Okay so I have to take semester tests, so this will likely be the last update until the weekend. D: I was so mad when I learnt I had to the test, cause I was thinking I didn't, but of course my dreams got crushed.
So anyways on with the story! :D
Karly's POV:
Funnily enough I spent the first half of the morning playing charades with the metal panther in trying to learn his name, eventually I had to go through the entire alphabet and he would stop me on the letters in his name.
So after about 2 hours I learned his name was Ravage. Pretty cool name. Then I spent another hour trying to persuade him into staying at the house in my room instead of following me everywhere like he wanted.
After that, I went over to Soundwave's and spent several hours chilling until it was time for the party (I decided to change the party time to noon) Finally the time came for us to leave for the party, and I had to say I was pretty pumped.
Sitting in the cockpit of Soundwave's alt, I grin when we land a little ways from town, before Soundwave decide he wanted to piss me off and eject me from the seat.
"I swear to God, you do that ONE more time I will spam your freaking computer thing at your cave with so much tentacle porn, you'll be too terrified to even look at your monitor!" I snarl.
He was already in his holoform by then before he froze, most likely to look up what I was talking about. And I kid you not he has a somewhat horrified look on his face, making me bust out laughing.
"Oh my gosh that was GREAT!" I cackle.
"Humans: Disturbing species." He says monotone.
I snort.
"You're telling me." I grin.
Walking over to him I wrap my arm around his arm and tug him along.
"Come on we don't want to be late." I grin up at him.
He stares at me a few moments, before nodding. As we walk down the sidewalks I spot a poster on a window, looking at it I grin excitedly.
"The amusement park is finally opened!" I say.
Soundwave stares at me.
"It's a place where humans go to have fun, there are games, rides, and other sorts of entertainment." I supply. After the party do you want to go?" I question, trying to contain my excitement.
He nods, and I wrap him in a hug.
"It's going to be so AWESOME, now let's go!" I grin before grabbing his hand in tugging him along.
My heart does flips in my chest, first I manage to steal a hug, now I'm holding hands with Soundwave even though I'm pulling him along. Once we make it at the pizzeria, I'm greeted by Fayden.
"Hey Karly! Who's your friend?" He questions.
I look over to Soundwave and smile.
"This is Soundwave, Soundwave this is Fayden." I grin.
Fayden nods.
"Nice to meet you." He says.
Soundwave nods stiffly.
"He doesn't talk much." I supply.
Fayden nods.
"Well now that you're here pick a seat, the pizza is going to get served in a bit. I have to sit with my sister, she forced me to talk to this girl." He chuckles embarrassed.
I nod.
"Good luck then." I say before looking around for a table.
I choose a booth in the far corner of the pizzeria, after a few moments pizza is finally served, grabbing a slice I sit back down in front of Soundwave.
"Are you fine Soundwave, you're not uncomfortable are you?" I question.
Surprisingly enough he answers me.
"Answer: No Karly: As long as you're having fun Soundwave: Is fine." He says.
I'm not going lie, my heart leaped. I smile widely and nod.
During the party as usual I chose not to socialize, even with Fayden's encouragement. I'm not shy, not at the least, but I'm extremely sarcastic and people tend to take it to heart, plus most of the kids there were either people thought were idiots, or people I just didn't know. SO after about 30 minutes of sitting there with Soundwave, I decide to leave, much to Fayden's disappointment.
"Query: Why did you not socialize with the others?" Soundwave questions.
I shrug.
"I told you I'm not a social person; I prefer not talking to people I don't know. Plus I didn't know anyone there, and the ones I did know are the kids that waste their time doing drugs and shooting up because they think it's cool, which in my case I don't want to waste my time trying to befriend someone who's likely to die way before they are supposed to." I say stuffing my hands into my pocket.
"Karly: Had something happen, didn't you?" He questions.
I stiffen, before sigh.
"Yeah, I did. Her name was Anna, she was my best friend at my old school, I had known her since we were in pre-K, but she was always trying to fit in be with the crowd. So at 13 she started to drink because the boy she had a major crush on offered it. I chose to ignore it because she was my friend, I couldn't just stop being friends with someone I considered a sister. No matter how much I threatened her to stop, no matter how many times I tried to convince her that stuff was no good, she never listened.
She began drinking and partying every weekend with her other 'friends' she never came over anymore, we just hung out during school, but that was only because her so called friends ignored her. Then she go into drugs, it really messed her up. One night I went over to her house, I walked into her room she was passed out on the floor, her eyes were rolled back in her head, and just over all messed up. It was terrifying for me, I was afraid of losing my closest friend, so immediately I called 911 and she was taken to the hospital.
When she got out I figure she'd finally stop, but apparently that trip to the hospital made her cooler to her new friends. Finally she dropped me completely as a friend, and 3 weeks after her release from the hospital she died of alcohol poisoning and over-dose at a party." I say looking at the ground with a sigh.
I begin speaking again.
"That's why I chose to be alone and not socialize, I don't like getting close to someone only for them to leave because of their own stupidity. Plus my eyes haven't always been very helpful either." I shrug with a fake grin.
He stays silent for a moment.
"Amusement park?" He questions.
I shake my head.
"Nah, let's go back to your cave, I prefer just your company than the company of screaming children and adults." I say with a smile.
He nods, though I notice his happy aura, confusing me.
Once back at the cave, I sit over by the entrance of the cave, sketching out the scenery as Soundwave works. As I sketch I hear movement, looking up I see Ravage.
"I thought I told you to stay at the house!" I hiss
He walks up and buts his head against my chest like a cat would to its owner's leg.
"We'll I guess I can introduce you to my friend." I grin.
I rest my hands on his shoulder, as he walks alongside me. Once seeing Soundwave, I call out to him.
"Sound! I want you to meet someone!" I grin.
He turns around before freezing, I feel Ravage tense, and both stay still for a few moments, before Ravage leaps up and practically jumps on Soundwave. As first I thought he was attacking, until I heard Ravage's loud purrs.
"Um I take it you know each other?" I question awkwardly.
Soundwave nods as the large panther nuzzles against Soundwave's leg.
"Ravage: Soundwave's symbiote." He says.
I furrow my eyebrows in confusion before tilting my head.
"What's a symbiote?" I question.
"Answer: Not an easy way to explain. In a way it's similar to humans and their offspring, only there is no other partner to be considered a creator." He says.
I raise a brow.
"I think…I get it." I say scratching my head.
He nods, before Ravage moves from his rubbing against Soundwave's leg and come to me before butting up against me and nuzzling me with a purr.
"You know you act a lot like a kitty." I say patting his head.
"Query: How long have you known of Ravage?"
"I met him after I left the cave yesterday, I let him stay at my house." I say with a shrug.
Soundwave nods, before looking over to Ravage as Ravage looks at him, almost as if their having a silent conversation or something.
Soundwave's POV:
It was surprising to say the least when he saw one of his symbiotes next to his femme.
It was even more surprising that she knew of him.
Never the less he was relieved to see one of his creations living and well.
Laserbeak however was living but not well.
After the last battle with the Autobots, the symbiote was damaged badly, so to make sure of his safety he was forced to put him into stasis until his full recovery.
:::::Query: Where have you been?:::::Soundwave.
:::::Stranded on another planet after the last battle on Cybertron. Managed to get to Earth only days ago::::Ravage
:::::Query: Do you know the location of your siblings?::::::Soundwave.
:::::Negative, I can't reach the bond. How is Laserbeak, I sense his injury?:::::Ravage.
So he began explaining what happened, all while his femme gave them curious looks.
:::::So who's the human femme? I followed her only because she had your scent.:::::Ravage.
:::::Answer: Friend.:::::Soundwave.
::::I sense a hesitance on the friend part boss, you have feelings for the femme?:::::Ravage.
Naturally Ravage would be the one to notice, he much like himself was very observant, unlike his siblings Frenzy and Rumble, whom are lack for a better word, idiots.
:::::Ravage: Correct.:::::Soundwave.
:::::Why not make a move, she's a pretty femme, I'm sure she has other suitors.:::::Ravage.
Don't remind him, he remember very well his femme's encounter with the Autobot pet, Jack and that annoying flirt Knockout.
::::Answer: Unsure if feelings are mutual.::::Soundwave.
Immediately he senses the brooding emotions coming from his creation, making him uneasy in what the Cyber-panther has in processor.
::::I'm sure I can find something out.:::::Ravage.
He immediately sensed the mischevious tone to the panther's voice.
Primus help him.
Not much in my opinion, but I hope you enjoyed it.
Tell me what you think!
Have a wonderful day/night!
See you all soon, hopefully, if I'm lucky.
Bye!
P.S. Fear not Laserbeak will be fine, I'll probably bring him in a few chapters. Frenzy and Rumble will come in WAY later, I'm still debating on it. By the way I am not forgetting Ratbat, Buzzsaw and the other 50 million, I'm just not sure which ones I want to add yet, so I'm welcome to suggestions, I'll pick to more so..
