A/N Starting to get back into the grove of things. We just started the new term at my school, so now I have to get used to that. Ah well, here's the next chapter, video games with the Jettwins for Flower K. Owl. Enjoy.
Ch. 13 Button Mashing
One of the Army dudes at the base where the Autobots were staying finally had an epiphany. Keep the young 'bots entertained, and they won't trash the rest of the base. And how do you keep young 'bots entertained for an extended period of time? The same way you keep human kids preoccupied: video games.
"No way, you guys got a PS3?" I yelled at the sight of the gaming system. "And a new one at that! Oh, I bet it plays PS1 and 2 games too. This is sweet!" I began to ramble on about all the games I could play on the huge screen. It gained some unwanted attention from everybot in the Rec Room.
"What are you going on about?" Sideswipe asked.
I pointed to the gaming system that was under the giant TV screen, "The PS3 you guys got! Did you even notice it?"
Sideswipe squinted, and leaned forward a bit. "Huh, thought I saw something."
"So, you wanna play?" I asked eagerly.
"Eh, not right now. Sunshine and I were going to some close combat training. Maybe later?" With that, he turned away and left the room.
I stuck my tongue out at him. "Stick in the mud!" I yelled.
With my arms crossed, I looked around the room for a victim- er, partner. I stopped on the other pair of twins. "Hey, Storm! Fire!" I called to them.
They looked towards me and used their creepy twin-talk-in-unison, "Yes?"
"Wanna play?"
"I am not understanding point of game."
"Neither am I, Brother."
"Should we be asking human friend?"
"Dude, I'm right here," I inserted with a glare. It always grated my nerves when people talk about me as if I wasn't there. "And the point of the game is to kill the other players."
"Why?" Jetstorm asked.
"Because then you'll win."
"Win what?" the orange twin inquired.
"The game!"
"Oh… but why is winning game so important?"
Heaving a sigh, I put my hands on my face. "I don't know," I mumbled, "It's entertainment."
The twins exchanged a glance before concluding, "Humans are being very strange."
"Tell me about it," I muttered under my breath.
Why did I hang out with giant, alien robots again?
I don't think I'll ever find a good answer to that.
Paris seems to be rethinking her decision about who she hangs out with…hmm, foreshadowing perhaps?
'Pathways' chapter 1, is completely written out and just needs to be edited! Yay!
Please leave ideas in a review or PM me, because I want to keep this story going too! Thanks
