5. Costumes
Sari bounced into the autobot's base with the look of a girl on a mission, not seeing her target in the main room she headed for his room. Peeking around the doorframe Sari's grin widened when she caught sight of the large green mech. Skipping into the room she called out, "Hey Bulkhead! What do you think of my Halloween costume? ", before spinning to model said costume. Bulkhead had turned to look when she called out and now studied her attire. Sari was wore a long sleeve shirt, a vest and long pants that where yellow with orange accents, white fingerless stopped just past her wrists. Her head was adorned with a red and white baseball cap, and she had a red single strap backpack slung over her shoulder. Attached to the backpack where several red and white spheres and she had a small yellow and black stuffed animal perched on her shoulder.
"You look great!" Bulkhead stated, "But what are you supposed to be?" Sari huffed in annoyance at this, "I'm a pokémon trainer! Can't you tell by my pokémon?" Sari pointed to her stuffed animal, "It's supposed to be pichu but I wish it was real." Bulkhead considered this before asking, "Why can't you get a real one?" Sari sighed, "Pokémon is a TV show so pichu don't exist." "Oh." Bulkhead looked sad till an idea occurred to him, "I could be your Pokémon! Prowl taught the rest of us how to use our holoprojectors, so I could make a holoform of a Pokémon for you." Sari's face lit up, "You would?!" Bulkhead grinned, "Sure, what pokémon do you want me to be?" Sari's grin got bigger, "I know the perfect one! Its name is smeargle, and it's an artist just like you."
It took Bulkhead only a few seconds to look up and create a holoform of the pokémon, but before Sari could comment a voice come from the doorway. "What are you doing?" Sari and Bulkhead turned to see Prowl looking at them in confusion. "I'm going as a pokémon trainer for Halloween and Bulkhead's going to be one of my pokémon. Will you go as one too, pleeeease?" Sari's face had acquired the pleading look that so far none of the team had been able to deny.
Prowl sighed and his optics dimmed as he accessed the internet, it didn't take him long to research the subject before responding, "I'll go on two conditions. Firstly I get to pick the pokémon, and secondly no accessories." This last was said with a pointed look toward to bowtie Bulkhead's holoform was wearing. Sari smiled as the ninja gave in without a fight, "Ok, let's see your choice." Prowl activated his hologram generator revealing a jet black pokémon with glowing gold markings. "Umbreon's definitely a good look for you," Sari said with a smile as Prowl deactivated the holoform, "I'll go find Bee and see if he'll come too." As she raced out of the room Prowl called after her, "Bee is on patrol with Jazz right now, so you'll have to wait an hour or so till they get back." Sari's, "Thanks Prowl!" was shouted over her shoulder from the hall.
