Quick note, I'm adding a new thing to the story. (Not actually sure if this is new, but I'm to lazy to check back on the other chapters. c:) So further down, there is one point where we see Evelyn's thoughts in Italics and in that case the rest of the team are also able to hear her thoughts. It is not addressed in this chapter, but in the next they will acknowledge it. Just so you all know.
Kay! Don't forget to review and tell me what you think. Tell me if this chapter if up to snuff, cause I'm not quite sure about this one. That and I love to hear form you. (Wow I sound desperate.) *crunches discounted Valentines day candy* I'm not desperate!
Okay I'm done. Promised a short note.
See you in the next!
The scene shifted again, to Eve sitting on a couch like apparatus, data pad in hand. It looked like she was just finishing up with the pad Megatronus had given her. No one really had anything to say. Everything that was going on was just, so strange. No one was sure what was going to happen. Not even Ratchet was sure anymore. A lot of interactions between Evelyn and Megatronus had had with each other had happened without Ratchet and Eve hadn't confined in him what had happened. He remembered Eve telling hims a very abbreviated version, but that was it. This was a very strange thing to experience. Seeing all that had happened that Ratchet hadn't been able to change. It was, eye opening for the old Mech.
Eve put down the pad and turned to her monitor, typing in some numbers. She seemed to hesitate for a moment. But eventually after seeming to beat some unknown struggle, she finished her typing and the screen turned blue, then there was a beeping sound. And then the screen shifted to the smiling face of Megatronus.
"What a familiar sight for me. From my nightmares!" Miko nudged Jack who laughed a little at her joke.
"I so know what you mean." Arcee glared at the two teens, shushing them as the two bots began talking.
"Hello there Miss Pax. Thank you for being able to contact me this late. I do apologize for the inconvenience to you but it is truly helpful to me." Eve smiled genuinely at him.
"Well that is alright. I don't mind doing this. I have sent you the edited version of your speech. I took the liberty of doing some more research for you and found some quotes from different parts of History that I thought might give your speech some more political weight. The edits are in red and can be changed back if you don't think they work." Megatronus was shaking his head.
"No, no, no. This is perfect. This has really helped and I think what you added has really made this speech better. So thank you for that. This has really helped and I think will add a lot of credibility to my speech. You are a brilliant as you are beautiful." Eve felt her cheeks turn blue. She didn't know why he though she was beautiful, but if she thought about it, she didn't mind much.
"Well like I said, it's the least I can do. And I hope you are able to achieve your goal of becoming a Senator. You deserve it at this point." Evelyn gave him a shy smile.
"I only wish others saw what you see. Speaking of, are you doing anything tomorrow?" Eve furrowed her brow, confusion clear on her face. "Oh, I mean. Well, I was just wondering if you would be my, well, guest to the campaign dinner after, the speech's." Megatronus was giving her his best smile, hoping she would say yes. Team Prime just wanted the awkward to stop. Seeing Optimus getting asked out on a "date" by Ratchet was weird and awkward enough. But this, was really, really out there.
"Uh, well. I am unsure. I have never been to, well anything like that. I'm not sure how well I would fit in. I'm just an archivist. Not a senator. I just don't know." Eve looked away from her screen. Megatronus seemed a bit confused by her sudden show of insecurity. It was different.
"Surly you have been to conventions and the like. After all, you are in the most prominent city in all of Cybertron, not to mention a very high ranking archivist. Surly you have been to something like this?" Eve shook her head. This was all so new. So surreal to her. She really didn't know what to do, and wished she could talk with Alfa Prime. He might be able to make some sense of all this.
"Well, not really. I'm more the behind the sense sort of person. I like doing the research and finding the truths for others to speak. I watch others on the media screens at work saying the things I have found. I prefer that sort of job. So I'm not sure I would like going." Megatronus nodded his head, taking in all she was saying.
"I totally get what you are saying, and respect your feeling. But,... I would really really like you to come." Megatronus gave Eve a cheeky smile, and once again she had to duck her head to hide her blush. It was weird for a mech to show her this type of attention. "So, because of that, i need you to tell me what I have to do to get you to come with me. Anything at all, you name it, and I will do it." Eve smiled sadly at the silver mech on the screen.
"How about you give me a day or two to think about this. And then I will let you know. How's that sound?" Megatronus smiled brightly.
"Alright my lady. You may tack as long as you want. I want you to be comfortable with this and, maybe want to do this again." Miko felt her stomach flip, and from the look on her friends faces, theirs had done the same thing. This was super gross, and Miko just wanted this all to end.
"I, might even like that. And I will, call in about two days with my answer, so I will talk to you then."
"I look forward to that. Goodnight and I hope you rest well." Megatronus bowed his head and then ended the call. Eve took a moment, letting out a huge sigh as she threw herself back onto her bed.
How had this happened? Nothing like this ever happened in real life. Only in the cinema's did something like this happen. It must be a joke. Who can I talk to? No one is really that close to me. Except Alpha Prime. But how awkward would that be to ask about maybe dating advice. So that also means no one at work. Wait. Not someone I work with regularly. That means...
"Ratchet! I can talk to Ratchet! He can help!"
