Primus' Hellscape Horrorland

Every Dog Has His Day

Keenan has a canine fur suit he takes around the city, cheering up children and simply having a good time with his friend, but everything changes when mysterious energy splashes on him during a visit to the infamous Allspark Tower.

-------------------------------

Keenan walked the park and while a few people gave him looks, the children he passed pointed with giant grins. He waved back to them, sometimes giving them a high five or stopping to take pictures. He looked like a cartoon character to them; a purple Australian Shepherd with black and blue patterns and a white underbelly certainly drew their attention against anything else in the park. Kids loved abnormally colored animals and so did he.

Several Cybertronians complimented his suit. He found that they were much more open about dressing like animals than humans were, which was somewhat ironic. Given half the Transformer populace had animal-based bots, it wasn't surprising.

The suit was expensive but worth it. The Australian Shepherd was his favorite dog, and he laughed inwardly that he found the breed became the talk among many in his neighborhood out of curiosity. Very few knew he chose it for a secondary reason as well. It was because of his mother's dog, Princess, whom he grew up with. The late Princess always had her royal purple bed; his mother loved to spoil that dog. He couldn't blame her.

"Starting without me?! Bad doggie!"

Keenan gave out a howling laugh as his partner-in-crime, Emma Lee, appeared on his left. In a white unicorn fur suit with a rainbow mane and tail, sparkling split hooves, rainbow cartoon eyes and a swirl-patterned horn, Emma Lee playfully jogged up and gave Keenan a high hoof-to-paw.

"And here I thought you wouldn't show up," Keenan chuckled. "You finally got the suit fixed! What was wrong with it?"

"Remember the night you and I went to May's place, and I fell through the balcony door?"

"Yeah?"

"Glass got embedded in it and I couldn't find all the pieces. Finally, I managed to but had to tear a portion of my suit in the back because the glass wasn't coming out no matter what I tried hence the patchwork," she said, showing him the backside where he noticed there was now a pink saddle patched in.

"That looks sick...but you know how the people here spread rumors and will think that's for-"

"Eh, not going to lie, one day I just might use it for that. My boyfriend would love it. Besides, I'm a big, sparkly goddamn unicorn! You think I give a shit now what others say?"

Keenan shrugged, "Good point."

"Exactly," Emma Lee said.

A few children and younglings approached in awe but the most gleeful was a little girl. Both Keenan and Emma Lee saw she had a unicorn backpack and the latter of the two crouched down.

"Hello!"

The little girl giggled and waved, "Hi, Un-e-corn!"

"My name's Emma. What's yours?"

"Mackenzie," the girl said swaying in place with her hands together.

Emma Lee bopped the kid gently on the head when she noticed the pink snow beanie she had, "Nice to meet you, Mackenzie."

As Emma Lee interacted with the girl, Keenan greeted a few of the other kids before he was met with a woman no older than 24 accompanied by a Toy Minicon of bright yellow. He expected the woman to be scoffing like most other adults did but instead she smiled.

"My daughter likes you guys. She's with your friend."

Keenan nodded, "Oh, yeah, kids love the colors and the suits."
