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.

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."
