Aurora revelled in the sound of squealing tires as Bumblebee whirled into the Autobot base, his doors opening revealing the Autobot base and the distinct smell of burning rubber.
The teen hopped out, slinging her bag over her shoulder with a laugh as Raf did the same and the scout transformed, hopping around and dancing a little. He leaned down, offering his digit to Aurora. She set her bag down and grasped his digit with her hand, dwarfed almost four times by his single digit.
Bumblebee whirred in happiness as his radio played an upbeat song and he twirled Aurora with his digit. Jack, Miko, and Raf soon join in along with the other two guardians.
Aurora's grey dress twirled like a blossoming flower around her as she danced with the scout. After her energy had been spent for the moment she stepped back, allowing Bumblebee to inturn stand at full height and twirl Arcee instead.
Aurora's eyes wandered, and she made eye contact with Ratchet, a faint blue hue coating his face plates. In response Aurora felt her own cheeks become warm before she smiled bashfully and looked down, fiddling with her hands.
She's snatched from her thought as Jack grabs her and spins her into a dance, twirling and then dipping her and bringing light and mirth back into her hazelnut gaze.
Suddenly, Bulkhead's pede accidentally brushes her bag, sending it scooting across the floor of the base a few feet.
One of the pockets was unbuckled, and the wolf pendent slid out and skitted across the floor. Aurora quickly halts her dancing and skirts to the floor, snatching up the pendent and holding it close after making sure it wasn't damaged.
"What's that Rora?" Miko asked, attempting to peek over the black haired girl's shoulder.
"A pendent. A teacher gave it to me and said it was from my mom." Aurora said, staring down at the wolf pendent.
"What's a mom again?" Bulkhead asked.
"It's what June is to Jack." Aurora says.
"A carrier." Ratchet translates for the bigger bot.
Bulkhead nods, his curiosity satisfied for now.
"What type of pendent?" Raf asked.
Aurora turned and showed it to him. "It's a wolf pendent. It glows whenever I pick it up." She gingerly handed it to Raf, and the 12 year old looked at it in wonder.
Ratchet transformed and his holoform appeared next to her, fizzling slightly as it focused on forming materialistically.
"It glows you say?" Ratchet asked, cerulean eyes focusing on Aurora.
She nodded, and Ratchet watched keenly as Raf handed the pendent back to Aurora.
Aurora's fingers had just barely grazed the pendent when it's faint glow encompassed her cold fingertips, the soft pastel blue a stark contrast to her pale skin. The glow got brighter until Aurora's brown eyes flashed the same soft blue as the pendent, and then the glow subsided.
However, one of Aurora's eyes remained the soft blue.
