I'm back! Sorry about the absence...had a long few weeks irl. Lots of stuff going on!
Anywayyyyyy enjoy!
As the group neared the end of their trip, the night had settled in and the sky was pitch black. The faint starts twinkled, giving little beams of light through the darkness. They had spent the time driving to share stories and their new experiences on Earth. Nova knee deep down they all missed their home. Who wouldn't? As each told stories of the good old days, their voices couldn't help but be edged in sadness and the story always ended in a quiet, sad sigh. Her spark ached for them. She didn't know how long exactly they've been here, but they've definitely been away from their home a lot longer. Even though she was struggling, she still was able to be on their home planet.
Eventually, they stopped on a small cliff side, overlooking a dirt road. Underneath the small bridge sat a small group of humans and their cars. The headlights lit up the area and a few seconds later two cars tore off into the distance, racing. Nova hummed softly, her engine purring. She was ready for a race. Bulkhead interrupted her thoughts :Nova, you and Bee can go. Arcee and I will stay and watch, we aren't exactly built for speed... well she is.. just not against racers... we will keep an eye out for the human law.: Arcee chimed in :Remember. This kind of racing is illegal in the human world so if you see any reds and blue lights with sirens, get out of there: Nova pulled forward a bit : sounds good. Give me a comm if you need anything. C'mon Bee:
She rolled over the edge, driving down the dirt hill towards the group. Bee pulled up beside her happily, excitement radiating from him : It's been so long since I've raced. These guys put up a good fight: Nova laughed softly and the two pulled up beside the group, catching the humans attention. Most turned to look and a few of the males nodded. A large well-built man walked over, his hair slicked up and his whole body covered in tattoos "well well well. The mysterious yellow camaro returns. And you've brought a friend. A pretty friend at that. " he and a few others stepped over to Nova, circling her form and admiring her "I'm surprised you brought a show car out to race. I mean. All our cars are show worthy, but definitely not in the same bracket. " he tapped on her windows, her tint too dark to see into "You the silent type too?" A moment of silence broke the air before he shrugged "guess so. We'll add you two in. Have fun. Don't get caught"
Nova sighed :I didn't think about not having a holoform. At least I could pretend to be human: Bees engine revved a little :Nah don't worry about it. I've been doing this for a while and so far so good. Maybe Ratchet could help us out with that: She backed up a bit, putting herself in park : How do I know what is the race track and what's normal road?: Bumblebee pulled up, doing the same : since you're a first timer they'll tell you. Basically look for the red buckets they set up: She watched as a bright red mustang lined up, ready for its partner. The tattooed man motioned over to her "blue challenger. You're up!" She gave a hard swallow then drove up
"here goes nothing"
Sorry to cut this one short, I'll make the next one long! Promise!
