Warning| Slight out of character oddities. No Romance.
Note| This is the first in a series of drabbles surrounding that little girl and Ironhide. I haven't seen anything about these two, which kind of disappointed me. I always figured that Autobot would hold something for the first humans they'd meet. I don't know. So I decided to do this. Let me know what you think, I suppose.
First Meeting
The landing didn't go according to plan. He wanted somewhere isolated, not some organic's backyard swimming pool. His processor was reeling as he reached out of the water and crushing the latter that trailed out of the pool. He ignored the crunch of metal and concrete under his massive size as he pulled himself from the water, droplets falling from his sleek form. Onlining his optic sensors, the weapon specialist was nearly startled by the sight before him.
A little blond girl clutching a pink stuffed pony. Her blue eyes stared up in wonder as he hovered over her tiny form. She seemed unfazed as he struggled to go around her, not wanting to cause this teeny human any harm. His foot crushed the ground as he advanced, only to notice (barely) that the child was running under his form, bright eyed and innocent. "Excuse me," she called out to him. "Are you the tooth fairy?"
Although surprised by this innocence, he could not stop and chat with the organic. He had to meet with the others, and was concerned if the child was going to follow. Just as he made it around the corner, he noted the girl had stopped and was staring towards the home. He heard a man's voice, on that did not seem pleased, and nearly turned back to protect the child. He took cover near a man-made vehicle and observed (one can never be too sure, he figured).
She scurried towards her home, the man grasping her and pulling her behind him. He knew that motion, he'd seen even his own kind do that to their young. It was clear that the child was safe and he needn't worry. He then scanned a nearby vehicle, the family's (even though he didn't know that), and took off to meet with the others. He wasted enough time, but something within him knew he would be back, he would see the youngster again.
