A quiet, poignant moment in the Protectobots' lives, and I love the epitaph Groove wrote.

First Aid is just such a gentle, tender soul. he couldn't have left poor Bird there. thanks! i knew it had to be short and sweet, because otherwise it wouldn't fit on the rock, and i'm glad it worked! i was nervous when i put it down; short verse was never my forte.

Their naming a bird "Bird" is adorable. At moments like that, it's clear the Protectobots haven't had a chance to become jaded over millenia of war. You can see it in the hopeful afterlife they imagined for Bird.

they do, indeed, still have the innocence of youth for all that they've been tossed into the war with no other prep. i think it must be hard on the older Bots to see that in them, sometimes.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! It doesn't help that I'm seriously sentimental about poor little dead animals, but that was kinda heart-wrenching and very cute.

[eerian_sadow]

it was heart wrenching to write, too. i'm glad that the P-bot cuteness still shone through, though--even when Blades was being a jerk.

Awwww, so lovely - of course Aid would stop to bury Bird, and I love Groove's verse! <3

[eerian_sadow]

thank you! he totally would, and any other poor animal on the side of the road too. thank you again! short verse isn't my forte, so i was a little nervous about it. <3
