Oh, how it seemed so quickly that Christmas came and went. A darn shame, too! But, I can't complain. We had a White Christmas after all. How nice.

But look at where we are now! New Year's Eve is here already. Or at least that means something to us Earth folk; I have no idea how long a Cybertronian year is for you Autobots and Decepticons and whatever else. More importantly! New Year's! Celebration time.

This means fireworks again. I need 'em. Whoever has any, lemme know.

Later, baby!

Perhaps I'm letting my rank go to my head.

[He sets the boxes down in the closet, and straightens, brushing his hands together to get the dirt off.]

But I don't outrank you if you aren't in the police force. [He looks back to Gunmax.] So you could ignore my orders.

Or we could invite Drill Boy and Kagerou.

What, a whole cuddle pile? No thank you!

Honestly, I would rather it just. ... Just be you.

[mccrane]

[McCrane turns, intent on heading back to his desk...but stops, with what Gunmax says.]

Gunmax...

[He trails off.]

Is it a glitch, if I want that too?

[engrishdetective]

...No, I don't think it's a glitch.

I know we're robots. We weren't made initially to want much. But we're not just robots, right?

[mccrane]

We're robots with Super AI, who learned from humans.

We have relationships.

[He looks at Gunmax on his desk.]

We need relationships, to grow.

Perhaps that means with each other, as much as it does with the humans that we meet.

[He's thinking about Colonel Seia. He misses her. What he feels towards Gunmax reminds him of that, but also doesn't...because...Gunmax isn't Seia.]
