Stepping out of the shower feeling refreshed. It had been a day since my sister and I had our rather embarrassing meeting with the Autobots and we were due to meet with them again this morning apparently to discuss our situation as we were now under their "protection" and were to be assigned guardians...something about how now we know of their existence we will be helpless if the Decepticons decide to target us.
Feh, I'll give them helpless. They should see me when I've had a migraine for nine days and have suffered sleep deprivation as a result. I'd show them a 101 ways to dismember a Decepticon with a blunt pencil. Yup. Not pretty. Its an avoid me at all costs unless you want to die slowly and painfully type situation.
Finally getting dressed and stepping out of my room I was glomped from behind by my sister.
"ahhhh you smell nice"
"Get off me", I growled, " Would you stop smelling me! Seriously how many times a day do you need to invade my personal space?"
"But you always smell nice"
"Thank you- Now get off! Its bad enough I always got the whole 'you smell really good' thing at work every single day but I don't need you to hang off me like a leech!"
"Fine, " Becca pouted as she let go of me.
"By the way we have to meet the Autobots like now. Have you had your shower yet?"
"No"
Breakfast?"
"No"
Have you done anything remotely productive this morning?"
"No"
"Well get a move on then! I'll tell the Autobots you're going to be late"
"Yeeessss Nat"
"Well," I grumble, " at least the Autobots aren't going to take any notice of how I smell"
Main command centre...
Fluffing my hair in an attempt to get it to dry I started to make my way across the large hangar to where all the Autobots with the exception of Bumblebee were gathered when suddenly...
*sniff sniff*
"What is that smell?"
*sniff*
"I detect mango, kiwi fruit, papaya and pineapple...*sniff* and a hint of jasmine, orange blossom and patchouli"
"Well whatever it is it smells good"
"Hmm yes rather sweet"
I stiffen and slowly start to walk backwards out of the room only to trip over a large yellow foot.
Looking up I saw Bumblebee. Dammit. There goes my chance of escape.
My fears only grew when Bumblebee apparently noticed the other Autobots sniffing the air and decided to do the same thing...and then look down at me...well shit, I thought as a sense of dread fell upon me.
I stifled a yelp as I am suddenly lifted into the air and 'examined' . I wince as Bumblebee draws me close to his face and sniffs my hair before running into the room and chirping excitedly to the other Autobots before passing me around for me to suffer the same treatment until at last I ended up in Prime's hands.
"Now we know what it was! This femme smells good"
"Yeah she don't smell like the soldiers do"
"Well its official- we're keeping this one"
"Alright men that's enough. We're here to decide a guardian for the femme and her younger co-creation remember?"
"Well as I am the oldest here the job should go to me!", declared Ironhide
"You already have a human Ironhide and so does Bumblebee"
"I believe I would be better suited to looking after the health requirements of this femme", stated Ratchet. I really, really hoped I wouldn't be given to Ratchet…..I like my junk food!
"Pick me Prime! Pick me!", Jazz shouted.
"Are you sure you're up to the job Jazz?"
"Aww come on man- that hurt!"
"Very well then Jazz, you shall be the guardian assigned to this femme"
I try not to gape in disbelief as the whole discussion went ahead without me and I was passed to Jazz.
"Well sweet-smellin' lil' lady looks like you and me are gonna be roomies now!"
Roomies! There goes my last shred of sanity! I can't believe I'm going to be sharing a living space with a giant metal alien.
At least my sister didn't witness what happened…and speak of the devil, she just walked in! I couldn't help but feel almost evil at the thought of who she was most probably going to be assigned to.
"Sorry I'm late. I had to have breakfast and a shower", my sister told the Autobots
"That is quite alright, you have not missed much", Prime replied, "we were just in the process of assigning you and your elder sister to a guardian"
"Ah, okay then, do I get the one with the big guns?"
"No, I'm afraid Ironhide is already the guardian of William Lennox and his family, you shall be left in the care of Ratchet"
"Alright then…wait..WHAT?!". HA! I knew it! My sister's days as a chronic chocoholic are numbered!
Becca squeaked as Ratchet picked her up and turned to leave. I grinned evilly at what I was about to do. I mean, I know she is my sister, but I cant help it!
"HEY RATCHET!", I shouted, "JUST SO YOU KNOW MY SISTER HAS A CHRONIC CHOCOLATE ADDICTION! HER STASH IS HIDDEN UNDER HER PILLOW!"
"NAT!", my sister screeched, "HE DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW THAT!"
"Thank you for informing me femme," Ratchet smirked, "I shall dispose of those unhealthy items immediately"
I looked up as I heard and felt my guardian chuckle.
"Now that 'lil lady wasn't very nice"
"What? I'm just making sure that Ratchet keeps my sister healthy"
"heh, sure ya were. Well whatever she did, I'll make sure not to annoy you"
"yeah you better not, or I'll sick Ratchet on you"
"Alrighty then. Hows about I show you your new digs?"
"Ok then. After you good sir"
You know…..maybe living here won't be so bad after all…..
