Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers Animated only my OC's.
Reunite Old Friends; Meeting New Friends
Soundwave was a mech with few words, but that was just the way he was created. Megatron had made sure he was to be as loyal as possible to him alone, despite Lugnut showing it the most making it obvious, he was a mystery to anybot he encounter. Still his purpose was to only serve Megatron as payment for his existence. The last thing he remembered was navigating the ship around Earth and keep watch over the Allspark through the security feeds. He expected the Autobots to arrive on Earth to fight them again, he expected them to split up to cover more ground, he expected the Autobots and his fellow Decepticons to fight, he expected to see Megatron exact his vengeance against Optimus Prime. What he did not expect was the moment he set his optics on the Allspark was for the orb to form into a femme, he did not expect to see a seeker's ghost float inside the room, nor did he expect the Allspark to glow like that and cover the entire ship and make it vanish into thin air. The light was too bright but they could feel its energy around them, a soothing energy otherwise their bodies and circuits would be warning them of any pain. That wasn't the case, just before Soundwave lost his own consciousness he heard a voice;
"This is my last hope for my children to end this war, I can only have faith for their success"
Just what was the Allspark talking about and who was she talking about? He couldn't linger on about that cause his systems gave in and he lost consciousness.
In our world
Inside Arani's room a low glow could be seen through her window, however inside was a better view for anyone who might have been in there…awake that is. The Transformers Animated toys she had collected over the years were starting to glow brightly, however Arani was too deep in her sleep to notice or even hear it. After the glow faded, her once Transformers Animated collection we're no longer on the shelf but they we're the size of normal human heights, if a bit taller and scattered on her bedroom floor. All in statist and awaiting the morning to come.
The next morning
Morning soon arrived and Joyti was already up the earliest, for her day at the office. She did her normal morning rituals and gathered her lunch for the afternoon and just in case for the late night and left Arani a note with some cash for take-out if she would be late. She looked over at the gaming council and smiled;
"Last night was sure fun, never taught the game would affect us both like that. Though I can't help but still wonder about Arani's question, oh well not like they would arrive in this world or anything" she thought as she exited the house and locked the door for safe keeping
If only she knew just how much this spring break would change their lives or how lively their house would be in just a few hours!
Upstairs in Arani's room soft moans could be heard from multiple characters, one would think there was more than one person inside the girl's room. Then again there were, only these characters will turn things upside down from now on.
Optimus moaned while holding his helm and trying to shake the fuzz out of his systems, his optics finally online and the first thing he saw was Megatron's face inches away from his. To make matters worse Megatron's optics were online as well, both bots looked at each other without making a sound. That was until they scattered away from each other as quick as possible. All the other Autobots and Decepticons were starting to online as well, when both sides spotted their deceased comrades right next to them alive. The Autobots looked at Prowl cradling a sleeping Bumblebee in his arms and holding him close, while Starscream was busy looking himself over and again to check if he wasn't dreaming or anything, Wasp too was in his bot form before his transformation was looking himself over as well. Both sides didn't know what to think of the situation, Optimus was the first to say something;
"Prowl is that really you?" he asked amazed
Said bot looked up at him and smiled;
"Do you know any other bot by that name? I'd like to meet him" he joked still smiling
"IT IS YOU!" Bulkhead yelled out and hugged him along with a sleeping Bumblebee, who might be in a really deep sleep since the hug didn't wake him up immediately.
The others got out of their stupor and gathered around their returned comrade, each giving their own welcomes; Ratchet patted the cyber ninja's back whilst looking him over, the twins and Blurr saluted him, Jazz joined Bulkhead in the hug-fest, Ultra Magnus nodded at him and Optimus surprised everybot with a hug of his own.
"Welcome back Prowl, it really hasn't been the same without you" Optimus said
"Aaaww isn't that nice~" Random said a cackled whilst hugging Starscream who tried to get away from him
Megatron as well as the other Decepticons got out of their own stupor, they were ready to attack when they heard a shift coming from the other side. Looking at the source of the sound they were again surprised at the fact that in front of the was a human femme sleeping peacefully, but what they found more surprising is that she was almost the same height as they were or at least they shrunk to her size.
"What in Primus name is going on here? Are you all responsible for this?" Megatron asked looking at the Autobots hatred clear in his optics
All the Autobots just looked perplexed and stood their ground, Prowl still holding Bumblebee in his arms shielded him away from any attacks that may come. None noticed the girl stirring awake and sitting up, it was then that Bumblebee decided to stir and open his optics. He noticed he was being held by somebots and looked up to see who it was. His optics widened when he saw who it was and jumped out of his arms as soon as he did. All optics where now suddenly at the duo in front of them, Bumblebee didn't even notice anybot else not even his surroundings. He looked at Prowl and just couldn't believe what he was seeing, he walked closer with one servo extended to touch him. Prowl didn't dare move wondering what would happen if Bumblebee touched him, when that did happen said bot looked up and before anybot knew it punched Prowl in the face. Looking up he saw Bumblebee's optics leaking and started hitting him on the chest but not hard enough to damage him. Feeling even worse now he held him tight not saying anything;
"You moron, glitch, stupid ninja-bot, self-sacrificing jerk-bot, WHY? WHY DID YOU LEAVE US LIKE THAT?" Bumblebee practically yelled
He looked up and saw Prowl's features in pain as well, he didn't answer instead he held Bumblebee tighter and lifted his chin up and with one swift move kissed him on his lip-plates. Everything froze for all the bots in the room when they saw that, when the kiss finished Prowl said only one thing;
"Because I wanted to protect the ones I loved the most" he said
Bumblebee just sobbed again and held Prowl just as tight, some of the bots were leaking from their optics and trying to wipe it away, out of nowhere a tissue box appeared in front of Bulkhead
"Tissue Bulk?" the small Earthling asked, Bulkhead just took one without a care before realizing just what was happening and let out a loud yelp, all optics were on the little organic female sitting on her bed with a tissue leaking from her own optics;
"That was the most beautiful scene I have ever witness in mine entire live"
Everybot in the room was speechless when she reacted that way, Optimus was the first to knock it out of him. After a quick shake of the head he coughed a bit and started to introduce himself;
"Greetings I'm…"
"I know who you all are no need for introductions, after all my room should have made that part clear enough" she said and supported her comment by pointing at various places in her room
Both sides looked around and were surprised with all the decoration having to do with their home world and various characters from the both sides of the armies. However it was clear she was more Autobot than Decepticon. Megatron had enough and raised his canon towards the femme human;
"Are you responsible for our predicament?" Megatron asked fury written in his optics
The Autobots stood their ground and activated their weapons to defend the girl, that was till she moved as fast as Blurr and grabbed Megatron's arm and flipped him over the room. All optics we're wide as saucers.
"What you all thought I'd cower before him, trust me I had to face worse than that, plus my sister could beat him in a fight no problem, now if you all excuse me I'm going to freshen up. You can make yourself at home, but don't rec the place and don't go outside just yet, cause if anyone see you, you'll just be an experiment on a table and have your wires twisted in a painful matter"
With that the young femme went into what they thought was their version of a wash rec. They all had one thing in though "What the heck just happened?" that was until Bumblebee and Random started to laugh at the sight of a stupid looking Megatron on the floor. Some of the others joined in except for Decepticons still afraid of their leader's temper, though some we're trying very hard not to laugh by the looks of their shaking shoulders.
"Well guess we better check out where we are and let's heed her warning of not going outside" Optimus suggested to Ultra Magnus
"Like we need advice from a washout and some organic filth, this isn't that things concern and these organics can do nothing to us with how small they are so stop wasting Ultra Magnus's time and figure out a way to get back to Cybertron or at least contact them!" Sentinel yelled out
Both fractions looked unimpressed, even Starscream and he's the biggest jerk on the Deception's rank as far as he knows at least when someone was able to beat Megatron he would at least show him some respect even if it sounded like licking somebots ped's. However before UM could take any actions Optimus beat him to it;
"Alright that does it! I've had it up to here with you, in case your chin is blocking you're view SHE was the same height as us, which means we're either on a planet where THEY are just as tall or we somehow have shrunk to their size, SHE who single-handedly threw Megatron on the ground without a sweat meaning she as well as others like her could be just as or even more dangerous if we went out there without proper knowledge; I'm sure you know what happened the last time we did such a stunt and I practically warned you AND Elita. I've put up with this guilt of what happened to her because I actually felt guilty for not trying harder to stop you two but you AFTER you saw the way she looked you just washed it all away and whatever friendship we had, well NO MORE! It wasn't you who fought against Megatron and the Deceptions to keep the All-Spark safe, it wasn't you who helped the protect the city and its citizens from whatever danger rose up, it wasn't you who found out about the spy on Cybertron, it wasn't you who saved UM from Shockwave, it wasn't you who tried to help Elita to change back! From now on don't even think on asking me for help because I won't, I'll have you're back when on the battlefield but don't expect me to TRUST you to do the same, after all running away from a difficult situation instead of facing them head-on and blaming others when YOU messed up is the ONLY thing you're ever good at. Even the Decepticons have more back strut then you!"
With that said and done Optimus just stomped out of the room leaving a flabbergast audience behind; on his way downstairs he noticed a few pictures hanging on the wall of two young girls; a couple on their wedding day and one of four elderly couples. He could hear a few peds following him so he continued to see the rest of the house. When he finally arrived downstairs he was impressed by the interior, the living room had a couch set of grey coloring, with a matching carpet, a white coffee table in the middle, with two small versions on each side of the two-seats and an incliner, a TV-table with what looked like a home-theatre system and a couple of gaming consoles, the TV was hanging off the wall. Further in the room he sees a family dinner table, which was made of glass and several grey-colored chairs. He peek in another room only to see a large kitchen with the needed appliances, a cook-top, and inbuilt oven and microwave, also there was a counter with four bar-stools. Outside Optimus could see it was early in the morning and a back-yard big enough for the ninja-bots to practice on;
"They'll sure make use of that no doubt," Optimus thought to himself
The others had just arrived downstairs and started looking around, some wanted to go outside immediately but one word from Megatron and UM, stopped them on their tracks. Apparently they weren't going to risk it, Sentinel Prime was sulking having been told off and reprimanded at the same time. Some of the bots took a seat at the dining table, while some took a seat on the couches or we're standing in-between the areas. There was an awkward silence, for a while but Bumblebee noticed the gaming console and took a look at the games they had, until he got to the latest one
"Boss-bot look at this one! It's us…at least I think it's us?!"
He handed the game over with Ultra Magnus looking over Optimus's shoulder and both widened their optics at the title of the game and the characters displayed, especially the title: "Fall of Cybertron"
"A-are you sure this is a game?" Optimus asked a little frightened by the words
"I'm pretty sure it's just a game here, best to ask the human about this, but isn't it cool though look it you in this you almost look as though as Magnus, maybe you're one in this?"
Sentinel quickly snatched the game from Optimus and took a look himself;
"Hah, if you're Magnus here than the title suits it just fine even the these organics know what will happen when you take over" Sentinel sneered
BOINK
All optics were wide on the young femme who looked rather annoyed and held another item threateningly in the air. Sentinel just stared at her and then promptly ran towards her, till he got a kick on his chin and landed on his behind.
"Now listen here you oversized ego-maniac, I don't like you either in fact very few fans of the Transformers world do, heed my suggestion and shut it! You would think that being told off AND reprimanded by your betters would knock some sense in your processors"
She took one look at Optimus and stopped him from thinking whatever he thought about the game
"Don't you dare doubt yourself, what happens in that game is just another dimension from your own, in that version a Prime is the most high-ranking bestowed by the either the council members of Cybertron or the Matrix of Leadership. In that version you've been chosen by both Optimus"
All the Bots and Cons had their optics wide at that revelation, Optimus was still processing everything and Bumblebee was trying to figure out the gaming console. Wasp saw this and looked for the other one and tried to figure it out before Bumblebee could. Both Minibots looked at each other and smirked;
"Two out of Three?" Bumblebee asked
"Make it three out of five" Wasp said, when he first played he didn't like it, but this game was a bit in his element and didn't believe he would have a hard time with it like the first time;
The Twins went and sat near the edges; "We call winners next!"
Arani smiled and promised them to help with the game after they had a checkup, to which many groaned and Ratchet just looked gleeful.
"Stop whining if something happened during your little transformation/transportation and it was discovered too late, who knows how damaged any of you bots or cons are before we can prevent it"
She looked up at the ceiling and yelled out; "Teletram-Neon engage full body-scans of all living beings within the house, visualize full-scans on table screen!"
Every-bot looked confused, when they heard a humming sound and saw light coming down on them. Within seconds it happened it stopped, the dinner table started glowing blue and miniature holograms of theirs started to show including Arani's. Ratchet was the first to take a look, when another hologram showed on the table. This one however was that of a humanoid-robot with purple optics and a green body and wearing, what looks like purple armor. This was the physical form of Teletram-Neon.
"Greetings Autobots and Decepticons, I am Teletram-Neon. An A.I. built by the creators of both Arani and Joyti and programmed in the main computer of the house. As you can see both your physical components and your programming are fine as far as my scan can show, however certain changes have recently been developed, perhaps medic Ratchet can shed some light to these"
Ratchet immediately focused on the scans and saw that there were indeed differences from the last scan down before they departed from Cybertron.
"These scans show that we've undergone changes during our travel here, according to these our bodies need to consume organic substances to preserve our energy and it looks like the use of oil is only permitted to clean out kinks and other such problems"
Everybot and con looked a little concern at that thought. Arani decided to speak up before any chaos could happen;
"Look it's not like this dimension has any energon resources for you guys, all that is made up by people who created your franchise, so going out to search for any is a no go"
"How would you know that, for all we know you could have some and keep it for yourself," was Sentinel's reply, all optics and eyes were on him and each one looked annoyed
"Really Sentinel?! Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds? Why in Primus' name would I need to keep Energon from you lot if I have no use for it myself?!
She then looks at Ultra-Magnus and asked; "Ultra-Magnus was there really no bot else that could have been your second in command or did those recommendations somehow vanished from your desk at some point?"
UM just looked at the girl and back at her and just shrugged;
"To be honest I asked the council every cycle if there were any new recommendations for second in command when he was chosen, trust me I was not the one who had a choice in the manner to begin with"
That cause a lot of chuckles and an irritated look on Sentinels face, all of a sudden a rumbling sound could be heard and all bots and cons looked around confused as to where that sound came from. The rumbling was louder this time and all optics were now on Bulkhead. Who just scratched his helm and tried to hold his belly-armor attempting to make it stop. Arani just smiled and gave a little laugh at the sight.
"Sorry Bulkhead but you're going to make that sound as long as you don't eat, call that the warning sign that you need more energy or you might lose strength, the same goes for the rest of you have a seat or look around and I'll whip something up in the kitchen"
"I'll help you out Arani, the faster we can get this over with the faster we can figure out what really is going on before your sister arrives, who knows how she'll react with several MALE robots in the house," Teletram-Neon said
"Why are you taking orders from her or even helping her? Shouldn't you as a fellow BOT be telling her what to do since she's an ORGANIC?" Sentinel said.
Only to receive a glare from Teletram-Neon on the flat screen;
"Please refrain from speaking when you have nothing useful to say! And as for your impeccable patients for answers, THIS ORGANIC'S parental-units were the ones to develop and create me and instead of making me their slave they tried to make me one of their family when they realize I could be sentient, after their destruction I was shut down for safe keeping because their enemies would have used me and not see that I was becoming sentient in fact they would have done everything in their powers that robotics like myself and such like YOURS, alien or not be nothing like mindless drones to be used and abused. If I were you I would THINK before I act and say anything especially since MY SISTERS AND I were trained to take assplates like yourself down and shut you up for good; UNDERSTOOD?!"
Without waiting for a reply she ignored all of them and went into the kitchen to help Arani, not knowing that some of the bots and cons were shivering from her words after witnessing how the young femme human was able to lift a full-grown Megatron from the floor and slam his body on the ground they really weren't going to take any changes. While Arani and TN were busy in the kitchen, their guest were exploring other parts of the house, funny enough both cons and few of the bots knew what certain objects were and what their purpose was. The two ninja bots saw the lawn outside and couldn't wait to use it, Ratchet and Shockwave found the door that led into the basement and saw how spacious it was; already planning on building certain needed essentials in case an emergency came up. The younger bots were cheering Bumblebee and Wasp on when they started to play against each other in versus-mode, to which Bumblebee still had the upper hand.
Optimus was done looking around and decided to just sit at the island and watch the young femme work on the kitchen appliances, he was about to comment when he saw that they were making more than one type of food for them but Arani was not having any of it
"Don't even think about stopping me, you lot just got a change in a lifetime to taste the fabulous dishes we earthlings can provide so far, so just sit back relax and enjoy the cooking. Once we figure things out for you guys and everything has to reversed I assure you, you're gonna life the rest of your life regretting never trying everything or at least the majority"
TN continued further: "And it just so happens we all know a lot of cooking styles and recipes, so you missing out will be short of an impossibility"
She winked at him and continued behind the stove while Arani was about to set the table when Optimus stood up and took some of the plates and service from her and started setting it. Not many knew but he tried to learn more about Earth cultures and etiquette, so he knew the task at hand which included folding the napkins in funny forms such like the swans he's folding right now. Arani just looked stunned but smiled and helped TN with the remaining food, when all was well and done she signaled for all the bots and cons to take a seat and have breakfast.
When both groups came in they were all stunned at the sight that beheld them; there were at least three types of pancakes, a bowl of scrambled eggs, four baskets of toast bread and warmed up buns, four types of jams, a bowl of boiled eggs, a block of cheese with a slicer and knife, a plate with a stick of butter, a couple of waffles with a container of powder, a bowl of fruit and a plate with several slices of beacon on it both turkey and pork. Two pots which contained either thee or coffee and a jug of juce d'orange.
The bots whom have been on Earth knew that this was a huge breakfast and wasn't about to let the femmes down by just standing there. Each took a seat but waited for the cons and the femmes to take a seat as well. Arani saw that the cons looked weary so she just went straight to Megatron and placed him on a seat, this prompted the remaining cons to take a seat as well; Arani took a seat right opposite from Megatron, while Teletram-Neon went back into her screen.
The bots and cons just sat there awkwardly, when Bulkhead stomach rumbled again, Arani just laughed and began piling his plate with the basic eggs with toast and few slices of beacon. Next she took his glass and poured the juice in it and went to get one of the post;
"Which would you like to try Bulk coffee or tea?" she asked him
"Ehhh…tea please" he answered and was about to take a bite out of the food, till Optimus stopped him
"Bulkhead wait a little moment longer, the rest of us need to fill ours and after we need to pray at least majority of households do that on Earth" he explained while looking at Arani for confirmation.
She smiled and said; "That's the right etiquette, but not all household does that so don't feel obligated to do so if you're hungry go on enjoy the meal the next one won't be for a few hours and we have a lot of work to do by then"
Both parties did so but some did wait for the others to fill their plates and thanked the femmes for the food. A few minutes passed, while eating and none had said anything till then. This started to worry Arani who was just enjoying a waffle with some fruit with tea, until Sentinel started to mumbled about eating organic food and sharing a table with filthy cons and useless organics, till he was elbowed on the side by both Jazz and Magnus, who just gave him a look which meant he needed to shut up before he really did some damaged. She just ignored him and looked over at the others to see how they're doing.
Wasp was eating his portion little by little, it looked like he had a hard time deciding what was good or not.
Some of the cons just poked some of their food before taking a bit as if something were to happen, the only ones who seemed normal were the Earth-bound Autobots and to her surprise Megatron, she was wondering about that.
"Probably during his time as Sumdac's lab decoration, better if I don't mention that anytime too soon"
She observed the other bots, and could see that some members of the Elite Guard had a difficult time with what to do.
"It won't damage anything if that is what you all are worried about," she said
Ultra-Magnus looked at the young femme, who in turn gave him a reassuring nod and raised her cup of tea to him. Magnus gave a small smile and a slight nod to her and immediately filled his own plate with waffles fruit and drizzled some syrup on it. Jazz took the hint and filled his with some pancakes, but the syrup he set on the side and took a mug and filled it with coffee, immediately when it was filled he brought it to his mouth plates, when Arani quickly stopped him.
"Jazz wait!" she called urgently, causing all at the table to stop a little startled at the outburst
Said mech immediately stopped and gave her a questionable look with his head tilted to the side a little, making him look quite cute or adorable to any fans out there. Arani blushed a little, but focused. She had to stay on her toes if she wants things to go well, both she and her sister knew the dangers there were out there and unlike any transformers universe this was the real world, which meant danger was right around the corner.
"That coffee is way too hot, you might want to start with small sips, before you burn your tongue plating. Trust me did it once out of foolishness and my tongue was numb for 2 days," she explained
Getting the hint, Jazz nodded and took a small sip first but then cringed and made a face of disgust. Arani laughed at his expression and passed the cream and sugar, she explained to put a small amount of each in it and to try it again. Sure enough Jazz showed a sign of bliss after the first sip and started on his pancakes, however the syrup was a tad too sweet for him, but he didn't want to stop with his pancakes;
"X'cuse me hunny, are these round fluffy things supposed to be eaten with this sticky liquid thing or can I add something else, cu'se this a tad too sweet fer my taste," Jazz asked and pointed out
Arani thought for a moment and then lit up, she went to the fridge and got out a white container and shook it a little. She then got a small plate and after removing the cap, she sprayed a white fluffy cloud-like substance in a circular form and placed it next to Jazz's plate
"Try it with whip-cream, I can understand that the syrup isn't for everyone, I personally love my pancakes with a small spread of strawberry or blueberry jam," she said with a wink
Jazz smiled and tried it, immediately loving it and wolfed down his food like there was no tomorrow. Ultra-Magnus smiled a little at his former third-in-command's antics, took his own cup of tea and took small sips from it.
Sentinel just looked disgusted at his commander and the rest of the bots and cons, but didn't complain for fear of getting scolded again. Even he knew how to take a hint, most of the time anyways. He cautiously went for the eggs and toast and was about to add the syrup on that, when Arani stopped him as well;
"Sentinel unless you want a bad taste in your oral functions, and as much as I would have loved for you to make a fool of yourselves after you gave Optimus that slagged attitude, I just hate for good food to go to waste"
Sentinel just glared at her and proceeded to pour the syrup on the food, he didn't notice the exaggerated looks he got from Arani, Jazz, Optimus, Ratchet, Shockwave and Ultra-Magnus. While the cons, looked annoyed at the Autobot SIC, however some of the bots looked about ready to collapse from laughter. When Sentinel took the first bite he immediately spit it back out and reached for the cup of coffee, which was steaming hot and in turn burned his tongue. Some bots and cons roared with laughter, TN was recording the whole thing, while others just shook their heads at the idiocy. But Arani just couldn't move, apparently the piece of food that was spat out, landed on her check and she was frozen from mere disgusts. Optimus noticed her sudden lack of movement and saw why, he took his napkin and wiped the piece of food off of her. Arani was grateful for that and gave Optimus a smile, looking adorable or cute to others whom paid attention, OP smiled back but anybot could see the faint blue tint covering his cheeks.
"OOOOWWWWW this is stuff is horrible, how can something be this hot!?" Sentinel yelled around
"That an actual question Sentinel? Because I can't tell with all you're yelling, calm down it'll cool off eventually drink some water with ice to cool it down for now" Arani said
Jazz helped sentinel out, really not in the mood for anything else to go wrong for which many at the table were grateful for, the remaining breakfast went well and Arani with the help of the Prowl and surprisingly Bumblebee gathered the empty dishes and placed them near the sink. Prowl was about to start with the plates when Arani suggested to use the cups glasses silver ware and plates in the dishwasher and only use the dirty pots and pans in the sink. While Prowl and Bumblebee washed and dried, she placed them back in the cupboards. When she went to place the chairs and clean the table she saw Optimus doing so with the help of Jetfire and Jetstorm. Arani blushed a beet red when she got a good few of Optimus's aft, she stood there for a while and didn't notice Bumblebee and Prowl walking towards her when they noticed she was looking at something when they looked the direction her eyes were fixed on they couldn't help but snicker. Bumblebee put and arm around her shoulder, when she looked at him he grinned and went;
"Grrrrrrrrrr" like a cat and wiggled his optic ridges, Prowl just smirked smugly at her when she chocked on air and she shushed them both
"Owh shush I'm a femme I know how to appreciate a good view of aft when I see one"
Unknown to her she said that a little too loud and Optimus immediately turned around when she walked into the living room. The others in the kitchen just laughed at Optimus's reaction, he blushed a very dark blue and tried to glare at the others but only for them to collapse from laughter.
All bots and cons wondered what the commotion was when the femme came through and she just shrugged. The others followed still laughing, along with an annoyed looking Optimus still sporting a blush on his face.
"What's gotten into you lot and why is Optimus blushing like a mad mech?" Ratchet asked a little annoyed by the ruckus
"They're laughing because of what I did and said in there" Arani said not embarrassed at all
"Which is?" Ratchet asked
"Sheesh Ratch curiosity killed the cat as the human phrase would go" she said wondering if the doc bot would still persist, but it was Jazz whom answered back
"But satisfaction brought it back my femme now spill" he said smirking the whole time
"If you must know, I was frozen on the spot when suddenly BB and Prowl were teasing me for looking at OP fine shaped aft, to which I quote 'I'm a femme I know how to appreciate a good view of aft when I see one' and that's when all the laughing started and OP is blushing like mad as the doc bot would say"
All bots and cons just looked at her and OP was now blushing even brighter looking at her like 'Did you really just say that!' outraged.
Arani just smirked; "Listen OP I'm not gonna be embarrassed for saying that or be caught doing that, at my age my hormones are still developing or in your case programming so being embarrassed won't change anything. So just appreciate I believe that fine shaped aft of yours is something worth looking at"
OP was now even more appalled and a thud was heard, all optics were on a mirthful Ratchet and UM trying to keep control of their laughter even Megatron was shaking. The younger bots were rolling on the floor having collapsed from laughter
"Seriously femme? There are better bots available here than Optimus" Sentinel said, disgusted Optimus would even blush at the fact the fleshy found him attractive
"Oh there definitely are mechs on equal footing with OP; Jazz, Prowl, UM, Shockwave, Soundwave, Starscream and even Megatron are proof of that" Arani said winking at the mechs
Most mechs stiffened at that, she found Megatron the warlord attractive?! Bulkhead was deflating a little at her statement Arani noticed this and took damage control
"While those guys are at the stage of attractive level already, Bulkhead, BB, Wasp, Blurr and the younger Seekers and Jets are at the cuteness level who have still much to learn especially Bulky he'll definitely attract femmes or even mechs whom rather want to cuddle with him all day long. The others are fun to hang out with if you got enough energy to keep up with them"
"I'm not that young!" Blurr said with a small pout
"Keep pouting like that and everyone will think otherwise" Arani laughed which got him to sit straight up
"But if you want more seasoned and experienced partner, I bet Ratchet, UM and Mega-hips can share their tales of their berth adventures" she said smirking at the reaction of many
Jazz, BB, the jet-twins were howling with laughter, the older bots now sat straight blushing madly while OP was smirking smugly at them for laughing at him earlier, but Lugnut didn't like what the femme just called Megatron but she was prepared for his outburst
"How dare you call the great Lord Megatron such a degrading name, I will destroy you if you do not apologies on your knees!" Lugnut said with much passion getting rolled optics from all the cons
"Really? Because he sure looks intrigued instead of annoyed and really while I might be too young for him my sister would sure be the right age even though she doesn't have that much experience beyond kissing and cuddling" she said counting down the seconds for Megs to react
Megatron raised and optic ridge and his body language translated as; "Owh really do tell"
"Yeah Megs if you'd swing those hips around seductively around her, she'd probably drag you down on her level and say; "We're gonna frag," go to her room, place you on her bed while taking of her pelvic plating along with yours and ride that huge spike of yours like a rocket ships colliding with a meteor shower" she said and then burst out laughing at the looks she was given
Megatron just smirked, many of his suborders were either scared or too delirious with loyalties to him like Lugnut so getting a good frag was never easy for him. This young femme's explanation about her sister however was rather refreshing and intriguing. But he wasn't going to let his hopes up just yet, for all he knew the femme wouldn't be even interested in him.
Arani smirked knowing what he was thinking and looking at the others in the room they looked as if she was crazy. Just then the phone rang making all but her jump a little;
She took the remote and pushed a button to which the TV screen went on and changed giving a phone symbol the screen with a picture of her sister. She gave the sign to stay quiet right now while she picked up, good thing it wasn't a video chat.
"Hi sis, what's up?"
"Hey baby sis, I'm afraid I have to work late today. Apparently the "dirty rat" as you called him had an issue at home so now me and the team either have to double our shift today or work till the weekend. Anonymous we just take double shift for today, I'm not wasting a good weekend because of that a-hole" J. said
"Oks sound good, but what's the scuttle bug on that guy anyway?"
"Apparently he's been messing behind his wife's back even before their marriage and guess what; he got caught, I was in the office when he called and unfortunately the boss had clicked the speakerphone instead and well everyone heard her yelling on the background. A little embarrassed for doing that, but the rest of us just laughed. Seriously the guy wasn't well liked around here his wife and kids even less. You know one of them, she's in your class and got in trouble for the whole plagiarism thing? Bianca something? Anyways point is a lot of ladies around here are in a good mood because of this, he's been flirting around with everyone and not just me even got a few kicks between the legs by some for his poor excuse of pick-up lines"
"How the heck is that guy still working there? Hasn't anyone reported him for sexual harassment?"
"He never touched anyone that's the problem, the guy's annoying but not stupid apparently. However now that he's caught I beg to differ…anyway you order something out today and I'll see you when I get back, you know what I like from wherever"
"Thanks sis, oh by the way there are some friends here so don't freak out when you get home ok?" Arani asked subtly
"Sure thing, if they stay longer make sure you get them something as well alright..."
"Is that little Lunarstar? How ya doing girl?" a male voice suddenly replaced her sister
"Hi Macadam I'm doing good guess what that paper I was working on and busting my chops about?"
"Yeah?" he asked with a little bit of excitement
"Passed with flying colors, soon I'll be sitting with you guys if you all haven't been promoted yet of course" Arani said with a proud smile on her face
"Way the go girl, told you that teach wasn't gonna fail ya on that….sooo that means that new Transformers game is as good as yours"
"Sis already bought it for me and she creamed my Optimus with her Megathights" she said with a pout
"…*snort**snort**snort*…..ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" the guy was laughing now
"You did not just say that Arani, really Megathights? Where that come from?" Joyti asked her sister, the bots could clearly hear her amusement coming from the screen
"I'm just saying it is as it is Sis, the game designers shouldn't make those Cybertronians that sexy if they aren't prepared for comments like these"
"Sometimes you're just too bold, good thing this character don't really exists he'd have his fusion cannon on your face"
"Like you'd let that happen, you'd just sashay over to him all sexy, sweet talk him and get dragged in the nearest berth-room for a good frig. Primus above knows he'd probably was due one"
She looked around the room and saw a few mechs rolling on the floor silently laughing, while others looked at her in disbelieve. She looked over at Megatron, who was polishing his canon looking at her with a smirk and glint in his optics. She just winked at him, causing the ones not laughing, to widen their optics even more;
"Arani we talked about this!"
"Alright, alright I'll back off…for now, anyways I'll see ya tonight then tell the team I said hi" Arani said
"I will, see you tonight and if you go somewhere send me a text so I'll know" Joyti said
"Ok I will, Love you Galaxia" Arani greeted
"Love you too Lunarstar" her sister finished and hung up
Arani looked around and saw nothing had changed, she gave a sight and sat down again waiting for the others to calm down and pick themselves up again
"Are all earthlings like you or are you just one of the many malfunctions around here?"
Leave it to Sentinel to make such a comment, but before she could answer Megatron made himself known
"I'm curious, you and your sister have Cybertronians names. Why is that?"
"Well we're both huge transformers fans, don't matter which universe the franchise is made in. so we decided to give ourselves Cybertronian names and choose our factions"
"Which are the Autobots I presume?" Megatron replied a little disappointed so far this human had been amusing and from the sound of her sister she would have been amusing to have around perhaps he could have found something more in her
"Yup that's me full on Autobot, I'm getting my tattoo this spring break. My sister on the other hand is completely Decepticon" she smirked waiting to see his reaction
Megatron optics widen a little bit and dare she think there was a sparkle of hope there? She wasn't one to jump to conclusions. But one could hope;
"Is she now? And you are not bothered by that?"
"Don't get the wrong idea, she'll only become outright evil to any opponent Con or bot if my life or the once of our families were threatened, plus she doesn't agree with the whole enslaving the universe mumbo jumbo you're sprouting out about" Arani said
Megatron raised an optic ridge at that; "Then she is not a true Decepticon"
"True she's not your current definition of Decepticon, but she is what Decepticons once stood for. Before the war began, before you became power-hungry"
The younger bots looked at her in confusion, while Magnus, Ratchet and the remaining cons looked up in surprise. Even Megatron had his optics widen at that, he then started to remember his days as a gladiator and minder in the lower caste cities. Remembering the many millennia's of wasted metal and energon, wasted sparks; he remember his dearest friends whom all are gone now because of the horrible lives they were forced to live and the uprisings in the cities. He started to see all their faces and the times he'd spent with them, the very few good times in his life. Suddenly he launched forward bent over and made retching sounds, Arani was quick on her feet and went into the cupboard under the stairs and brought out a bucket holding it beneath the Warlord's face, whilst she was tapping his back struts.
"My lord, what is wrong. What have you done human?!" Lugnut said whilst getting up and bringing out his fist
The other bots and cons were fast to react, but Arani was just faster. She quickly took his arm and dragged it behind him in a difficult angle and held him there;
"Now listen here, I don't know what's up with him. But unless your optics are on the fritz I was trying to help him some moments ago. Instead of trying to destroy the only shelter you have and make a messed up situation worse you could wait and help him out instead"
She looked up at the gathering and took control;
"Ratchet, Shockwave attend to Megatron; TN scan him quick"
Teletram-Neon did just that and showed the results on the TV screen; both Shockwave and Ratchet took a look at it and came to the same conclusion
"It would seem Lord Megatron's system was rerouting itself and whatever he had stored in his processor caused his system to relapse," Shockwave shared
Arani looked at him with a blank expression
"In human terms he was remembering something which caused him to become nauseous," Ratchet explained
Arani nodded and went to the side of the chair to pull something and make the armchair recline into a much comfortable position
"With other words he got a little sick, happen to the best of us, a nice nap would do him just fine would be my guess"
"Who's the medic here? You or me?!" Ratchet asked
"You of course Ratchet, but I believe you should let me do such meager task while you can help the out with what resources we have in the house to figure out where the Allspark is and why this happen. You are one of the few bots to have been near the Allspark for most amount of time even if it was through Sari's key" Arani said with a smile and return to her task
Ratchet simply nodded at that and turned to Shockwave;
"Her basement area would make a suitable area for this, shall we take a look?"
Shockwave nodded and both along with Starscream and Bulkhead
The rest just looked at each other with an awkward sense, so Arani gave them each something to do
"Alright you guys, whom ever wants to play some games you know where the controllers are, however might I suggest some other type of games?"
She then went to the console and placed a game called Mario Party 10, she then explained how to play the game and the others were very happy to be participating instead of waiting for winners, even Prowl joined with Bumblebee wanting to be near the little mini bot for a while. Bumblebee in turn promised to join him in meditation later, which surprised many mechs in the room. Satisfied Arani then gave a sign to Optimus and the others to follow her, Sentinel stayed behind still wary of the femme, she guided them to the other side of the house and went into a room, where a variety of books and art supply was placed;
"If any of you like to read or want to use the art supply then this is the room for you guys," and showed them around a little
Optimus found some books on myths and legends and was intrigued when he read the first chapter, Arani smiled and guided him to the cough near the window and placed him there. He looked up at her and gave a grateful smile which she returned and patted his shoulder. Magnus too had found some interesting reading material and joined Optimus on the opposite side.
She saw that surprisingly Blitzwing in Icy mode was painting a canvas and what was a little funny Lugnut was front and center posing. She giggled at the sight and saw that Jazz and Soundwave were still at the door looking a little bored, she thought for a moment and had a light-bulb moment. She ushered them to follow her and went in another room not far from the library;
Upon opening the mechs saw a variety of music instruments lying about, Soundwave already acknowledge with the different instruments went to one of the bass guitar and strung it letting out a soft but strong beat flow through the room. Jazz not wanting to be left out picked up a Saxophone and began to softly play a harmonic tune, to which soundwave reacted with his own and made beautiful soft melodies. Arani stayed with them and even joined them with a Cello.
A couple of hours have passed and everyone kept themselves busy for a while, Megatron was still out cold. The younger bots were still playing on the gaming console and tried all the different games available. So far all of them, even Prowl were enjoying the Mario Kart games. None of them notice the door opening and tiny paws were pitter patting inside the house. The small and fluffy creature noticed the strange looking guess, it sniffed around but didn't detect any hostilities. A small grunt alerted its ears and it looked towards the large looking metal human on the recliner, it stalked towards the being hearing its soft grunts and even a small whimper. It then made one big leap on the recliner and slowly and steady went towards the beings face, when it grunted again the creature knew it was experience something unpleasant in the dream realm. It then decided to comfort the being by sniffing at its face and eventually gave it affectionate licks, but not enough to rouse the strange being from its sleep it did however calmed the being down.
Arani and the others all went into the living room again to order some take out and convinced them to join her for a movie marathon, she even asked TN to convince the mechs downstairs to join them since it was almost dinner time, having to skip lunch. When all were in the area Arani suddenly made a huge gasp causing all to look at her and then where she was pointing at with an amusing facial expression. All in the room had reaction similar to funny, to outraged or just blank. Sitting near Megatron's face and licking at him was a small canine with the cutest behind and pointy ears. Some were looking the creature up through the WIFI having connected to it some time ago and found its breed was a Corgi, but so far their new friend had said nothing of owning a pet. Arani knew Megatron would not appreciate the small creatures gestures so the quietly walked towards them and lifted the small creature away, but not soon enough because Megatron opened his optics at that moment.
"Uhhh…a little friend thought to keep you company while resting" she said with a sheepish smile
Megatron just glared and felt something wet on his cheeks, apparently the dog kept trying. So Arani took the small dog in the kitchen and filled two bowls with water and food. Leaving the corgi there she took a wet towel and gave it to Megatron
"Here clean up, you guys thought about what you want or would you rather leave it up to me for dinner?"
"Well we don't know that much about Earth's foods besides the Burger Bot restaurant Sari used to go to" Bumblebee said
At the mention of their young Techno-Organic friend, Optimus's team deflated a little thinking about their friend. It had been several solar cycles and while she learned much about her Cybertronian heritage she still had a huge connection to earth which she wasn't ready to leave behind yet, plus since she was part bot her life-span was longer than her father's so she decided to remain on earth till his departure to the Well of Sparks. Sensing the tension from the bots Arani decided to show them some flyers so they could make their options;
"Ok we have several options to choose from, but we can only order from one restaurant so check if you find a dish you could like and we'll work from there"
The bots argued amongst themselves for a while, ultimately it was a draw between Pizza and Chinese. So to avoid any fighting she just placed a coin in the middle with UM and Megatron on either side, after instructed them how a coin toss worked, they ended up ordering Chinese cuisine. Arani proceeded to order several foods and had it delivered to them. In the meantime she put in a movie while they waited, the corgi whom was named Lucky was playing with some of the younglings even Blitzwing took an interest in the small creature, Random at least did. In addition she answered any questions they had to the best of her abilities and some with the help from the internet and thought them to be careful of certain sites, especially sites where viruses are well hidden. She in turn asked them all about their world, their culture and even asked what their world was before the war ever started. She got a lot of mixed answered especially from Megatron and UM. Before they knew it the food had arrived and she taught them how to use chopsticks, when some of them still had a hard time with them she just gave them forks and spoons to use. She took notice of how Prowl and Jazz were completely in their element, the others too had fun eating the food. Prowl even fed Bumblebee some food, she could clearly see the love the two of them had for one another, the Jet-Twins were interacting with Wasp making him feel a little less lonely. Wasp and Bumblebee sat and talk their issues out, there was still some tension there but they were working on it. After dinner they all sat and checked out some series available on her Netflix account, who would have thought anime would entertain them so much but then again its anime what's not to like?
Prowl and Bumblebee cuddle with each other, Prowl's head being on BB's lap while the mini bot wat caressing his helm. Megatron, getting over Lucky's licking fiasco had the small being on his lap petting its head once in a while. Arani wanted to be funny so she was making herself comfortable on OP's lap. Optimus in turn just looked at her and gave a cheeky smile;
"Comfortable Arani?" he asked
"Hmm why yes I am OP, your lap makes a good seat for me" she said looking up at him
He smiled down at her a little, for some reason her teasing was a refreshing experience for him. He had interacted with some femmes back on Cybertron but none had tried to act as normal as they could. Other than Elita, but then she had become Blackarachnia, he didn't know any other femme though he was more focused on his career than anything else. This femme however though how embarrassing it was just admitted to finding him attractive and was helping them out, despite the possible danger they may have put her and her sister into if they were discovered. He pulled her a little closer and watched the anime played on the TV and relaxed. They deserved a little downtime.
They were all engrossed to the anime that they didn't notice the figure standing near the entrance of the living room;
"WHAT THE HECK? ARANI GET AWAY FROM THERE!"
Joyti was home
Like I mentioned in "To Love A Warlord" fic I am sooooo sorry for the long wait but real life can be such a bummer that you lose inspiration immediately. Unless you're walking with a notebook full of ideas for writing.
