Yawn.
Mmm, consciousness. Where am I?
Lessee… pink ceiling, pink sheets, cream white walls, toys… oh yeah, this is my bedroom. Sun's coming in through the windows, rising in the east. Hey! Wasn't it noon when I decided to take a short nap? Wow, I must have been really out of it. I guess getting an upgrade and going on an Allspark induced rampage can really beat the stuffing out of a girl… bot… whatever I am.
What time is it? Clock says…
Yikes! It's been three days! Everyone must be worried about me or something. I better jump out of bed and…
Ow.
Ow. Ow. Ow.
Okay, I guess I'm really tired. I can barely stand up. Assuming I can pick myself off the floor. Thank Dad for nice, thick carpeting. Yetch. I think the vacuum bot hasn't been in here since before I went to sleep.
Okay, time to get up. Is everything smaller? Should my legs really be that long and… oh yeah, upgrade. Heh. Right then, up I go.
God, I reek. And morning breath is no picnic either. I'm part robot? Shouldn't I come with some self cleaning… function thingy? Whatever. First stop: bathroom. That bathroom which is across a freaking huge gap with no convenient furniture or wall to lean on.
Okay, Sari, it's not THAT far. It's what? Seven feet? I can make it! One step in front of the other…one BIG step with an oversized foot…
Aha! Made it! Bathroom! Sink! Water! Soap! Ah, that feels good. I should probably go for the full bath experience and… Hey, is that me in the mirror? Wow. Bumblebee was right. I do look different, more grown up, just like I always wanted. And my eyes are blue now.
Am I pretty?
Wait, wait, wait! Why do I care if I'm pretty? I'm a powerful Autobot! Or a bot anyway. Or part bot. Whatever. I need a shower.
Ooh… hot water and soap feel gooood. I don't remember showers feeling this good before. On the other hand, I've never felt so tired before either. Yeah, a shower was definitely a good idea. I can feel my energy coming back. And I feel something odd here and here. What's that? Never felt it before and if feels nice if I do this and oh, this, and
Oh. Oh. Oh.
Whoa. What the hell? Okay, that was weird, not bad, just… weird. Are robots supposed to feel things like that? It can't be a human thing. I know all about humans right? Maybe I'm defective. Figures.
Right then, that's enough showering for this girl-bot. I'll just towel myself off here and there and oh, oh…
Whoa. What's with me? I think I better get out of this bathroom while my sanity is still intact.
Argh. I'm still tired, but I don't want to go back to sleep. Seeing the guys right now feels like way too much trouble. Or seeing Dad for that matter. Or getting out of this bed…
When did I lay down again?
Never mind. Oh, remote! I'll watch some TV and see what's going on.
Wait, what? Autobot Elite Guard came visiting while I was out? And they left again? What? No! Get back here! Details! What are the details? I don't care about any oil crisis! Darnit, why can't it be like the movies where the heroine tunes in just in time to get the full story? Stupid news. What else is on?
Hmm, old sci fi movie about refugee human fleet being chased across the galaxy by killer robots. As if! Next channel!
Cartoon with little blue guys living in mushrooms. Kid's stuff. Booooring! Next channel!
Another Baywatch reboot? Didn't they just cancel the last one? Eh, nothing special here. Just a bunch of guys prancing around in nothing but speedos. Ick. Okay, I'll admit that these guys are pretty good looking. Nice hair. Nice tan. Nice muscles…
Uh….
Gosh, episode's already over? Where'd the time go… and why am I drooling on myself?
