*Com-Link*
Orion Pax leaned back against the wall, and watched the clock impatiently.
Orion had been waiting for his friend for almost half a Joor. Ratchet had warned him that he wouldn't be on time, but he hadn't said that he would take THIS long!
*Hey! Orion, what's taking you two so long? We're getting bored over here!* Jazz muttered over their com-link.
Orion sighed. *Tell that to Ratchet!* The door behind Orion creaked open. *Never mind. He's here.*
*Just hurry up will you? My aft is getting numb sitting here like a space rock on a windless planet.*
"Sorry I'm late... But I ran in to a few... complications." Ratchet stepped out of the large glass doors leading to the halls in the Iacon Medical Edifice.
Something in Ratchet's voice sparked Orion's natural curiosity. "What kind of Complications?"
Ratchet was silent for a few Astrosecond. "Well... There's a patient..." The young surgeon shook his head as if to clear away troubling thoughts. "Let's talk about this when we get to the café."
Orion nodded. "Okay."
The two walked out the door in to the streets of Iacon. The lanes were as crowded as ever.
Ratchet came to a stop next to him. "Are we walking, or are driving?"
Orion shrugged. "We'd get there faster if we drive. We're already late."
"Hmm... All right." Ratchet said, transforming, and zipping on to the road. The two friends weaved through the streets, and pretty soon rounded the corner to their favorite place to hang out.
Orion transformed first, Ratchet quickly fallowing.
They stepped in to the café, and looked around.
It was a relatively small and quite place, decorated a cheerful variety of colors. Red, Yellow and Black banners hung above the windows, and a little bar ran along the far wall. Everywhere else where tables, lots of tables, even though it was never crowded.
By the windows near the back sat Jazz, Prowl, Ironhide, Elita-One, Chromia and Ironhide's pet wolf bot Atka.
Orion and Ratchet sat down.
"So, Ratchy, why were you so late? Did you fall asleep during work again?" Ironhide and Jazz teased.
Ratchet, instead of snapping at him, which he normally did, just sat quietly for a moment. "Well..."
Chromia smiled kindly. "It's okay; you can tell us what happened."
The other bots nodded. Ratchet glanced down at the menu.
"Well," Ratchet said. "It all started this morning..."
Please let me know what you think! I hope this lived up to your expectations. If not, let me know how to improve the next chapter. Also If you want to suggest anything, feel free to do that XD
~ Till next time, Till all are one.
