The dull chop of propellers slowly grew louder over the skies of the Yordle Academy of Science in Piltover. This at-first quiet hum soon grew to a dull roar as an object appeared in the skies: The distinctive silhouette of a Reconnaissance Operations Front-Line Copter. And there was only one Yordle who still flew one of those: Corki, the Daring Bombardier.
A sharp pop preceded a louder bang as a greyish trail of smoke started to stream from the Copter's tail-end. "Dad-Gum gremlins are at it again!" Corki shouted from above, desperately trying to get the copter safely landed on the Academy's lawn. Fortunately, the ace pilot had his fair share of scrapes before, and got the copter down with relative ease.
"Eheh, Sin-Lou, kid." Corki Apologized to the once-studying student he had nearly crashed into. "You think you can grab the Big Brass 'round here? And maybe a Can Bird if you can spare one."
The student, still probably in a state of shock, looked at Corki as if he had grown a second head. That kid's a dag-gum Cherry if I've ever seen one. Corki shook his head. Don't they teach the new boots the lingo these days? Corki tried his request again. "Ah asked you ta turn-to and grab Heimerdinger! Ah need ta get my bird fixed!"
A spark of realization dawned over the student as he rushed off to grab Heimerdinger, leaving Corki relatively alone and to his own devices. "I hope you don't go all FM on me again..." the bombardier mused as he lovingly patted the side of his trusty R.O.F.L. Copter. "If I wanna keep my STRAC reputation I'll need you ta be up-to-snuff, 24/7. Can't fly with these Dol-Gurn Gremlins buggin me ev'ry time we lift off, and no Snipe worth his salt is gonna fix what ain't broken." He chuckled to himself as he awaited Heimgerdinger's arrival.

((Sorry for the delayed and short post, busy day.))
A few minutes later, a different Yordle appeared out in front of the Academy. It was none other than the Revered Inventor himself, wearing his usual lab-coat attire, his wrenches he normally held in his hands attached to his utility belt. Striding (or waddling, however you perceived his walking style) over to the Bombardier, a smile on his face as he saw his old friend again.
"Well, oh my, if it isn't the Daring Bombardier himself," he stated. "It's been some time since I last saw you, Corki... but I suppose your Reconnaissance Operations Front-line Copter is in needs of repairs?" He then asked, noticing the condition of Corki's air vehicle; indeed, there were several parts within the machine that would need to be replaced or repaired...
Corki turned to see his old friend, Heimerdinger, when the inventor spoke up. Smiling brightly, Corki closed the distance between them and reached to firmly shake Heimerdinger's hand. "I've been busy buzzin' round the Bush and caught a nasty case of gremlins." He admitted. "She's seen better days, and I'd figured you'd have a Can Bird around 'ere....Besides, why'd I miss a chance to pass by the best Seabee this side of Bandle?" Corki chuckled as he turned back to his copter, an frowned slightly at her unfortunate condition. "Whaddya say we grab some cupcakes and whiskey once we're done bringin' 'er back up to snuff?"

Heimerdinger warmly returned the hand shake, and then listened and nodded to Corki's response; all the while, he was taking a quick mental note of the obvious repairs the 'ROFL'-Copter would need, and continued to do so when he gave his response.
"Hmmmm, I see... well yes, it is definitely in need of repairs, but doesn't seem to be anything I can't fix... and 'best Seabee?' You flatter me too much, good sir..." he replied, giving a chuckle himself. "As to your offer, I have the time today, so most certainly, my dear friend... I know that Caitlyn's cupcake producing skills have become superb as of late, so I must at least have you try a taste!"
Corki waved his hand in dismissal. "You know just as well as I do that I don't eat the cheese. You're the best mechanic I know, an' there's no one I'd trust with my bird more than you. I know you'll fix 'er up right." Corki smiled.
He raised an eyebrow at Heimerdinger's next comment. "Cait makes cupcakes? And they ain't in bear traps? Sign me up! If she's half the Spoon you're sayin' she is, then we're in for a good time."

Heimerdinger could only chuckle at Corki's response, smiling back; while he didn't always approve of his language, he knew Corki was a fine man when he needed to be so.
"Oh, don't worry, fixing up your aerial copter will be no trouble at all..."
"...and I knew you'd agree to it," he then replied to Corki's response to his second statement; the way his eyes seemingly lit up upon hearing of the food made him laugh quite a bit.
"Well, I suppose you aren't in a rush to get your copter fixed today? Not that I'm going to be taking my time on it... but in the meantime, we should at least go for the cupcakes, no?" Heimerdinger then suggested.
Corki pondered Heimerdinger's offer, glancing forlornly towards his copter for a moment...Before turning back towards his comrade with a wide grin beneath his moustache. "Cupcakes it is! I'll grab the whiskey."
Croki trotted back to his copter and reached underneath the pilot's chair, producing a bottle of Noxian Whiskey. "Noxians are a bunch of zipperheads, but they sure make good whiskey!" He chuckled. "So, where's that Caitlyn keep her cupcakes?"

Heimerdinger chuckled when he saw Corki pull out the Whiskey; while it wasn't common knowledge just yet, Heimerdinger himself was always a bit fond of such alcohol himself. It was more of keeping up a good image for representing the intellectual circles across Valoran.
"Well, I personally haven't been to Noxus myself, but it seems they might have some good things going for them," he replied with a chuckle. "As to the cupcakes... Caitlyn usually makes them when they're off duty, and it just so happens to be past her duty time, so I think a trip to the police station would not be out of the question if one were to find the Sheriff," he then said, checking his watch. "So, shall we go now?" he ended with a smile on his face, motioning in the direction of the Police Station.
"10-4, good buddy!" Corki replied, carrying the comparatively oversized bottle of whiskey in the crook of his arm as he walked the Piltish streets with Heimerdinger, thoughts of good time and cupcakes dashing through his mind as they strode (Or waddled, depending upon your perspective.) towards Piltover's police station, where Caitlyn was hopefully preparing these delicious cupcakes that Heimerdinger had advertised.

Heimerdinger nodded back, smiling, and as the two walked, Heimerdinger began reminiscing about the younger times, back when they were merely children back in Bandle City, including some of the more interesting stories even Corki didn't know before (Corki was his best friend back in Bandle - still was, but point made - so if anyone would know Heimerdinger, it was him), the choicer tales being the accidental chemical explosion involving an excessive amount of sulfates and a 3-hour argument over his proof against the council for his Mathematics Doctorate.
A few minutes later, they were outside the Police Station, and Heimerdinger motioned Corki to wait.
"I'll go fetch Caitlyn, you can wait here while I do so," he told Corki, before walking (or waddling) inside the place.
Inside, he went to the front desk, hopping up on the Yordle stand, and asked if Caitlyn was available.
