Sunlight spilled in through the curtains, waking me from my light slumber. I didn't even realise I'd slept in until the 35cm stuffed plushie beside my head fell onto me; stirring with a small groan. I opened my eyes to find I was staring into white material, giggling and gently pushing the plushieformer off my head.
"Good morning to you too, Jazz," I teased, setting him aside and sitting up with a yawn. Glancing out the window beside my bed, I smiled as rain pattered against the window-frame. A weekend and a rainy day; what more could a girl want?
"You're not going anywhere out today, are ya?"
I jumped and shot a glance at the plushieformer.
"Geez, I almost forgot you could talk; don't give me a heart attack, Jazz…" I commented, then getting up and rummaging through my drawers. Jazz laughed and set his servos back behind him, leaning against the wall as he watched me.
"Ya know me, Sky; I can't help but surprise!"
Pulling out a navy-blue t-shirt with half the Autobot insignia and half the Decepticon insignia on it, I slipped it over my head before facing the plushieformer with a teasing sigh.
"Anyway, to answer your question, I was going to go out and see a movie with my friends," I responded, going and searching for my jeans. "And no, don't ask to come with me because-…"
I stopped myself, not wanting to say why I couldn't take him. As I looked over the plushie, I remembered that they'd stopped selling them six years ago. Since then, everyone had forgotten they'd even existed… well, except those who had managed to buy them; like me, who'd managed to grab Jazz, Blaster and Prowl, but speaking of the Autobot boom-box, I'll admit I had been careless with him, so Blaster basically lives in my mother's sewing room.
"Because?" Jazz then spoke up, knocking me out of thought. I looked down to find him tugging at a piece of loose thread in his arm. Giggling I stopped him as I swept him into my arms, cuddling him like he was a fuzzy teddy-bear.
"Because my friends might try to steal you from me!" I laughed, nuzzling my cheek against his helm. Jazz sniggered.
"Fine, fine, but get Blast' outta the needle room; I need some company!"
I nodded and placed him back on the bed, pulling on my jeans before darting from the bedroom and heading down the hall. I walked slowly through the kitchen, meeting my mother's glance as she made breakfast.
"And where are you going?" she asked me sceptically. I pointed in the direction of the sewing room.
"To get Blaster… You have fixed him right?" I asked. Mum sighed and walked over, somehow knowing I was going to ask that.
"For the seventeenth time; yes, but he's still missing an eye because I couldn't find the right coloured thread to match the material," she replied, causing me to look a little disheartened, but I brightened up a bit when the thought of my plans for the day came back to my head.
"I'm going out with friends today; maybe I could get the thread?" I suggested.
"Excellent idea. I'm busy today anyway with work so that would really help, dear."
"Cool!" I admitted, leaving the kitchen and continuing to the sewing room. I ran a hand across the wall and came across the switch in no time, flicking it on as I glanced around the room. Shelves of material, thread, sewing essentials and the like lined the walls and a large table sat in the middle of the room; scattered with a sewing machine, bobbins, more thread, needles, and… the toy I was looking for. Blaster lay unwanted in the middle of the desk by the sewing machine; one arm flopped over his helm. I cautiously walked over and sat at the desk, resting my arms on the table-surface.
"You can stop pretending now; it's just me," I whispered, watching as Blaster looked up through the magnifying glass, managing a slight smile.
"Two days, Sky…" he murmured. "It's too long to wait…"
"How do you think I feel?" I insisted, gently running a finger over his helm. "Jazz is getting impatient… and I am too kinda…"
"I was ya second; that's understandable, but… it's hard to do anythin' with only one optic…"
I glanced over at where Mum had left Blaster's other 'optic' with a needle and an empty coil of thread; the blue needed to coordinate with the colour.
"I'm going out with friends today. I'll get some more thread while I'm there."
Blaster pushed the magnifying glass aside and cautiously sat up, crawling over and hugging my arm.
"See? This is why you're my favourite," he commented, nuzzling against me. I giggled.
"I think I'm everyone's favourite."
"Skylar! Acia's here to pick you up!"
"Okay Mum, be out in a second!" I called back, prying the boom-box off my arm and laying him back under the magnifying glass. "Just wait a little longer. You'll be able to see clearly in no time!"
I heard Blaster chuckle as I jogged out of the sewing room, quickly running back to my bedroom to grab Jazz and the bag I'd prepared for the day.
"Ow! Watch the arm, Sky!" Jazz yelped as I grabbed him by the arm and shoved the plushieformer into my bag.
"S-Sorry Jazz!" I apologised, swinging the bag over my shoulder and calmly walking back into the lounge. Acia stood at the door, staring at a painting on the wall while hesitantly holding something to her shoulders. I debated back with Mum that I'd had breakfast before meeting her at the door.
"So, you got him?" Acia asked as we ran down to where her mum was waiting and slid into the car. I cautiously pulled Jazz out of my bag and nodded.
"Yep. What about you; who'd you bring?"
Acia let her eyes dart left and right before revealing the plushie she'd had hanging on her back. I gasped when I saw her.
"Ohmigosh, she's pretty! Who and how?!" I inquired. "Tell me, tell me, tell me!"
"Nightmelody at your service," Acia giggled, making the plushieformer bow. "Mum made her for me; she was my first."
Nikki grinned at my surprise as we buckled up.
"Unlike you, Sky; Acia has more time on her hands to do things," she laughed. "And then there's me; Decepticon all the way!"
"Look out or the Autobots will attack!" I teased, attacking my friend with Jazz as she defended with her Skywarp. Acia laughed and sat Nightmelody in her lap and began explaining to us how she'd managed to make the Neutral femme. Maybe I could make my own plushie one day…
Plushieformers :3
Hikarigirl18 gave me some inspiration with her story 'More Than Meets The Eye'! For that, I thank her! *le-clap*
So, I'm using their 'robotic' features, because… technically they're not organic, or… robotic, but… what else am I supposed to use? Oh well… *shrugs*
Oh yeah! And Skylar (a.k.a me) is the only one who knows the plushieformers can talk! Acia will find out at a later date! :3
We've met Plushie!Jazz, Blaster, Nightmelody and Skywarp; who will we meet next!?
I don't own Transformers, nor do I own Nightmelody or Acia! They belong to average-asian-teenager! ^^
