Enter Dante, The Rev-9: Book 2: Revelations

Thanksgiving Special

3rd Person POV

Autobot Base

"Whatcha doing, Dante?" Katie asked curiously as Dante waited for Arcee to arrive.

"Jack invited everyone over to his house," Dante explained, checking his 'watch.' "Apparently, there's some sort of human holiday going on today, and he wants us to take part."

"Which holiday?" Katie asked.

"Thanksgiving," Dante replied. "At least, that's what I heard Miko call it. Apparently, the Bots want to get into it, too. They're gonna be using their Holoforms."

"This is gonna be so cool," Katie said excitedly, jumping down. "Can I come, too?"

Dante grinned. "Of course. Ratchet ain't coming, for obvious reasons; Bulkhead's still recovering, and Optimus and Elita are going to join us later. So for now, it'll just be me, you, Arcee, Jack, Miko, Bumblebee, and Raf."

Just then, Arcee pulled in. "You two ready?" she asked.

"You know it," Dante replied, forming a helmet for Katie. "Let's get this show on the road."

Pulling up outside Jack's house, Dante tilted his head. "It's... nice."

"A little small," Katie commented as Arcee parked and manifested her Holoform. "Are we the first ones here?"

"Apparently," Arcee replied, looking around. She nodded at the end of the road.

Bumblebee pulled around the corner and parked at the curb, Miko and Raf getting out.

"Hey guys," Miko greeted with a smile. "You guys ready for Thanksgiving?"

Dante and Katie shrugged.

"I hope there's gravy," Raf spoke up.

"Well, you guys are gonna have a lot of fun," Dante said, exchanging looks with Arcee. "Cee and I can't really eat normal food."

Arcee coughed. "Actually, our Holoforms were designed to interact with biomass and convert it into energy, so it'll just be you who won't have anything."

"Scrap."

Katie patted Dante on the shoulder. "So, Bumblebee, where's your Holoform?"

In response, a ball of light emerged from Bumblebee's hood and formed into a tall teenager with yellowish blond hair, blue eyes, a brown leather jacket, and blue jeans. A yellow bandana covered his mouth and throat, and black boots covered his feet.

Dante nodded at him. "Nice outfit, Bee. But mine's still better."

In response, Bumblebee rolled his eyes and flipped him off, prompting a laugh from Dante.

"Hey guys, you're here!" Jack called, walking out of his garage.

"Course we are Jack-a-rabbit," Miko replied with a grin. "Wouldn't miss it for the world."

"I think she means she wouldn't miss it for him," Katie whispered with a grin, smirking at the embarrassed faces of Miko and Jack.

Dante and Arcee laughed.

After June welcomed them in at the front door, Dante and the others were met with a long table set with all sorts of food.

"I wasn't sure what kind of food you all ate, so I kind of made a little of everything," June said sheepishly.

"Well, I'm not complaining," Arcee commented.
