Catherine

The tarp was whipped off Breeze the next morning with flourish. "Hello, Starshine! The Moon says hello!" Alexa cheerfully stated. Breeze blinked sleepily. She had had a good rest that night. Now what was this human going on about starshine and the moon talking?

The human had that electronic device she had been pointing at Breeze yesterday held to her ear, and was laughing. "Yeah, yeah I told you already! Ok, sorry. No, I'm going to work now... I can drive too! I won't crash it," she seemed to be talking into the device, and someone could faintly be heard answering back. Apparently that device was used to talk on. Too bad Breeze's internet was down; otherwise she would have looked it up. Youbetyouwon'tcrashme.Iwouldn'tletyou.

"...No. No. At the pet store. Yeah, I'm their dog whisperer. They love me," She laughed. "Ok. Yeah, love you too. Bye," she got in the drivers seat, poked at the screen of the phone, and put it in a bag she had brought with her. "Ok. Let's wreck havoc," she muttered and started up Breeze.

Breeze sighed inwardly and kept quiet. How she wished she had her internet running. What was a dog? And why did one whisper to it? OnlyConswreckhavoc,organic.

Alexa turned up her ridiculous music and pulled away; unaware of how much she was confusing her car. Soon she was out on the road and driving off to who-knows-where. Breeze was quickly tired of the strange music and flipped the radio to her favorite station with pop and some rock. She relaxed as the song flowed into her audios.

"Excuse me, glitch..." Alexa muttered and put her radio station back to where it was before. Breeze growled. Whodoyouthinkyou'recallingaglitch?She flicked the radio to her station, annoyed. Alexa flicked it back. Iknewtherewasareasontheywerehandingoutfreecars...

Breeze growled again, but realized that the human didn't know. I'mstillnotlisteningtothisjunk.She decided to go to some music that fit her mood.

"Well you think that you can take me on, you must be crazy. There ain't a single thing you've done that's gonna phase me. Oh, but if you want to have a go, I just want to let you know… Yeah get off of my back and into my game!"

Alexa stared at the radio. "Is that how you want to play...?" she asked quietly. She grinned and flipped the station to something new. "Hey oh, listen what I say oh. I got you're hey oh, now listen what I say oh..." Then she turned it onto a pop station again. Breeze flipped it back to her own station. Idon'ttakeordersfromyouhuman.I'mnotgoingtolistentoyourscrap.

Alexa turned the station back again. She was stubborn, and didn't give up easily. "I know, it's only rock and roll, but I like it, like it, yes I do!"

"Ha," she said, dryly. Breeze turned to her station, and then locked the station. Alexa wouldn't be able to change the station any more, and Breeze would be able to listen to her own music. Ha.

Unfortunately, Breeze hadn't calculated how much button pressing that would cause. Alexa kept pressing the buttons, and when that failed, started pressing everything else. By the time they reached the pet store, Breeze had her windshield wipers going, as well as the air conditioner, and a few seats were in different positions then before.

Breeze scowled. Humans were so stubborn. Andstupid,she thought as she stopped the windshield wipers and fixed the seats. Right about then, she could have used some advice from a fellow Autobot. Now she would have to sit in the parking lot all day. Alone.

Alexa stared at all the things that had just mystically corrected themselves. "Ok, Catherine. Just... stay here. And think about what you did or something," she huffed and walked away, feeling mildly more insane then usually, and wondering if Catherine was the right name for the possessed car in the book she had read. She entered a store to the left of Breeze, and that was that.

Breeze snickered inwardly. On the other hand, maybe this could be fun. Well,ifIhavetohaveahumanname,IsupposeCatherineisn'ttheworst. She settled down to wait for the girl and promptly took a stasis nap.

Several hours later, Alexa came back out holding a stick. She used it to prod at the drivers side door of what she decided was Satan's Corvette. "Wake up, Catherine," she muttered. Breeze woke up and sighed inwardly. Sillyhuman.Idon'tbite.Well,exceptforCons.

Alexa watched Breeze carefully for awhile. When she didn't move or do anything she decided it was safe to get in. "Mkay, Catherine. We're going to the beach. It's been a freakishly long day, and I'm hoping a priest will be down there with some holy water," she told Breeze with a somewhat irritated tone. Breeze stayed quiet, amused. She decided to behave after this morning. She hadn't appreciated the rude awakening, but it wasn't Alexa's fault she had a living car. Breeze was ready to see if she could get used to the strange music Alexa liked.

Alexa stayed quiet for the entire drive to the building she lived at though, and didn't touch the dial. Dang things busted, she had reasoned. No use screwing around with it. Maybe she could have a mechanic look at it sometime. She parked Breeze in the shade, and then walked into the building.

Breeze relaxed. That had gone easier than expected, but that didn't mean there weren't going to be more problems. She frowned at the thought.

Alexa walked out of the building again a few moments later, somewhat calmer. She had left the bag she had with her earlier inside, and had changed into a different pair of clothes. She flopped down on the driver's seat of the corvette and sighed. "You know... it's sad when you're so lonely you talk to your possessed car..." she trailed off and pulled away again, heading off to whatever a beach was.

Breeze stayed quiet, but became thoughtful. Her human seemed to have more going on in her processor than she let show. I'm not possessed, but I can't let you know that unless absolutely necessary. She only hoped the Cons wouldn't scramble her cloaking device.

Alexa drove around in silence for a long time before finally figuring out where the beach was. She parked Breeze in a nice, sunny spot to avoid a nasty bird related disaster and hopped out to wander around in the sand and listen to all the people surrounding her. She had always found that comforting, the sounds of people going about with life. She absolutely hated silence, almost to the point of it being ridiculous. There always had to be some noise around, or she got nervous and jittery.

Breeze relaxed, but kept her sensors up on high. It wouldn't do to be caught by surprise. Just then, a man sidled up beside Breeze peering around, and acting rather sneaky. Breeze frowned. She didn't like the looks of the man, though she figured him to be rather attractive on human terms. Piercing cold blue eyes and dark hair and a strong face peeked into her window.

Alexa happened to glance over that way about then. She hesitated before walking up quietly behind the man and watching to see what he would do. She made sure to be extremely quiet and tried not to let her shoes make to noise. Hopefully he was just checking the car out and would go away soon.

The man carefully tried the door, muttering to himself about cars being easy to steal these days. He tried to open Breeze's door with a key he had on his key ring. Breeze decided enough was enough. She suddenly slammed her door open, knocking the man to the ground, and then quickly shut her door. Wrong car to pick on, organic. The man stared at the car from the ground, pale.

Alexa yelped on impulse, and dodged away. Nice to know the car could take care of itself she supposed. "Uh... s...sir?" she asked tentatively, making sure to keep a fair distance between her and the wannabe thief. The man quickly got up, hurrying off. He muttered something about Satan's corvette. Breeze almost snickered out loud, but caught herself and stayed silent. Stupid, stupid organic.

Alexa sighed in relief. She hated confronting people, for any reason, and how awkward would that conversation have been? So I see your stealing my possessed car! She snickered and decided that it was time to go home. She wasn't having a good time out in the world today, so maybe she should just stay home.

Breeze grinned. At least the human seemed happier and less irritated. She seemed to have had a bad day. I'll have to report in to Prime when the human is off in her little...home? Whatever that building is she went in last night.

Alexa grinned as she got in the corvette, pulled away, and finally dared to touch the dial on the radio. What else could go wrong? Touch the dial and I blow something up? Breeze let Alexa mess with the dial and relaxed. The music wasn't that bad, but it still wasn't her favorite. Breeze put her scanners on high.

Alexa relaxed as well. Satan's corvette was feeling merciful. She sighed, relaxing as the music played. Nothing worse could happen today. Nothing. Her luck usually held for a good month before falling apart.

Breeze kept watching. The human seemed comfortable, but Breeze didn't like what her scanners were starting to pick up. Another Con or Bot was nearby. She could feel it.
