A Day In the Life of: Grimlock and Swoop
The lights were dim in the secluded gathering spot. The two allies, born of metal and might, sat opposite of each other with stern looks on their faces. Rarely had such tension been felt during a supposed cease-fire. Finally the eerie silence was broken by one of the participants. "Me, Swoop, say you making big mistake."
"Bah," growled Grimlock. "Just answer the question, and nobody get hurt!"
"Why you, Grimlock, no believe me, Swoop? Me trying to help."
Grimlock looked his longtime comrade and close friend up and down. He studied his posture, the dimness in his optics, and detected a slight hint of apprehension in his tone. They were running out of time to finish what they started. Soon it would be discovered they were missing and the Autobots would search for them. Privacy was rare inside The Ark, especially for a Dinobot. "Me getting tired of you dragging feet! Me not want to strike you, buy you making it pretty hard."
"You no trust me, Swoop?"
Grimlock grunted. "No. You smarter than me, Grimlock, so me think you're lying."
"Hurt Swoop feelings."
"Answer the question!" Grimlock demanded. "Do you have any?"
Swoop relented. "No."
"No?" Grimlock was stunned. "What you mean, 'no'?"
"The answer to your question is no."
"No? You sure?" Grimlock asked somewhat puzzled.
"Me, Swoop, positive."
"Really?"
"Really," Swoop smiled like a young earthen child who had just fooled his much older brother. It was obvious to Grimlock that his fellow Dinobot was enjoying the moment, leaving him waiting for the two-word phrase he hated to hear. "Go fish."
The End.
This one was really short, but I was afraid if it went too long, it wouldn't play well. Next chapter will be somewhat longer and feature Wheeljack and The Twins... Thanks to everyone for giving this one a look at!
