[Open] Gifts and Making Friends

WHO: Flonne and you~
WHERE: Prima’s Quadrant/Police Headquarters
WHEN: Around now
WHAT: Flonne wandering, but wandering with a purpose in a quest to befriend the one and only Mr. Grumpy who is also known as Prowl. Crayon pictures may be involved.
WARNINGS: None so far, unless you count the fact Flonne is dense as a brick. Will add when needed.

Flonne had been content and happy to remain within the temple and only making treks to explore now and again. Even obtaining food was an adventure, sure it was hard but being positive about it all was the best way to get through it and there was also some really interesting things sometimes found in the Junkyard. But this wasn’t exploring time, but a mission of most importance.

She had a robot to befriend and show just how wonderful such love could be.

Which was why she was actually walking with a purpose, she was not going to allow herself to be distracted by anything today. She was going to march right into that Police Headquarters her little sack full of handmade tokens she had made, and was about and give the first blow in the battle of love and kindness. She had made this first strike extra special and had even made a lot of extra things to give to others there. It had taken a lot of time to find all of the supplies and then make the pictures and paper flowers, but she had done so. There was even a special one that she left back where she was sleeping to give to Prima somehow to say thank you for letting her stay here when she had shown up. That one though would be done on a special delivery when she learned how to give it to him.

But that was not now. Today was a day of thanking and brightening up those who were trying to protect them.

[Blurr was finishing his paperwork when he decided to take a break and go get some low grade hot energon. He was walking back to his office with what it looked like and oversize cup of tea in his hand when he saw the little girl. He recognized her immediately and smiled.]

Hello Flonne, can I help you?

[And that is all the encouragement that she needs before she practically skips, somehow in heels, over to there Blurr. She's already rooting around in her little patchwork and highly beaten up little bag before she had fully come to a stop a few feet from you.]

Hi Mister Blurr! This is for you.

[And she's suddenly holding out a paper flower that's a bit of a darker blue then he is.]

[Aww, such and energetic little girl. Blurr likes those.
Energetic people, not little girls.]

Hell...oh, what's that? Is it for me?

[And she just nods and cheerfully smiles even more up at you in answer at first. Before deciding a verbal answer is also needed. As well as getting on her soap box.]

Ahuh. When I was making gifts for Mister Prima and Mister Prowl I decided to make gifts for everyone else as well here! To say thank you for helping everyone and just to hope it can make everyone smile even a little bit. Because everyone deserves love and friendship!

[He picks it up really carefully with his free hand, smiling.] No one ever made something_{like this for} me before.

Prime AND Prowl? That's sweet but why those two bots at first? I should get you something in return. Friendship is really important, I agree. Love is hardest to find, though.

[That gets a small pout of shock for a moment before she just smiles even brighter somehow.] That can't be right because you're really nice and helpful. Maybe they were too shy to give you a gift because you must have a lot of friends!

[You can not make her believe otherwise over this because clearly you must have friends everywhere on this planet.]

Well. Mister Prima because he let me stay in his temple when I first got here and I really want to thank him for doing that and even though it might not be much I want to give him something that might get even a small bit of happiness to him. And Prowl seems like he needs to see how wonderful friendship is and I promised I would try and prove he can have them and be happy too. I'm going to be the very best friend I can be to Mister Prowl. You just have to believe that Love will always find a way!

I have friends here. It was a bit different before because of my job. [Blurr kneels down so it's easier for her to talk to him.] I _spent a lot of time alone but that was because I was doing something important.

[Oh Flonne, you are such a delusional cute person. Never change.] I'm sure Prime will appreciate it, I doubt that the FirstForget get many presents like this. Prowl, though...are you sure you will like it?

[Do you see that wide eye look? You just made her want to be your friend even more now over the thought of you being alone. So if that sudden attachment to one of your legs bothers you sorry, but she's going to cling there for a while.]

That's so sad, even if it was important no one should have to be alone. Everyone should have someone they can lean on even briefly. Though I'm glad you you now have a lot more friends now Mister Blurr. I'm so glad for you.

[And you finally loose that attachment as she lets go and backs up a moment to think]

I hope he does, because they all let us stay and watch us so it is just polite to thank them for such. They didn't have to help us at all but they were kind enough to do so. Do you think I should say thank you to the others just to be polite as well?

[Why would she not like it?]

Of course I will. Everyone deserves kindness and maybe that's all he needs is someone to give him that chance! Mister Prowl has to have love deep down in him as well just waiting to be let out.

Ehh...! [It doesn't bother him as much as it surprises him. Blurr doesn't push her away but tries not to lose his balance and fell down by accident, he could hurt her. More friends are always welcome, though.]

I..eh..w-wellyesIagreeandIdohavemorefriendshere...that's counts right?

[Ah, freedom. Blurr smiles down at her.]

You are a really sweet, caring person, Flonne. [Have a soft pat in the head, girl.]

I think that some might like it, Vector and Solus perhaps, but Me-ga-tro-nus might not even want to see you. He's not a nice FirstForget you should be careful around him.

You know what? I agree. [There's a smirk on Blurr's face.] Prowl could always have more nice things in his life. I don't know him much or at all but he seems lonely. [And that coming from Blurr says a lot.]

It counts if it makes you happy to be their friend and you to be theirs.

[Clearly it is completely logical in her mind and so she just smiles even more as she gets that pat on the head.]

Maybe no one has tried to give Mister Megatronus what he would like or want. We'll never know for certain unless we try and I'm going to try and find a way to make even him smile. Like Mister Prowl they just need a chance.

I don't want to think of anyone not being allowed friendship no matter how awful they may act.

[At that Blurr relaxes marginally and his smile soften. There's still a somewhat sad look in his eyes.] Yes, it does. I might not be as close to others as the Brave police is to each other but I appreciate them a lot.

[And frankly, I hurt a lot when Power joy told him that he couldn't help McCrane because he was not 'his family'.]

Maybe is it that but before you go see Megatronus, might I ask who's your FirstForged? [He knows that Megatronus hates anything related to Prime and Blurr doesn't want her hurt.]Willyougiveprowlahugtoo?

Who are the Brave Police Mister Blurr? I don't think I ever met them.

[Because something is going on that is making you sad and she doesn't like that. She wants you to be happy Blurr.]

Oh! Mister Prima was the one who let me stay in his temple when I arrived here, which was really nice of him. [And it takes a moment to fully understand that last part.] And of course I will. Though if he's like Laharl it might take a while before he'll let me.

[She's still trying with Laharl, but one day it will happen.]

Some members ^{of the police force} were already agents of the law before they arrived here and they were called the BRAVE POLICE. They are _{McCrane, Power Joe, Drill}Boy and Kagerou. Theyarereallyclose.

[Don't worry Flonne, he tries not to think about it too much.]

Oh. Tarn is one of Prima's too, be careful.I never talked much to Prima himself. [He needs to remember to talk more slowly in front of humans.] but I talked to Laharl when I was human. Is he one of your close friends.

It must be really nice to have so many friends from home here with you. I'm happy for them.

[Even though she would really like others from her home here as well. She also has no idea why you're telling her to be careful, but she'll agree so you don't have to worry about here.]

Okay, Mister Blurr and I haven't talked to Mister Prima either yet, but I'm certain he's really nice.

And Laharl is a really special friend to me, yes. He can be self centered, rude, and violent a lot of the time; but, he has a lot of kindness in his heart that he's afraid to show.

It must be. I don't belong to the same world as the Brave Police members.

[Blurr would like to see a few people too but he's glad he made new friends here. And he's warning you because Tarn is bad juju.]

He's one of the strongest FirstForged, I believe. Let _{me know how} it goes when you talk to him, please.

He's not violent with you, isn't he? [Because that's big NO in Blurr's books.]

He is? That's really cool, he must have a lot of stories of battles and such he's been in.

[She may be a former Angel, but her time in the Netherworld and being a demon now is starting to affect her. She used to not be in anyway battle crazy.]

Not that I can think of. He does like to yell and order, but he does that for all his vassals. We haven't fought one another since we first met.

That I have no doubt. [Blurr smiles again, he bets a lot of fight stories have to do with Megatronus as well.

Cybertronians are so used to battle that talking about them doesn't faze them anymore. He is surprised to hear that she used to fight him too.]

That's good. You fought against him? really? But you seem so...nice and peaceful.

It was because I was trying to fulfill my mission for Master Lamington and there was a misunderstanding, but it worked out in the end and now Laharl is one of my dear friends.

[Likely no one is really going to believe such, but Flonne doesn't know that and just happily explains everything the way she saw it...which is usually not always the most accurate and best description of what happened.]

[Blurr is a bit confused, no lie. He decided that since she seems happy with the way things are he's just going to nod and agree.]

Ah well..if he is your friend I guess all is...fine.

[Scoof.] Are you hungry? We have some organics_{food here, some} of the Police Force members are humans or almost human.

Drift wasn't a huge fan of the police, but he does try to do a circuit of the First Forged temples, just to make sure everything's all right. And to clear his head. Today, he's rolling through Prima's when he spots the small figure, rolling to a stop. Wasn't she the one who insisted Laharl was a nice guy? She clearly needed someone to dissuade her from bad ideas.

CLEARLY that someone was Drift.

He rolls to a slow pace beside her. "Haven't seen you in a while, Flonne." Okay, he's not the greatest with icebreakers. Decepticons weren't really that hot with social graces.

It takes her a moment, because despite being her for a while now she is still really not as used to having those she once talked to suddenly being vehicles as well. That doesn't stop her long as she smiling just as widely as normal as she greets him back. She doesn't even notice if there was anything wrong with that conversation opener.

"Hello again Mister Drift! I'm sorry, I was making gifts and I'm sorry for not being around as much as I should have been."

He debates transforming, but she doesn't seem freaked out by his alt, so he keeps rolling beside her.

"Making gifts? For what? Is there a holiday?" Has he missed one?

After the many things she has seen back home a talking car that is also a robot is barely more then a fangirl reaction in regards to how she feels about such.

"Uhuh. I wanted to thank Mr. Prima for letting me in his temple, and then one for Prowl to show I want to be his friend. Then I decided it wouldn't be nice to not make gifts for everyone just to make them smile and so it took a lot longer then I thought. Because giving someone a reason to smile should be everyday and not just because there's a reason to make you do so!"

She has no idea she's preaching and waving the bag she has around as she speaks.

"Though, I still need to make many more for everyone and for the First Forge. I don't really know what to give them as gifts to say thank you for letting us stay here."

"Oh." He sounds a little sheepish. It's a little opposite his usual borderline resentment. And better, he realizes. Gratitude is always better.

"I, uh, I hope the one to Prowl works." And one day Flonne might not try to befriend the grumpiest people ever. "Can I ask what you made him or is it a surprise?"

He considers. "I think with gifts it's really the thought that counts? What you intend, and what you feel when you were getting it ready." At least he hopes so because he is pretty lame at gifts.

"I made him some flowers and a picture to brighten his day. It's not much, but I hope he will like them even a little. I hope I can make better gifts when I get to know him better."

Secrets and subtle moves are not part of her very nature. So keeping anything hushed up never crossed her mind. She's also very simple minded in her thinking at times so she just decides to dig in the bag she has all of a sudden even as she talks.

"I hope so Mister Drift, but do you think I should ask others first for them. They're really important here and I don't want them to think I was being rude to them."

And suddenly she's pulling something out of her bag and for a few moments she spends fixing it before holding it out. The paper flower is nothing that would be considered professionally made, but it's not sloppily done either.

"I can guarantee he won't have anything like it already." And if he isn't appreciative enough, Drift may have to have words with him. "He was on Earth, at one point. Maybe you could ask him about it and get to know him better that way."

Yet another Brilliant Idea by Drift.

"I'm not sure how anyone could find a surprise gift to be rude, Flonne."

He transforms, pushing up from his alt mode, to kneel in front of her as she holds it out. "That's...amazing." He reaches a hand to touch it. "How did you learn to do that?"

"Really? I've never been to earth it must have been really fascinating. I hope he doesn't mind talking about it."

And she just pushes the flower more towards you in the common 'take it' gesture.

"I just watched others. There was an angel who made really pretty ones that looked real and were very colorful. I'm not as good as he was, but I hope it's enough to be a nice gift. There's not exactly flowers here and flowers always made me happy so I thought maybe others would be happy to if they saw flowers. Even fake ones."

"If anyone can make him focus on the positives, it's you." Really, she's almost relentless. He can remember enough of his former self to know she'd have driven him crazy. But that he would have deserved it.

He takes the flower, carefully holding it in the palm of his hand. "Anything that's a sign of life is good, I think. Especially here." He doesn't think any 'angel' could do much better, himself.

"I'll do my best!"

Seeing him take the flower is enough to cause her little demon wings to flap a bit as she sees this a a positive sign. Even though she has a head full of flowers as Etna would like to say, she does know not everyone might like them like she does or even at all. So the fact that these new people she's meeting would like them and take them is a great relief to her.

"I'll also do my best to make certain there's color and happiness here as well, and thank you Mister Drift for being you!"

"That's all anyone can ask." He almost wants to see this: an epic combat between Flonne's cheerful optimism and....Prowl.

All it needs is theme music.

He smiles. She reminds him of some of the people on Earth. Only nicer. "You could decorate part of the Hub with these?" Wing would like that, he thinks, part of their building turned into a bower of color and creativity.

He laughs. "Not a lot of people are happy with me being me, but thank you, Flonne."

"I can try Mister Drift. It would take a while because I have to find the paper and then make the flowers and everything here is so big. So that would be a lot of flowers to make. But I'll give it my all because that sounds like a really fantastic idea."

She should have thought of such before, but she's just really happy that he had thought of it and had shared the idea with her. Even as she is also a bit confused and sad that anyone wouldn't be happy with Drift. She thinks there's nothing wrong with him at all as she darts closer and attempts the closes thing to a hug a small organic can do when they maybe come up to a Cybertronians ankle.

"They just don't realize how great you are yet Mister Drift."

Once she entered the HQ, Flonne would find the door to Prowl's office to be open. It was a little off to the side, but some brief wandering should reveal it to her soon enough.

If one had to describe the room in three words, it'd be gray, rectilinear, and desolate. Given time and proper supplies, he had organized all his material into carefully dated and labeled rows. His workplace was kept as colorless and sterile as a Level 4 Biosafety laboratory. He may as well have planned to use it as an operating room rather than a desk.

But as dreary and depressing as it looked from the outside, Prowl himself seemed perfectly content to sit in his orderly space. Everything was where it belonged and in control. Right now, he was fixed in front of a monitor, helping with whatever secondary tasks he had assigned himself.

The lack of color anywhere is a bit intimidating at first, because even in the Netherworld there had been color. Even if most of those colors were dark or due to things like lava. Still, she had a mission and the target was in this room. His door was open so that means he didn't mind if someone visited right? At least that was how she thinks it works, but she decides to just be even more polite just in case he was busy with something really important.

"Excuse me, Mister Prowl."

It isn't quite a yell or scream, but it is in a voice much louder then she normally uses. She also waves an arm in the air in the event he doesn't look down at the floor first. It was still something to get used to about having to watch out because she was surrounded by those who could step on her and they may not be used to avoiding tiny people scurrying around.

Prowl's gaze slowly wanders down from eye level upon seeing his doorframe empty. Oh. there you are. He's not irritated at the interruption, just puzzled. Particularly because he'd only seen this girl once before. And she's holding some sort of paper token?

He doesn't get up from his desk, though he does look from his work.

"Are you lost?"

That's all she needs really to smile and bounce in. Her gift held in her hands as she moves towards him. Maybe she should have made them more colorful then making them like his paint job, but it was too late for that now.

"I'm not lost at all!"

And she finally makes it to within grabbing distance of Prowl and his desk.

"I came to give you something Mister Prowl."

Flonne what even are you.

He is dead silent as she - well, prances up to him with the paper flowers. There's an awkward pause as he decides what's the appropriate response.

Because he could just tell her to beat it, but that seemed a little too cold-hearted, even for him.

".....Make it quick."

Edited 2013-06-18 21:41 (UTC)

She is clearly something that should not exist in the same dimension as Prowl.

And if you were expecting her to act even remotely contrite or anything over that response, because it doesn't even make her pause or that smile to dim in the least. She just holds up the flowers and the card attached to them by a frayed black ribbon she had found.

"I made these for you Mister Prowl. To show I do want to be your friend as well as to thank you for being part of the Police group trying to protect us all. Because it can't be an easy job and you're willing to do so. So thank you!"

Oh.

Yeah.

People give gifts, don't they?

A white hand reaches down to pick up the tiny card and flowers. His expression didn't exude any particular warmth as he accepted it, but he was careful not to damage them. Which, considering they were made of paper, required some degree of finesse.

"....Thank you."

She just smiles even more, because you took them far more quickly then she had expected from the way everyone had reacted when she had said she was going to do this.

"You're welcome Mister Prowl, and good luck on doing everything you do to help us all. You can do it."
