On most days Sari sleeps in. Today wasn't one of those days. Sari had come running into the room at six am, scaring me and Claw half to death. "Rain! You need to get up; my dad rescheduled the announcement for nine!" I opened my eyes only to eye Sari and Claw. "Claw won't chase me out of the room." He probable wouldn't, but it was nice to think he might. I groaned as I got up, I might be the morning person back at home but I still thought six am is too early to get up at.
I walked over to my dresser and pulled out a nice pair of black pants, and a dark gray shirt. Sari giggled at my mood, before grabbing Claw and started to walk to the door. "I'll take Claw out, Bumblebee will be here soon to pick us up!" I paused, of course the only reason Sari would be up right now is if she was to hang out before the speech. Figures, what will we be doing for the next three hours? Sari exited the room, and I quickly got dressed before looking in the mirror.
Bright golden eyes stared back at me. Now your wondering golden eyes? Yep, golden my appearance changed to match the show among other things. I now have bright golden eyes. Remember my hair was dyed? Not any more, my natural hair color changed it self into what it looked like dyed.
Cool yes, but it would be a pain to bleach out to dye it some other color. Blacks a hard color to bleach out, anyone who tried to bleach it out can tell you. On the other hand it helps me scare the crap out of people. Like Sari, after I got my first paycheck. I bought some scarecrow fangs.
The saber ones, Sari ran out of the room faster then Blurr could run. I turned to the door as it opened, Sari, Claw, and Bumblebee walked in. Bumblebee was looking around the room, as Sari Hooked Claw up to his leash. "Are you ready Rain?" I walked over, and took the leash from Sari. "What are we doing? Cause if were going to be running from Godzilla, I need better shoes." Sari giggled at that before walking out of the room.
"Guess" I frowned slightly, I hope where not helping them clean. That place was a spider magnet. Bumblebee must have seen my face, because he softly patted my shoulder. He must hate cleaning too. Somehow Sari, Bumblebee, Claw and me fit in a elevator.
Mind you it was a tight fit, but it worked we didn't go crashing to the ground floor. In the lobby waiting was the rest of the autobots, so cleaning their base wasn't out of the equation yet it seemed. A few minutes later, we where at the base cleaning. Sari had some plan with Bee to spend the night, after it was clean and livable. I don't think Issac would be too happy about that, he didn't seem to like the autobots.
That was understandable, if I had Megatron in my office I would be just as unhappy with my kid hanging around giant robots who might know him. Anyway, we split into groups to cover more ground. Ratchet, and Optimus where a group that was cleaning up the 'living room'. Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Sari where going to clean out some rooms. Me and Prowl was going to clean the other rooms, I won't say that's bad or good. We haven't really talked to each other, the good thing is that Prowl wouldn't step on Claw accidentally.
We didn't really have anything to do, just sweep, dust some areas and others had left over auto parts. Me and Prowl worked together quite well. We where quite up until, I asked to him to remove some bugs I encounter then we started to chat about some of the bugs we saw. Well, to tell the truth he asked questions and I answered them. Prowl seemed quite happy that I could answerer his questions; he must have asked Sari before me...
Two and a half hours of cleaning later, Prowl and me where on better terms with each other then when we started. A good thing, Sari would be hanging around with the autobots for a long time. Sari walked into the room, with the rest of the autobots after her. "Rain, can we go get a snack before the speech?" I blinked thinking it over, before I nodded. "Alright, what would you like to get?" Sari just grinned before walking out of the room; I don't think I'm going to like this. A few minutes later we where nibbling on hash browns, at the place Issac was going to thank the autobots and Starscream was going to make his appearance.
Sari was busy wolfing down her hash brown, while telling the autobots how she met me. We where about twenty minutes early for the speech, people where just starting to arrive. Sari was blabbing away at her story, not having gotten to the point where she met me. I heard this story over three times, all by different people. Sari's version was the first time I heard it, she had a prank war going on with one of her fathers employees kid.
The war had been going on for months until Sari had, 'spilled' hot pink paint all over the kid. As a bribe to stop the war, Issac took Sari out to get candy. Having then met me when she got to the store. Lucky me. The other two versions where Issac's and Fanzones. Both of which where boring, until Fanzone's bad luck with robots kicked in.
Good old Fanzone, always knows how to spice a place up. Sari was just finishing her story when I added to it. "That's how I got this lousy job..!" I teased, Sari just giggled and rolled her eyes. Bumblebee laughed, before asking what the joke was. Ratchet and the others sort of stared at Bee before shaking their heads.
Sari explained to Bee shortly after, what the joke was. "Wait, if that was two years ago, how old are you now Rain?" Prowl, had to catch that one detail. Sari looked confused, thinking it over. "Ya, how old are you? We never celebrated your birthday.." I paused, coughed a little, and shifted my weight from foot to foot. "Do you need to know?" I asked, avoiding eye contact with all of them. "Oh come on Rain! It's not like you're as old as Ratchet!" That at a complaint about rude kids, from Ratchet and how they where raised better back in his days.
I blushed a light pink, which showed horribly on pale skin before muttering out that I was seventeen.
