Summary/Prompt: dazzled optics ~ some bots love what earth has got to offer in entertainment.
Spike found himself disappointed when the light show faded. He wasn’t the only one.
“Ah, it’s over already?” That was Ironhide’s distinctive drawl.
“Just when it was getting good, too!” Sideswipe’s input wasn’t too much of a surprise, as he was vocal in his likes and dislikes.
Looking around, Spike saw a few bots that seemed to be locked in place. “What did you think of it, Cliffjumper?” Spike’s question brought the red minibot back to the present.
“That was awesome!” Cliffjumper exclaimed. “Is there going to be a repeat tomorrow?”
Uncontrollable laughter burst from the young Witwicky. “The sparklers and colored air-bursts are only shown once, maybe twice a year - second time’s during the New Year’s Celebration.”
“Kapow!” the brownish-red tank - a recent arrival from Cybertron (one of Ultra Magnus’ division, routed for reinforcement of the Autobot Earth Base), - asked “when is the New Year’s outdoor light show happening? Kapow!”
“About six months from now.” Spike said.
“Nothing earlier?” Ironhide frowned. Sideswipe seemed disappointed too.
“Nope, sorry.” Blinking his eyes, trying to adjust to the sudden darkness (it had still been light when the first firework went up, and with the semi-constant glares from the burning fuses, summer’s sunset had been ignored and forgotten), Spike looked around, counting the Autobots. “Hey, weren’t there more of you at the beginning?”
“Ah, Optimus Prime remembered some paperwork he had to deal with,” the red gunner didn’t sound very convincing, but Spike realized he wouldn’t be getting the real reason Bumblebee, and about half the group had left early.
