[CLOSE UP on Sideswipe's dumb face. He's got his head propped up on his hands, lying on the floor of the observation deck, feet kicking in the air. Honestly, he just looks bored.]

Soooo...

What is there to do on this stupid ship? I mean, you guys don't even have the movie channels! Or like, video games, except on these comm things.

[He holds up a hand, shifting to rest on his other elbow. The hand is... moving like he's making it talk.]

But Sideswipe, there's a whole planet you could go hang out on! It's super cool with giant flying monsters!

Oh, yeah, I know. It's awesome. But, apparently, you make one lame choice and you're "grounded".

[Why yes there are air quotes.]

So what's a bot to do around here?

... Oh. I thought that was just... decoration. Like the designs on us bots. Is it seriously a scar?

[Because suddenly Sideswipe sounds a good 900% more interested in this. Which may or may not be a good thing.]

I mean, I guess, sometimes bots during the war couldn't be repaired and all, but... I just sort of thought humans were like us. Put the right parts back in and everything works out.

[He shifts a bit.]

Megatron. Basically, the one guy responsible for all those bots not being able to be repaired.

He killed half the planet. At least.

Wait, wait, hold it. You fight a war against a guy and then you let him ground you?

[A murderous droid murders other droids, but only reprimands others? Sure, makes a ton of sense.]

I'd say that's pretty kriffed "authority."

[~~He is the best influence.~~]

I didn't let him. He's ... scary, all right? I didn't fight the war, I just heard about it. And him.

[HUFF HUFF HUFF.]

[Waaaait what. Was that a swear. Oh man, did he just hear a swear?]

I mean, it's not like I'm going to listen... But still. Terrifying.

All the more reason not to listen to him. He doesn't get to make your decisions for you, right?

Right.

You wanna bust out with me?

[Let's take a moment to consider this. 1) he's just encouraged a giant droid to disobey orders. 2) The orders are dubious anyway. 3) Could the whales be rounded up and led to safety?]

Hells. Why not?

I'll get the rope.

[AW YEAH HECK YEAH, FINALLY A FRIEND WITH GOOD TASTE IN FUN.]

You're on.

...As long as I get to meet this guy who thinks he can ground you later, huh?

[Look, he looks out for his own, alright? Even if they are a good twice his height and wouldn't need the help.]

Oh, dude. You want his number?

Cause I don't think he knows about you yet. You prank-calling him would be like.

The best thing ever.
