Okay, the following two stories will not be referring to Optimus, Maggie or Megatron in anyway, but I still wanted to post them somewhere. Think of them as...bonus stories. These drabbles are for my OCs Rivet and Candice. If you don't know them they come from an upcoming ficlet called Relic, which will not be in the Cosmic Joke universe, but will still have that familiar humor and action you guys have come to love. Read below if you want a taste of this new pairing.
Rivet is a tiny insect sized Cybertronian who lived in the time of the pharaohs, but was accidentally dropped in a vat of melted gold and went into stasis for a few centuries or so. Candice is an Irish girl who was given Rivet (as a pendant) from her father's recent archaeology dig. Unbeknownst to her, she reactivated him but he lost his memories of who and what he is, but because she released him he vows to serve her as best he can (and even creates a very handsome holoform to please her). Candice becomes his reluctant 'master' and they get into all sorts of fun trouble together, which includes finding his memories, another Cybertronian artifact and Vector Prime himself.
Okay enough of that backhistory. XD I actually wanted to just portray their relationship to a few fans of this couple on DA and show just how devoted he is to her...even if she's not quite aware of it. Oh Candi, you don't know how lucky you are to have such a cute time traveler like him around.
Candice wasn't ready to get up this morning. No. If anything she wanted to turn off her alarm clock and sink right back down into her nice soft, comforting pillows. Maybe even finish her dream of dating David, one of the boys she liked in the upper grade, and steal a kiss before the sunlight burned away the sleep from her eyes. But she knew she would have to get ready before her grandmother came in and gave her a guilt trip about not getting everything that Ireland's school system had to offer her. And how ungrateful she was that she could even go to school when millions of children in 3rd world countries didn't go to school at all. She gave her the same guilt trip about not eating her vegetables at dinnertime as well. Seemed her grandmother was still stuck in WWII.
She hit her alarm clock's snooze button, finding that it seemed to move by itself a little...that was odd. But she figured it was probably getting getting broken from her frequent fist slamming. Sitting up in her bed, she was surprised the a tiny green and gold robotic bug was frantically fighting it's way up her blanket from the floor, which she accidentally threw over him. Smiling, she picked up her incredibly small Cybertronian friend and placed him on her pillow. Instinctively, she reached for her cell phone on her night stand, knowing he couldn't communicate with her out-loud, only through texting.
" Morning, Rivet." she said, and read his reply.
" Good Morning, Master! Did you sleep well?" he texted as he chirped happily at her. She frowned. She told him already not to call her 'Master'. But apparently, he still did so..probably as a way to tease her.
" Actually...I'm still sleepy. Do you think, maybe...if it's possible... you could turn back the clock for me so I have an extra hour of sleep?" she said.
" I've already done that for you, Master. Three times already. Right now it's 7:31 in the morning, but it should be already 2:43 in the afternoon."
Hearing that almost caused her to fall out of bed as she glared at the tiny little bug-bot through sleep encrusted eyes.
" Rivet...who told you to mess around with time today?"
" You did."
" When?"
" You kept hitting me every time the alarm of your clock rang. So I just assumed..."
Candice face palmed and then slowly slipped out of bed.
" Are you upset?"
" No just...could you not recharge on top of my alarm clock next time?"
" I will endevour to remember that, master."
" Thanks..and one other thing. Stop calling me MASTER!"
" ...Yes, Master." He chirped mischievously. She groaned.
Author's notes:
Super short and sweet, but wraps up a typical day-in-a-life quite nicely. The next one is longer and much more plot heavy. May contain a few spoilers but worth the read if you're interested in time travels and headaches. XD
