I promise the other Autobots will show up in the next chapter, it's going to be great. And sorry this chapter is shorter then the others.
Ratchet may have been walking slowly but his steps were huge. Luke had to scurry back down the stairs and run to catch up to Ratchet. Even when Luke had caught up he still had to do an awkward pace between fast walking and a light jog.
"Do you know what's in my room? I didn't really get the chance to pack a bag". Not missing a beat Ratchet replied.
"I thought the deal was that you were going to leave me alone".
"You haven't shown me my room yet, so I think I'm just going to keep asking you questions". Luke's tone was very upbeat. This caused Ratchet to quietly mumble "why me". Luke smiled and quickly hope in front of Ratchet Now waking backward so he could face him.
"First question. You said the other Autobots were on other parts of the planet. Did they all drive? Do you guy have like a giant plane to drop you off places"? Luke was having a hard time walking backward and keeping up with Ratchets pace but he was determined to continue facing Ratchet. His determination was his downfall, literally. Luke had been focusing on how Ratchets face plates were molding to show his disgruntled mood at being asked even more questions. This had cause Luke to forget to also watch his footing and he had tripped over his own feet. During Luke's fall, Ratchet had stopped walking. Luke feeling like quite the fool picked himself up. After dusting himself off he then Look up at ratchet and was about to try and convince Ratchet to answer one of his inquiry when Ratchet turned to his right and spoke first.
"This is your room, now will you PLEASE leave me alone"? Luke folded his arms and looked at the door. There was a large metal door big enough to let even Ratchet in and a smaller human size door next to it.
"Yeah, I'll leave you be. But will you let me know when Optimus Prime gets back"?
"Fine". Ratchet then swiftly turned around to walk back to the main room. Luke watched Ratchet go thinking about there interactions. Although it seemed like Ratchet didn't like Luke, he himself found Ratchets grittiness to be very entertaining.' Maybe this job won't be so bad' thought Luke.
Luke turned to the door and push a button on the wall beside the entrance to open it. Walking inside Luke's jaw dropped. The room was massive. It was obviously one of the rooms made for the Autobots size but had been slightly renovated for the use of Luke. Most of the room was empty, but there was a large platform and underneath the raised ground was another door. Luke went to open the door. Inside it looked like a small studio apartment with rust-colored walls. There was a queen size bed in the top left corner, a small kitchen to Luke's right and a love seat couch facing a TV mounted on the left wall. There was a door leading into a bathroom that was also connected to a walk-in closet. To Luke's surprise, the kitchen was fully stocked (with mostly Tv dinners) and the walk-in closet had many plain solid color shirts, jeans, a few jackets and 4 pairs of shoes.
Luke walked out of the apartment and over to the stair that we're on the right side of the wall. They lead up to the top of the platform. There was a simple office set up with a desk and a few file cabinet. Luke walked to the desk and sat down and placed the file he had been holding on top. The desk was facing the open room. Looking over the occupants of the desk he found a laptop and some sort of answering machine. As Luke was looking at the machine a red light lit up and suddenly Ratchets voice came out.
"If you're hearing this, Optimus is on his way to your room". Luke was startled, he stood up to head to the railing and waited. Luke wasn't sure what to expect.
Hoped you like it. I'm super excited for the next chapter, finally Luke's going to get his questions answered (kind of). And of course he gets to meet Optimus Prime!
