Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 16: Ice Cream and Nightmares

"With the Cons calming down and are going quiet, I will allow for you to go back to your house," Will allowed with a hint of nervousness evident in his voice. That doesn't sound good; usually when the bad guys go quiet all of a sudden, it means they are preparing for something big. Or that's what happens in the movie and we all know all that isn't true.

"Yes! Finally!" I turned to Ironhide who is with us in the main hangar, "you owe me that free trip to Baskin n' Robins. Better pay up now or I'll annoy you until you take me." Ironhide had his arms crossed over his chest, listening to our conversation and grunted to acknowledge me. Then he transformed into his alt. mode, passenger side door open for me with the tailgate down for the dogs to jump up.

When his tailgate dropped, the dogs, who were with us at the moment, hopped up from their laid down position. They rushed over to the back of Ironhides alt. mode; Kodiak was able to jump on his own while Vivian placed her front paws on the edge, waiting for me to help her up. She has tried before to get up in mine but sadly failed and learned she can't get up that way.

Vivian whimpered for me to help her and gave her pathetic puppy eyes in my direction. Sighing deeply and shaking my head with a small smile on my face, I strolled over to where she is and helped her in the back. I close his tailgate carefully and hop in the front passenger seat reserved for me.

The seatbelt slithered over me and clicked into place, securing me safely inside of Ironhide's alt. mode. He closes the door like a gentleman-er mech with the window rolled down; Lennox walks over and gives Ironhide's holoform (Ian) a pointed look. "Any sign of Cons, get here back here immediately. I mean it Hide, sh-," Will lectured but was interrupted by Ironhide.

"Yeah, yeah, we get it. Could we go now? I need to get back before training starts." Will hesitantly nodded his head and stepped back, allowing us to leave. We thought it was going to be the two of us until a pair of Lamborghinis pulled up behind us.

The air around me hardens and it was coming from Ironhide, he most likely didn't want them to come with us. "What do you think you two are doing?" He didn't sound happy at all and the tone of voice expressed that.

"Whoa, Hide. Sounds like you got a rusted pipe up your aft," Sides teased; that didn't settle well with Ironhide as his engine revved deeply like a growl. "We are Brey's guardians by Boss Bots orders and have to be with her at all times." I don't think that how guardianship works but rather not argue with thirty foot tall sentient robots.

"I have it covered. Now get before I shove one of my cannons up your aft," Ironhide threatened.

"Wait, Ironhide. Just let them come with us. I'll keep them in order if they start to act up," I proposed, setting a hand on his and giving him the famous puppy eyes Vivi like to give me.

Conflict could be seen inside of his eyes and a sigh left his mouth. "Fine but if they annoy me once, I get to kick their afts into the next deca-cycle."

"I don't think that Will would like that very much but sure. Though don't reel me into the trouble if you get busted by him." After our disagreement was settled, Ironhide took off with the Terror Twins following us to Baskin Robins.

It was a quick trip to Baskin Robins and Ironhide makes me hurry up so he could get back for training. Those poor, poor soldiers dealing with Ironhide does not seem like they have a good time with him.

At Baskin Robins, I got Birthday cake and Chocolate Chip Cookie dough and Ian pays for every cents. Don't know where he got the money or debt card to do that but not going to question that as I get free dessert out of it. "Hey, Hide. Why don't you head back to the base and we can take her back home?" Sides offered.
