Transformers Prime - Hazy

Inanimate Enemies

Meggy: "It won."

She said with a nod. Jasmine laughed.

Jasmine: "Wonderful. It won the battle . . . But I'll take a victory when it's removed from it's hinges to replace the whole structure. Daniel wouldn't keep something that's splintering around. And if the doorway is replaced . . ."

She shrugged. It took only a second before Akane walked in, and froze at the sight of her, banged up and bruised.

Akane: "Miss Brookes!"

He rushed over, and Meggy visibly tensed.

Akane: "What happened?! Did someone harm you? Ariel you were to keep your eyes on her at all times! I counted on you as her bodyguard. You have a full responsibility over her and now she's been assaulted!"

Meggy covered her mouth. Jasmine couldn't help a snicker, covering her mouth as well as Akane lost it a little bit.

Ariel stood at attention, body stiff, trying not to pay much attention to her charge's amusement.

Ariel: "Bu-but, Sir-!"

She began, not able to get much more out. Meggy began to giggle, but Yistina was already laughing hysterically not-too far off.

Jasmine couldn't help herself, Akane's face was flustered. Surely he wasn't thinking quite right. She snickered at the thought, closing her eyes in an attempt to keep from laughing too much . . . it didn't work.

Akane: "And furthermore-."

He was cut off when Jasmine, with Meggy following her lead, doubled over in laughter. The stunned expression was clear on his face, despite the dark sunglasses.

Akane: ". . . What's so funny?"

Jasmine couldn't help laughing harder. She stood carefully, trying not to double over again.

Jasmine: "Y-You're ADORABLE when you're angry! I just think it's the cutest thing!"

She laughed again, his expression only adding to her amusement. Ariel let a smile slip across her face, though trying not to laugh.

Akane, Meggy swore, couldn't look anymore stunned.

Meggy: "She's . . . She's g-gotta point!"

She admitted in between giggles. Akane turned away, flustered, face a bright red. Ariel's smile only grew.

Ariel: "I can't argue . . ."

Jasmine snickered, walking over to him, tossing an arm around his shoulder.

Jasmine: "Oh, don't be so upset. It's a compliment, you old stick-in-the-mud."

She kissed his cheek, snickering.

Jasmine: "And just so you know, no one assaulted me. I walked into a door."

His blush deepened, from both the kiss and his mistake.

Akane: "My . . . A-apologies, Miss Brookes. Ariel."

Jasmine laughed again from the shade of his skin reflecting his embarrassment.

Jasmine: "You need a good night's rest, don't you? You haven't been this edgy in quite some time. Consider yourself relieved from duty tonight. I want you to relax."

Akane: "But Miss Brookes-."

Meggy: "You freaked out over her hitting a door. I think you should take the offer."

Jasmine smiled.

Jasmine: "Ariel can handle night duty. Just relax tonight. I want you on the other end of the house. Watch TV or something. Just don't make me send you to a hotel or something, okay? I don't want it to come to that, but if it must, it must. You just need a little time away. The most dangerous thing in my life right now is a DOOR. I think I'll survive one night so long as I don't go to the bathroom in the dark or anything else like that."
