Reflect is still nervous, but far less hesitant with his Ironhide toy in his hand. he holds tightly to Wheeljacks holoform with his free hand. he looks around slowly. there's not many people and he recognizes some of the few people there as soldiers from the base, but he still doesn't like it.

"see its alright. we got here early enough for you to get comfortable alright? we need you comfortable around humans little one." Wheeljack murmurs, smiling. the sparklings holoform looks up at him with a mixture of fear and disgust. "I know you don't like it but the humans are our allies Reflect. its important." Wheeljack murmurs.

"no." he mumbles.

"yes." Wheeljack chuckles. they stop in front of the bounce house. "alright ready to get in?" he ask. the little head snaps up to look at him like he's crazy. he clutches his toy and shakes his head quickly.

"not going." he huffs. Wheeljack chuckles.

"oh come on. its fun." Wheeljack assures. the sparkling shakes his head quickly.

"you go." Reflect huffs.

"no sparkling, I'm too big to go in there." Wheeljack smiles. "you go." he chuckles.

"no way slagger!" he glares up at the inventor. "not going!" he huffs. Wheeljack grabs the sparkling gently and immediately he starts screaming. "NO!" he screams, struggling with Wheeljack.

"oh come on its not that bad." Wheeljack chuckles. Reflect ignores him, struggling hard.

"Ratchet!!!" he screams.

"don't hurt him!" Ratchet snaps, glaring and heading over.

"I'm not!" Wheeljack huffs.

"stop making him cry Jack!" Ratchet growls. Wheeljack sighs and frowns a moment before looking down at the sparkling.

"okay, fine. if I get in, will you get in with me?" Wheeljack asks. he stops screaming and struggling, going quiet. a frown crosses the little holoform boys face, before he nods.

"okay." he agrees, Wheeljack chuckles.

"okay take your shoes off." Wheeljack smiles, pulling his own off. Reflect looks confused, but pulls them off.

"not real." he frowns.

"its difficult to explain, you'll understand holoforms when you're older. but you can't just make them disappear in front of humans, it'll scare them." Wheeljack assures, getting into the bounce house. he pulls the sparkling in after him. "see now you can jump around." Wheeljack smiles, getting up. Reflect pulls himself up with the netting on the side. Wheeljack bounces and sends the sparkling to the ground.

"HEY!" he screams. he sits up and glares Wheeljack.

"whoops, sorry little one." Wheeljack laughs a little.

"not sorry!" he glares.

"Jack, what are you doing in there?" Jazz snorts, walking over.

"knocking over the sparkling apparently." Ratchet growls, walking up beside Jazz. he crosses his arms over his chest, glaring.

"it was an accident! he's okay!" Wheeljack assures. the sparkling gets himself up slowly, wobbling on his little unsteady legs. he looks over at Ratchet pouting.

"Wheeljack, you're going to hurt him." Jazz frowns. he climbs in with them. "you have to bounce with him." Jazz grins, walking over to the sparkling. he grabs the little holoforms hand. "give me your other hand kiddo." Jazz smiles. he looks at the Ironhide toy in his other hand, then up at Jazz with a dark glare.

"no. mine!" he growls. Jazz wavers a second, before grinning at the sparkling.

"boy you sure got that nasty old Ratchet the hatchet glare down." Jazz snorts.
