Summary: Drabbles from Seasonal prompts. Bumblebee learning about some of Earth's holidays.
AN: It's getting nearer to Christmas and since I have been sworn on pain of death NOT to buy the Transformers DVD (out in Dec for me) so I can get it for Christmas I decided to vent a little fluff!
Drabble Prompts: Spring , Summer , Autumn/Fall , Winter
Spring
"I still don't understand."
"Bee, what don't you understand?"
"The human holiday of Easter."
"What about it?"
"Well the internet says it is a celebration of the resurrection of your World's Messiah and a remembrance of the sacrifice he gave with his life for your sins."
"Yeah that's pretty much the text book description. What's not to get? I mean, I may not be the most religious of people but it seems pretty straight forward to me."
"Yes, it's not that I don't understand."
"Then what Bee?"
"What I don't understand is the significance and meaning behind exchanging chocolate eggs as a representation of that event."
"........."
"Sam?"
"..........I don't get it either, but chocolate's chocolate my friend."
"Oh...Okay, if you say so my Sam."
Summer
"I think I might actually melt in this heat."
"But Sam, that wouldn't be possible without a considerable amount of heat greater than your Earth's atmosphere currently..."
"Figure of speech Bumblebee."
"Oh...what a weird 'figure of speech.'"
"For a 16ft metal alien robot, yeah. But then again you don't sweat do you?"
"My body is affected by different temperatures also."
"I know Bee, but Autobots are affected differently.
"Oh...well, yes I suppose so..."
"Bee?"
"........"
"Bee you okay?"
"....We are very different aren't we."
"Um, just a bit Bee."
"Do you think that means we have different emotions too?"
"What'd you mean Bee?"
"......"
"Bee?"
"Would you like to go for a drive Sam? If we leave the windows down you'll get a nice breeze."
"Bee, I....okay, sure buddy..."
Autumn/Fall
"Come on Bee it's fun!"
"But they're dead."
"Course they are, leaves die around this time of year. Then they fall to the floor, we rake them up and then..."
"Then you jump in them...why?"
"Because it's fun! Makes me feel like a kid again!"
"But you've spent an hour raking them up tidily."
"Bee, I thought you were the fun one of the Autobots? Don't you ever just do something for fun anymore?"
"....I may have known I was freaking you out that time I was following you when we first met."
"...You did that on purpose?"
"Sorry."
"No, it's....bad giant robot, scaring the crap out of your charge. Bad bad robot."
"I'm bad?"
"Okay you sounded far too upset then, I'm sorry. You're in fact a very good robot!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, MY very good robot."
"Yours..."
"Oh...wrong choice of words?"
".....No....No, very right choice of words."
Winter
"Sam? What are you doing?"
"Giving you a tinsel scarf."
"What is tinsel?"
"It's something we use to decorate our house with at Christmas."
"Christmas...Christmas..."
"You looking it up on the internet?"
"Yep."
"And?"
"......Christmas sounds fun."
"Knew you'd come round to my way of thinking."
"Some sites also suggest it's very stressful."
"Only for people who see it as a chore."
"I take it you don't?"
"No way, I love Christmas! Presents, family, Christmas Dinner, tinsel..."
"I like tinsel too."
"...Crappy Christmas movies that you watch anyway, stockings, candy canes, mistletoe..."
"Mistletoe?"
"Oh, very popular around Christmas. People hang it in doorways so that if two people get caught under it they have to kiss. It's tradition."
"It's also poisonous."
"Yes well, they aren't supposed to eat it afterwards."
"Oh."
"......."
"What're you looking for Sam?"
"Sorry, hold on....I put something in my pocket earlier..."
"Oh."
"...Just....a min..AHA!"
"...That's Mistletoe."
"Yep."
"Why have you got....why are you holding it over my head?"
"Just don't drop me."
"What? Sam I......oh!"
"Well I'm guessing that's where your cheek is supposed to be."
"..........."
"Bee?"
"............."
"Bee, you okay?"
"......This is essentially where my mouth would be."
