An Autobotic Fathers Day

Clang! Alice watched as Ratchet threw his wrench on the medical tool tray. She waited until his back was turned and dragged a huge card into the med bay. She left it where he could see it. She tried to sneak back out of the med bay.

Ratchet gave a frustrated sigh. He turned around to see one of the young humans hurrying out of the med bay. "Alice?" He asked, surprised to see the youngest of the human teenagers leaving.

Alice stopped and turned toward Ratchet. "Are you ill?" he asked looking concerned. She shrugged and said, "I had a headache, but you look busy. I don't want to be an annoyance." Ratchet held out his hand for her to climb on. "It will not be a problem. I hope you will feel comfortable enough to come to me whenever you need." Ratchet said.

Alice nodded and Ratchet continued, "I'll need to take a medical scan. Do not worry, young one. It shall not hurt." She giggled as the scanner roamed over her. "It would appear you have a headache from lack of sleep." Ratchet said as he lowered Alice to the floor. "You better take better care of yourself, young lady, or i'm going to keep my optics on you myself." Alice said, "Yes, sir." She ran to the door halfway out, "Oh and Ratchet?"

"Yes?" He answered. "Thanks for caring." Alice finished. Ratchet smiled and looked to the medical berth beside him. It was a card fit for a cybertronian. He smiled and tucked it into his subspace after reading it. Wondering who gave it to him.
