Here's to guest # 1. I haven't had this fic up for 24 hours and there's already 4 reviews! Jack's eyes are brown in the fan art, and the cartoon they are kinda dark globes of a hue I can't figure out. I've figured out a situation to make jack want his eye color changed.
Bells and eyes
Skyquake and Dreadwing were sitting in the rec room, watching some kind of cybertronian show on the giant holo-screen. Jack lazed in Skyquake's lap, letting a finger rub his shoulders.
Jack could not understand the cybertronian language being spoken, but by the way the two brothers laughed now and again, he knew that this was a comedy. A winged organic snake the size of the lead cybertronian's arm came into the shot and slithered up onto a table. It's stunning green eyes had the human viewer memorized.
The show lasted for an hour and the brothers began to talk about pets. Jack listened as they spoke of the winged creatures from zedafir, the furry bugs of alwaxia, and eventually they even brought up him.
"You know dreadwing, for such a cute little human, Jack has one the most boring optic colors I've ever seen." Skyquake had ever so casually said in their banter on pets. If he was being brought up in this conversation, is he really the pet that knockout claims him to be? Is skyquake not his friend as he seems to be in private, but really his master? But still, whatever skyquake was- Jack loved him as a friend. Maybe more.. He felt the need to please him. Perhaps knockout can give him colored contact lenses. He shook his head to try to clear his mind, only to hear the annoying tinkle of the bell. Oh, how that dreadfully merry sound followed him wherever he went. Quickly, he thought of an excuse to leave.
"Master Skyquake, may I be excused to go for a walk?" Jack asked
"Of course little one, where are you thinking of going?" was the too casual response as the mech set the human on the floor before getting up himself.
Jack hated himself for his stupidity. How could he not have predicted the mech going with him?
"I was hoping to speak to a mech about a surprise for you..." Jack said, the excuse being the first one to come to him.
"Oh, and who would that be?" Skyquake asked, a smile dancing at his lips.
"If I told you, what would the surprise in that be?" Jack said.
"Then run along little one." Skyquake smiled as he spoke those words.
Jack went into the hall. He walked to Med Bay and poked his head in the door, glad to see knockout and breakdown were relaxing. Breakdown was helping Knockout polish his armor.
"Jack, so glad you could drop by for a visit." Knockout had said in that deep evil purr of his.
"I... I came to ask your assistance in surprising Skyquake."
"You've manage to come all the way down to med bay without being squished, isn't that surprise enough?" Breakdown had bantered back.
"Not quite that kind of surprise... He finds my eyes to be boring."
"Your coming to us for a pair of contact lenses or something? Why did you pick me, of all the mechs on the nemesis?" Knockout purred out, a knowing smirk blatantly on his face.
"Soundwave would tattle or just ignore me, Dreadwing is stuck to his brother like glue, and if i came to anybody else on the ship either what little of a plan I have would be destroyed completely or there'd be bloodshed."
"Breakdown, stop polishing me for a moment and go to the third drawer on my tool chest. Take out the grooming kit and take the tiny green box out with the set of tweezers in the kit." Knockout ordered.
Breakdown had the little box in Knockout's claws in moments.
"Skyquake isn't the only one to find your optic color boring. I have made up some contact lenses for your next grooming visit, but you might as well put them on now." The medic said kneeling and holding out the box.
Jack's bell tinkled all the way to the medic. He took the box and turned away before putting the little lenses on his eyes, grateful for the tiny mirror in the lid. He now had green eyes! Perhaps skyquake would appreciate this.
"Thank you knockout." Jack said before walking halfway out med bay. He paused as an idea to temporarily stop the jingling hit him. This required immediate testing before he had the chance to forget this. He held the bell still with one hand and took a step. Silence. It would work! He held the bell still and continued to slowly walk. After only five measly steps a single pit spawn chime was let loose. He frowned and let go of the bell, walking out of med bay at a casual pace as he heard the laughter behind him.
As he went towards Skyquake's room, disaster struck.
The fragging bow got caught on the edge of a vent. Pull and finagle as he may, the human could not escape. The sound of the bell was sporadic as he tugged in every way he could imagine. Finally, help came.
The elite seekers surrounded around him, leaving him with the feeling of a mouse in a trap. Jack began to shake as they whirred and clicked in cybertronian, one finally diving his giant hand into the circle to wrap the digits around Jack.
He saw the red ray of light pass over him as he was scanned. More clicking. Then finally they cut the bow.
Okay Reviewers, Your still in control! Remember, this could be turned into a series of drabbles or just one connecting story. You decide.
