I have a poll on my profile page asking a question I really want to have answered. I'm trying to get as many answers as I can, and very few people visit my profile. I've gotten literally one answer in a week, and that's sad. Please answer, and be honest about it.


I only own my OC's!


Adoption

June 8, Griffin Rock, 6:00 AM

I'm the first one awake for a change, and slip into the dresses we're supposed to wear for our adoption hearing, which is today at 8. Mine is a light blue sundress with a full skirt and a white belt with a rose, white tights, and light blue patent leather Mary Jane shoes. Once I'm dressed, with my hair still up in curlers, I slip on the azure blue plastic glasses, and check my reflection in the mirror. I'm as ready as I can be until Momma gets up.

I wake Nellie, who changes into a dark blue sundress with a full skirt and a white belt with a rose, white tights, and royal blue Mary Jane shoes. She's got curlers in her hair still as well. She slips on her bright blue glasses before smiling at me.

We head upstairs together, and find Papa making omelets at the stove. "What do you girls want?"

"Sausage and veggies, please?"

"Ham and cheese, please!"

"Of course." He huffs. "All right, you two need to go get your mother up for me, all right? Blades will have a cow if she's not up and ready." He turns to us. "Or is Blades not up yet either?"

"He's still sleeping."

"Oh?" Papa sighs. "Chase told me he's had some pretty bad nightmares in the past."

"Separated combiner team." I pull Nellie closer to me.

"Excuse me?"

"He has three brothers and a sister, and they're separated. It's scary, even when everyone's still okay."

"And you know that because…"

"Nellie and I are combiner twins."

"Oh." He sighs. "Well, the two of you need to get upstairs and get your mom-to-be up before she sleeps through the hearing. I'll have your omelets ready when you get back down, so try to hurry."


We run upstairs and into Momma's room before standing on either side of her bed. ~One…~

~Two…~

~THREE!~ We pull the blankets off her bed—and her—together. "Wake up, Momma!"

She jolts up before sighs. "Girls…"

"Papa says get up."

"I'm up, okay? Let me get a shower, then I'll get your hair done. Now, I'm sure Dad's got your breakfast done by now, so you two need to get down there."

"Yes, Momma." We run down the stairs and slide into our seats at the table. Papa quickly sets our plates in front of us, and we start to eat.

"Dani up?"

"She's getting in the shower, then she'll be down."

"She's probably nervous." He sighs. "All right, you girls need to get whatever it is you need from Heatwave, and make sure Blades is up, because you know Dani's going to need him."

"Yes, Papa." We run down the stairs and get our energon from Carrier—in matching silver butterfly water bottles—then run into Sire's berth room, where he's still recharging—soundly for the moment. "SIRE!"

He jolts up with an unexpected whirr as formerly hidden swords come out, out of nowhere, causing us to shriek and scramble back. "Girls, what—oh…" He puts them back. "I thought the medics had disabled those." He motions us closer. "It's okay, Little Ones. I'm not going to hurt you. Come here." We step over to him slowly. "Hey. It's all right." He pulls us onto his lap. "Sweetsparks, you need to be careful about sneaking up on me like that, okay?" We nod. "I was a warrior as well as a rescue bot with my brothers and sister, so my first reaction to being startled is to bring out my old weapons." He shrugs. "Apparently the medical block against them finally wore off, but I should have warned you about that beforehand. Are you both okay? I didn't hurt you two, right?"

"He'd never forgive himself if he did."

"We're fine, Sire." We all three turn to the door as one. "When did you get there, Carrier?"

"I heard the girls' scream, and figured I'd better investigate." He steps over. "Your weapons are active again."

"Yep." He pops the P. "I didn't expect that to happen, or I would have been on-guard for them when the girls woke me up." He turns to us. "Now, what did you need?"

"Momma's gonna need ya to take us for our human adoption hearing."

"Is she ready?"

"In the shower."

"Okay. I'll be ready in a few. I noticed you got your energon…" He nods after a moment. "We're ready on our end!"

"Momma still has to get ready, though."

"She's usually pretty quick Guys."

I huff up at him. "We've been on this planet just as long as you have, Sire!"

"Then you know how quick she is when she needs to be."

"Sire, our hearing is at 8."

"Sweetsparks, it's only 7. You have plenty of time."

I pout, knowing he's right. "Sorry, Sire."

"Don't worry about it. Now, I'm sure she's ready to go."


True to his words, Momma's waiting in the garage when we head up to meet them. She's wearing a light blue blouse and black slacks with matching blue flats, rather than wearing her flight suit. "Ready to go, Blades?"

He transforms down. "We're ready. The girls can't wait."

"I know. They came in and woke me up this morning."


We head into the courthouse and step up to the clerk. "You're next. Head on in."

"All right." Momma takes each of us by the hands and steps into the courtroom. We take a seat near the front and wait for our turn.

"Dani Burns?"

Momma stands. "Ready girls?"

We nod, and follow her to the front. "Home study checks out, and, as you are one of our rescue team, we trust that you would never hurt these girls."

"Of course not, Your Honor."

"You realize that my signing this makes these little girls your full responsibility."

"Yes, Your Honor."

"Good." We watch as he signs the paper. "Good luck." He steps away, and someone steps over to take our picture with him.


"Well, are you glad to be Burns' now?"

I nod, one hand wrapped around Nellie's. "Yeah."

"Why don't we go get some ice cream before we head home?"

"Yeah!"

"Please!"

We land, and Momma takes us across the street to the frozen yogurt shop. "I want strawberry, please?"

"Chocolate please!"

"I'll take mint chocolate chip."

The man behind the counter hands us our treats, and we head out to Blades before eating our treats. "Now, let's get home. You need to get changed, and I've got a package to pick up on the mainland, if you two want to come with me."

"Can we!?"

"Sure." We land at the firehouse, and climb out before heading down with Momma and Sire. "Go get your flight suits, you're not flying that far without them. I'll be back in five."


She runs back down the stairs, all smiles, to find us waiting in our dark pink flight suits, dark pink patent leather boots, and matching light pink helmets with two white stripes and a white star on either side. "Good. You're here." She boosts us into Sire before clambering in behind us. "Dad signed you both up for girl scouts, and Heatwave's okay with you coming. We're getting a few things that Dad needs, andthey weren't able to send on the ferry so…"

"Let's go!"
