The Festival Of New

Inspired by: Is Something Wrong With Love? by Dragonmaster (Ao3)

Griffin Rock was completely silent.... Well.... Almost. It was the holidays and everyone was at the old warehouse on Donegal Street at the edge of town. It was where they had all of their celebrations, but this particular celebration was always the most fun and lively.

It was the Festival Of New, which happened on December 14th. This was celebrated because December 14th was when the first of the pilgrims had been born on the island. During this celebration one must fulfil a goal, create one, or experience something different or new.

On the night of the holiday there was always a huge party, which took place at the warehouse. Everyone came, dressed nicely. There was dancing, games.... Drinks. But most importantly.... There was family.

The Burns and The Greene family were the hosts of the party this year, and had decorated it to its perfection. Everyone had arrived early to help, and before 8:00 they had everything ready.

The bots would be there, in their smaller forms, but there nonetheless. They would stay outside, however, circling the warehouse. You couldn't be too careful, especially during the holidays.

Chief Burns was over by the punch with his family, and Doc Greene, conversing about the bots.

" How many of them do you suppose are out there, Chief?" Asked Doc. The scientist was always curious about the bots and where they came from.

" We don't know, not even Optimus knows. There are definitely others out there besides the the team and Team Prime."

" There are two new bots to Optimus' Team," piped up Graham," Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus, he said they were. Ultra Magnus is the commander of the wreckers..... Or what's left of them..... Bulkhead and Wheeljack."

" Oh! How interesting," said Doc with a nod.

" Yeah! And I've met Wheeljack. He's a great bot," said Kade, joining the conversation.

" No... He's too wild. I like Ultra Magnus," contributed Dani with a twinkle in her eye.

And I like Chase, thought Charlie. He drifted over to the window and looked out into the night. He'd tried to get the bots into the warehouse but the mayor had protested. Only if he had known their true selves.

" Hey Dad! Who do you think is cooler?" Kade's voice entered his thoughts and the policeman came back to Earth.

" Uh... What? Oh. I don't know....They're both pretty cool."

" Eh... You're no help," said Kade with a dismissing gesture. The group went back to talking, Chief on the edge of the conversation, doing his best to keep up with it while thinking to himself.

There was a tap on the window, and he looked at it out of the corner of his eye. Nothing.

It came again. A single tap against the window. He turned his head to it and saw nothing.

And again there was a tap. This time he went to the window and looked down. There, was a human sized version of Chase, a pebble in his hand and a pleading look on his face. When the bot saw him his expression changed to that of delight, causing Chief to smile.

" Hey Dad. Whatchu lookin at?" Asked Kade. He started to come over but Charlie blocked the window.

" I-I'm going out to get some air," he said before walking as fast as he could out the door without causing suspicion.
