2. Sleep
"Wow." Thundercracker said staring up at the house that Leigh had conjured up out of thin air. "How'd you do that?"
"Magic." Leigh replied and opened the door.
If TC thought the outside exterior of the house was shocking with it's yellow and orange colors, then the inside was even more impressive. "How can there be all this space?" he saw Leigh was about to open her mouth. "Magic, of course." This caused Leigh to roll her eyes.
"This is your room." Alex said pointing at a plain white door.
"How can you tell?" Thundercracker asked. Alex pointed up at the gold plating on the top with his name on it in black. "Oh."
"Bathroom is down the hall to the left. Kitchen is down the hall to the right. And the living room is at the end of the hall." Leigh pointed out each designated spot. "Any questions?"
"Yes." Thundercracker said. "My body is getting weaker, and my optics-er, eyes are getting heavy. What's that mean?"
"It just means you're tired." Leigh said.
"Tired?" Thundercracker questioned.
"Um, your body get tired after doing particularly exhausting activities and the quickest way to get enegized is to got to sleep." Leigh answered.
"Oh, recharge." Thundercracker nodded. "How do I sleep? When I recharge, my systems slow down and it's instant."
Leigh went cross-eyed and Alex shook her head. "I'll help you." Leigh said sounding resigned.
"Thank you Prima." TC looked over at Alex. "I don't really trust you not to kill me in my sleep."
Alex glared right back at him. "Well, I don't trust you really either, so I'll be waiting right outside the door."
"Fair enough." Leigh nodded and both of them went into the room.
"So what now?" Thundercracker asked sitting on the rather comfy berth.
"Well, lie down and relax every muscle in your body, close your eyes, and let yourself fall asleep." Leigh explained in a soft tone.
Thundercracker did as instructed and though the 'relax' bit was hard, the words of defence Leigh had spoken when she spared him from the Autobots rather than just handing him over rang in his head, and it was oddly comforting.
"TC?" Leigh called quietly and was answered by noisy snores. She smiled brightly and left the room, quietly closing the door behind her.
