002 ✘ Video

[taselikeabee]

[ on screen there's a sleeping brittany pointer pup resting on what looks like is a nice, steely grey surface. probably because that would be Bumblebee's leg. poor Rex looks kind of small in comparison, especially since there's a big robot finger petting the sleeping puppy. ]

Finally! Little guy really doesn't know how to not be a little ball of energy. I don't know what Thundercracker was thinking when he decided he wanted him, but I've been taking care of Rex here since the big guy up and left.

[ actually, Thundercracker and the pup are really funny to watch, not that Bumblebee is going to say that. instead Rex just yawns and aww. isn't that a little heart warming. ]

...It's not really that bad.

[ so yeah. it really hasn't been that much of a chore. just exhausting. ]

So what kind of tricks should I teach him? ...Any tips on how I can wear him out faster would be nice too, I guess.

[ pup soon gets bored of that and trots over to Bee. seems to know what Rex wants, because Bee is flicking a ball that the puppy tears off after. ]

Yeah well I wasn't in your cockpit, now was I?

[ still grinning though. smug little... ]

Metalhawk... This is the most engaging you've ever been.

[pacifistaggressive]

[Metalhawk watches the action, finding it similar to Turbofoxes in some aspects. Although in Rex's defense, he's infinitely smarter than those things.]

Because I don't have one....yet.

[But his eyes widen, an eyebrow perking up (if he had one that is.)]

Maybe there's hope after all. I have been trying, like you asked.

[taselikeabee]

Yet, huh?

[ well that's interesting. but there's no one here that can do that sort of thing, now is there?

Rex trots back and drops the ball. Bee complies and re 'tosses' it. ]

I can tell. It shows.

[pacifistaggressive]

[Metalhawk watches. Seems like a trained Turbofox...in both body and attention span. Slightly more intelligent, though.]

Does it?

[He stands up, walking over to Bee and placing a hand on his shoulder.]

I had someone kick it into my head, after all.

[taselikeabee]

You should thank that person. Reward them with dinner some time.

[ because free food is the best, right? ]

[pacifistaggressive]

Is that how it goes?

[His head tilts, much like a bird in playful curiosity.]

Or are you just milking this?

[taselikeabee]

[ apologetic grin goes here. ]

Might be milking it. Just a little.

[ even doing the little pinchy sign. ]

[pacifistaggressive]

...Alright. I'll buy you dinner.



On one condition. It has to be vegetarian.

[taselikeabee]

...You say that and I was already fully prepared for that.

[pacifistaggressive]

Then it's a date.

[taselikeabee]

A date, huh? Just how much TV have you been watching when I haven't been around?

[ the pup comes back once more... and seems to want to settle in Bee's overly big lap. probably because he's warm. ]

[pacifistaggressive]

[That's when he holds up a hand, smiling.]

Only a little.

[Okay, a lot.]

But I've been reading too.

[taselikeabee]

Reading... [ squinting. ]

What have you been reading, Metalhawk?

[pacifistaggressive]

...




Novels.

[Suddenly very vague!]

[taselikeabee]

Metalhawk...

[ what kind of novels. suspicious! ]

[pacifistaggressive]

Novels.

[No way. He's not telling you!!]

[taselikeabee]

[ someone is being sneaky. Bumblebee just grins a little. ]

I could always find out in different ways.

[ hello. saboteur here. ]

[pacifistaggressive]

[BUMBLEBEE!]

Well written struggles of human life.

[taselikeabee]

What kind of struggles?

[pacifistaggressive]

.....






love.

[taselikeabee]

[ with a grin, Bee settles back against the tree. ]

Romance novels... Huh. Wouldn't pegged ya for the sort that would read 'em. Next thing I know you'll be looking into soap operas.

[pacifistaggressive]

[EVEN MORE SILENCE CONTINUES, as Metalhawk awkwardly lets a bird that's been hovering around him land on his finger, stroking it's stomach with the tip of his other.]


...


You should give them a try.

[taselikeabee]

Romance novels? I don't know. It's not really my thing.

[ that and he's not really going to understand them all too well. then again, a story is a story so who knows. somethings have to be able to transcend races, right? ]

[pacifistaggressive]

And soap operas.

[he's sort of dabbled in both, now. Don't even give him that face.]

[taselikeabee]

See, I've watched plenty of those. I have to more or less record what I miss when we're at work.
