Chapter 7: When Times Are Tough, I Sing
The black femme robot twirled with such accurracy and grace that all the surrounding Cybertronians gasped. She finally struck down her opponent with a single move, she ducked down, spun around on her toes, and slashed the opponent's legs out from under them with the flat of her sword. The opponent collasped into a heap and she stood up, triumphant on her win.
The surrounding Cybertronians cheered, and the black femme bowed. A tall, proud, silver figure stepped out of the of the crowd and grinned at the bowing black femme.
" Megatronius," the black femme whispered.
" My warrior..." Megatronius boomed, sticking ot his clawed hand. The black femme pushed it away and stood on her own, her bright blue optics shinning with pride.
I jolted awake and looked around. I was still inside Ironhide, who was pulling into the warehouse, and I suddenly felt very warm... Then I figured it seat warmer was burning.
" OUCH!" I hollered, flying out of Ironhide. I danced around holding my bottom, which btw, felt like it was on F-I-R-E!
" Hot butt! Hot butt! Hot butt! Yeee Ow!" I yelled, jumping into the small pool in the warehouse.
All the Autobots just stared at me, as I stepped out of the pool, soaking wet. " 'Hide had the seat warmer on..." I growled, pointing to Ironhide.
Ironhide glared at me, the bottom of his mouth was twitching. He was trying not to smile.
" Pay back will be soon. Promised," I concluding, laying on the floor.
" There'll be no bloody payback from a small fleshy!" Ironhide said smirking, then walked into another part of the warehouse.
I looked outside, and decide I was totally abandoning my bff. " Hey, may I have a ride home? I feel like I'm totally abandoning my best friend."
To my amazement, Optimus transformed and pulled up to me, and his door swung open.
I smiled and hopped in, and we drove off.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOOooOoOOoooooOO
I slowly hopped out of Optimus, he had driven me three quarters up my driveway, bless him. " Hey, thanks Optimus," I said smiling, tugging the coat closer around my body.
" No problem, Halie," Optimus's voice replied from the dashboard. I started walking towards my house when I noticed out of the corner of my eye, Optimus's holoform was leaning against himself, watching me walk up the driveway. I chuckled and stepped into my house.
"Alexis?" I asked, searching for my buddy. I found her sitting on the couch, wrapped up in her Bumblebee blanket on the couch, crying.
I threw off my coat and instantly sat by her, giving her a bear hug. " Hey, what's wrong?" I asked. Darn mother instincts kicking in..
" I miss my dad, I miss him coming to comfort me in moments of trouble.." Alexis sniffed, her eyes peeking out from under the blanket.
I smiled. I knew exactly what to do in these moments. Thank god I had an awesome singing voice...
" When you were standing standing in the wake of devestation," I started singing.
" When you were waiting at the edge of the unknown," Alexis sniffed.
" With the cataclysim rainging down, insides crying save me now.."
" You were there and possibly alone.."
" Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failure's all you've know!"
" Remember all the sadness and frustration, and let it go, let it go!"
"And in the burst of light that blinded every angel."
"As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars,"
" You felt the gravity of temper grace, falling into empty space."
" No one there to catch you in there arms."
" Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failure's all you've know!"
" Remember all the sadness and frustration, and let it go, let it go!"
" Let it goooooooo," we fisnished in unison.
" How come singing Iridescent always makes us feel better?" Alexis asked after we finished the whole song.
" Because, we've been and done the lyrics, and we basically are the lyrics. It's are song," I concluded smling.
Alexis sadly smiled, and then turned on a G1 episode, and we sat and watched G1 on the couch for the rest of the night.
