oo8 ★ LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN AGAIN

[electrowhipit]

[ One can find Jolt in his yard, surrounded by, and very possibly tangled up in, various strings of Christmas lights. He roots through the mess until he disentangles a strand- and with a careful application of a finger to the appropriate end, the lights flicker to life.

This strand is, perhaps appropriately, bright blue, and Jolt grins. ] Not a bad color, if I do say so myself.

[ He coils up the lights and sets them on the grass, then moves on to the next strand and repeats the process. ]

[electrowhipit]

Maybe a little. [ grin ] Go on, open it.

If this is another toy sword...

[And he'll go grab it and start opening that sucker]

[electrowhipit]

I'm not that cruel.

[ Inside the box there is-- a substantially smaller box. But inside of that is a pair of car keys. ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Not outside your apartment anywa--

[this takes him a moment. He pulls them out, and turns them over in hand.]

Jolt?

[electrowhipit]

We are gonna have to go to the garage.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He's... so confused.]

All... right. This is a lovely set of keys...?

[electrowhipit]

It'll make sense, trust me.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... All right.

Are you... still putting your lights up? Or... did you really just want me in here for the keys?

[electrowhipit]

The lights can wait.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... Oh really? Well then. What are we waiting for?

[electrowhipit]

[ ONE WALK TO THE GARAGE LATER- Jolt is standing at the door, ready to slide it open ]

This sounds so corny, but you have to close your eyes.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Fine... But only because I'm curious.

[He shuts his eyes, and, for added protection, covers them with his hand.]

I await with malfunctioning intakes. Or bated breath. Whichever.

[electrowhipit]

[ It doesn't take him long to get the door open, and he steps out of the way a little- he still wants to see the look on Sideswipe's face. ]

Okay, you can look.

[ And there in the garage is a car- it's nothing from the 1950's- this is a custom job. And while it's no Stingray either, it's sleek and sliver, and looks like it goes really fast.

And it also has a bow on it. ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He does look, and is subsequently rendered speechless. It's been so long. He'd honestly started to think he'd never see another vehicle even remotely like his. He glances at Jolt, completely and utterly floored by this.]

You... This. I.

[And then he just sort of... attaches himself to the hood.]

[electrowhipit]

[ He just smiles. Sideswipe's reaction was so, so worth all of the work. ]

You wanna take it for a drive?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... [His face is sort of pressed up against the hood of the car, so his response may be a bit muffled. Still, there's a very definite affirmative there.]

[electrowhipit]

[ tugs on Sideswipe's shirt a little ] Get off of there before you smudge the bodywork to hell.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He... peels... himself off the car, leaning back against Jolt, still grinning like an idiot.]

Smudge your bodywork to hell for this...

[And as proof this body is still as flexible as his metal one, he reaches back behind him, and Jolt, to do just that. To the other's aft.]

[electrowhipit]

I'm not exactly oppos-- [ kjhdfds hi there Sideswipe ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Shall we test your engine now...? Or...?

[Leans back a little more.]

[electrowhipit]

[ loops an arm around him ] Are you asking me or the car?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Mm... take it however you want to.

[Still... staring at that car though.]

[electrowhipit]

[ he laughs, giving Sideswipe a little shove towards the car ]

Go on.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He saunters over to the driver's side, running his hand over the exterior the whole while. Opening the door, however... he raises an eyebrow.]

Well? Come on now. Get in.

[electrowhipit]

[ ohoho, heading to the passenger's side door and climbing in ]
