The Little Orphan That Could
Chapter Three: Living With Giant Robots
So 'the boss' was apparently Optimus Prime who had briefed her on the situation. Apparently these Autobots and Decepticons were at war with each other for centuries now, and that war was brought to ear. The reason she was attacked was because Barricade, a Decepticon, picked up on her Allspark fragment. Apparently this 'Allspark fragment' was the weird rock she found not too long ago and proclaimed it her 'lucky' rock. Ironic. Her 'lucky' rock almost got her killed!
She carefully made her way back to the rec room, practically dying for food. Ashley sat alone at a table, slowly nibbling on the sandwich and chips she had received.
"Yo! Look at this piece right here!"
"Lookth like we got anotha' girl on the autoboth thide!"
"Excuse me?" she muttered, looking up from her sandwich at the two smaller green and red robots.
"The name is Skids!"
"I'm Mudflap!"
"Right. The green one is Skids and the one with the horrible lisp is Mudflap." she muttered, looking up at the two with an unamused expression.
"Oh she just told yo' ass!" Skids exclaimed.
"Aye yo' thut yo' mouth!" Mudflap said, then turned towards Ashley. "We helped thave the humanth tho you betta' be rethpecful!"
"Riiiiggght. What did you do? Turn into a coffee pot?" She retorted.
"Oh she just told yo' ass again, punk!" Skids said, on his back in laughter.
"I don't care if Ironass hath a thoft thide for thith thank, I'm bringing her down!"
She stood up from the table in an instant, "Did you just call me a skank?" She yelled, her emerald eyes narrowed to the most harsh glare she had ever given.
"If it Lookth like one, talkth like one, and acth like one, then it muth be one!"
Before she had a chance to pounce, a giant metallic hand was place in between them. Skids, who was still on the floor in laughter, suddenly shot up in shock. "O-Oh Heyyy there big man! What's up, Yo!" he stammered out, looking up at the tall robot known as Ratchet.
"You two idiots aren't bothering this organic, are you?" his voice boomed. "Especially not after she just woke up from an injured state of recharge."
"What us? Nah!"
"Yeah we wath juth welcoming her to the team!"
"I'm sure she feels welcomed enough." Ratchet said, and the twin robots nodded quickly and skidded off with hopes of not angering the medic. After they were gone, he looked down at the human who was starring up at him with green orbs. "I apologize for the twin's harsh words. They learned their language from a different database on the world wide web." he said, though she seemed to be ignoring his comments on the twins.
"When can I be released." she mumbled so softly that he had to strain his audio receptors.
"Well, Uh. We may release you when we fully remove the Allspark radiation from your body and you are healed."
"How long will that be?"
"About a month or so?"
There was then silence amongst the two. Ashely wasn't going to dare break it, and Ratchet was contemplating on whether or not he should. Finally, he did. "Are you sure you want to leave?" he asked.
"Are you giving me the option to stay? Do I have any place here?"
His optics widened, and his spark tingled. When he didn't answer, she scoffed and then backed away. "Didn't think so.." she whispered before walking off. "Once I'm healed I'll be out of your way big guy!" she called out, waving over her shoulder as she left the recreational room.
As she walked she found herself dodging more giant metal feet than dodging humans. Pfft, and people thought aliens were these crazy slimy green creatures with big heads. She stormed herself over to her designated 'chamber' but just before she could open the door she was swept off her feet. She was pulled off of the ground and pulled to a robotic chest. She first glanced down at how far up she was, and then looked up at the red metallic head.
"I like being on the ground you know?" she muttered.
"The twins were right. You are feisty." the voice was playful, fun, and coming from a robot. "The name is Sideswipe!"
"Ashley."
"I know."
"Doesn't everybody..."
He snorted in what appeared to be his attempts to hold in a laugh. "And Jazz was right! You're funny for a human!" he said, a smile blaring through his faceplate. He looked down at her with bright blue optics and suddenly she felt that warmth she felt whenever she was held by Jazz. That sudden pulsing sensation coming from his chest.
"What is that?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her as she gently put her hand on his chest plate.
"Y-You mean my spark?" he asked, looking down at the human curiously. "It's like my heart. It keeps me alive. It also let's me have a sparkmate and-"
"Sparkmate?" she interrupted him in a quiet voice.
"Yeah, a sparkmate!" He beamed. "I mean I don't have one, but I will someday!"
"What is a sparkmate?"
"It's someone who you have a Sparkbond with!" He said, still sensing her confusion so he decided to explain further. "See a Sparkbond is when a Mech and Femme have a strong spark between the two and-"
"Whoa! Okay there buddy!" she said, waving her hands in the air. There was no way she was going to have the sex talk with an alien robot. "Cool your vents there big guy I get where you're going!"
There was silence between the two. That seemed to happen a lot with her and the Autobots. "Hey Ashley?" He paused, waiting for her to look up at him and once she did he shuttered an optic in the form of a wink and smirked. "Want to be my Sparkmate?"
She couldn't believe this! This hunk of talking metal actually got her to blush. In fact, her whole body had raised in temperature. She always knew she wasn't ugly, but she never had guys lining up for her. And something about a giant alien robot asking you to...well...sparkbond with him was more than any guy that had ever asked her out. Wait a minute. How would that even work! He was...so big! And she was...so small! She couldn't believe she was even considering it! "L-Look Uh big guy. I'm not so sure that something like that would work. I mean how would we-"
"My Holoform!" he beamed, seeming to know where she was getting to.
"Your what?" Ashley asked.
"Sides would you back off the little lady!"
Ashley peeked out from the gaps in his fingers to see Jazz. Her rosy lips curved into a smile for the sudden relief she felt. "Jazz!" she exclaimed.
"Well hey there sweetspark." he said with a chuckle, holding his hand out for her. She gratefully slipped into it, and looked up at Sideswipe. "There will be no mating with the little one, got that. Besides, I wouldn't want the girl to be burdened with your stupidity." This got a giggle from the small human in his hand.
"I was only joking, Jazz!" Sideswipe said, laughing himself.
She didn't know why, but she was almost insulted that he just said it was a joke. What, was she not good enough for him or something! She huffed, her bangs fluttering in the process.
Living with these beings for even a month was going to be hard...
Me: And here lies the end of chapter three! Yes, i have decided to make Sideswipe red, as he is in the animated version. I just...i liked him red okay!
Sideswipe: You like me!
Me: Do not!
Sideswipe: You just said you liked me! IM TELLING OPTIMUS!
Me: NOOOOOOOOO!
Ashley: -.- This story is filled with idiots.
Ironhide: -grunts- you're in the story too.
Ashley: AND SO ARE YOU METAL BUTT!
