Thank you to everyone who reviewed. I know its probably not the best thing you have ever read, but thank you anyway.
Soundwave was orbiting the Earth when he picked up on it. With his symbiots offline and no other Decepticons left, he began to orbit the Earth, looking for anything that might peak his interest enough to return to the surface. So far, he had found the Autobot base, months ago. He couldn't do anything though. With no army or back-up, should he attack, it would garantee his defeat. He could just as easily pull his own spark out.
But a small ping on his energon sensor was most interesting. It was tiny, only broadcasting 2 miles out from its origin. Either his sensors had malfunctioned, something he highly doubted, or there was a living sparkling.
Wanting to satisfy his curiosity, he descended to Earth.
Picking Sunbeam up, I spun a circle, lifting her up and down.
"Weeeee!" I said, smiling when she tried to do it back. Hers came out more like 'Wahhhh!' though. It was still cute. I stopped spinning when she got a little too heavy. I set her down on the ground, crouching in front of her.
"What next? Slide?" She shook her head and pointed at a nearby swing set. "Swings?" She giggled, clapped her hands and did this little stomping thing before running off like an aeroplane toward the swings. I laughed a followed her, feeling happy and energetic. She had a little bit of trouble getting into the seat, so I had to lift her up. I did up the little clip to make sure she didn't fall out. She loves going up high and hates staying on the ground for too long.
"Ready?" I asked, with no real need to. She was jumping and kicking, trying to swing herself. Smiling, I pulled her back and let go. She swung through the air while swinging her arms and legs like mad, giggling for everything she was worth. Everytime she swung back toward me, I'd gently push her and she go off giggling again. It was impossible to resist. After that we went on the slide, see-saw and rocking horse, but she always pulled me back to the swing in the end. When she was up on the wooden fort, she'd climb until she was up on top and I'd have to go up and get her.
"Higher?" I asked when we ended up on the swing again. I got a high pitched giggle meaning'yes' as my answer.
"Alright, but we go home after 5 more pushes ok?" The sun was just about in the middle of the sky, around luch time, and we had gotten there at around 9, so thats about 3 hours of playing.
"Weeeee!" I yelled, as I pushed her each time. She tried to do it back, but came out the same as before. After I had finally gotten her off the swing, she was tired. Picking her up, she rest her head on my shoulder with a tiny metal thumb in her mouth and eyes closed. I held one arm under her rear and the other I used to hug her close.
I cherished every moment with Sunbeam. She may not have been my biological child or the same species as me, but she was my daughter and I loved her.
"...and they lived happily ever after. The end." I said softly to a sleeping Sunbeam. She was in her cot in the nursery I had set up. She had an afternoon nap after we came home from the park and woke up after about an hour. After that we played games, colored in Mickey Mouse pictures, danced and watched tv. By the end of the day, I was surprised she was still awake.
I softly stroked her warm smooth head and smiled. She was adorable. It didn't matter that she was a robot. She was my daughter.
"I love you, Sunbeam." I whispered to her. "You are my child."
A quiet knocking at the front door of my tiny house startled me out of my tender moment. With a sigh, I tucked Sunbeam in and went to answer the door. Behind the heavy oak door was a man, maybe a little older than me. I couldn't see his eyes, as they were blocked by a pair of red lensed ray bans. His hair was interesting though. It was blue. I was kinda shocked. Smiling, I tried to get over my shock and find my manners.
"Can I help you?" I asked politely.
"Yes." He brought a hand up to his face and took away his sunglasses. Now that is most definitely shocking. Red eyes. I felt my mouth open and my eyes widen. "My name is Soundwave."
It's kinda like a cliffhanger, but not really. I don't know. Anyway, please review. I'm going to put a link up on my profile to a pic of Lainey and Sunbeam. I'll also put one of my version of Soundwave's holoform when I finish it.
