When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

It had been a few days since the incident with the energon harvester, and Azura learned what happened when Bulkhead had returned to Greece. He did find Starscream there harvesting the energon that was uncovered at the historic site. And he had actually managed to destroy the harvester, even though it had almost cost him his life. Azura thought he was very brave, even if he destroyed a tool that could have been very useful for the autobots. But she knew it was a necessary extreme measure for him to take, especially considering that if he did nothing, he would be with the All Spark right now.

Miko had also been bragging about how she realized how smart she was when she was kept in the security office of the museum. She had been retrieved from the museum after Fowler was informed about the harvester and the replica Ratchet had managed to make to be taken to the museum so that Miko would not be in trouble for it. Though given Miko was only a single teenager, it would have been hard to convict her of stealing the sphere anyway. That didn't stop her bragging about it, and she actually got her history report done very quickly because of it.

Azura still couldn't get the image of seeing Optimus being stabbed by the electric rod Knockout had used on Optimus. She learned who Knockout was after asking about him. Regardless, she has been unsettled by that since the incident. She didn't want him to go through that again, even though Optimus has reassured her that he's recovered from it and that it was unlikely to happen again. That still didn't stop Azura from thinking about it and getting upset.

He did manage to get her mind off it by taking her to do some training on her abilities. It has been a while since he's taken her on a training trip, and Azura actually had a good time. He had her focus on controlling fire, and she had actually managed to create a control burn over a body of water. And Azura had a lot of fun with getting creative with it. She was getting better with her abilities, and she honestly couldn't wait for the day she could use her abilities without needing to concentrate.

Today, Azura was in her room currently. She had been bored, but she had decided to grab out her old clothes from the wardrobe and she had found some thread, but she had to form a needle, to try and keep herself entertained by turning her old clothes into dolls. She had form a needle out of ice, and she was currently wondering how she was going to make the dolls with stuffing for the insides.

She was on her own as Optimus had taken the other autobots to scout out an energon deposit, so she needed to entertain herself. Azura was staring at her old clothes as she thought about what to do. She did not touch her dresses, as she didn't want to ruin them. But her old pyjamas, shorts, shirts and jeans were spreading out along the floor. Azura hummed for a moment before she thought about using pillow stuffing. She couldn't use her pillow from her berth, but she did know there were other pillows somewhere that might replace her current pillow.

She decided to do just that. She smiled to herself and went over to her linen closet to grab out the pillows, and some of the cases too to use as the material for the heads, hands and feet. Azura was very excited as she plopped the pillows and pillowcases down on the ground by the clothes and grabbed some scissors. She settled sitting on the ground as she cut into the pillows to grab out the filling. None of them had feathers in them, so she did not have to worry about that.

The first doll she decided to work on would be wearing a pink singlet and denim shorts. She did wish she had socks to create shoes on the dolls, but she was quite happy with what she had now. She hummed softly to herself as she sewed the bottom of the singlet to the shorts before she cut a pillowcase to create the limbs and sewed they to the singlet and shorts, and sewed the ends of the limbs before she began to stuff the doll with the stuffing.

Azura did make sure to try and keep the floor as tidy as possible as she didn't want Optimus or Ratchet getting mad at her for the mess. But she knew that this would be a little messy, given there were small pieces of the pillow stuffing on the floor. She would definitely clean it later though. For the moment, she wanted to make several dolls as she still loved her plush toys. And having handmade toys was going to make them feel very special.
