[It's not often Drift loses his temper. At least, it's not often that any one sees it. ]

[You're seeing it now, his blue optics blazing nearly white, one hand shaking as he holds up some white wrapping paper and a bit of red ribbon. It's all he intends to show anyone.]

This some kind of a joke?

[If it is, apparently Drift doesn't find it very funny.]

Yes. I got the key to the universe.

..where's the lock?

Maybe. I'm not ready to think about that yet. [He didn't want it near him, but it felt disrespectful to want to throw it away.]

Part. Yes.

Understandable.

I'm sorry Drift, I wish I could help you with that. `Put that in the fridge, might not be the best suggestion.]

[A long look before he speaks, trying to grasp the notion.]

But why? A reminder of what?

There isn't one. It means I own it all.

You own...the whole world.

[Uhhhh.]

Have you ever spoken to a mech named Rung?

It's not your problem.

My past. How it all started.

I'm just saying. Jets. They're more fun to tickle.

...I'll help hold him down for you.

You're not getting out of it. And that's triple now.

[ She chuckles. ]

I know.

It would be unwise to tickle me while I'm driving.

[New plan: just...never ever be within her reach when not in motion. This would work....a bit.]

Scrawny guy with the target window on his chest? Yes, why?

[Well, that was accurate at least. If not flattering.]

He's, uh, he's very good to talk to. You know. For mechs in, uh, your condition.

But why now? [His head tilts.] And, what is that odd thing the gingers are doing...?

...

Are you accusing me of being crazy?

Crazy? What? No. No. Not crazy.

[Yep. Totally crazy.] Just, you know, Rung's a good person to talk to. For, uh, adaptation issues.

That still sounds like you're saying I'm crazy. Which I'm not.

Crazy's kind of judgmental, don't you think?

Well, you are an Autobot.

Does that even matter here?

It seems to matter to some. Being in a place with no war doesn't make it all magically go away.

It doesn't matter to me. I used to be one of you.

[And tell him about it not going away.] Point is, you can talk to Rung if you, erm, need to.

Oh?

So you went all traitor on us. Nice.
