Life's New Adventures and Secrets

Chapter 28

Bumblebee sighed as he looked at the movie list, "Why does this have to be hard? I've fought Decepticons and helped save the planet and this is what gets me stumped," he muttered.

"How about Oliver and Company for the sparklings?" Fixit suggests.

Bumblebee looked at the cover, "Isn't that based on the book called Oliver?"

"Yes, made for kids."

Looking at the cover he could see several dogs and a cat on a taxi, with a creepy human in the background, "You sure it's made for kids?"

"Pretty sure. It's from Disney the most popular kids movie making company on this planet."

"Wasn't the last movie made by Disney?"

"Yep, and they have some good movies for children and adults," Metalsound chipped in.

"Hey, Metalsound. How are you doing?" Bumblebee inquires.

"I'm awesome. Having trouble picking a movie?"

"Yeah, I suggested Oliver and Company but the lieutenant doesn't seem to like it."

"It's a good movie, trust me. I've seen it so many times that I've lost count."

"I don't know."

"Why do you not like it?"

"Because it's based on that book Oliver and I've read that book, the story just doesn't seem like something for kids."

"The Lion King was based on Hamlet. Trust me Disney is good at keeping these stories kid-friendly."

"How is The Lion King based on Hamlet?"

"I think it was more similar to it. I never read Hamlet."

"I thought the movie was based on the wildlife in Africa."

"It's a little bit of both."

"OK, we have the kid's movie, now for the adults," Fixit brought up a list for the adults.

"Any suggestions, Metalsound?" Bumblebee asked.

Metalsound's optics were glued on one of the movies, "Have you guys noticed how close Razorclaw and Soundwave have been getting?"

"Yeah. What about it?"

Metalsound grinned in a slightly disturbing manner, "I have the perfect movie for them," she pointed at the movie.

"The Phantom of the Opera, nice choice."

"It's an awesome movie, another one of my favorites," she says with excitement, "I'll try to control myself when we watch it."

Bumblebee and Fixit chuckle, "Yeah, we'll see Metalsound."

Later that night, Fixit had everything set up, the kids were settled up front while the adults sat behind them. Razorclaw wasn't as shy as when he first came to the base, he was a little more comfortable being around the others. They all sit down to watch the movie.

Emberwing sat between the boys, they were all excited about the movie, "I hope it has some action in it," Seajumper said.

"Me too," Nightback agreed, feeling excited.

"Do you know what we'll be watching this time?" Razorclaw asked quietly as the opening credits started.

"You'll find out."

Razorclaw chuckled quietly as a man started singing. The femmes awed when they saw the kittens getting new homes. They then awed with sympathy as the one kitten didn't get taken and was washed away. The sparklings gasped as the kitten fell into the sewer drain, only to sigh in relief when he climbed out, "That was close," Emberwing whispered to herself.
