"Hello" Cybertronian talking.
"Hello" Talking through the bond.
Rebecca's POV
I was sat beside 'Hide when I needed to relieve myself, now I've never had or been a dog before, so I'm not sure where to do my 'business'. I sniffed around and came to some sort of metal post, ooh this'll do. I crouched a bit and relieved myself, too bad I didn't realise I was peeing on my Bondmate's foot.
Optimus' POV
I felt something warm trickle down my foot...oh Primus, don't tell me one of the animals is urinating on me. I looked down and saw it was Becky, my Bondmate...charming "Ew Becky" I groaned and gently picked her up, I gently tapped her nose "no peeing on me"
If puppies could pout, Becky was doing that right now. And let me tell you it looks adorable considering she's a puppy, aw how can I be cross at a cute face like that? I smiled and stroked her.
Becky wagged her tail and licked my cheek making me chuckle.
Jade's POV
Later that day I was doing all the things a cat would do, clawing the walls, curtains, carpets, and marking my territory. Ah this is great, I can get used to this.
"Oh Jadey" Jazzy said and walked over to me, he gently picked me up "ya don't scratch everything ya see...or mark your territory, I'll have ta get ya a litter box"
I just meowed innocently.
Jazzy chuckled "C'mon, let's make you a litter box" he said and walked up the hallway.
Trojan's POV
I should be a wolf more often, you don't have to worry about doing your business outside and you have less things to worry about, I was sat under the oak tree watching my sons. They were attempting to jump on their hind legs, it was one of 'Steel's random ideas, it was amusing to watch.
'Hide got onto his hind legs, he managed one jump before falling flat on his back. He laughed through the bond, he's fine.
'Steel playfully pounced on his brother and licked his chest.
'Hide kicked his hind legs as he laughed through the bond.
I smiled inwardly, despite them being adults, they still have their Sparkling innocence. I sensed 'Osi near and I looked up at the branch above me, she was sitting on the branch watching the boys play, she looked at me and swished her tail in greeting. I lifted a paw in greeting and looked back at my sons who had finished their little tickle war, they trotted back to me.
Osiris' POV
It was adorable watching the boys play, they still have their Sparkling innocence which is great.
'Hide spotted me in the tree and put his front paws on the tree, he wagged his tail, aww.
I smiled inwardly and jumped off the branch, I landed beside him.
'Hide wagged his tail and he licked my head.
I purred and nuzzled the side of his head.
'Hide wagged his tail.
'Steel nuzzled me and wagged his tail as he panted happily.
I smiled inwardly and nuzzled the side of his head, the three of us lay down with Trojan.
Ratchet's POV
Who would have thought it would be so difficult to keep an optic on a puppy? Becky kept nibbling things and peeing and pooping everywhere, she's already used Optimus' foot as a toilet and it still smelt off dog wee. Then I had an idea, puppy mats! Why didn't I think of that? "I know what'll solve our puppy problem, at least one of them" I said with a smile.
Optimus looked up from where he sat on the floor with Becky "What?" he asked.
"Puppy mats" I replied with a smile "it's where puppies do their 'business', I should have some somewhere, I'll go check" I walked out of Optimus' quarters.
Optimus' POVI
How did we not think of puppy mats in the first place?
Ratchet soon returned with a few puppy mats and placed them on the floor "Now Becky, you do your business on the mats ok?" he said.
I don't think Becky knew what Ratchet meant, because I have a rug on my side of the berth that's blue, and...well Becky peed on it.
"Oh Becky!" I groaned "Ratchet said the mat, not my rug"
"Oooh" Becky said through the bond and went over to the mat, she pooped on it, thank Primus she didn't on my rug. But now it smelt of dog pee so I had to wash it, when she finished her 'business' she trotted off the mat, she shook herself.
Rebecca's POV
I started to get hungry, and Ratch was the one who said he'd feed us all, so I went over to Ratch and nibbled his foot.
Ratch crouched down and stroked my head.
I don't mind being stroked, but I'm hungry, so I nibbled his finger.
"Ah-ah, no nibbling my finger" Ratch said.
I barked, c'mon get the message! I'm hungry! I nibbled his foot.
Optimus' POV
Becky did a lot of nibbling on poor Ratchet, but I could see she was trying to tell him something "Becky what're you trying to say" I said softly through the bond.
"I'm hungry!" Becky moaned through the bond.
So that's why she's nibbling Ratchet, he said he would feed all the animals so that's why she's targeting him "Ratchet, she's nibbling you because she's hungry" I said with a smile.
Ratchet's POV
Ah, that's why she's nibbling, I smiled "Alright c'mon Becky" I said.
Becky barked and wagged her tail as she followed me to the kitchen.
Jade's POV
After marking my territory on Sideswipe's wheel he had placed me outside, it was funny seeing the look on his face. I saw daddy, granddad, uncle 'Steel and 'Osi sitting under the tree together and smiled inwardly. Then I saw a bird, ooh a bird! I decided to chase it.
Trojan's POV
The four of us were relaxing when we heard the sound of food being poured into a bowl, 'Hide and 'Steel both perked up, so did me and 'Osi. We were hungry, so we got up and ran inside.
Ratchet's POV
I saw 'Hide, 'Steel, Trojan and 'Osi run in, the three wolves wagged their tails and 'Osi swished her tail. I smiled and got 'Osi her cat food, I poured it into a bowel and she dug in.
Now the wolves, maybe they can try the dog food, I got the dog food and three bowls. I put them on the floor and poured dog food into the three of them, as soon as I moved away they soon dug in, wait a minute...where's Jade? "Have any of you seen Jade?" I asked, despite them being in their animal forms they could still understand what we were saying.
'Hide finished his food first and looked up, if wolves could frown, he was doing that right now "I'll go and find her" he said to me through the bond and ran out.
Ironhide's POV
Once I was outside I sniffed the air to see if I could sense Jadey, thank Primus I could, she was in the woods. I ran into the woods and found her asleep next to a small rabbit hole, judging by how it looked it's abandoned, bless she must have wanted to try hunting. I walked over to her and gently nuzzled her.
Jadey shifted a little and stretched as she woke up, she blinked sleepily and looked up at me "Daddy?" she asked though the bond.
I nodded through the bond "Yeah it's me" I replied softly through the bond "food's ready"
Jadey blinked and got up, she walked with me back towards the base, as we walked she saw a squirrel and went to go after it.
"Jadey leave the squirrel alone" I said softly through the bond "once you've had your food we'll go hunting together"
Jadey's ears perked up "Really?" she asked through the bond with a smile.
I smiled and nodded through the bond "Really" I replied through the bond "now c'mon"
Jadey swished her tail happily and we both ran back to base.
