13: Sleepover

Faria grinned at Miko as they set up the area the bots had allowed them to stay in for their sleepover. Miko grinned back, and they looked at the boys, who looked a little lost at what to do. Faria chuckled when Miko threw her pillow at Jack. 

"Set up your bed, dummy!" Miko yelled. Jack threw Miko's pillow back at her, and missed by several inches. Faria laughed out loud. Soon, everything was set up.

"Are you sure Dahlia said she couldn't come?" Miko asked Faria. Faria nodded.

"Yeah. She's got work in the morning and doesn't want to stay up late at a sleepover", Faria answered. Miko sighed sadly, before perking up.

"Hey! We should get the bots to play truth or dare!" she exclaimed. "We'll each convince our own guardians!"

Faria laughed quietly. "Getting Ratchet to play is going to be interesting."

Miko grinned. "Think you can get him to join us?" Faria nodded.

"Yep! I got several different tactics; one of them is bound to work!"

Miko grinned. "Then lets go!"

Faria moves toward Ratchet, who had apparently heard their conversation, because as soon as Faria got close enough, he said, "No."

Faria paused, but continued on in her question. "No what?"

"No, I'm not going to play truth or dare", Ratchet elaborated. Faria sighed, and gave him her puppy dog eyes.

"Please?" she begged. He glances at her, but shakes his head.

"No."

Faria changed tactics. "What about guardian charge time?"

Ratchet sighed. "We had that earlier today."

Faria sighs sadly. "Okay..."

She walked away dejectedly, though her brain was excited. She counted down in her mind. '3, 2, 1.'

"Fine, I'll play with you", Ratchet groans. Faria cheers, and waits for him to transform and his holoform to appear. When it does, she grabbed his hand and dragged him over to the area that they were waiting. They were the last ones there.

"Geez, Faria, what took so long?" Miko teased. "You weren't making out with your boy over there, were you?"

Faria immediately stopped walking towards the group, and stared at Miko, a horrified look on her face.

"Miko!" she exclaimed. "Shut up! You know it's not like that!"

Miko only laughed, and Faria continued leading Ratchet over to the spots that were saved for them. Miko set a bottle in the middle of the circle, and spun the bottle. It landed on Raf.

"Truth or dare, Raf?" Miko asks. Faria suddenly became aware that she was still holding onto Ratchet's hand, and quickly moved her hand away from his, butterflies fluttering all throughout her stomach. Ratchet gave her a quick glance, before he looked away, a faint coating of red on his cheeks.

"T-truth", Raf says nervously. Miko groans.

"Aw, where's your daring side?" she exclaims, before pausing to think for a moment. "Um... which bot do you look up to the most?"

"Um..." Raf hesitates. "I look up to Ratchet the most."

Everyone gives him a surprised look, and Ratchet tensed, squeezing Faria's hand a little.  Faria suddenly became aware that they were still holding hands, so she quickly moved her hand away from his, butterflies fluttering all throughout her stomach. Ratchet gave her a quick glance, before he looked away, a faint coating of red on his cheeks.
