Another dawn at the Maximal base raised, brighten it up in morning
colors. Cheetor woke up from his charging bed, ready for a new day. He walked
up to the restroom, knocking first to see if anyone
was inside.
"I just got in!.."
A rodent voice responded.
"Hurry up rat!"
Cheetor stood outside with his arms crossed.
"Dayya think ai'm not?"
""Gee, I wonder what takes him that long?..
must be those teeth!""
Cheetor chuckled as the thought crossed his HDD.
"Dad! Dad!.."
Some voice over the hallway yelled.
Cheetor turned at it quickly and found a young cub running at him. His face mold a smile and kneeled ready to welcome it.
"Hey!, G'morning!"
It jumped towards him from a distance and Cheetor opened in arms wide
open. For a start, he remembered the first time he ever hugged the cub.
=F=
"Take that Megasucker!"
Cheetor blasted his gun at Megatron as he
seemed competent to block and counterattack Optimus'.
The blasts hit the rex bot, throwing him flat to the
ground.
"Hahah!.. gotcha!"
Cheetor unattend his guards and unaware of Quickstrike's proximity.
"Cheetor!, watch at your left!"
A female voice alerted him from behind.
Cheetor turned as fast as he could, but slowing down as the shiny cannon
barrel showed infront of his face.
"I don't think ya want to do that.."
"Hah.. an' why w'uld that be?"
"Uh.."
Cheetor turned his head up to the sky.. maybe he would distract him that way.
Quickstrike's optics went up to see, but he
noticed some movement as he did.
Cheetor finding an opportunity, tried to hit QS' weapon, but he failed,
as QS descipher it first.
"Holy cybertronians.."
Cheetor exclaimed.
"Bad kitty.. now i'll hafta punish ya"
QS waved his finger at him.
All of a sudden, a cub came out from the bushes, wanting to ran over QS,
but it's attemp was useless
as it was smaller than him, and bounced back, rubbing its head.
"Ow.. that hurts.."
Both bots glanced at it, QS did with his
weapon, aiming at it.
"Now ya li'l
flea.. i'll
crush ya!"
He totally forgot about Cheetor.. big mistake
"Mwahahah.."
Cheetor, finding the perfect opportunity, moved on to him grabbing his
arms and locking him.
"Run, little one, run!"
"O-okayy.."
The cub, frightened, ran towards the bushes, finding there, safety at
the time.
Teegra came up to help. The peach-colored tigress with a tomboyish
attitude decided it was about time to give some help to her partners. She took
out both of her blasters.
"See yu in the pit, sucker!"
She shot a couple of times, non-stopping, creating great damage on QS'
armor. She was still anxious for more, but just then, Cheetor moved QS' body
away from her aim.
"I think he's already offline, Teegra"
She got a glare on him, putting the guns down.
"Ahlright.."
She turned to look at a shaky bush on a side, below it, there was the
cub.
"Heyyy.."
Her face changed completely, grinning and picking up the cub up to optic
altitude.
"Cyooote!"
The little cub kept shaking on her arms, but as Teegra held it close to
her, it began to calm down.
"It's alright, yu dun haf
to be afraid any more"
The cub opened it's eyes and saw the deep caring
bot holding it. A sound of steps crushing the leafs on the ground got their attention. A yellowish cat
came in.
"Finally Megs squad retreated.."
"Hey Cheets, c'mere!"
"Wha is it, Teegra?"
"Look! Tha cub is like yu wen in beast mode"
"Really?..cool!"
Cheetor made his way up to them and took a look at the cub.
"Hey little one"
The scarish cub got a bit exited as it saw
someone look a like.
"H-hi"
"Is it a guy?"
Cheetor commented on the undesciphrable tone
of voice.
"Ar' yu outta yur mind?..
it must be a grrl!.. it saved yu, must be a grrl"
"Ye right.. like
if that'd make any sense"
Cheetor's narrowed optics, stared at her.
Both Cheetor and Teegra got a closer look to see who was right.
"Uh.. what are
you two looking for?"
The cub asked.
Teegra blushed deep red and Cheetor turned at
one side coughing.
"Uhm.."
Cheetor didn't know what to answer, and Teegra was still embarrased.
"..I'm a girl if that's what you were looking for"
"Ha!.. told yu!"
Teegra blew raspberry over at Cheetor.
"I never said she was a guy!.. was just askin'!"
"Excuses!"
"It ain't an excuse!"
The cub was having fun, while she watched at them, discussing.
"You two make a great couple"
She chuckled.
"Nah!"
Both bots replied, shaking their heads.
"Never.."
Cheetor said.
"..impossible!"
Teegra added.
"Why not?"
The curious cub asked.
"Well.."
Teegra glanced up at Cheetor, looking for an answer. He did the same.
"'Coz.. we.. aren't of the same species!"
Cheetor came up with that clever yet stupid remark.
"Y-yea!"
Teegra supported him.
The little cub just narrowed her eyes at them
"Riiight.."
"So.. wha's your name?"
The cub bowed her head.
"I-i don't know"
"Yu dunno?"
"No.."
"How come?"
"I wasn't given any.. my..
mom.. she.."
"Rests now?"
Teegra tried to complete her, but the cub shook her head in
disagreement.
"No.. i.. got lost while i ran
out to look one of my bothers"
She sighed, sadly.
"..and since then i've
been looking for my family.. there was this day
though, but.."
"But?"
"..but"
The cub was almost breaking into tears.
"I found them after some rainy days, but they didn't seem to
recognize me. I think it was because of the smell, but i'm
so sure they were my family"
"So ya kept looking out.."
"Yes.."
She sighed again.
Teegra started to share her feeling of sadness as she heard the story.
"I'm so surry!"
"Ya can stay with us if ya want.."
Cheetor offered to the little homeless cat.
"Weally?.."
She sobbed, wiping her tears off.
"Yea!.. c'mon!"
Cheetor bent down for her to climb up.
She nodded, wiping again last tears and climbing on Cheetor's
back.
"Hey.. wha do ya think of Chara
for a name?"
Cheetor glanced at her.
The cub immediately smiled.
"I love it!"
"Glad ya did!"
Cheetor smiled back at her.
By the time Chara turned to see Teegra's
reaction, she was already transformed back into a tigress.
"Ack"
Chara gasped.
"Wat is it?"
Chara realized who the peachish tigress was.
"I-i'm afraid of other felines.."
She confessed.
"Yea.. and ya're scary too"
Cheetor tried to funny up the situation.
"Shut up, Spots!"
Teegra replied back in anger.
The little Chara started to laugh.
"Well.. ok, ya aren't scary, but then ya.."
Cheetor didn't know what to make up at the time.
"..have a pumpkin pie face?"
Chara whispered at his ear.
Just then, Cheetor's face turned into an evilish smile.
"..have a pumpkin pie face!"
"Shut up!"
Teegra almost yelled out, someway mad, but she knew they two were just
messing around and soon brought a smile to her face.
Chara, amused, was rolling on Cheetor's back
laughing at Teegra's face.
Cheetor was the one who enjoyed this the most as he finally found
something to annoy Teegra with.
And so, the trio, walked off back to base.. in that purplish evening.
