J: Yay for being horrible and starting another fanfiction I won't ever finish (most likely.) But due to my current obsession it had to be done, SORRY! I already got a pic out for advertising this, a pic which I am quite proud of...okay, half proud of lol. The truck I drew which is suppose to be Ironhide sucks monkey wrenches! As well I would love some tips from all you hardcore Transformer fans on how I can improve my Ironhide and such as I go along :3
Disclaimer: We all know I do not own these awesome people, but I do wish that I could meet Micheal Bay one day and ask that he adopt me, since it's the closest thing I'll get to owning some kind of connection to these awesome people/ transformers.
Ms. Babysitter VS Mr. Truck
Prologue
"I'm sorry, but I just can't! My psychiatrist says to avoid all and any contact with the cause of my paranoia, and that just happens to be your house entirely. Again, I'm sorry Mrs. Lennox." The phone line went dead, leaving Mrs. Lennox once more without a babysitter for their child.
Putting the phone back into it's cradle Sarah put her hands on her hips and called out," Will! We need to have a talk, NOW!"
William Lennox was down the stairs in a heart beat and in front of his very unhappy wife. "Something wrong sweetie?"
"Yes, something is very wrong. I just finished my phone call with Brittany and she just told me that due to psychiatric issues she can no longer babysit Annabelle. So tell me, are you going to talk to Ironhide, or am I going to have to?" The tone of her voice promised that the very large metal alien life form living in their garage would be left worse for ware if she went out there.
Hands up in surrender the military man beat a hasty retreat to the garage. The aforementioned alien life form was currently recharging in his alt mode after a tiring day of battle the day before. Standing right in front of the large black Top Kick pick up truck Will scratched the back of his head and asked awkwardly," Ironhide? You awake?"
"I was woken not but a moment ago by Sarah's demand."
"Yeeah. It turns out our babysitter quit...again. Something about psychiatric issues. You wouldn't happen to know anything about it would you?" Will raised an eyebrow at his long time guardian and friend.
There came a short silence that slowly made the Autobot Weapon's Specialist feel like a sparkling that had leaked lubricant where it should not have. Finally Ironhide let out a low grumble that sounded like," Not my fault the adolescent femme wasn't paying attention to the amount of animated programs Annabelle watched."
Will puckered his mouth in a scowl then huffed," Let me guess, as soon as she stopped paying attention to Annabelle you started flashing your headlights through the windows, calling her cell phone but saying nothing? No wonder she's going to a psychiatrist! I get that you're just trying to protect Annabelle, but Sarah needs to work and I have meetings to make sure we can keep working together in NEST. We would let you watch Annabelle but there's never a guarantee that an attack won't happen. You can't protect Annabelle and fight at the same time, and it's good for Annabelle to have an older female around that can act like an older sister for her. The next babysitter we hire needs to stay, so unless she doesn't get along with Annabelle I don't want you trying to spook her off, got it?"
A stream of warm air hissed out of Ironhide's grid plate, his voice gruff from annoyance Ironhide grumbled," Fine, I will not scare off the next femme you hire for Annabelle's care taker. But if any harm comes to Annabelle while under the femme's watch, you must replace her immediately. Is this acceptable?"
'How did I go from warning to negotiating?' Will thought this before suggesting," To be more specific, if Annabelle is harmed due to the fem-babysitter's carelessness, she will be given a warning then one more chance. However if an accident happens, which is very likely to happen with children no matter how careful you are with them, then she is to remain. Is that acceptable?"
Another hiss of steam and a bit of silence until Ironhide reluctantly replied," I will accept these conditions. But only because they are the best thing I will get in comparison to what Sarah would offer." Will couldn't hold off a smirk on that statement. Ironhide had learned from day one that Sarah Lennox was a non-negotiator in concerns of her baby girl.
"Thank you, I'm going to go try and get Sarah to agree with these terms. She won't be happy, so you might want to keep clear for a while. Oh, and Annabelle wants another story about Cybertron before bed. Remember, no really intense details or Sarah will keep the window closed for a month." The request/warning made Will gave Ironhide a light tap on his hood and went back inside.
Once the door closed Ironhide growled outloud to himself," Even if she closes the window I can always talk to Annabelle through the glass." Only their neighbours that lived 15 minutes down the road from them would hear him as well.
