Smokescreen: Hey, Sludge. Want a drink?
Sludge: *lifts his head from some art* Mm? Sure! Me, Sludge would like some.
Smokescreen: *looks around as he gives it* This place is big.
Sludge: *carefully holds the cup while he drinks* Needs to be big for all us Dinobots and family and minibots.
Smokescreen: *nods, and then blinks as Sludge is suddenly much smaller, kinda blue, and with a tentacle beard* Okay, I'm going to go kill Sideswipe now. I'll see you later.
Sludge: *blinks at his body* ...oh, this again. =_=
Dan: *pauses where he just came out in his new dino mode* Hey... who are you?
Smokescreen: *going to put dents in a Lambo*
Sludge: *waves nervously* It's me, Sludge. Smokescreen gave Sludge bad drink.
Dan: *little growl as he walks over* What'd he do that for?!
Sludge: *gives Smokescreen a frown* Don't know. *he flicks his tail* Look on bightside, me Sludge can sit at the table.
Dan: *changes to his root mode and frowns up at his changed father, then climbs up him and gives him as big a hug as a little boy can give* Sway won't like it.
Sludge: *cuddles Dan close* Me, Sludge not like it either. Not sure what to do.
Dan: Well... let's go show Mom.
Sludge: *nods and balances Dan on his still large shoulders and wanders off to find her.*
Amy: *chasing around a cleaning bot who is trailing a long string, a wrapped package of something for supper in one hand*
Dan: I'll get it! *up off Sludge's shoulders in saucer mode as he goes after the cleaner*
Sludge: *scratches a hoofed foot on the floor* Amy-girl. Me drink a thing from him, Smokescreen. Got LOL'd.
Amy: *whirls at the familiar but slightly smaller voice* 0.0 Ahh! How could he?
Dan: *wrestling with the vacuum cleaner*
Sludge: Him offer drink and then say he mad at Sideswipe!
Amy: *blinks* I bet he gave it to you to test it. Sideswipe likes to play jokes, doesn't he?
Sludge: Mean of him... yeah. *Gives a slow smile* One good thing.
Amy: *sets the package down on a nearby table and then hops up to put her arms around his neck and her head on his shoulder*
Sludge: *laughs softly and holds her close to him* Yeah. That.
Amy: *gently strokes the back of his neck* You'll fit in my hammock now.
Sludge: Uhuh...it bed time now? *a little excited*
Amy: *soft laughter* We haven't had supper yet. *lifts her head and smiles into his eyes* //Cureall, are you there?//
Cureall: //What is it? This one is here.//
Sludge: Me try to wait. *serious nod*
Amy: *gentle kiss on Sludge's cheek* //I know it's really short notice... but do you think you'd mind babysitting tonight?//
Sway: *wanting to stay and play with Starsong!*
Cureall: *laughs* //No problem. Sway and Starsong are enjoying each other immensely today.//
Amy: //I'll be right there to bring some things for them. Would you like me to bring their supper too?// *smiles at Sludge again, her green eyes dancing*
Sludge: *can't hear all that's being said, just happily kisses and nuzzles Amy*
Cureall: //It would be nice if you could. This one's skills still lack compared to you.//
Amy: *distracted, but then remembers her conversation* //Mmm. Sorry. Oh. I just have sandwich things tonight. Pickles, blitzbread, and some nice blue roast.//
Cureall: *another giggle* //Bring them by when you're ready. This is making this one hungry//
Dan: *back with string, takes one look at parents and turns and scoots out of the room shrieking 'ewwwww!'
Amy: *tears self away from husband kissing, her face turning red* I'd better bring the kids' supper and their overnight things to Cureall.
Sludge: *totally oblivious* Okay. Me Sludge wait for you.
Amy: *gently touches his cheek, and then hops down and goes to gather up little PJs and toys, toothbrushes and books. Packs these up and then makes several small sandwiches before bringing the full sized makings to Cureall and Kigan's apartment upstairs, where Dan is telling Cureall that Mom and Dad are being MUSHY*
Cureall: *is giggling like mad*
Amy: *turns very red* Um... heh.
Cureall: Don't worry, this one gets up to the very same with Kigan. Enjoy your time with Sludge. *she holds out her hand out to take the food and such*
Amy: *gives the bags, and the kids' suppers, and then steps back and takes the full size chunk of Blitzbread, and the huge can of roast, and the big package of pickles out of subspace* Oh blah, the pickles dripped. *still blushing*
Cureall: Heh, they still look good. We'll all enjoy it.
Amy: *finishes up with Cureall and the kids, and then goes home and has a quiet evening in front of the fireplace with her mate. She sleeps on Sludge's chest like she does most nights, but finds that his being smaller and softer makes him easier to snuggle.
