Unbroken: Part four

I guess I was expecting her to toss a fit, so I waited around for Alyssa to reappear after her session with Red Alert. What I wasn't expecting however was for her to come out only an hour later with a huge goofy grin on her face. Red followed her slowly as if he were deep in thought. I know the look of one who has had their mind messed with by Alyssa so I went over to her.

"Okay what did you do to the poor nut case?" I asked.

She grinned back, "Nothing, I didn't hurt him in any physical shape form or fashion."

"That doesn't mean you didn't do any thing to him," I crossed my arms and looked at her, "now spill."

"What, why do you always assume that I've done the worst when it comes to this," she asked.

"Cus I'm usually right."

She giggled, "Oh okay, well I figured Red Alert would appreciate it if someone actually paid attention to him during this for once."

"Come again?"

More giggling, "It's very simple, He started lecturing me and like any good student in a class, I started asking him questions."

"That's it?"

"Basically, I don't think he's ever had any one actually do that. I think I may have blown a gasket with him though."

"No wonder. I guess that's never happened."

"Ya think?" That devious little grin returned.

"And you accuse me of being evil." I shook my head at her.

"Now if you don't mind I have more revenge to plan." She gave me a lil' wave and disappeared around the corner.

That left me alone so I went to go and try and get some more work done my writing. Why I expected that stupid lounge to be peaceful I have no clue. But I did, and I was disappointed. I got in there and found several of the guys clustered around the twins as the two of them were in what looked like a heated argument.

"Will you give it a rest already?" Sideswipe demanded.

"Hey it's not my fault if I'm good!" Sunstreaker shot back.

I wiggled my way through the crowd to see what the problem was. What I found when I got there was Sunny standing on a bench and holding the controller out Side's reach. I craned my neck around to get a good look at what it was that the two of them were having such a fuss over. I expected some kind of exciting war game, or at the very least Pac man. It wasn't any of those above. What it turned out to be was Tetris. I felt my jaw come unhinged of its own accord as I gapped at them. That was when some one bothered to look down and catch the expression on my face.

"What's wrong Angel?" Smokescreen asked.

"It's....TETRIS!" I gapped more.

"Yeah it's great!" He grinned at me, "Though Prowl and Streak say they found one that was better while they were staying at your house."

And that was all my mind could take. Some how when they were human sized and I had presumed bored out of their collective minds, seeing all of them playing games hadn't been that hard to accept. Now that were back to normal size the image of a bunch of them clustered around a game console playing games just sent my mind in to over load.

I proceeded to whirl around on my heel and head back out the door. I walked down and took a look in the second lounge. Thankfully this one was happily deserted.

So I was able to concentrate on my work for a while. Then I heard the door swoosh open again I looked up to see Jazz , Hound, and another one who's name I didn't know came in and sat down.

"Okay so what are you guys in the mood for tonight?"

The huge red and white one looked thoughtful for a moment, "how about Jeepers Creepers 2? We haven't done that one yet?"

"Hey that's a great one!" Hound chimed in! "Can we watch some of the extras too?"

"Sure!" Jazz told the two of them, "Jeepers creepers 2 it is."

I at there and gapped at them as they dug around in the video storage thing, and then came back up with it. It was about that time that one of them finally noticed me.

"OH!" This was the huge red and white one, "Miss Angel."

Jazz suddenly noticed me too, "Hey there kitten! Wanna watch some horror movies with us?"

I couldn't help but gape, "you... you watch horror movies?"

"Oh yes," This was the white one again.

Hound suddenly grinned, "Hey you haven't met Jetfire yet have you?"

"Uh no," I responded flatly.

He motioned to him, "This is him," then he motioned back to me, "Jet this is the Miss Angel that you've heard so much about."

"It's wonderful to meet you." He told me in the high cultured voice of his. "Are you quite sure that you wouldn't like to stay with us and watch the movie? We do this once a week." He looked at Hound, "What did you call it?"

Hound Smiled, "A MSTing party."

Now I was dumb founded, "Autobots know what MST3K is?"

"Are you kidding!?" Jazz laughed, "Hound found the thing a few years a go and we couldn't get enough of it."

This had to have been my night to have my mind blown, because it had now happened twice.

"No thanks, I have to get some writing done." I lied.

"Are you sure?" Jetfire asked again, "I heard this one is a great deal of fun."

"Thanks for the offer guys, really. But I have gotten a bit behind on my writing."

"Okay Kitten," Jazz winked at me, "Just don't spend all your time working."

With that I grabbed my computer and headed for the next lounge. From the lecture that I had received the earlier I knew that there were three and I was hoping that this third one would be and stay empty.

I got lucky, no one was in there. One more time I sat down with my computer and started to get some writing done. I was one paragraph into it when the door to this one swooshed open. I was on the verge of running when I realized who it was.

"Oh Hi Optimus."

"You look ready to jump out of your skin." He came over and a few seconds later was the right size to sit next to me.

"Oh I'm not nervous, just well a bit wierded out."

"How so?"

I sat my laptop down and leaned over against him. "Well for some reason I didn't ..." I trailed off not wanting to be insulting.

"Didn't what?"

"Well I didn't expect you guys to be this ...normal."

He snapped of his mask and sat it down next to my computer.

"See what I was telling you?" He put his arms around me.

"Oh? What was that?" I snuggled up to him.

"That we're not that different from humans after all."

"There is that." I stopped and giggled, "Though I have to tell you, Jetfire and Hound, they do not come off as cheezball horror flick geeks."

"Well Hound maybe," he smiled and finished.

"Yeah," I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled him down to me.

"Still I'm glad I finally found ..."

With that the door suddenly opened and several of the bots spilled in and then they suddenly froze. These five all looked like they changed into planes or something, and every single one of them had the deer in the head lights look plastered all over their faces. It suddenly dawned on the biggest one and he began to haul the others back out.

"Sorry," He muttered.

I rolled my eyes and buried my head against his shoulder. "How do you get any privacy around this place?"

"Its simple I don't." Optimus sighed.

I opened my mouth to say more when some one started shouting.

"I think Alyssa and Jack got him." Optimus muttered.

"Oy," I smooshed my face against him again and wondered what else was gonna happen.
