Can You Hear Me?
Word Count: 198
I wish I could say that I handled the situation in a professional manner. I should have straightened my spinal struts, looked the girl directly in the eye, and announced my new dominance in the garage. Maybe even thrown in a threat for some intimidation points.
But I'm not a Vehicon designed to think that quickly. Instead I channeled my inner idiot. I transformed back into my vehicular mode and sat perfectly still. Maybe she hadn't noticed anything odd…
"Oh." I rolled back a little as Riley placed a hand on her hip. "We're gonna play that game, huh? Let's just pretend the little girl didn't just see a fifteen foot tall robot standing in her garage. Really?"
Yes. Now follow the script little squishy!
Instead, Riley stepped up to knock against my hood. "Hello? Giant robot-car-man? Can you hear me in there?"
Just play it cool. She didn't see nothing.
"This isn't cool Jeffrey!" I remained perfectly still as she attempted to make me budge. "You can't hide from me. I saw you!"
"What on earth are you doin' girl?"
I stayed still as Riley's dad dragged her away for the day. That was a great first impression.
