Gray loves the whole world or at least most of it.- I remember seeing the Discovery Channel promotion commercial for the first time years ago and thinking how catchy it was. The astronauts, the scientists, and everyone else singing about what made the world awesome to them, it just made me feel so good to hear it, a smile would be across my face. But it wasn't till I got into transformers that I started hunting the jingle down on YouTube. Like the dedicated fan that I was I attended to see all the recent commercials that had any transformers promotions or attachments, so basically almost every fast food commercial and movie advertisements I could find on the net. For those who don't know how this relates in the second version of the songs the Autobot leader Optimus Prime sings in the chorus of I love the whole world.
About a week ago I was really down in the gloom so I uploaded this discovery promotion on my laptop and watched it a few times to bring my mood and after watching the second version that had Optimus singing in it this idea for a fanfic came to mind and now I'm uploading the first chapter to it on FFnation.
The first chapter is for the Rescue Bots but if everything goes well I plan on adding three more chapters alongside this one with each one focusing on a different TF universe. The other three I will eventually write about our Prime, Animated, and IDW but until then I hope you find this one funny, cute, and inspiring.

I Love the Whole World
They both had wanted some peace and quiet, just a little time away from the firehouse. So Blades and Boulder had quietly excused themselves from their human and Autobot friends and had token one of the underground tunnels to get out for a breath of fresh air. The orbital cycle had been a whirlwind of emergency calls, texts, and one flag down, that every rescue bot and worker had tried to accommodate for with patients, honor, compassion, and sensitivity.
But upholding all four especially on those days of difficulty can be rather hard. And every person in the team could feel the strain and pull of stress on their nerves. So when the day was finally done and everybody went to do what they did to unwind the two gentlest of the giants decided to go take a walk and stroll off their anxieties. Choosing the path most traveled out of favoritism by the two, the bots traveled silently enjoying the quiet they had so little of that entire day.
Soon the hard ground they each dropping their pads on shifted into sand as the pair exited the tunnels on a peacefully secluded beach. This side of the island was mostly unused. No wooden docks gray and creaky from years of feet and elements. No box shaped concession stands waiting for visitors, just sand and ocean for as far as they could see. Walking closer to the water the pair found a comfortable place to stop only a few yards away from the clapping sea. Taking a sandbar as a seat Blades sat on the beach with one leg laid out straight and the other pulled up till the knee strut bent and the heel of his pad touched his thigh with his left arm resting on his knee.
Boulder on the other hand just stood peacefully with his arms laxed at his side. Both steered out over the jet colored ocean. Letting out a tense sigh into the salty breeze Boulder spoke softly. "Today was tough." Nodding his head in agreement Blades murmured in a knowing tone at his friend's words before speaking himself. "Yeah today was extra hard. But that's O.K. We didn't have to do it alone and we got all the work done."
Suddenly the dark clouds in the sky thinned and shining low just above the horizon was the full Moon. The two bots looked at it in wonder. The Moon was pale tonight or rather the shade of ivory tower soft powdered snow, it also had a bright translucent halo wrapped around its curves getting it a heavenly like presence to it. Boulder smiled to himself and thought of his fondness for the earth's Moon.
The moons of his home world Cybertron had always been pretty as they hung in there orbit. But the Moon of earth was different, it always seem to be full of surprises. In a single lunar cycle the Moon of this planet the Autobots inhabited now could change color and phases from night to night, making each side of it different. He also loved all the diverse knowledge there was to know, it seemed like every culture on this world all had their own stories, names, and beliefs about the moon.
That thought left Boulder feeling charmed and comforted knowing that despite the huge gaps in people there still could be one think that could be the same. Looking at his friend for a brief moment the green autobot cheerfully spoke. "Did you know and Graham told me this one that there's said to be a man on the Moon." Nodding his helm slightly in Boulder's direction Blades smiled warmly and replied to his friend with a bit of knowledge he knew. "Yes. Dani told me to, but she also told me that on nights when the Moon is it like it is now fill and pale and surrounded by a circle of light that the lady of the Moon the man of the moon's wife is powdering her face and that's why the Moon come so close to the surface of the ocean so she can watch yourself in the placid reflection of the water as she's putting on her makeup."
Boulder grinned big and both bots turned back to look at the scenery. Inhaling softly Boulder said his next words with content in his voice. "This world is just amazing." The helicopter felt his fondness for their new home in continued where his friend had left off. "It is isn't, kinda makes you want to break into a song?" both bots looked at each other and grinned. With each of the two taking turns to sing the lyrics and the pair singing the chorus together Boulder started first.
I love the mountains.
I love the Moon at night.
I love shriek parades.
I love morning dew.
I love the whole world.
And all its sights and sounds.
Boom-de-yah-da, boom-de-yah-da.
I love the oceans.
I love chocolate snickerdoodles.
I love cats and dogs.
I love papery.
I love the whole world.
And all its craziness.
Boom-de-yah-da ,boom-de-yah-da.
I love snowballs.
I love morning mist.
I love human people.
I love all of this.
I love the whole world.
It's such a brilliant place.
Boom-de-ah-de, boom-de-ah-de.
After Blades and Boulder had finished their song Boulder stared up at the Moon and said. "I think this world is just amazing."
