Don't bother me when I take my stasis nap.
Ratchet's optics softened, his frown lines creased. He set Sari down on the ground and transformed back into alt-mode, swinging his door open for Sari to get in.

"Let's get you to bed. We've all had a rough night." He says, barely above a whisper.

Ratchet watches silently as the beast and protoform disappear into the night. He then radios Alice and V.

“Well, crisis over. Why don’t’cha all go home.” He says before cutting the line.

His focus pulls towards Sari still cradled against his chest.

“We should go back home, too.”

A high-pitched cybertronian wail pierced through the air as the little red protoform sat there with her bumps and dents.

Ratchet stood and barely rose his pede when a massive blur whipped right back him and pounced on the little protoform.

A frightened shout died in Ratchet's vocalizer.

His overtaxxed engine bellows out heat into the cool night. A low idle rumbling that would soothe any newbuild. It's effect lost on Sari but done instinctually.

Ratchet places a protective servo over Sari where she rests against his windshield.

"Yer gonna be okay, Sari. You're safe now." He says.

Ratchet witnesses the protoform roll over, his spark skipped several beats as Sari eject out of the little cars cabin and into the road.

He transforms and opens out his servos to gather the young girl. He holds her tight to his windshield.

"It's alright, kid, I've got you. You're okay" He repeats.

To his horror, the little car seemed to be heading straight for one of the main highways, still busy at this time of night. He feared what the protoform's erratic driving may incite.

Ratchet watched with baited vents as the little protoform rushed towards a very tight corner in the street.

Ratchet replies to the comm line. "Yeah, yeah I've got sight of her too! Just tell me if you can see what in Cybertron is on my tailpipe!"

The little car swerves this way and that. Ratchet's panicked frustrations grow as little car gets further and further away than what his axles can keep up with.

To me, loving someone means that you care about them in every way you can. You care about their happiness, their well-being, their feelings...

You feel attracted to them, not just with how they look, but also to how they act. You know that you will share your future with this person, until death.

Oh don’t give me that look. Just as long as the sound doesn’t rattle the shelves.

You better keep the volume down, I’m trying to work over here.

It's just small crystals of frozen water. Just make sure to dry your joints when it starts to melt. It's the salt the humans put on the roads to melt the ice that's a corrosive nuisance.

You think you’re so funny.
November 27, 2025 at 11:30 PM
It’s driving me up the walls.

“Enough games, you unruly protoform! Quit speeding or you’ll hurt yourself!”

Reasoning never worked, not with mischievous little protoforms. Sari taught him that very, very well.

This little car has to tire out sometime…right?
November 27, 2025 at 9:48 AM
Filled out yet. Just how old was this protoform???

Then, he heard the squealing laughter as the little red car careened off the side then back onto to road.

He heard the little car yell “Stop tickling me!” In Neocybex before straightening out.

Ratchet paid little mind to anything else, not even to what Alice or V were saying. Flashers one, engine in high gear, and his tires tearing down the street.

He panicked, seeing the erratic movements made by the little car. Is… no that can’t be. Some of the little car’s paint hadn’t even fully…

I ain't your "grandmama" whatever the pits that is, and I ain't knitting you a sweater. You know how easily yarn and get tangled in my servos? If yer really a"sparkling" theres plenty of mecha on here that'll take you in.

Ratchet turned around at the last moment, hearing someone shout his name.

Color drained from his faceplate as disgruntlement morphed to terror.

A large mechanoid beast prowled through the alleyway and stared him down. A furious aura emanated off of the creature.

Ratchet transformed and took off.
November 25, 2025 at 9:58 PM
“Slagging dammit, it can’t be!” Ratchet says and transforms, giving chase to the mischievous little car.
November 24, 2025 at 6:59 PM
He switched to English.

“Alright, Sari, I think that’s enough adventuring for all of us.”

And just went he was about to guide her into his palm…
