One cat loves him the other not so much

So I have had my Yoda for 2 weeks now, and he is awesome, such a different kind of cat. He quickly adjusted and now runs the house. I have a brother and sister who are 8 months old. Boots, the male, I thought would hate him and Fifi, the girl, would care for him like her baby. Well it is the total opposite. Boots plays with him and cuddles him and watches over him, which is so cute to see. Fifi could care less about him. She is very glued to me because I raised the two of them and she wants even more attention now, which I have been giving her. Every once in awhile I catch her playing with him, but more so she seems frightened of him and runs away from him and will leave the food bowl if he comes over. I made another feeding station so food is not an issue. I am guessing this is normal but do you think she will ever love him like Boots does? Yoda is too small to sleep in bed yet so Fifi sleeps on me right now and I hope that everyone can sleep together one day. Any thoughts of how to help them love each other more? I am actually happy that they all get along like they do.
BTW: these cats are just awesome. He finds me and loves to sleep on me, he is sleeping on me right now. He is so funny to watch playing and is the best pet ever

It took my furry cat a couple months to be totally warmed up to Nipsey. Now they cuddle and play. All you can do is give it time :) play with them all together and give them treats. So they associate good things with each other :)

Give it time, it sometimes takes months for them to settle into their new relationship. It sounds like it is going very well tho from what you have described.

I agree with Tina, all you can do is give it time and when it's playtime try to play games where they can interact and do it together.

I'd say two weeks is too early to tell. It took my boys about two months to really get along (though that was mostly due to the eldest that was already there as can be expected).
Be patient and reward good behaviour!
