- ... I can't believe that I was surprised!
- Yeah, and that's exactly why you should take some holidays!
- Holidays? I have so much to do, I can't afford them! said the empress
- While I admit that you have an important role in our society, you're too full of yourself if you think the universe will crumble without you if you take just one week for yourself, to take care of Lisie or even I.
- Bothan, it's not just about the universe, I was thinking about one person who needs my help.
- Whoever is that person, you won't help that person if you don't help yourself first.
- Risea is about to break.
-Oh. That doe...

The blue vixen stopped for a moment, and frowned a bit, searching for a solution. ... And found none. Except one little thing. Maybe two

- You know, She's a deer, and they are known to be invincible. Proud bouncing warrior of the road, made of steel and such and...
- You silly... Risea was probably made of titanium, but a flaw was exploited and her wings are now broken. I can't afford myself to lose her.
- Daji, she may be down for the moment, but there's a time for each thing.
- A time for each thing?
- Yes.

Bothan cleared her voice, and started to sing :

There's a time for us to let go
There's a time for holding on
A time to speak, a time to listen
There's a time for us to grow

There's a time for laying low down
There's a time for getting high
A time for peace, a time for fighting
A time to live, a time to die

Getting even more in the mood, Bothan summoned small crystal wings in her dance

A time to scream, a time for silence
A time for truth against the lies
A time for faith, a time for science
There's a time for us to shine

There is a time for make believing
There's a time to understand
A time for hurt, a time for healing
A time to run to make a stand

Oh, this is the time of our lives!

Daji was looking at the sky. Things couldn't be that simple. Bothan continued :

- Dear sister, she will be okay. Life hit her hard, but such is life. She's down, but she's alive. She will recover, and she will rise and shine. No doubt about it. She's a freaking doe, she's invincible. Just give her time.
- Sometime I swear that you may be right after all.
- 'May'? You know that I'm...

Daji pounced her in the river and smirked :

- Opening! There's a time to joke, there's a time to run for our life, isn't it?

Bothan barked her answer :

- I'M SO GONNA KILL YOU!
- Bite me!
