When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

After Optimus returned with Azura's lunch without accidently destroying it, Cliff and Bee had decided to challenge Azura to a game of Gran Turismo again. She did think it was amusing that these two bots enjoyed to play a racing game when they could do it themselves. Though she did quickly learn that racing against humans was not allowed, which she understood since the bots would likely win or get noticed by the decepticons. Especially at a time when the decepticons could find them.

Azura sat by Cliff as she held the controller as she pressed on the buttons to manoeuvre the car she had picked around the track. "So you like to amuse yourself by getting into trouble by the police?" The girl asked Cliff after he told a story about he had gotten a ticket for sitting in a disabled parking spot.

"I don't do it intentionally," Cliff responded with a light chuckle. "It just so happens that I am not so good remembering the rules of the road on this planet. This world is very different from ours, kid. Especially since we could drive anywhere we wanted without a speed limit."

Azura chuckled softly as she listened to his enthusiastic voice. "I guess you were used to being pretty free. But you are also built withstand that kind of speed, we humans are not." Azura grimaced as she made her car drift wrong on the game and she fell behind. "People do call cars a weapon, and they are right. People drive them everyday as it is a privilege, but they are a missile on the road. It takes one mistake to cause a serious accident."

Bumblebee nodded in agreement. "I actually witnessed an accident here before. It was pretty horrible to say the least." Azura glanced at the bot before focusing on the game again as she listened to him. "I was just drive along a highway when someone lost control of their SUV. They swerved and hit the metal barriers on the side of the road, and other people somehow did not see as two more hit the car and caused it to roll several times." Bee shuddered as she remembered the accident. "I had to stay here for a weak because I see the bodies of the children in the back laying on the ground and clearly they were thrown from the windows. I'll never forget that."

Cliffjumper stared at the yellow bot in shock. "I never knew that was the reason why you remained on the base for a weak. I assumed you had a bug in your system, but nothing like that." Bee did not look at Cliff and kept his optics on the game. "I am lucky that I have not witnessed that...I guess I understand why there are rules for the road now."

"That is why you should not take the rules lightly, Cliff. You don't want to be responsible for an accident." Bumblebee sighed and disconnected from the game and Azura looked at him with worried eyes. "Sorry, I think I want to do something else. Thinking about that accident upset me and I don't feel like playing anymore."

She thought about what else they could do. "Hmm, I wouldn't mind going out for a drive and getting some fresh air. I have been cooped up in here for a few days, and I kind of want to see something that is not surrounded by dull, dark walls. I think that would be fun. We could rock out to some music, that would be fun."

The red bot smiled at Azura as she spoke about her idea. "That does sound fun. I would have to see if we are allowed to go for a bit of a joyride, though I don't see why not. It isn't that late in the day, so we certainly should be able to go." She looked at him in surprise. "What? Oh, you must think it is strange we need permission to go for a joyride."

"Well...yeah...especially if it is with me," Azura said in a curious tone. "Though I guess if it is something you have to ask anytime you want to go for a joyride..." Bumblebee nodded affirmatively. "Ah, right. I must be thinking something stupid."

Cliff chuckled softly and stood up. "Let me go and ask the boss. I have no doubt he would say yes, kid." He turned to leave the room. "But don't be mad that we might have to wait until tomorrow. I thought I overheard Optimus and Ratchet say that the doctors were coming sometime soon to check on your legs to check the progress."
