- This will be your new place, Soundwave - Megatron said, with a smile in his face.

- But... I.. - Soundwave looked at their pedes and legs - I'm covered in dirt -

- Don't worry about that, someone will clean today -

- I... I'm stinky.. -

- Is that bad??

- Yes...-

- Well, you can go to the washing zone. It's a few meters from here - Megatron pointed to somewhere behind him. - It's free -

- Thank you - Soundwave ran. Nobody should smell them. It was really disgusting. Finally arrived to that place. And entered in the showers there. The liquid feel nice, really different from raindrops.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the building where Megatron was, another young cybertronian was in the door. It was Shockwave. He was there, in his raincoat, waiting the doors to slide. When finally opened, he removed his raincoat, shaked it, and folded it, to finally put it in his backpack. There wasn't anyone, so he got inside and sat in a chair, waiting. 

Megatron went to the corridor, he was thinking of waiting Soundwave to come back. But he noticed Shockwave there

- Hey - The gray one said - Are you Shockwave? -

- Affirmative - He answered, standing up - And I guess you are Megatron. - The oldest nodded - I heard that you were looking for a new scientist. Starscream told me. -

- Ah, yes. So you know him? -

- He was my classmate, he is noisy, but he is smarter than he looks

- I know. He is working with someone else. Somehow that big guy keeps Starscream on track -

- Illogical -

- But, what about you? - Megatron said to him.

- I'm from Iacon City. I studied for being a scientist. And I was looking for a job. Luckily I knew about this place. Seems like you are making an army. Hilarious. - Shockwave was serious, just for hide how nervous he actually was. 

- Hahaha, yeah is funny - He said while putting his hand on Shockwave's shoulder. - Now, let me guide you to the lab

At that moment, the doors slided, Soundwave was back. They was really clean. Soundwave noticed the purple mech and suddenly stopped moving. They was ashamed. Who was that guy?! Why he was talking with their best friend?! Why he doesn't has a face?! 

- Soundwave, are you alright? - Megatron was worried.  Shockwave also was amazed, noticing Soundwave's yellowish visor. It reminded him of his optic.

- Who...who is...- Soundwave was....shocked. 

- Oh, excuse me, my designation is Shockwave. - The purple mech said, trying to break the tension. 

- He is here for working in the labs, he arrived today - Megatron said to Soundwave, trying to calm them down. 

- Oh, I see - Soundwave said, calmly but still acting shy - Excuse me if I was mean - Soundwave walked down the corridor, going to their new "office"

Shockwave stood here with Megatron, still talking.

- Is "Soundwave" something yours?

 - They's my best friend - The boss said - They is actually a nice person, but get nervous with ease -

Shockwave was intrigued. Soundwave truly was an interesting being to analyze. At least from Shockwave perspective. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The young scientist moved to the labs. He was on his coat, perfectly clean. He entered there, the air smelled like a lot of chemicals. Despite Shockwave's lack of face, his sensors indicated a high pressence of different compounds.

He opened his backpack and put out some lab stuff. Starscream noticed it. 

- Oh, is you. - The seeker said, coming closer - Seems like you took my advice

- I did this time, because my logic told me to do -

A tall, white mech arrived with them - Good evening, you must be the new guy - He said, pointing at Shockwave - Nice to meet you, I'm Skyfire - He shook Shockwave's hand 

- I'm Shockwave, seems like we are lab partners now -

Starscream, on the other hand, was annoyed. What if Skyfire prefered Shockwave more than him? If he forgets him? No, that isn't possible. The short seeker shook his head, like when you feel sleepy and try to react.

Both tall nerds had some fun with science stuff. While Starscream just watched, a bit jealous. 

When the night arrived, Shockwave took his stuff, and left. He was really tired and really needed a rest. Tomorrow will be another day.
