27th Transmission / 4th Wall Day~

[heavyweaponsbot]

... why is everyone suddenly watching films? And why is it loud on board?

What happened this time?

HE ALWAYS IS

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[And of course, what does Bumblebee do?

"Cry." Or at least, his adapted form of it.]

GOOD.

[heavyweaponsbot]

What--stop that! Going to get me--ugh! Wet!

[Now he shoves at him, swearing in words best left unprinted.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

['Bee cuts it out, shoulders shaking with repressed laughter. Oh Ironhide, you are too easy. You really are.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[The laughing's better than the worrying, at least. He reaches over to bonk 'Bee on the head - lightly!]

Yeah, yeah... laugh. Go on. Laugh at my rusting old armor.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[Bumblebee does a quick scan before pinging Ironhide on their shortwave frequency (of course, "shortwave" for Autobots makes walkie-talkie distance look like a bad joke) to "speak" that way.]

I'm sorry, I'll stop. You really don't need help on the rusting front, do you?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He shrugs, covering the hole with a hand. There's a pause, while he makes sure 'Bee's finished talking over the frequency.]

You, unlike some, are allowed to get away with a few rust jokes. And, with Ratchet around, everything is fine...

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

I don't mean them anyway. You're the toughest Autobot alive. [Even without an actual tone of voice, he's just DRIPPING with hero-worship.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Not tougher than Optimus... Hm? [Nudges him with an elbow - no one's as tough as Prime, 'Bee.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

Well, obviously. [Optimus is in a totally different class than the rest of them. He meant out of anyone that isn't a godly Prime.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Knew you were a smart one. ['Bee it is so good to see you. You have no idea.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

It is one of my primary functions. [To be an insufferable smart aleck.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

What? You mean crying was not? [Oh you're hilarious, Ironhide.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

That's my secondary, but the insinuation hurts my feelings. I might have to prioritize.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... That was a joke, Bumblebee. You were supposed to laugh.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

I was joking back with you. You're supposed to laugh.

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

I knew that. I was... testing you. You know. Testing.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Of course.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... [You know what, 'Bee? Robot noogies. You're getting them.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[NO FAIR YOU'RE BIGGER

Bee struggles half-heartedly.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[ALL IS FAIR IN THIS GAME, 'BEE.

He lets go after a moment of struggling, smirking.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[Bumblebee straightens himself out, pretending to set his armor right.] ...you're still pretty tough for such an old 'bot.

[heavyweaponsbot]

If I did not have a hole in my chest, I would show you just how tough this old frame still is.
