Okay. That's it.

Skyfire decides to take a more firm tone.

"No."




Whatever a dup was.

At this point, Soundwave just begins to absolutely bawl. Somehow, he just couldn't understand. Why didn't Skyfire want to see the ducks?! Weren't they still important? Didn't he want to make sure they were okay?

It'd been so long since he'd seen them, and he thought for sure they were gone. But now he could make sure!

"Why? Why not? Why can't we go see the dups? They're important, Spyfuhr! I can go see them, I can do it!! PLEASE, SPYFUHR!"

[notyourchauffer]

"No! You're having an episode. We're going home."

At this point he turns the wheelchair around and sees the small handful of people watching this whole thing unfold.

What a terrible man, denying his poor, challenged brother.

Meanwhile Soundwave still flailing about, sobbing.

The disapproving faces of the onlookers.

He turns the chair around again.

"Okay. Okay. We'll go! Just shhhhh." He quickly wheels his friend toward the pond in the park. What was so special about it anyways? Why did he want so badly to-

Oh.

The ducks. In the park.

Dups.

Ducks.

And now he really feels bad.

Much to his relief, Skyfire agrees to take him to the pond. Almost like an off-switch, the waterworks turn off and the Decepticon looks immensely pleased as they head to the pond.

And there is relief as he sees the ducks.

His voice changes to his more normal monotone, emitting, "THEY ARE SAFE."

[notyourchauffer]

It's horridly cute. Mostly sad, though. They're not the ducks Soundwave is seeking, but that doesn't matter.

What matters is that Soundwave does care.

And now the shuttle feels horrid for snapping at him.

"I'm so sorry." He drapes his arms around teh Decepticon. Probably the only time he'll ever get a real hug out of him, but that hardly matters.

[operationfail]

The hug makes him pause.

Then arms drape around Skyfire's neck, flopping a bit as he leans up to hug him back.

"APOLOGY: REJECTED."

[notyourchauffer]

"Oh, Soundwave." Skyfire sighs quietly.

"You're really drugged up."

But the thought is nice.

The thought is very, very nice.
