Legend (OCXCybertronian)

Human Culture

Five months later...

     Alex's p.o.v

     I had been adopted by June a month ago. Everyone was doing great. My new slightly older brother was just as normal as any other older brother except for the thing that he had a transforming motorcycle. Arcee was really nice, I liked her style a lot. Miko and I have become great friends! Rafael has became close to me also. Bumblebee told me his side of the story when he lost his voice. It was so sad! I felt horrible for asking but he just shrugged it off. I found out they were all a big family. Legend and I grew the closest though. We hunted together, well mostly me. We still did though.

     Jack and Miko went with WheelJack to go pick up some pizza! I was starving! Rafael was working on his computer, so me being the annoying person I am...jump scared him. "HEY RAF!" He jumped and fumbled with his glasses. I laughed so hard till I fell over. He glared at me. "Alex!" He huffed. "Raf, I'm so sorry! It was to good to pass up!" He started to laugh along with me. Hot Rod came along the side. "What are you two doing?"

Legends p.o.v

IronHide was practicing with Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. The two were pretty good from my perspective. Hot Rod walked in with Raf and Alex. They both were watching fondly. "What did they do now?" Hot Rod chuckled, "apparently Alex jump scared Rafael, although they were both laughing." Sideswipe walked over and smiled at me. "Where's Bulkhead?" Miko came around the corner. That's when Sideswipe was smashed into the wall. Bulkhead laughed, "got ya off guard!" Miko ran at him. Sideswipe groaned as I laughed. "Pizza is here!" She squealed and Jack came in with some. "Alex, Raf!" Hot Rod sat them down and they both went into a different room to get a slice.

Optimus walked into the room and started to have a conversation with IronHide. "Energon?" I asked Sideswipe. Sure!" He picked his sword back in its sling. "Can I come?" Hot Rod waved. "Come on!" Sides hollered. We walked to the back to see Ratchet. He was counting how many cubes we had. He kept it all accounted for on a device in his hand. "Hey Ratch," Sideswipe said grabbing a cube. "Hello Sideswipe," he mumbled. I smiled. The two were close. Well, being his father in a war close. Or more close than that...ya get what I mean! Hot Rod looked over Ratchet's shoulder pad and saw the number. "Not too shabby," he murmured. Ratchet shoed him away. He chuckled.

"It's mine!" I looked out into the hall and saw Raf whining at Miko. Jack was still eating and watching the scene. Miko was about to eat Raf's slice of pizza. Alex was laughing uncontrollably. "Give him his pizza!" Bumblebee scolded in a playful tone. "What?" Miko Asked. "He said give it back!" Piped up Raf. Miko sighed and gave it back. "Alright weakling." She handed to him with a smile of triumph. "I still won though," she walked out of the halls view. "Humans." Ratchet shuttered. We walked out snickering.

     Smokescreen ran across the halls with Bumblebee in pursuit. "I'm gonna get there first!" Chimed Smokescreen. "In your dreams dude!" Hot Rod watched as they ran past. "Hey little bro, calm down before you knock into someone!" Bumblebee looked back when Smokescreen came to an immediate stop. They collided. I cringed. Ratchet shouted, "YOUNGLINGS!" We walked a little faster around the corner. My sire and Optimus were talking. Elita and my carrier were looking back at us with quite whispers. Sire smiled over at me. I gave a quick smile back as we walked past then into the wreck room. Bulkhead and WheelJack were now at it. Sunstreaker had taken five on the side bench.

     "What up little brother?" Gestured Sunny. Sides shrugged, "thirsty?" Sides handed Sunny the cub and he took a sip. "Thanks," He yawned. "How long did you recharge last night?" Asked Hot Rod. Sunny looked down, "about two hours?" I glared, "go recharge. You never know when you are stressing yourself. What were you doing all night?" He stood and stretched, "helping my sire, he needed some stuff moved. I don't undertake how he is even operating today. He's so darn used to it." I nodded. "The old coot never recharges. Now off to bed." He saluted, "Yes ma'am." He winked and kept going.

   Bulkheads p.o.v

     After battling out a good match, I entered the main room to find Miko and the other kids playing video games. They were also eating there, pizza? "Why is it called pizza?" Alex turned around with a giggle, "I don't know silly, it's just what someone named it. It's not originally from this country so it was named in a different language." I thought about it for a moment. "So kinda like how Bumblebee speaks in a different type of coding?" Asked Miko. Raf and Jack kept playing. "Exactly, the different language is something said differently but we all put it in our language. English wasn't what the Indians spoke." Taught Alex. "History is not my thing." Miko huffed. "Mine either." I murmured. Alex laughed, "I'm not too sharp on it either. My teacher says I'm a chip off the old block though," now I was more confused than before.

     "Chip off the old block?" Alex turned around on the sofa again. "It's a metaphor. Something made up and put into a saying. Need I say more?" I shook my helm. "I'll look it up later." Raf had a sly smirk on his face. One I hadn't seen before. I walked away. "Ratchet, tell me more about these metaphors that Alex is talking about." Ratchet grumbled from the storage. "Give me a klik!" Shouted Ratchet. I nodded and went into deep thought. "Why are humans so weird?" Bumblebee came in the room and shrugged. "Different types of species are just weird. Like some of their genes." I looked at him confused once more. "Tell me more!" He smiled.
