Well here it goes hope it works.
Warning OCC on Ironhide's character
The Shelby and the Saleen
Part 4: The Shelby and the Topkick
Ironhide was board and that usually means he tends to go into recharge.
The reason for his boredom was he was at the grocery store with Capt. Lennox and his family.
Will Lennox was short on many supplies that humans need to survive, as well as that of his animals.
And since Ironhide was board he tends to go into recharge.
While Ironhide was recharging a black Ford F-150 4x4 pickup truck pulled up to the store. Ironhide's scanners turned on automatically as a young man exited the vehicle and walked into the store.
Immediately the scanner picked up the tell tale signs of a Cybertronian right next to him. Even in recharge and out of habit Ironhide is always on alert. So when the alarm went off Ironhide out of reflex scanned for any signs of Decepticons but found none; not even an Autobot.
The Cybertronian must be a mistake from Mission City he was getting a bit of that lately. The last one was that X-box and soda machine that he had met a while ago; both of them in new homes and living happily.
In the meantime this one did not move. Ironhide opened his awareness to full as he tiredly woke from recharge and turned his scanners to the truck next to him.
The truck was black just like him as he was a GMC Topkick this one was a F-150 not that big compared to the Topkick. It was black with no signs of moving. Yet the signals were present and Ironhide examined this neutral. The same neutral did not move as he continued to look innocent.
"I know you can here me," he growled and the truck made a strange sound to acknowledge him.
"I will not speak to you in this public place, for now so meet me at the Lennox farm at sundown I am sure your GPS knows the way," said Ironhide and the truck next to him made another nose to say that he had been heard.
It was only a half an hour more of silence before William Lennox stepped out of the store with his wife and little Annabelle. As they entered the vehicle Michael stepped out of the store.
In his hand was several groceries and some other things he will need for the journey home.
As he entered Kitt the truck started up and pulled out of the parking lot in the opposite direction of the Topkick.
"Michael may I make a suggestion?" Kitt asked
"What is it Kitt because if it is because of my choice of food…" Mike implied
"It has nothing to do with your intake of nutrients. I just wanted to know if it were possible for me to go to the Lennox Farm at around Sundown?" Kitt asked
"Why is that?" asked Mike
"Simple a GMC Topkick asked me to go there at sundown," was the reply.
"Ok…" Mike said
"Is that a positive feedback or negative," Kitt suggested
"Negative," said Mike since he did not like the idea of Kitt going off by himself.
----LATER THAT DAY----
Without anyone knowing Kitt rolled out after disguising himself and making sure that the base was empty before hacking his way out of the headquarters.
When he arrived at the designated zone Kitt was met by the Topkick and since the road to the Lennox farm was dirt and gravel he had to revert to his 4x4 mode. Since he met the Topkick that way he remained that way till he finally met him at the farm.
When the turned into the home he was met by a man armed with a rather large gun and a rather large robot.
"Alright you transform now or I will be forced to use deadly force." Said the human and Kitt slowly backed up and reverted back to his original mode before transforming.
When he stood before both the Topkick and the human he looked rather embarrassed.
"I apologized if my acting at the store was rather rude on your part." Kitt said as he bowed low to show at least some sort of respect.
"Well you certainly are no Decepticon that is for sure," said the robot and the human put down his gun.
"I don't see him resembling and Autobot," replied the human.
"I am neither let me introduce myself I am the Knight Industries Three Thousand; but you can call me Kitt," replied the Shelby.
"So you are man made?" Lennox asked
"Yes I was designed by a man named Gaiman," said Kitt.
"Hey man sorry for accusing you names Ironhide," he said showing off his cannons.
"Clint Eastwood?" Kitt asked
"Yeah, you like Clint Eastwood?" Ironhide replied
"He is one of my favorite Western heroes," Kitt replied
Ironhide beamed at the thought of someone other then he and Lennox who likes westerns.
"Well in that case why don't you and I share some high grade and Lennox here share a beer while we watch a few movies. Which one is your favorite?" asked Ironhide
---A FEW HOURS LATER----
"You can't be serious?" said a staggering Lennox as he heard Kitt's story.
"Yep I have it all on tape too," said a drunken Kitt
"I wish I had that kind of BS on my boss can I watch it at least," said Ironhide
The room went dark again as Kitt activated his downloading system as they watched some interesting things about his boss. Laughing after drinking a few barrels of high grade and some beer all three men of the house laughed their heads off. Sarah, Lennox's wife was currently out of town with his child visiting relatives.
Kitt also showed them some other movies he downloaded including one of a boy who turns into a car if something of a certain temperature touches him; such as ice cream or hot fudge.
Drinking his own high grade Kitt was feeling rather good as the night wore on.
If this is what it means to be drunk then I must remember not to drink that much again, he thought.
The car itself stumbled out of the barn a few hours later laughing like an idiot as he transformed and drove like an idiot all the way home.
Ironhide and Will were both passed out on the hay of the barn unaware of the various pen/paint marks on their face made in pink. The horse manure smeared on them from their wrestling game or the smell of rotten eggs on the walls.
---THE NEXT MORNING---
"Hey Kitt," said Sarah as she walked up to the Shelby but got no response.
"Kitt?" she asked as she came closer.
Normally Kitt would have all systems operational by now and would be up as early as Sarah. But this time the Shelby did not even budge nor say his usual greeting. Instead the strange sounds of something coming from the car got her attention. Leaning in closer she could make out the sounds of someone snoring.
Surprised she opened the door to find no one there and the sound of Kitt snoring on the speakers.
Now that earned a surprise from Sarah as she leaned in and the smell that hit her nose was astronomical. Kitt reeked of something out of a swamp and the smell of alcohol was high in the air.
"Hey Sarah," said Mike as he and Sarah's father entered the room.
What hit there noses was not something anyone could have imagined.
"What the hell is that smell?" asked Mike
"Smells like alcohol," said Dr. Gaiman.
"I believe it is and guess who it is coming from?" Sarah said glaring at the Shelby.
Mike and Dr. Gaiman both leaned in and the sounds of snoring filled their ears.
"Is he snoring?" asked Mike
"Yes and it smells like he has been through a swamp or worse yet the garbage." Dr. Gaiman replied his face full of disgust.
It was then that the platform started to move and everyone moved out of the way as the Shelby continued to snore while the car was on its side.
It was also then when the rest of the staff walked in.
When the sight of the normally right side up car on its side and snoring with the smell of garbage and alcohol in the air they knew that something was up. As he walked up to the car the car rolled over again on its other side snoring.
It was ten that something fell out of Kitt's cab something shaped like a cube.
"Um I would not touch that," said Mike when Billy went to pick it up.
"Why?" asked Billy
"Because I recognize that cube as something the Cybertronians use to drink their fuel from," said Mike as he walked over to the key pad and dialed a number.
It was then that the face of the Medic Ratchet appeared.
"May I assist you with something Michael Knight?" he asked
"Yes, do you know the contents of this cube because it made Kitt in this state," he said and everyone moved out of the way.
It was something that was unexpected of the car.
"I believe my dear friend that Kitt had just consumed High Grade Energon which is our equivalent to whiskey as you can say," he said
Now everyone in the room was shocked even when said car turned over again on its hood. Luckily on his rotating pad the car is bolted down.
Now that Ratchet said that he also gave this advice, "I would let him sleep it off if I were you for there is no way to wake him until he does considering he is an earth made machine not a Cybertronian," he said
"Thanks Ratchet," said Mike as he cut the connection.
---FIVE HOURS LATER---
It was by then that said car began to come out of his stupor righting himself up he gave a groan of pain.
Mike smirked when he heard Kitt groan.
"Hey buddy how does it feel to get drunk?" he asked
"Go away Michael my processor hurts," complained the Shelby
"Well that is what you get from drinking last night eh," he teased the car giving it a pat.
"Don't do that please that hurts," Kitt complained.
"Well 'welcome to the world of hangovers' bud," Mike replied
