Meeting You

Pigsty

*Pigsty*

November 4th

Jump City, California

Titan's West Tower

It was late morning, approximately 10:30am. The sky was dark with grayish clouds moving rapidly across the sky; ready to rip open and send rain gushing down to the surface of the earth. It was just another indication that they were well in the middle of the cold fall season. And a thunderstorm was fast approaching with flood warnings.

"Well don't you fellas look comfy," Bumblebee said, walking into the Ops room, "It has only been three days. Y'all better get your butts up; this tower ain't going to clean itself." She folded her arms across her chest.

To say that the tower looked like a pigsty would be an understatement. The TV was still running with the volume on low to give background noise, scenes of The Maze Runner occasionally flashed, and brightened the room. The coffee table was cluttered with empty soda cans and a stack of napkins, along with food that didn't make it to their mouths. The couch had stains on it from their greasy and sauce covered hands from the pizza. Crumbs were wedged between the cushions and littered the carpet with crumpled napkins. Even small pieces of food were crusted to the floor.

"Five more minutes won't kill ya." A muffled voice that belonged to Speedy said.

Blankets were spread out on the couch and floor since the four boys had decided to camp out in the living room. Bumblebee stared at the kitchen and in a second she wished that she hadn't. The sink was piled high with filthy dishes; more like mount grime. It would've put Mount Everest to shame. The woman wondered how on earth it was possible to have used that many dishes in such a short period of time. Bumblebee stepped around the clutter and flipped the light switch on.

"Up, now." She demanded, she smiled as the light was blinding to the four boys that were sprawled on the couch and floor.

Aqualad groaned before removing his arm from over his eyes, "Fine, mom." He retorted, saying something that was out of character. The black haired man knew he couldn't argue with her alone and expect to win.

Bumblebee glared at him before moving till she faced the U-shaped couch with her back to the plasma screen. "It's a pigsty, and it's starting to smell." She wrinkled her nose. Then she adjusted the sleeves of her yellow sweater, the tower was on the chilly side that late morning.

"They won't be back in like four days." Speedy mumbled as he pulled a dark blanket over his head that now hid his whole body from view. "Calm down, you'll give yourself a brain aneurysm."

The demanding woman marched over and yanked the blankets off of the remaining three boys. Each of them had flinched due to being exposed to the chill.

"Lo único que quiero es dormir. All I want is sleep." Mas complained as he sat up in just his red pajama bottoms. He then wiped the sleep out of his eyes.

It took a few shoves to get Menos up and moving and he threw his hands out for Bumblebee to leave him alone. "Basta. Vete! Stop it. Go away!"

"Yeah and all I want is for this tower to be clean." Bumblebee said.

Quite slowly, each of them shuffled out the Ops room to change and wash up. The brown skinned woman groaned, her eyes surveyed the room once more. For some reason, the boys thought they could bend the tower rules here instead. They should've been used to Bumblebee's rules and expectations by now.
