When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

Azura had her hands raised as she laughed loudly while Bulkhead rolled down a steep, rocky slope. He had been finding slopes for the last ten minutes, and she has been having a heap of fun. Bulkhead was having a lot of fun as well as it was great to know that Azura enjoyed these kinds of activities like and Miko did. But she got to spend time with him, which he felt bad since he didn't get to spend a lot of time with her like he should. At least this felt like a way to make it up to her. Azura was thinking of other things they could do though, as she would get bored of this after a while. And with the rain inevitably coming, she was thinking of what else they could do before the rain would fall. She did hope to convince him to have a mud fight with her when it did start to rain.

When Bulkhead reached the bottom of the slope, Azura looked around for s moment to see what else was around. "Hmm...what else should we do, Bulkhead? This is a lot of fun, but rolling down steep slopes can get boring. Is there a body of water nearby?"

"There is. I guess we can go to it." Bulkhead turned to the left to make his way to the lake. "Hmm...well, there is another thing we could do. It will be similar to the game of bowling, but we will be using boulders. If there were tall boulders, we could play, as the goal will be to knock the most boulders down to win."

"Interesting...rock bowling." She giggled as that sounded like fun. "Maybe we should if it is possible. But I was thinking showing you how to skip stones on a lake. That's fun, especially if you challenge yourself to see how far you can get the stone to skip."

"Skipping stones? Never heard that one before. That actually sounds like a good idea to try. Hopefully it will work for me." Azura giggled as she was certain it would still work for him. "It is good that you have learned about different activities from humans, Azura. Especially if they are activities we are able to so, as it really makes it interesting and exciting for all of us."

"Hopefully Wheeljack can come back at some point to play some more as well," Azura said as she thought about him. "It was too bad he decided to leave...but I guess he isn't the type to sort of stay in the same place for too long."

"I think because Wheeljack has been exploring the galaxies for so long, he has just gotten used to moving from one place to another," Bulkhead said gently as he knew that Azura missed him. So did he, of course. "I can't blame him for that reasoning. Plus, there are many autobots scattered across the galaxies out there, Azura. Wheeljack does have an important mission on finding others, and I think that is just as important as her duty here on Earth."

"I suppose that is true. I would have liked another family member around, but he will be back. I am sure of it." Azura bounced on the chair excitedly as she stared out the window. "How much further until we reach the lake? I really want to do some stone skipping. You can go faster."

"I could go faster, but I am afraid I can't, Azura. Optimus's orders." She rolled her optics with a light chuckle as she fully understood. "But don't worry yourself, we are almost there. And we can get more of that energy out of you. Even if we have to play some hide and seek."

Azura gasped excitedly as that sounded like a good idea. "Ooh! That sounds like fun! But then I might be in trouble for running too far from you. So probably not a great idea...maybe tag though, but even that might be pushing the boundaries a little." She shrugged with a light chuckle. "I can go back to making dolls when we get back at least."

"And you can pretend they are high council leaders at a meeting," Bulkhead suggested, making her giggle at the idea. "I haven't seen you play with the toys yet. Do you?"

"Not really. I would rather hug or carry them around than play with them," Azura said with a shrug. She widened her optics as she spotted the glimmer of water as Bulkhead drove by a boulder. "Oh! We're getting closer!" She giggled excitedly ass she moved to her knees to bounce gently. "And it will probably rain very soon. I can feel it."
